0. The Imperial army is on the run. Looks like my plan [cdb]went off without a hitch.
1. According to a messenger from my father, Gloucester [cdb]forces have launched a surprise attack on the Great Bridge of Myrddin.
2. What did you say?!
3. The Imperial forces were caught completely off guard [cdb]and have been driven back. The bridge is once again [cdb]under Alliance control.
4. He also said that Count Ordelia is working with Count Gloucester to fortify southern Leicester.
5. Using a false surrender to draw the enemy into a [cdb]disadvantageous position... I take it that was your [cdb]plan, my lord?
6. Yeah, basically. Except that Count Gloucester [cdb]wouldn't have acted if we hadn't won the battle [cdb]for Derdriu.
7. That was the promise we made. And thanks to all of [cdb]you, I held up my end of the bargain.
8. So, uh... What's all that mean, now?
9. They're saying that House Gloucester and House Ordelia never really betrayed the Alliance!
10. I hope you can all forgive me. I knew the whole time, [cdb]but my father had sworn me to secrecy.
11. You knew about this, Lysithea? But...my father never [cdb]breathed a word of it to me!
12. Claude, why was I not informed?
13. Again, I'm sorry about that. Your father made me [cdb]swear not to say anything until it was over and [cdb]done with.
14. But why? Is this another sign that he has yet to [cdb]consider me a worthy successor?
15. That's not it, Lorenz. But it's also not my place to [cdb]speak for your father.
16. You should ask him yourself the next time you [cdb]see him.
17. Nrgh...
18. I'm sure this all came as a shock to you, Lorenz, [cdb]but there's no time to sulk. We need to move, [cdb]and quick.
19. If we don't surround and quash the Imperial army [cdb]right away, this little plan will backfire, and Count Gloucester will be the one left vulnerable.
20. He's right. If Count Bergliez were to enter the fray [cdb]now, our allies at the Great Bridge would be caught [cdb]in a pincer attack.
21. Ask about Count Bergliez.
22. Ask about the pincer movement.
23. Who's this Count Bergliez person?
24. Who's this Count Bergliez person?
25. The Empire's Minister of Military Affairs. His house [cdb]holds the territory on the opposite end of the Great Bridge.
26. I've yet to face him on the battlefield myself, but he's [cdb]regarded as the greatest warrior in the Empire.
27. So what's this "pincer" thing?
28. So what's this "pincer" thing?
29. The territory on the opposite end of the Great Bridge [cdb]is controlled by Count Bergliez, who is said to be the Empire's greatest warrior.
30. If his forces were to attack the bridge from one end [cdb]while the Imperial troops still in Alliance territory [cdb]attacked it from the other...
31. I see where this is going. We need to move.
32. I see where this is going. We need to move.
33. I hate to ask this of you when you're still exhausted [cdb]from the last battle, but I'm going to need one more [cdb]push from each of you.
