The Sreng army aims to strike? But we just drove them back a few months ago!

The last incursion involved only a portion of their might. This may be the work of those who did not take part in the previous attack.

Fortunately, it would seem their forces are few in number. Even so, we can ill afford any interference with the margrave's work.

It's been almost 14 years since King Lambert and I fought the Sreng armies together.
link Rodrigue volume_up
They have always been a warlike people. If they've learned that Faerghus is in crisis, they would jump at the chance to take advantage of it.

So then the question is, who informed them of our current difficulties?
link Felix volume_up
Are you in here, boar? We've got a problem.
link Dimitri volume_up
What is it, Felix?
link Felix volume_up
The Federation army has invaded Fraldarius territory. They're marching westward as we speak.
link Dimitri volume_up
The Federation? But how? I thought our eastern border was sufficiently prepared!
link Felix volume_up
They came by sea in giant ships and took over a port town on our eastern shore.

Since when does Leicester have a navy capable of transporting a full army?
link Felix volume_up
That's what I'd like to know. But whatever the answer, they're here now.
link Dimitri volume_up
No matter how big the ships, there are always limits to how large a seaborne invasion can be.
link Rodrigue volume_up
That's true, which means they'll want to avoid any unnecessary conflict. I would expect them to march directly west.
link Felix volume_up
So they're going for the capital, then. We need to stop them before they reach it.
link Felix volume_up
A job for the Shield of Faerghus, if I've ever heard one. I'll go home and get ready to intercept them.
link Rodrigue volume_up
Your Majesty, I ask that you permit me leave to do the same. As the former lord of Fraldarius territory, I cannot turn a blind eye to these interlopers.
link Dimitri volume_up
Understood. I will send you some of my personal soldiers as reinforcements. Just promise me you'll both come back alive.
