''In order to get some information from the resistance forces about the bandits on the Western Isles, Roy and company moved west along the coastline. Along the way, they came across a small village caught in constant conflict between the resistance group and the landowner trying to get rid of them.''
{{FanTranslation}}


==Introduction==


<u>'''''Chapter 10: Caught in the Middle'''''</u>
In order to speak to the resistance force about the bandits on the Isles, Roy and company move west along the coastline. Along the way, they come across a small village caught in conflict. The local lord oppresses the resistance and does anything he can to get rid of them...


(Inside the castle)
==Opening==


'''Zinc:''' Have you not found that bard of the resistance force?
(At the castle)


'''Soldier:''' We are still searching for him, my lord.
'''Zinque:''' Have you found that resistance bard yet?<br>
'''Soldier:''' We have a good lead, milord.<br>
'''Zinque:''' Out with it, then. Where is he?<br>
'''Soldier:''' He's apparently in hiding in the nearby village.<br>
'''Zinque:''' Removing Elffin the Bard will sever the head guiding the resistance force. Find him. Burn the village to the ground if you have to!<br>
'''Soldier:''' Yes, milord.


'''Zinc:''' And?
(The soldier leaves)


'''Soldier:''' It appears he has hidden himself in a village on the outskirts of the castle...
'''Zinque:''' I apologize for the wait, Madam Melady.<br>
'''Melady:''' You seem to have... a full plate.<br>
'''Zinque:''' Oh, worry not, our obligations to Bern take priority over all. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.<br>
'''Melady:''' Then let's get to the matter we discussed earlier...<br>
'''Zinque:''' Ah, the whereabouts of Princess Guinivere.<br>
'''Melady:''' Have you found anything, Lord Zinque?<br>
'''Zinque:''' I regret to say that I have not. Have you been to Juteaux?<br>
'''Melady:''' I have.<br>
'''Zinque:''' Then I suggest you pay a visit to Father Orlo. He resides in the castle at Eburacum to the north. He knows the region better than any of us, so he may have some idea. However, if even he does not know where Princess Guinivere might be, then she is most likely not in the Isles.<br>
'''Melady:''' Thank you. I will speak with Father Orlo then. Farewell.


'''Zinc:''' The resistance group is just another band without that Elphin supporting them with his brains. I don't care what happens to the village, just find him!
(Melady leaves)


'''Soldier:''' Yes, my lord.
(At Roy's camp)


(Soldier leaves)
'''Roy:''' The resistance is supposedly very active in this area.<br>
'''Merlinus:''' Yes, that's what our sources say. But I also hear that Etruria's military is hunting down members of the resistance. Their numbers have apparently dwindled.<br>
'''Roy:''' ...Etruria does nothing about bandits but oppresses the resistance? Something is very wrong with this picture...<br>
'''Merlinus:''' Indeed it is.<br>
'''Roy:''' Can we do anything to help the resistance?<br>
'''Merlinus:''' Our hands are tied... To do so would directly oppose Etruria's nobility. We are here under Etruria's orders, remember.<br>
'''Roy:''' I'll send a letter to General Cecilia and see what she has to say. Let's not do anything too rash just yet.<br>
'''Soldier:''' Lord Roy! Etrurian troops are attacking the village to find a member of the resistance force! They're under orders from Lord Zinque, the noble who controls this area.<br>
'''Merlinus:''' Oh no! ...But should we intervene?<br>
'''Roy:''' We haven't the time to await General Cecilia's reply... But I want to help the people. ...Even if it means opposing an Etrurian noble.<br>
'''Merlinus:''' Lord Roy...<br>
'''Roy:''' We fight! Our purpose is just! Make Lycia proud!


'''Zinc:''' Ah, I apologize for keeping you waiting, my lady.
(The battle begins)


'''Milady:''' You seemed... busy.
==In battle==


'''Zinc:''' Oh no, we prioritize allying with Bern above all things. So if you need anything...
===At the start of turn 1, enemy phase===


'''Milady:''' Then, as I asked earlier...
(Melady and Galle fly in from the northeast and into the north)


'''Zinc:''' Ah, the whereabouts of Princess Guinevere.
'''Galle:''' Were you able to ascertain Princess Guinivere's whereabouts?<br>
'''Melady:''' Unfortunately, no. But a bishop named Orlo in charge of the mines in the north may know.<br>
'''Galle:''' Very well. Then we head north.<br>
'''Melady:''' Galle... I'm sorry. King Zephiel wanted to keep the matter of Princess Guinivere a secret, so only I was assigned to search for her. I'm sorry to get you mixed up in this...<br>
'''Galle:''' Don't worry yourself.<br>
'''Melady:''' But you work directly under General Murdock. Surely you have other duties.<br>
'''Galle:''' General Murdock agreed to allow me to assist you. He thinks it's vital we find the princess and the Fire Emblem.<br>
'''Melady:''' ...Do you think Princess Guinivere has the Fire Emblem?<br>
'''Galle:''' That's what His Majesty the king thinks. And I think he's correct, all things considered.<br>
'''Melady:''' ......<br>
'''Galle:''' Come now, don't be like that... I'm sure Princess Guinivere went with good intentions. Let's hurry now.<br>
'''Melady:''' You're right...


'''Milady:''' Do you have any information, Lord Zinc?
(Melady and Galle leave the map through the northeast)


'''Zinc:''' I regret to say that I do not. You have already visited the capital at Djuto?
(In the northwest village)


'''Milady:''' Yes.
'''Elffin:''' ...Where... am I...?<br>
'''Mary:''' Are you awake?<br>
'''Elffin:''' ...What... happened...?<br>
'''Mary:''' We found you lying at the entrance to the village, covered in wounds. We took you home and have been taking care of you.<br>
'''Elffin:''' Thank you... But you are...?<br>
'''Mary:''' My name is Mary. I live in this village.<br>
'''Elffin:''' ...You live here... Oh no! My very presence endangers this village... ...It may even be too late...<br>
'''Mary:''' I'm sorry?<br>
'''Elffin:''' I am Elffin... One of the resistance force. The lord here is sure to send troops in to capture me.<br>
'''Mary:''' The resistance force...<br>
'''Elffin:''' Lady Mary, you should leave here. The village is in danger.<br>
'''Mary:''' ...No, I will stay.<br>
'''Elffin:''' ...Why?<br>
'''Mary:''' I have a younger brother, but he left with his friend next door to find work. I'm taking care of his friend's sister. I can't abandon her.<br>
'''Elffin:''' I understand... The most I can do to protect this village is leave. I thank you again for tending to my wounds. Please take care.<br>
'''Mary:''' Yes, you too.


'''Zinc:''' Then I suggest you pay a visit to Bishop Oro. He resides in the castle, overlooking Mt Ebrakhm to the north. He knows this region better than any of us, so I would believe he'd have some ideas. However, if even he does not know where Princess Guinevere is, then I would think she is not on these islands.
===At the start of turn 4, enemy phase===


'''Milady:''' I see. I will talk with Bishop Oro. Thank you for your time.
(At the castle)


(At the Lycian Army's side)
'''Zinque:''' What is going on out there? Why is it taking so long to find a single member of the resistance?!<br>
'''Soldier:''' It's the Lycian Army! They've joined the battle on behalf of the villagers...<br>
'''Zinque:''' The Lycian Army? They would betray Etruria?!<br>
'''Soldier:''' Also, milord, we have received a missive from Juteaux. The Lycian Army is suspected of working with the bandits. Lord Arcardo has given us orders to take them dead or alive.<br>
'''Zinque:''' The Lycian Army has ties with bandits? Hah! The irony! That fool only wants to save face...<br>
'''Soldier:''' Excuse me, milord?<br>
'''Zinque:''' This is not the mainland. The Isles are ruled by might.<br>
'''Soldier:''' I'm not quite sure I understand...<br>
'''Zinque:''' Pay it no mind. Was that all the message from Juteaux said?<br>
'''Soldier:''' There's more. Lord Arcardo has provided us with reinforcements.<br>
'''Zinque:''' What?!<br>
'''Soldier:''' They should arrive soon.<br>
'''Zinque:''' Confound it! We won't get credit for defeating Lycia if we're aided by reinforcements! We must wrap this up before they can join the fight... Ah, I've an idea! Get me Scollan!<br>
'''Soldier:''' Yes, milord.


