- What is the situation? Is the archbishop safe?
 
    - Forgive me. Our initial strike on the monastery
[cdb]proved successful...
 
    - But my unit was separated from Lady Rhea's,
[cdb]and before we knew it those dark mages had
[cdb]descended upon us.
 
    - You've done well to make it here. Thank you for
[cdb]your report.
 
    - Lady Rhea's in trouble. We have to help her!
 
    - There's no point panicking about it, Mercie.
 
    - If they're giving even the knights trouble, we should
[cdb]make sure we're extra ready before we head in there
[cdb]ourselves.
 
    - Lady Rhea possesses greater knowledge of the
[cdb]monastery than anyone else.
 
    - If she is in distress after her successful surprise attack,
[cdb]that is troubling indeed.
 
    - Lady Rhea's got a better grasp of the monastery's
[cdb]layout than anyone.
 
    - Even with her smaller unit, she had a real shot of
[cdb]taking the whole place by herself.
 
    - Those mages must have thrown off our calculations.
 
    - I bring news, Your Majesty. We've just concluded our
[cdb]survey of Garreg Mach and its surroundings.
 
    - A man we believe to be Thales was seen entering the
[cdb]monastery with the emperor following close behind.
 
    - So she's fallen into his hands.
 
    - So Viscount Fenja spoke true.
 
    - The one grasping the reins of the Imperial army now
[cdb]is no longer Edelgard, but Thales.
 
    - Surely those dark mages are his as well.
 
    - Makes sense why the knights had trouble, then.
 
    - Makes sense why the knights had trouble, then.
 
    - Indeed. Still, with all our greatest enemies gathered
[cdb]in one place, we have a chance to end this war here
[cdb]and now.
 
    - If we can put them to rout here, so much of what ails
[cdb]our Kingdom will be destroyed along with them.
 
    - Hmph, perhaps. But our task is clear either way.
 
    - Yep. Smash our enemies, win the war, and restore
[cdb]peace to Fódlan.
 
    - Yep. Smash our enemies, win the war, and restore
[cdb]peace to Fódlan.
 
    - Well said.
 
    - The Alliance should be here soon as well, assuming
[cdb]they've broken through the Imperial ranks in the
Valley of Torment.
 
    - The Alliance should be here soon as well, assuming

    - Everyone. This battle will determine what lies
[cdb]ahead for Fódlan—not just tomorrow, but every
[cdb]day beyond that as well.
 
    - We cannot afford much time to prepare, but let us
[cdb]ready to make our future a prosperous one.
