And so, the Alliance has agreed to bring their troops to bear and attack the Kingdom from the east.
link Edelgard volume_up
At the same time, we will resume our invasion from the west using Arianrhod as a foothold.
link Edelgard volume_up
We'll subjugate the Kingdom's lords one by one as we work our way toward Blaiddyd.

News of the pact will doubtless have spread throughout the Kingdom by now.

Provided enough houses see the futility in fighting, we may be able to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.
link Hubert volume_up
However, that is likely wishful thinking. We should instead expect the worst and prepare accordingly.

You think? Some of them already bent the knee to us once, along with Count Rowe.

Wouldn't they jump at a chance to swap sides again?

An idea I am certain has already occurred to the king.

Lately, we have been scrambling to reorganize, dealing with an attack by the Knights of Seiros, and negotiating a pact with Leicester.
link Hubert volume_up
And during that time, the winds of purgation have swept across Faerghus.
link Hubert volume_up
In one fell swoop, the king has expunged most of the nobles likely to align with us.
link Caspar volume_up
Still, it's us and the Alliance against him, which means we've got the advantage.
link Caspar volume_up
What's there to worry about?
link Linhardt volume_up
The concern isn't that we'll lose—it's that winning might come at the cost of too many lives.
link Linhardt volume_up
What an utterly pointless, senseless thing to do... I find it all so very draining.
link Dorothea volume_up
Whatever our intent, we're the instigators here.
link Dorothea volume_up
We can't expect the enemy to do anything less than defend their land with tooth and claw.
link Linhardt volume_up
Speak for yourself. If someone invaded my territory, I'd hand over lands and titles on a silver platter— especially if I had no chance of winning.
link Ferdinand volume_up
There is truly no other noble like you, Linhardt— and perhaps no person at all, for that matter. Regardless, we must proceed with caution.
link Ferdinand volume_up
When people think someone is after what they possess, they respond with fear—even if the thought is all in their head.

In the eyes of the people of Faerghus, there is no limit to what evils the Empire might visit upon them.
link Bernadetta volume_up
My father started saying he can't sleep because he's scared the old church is coming to Garreg Mach to kill him.
link Bernadetta volume_up
From the sound of my mother's letters, he's really shaken up...
link Petra volume_up
Remember that the Kingdom has much coldness. We must not forget to be bundling up like people of the snow.
link Monica volume_up
Our Petra is always ready for what lies ahead.
link Petra volume_up
I wish I had better understanding of your Fódlan ways so I could be giving more assistance to everyone.
link Dorothea volume_up
Don't worry about it, Petra! With all the different factions in this thing, even we have a hard time keeping it straight.
link Dorothea volume_up
This all must seem so backward compared to the way things were in Brigid.
link Hubert volume_up
In any case, the battles ahead will be more brutal than any we have yet fought. Keep a vigilant eye out for both yourselves and each other.
link Hubert volume_up
That is all. Dismissed.
link Shez volume_up
Guess things aren't gonna be so easy anymore. We're under some real pressure to win.