'''Roy:''' The rebel group is supposed to be very active in these areas.
(The soldier leaves and Scollan appears)


'''Merlinus:''' Yes, according to our sources. But I also understand that earlier this week, the resistance group was hunted down by Etruria's military. I heard that they were devastated.
'''Scollan:''' You called, Lord Zinque?<br>
'''Zinque:''' Burn down the village. Kill any who resist.<br>
'''Scollan:''' ...Can we take the loot?<br>
'''Zinque:''' Do as you wish. Just do it quickly.<br>
'''Scollan:''' You can count on us, Lord Zinque. Heh heh heh...


'''Roy:''' ...The Etrurian government lets the bandits go and oppresses the resistance group who are trying to help the people. It doesn't look good...
===At the start of turn 6, enemy phase===


'''Merlinus:''' No, it does not.
(Scollan and his bandits, including Gonzalez, arrive from the northwest)


'''Roy:''' Could we do anything to help?
'''Scollan:''' Gonzalez! Where are you, Gonzalez?!<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' Here... I here...<br>
'''Scollan:''' There's a village to the south. With me so far?<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' With you so far.<br>
'''Scollan:''' Good. It might be a base for the resistance. Zinque says to burn it to the ground, village and all.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' Village and all...<br>
'''Scollan:''' Good, you understand. Now get goin'! Don't screw this one up, you dimwit.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' I... I...<br>
'''Scollan:''' You got a problem? Does your head hurt from thinking too much?<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' N-no...


'''Merlinus:''' That would be difficult... We would be going against Etruria's nobility. I don't think that would be a good idea when we are working under Etruria's orders.
(Gonzalez leaves)


'''Roy:''' I'll send a messenger to General Cecilia and see what she has to say. We probably shouldn't do anything too risky right now, but...
'''Scollan:''' Heh, he's ugly as sin, but he's got a heart of gold. There's nothin' wrong with tearin' down a few houses. Are we clear, wretches? No questions?<br>
'''Bandit:''' We got it, Boss!


(A soldier appears)
===At the start of turn 8, enemy phase===


'''Soldier:''' Master Roy! Lord Zinc who controls this area is sending out troops to attack the villages to find a member of the resistance forces!
(Klein and his soldiers arrive from the southeast alongside Thea)


'''Merlinus:''' What! ...Should we?
'''Klein:''' That's the Lycian Army...<br>
'''Thea:''' They were assigned to fight against the bandits...<br>
'''Klein:''' I know. But Lord Arcardo says they're allied with the bandits now. Why they're doing exactly the opposite of their assignment is beyond me...<br>
'''Thea:''' ......<br>
'''Klein:''' Thea, take your soldiers and attack from the north. I'll commence the attack from here.<br>
'''Thea:''' Yes, sir.<br>
'''Klein:''' Thea! Hold on.<br>
'''Thea:''' Yes, sir?<br>
'''Klein:''' I hear that you have siblings.<br>
'''Thea:''' Yes, sir, I have two sisters. One older, one younger.<br>
'''Klein:''' Are they pegasus knights like you?<br>
'''Thea:''' They are, actually. Why do you ask?<br>
'''Klein:''' I have a younger sister myself...<br>
'''Thea:''' Any sister of yours must be enchanting.<br>
'''Klein:''' Yes, she is a sight. I heard, however, she got tangled up in some mess and now she's missing...<br>
'''Thea:''' What? Oh my...<br>
'''Klein:''' I have some people looking into it, but they've yet to find anything. If I didn't have this mission, I would search for her myself...<br>
'''Thea:''' ......<br>
'''Klein:''' Thea, be careful out there. For your family's sake.<br>
'''Thea:''' Yes, sir. Thank you.


'''Roy:''' We don't have time to wait for General Cecilia's reply... But I want to help the people. ...Even if it means going against Etruria's orders.
(Thea leaves the map through the southwest)


'''Merlinus:''' Master Roy...
'''Klein:''' Ready then? Let's move.<br>
'''Soldier:''' Sir, are you sure?<br>
'''Klein:''' Of what?<br>
'''Soldier:''' Lord Arcardo said Ilia's pegasus knights are expendable. They should be fighting on the front line, not us. Surely the lives of us Etrurian soldiers are more valuable.<br>
'''Klein:''' Don't be ridiculous. They are reliable companions. We will attack at the same time... or before them, if need be. Understood?<br>
'''Soldier:''' Yes, sir.<br>
'''Klein:''' ...Lord Arcardo's story is curious, though... The army from Lycia only arrived very recently. How could they create ties with the bandits so quickly...?


'''Roy:''' Let's fight! So we can be proud when we return to Lycia!
===At the start of turn 9, enemy phase===


(Turn 1 begins)
(At the castle)


(After Turn 1, a wyvern knight leaves the castle and joins another who is waiting in the mountains)
'''Soldier:''' Lord Zinque, reinforcements from Juteaux should arrive shortly.<br>
'''Zinque:''' Blast! We have enough problems as it is... The last thing I need is reinforcements stealing the credit!


'''Galle:''' Well, were you able to find out where Princess Guinevere is?
===At the start of turn 10, enemy phase===


'''Milady:''' No. But I heard a bishop named Oro in charge of the mines in the north might know.
(Thea and her pegasus knights arrive from the north)


'''Galle:''' All right, then let's head north.
'''Thea:''' Are you ready? We move southward!<br>
'''Pegasus Knight:''' Captain... Are you sure we'll be all right?<br>
'''Thea:''' Is something wrong?<br>
'''Pegasus Knight:''' The Etrurian army considers us disposable. They may send us to our doom...<br>
'''Thea:''' Where did you hear that?<br>
'''Pegasus Knight:''' One of the other riders was told so by someone in the Etrurian army.<br>
'''Thea:''' Pay no mind to mere rumors.<br>
'''Pegasus Knight:''' But...<br>
'''Thea:''' I'm certain Commander Klein would never approve of that.<br>
'''Pegasus Knight:''' Do you really think so?<br>
'''Thea:''' Commander Klein's not like that. I trust him with my life.<br>
'''Pegasus Knight:''' ...Very well. Then we'll trust him as well, for we trust you, Captain.<br>
'''Thea:''' Good. Let's go!


'''Milady:''' Galle...I'm sorry. King Zephiel wanted to keep the case on Princess Guinevere in secrecy, so he only assigned my group to look for her. I'm sorry I got you mixed up into this...
===Talk conversations===


'''Galle:''' You shouldn't worry yourself over things like that.
====Lilina talks to Gonzalez====


'''Milady:''' But you're one of the captains working directly under General Murdock.
'''Lilina:''' Excuse me!<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' W-what you doing?! I am enemy!<br>
'''Lilina:''' I know... But there's such a look of sorrow in your eyes.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' ...There is village near mountain. You know?<br>
'''Lilina:''' Yes, I know it.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' Tell people escape. I have order. Destroy village. I...<br>
'''Lilina:''' What? Don't! The villagers are innocent...<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' No. It order. I must.<br>
'''Lilina:''' It sounds to me like you should leave the person who gave you that order.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' Leave?<br>
'''Lilina:''' Yes! You can fight with us. We're protecting the villagers.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' ...No... I monster... People mean to me... People throw stones... People say, "Go away!"... "You a monster!"... Not human...<br>
'''Lilina:''' That's horrible! Of course you're human! You're a very kind-hearted man. I can tell. Please, come with us. Don't be afraid.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' Me afraid? I never afraid! Everyone afraid of ME! I not afraid!<br>
'''Lilina:''' No. You ARE afraid. You're afraid that people will throw stones and call you a monster.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' ......<br>
'''Lilina:''' But you don't have to be afraid of us. Everyone in our army is nice. They won't do that to you. Be brave... Take that first step, and you'll never have to be afraid again.<br>
'''Gonzalez:''' ......


