0. The Sreng army aims to strike? But we just drove [cdb]them back a few months ago!
1. The last incursion involved only a portion of their [cdb]might. This may be the work of those who did not [cdb]take part in the previous attack.
2. Fortunately, it would seem their forces are few in [cdb]number. Even so, we can ill afford any interference [cdb]with the margrave's work.
3. It's been almost 14 years since King Lambert and I [cdb]fought the Sreng armies together.
4. They have always been a warlike people. If they've [cdb]learned that Faerghus is in crisis, they would jump at [cdb]the chance to take advantage of it.
5. So then the question is, who informed them of our [cdb]current difficulties?
6. Are you in here, boar? We've got a problem.
7. What is it, Felix?
8. The Federation army has invaded Fraldarius territory. They're marching westward as we speak.
9. The Federation? But how? I thought our eastern [cdb]border was sufficiently prepared!
10. They came by sea in giant ships and took over a port [cdb]town on our eastern shore.
11. Since when does Leicester have a navy capable of [cdb]transporting a full army?
12. That's what I'd like to know. But whatever the [cdb]answer, they're here now.
13. No matter how big the ships, there are always [cdb]limits to how large a seaborne invasion can be.
14. That's true, which means they'll want to avoid any [cdb]unnecessary conflict. I would expect them to march [cdb]directly west.
15. So they're going for the capital, then. We need to stop [cdb]them before they reach it.
16. A job for the Shield of Faerghus, if I've ever heard [cdb]one. I'll go home and get ready to intercept them.
17. Your Majesty, I ask that you permit me leave to do [cdb]the same. As the former lord of Fraldarius territory, I cannot turn a blind eye to these interlopers.
18. Understood. I will send you some of my personal [cdb]soldiers as reinforcements. Just promise me you'll [cdb]both come back alive.
