1. Look! The Imperial army is retreating!
  2. Steady, Hilda. Don't get too excited just yet. We've only repelled the first wave of their assault.
  3. The Empire has been funneling a great deal of troops [cdb]into Leicester since taking control of the Great Bridge of Myrddin.
  4. I expect they'll have plenty of reinforcements at [cdb]the ready, fresh and fully prepared to fight.
  5. Sharp as ever, Holst. I was thinking the same [cdb]thing. We're not out of the woods just yet.
  6. But...you still have your plan, right?
  7. But you still have that plan, right, Claude?
  8. I believe it is high time you explain exactly what [cdb]scheme you hold up your sleeve.
  9. Just keep your eyes on the enemy, and you'll know [cdb]soon enough. Assuming the plan actually succeeds, [cdb]that is.
  10. Um, what do you mean by that?
  11. Enough with the theatrics. Do you truly intend to [cdb]evade our questions, even now?
  12. Well, if that's what our leader says, we'll just have to [cdb]monitor the Imperial army and await good news.
  13. If you are satisfied with that, Lord Holst, then it will [cdb]have to suffice.
  14. Ask why he's being so vague.
  15. Ask how long you'll have to wait.
  16. I don't get it. Why're you still being so tight-lipped [cdb]about this plan?
  17. I don't get it. Why're you still being so tight-lipped [cdb]about this plan?
  18. Just keeping my promise to a certain individual who [cdb]also happens to be the linchpin of this entire scheme.
  19. How long are we gonna have to wait before we know [cdb]if it worked?
  20. How long are we gonna have to wait before we know [cdb]if it worked?
  21. Good question. I'd say about three days, give or take. If everything goes as planned, it'll all be clear as a [cdb]nice summer sky.
  22. And, Lorenz? Apologies in advance.
  23. Why are you apologizing only to me? That feels [cdb]somewhat disquieting. Oh, very well, I shall wait [cdb]to see just what it is you have been scheming.
  24. But to be clear, if this plan of yours fails, the Alliance [cdb]is finished. We will no longer be able to resist the Empire.
  25. Yes, I'm well aware. Failure isn't an option.