'''Galle:''' General Murdock has agreed to my helping you out. In fact, he wants me to find out the location of the princess and the Fire Emblem.
(Gonzalez joins the army)


'''Milady:''' ...Do you think that Princess Guinevere has the Fire Emblem?
====Shanna talks to Thea before Klein is recruited====


'''Galle:''' Well, that's what the royalty thinks. And I think they're correct, looking at the situation.
'''Shanna:''' Th-Thea! Sister!<br>
'''Thea:''' Shanna...?<br>
'''Shanna:''' What are you doing here?<br>
'''Thea:''' ...I have a contract with Commander Klein of Etruria. Shanna... Are you with the Lycian Army?<br>
'''Shanna:''' Yes.<br>
'''Thea:''' I see... Then this was inevitable. Draw your lance!<br>
'''Shanna:''' No... I don't want to fight you!<br>
'''Thea:''' ...Shanna, you know the code of the Ilian mercenaries.<br>
'''Shanna:''' ...Never betray your employer...<br>
'''Thea:''' Precisely. And we must follow that code, even if it means we must fight our own kin.<br>
'''Shanna:''' But... one of us could be killed!<br>
'''Thea:''' I know that! But we must fight! Failing to do so would damage the reputation of the Ilian mercenaries. Our nation can't afford to lose its mercenary contracts!<br>
'''Shanna:''' Thea...<br>
'''Thea:''' Now, draw your lance, Shanna!


'''Milady:''' ......
(Shanna leaves)


'''Galle:''' Come on, don't look like that... Probably, Princess Guinevere has a plan of some sort. Come, let's go.
'''Thea:''' ...Why... Why does it have to be like this...?


'''Milady:''' Yes...
====Shanna talks to Thea after Klein is recruited====


(The two wyvern knights leave the map)
(If this is the first time she is talking to Thea)


(Before Turn 2 properly begins, in one of the northwestern villages)
'''Shanna:''' T-Thea! Sister!<br>
'''Thea:''' Shanna...?<br>
'''Shanna:''' What are you doing here?<br>
'''Thea:''' ...I have a contract with Commander Klein of Etruria. Shanna... Are you with the Lycian Army?<br>
'''Shanna:''' Yes.<br>
'''Thea:''' I see... Then this was inevitable. Draw your lance!<br>
'''Shanna:''' No, Commander Klein said he would join us! We don't have to fight!<br>
'''Thea:''' What? Really?<br>
'''Shanna:''' Yes!<br>
'''Thea:''' ...That's a relief. I will join you as well.<br>
'''Shanna:''' Thanks, Sister!


'''Elphin:''' ...Where...am I...?
(Thea and her soldiers become allied units)


'''Mary:''' Are you awake?
(If this is the second time she is talking to Thea)


'''Elphin:''' ...What...happened... to me...
'''Shanna:''' Thea!<br>
'''Thea:''' Shanna... Are you prepared to fight?<br>
'''Shanna:''' No! We don't have to fight!<br>
'''Thea:''' Of course we do. Must I repeat myself--<br>
'''Shanna:''' Commander Klein said he would join us! We don't have to fight!<br>
'''Thea:''' What? Really...? You're... telling the truth?<br>
'''Shanna:''' Yes! To fight me would be breaking the code!<br>
'''Thea:''' ......<br>
'''Shanna:''' ...Thea?<br>
'''Thea:''' ...I'm so relieved...<br>
'''Shanna:''' Thea...<br>
'''Thea:''' Thank goodness... I was so scared...<br>
'''Shanna:''' We'll always be together, Sister...


'''Mary:''' We found you yesterday lying at the entrance of the village, all bruised and blood-spattered. So we brought you home and treated your wounds.
(Thea joins the army and her soldiers become allied units)


'''Elphin:''' And you are...?
====Clarine talks to Klein====


'''Mary:''' I'm Mary. I live here.
'''Clarine:''' Klein!<br>
'''Klein:''' Clarine? You are safe!<br>
'''Clarine:''' I'm sorry I left like I did. But I wanted so badly to see you!<br>
'''Klein:''' Oh, the trouble you get into... Well, you're safe, and what's what matters. ...What brings you out here? Did you find a trustworthy mercenary for hire?<br>
'''Clarine:''' No, I joined the Lycian Army.<br>
'''Klein:''' The Lycian Army?!<br>
'''Clarine:''' Yes! My healing staves have been most useful!<br>
'''Klein:''' ...I see. I thought your eyes looked... sharper.<br>
'''Clarine:''' I'm a lady now, I am.<br>
'''Klein:''' ...Let me ask you this. What kind of individual is General Roy?<br>
'''Clarine:''' Hmm... He's a tad rough around the edges for a noble... His hair especially is an absolute mess...<br>
'''Klein:''' ...Let me rephrase that. Is General Roy working with the bandits?<br>
'''Clarine:''' No, of course not! We've been sent here to vanquish the bandits!<br>
'''Klein:''' So I heard...<br>
'''Clarine:''' The Etrurians here are malicious people... It is so embarrassing... Klein... Are you working for them?<br>
'''Klein:''' No. Not anymore.<br>
'''Clarine:''' What?<br>
'''Klein:''' I want sent here to protect the villagers. I hereby join the Lycian Army to fulfill my mission.<br>
'''Clarine:''' Thank you, Klein!<br>
'''Klein:''' Shall we, then? Will you introduce me to General Roy?<br>
'''Clarine:''' Naturally! I love you, Klein.


'''Elphin:''' ...Live here...? No! This village will be endangered if I stay here... Or maybe it's too late if it's already been one day...
(Klein joins the army and his soldiers become allied units)


'''Mary:''' ?
====Roy talks to Klein====


'''Elphin:''' I am Elphin...one of the resistance group. The landowner is sure to send troops here to capture me.
'''Roy:''' Wait! Aren't you an Etrurian commander? Why are you attacking us?!<br>
'''Klein:''' I have specific orders from Lord Arcardo to take you down.<br>
'''Roy:''' Can't you see what's happening here? The people are suffering from the lords' abusive treatment! And you're helping them. You should be ashamed!<br>
'''Klein:''' ...Wait. Are you saying that you're helping the villagers?<br>
'''Roy:''' Yes. The lord here is ransacking the village in search of the resistance. We're fighting to stop him. And you're apparently on his side.<br>
'''Klein:''' I had no such intention. My orders stated that you were the ones working with the bandits.<br>
'''Roy:''' What?! Why would we be working with bandits? We just want to clean things up here and get home to Lycia!<br>
'''Klein:''' ...Such nerve.<br>
'''Roy:''' What?!<br>
'''Klein:''' Lord Arcardo has made a fool of me. I have been so blind enough not to see through his thin veil of deceit.<br>
'''Roy:''' ...Do you see what we see now?<br>
'''Klein:''' I am Klein of House Reglay of Etruria. Forgive me for my misguided attack against you.<br>
'''Roy:''' I am General Roy of the Lycian Army.<br>
'''Klein:''' General Roy, I would advise you to be cautious. With you against Lord Arcardo, I expect him to use every pawn at his disposal to have you dealt with.<br>
'''Roy:''' Thank you for the advice...<br>
'''Klein:''' If you would allow it, I will join you.<br>
'''Roy:''' You will?<br>
'''Klein:''' Yes. I wish to monitor you as an Etrurian commander. I should prove useful as both a fighter and a diplomat.<br>
'''Roy:''' Thank you.


'''Mary:''' The resistance group...
(Klein joins the army and his soldiers become allied units)


'''Elphin:''' Miss Mary, you should run from here. This village is in danger.
====Klein talks to Thea====


'''Mary:''' ...No, I will stay.
'''Klein:''' Thea!<br>
'''Thea:''' Commander Klein! What is the matter?<br>
'''Klein:''' There's been a change of plans. We are going to fight under General Roy of the Lycian Army.<br>
'''Thea:''' Understood, sir. We shall follow you without question.<br>
'''Klein:''' I don't mind a question here or there, to be frank.<br>
'''Thea:''' We are Ilian mercenaries, sir. We follow our employer's every order. And besides...<br>
'''Klein:''' Yes?<br>
'''Thea:''' I trust you to make proper judgments.<br>
'''Klein:''' Thank you, Thea.


'''Elphin:''' ...Why?
(Thea joins the army and her soldiers become allied units)


'''Mary:''' I have a younger brother. Right now he's gone out to look for work with his friend from next door. His friend asked me to take care of his younger sister while they're gone.
===Houses/villages===


'''Elphin:''' I see... Then all I can do to protect this village is to leave. Thank you very much for healing my wounds. ...Please take care.
====The southwestern village====


'''Mary:''' Yes, you take care too...
'''Middle-Aged Female Villager:''' I wonder how Mary's doing... Her brother and his friend are both traveling, trying to make money. It's too dangerous to go outside now... Can you go check on her? Here, I'll give you this for your trouble...


(After Turn 4, in the castle)
(Barrier)


==Conversations==
====The western village====
===Lilina and Gonzalez===
===Roy and Klein===
===Clarine and Klein===
'''Clarine:''' Klein!


