Kingdom Army Camp (Ochs Territory)

The general opposite us is a man by the name of Randolph. I hear tell he's related to the Empire's Count Bergliez.
link Dimitri volume_up
To complicate matters further, he's hired Jeralt's Mercenaries to assist in their fight.

Them again, huh? Can't say I'm surprised.

The Imperial army has gathered their forces in Hevring territory, with said mercenaries composing the core of their offense.
link Rodrigue volume_up
I expect they'll engage us in the woodlands—an ideal location for the guerilla warfare they specialize in.
link Felix volume_up
Then we'll have to look out for traps and ambushes as we advance. More than usual, that is.
link Rodrigue volume_up
They're placing a great deal of faith in Jeralt, trusting the front lines to his company.
link Dedue volume_up
Perhaps there are no other generals for them to rely on.
link Annette volume_up
This is our chance, then! We'll be in a great spot if we can land a decisive blow on the Empire.
link Sylvain volume_up
Absolutely. They're bound to start feeling the heat over in Enbarr once we get a solid foothold here in Hevring territory.
link Felix volume_up
A decisive victory here would set us up nicely for the coming battles.
link Rodrigue volume_up
And put pressure on their leaders over in Enbarr, while we're at it. A foothold in Hevring territory would be quite the get.
link Dimitri volume_up
Yes, and the enemy is surely well aware of that fact. No doubt that's precisely why Jeralt is among their ranks.
link Ingrid volume_up
He and his company are incredible fighters, but there's more to it than that. They also have immense discipline.
link Ingrid volume_up
As long as they can afford the cost, I can see why the Imperials would trust them over some of their less experienced generals.
link Mercedes volume_up
I didn't expect us to be facing them again so soon. We had best be ready.
link Mercedes volume_up
Though truly, I wish we could fight alongside them for once instead.
link Shez volume_up
We can't keep letting one mercenary mess with our whole army.

So just watch. I'm gonna take that monster out once and for all...or at least slow them down, if nothing else.

link Arval volume_up
That hesitance doesn't suit you, not anymore. You're far stronger than the last time your paths crossed.
link Arval volume_up
Just say the words, and I'll give you all the power I can muster. We will prevail.
link Shez volume_up
We should probably just steer clear of them entirely. There's no point throwing our lives away against an opponent we can't beat.

link Shez volume_up
All we've gotta do is take down their general, Randolph, and the mercenaries will scatter.

link Arval volume_up
Oh, come now. You're strong enough to defeat the Ashen Demon if you want—I know you are!
link Arval volume_up
But if this is how you'd like to handle it, I'll still be in your corner helping you every step of the way.
link Ingrid volume_up
Whatever we decide to do, we will need a sound strategy if we are going to win.
link Sylvain volume_up
A strategy, huh? Maybe something like a huge surprise attack on the Imperial positions?
link Rodrigue volume_up
A bold suggestion, Sylvain. You remind me of your father when he was young.
link Sylvain volume_up
I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a compliment, or what.
link Ashe volume_up
The margrave's been managing the conflict in the north for decades now, hasn't he?
link Ashe volume_up
I'd say it's a great honor to be compared to him.
link Rodrigue volume_up
Ah, such fine memories. All of his strategies seemed to involve sending me and Lambert off to thrust through the enemy lines on our own.
link Sylvain volume_up
Yeah, going straight to the suicide charge every time doesn't sound all that strategic to me.
link Dimitri volume_up
At any rate, I have full faith that our combined might will be up to the task at hand. We must succeed.

Hm?
