Is something wrong, my lord? Have you noticed
[cdb]anything amiss?
Hmm... No, it's nothing. Looks like we're coming up
[cdb]on Gronder Field.
And here I was, bracing for a ruthless attack the
[cdb]moment we crossed the Great Bridge.
It seems like Count Bergliez wants to settle this the
[cdb]old-fashioned way. No tricks, just one soldier bashing
[cdb]into another.
And look at that. He was nice enough to have his
[cdb]troops all lined up and waiting for us.
Those are all offensive formations. It's as if each
[cdb]battalion is a giant monster, ready to pounce.
I thought the army that invaded Leicester was
[cdb]fearsome, but this force... They are truly in a
[cdb]league of their own!
Your legs are shaking, Lorenz. Are you scared?
Don't be preposterous! I am merely quivering with
[cdb]excitement over the impending battle!
Hey, check it out. Looks like we'll be up against
Jeralt's company again today.
Hey, aren't those the mercenaries we fought before?
Jeralt's band, right? I guess we'll be going up against
[cdb]them today, too.
Yep. And this time, I'll slay the Ashen Demon
[cdb]for sure.
Yep. And this time, I'll slay the Ashen Demon
[cdb]for sure.
Well, my business is with their captain. I just wish
[cdb]there was a way I could speak to him...
You know Jeralt?
You know Jeralt?
Of course, I'm his apprentice. But I haven't seen him
[cdb]in years. Not since he left my village.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to go easy on him
[cdb]just because he trained me. I wanna take him on and
[cdb]show him how much stronger I've gotten.
Jeralt's really tough. Don't get yourself killed, OK?
Jeralt's really tough. Don't get yourself killed, OK?
You don't need to worry about me. I'll get out of
[cdb]there if it turns out I'm no match for him. Then I'll
[cdb]just keep challenging him until I am.
Watch out for the mercenaries, but remember our
[cdb]real target is the Imperial army's top commander,
Count Bergliez.
If you aren't confident you can handle him, then keep
[cdb]your distance. But not to worry, because I'll be the
[cdb]one to bring him to his knees.
I'm counting on that, Holst. Look alive, everyone!
The battle's about to start!