'''Klein:''' Clarine? You were safe? Thank goodness...
'''Middle-Aged Male Villager:''' Ah, our heroes! I thank you on behalf of the village. This is made from the scale of a dragon. It's said it will protect the one who uses it from harm. Please, take it.


'''Clarine:''' I'm sorry I left without telling you. But I wanted to see you so badly!
(Dragonshield)


'''Klein:''' The things you would do... Well, you're safe, and that's what matters. ...And what brings you out here? Did you find someone trustworthy to hire?
====The left northwestern village====


'''Clarine:''' No, I joined the Lycia Alliance Army and am fighting alongside them.
(If visited by someone other than Lot or Ward)


'''Klein:''' The Lycia Alliance Army?!
'''Mieu:''' Lot? ...Oh. I'm sorry... Take this.


'''Clarine:''' Yes! My healing staves have been very useful!
(Elixir)


'''Klein:''' ... I see. I thought your eyes looked... sharper.
(If visited by Lot)


'''Clarine:''' I'm now a lady, I am.  
'''Mieu:''' Brother! You're home!<br>
'''Lot:''' Mieu! Have you been a good girl?<br>
'''Mieu:''' Yes, I was good! I didn't even wet my bed!<br>
'''Lot:''' That's my girl.<br>
'''Mieu:''' Lot... While you were away, Mother...<br>
'''Lot:''' Yeah, I know... She went to sleep...<br>
'''Mieu:''' Here... Mother left this for you. She said you might find a use for it.<br>
'''Lot:''' ......<br>
'''Mieu:''' Brother... You won't leave me, will you? You won't go to sleep like Mother...?<br>
'''Lot:''' Of course not! In fact, next time you see me I'll have a whole wagon of presents. Just listen to Mary and stay good, all right?<br>
'''Mieu:''' OK!<br>
'''Lot:''' Go hide in the hills with Mary. It's dangerous here.<br>
'''Mieu:''' I will... And Lot?<br>
'''Lot:''' Yeah?<br>
'''Mieu:''' You promised! Don't leave me!<br>
'''Lot:''' I won't...


'''Klein:''' ...Let me ask you this. What kind of individual is General Roy?
(Mieu leaves)


'''Clarine:''' Hmm... He lacks a little finesse for a noble... I especially think he has to take care of his hair a little more..
'''Lot:''' At least, I hope I won't...


'''Klein:''' ...Let me rephrase the question. Is General Roy working with the bandits and attacking the people here?
(Speedwings)


'''Clarine:''' No, of course not! We are here to defeat the bandits!
(If visited by Ward)


'''Klein:''' I see...
'''Mieu:''' It's Ward!<br>
'''Ward:''' Hey, Mieu! ...Come on, can't you call me UNCLE Ward?<br>
'''Mieu:''' But... you're just Ward.<br>
'''Ward:''' Ah, never mind. You look like you've gotten bigger.<br>
'''Mieu:''' Yeah!<br>
'''Ward:''' ...It's dangerous here. Go hide in the hills.<br>
'''Mieu:''' ...Alone?<br>
'''Ward:''' My sister's still here, right? She'll take you.<br>
'''Mieu:''' Yeah, Auntie Mary's here.<br>
'''Ward:''' So she's Auntie Mary but I'm just Ward, huh?<br>
'''Mieu:''' Oh. Here you go.<br>
'''Ward:''' What's this? A wing?<br>
'''Mieu:''' It'll make you like a bird!<br>
'''Ward:''' Like a bird? What's that mean?<br>
'''Mieu:''' Like a bird. You know.<br>
'''Ward:''' No, I don't know. But, uh, anyway, this is for me?<br>
'''Mieu:''' No, it's for Big Brother Lot.<br>
'''Ward:''' And Lot is Big Brother Lot... Have you got it out for me?<br>
'''Mieu:''' Ha ha ha! I'll go see Mary. Here's the wing. Give it to Lot, OK, Uncle Ward?


'''Clarine:''' The Etrurians here are evil and malicious people... It is so embarrassing. Klein... Are you working for them?
(Mieu leaves)


'''Klein:''' No. At least not now, after I heard your story.  
'''Ward:''' And NOW she calls me Uncle... Whoa, are you OK?! Don't trip...


'''Clarine:''' What?
(Speedwings)


'''Klein:''' I was sent here to protect the villagers. To fulfill my mission, I hereby join the Lycia Alliance Army.
====The right northwestern village====


'''Clarine:''' Klein!
(If visited by someone other than Lot or Ward)


'''Klein:''' Then let's go, shall we? Will you introduce me to General Roy?  
'''Mary:''' Have you seen my brother? His name is Ward, and he's a mercenary... Have you at least heard of him? Well, take this for your trouble.


'''Clarine:''' Of course! I love you, Klein.
(Door Key)


===Thany and Thite===
(If visited by Ward)
(Before recruiting Klein)


'''Thany:''' B-Big Sister!  
'''Mary:''' Ward!<br>
'''Ward:''' Mary! It's good to see you.<br>
'''Mary:''' You've returned?<br>
'''Ward:''' Well, not exactly... We're here on a mission...<br>
'''Mary:''' ...You're never coming back, are you?<br>
'''Ward:''' No! Of course I will! ...Just not yet. Just you wait. When I come back I'll have more money than I can carry. Then all our problems will be a thing of the past.<br>
'''Mary:''' I don't care about that... I just want you safe.<br>
'''Ward:''' Sis...<br>
'''Mary:''' I know how brash and hotheaded you can be, but always remember... There are people who care about you.<br>
'''Ward:''' ......<br>
'''Mary:''' Here, take this.<br>
'''Ward:''' What is it?<br>
'''Mary:''' It's a special weapon. I nursed a traveler back to health, and he left it in return. You can use it, can't you?<br>
'''Ward:''' Thanks, Sis! I've gotta go now.<br>
'''Mary:''' Just be careful...


'''Thite:''' Thany...?
(Swordreaver)


'''Thany:''' What are you doing here?
(If visited by Lot)
 
'''Thite:''' ...I have a contract with General Klein of Etruria. Thany... Are you with the Alliance Army?
 
'''Thany:''' Yeah.
 
'''Thite:''' I see... Then there's only thing to do. Draw your spear!
 
'''Thany:''' No, General Klein said he would join us! We don't have to fight!
 
'''Thite:''' What? Really?
 
'''Thany:''' Yeah.
 
'''Thite:''' ...All right. I'll join you as well.
 
'''Thany:''' Thanks, big sister!
 
(Thite and her soldiers become NPCs)
 
(After recruiting Klein)
 
===Klein and Thite===
===Wade and Mary===
'''Mary:''' Wade!
 
'''Wade:''' Sis! It's good to see you.
 
'''Mary:''' You've returned?
 
'''Wade:''' Well not really... We just came here on a mission...
 
'''Mary:''' ...You're not going to come back anymore?
 
'''Wade:''' No! That's not the case! ... But I'm not ready to return yet. Just wait, I'll come back with lots of money so we can live an easier life.
 
'''Mary:''' I don't care about that... I just want you to be safe.
 
'''Wade:''' Sis...
 
'''Mary:''' I know it's pointless to tell you to be careful with that personality of yours... but just remember that there are people worried for you. Okay?
 
'''Wade:''' ......
 
'''Mary:''' Here, take this.
 
'''Wade:''' What's this?
 
'''Mary:''' It's a special weapon. I treated the wounds of a traveler a while back, and he left it in return. You can use it, can't you?
 
'''Wade:''' Thanks, sis! I'll be going.


'''Lot:''' Mary...<br>
'''Mary:''' Lot! You've returned?<br>
'''Lot:''' No... We just happened to be nearby.<br>
'''Mary:''' Oh... Mieu won't be happy about that.<br>
'''Lot:''' I've made you take care of Mieu ever since our mother died. I'm sorry to force that burden on you.<br>
'''Mary:''' It's not your fault...<br>
'''Lot:''' Someday... I swear... I swear I'll return. ...Can I leave Mieu to you until then?<br>
'''Mary:''' ...You swear it?<br>
'''Lot:''' ...Yes.<br>
'''Mary:''' Don't lie like that... This is war. You don't know if you'll come back.<br>
'''Lot:''' ......<br>
'''Mary:''' But I'll be waiting... Until eternity.<br>
'''Lot:''' I'm sorry.<br>
'''Mary:''' Oh, you should take this.<br>
'''Lot:''' What is it?<br>
'''Mary:''' It's a special weapon. It will help you keep your promise.<br>
'''Lot:''' I appreciate it. Now... I must be off again.<br>
'''Mary:''' Be careful...
'''Mary:''' Be careful...


