Imperial Army Camp (Mateus Territory)
link Ferdinand volume_up
The enemy commander, the former Duke Fraldarius, has been defeated.
link Ferdinand volume_up
Now Mateus territory and all the western lands of Faerghus will yield as one to the Empire.
link Ferdinand volume_up
Still, this battle came at a far greater cost than we are used to paying.
link Hubert volume_up
Sadly, General Randolph is not the first important commander we have lost.
link Hubert volume_up
However, we have never been forced to cope with so many dead and wounded.
link Hubert volume_up
This is the most dead and wounded we have ever faced in a battle. Not to mention the loss of General Randolph.
link Hubert volume_up
And yet, we might finally be rid of one of the greatest thorns in our collective side.
link Hubert volume_up
Eliminating Captain Jeralt was a masterstroke. If we are lucky, his band will fall apart without him.

Or it may throw them into a vengeful fury that makes them stronger and more united than ever.
link Monica volume_up
That's going to be a problem, especially with the Ashen Demon still roaming the land unchecked.
link Linhardt volume_up
An intriguing figure, that one—and a Crest-bearer for certain. We'd be smart to step lightly.
link Caspar volume_up
Guess that explains where all the awesome power is coming from.
link Dorothea volume_up
But the Ashen Demon doesn't strike me as nobility, and only nobles have Crests.
link Linhardt volume_up
I'd posit the man standing next to you doesn't exactly exude nobility either.
link Petra volume_up
The Demon's hair exhibits new color. It is like something from one of Brigid's old stories.
link Petra volume_up
"One will be chosen by the spirits and granted their protection. And with that protection, great power."
link Bernadetta volume_up
Can I just go on the record and say no to vengeance? I have zero interest in being revenged upon.
link Edelgard volume_up
That's the risk one takes when entering battle, Bernadetta.
link Edelgard volume_up
Sadly, you can't take up arms and not expect reprisal.
link Edelgard volume_up
We have no control over whether they come for us or not. We can only control what we do next.
link Bernadetta volume_up
No way! No one's making me take my medicine!
link Hubert volume_up
If you insist on continuing to interrupt Her Majesty, you will have far more immediate things to fear than an enemy's nebulous vengeance.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Eep!
link Monica volume_up
Come to think of it, has anyone seen our mercenary friend?
link Shez volume_up
I know what I told Fleche, but did I really do the right thing?
link Shez volume_up
I know what I told Fleche, but did I really do the right thing?
link Arval volume_up
Of course. You did what no one else could.
link Arval volume_up
The Ashen Demon may have escaped, but you got rid of their captain.
link Arval volume_up
There's no question you've grown—and next time, the Ashen Demon will fall.
link Shez volume_up
But so many people died—including Randolph.
link Shez volume_up
But so many people died—including Randolph.
link Arval volume_up
A price must always be paid for victory. And besides, Randolph is just one man.
link Shez volume_up
One man who was handpicked by Edelgard, just like me. One man who shared all of our struggles.
link Shez volume_up
One man who was handpicked by Edelgard, just like me. One man who shared all of our struggles.
link Shez volume_up
He was a good man and a fine ally, and now he's dead because of me.
link Shez volume_up
He was a good man and a fine ally, and now he's dead because of me.
link Arval volume_up
I had no idea you cared so much. All the more reason to finish what you started.
link Arval volume_up
You can still make this death mean something, and I can give you the strength to do so.
link Shez volume_up
I'll admit, we weren't close, but a comrade-in-arms is still a comrade.
link Shez volume_up
I'll admit, we weren't close, but a comrade-in-arms is still a comrade.
link Shez volume_up
If I hadn't messed it all up, he might still be alive.
link Shez volume_up
If I hadn't messed it all up, he might still be alive.
link Arval volume_up
Well, you can still make his death mean something, and I can give you the strength to do so.
link Arval volume_up
Now cheer up! Seeing you sad like this makes me...
link Shez volume_up
Makes you what?
link Shez volume_up
Makes you what?
link Arval volume_up
Yes, it makes me very...something. Tight in the chest? Anyway, stop frowning at me. I don't like it.
link Arval volume_up
No matter what anyone else tells you, I'm the closest ally you have.
link Arval volume_up
Remember, we're partners in destiny.