===Wade and Myu===
(Swordreaver)
'''Myu:''' It's Wade!
 
'''Wade:''' Hey, Myu, how have you been doing? ...Come on, can't you at least say 'big brother Ward' instead of just Wade?
 
'''Myu:''' But... Wade is Wade.


'''Wade:''' Ah, never mind. You look like you've been okay.
====The northeastern village====


'''Myu:''' Yes!
'''Young Male Villager:''' ...The resistance suffered a crippling defeat here. Here, take this. I'm going to look for other survivors. There is still hope if we can find our leader.


'''Wade:''' ... Anyway, it's dangerous here. Go hide in the hills or something.
(Sleep)


'''Myu:''' ...Alone?
====The eastern village====


'''Wade:''' Sis is still here, right? She'll take you.  
'''Young Male Villager:''' I hate the resistance! We civilians have to deal with the consequences of their actions. You know we stand no chance if we try to stand up to our lord. We just want to lead a normal life. Oh... I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated. I have no useful skills so I can't help you... but take this...


'''Myu:''' Yeah, big sister Mary's here too.
(Orion's Bolt)


'''Wade:''' You call sis 'big sister' and me just 'Wade', huh?
====The southeastern village====


'''Myu:''' Oh. Here.  
'''Elderly Male Villager:''' A few months ago, my granddaughter went missing. We all searched in the mountains and found her. She was with a hulking monster of a man, so we threw stones at him to drive him off... Afterwards my granddaughter told me that he was the one who led her to the village. ...If you ever find that man, would you give him this? It's a special axe that's effective against swords. And... tell him I'm sorry.


'''Wade:''' What's this? A feather?
(Swordreaver)


'''Myu:''' It makes you like a bird!
===Battle quotes===


'''Wade:''' Like a bird? What's that supposed to mean?
====Zinque enters combat====


'''Myu:''' Like a bird is like a bird.  
'''Zinque:''' The people are suffering...? What concern is that to me? They live to serve me. Their wails are meaningless.


'''Wade:''' ??? Uh, anyway, you're giving this to me?
====Zinque dies====


'''Myu:''' No. It's for my big brother Lot.
'''Zinque:''' This is my land... Mine alone... None... shall...


'''Wade:''' Even he's not just 'Lot'...
==Ending==


'''Myu:''' Hahaha... I'll go see Mary. Here's the feather. Give it to Lot, okay, big brother Wade?  
'''Merlinus:''' Lord Roy, there is a young man claiming to be with the resistance here.<br>
'''Roy:''' I'll see him. Let him pass.<br>
'''Elffin:''' I am pleased to meet you. My name is Elffin. I am a member of the resistance force.<br>
'''Roy:''' I am Roy of the Lycian Army.<br>
'''Elffin:''' You have my thanks for saving the village here.<br>
'''Roy:''' We simply did what we believe is right.<br>
'''Elffin:''' But now you stand against Etruria.<br>
'''Roy:''' Even so, I have no regrets. We may have opposed Etruria's immediate interests, but once the truth about the Isles is out, I'm certain they will understand. I sent a letter to a trustworthy Etrurian noble. If she takes appropriate measures, they will send us aid.<br>
'''Elffin:''' I would not be so sure...<br>
'''Roy:''' Why is that?<br>
'''Elffin:''' Don't you find it odd that Etruria requested your help here at all?<br>
'''Roy:''' Actually... yes, I do.<br>
'''Elffin:''' If I may be so bold as to guess... Was it High Chancellor Roartz and Lord Arcardo who requested your help?<br>
'''Roy:''' ...It was.<br>
'''Elffin:''' There may have been ulterior motives for sending your army away. Perhaps your presence in Lycia was undesirable to them.<br>
'''Roy:''' I never even considered that...<br>
'''Elffin:''' There are rumors... that Roartz and Arcardo are working with Bern.<br>
'''Roy:''' What?! Then Lycia is in danger!<br>
'''Merlinus:''' L-Lord Roy!<br>
'''Elffin:''' Your country may be in peril. Are you free to waste your time on the Isles as you are?<br>
'''Merlinus:''' He's right! Bern wanted us out of Lycia so they could launch an invasion! We must head back at once!<br>
'''Roy:''' ...We stay here.<br>
'''Merlinus:''' What?! Why?!<br>
'''Elffin:''' ......<br>
'''Roy:''' It's difficult to judge what may be hearsay and what may be truth. We can't simply jump on this rumor and run back to Lycia. I am certainly concerned, but my father and General Cecilia are there. The people on the Isles have only us to rely on.<br>
'''Merlinus:''' That may be, but...<br>
'''Roy:''' If we leave without finishing our mission, then all we've done here was for naught.<br>
'''Elffin:''' ...Your army is blessed with a levelheaded leader.<br>
'''Roy:''' What?<br>
'''Elffin:''' Lord Roy, I am sorry for testing you so.<br>
'''Merlinus:''' Testing us? So that was a lie?!<br>
'''Elffin:''' It was the truth. However, I presented the rumor in a way that you might take rash action. Your leader is a prudent individual. I would join you if you allow it.<br>
'''Roy:''' ...I don't like that you tested us. But if you can help, I welcome you. Now, back to the concern we face here. What can we do to help the people of the Isles?<br>
'''Elffin:''' You should head south... towards Caldonia.<br>
'''Roy:''' Why?<br>
'''Elffin:''' Castle Eidyna is located there. It is where workers are kept before they are sent to Eburacum.<br>
'''Roy:''' Then we must save the people there!<br>
'''Elffin:''' Lord Roy, please take this sword.<br>
'''Roy:''' What is this?<br>
'''Elffin:''' It is called a wyrmslayer. It was created during the Scouring to use against dragons. It is effective against wyverns as well.<br>
'''Roy:''' Wyrmslayer? Is this a legendary weapon?<br>
'''Elffin:''' No. Legendary weapons can only be used by those whose skill rivals the Eight Legends. This weapon, however, can be wielded by anyone with experience in swordplay.


'''Wade:''' She sure can change her tune quickly... Woah be careful! Don't trip...
(Wyrmslayer)

(If all villages were visited)


===Lot and Mary===
'''Mary:''' Are you the leader of this army?<br>
'''Lot:''' Mary...
'''Roy:''' Yes, I am.<br>
'''Mary:''' I wish to thank you for protecting our village.<br>
'''Roy:''' There is no thanks necessary... We did what we believe is right.<br>
'''Mary:''' Regardless, I want you to have this as a token of our gratitude.


'''Mary:''' Lot! You've returned?
(Hero Crest)


'''Lot:''' No... We just stopped by on a mission.
(If Klein and all his soldiers survived)


'''Mary:''' Oh... Myu will be sad.  
'''Soldier:''' Commander Klein, we will stay and help with reconstruction as directed.<br>
 
'''Klein:''' Good. These people need you.<br>
'''Lot:''' Ever since mother died, I've been making you take care of Myu. I'm sorry.  
'''Soldier:''' Would that we could fight at your side. Here is the bolt we were holding for you. You may need it more than we do. Farewell and good luck, Commander Klein.<br>
 
'''Klein:''' Thank you. Good luck to you as well.
'''Mary:''' No... don't be...
 
'''Lot:''' Someday...
 
'''Mary:''' !
 
'''Lot:''' Someday I'll return. ...Can I leave Myu to you until then?
 
'''Mary:''' ...Can you promise?
 
'''Lot:''' ... Yes.
 
'''Mary:''' Don't lie... You're going to war. There's no saying you'll return.
 
'''Lot:''' ......
 
'''Mary:''' But I'll be waiting. Without false hope...
 
'''Lot:''' I'm sorry.
 
'''Mary:''' Oh, take this.  
 
'''Lot:''' What?
 
'''Mary:''' It's a magic weapon that will help you keep your promise.  
 
'''Lot:''' Thank you, I appreciate it. Well then... I must be off.
 
'''Mary:''' Be careful...


(Swordreaver received!)

==Against Zinc==
'''Pegasus Knight:''' Captain! We will return to Ilia to make our report.<br>
==Houses and villages==

'''Thea:''' Thank you. You too.

The following text is an unofficial translation by fans. There may be stylistic differences with official sources and other unofficial translations.

Introduction

In order to speak to the resistance force about the bandits on the Isles, Roy and company move west along the coastline. Along the way, they come across a small village caught in conflict. The local lord oppresses the resistance and does anything he can to get rid of them...

Opening

(At the castle)

Zinque: Have you found that resistance bard yet?
Soldier: We have a good lead, milord.
Zinque: Out with it, then. Where is he?
Soldier: He's apparently in hiding in the nearby village.
Zinque: Removing Elffin the Bard will sever the head guiding the resistance force. Find him. Burn the village to the ground if you have to!
Soldier: Yes, milord.

(The soldier leaves)

Zinque: I apologize for the wait, Madam Melady.
Melady: You seem to have... a full plate.
Zinque: Oh, worry not, our obligations to Bern take priority over all. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.
Melady: Then let's get to the matter we discussed earlier...
Zinque: Ah, the whereabouts of Princess Guinivere.
Melady: Have you found anything, Lord Zinque?
Zinque: I regret to say that I have not. Have you been to Juteaux?
Melady: I have.
Zinque: Then I suggest you pay a visit to Father Orlo. He resides in the castle at Eburacum to the north. He knows the region better than any of us, so he may have some idea. However, if even he does not know where Princess Guinivere might be, then she is most likely not in the Isles.
Melady: Thank you. I will speak with Father Orlo then. Farewell.

(Melady leaves)

(At Roy's camp)

Roy: The resistance is supposedly very active in this area.
Merlinus: Yes, that's what our sources say. But I also hear that Etruria's military is hunting down members of the resistance. Their numbers have apparently dwindled.
Roy: ...Etruria does nothing about bandits but oppresses the resistance? Something is very wrong with this picture...
Merlinus: Indeed it is.
Roy: Can we do anything to help the resistance?
Merlinus: Our hands are tied... To do so would directly oppose Etruria's nobility. We are here under Etruria's orders, remember.
Roy: I'll send a letter to General Cecilia and see what she has to say. Let's not do anything too rash just yet.
Soldier: Lord Roy! Etrurian troops are attacking the village to find a member of the resistance force! They're under orders from Lord Zinque, the noble who controls this area.
Merlinus: Oh no! ...But should we intervene?
Roy: We haven't the time to await General Cecilia's reply... But I want to help the people. ...Even if it means opposing an Etrurian noble.
Merlinus: Lord Roy...
Roy: We fight! Our purpose is just! Make Lycia proud!

(The battle begins)

In battle

At the start of turn 1, enemy phase

(Melady and Galle fly in from the northeast and into the north)

Galle: Were you able to ascertain Princess Guinivere's whereabouts?
Melady: Unfortunately, no. But a bishop named Orlo in charge of the mines in the north may know.
Galle: Very well. Then we head north.
Melady: Galle... I'm sorry. King Zephiel wanted to keep the matter of Princess Guinivere a secret, so only I was assigned to search for her. I'm sorry to get you mixed up in this...
Galle: Don't worry yourself.
Melady: But you work directly under General Murdock. Surely you have other duties.
Galle: General Murdock agreed to allow me to assist you. He thinks it's vital we find the princess and the Fire Emblem.
Melady: ...Do you think Princess Guinivere has the Fire Emblem?
Galle: That's what His Majesty the king thinks. And I think he's correct, all things considered.
Melady: ......
Galle: Come now, don't be like that... I'm sure Princess Guinivere went with good intentions. Let's hurry now.
Melady: You're right...

(Melady and Galle leave the map through the northeast)

(In the northwest village)

Elffin: ...Where... am I...?
Mary: Are you awake?
Elffin: ...What... happened...?
Mary: We found you lying at the entrance to the village, covered in wounds. We took you home and have been taking care of you.
Elffin: Thank you... But you are...?
Mary: My name is Mary. I live in this village.
Elffin: ...You live here... Oh no! My very presence endangers this village... ...It may even be too late...
Mary: I'm sorry?
Elffin: I am Elffin... One of the resistance force. The lord here is sure to send troops in to capture me.
Mary: The resistance force...
Elffin: Lady Mary, you should leave here. The village is in danger.
Mary: ...No, I will stay.
Elffin: ...Why?
Mary: I have a younger brother, but he left with his friend next door to find work. I'm taking care of his friend's sister. I can't abandon her.
Elffin: I understand... The most I can do to protect this village is leave. I thank you again for tending to my wounds. Please take care.
Mary: Yes, you too.

At the start of turn 4, enemy phase

(At the castle)

Zinque: What is going on out there? Why is it taking so long to find a single member of the resistance?!
Soldier: It's the Lycian Army! They've joined the battle on behalf of the villagers...
Zinque: The Lycian Army? They would betray Etruria?!
Soldier: Also, milord, we have received a missive from Juteaux. The Lycian Army is suspected of working with the bandits. Lord Arcardo has given us orders to take them dead or alive.
Zinque: The Lycian Army has ties with bandits? Hah! The irony! That fool only wants to save face...
Soldier: Excuse me, milord?
Zinque: This is not the mainland. The Isles are ruled by might.
Soldier: I'm not quite sure I understand...
Zinque: Pay it no mind. Was that all the message from Juteaux said?
Soldier: There's more. Lord Arcardo has provided us with reinforcements.
Zinque: What?!
Soldier: They should arrive soon.
Zinque: Confound it! We won't get credit for defeating Lycia if we're aided by reinforcements! We must wrap this up before they can join the fight... Ah, I've an idea! Get me Scollan!
Soldier: Yes, milord.

(The soldier leaves and Scollan appears)

Scollan: You called, Lord Zinque?
Zinque: Burn down the village. Kill any who resist.
Scollan: ...Can we take the loot?
Zinque: Do as you wish. Just do it quickly.
Scollan: You can count on us, Lord Zinque. Heh heh heh...

At the start of turn 6, enemy phase

(Scollan and his bandits, including Gonzalez, arrive from the northwest)

Scollan: Gonzalez! Where are you, Gonzalez?!
Gonzalez: Here... I here...
Scollan: There's a village to the south. With me so far?
Gonzalez: With you so far.
Scollan: Good. It might be a base for the resistance. Zinque says to burn it to the ground, village and all.
Gonzalez: Village and all...
Scollan: Good, you understand. Now get goin'! Don't screw this one up, you dimwit.
Gonzalez: I... I...
Scollan: You got a problem? Does your head hurt from thinking too much?
Gonzalez: N-no...

(Gonzalez leaves)

Scollan: Heh, he's ugly as sin, but he's got a heart of gold. There's nothin' wrong with tearin' down a few houses. Are we clear, wretches? No questions?
Bandit: We got it, Boss!

At the start of turn 8, enemy phase

(Klein and his soldiers arrive from the southeast alongside Thea)

Klein: That's the Lycian Army...
Thea: They were assigned to fight against the bandits...
Klein: I know. But Lord Arcardo says they're allied with the bandits now. Why they're doing exactly the opposite of their assignment is beyond me...
Thea: ......
Klein: Thea, take your soldiers and attack from the north. I'll commence the attack from here.
Thea: Yes, sir.
Klein: Thea! Hold on.
Thea: Yes, sir?
Klein: I hear that you have siblings.
Thea: Yes, sir, I have two sisters. One older, one younger.
Klein: Are they pegasus knights like you?
Thea: They are, actually. Why do you ask?
Klein: I have a younger sister myself...
Thea: Any sister of yours must be enchanting.
Klein: Yes, she is a sight. I heard, however, she got tangled up in some mess and now she's missing...
Thea: What? Oh my...
Klein: I have some people looking into it, but they've yet to find anything. If I didn't have this mission, I would search for her myself...
Thea: ......
Klein: Thea, be careful out there. For your family's sake.
Thea: Yes, sir. Thank you.

(Thea leaves the map through the southwest)

Klein: Ready then? Let's move.
Soldier: Sir, are you sure?
Klein: Of what?
Soldier: Lord Arcardo said Ilia's pegasus knights are expendable. They should be fighting on the front line, not us. Surely the lives of us Etrurian soldiers are more valuable.
Klein: Don't be ridiculous. They are reliable companions. We will attack at the same time... or before them, if need be. Understood?
Soldier: Yes, sir.
Klein: ...Lord Arcardo's story is curious, though... The army from Lycia only arrived very recently. How could they create ties with the bandits so quickly...?

At the start of turn 9, enemy phase

(At the castle)

Soldier: Lord Zinque, reinforcements from Juteaux should arrive shortly.
Zinque: Blast! We have enough problems as it is... The last thing I need is reinforcements stealing the credit!

At the start of turn 10, enemy phase

(Thea and her pegasus knights arrive from the north)

Thea: Are you ready? We move southward!
Pegasus Knight: Captain... Are you sure we'll be all right?
Thea: Is something wrong?
Pegasus Knight: The Etrurian army considers us disposable. They may send us to our doom...
Thea: Where did you hear that?
Pegasus Knight: One of the other riders was told so by someone in the Etrurian army.
Thea: Pay no mind to mere rumors.
Pegasus Knight: But...
Thea: I'm certain Commander Klein would never approve of that.
Pegasus Knight: Do you really think so?
Thea: Commander Klein's not like that. I trust him with my life.
Pegasus Knight: ...Very well. Then we'll trust him as well, for we trust you, Captain.
Thea: Good. Let's go!

Talk conversations

Lilina talks to Gonzalez

Lilina: Excuse me!
Gonzalez: W-what you doing?! I am enemy!
Lilina: I know... But there's such a look of sorrow in your eyes.
Gonzalez: ...There is village near mountain. You know?
Lilina: Yes, I know it.
Gonzalez: Tell people escape. I have order. Destroy village. I...
Lilina: What? Don't! The villagers are innocent...
Gonzalez: No. It order. I must.
Lilina: It sounds to me like you should leave the person who gave you that order.
Gonzalez: Leave?
Lilina: Yes! You can fight with us. We're protecting the villagers.
Gonzalez: ...No... I monster... People mean to me... People throw stones... People say, "Go away!"... "You a monster!"... Not human...
Lilina: That's horrible! Of course you're human! You're a very kind-hearted man. I can tell. Please, come with us. Don't be afraid.
Gonzalez: Me afraid? I never afraid! Everyone afraid of ME! I not afraid!
Lilina: No. You ARE afraid. You're afraid that people will throw stones and call you a monster.
Gonzalez: ......
Lilina: But you don't have to be afraid of us. Everyone in our army is nice. They won't do that to you. Be brave... Take that first step, and you'll never have to be afraid again.
Gonzalez: ......

(Gonzalez joins the army)

Shanna talks to Thea before Klein is recruited

Shanna: Th-Thea! Sister!
Thea: Shanna...?
Shanna: What are you doing here?
Thea: ...I have a contract with Commander Klein of Etruria. Shanna... Are you with the Lycian Army?
Shanna: Yes.
Thea: I see... Then this was inevitable. Draw your lance!
Shanna: No... I don't want to fight you!
Thea: ...Shanna, you know the code of the Ilian mercenaries.
Shanna: ...Never betray your employer...
Thea: Precisely. And we must follow that code, even if it means we must fight our own kin.
Shanna: But... one of us could be killed!
Thea: I know that! But we must fight! Failing to do so would damage the reputation of the Ilian mercenaries. Our nation can't afford to lose its mercenary contracts!
Shanna: Thea...
Thea: Now, draw your lance, Shanna!

(Shanna leaves)

Thea: ...Why... Why does it have to be like this...?

Shanna talks to Thea after Klein is recruited

(If this is the first time she is talking to Thea)

Shanna: T-Thea! Sister!
Thea: Shanna...?
Shanna: What are you doing here?
Thea: ...I have a contract with Commander Klein of Etruria. Shanna... Are you with the Lycian Army?
Shanna: Yes.
Thea: I see... Then this was inevitable. Draw your lance!
Shanna: No, Commander Klein said he would join us! We don't have to fight!
Thea: What? Really?
Shanna: Yes!
Thea: ...That's a relief. I will join you as well.
Shanna: Thanks, Sister!

(Thea and her soldiers become allied units)

(If this is the second time she is talking to Thea)

Shanna: Thea!
Thea: Shanna... Are you prepared to fight?
Shanna: No! We don't have to fight!
Thea: Of course we do. Must I repeat myself--
Shanna: Commander Klein said he would join us! We don't have to fight!
Thea: What? Really...? You're... telling the truth?
Shanna: Yes! To fight me would be breaking the code!
Thea: ......
Shanna: ...Thea?
Thea: ...I'm so relieved...
Shanna: Thea...
Thea: Thank goodness... I was so scared...
Shanna: We'll always be together, Sister...

(Thea joins the army and her soldiers become allied units)

Clarine talks to Klein

Clarine: Klein!
Klein: Clarine? You are safe!
Clarine: I'm sorry I left like I did. But I wanted so badly to see you!
Klein: Oh, the trouble you get into... Well, you're safe, and what's what matters. ...What brings you out here? Did you find a trustworthy mercenary for hire?
Clarine: No, I joined the Lycian Army.
Klein: The Lycian Army?!
Clarine: Yes! My healing staves have been most useful!
Klein: ...I see. I thought your eyes looked... sharper.
Clarine: I'm a lady now, I am.
Klein: ...Let me ask you this. What kind of individual is General Roy?
Clarine: Hmm... He's a tad rough around the edges for a noble... His hair especially is an absolute mess...
Klein: ...Let me rephrase that. Is General Roy working with the bandits?
Clarine: No, of course not! We've been sent here to vanquish the bandits!
Klein: So I heard...
Clarine: The Etrurians here are malicious people... It is so embarrassing... Klein... Are you working for them?
Klein: No. Not anymore.
Clarine: What?
Klein: I want sent here to protect the villagers. I hereby join the Lycian Army to fulfill my mission.
Clarine: Thank you, Klein!
Klein: Shall we, then? Will you introduce me to General Roy?
Clarine: Naturally! I love you, Klein.

(Klein joins the army and his soldiers become allied units)

Roy talks to Klein

Roy: Wait! Aren't you an Etrurian commander? Why are you attacking us?!
Klein: I have specific orders from Lord Arcardo to take you down.
Roy: Can't you see what's happening here? The people are suffering from the lords' abusive treatment! And you're helping them. You should be ashamed!
Klein: ...Wait. Are you saying that you're helping the villagers?
Roy: Yes. The lord here is ransacking the village in search of the resistance. We're fighting to stop him. And you're apparently on his side.
Klein: I had no such intention. My orders stated that you were the ones working with the bandits.
Roy: What?! Why would we be working with bandits? We just want to clean things up here and get home to Lycia!
Klein: ...Such nerve.
Roy: What?!
Klein: Lord Arcardo has made a fool of me. I have been so blind enough not to see through his thin veil of deceit.
Roy: ...Do you see what we see now?
Klein: I am Klein of House Reglay of Etruria. Forgive me for my misguided attack against you.
Roy: I am General Roy of the Lycian Army.
Klein: General Roy, I would advise you to be cautious. With you against Lord Arcardo, I expect him to use every pawn at his disposal to have you dealt with.
Roy: Thank you for the advice...
Klein: If you would allow it, I will join you.
Roy: You will?
Klein: Yes. I wish to monitor you as an Etrurian commander. I should prove useful as both a fighter and a diplomat.
Roy: Thank you.

(Klein joins the army and his soldiers become allied units)

Klein talks to Thea

Klein: Thea!
Thea: Commander Klein! What is the matter?
Klein: There's been a change of plans. We are going to fight under General Roy of the Lycian Army.
Thea: Understood, sir. We shall follow you without question.
Klein: I don't mind a question here or there, to be frank.
Thea: We are Ilian mercenaries, sir. We follow our employer's every order. And besides...
Klein: Yes?
Thea: I trust you to make proper judgments.
Klein: Thank you, Thea.

Houses/villages

The southwestern village

Middle-Aged Female Villager: I wonder how Mary's doing... Her brother and his friend are both traveling, trying to make money. It's too dangerous to go outside now... Can you go check on her? Here, I'll give you this for your trouble...

(Barrier)

The western village

Middle-Aged Male Villager: Ah, our heroes! I thank you on behalf of the village. This is made from the scale of a dragon. It's said it will protect the one who uses it from harm. Please, take it.

(Dragonshield)

The left northwestern village

(If visited by someone other than Lot or Ward)

Mieu: Lot? ...Oh. I'm sorry... Take this.

(Elixir)

(If visited by Lot)

Mieu: Brother! You're home!
Lot: Mieu! Have you been a good girl?
Mieu: Yes, I was good! I didn't even wet my bed!
Lot: That's my girl.
Mieu: Lot... While you were away, Mother...
Lot: Yeah, I know... She went to sleep...
Mieu: Here... Mother left this for you. She said you might find a use for it.
Lot: ......
Mieu: Brother... You won't leave me, will you? You won't go to sleep like Mother...?
Lot: Of course not! In fact, next time you see me I'll have a whole wagon of presents. Just listen to Mary and stay good, all right?
Mieu: OK!
Lot: Go hide in the hills with Mary. It's dangerous here.
Mieu: I will... And Lot?
Lot: Yeah?
Mieu: You promised! Don't leave me!
Lot: I won't...

(Mieu leaves)

Lot: At least, I hope I won't...

(Speedwings)

(If visited by Ward)

Mieu: It's Ward!
Ward: Hey, Mieu! ...Come on, can't you call me UNCLE Ward?
Mieu: But... you're just Ward.
Ward: Ah, never mind. You look like you've gotten bigger.
Mieu: Yeah!
Ward: ...It's dangerous here. Go hide in the hills.
Mieu: ...Alone?
Ward: My sister's still here, right? She'll take you.
Mieu: Yeah, Auntie Mary's here.
Ward: So she's Auntie Mary but I'm just Ward, huh?
Mieu: Oh. Here you go.
Ward: What's this? A wing?
Mieu: It'll make you like a bird!
Ward: Like a bird? What's that mean?
Mieu: Like a bird. You know.
Ward: No, I don't know. But, uh, anyway, this is for me?
Mieu: No, it's for Big Brother Lot.
Ward: And Lot is Big Brother Lot... Have you got it out for me?
Mieu: Ha ha ha! I'll go see Mary. Here's the wing. Give it to Lot, OK, Uncle Ward?

(Mieu leaves)

Ward: And NOW she calls me Uncle... Whoa, are you OK?! Don't trip...

(Speedwings)

The right northwestern village

(If visited by someone other than Lot or Ward)

Mary: Have you seen my brother? His name is Ward, and he's a mercenary... Have you at least heard of him? Well, take this for your trouble.

(Door Key)

(If visited by Ward)

Mary: Ward!
Ward: Mary! It's good to see you.
Mary: You've returned?
Ward: Well, not exactly... We're here on a mission...
Mary: ...You're never coming back, are you?
Ward: No! Of course I will! ...Just not yet. Just you wait. When I come back I'll have more money than I can carry. Then all our problems will be a thing of the past.
Mary: I don't care about that... I just want you safe.
Ward: Sis...
Mary: I know how brash and hotheaded you can be, but always remember... There are people who care about you.
Ward: ......
Mary: Here, take this.
Ward: What is it?
Mary: It's a special weapon. I nursed a traveler back to health, and he left it in return. You can use it, can't you?
Ward: Thanks, Sis! I've gotta go now.
Mary: Just be careful...

(Swordreaver)

(If visited by Lot)

Lot: Mary...
Mary: Lot! You've returned?
Lot: No... We just happened to be nearby.
Mary: Oh... Mieu won't be happy about that.
Lot: I've made you take care of Mieu ever since our mother died. I'm sorry to force that burden on you.
Mary: It's not your fault...
Lot: Someday... I swear... I swear I'll return. ...Can I leave Mieu to you until then?
Mary: ...You swear it?
Lot: ...Yes.
Mary: Don't lie like that... This is war. You don't know if you'll come back.
Lot: ......
Mary: But I'll be waiting... Until eternity.
Lot: I'm sorry.
Mary: Oh, you should take this.
Lot: What is it?
Mary: It's a special weapon. It will help you keep your promise.
Lot: I appreciate it. Now... I must be off again.
Mary: Be careful...

(Swordreaver)

The northeastern village

Young Male Villager: ...The resistance suffered a crippling defeat here. Here, take this. I'm going to look for other survivors. There is still hope if we can find our leader.

(Sleep)

The eastern village

Young Male Villager: I hate the resistance! We civilians have to deal with the consequences of their actions. You know we stand no chance if we try to stand up to our lord. We just want to lead a normal life. Oh... I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated. I have no useful skills so I can't help you... but take this...

(Orion's Bolt)

The southeastern village

Elderly Male Villager: A few months ago, my granddaughter went missing. We all searched in the mountains and found her. She was with a hulking monster of a man, so we threw stones at him to drive him off... Afterwards my granddaughter told me that he was the one who led her to the village. ...If you ever find that man, would you give him this? It's a special axe that's effective against swords. And... tell him I'm sorry.

(Swordreaver)

Battle quotes

Zinque enters combat

Zinque: The people are suffering...? What concern is that to me? They live to serve me. Their wails are meaningless.

Zinque dies

Zinque: This is my land... Mine alone... None... shall...

Ending

Merlinus: Lord Roy, there is a young man claiming to be with the resistance here.
Roy: I'll see him. Let him pass.
Elffin: I am pleased to meet you. My name is Elffin. I am a member of the resistance force.
Roy: I am Roy of the Lycian Army.
Elffin: You have my thanks for saving the village here.
Roy: We simply did what we believe is right.
Elffin: But now you stand against Etruria.
Roy: Even so, I have no regrets. We may have opposed Etruria's immediate interests, but once the truth about the Isles is out, I'm certain they will understand. I sent a letter to a trustworthy Etrurian noble. If she takes appropriate measures, they will send us aid.
Elffin: I would not be so sure...
Roy: Why is that?
Elffin: Don't you find it odd that Etruria requested your help here at all?
Roy: Actually... yes, I do.
Elffin: If I may be so bold as to guess... Was it High Chancellor Roartz and Lord Arcardo who requested your help?
Roy: ...It was.
Elffin: There may have been ulterior motives for sending your army away. Perhaps your presence in Lycia was undesirable to them.
Roy: I never even considered that...
Elffin: There are rumors... that Roartz and Arcardo are working with Bern.
Roy: What?! Then Lycia is in danger!
Merlinus: L-Lord Roy!
Elffin: Your country may be in peril. Are you free to waste your time on the Isles as you are?
Merlinus: He's right! Bern wanted us out of Lycia so they could launch an invasion! We must head back at once!
Roy: ...We stay here.
Merlinus: What?! Why?!
Elffin: ......
Roy: It's difficult to judge what may be hearsay and what may be truth. We can't simply jump on this rumor and run back to Lycia. I am certainly concerned, but my father and General Cecilia are there. The people on the Isles have only us to rely on.
Merlinus: That may be, but...
Roy: If we leave without finishing our mission, then all we've done here was for naught.
Elffin: ...Your army is blessed with a levelheaded leader.
Roy: What?
Elffin: Lord Roy, I am sorry for testing you so.
Merlinus: Testing us? So that was a lie?!
Elffin: It was the truth. However, I presented the rumor in a way that you might take rash action. Your leader is a prudent individual. I would join you if you allow it.
Roy: ...I don't like that you tested us. But if you can help, I welcome you. Now, back to the concern we face here. What can we do to help the people of the Isles?
Elffin: You should head south... towards Caldonia.
Roy: Why?
Elffin: Castle Eidyna is located there. It is where workers are kept before they are sent to Eburacum.
Roy: Then we must save the people there!
Elffin: Lord Roy, please take this sword.
Roy: What is this?
Elffin: It is called a wyrmslayer. It was created during the Scouring to use against dragons. It is effective against wyverns as well.
Roy: Wyrmslayer? Is this a legendary weapon?
Elffin: No. Legendary weapons can only be used by those whose skill rivals the Eight Legends. This weapon, however, can be wielded by anyone with experience in swordplay.

(Wyrmslayer)

(If all villages were visited)

Mary: Are you the leader of this army?
Roy: Yes, I am.
Mary: I wish to thank you for protecting our village.
Roy: There is no thanks necessary... We did what we believe is right.
Mary: Regardless, I want you to have this as a token of our gratitude.

(Hero Crest)

(If Klein and all his soldiers survived)

Soldier: Commander Klein, we will stay and help with reconstruction as directed.
Klein: Good. These people need you.
Soldier: Would that we could fight at your side. Here is the bolt we were holding for you. You may need it more than we do. Farewell and good luck, Commander Klein.
Klein: Thank you. Good luck to you as well.

(Orion's Bolt)

(If Thea and all her soldiers survived)

Pegasus Knight: Captain! We will return to Ilia to make our report.
Thea: Very good. Thank you for your service.
Pegasus Knight: Oh, and take this... Your sister gave it to me before she left. Please be careful...
Thea: Thank you. You too.
