The Ostian Revolt/Script

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

Hearing of rebellion, Roy hurries his pace towards Ostia. According to his information, General Legance, an advisor to Hector, organized a rebellion with Lieutenant Debias to surrender to Bern. Legance keeps Lilina hostage in Castle Ostia, thinking she may be of use later.

Roy and company entered Ostia in an attempt to rescure Lilina. Ostia, the largest and most populous city in Lycia, is to become a battlefield...

Chapter 7: The Ostian Revolt

(At Castle Ostia)

Legance: Is everything quiet, Debias?

Debias: Yes, sire. The townspeople are no trouble. But the Ilian mercenaries that Hector hired still refuse to join us.

Legance: What more do they want? We already said we'd pay more!

Debias: Ilia's mercenary knights are famously loyal.

Legance: I know that, you bloated imbecile! But General Narcian will arrive soon! If we don't have Ostia under our control by then, he'll never take us seriously!

Debias: Y-yes, sire.

Legance: Lilina may make for a valuable bargaining chip with the mercenaries... If her life is in danger, they should surrender. But that must be a last resort. First we must attempt to beat them into submission. The wyvern riders Bern sent us should prove invaluable! Debias, I want the mercenaries pacified and the castle gate secured. I will be inside the castle readying our defenses.

Debias: Yes, sire!

(In Roy's army)

Roy: How many of Ostia's troops have joined the rebellion?

Merlinus: Quite a large majority, I'm afraid. They've forgotten their fealty to Lord Hector. They all simply gave in to Bern because they're afraid. It's a disgrace, I tell you.

Roy: Is that so...

Merlinus: But it's not all bad news, Lord Roy! There's a band of mercenaries from Ilia that wish to join us to stop the rebels.

Guinivere: Mercenaries from Ilia, you say?

Merlinus: Oh, yes. They signed a contract with Lord Hector to fight Bern alongside Ostia.

Roy: They could be a great help. But do they know Lord Hector has passed away? Isn't their contract void now that he's gone?

Merlinus: I would have thought so, too, Lord Roy. They told me themselves however that they heard of Lord Hector's passing. They're still eager to fight with us.

Guinivere: They're only mercenaries. Why would they go so far?

Merlinus: Ilia is a frozen land with a harsh climate so the land is very infertile. And so, mercenary contracts are a major source of income in Ilia. Ilian mercenaries are said to never betray their employers, no matter what. It seems that's true indeed.

Roy: Then they should be powerful allies.

Merlinus: I agree! Fortune is still with us! But...the mercenary I spoke to also had some bad news. He said one of the three Wyvern Generals is headed here with a legion of wyvern riders. Should they aid the rebels, our chances of victory will slip through our fingers.

Guinivere: Roy... What are you going to do?

Roy: ...The Kingdom of Etruria might help us.

Guinivere: Etruria?! Is it possible?

Roy: General Cecilia, Mage General of Eturia, was my teacher in tactics at Ostia. I feel she may join forces with us if we ask.

Merlinus: I object, Lord Roy! If we have Eturia solve this Lycian matter, they will never take us seriously again!

Roy: Yes, I know that might happen... But this is a matter of life or death for Lycia. We must ask for help, for if we don't, Lycia as we know it may become just a memory.

Merlinus: ...Lord Roy.

Roy: But we must ask quickly! I've already penned a letter ot General Cecilia. Merlinus, I need you to send the letter to her right away.

Merlinus: ...Yes, Lord Roy! You are probably right. I shall send it this instant.

Roy: With any luck, she'll make it in time.. Get ready for combat, soldiers! We will retake Ostia!

(Turn 1 begins)

(Before Turn 2 properly begins, Zelots and Trec appear from a house)

Zelots: It looks like the Lycian Army has commenced a counterattack on the rebels. Let's join them and quell this shameful little rebellion!

Trec: Uh-huh.

Zelots: Wait, where's Noah?

Trec: Uhhh, I think he went to the arena a little while ago. He said he's coaching some girl in swordplay.

Zelots: Noah, a coach? That's not like him... Has he made a little girlfriend, I wonder? Ha ha. Well, no matter. He can catch up with us later.

Trec: Uh-huh..

Zelots: Time for action. Move out.

(Before Turn 3 properly begins, at the arena)

Noah: Looks like they've started attacking the rebels. I need to get going, Fir.

Fir: Thank you for helping me, Sir Noah.

Noah: Of course. I sure was surprised when you came up to me though. Not many people would challenge someone to a match so quickly like that.

Fir: I-I'm sorry, Sir Noah. I'd never fought in the arena before...

Noah: If you'd asked anyone else, you'd be dead now. You need to look your opponent over carefully before choosing a fight.

Fir: And I must have the humility to surrender if it appears I'll lose.

Noah: Exactly. You can always get your money back, but don't throw your life away.

Fir: You're right! Thank you!

Noah: What will you do now? Will you stay here and continue practicing the sword?

Fir: No. I'm going to the Western Isles.

Noah: The Western Isles? Why?

Fir: They're constructing a new mine, so there are many new workers headed there. Miners are strong, so it's no doubt an ideal place to find new opponents to challenge. And besides...

Noah: Yes?

Fir: The Western Isles is where my mother first met my father. She's passed on, but at my age she traveled around the world training herself.

Noah: So that's it... You surprise me again.

Fir: Why?

Noah: I thought all you wanted was to become strong. I didn't realize you were following in your mother's footsteps. You do have a cute side after all!

Fir: ... Sir Noah! Please don't tease me!

Noah: Ha ha ha ha ha!

(Fir leaves the map, Noah enters it as a NPC)

(Before Turn 10 properly begins)

Debias: The reinforcements should be arriving from the south soon. Heh heh... I want to see the look on their faces when they get hit from behind!

(After conquering the throne)

Roy: The city is finally under our control. Now let is retake Castle Ostia and rescue Lilina!

Merlinus: Lord Roy, I understand your apprehension, but please be patient! We still need to break down the castle gate.

Roy: ...Lilina.

Merlinus: Speaking of Lady Lilina... What do you think of what Lord Hector said?

Roy: You mean about the dragons? They were real, not just myth... Lord Hector was one of the greatest tacticians in Lycia. And his army was defeated in the blink of an eye...

Merlinus: Bern's army is perhaps the strongest in Elibe. I say, those wyvern riders were indeed very formidable opponents.

Roy: Of course the wyvern riders must have been difficult enough. But the dragons... I can't even conceive how powerful they must be. Lord Hector mentioned a weapon that is effective against dragons... I wonder where it's hidden?

Merlinus: I presume it must be one of the legendary weapons.

Roy: If we can obtain those, we might have a fighting chance against the dragons. But I do wonder what a legendary weapon is doing in Ostia.

Merlinus: Perhaps Lady Lilina knows the answer. I'm curious as well. Oh! Lord Roy, our men have finished knocking down the gate. We can enter now!

Roy: All right! Forward charge! Rescue Lilina, no matter the cost!

Conversations

Roy and Zelots

Roy: Excuse me, are you Sir Zelots of the Ilian mercenaries?

Zelots: That's me. And you are?

Roy: My name is Roy. I lead the army that's fighting the rebels.

Zelots: You? Impressive... I expected someone older.

Roy: I'm here because Lord Hector asked me to be.

Zelots: Lord Hector... We've lost a great man. He was a true warrior.

Roy: We have to retake Ostia. For Lord Hector! And for Lilina...

Zelots: I concur. We'll offer what help we can.

Roy: Thank you for the assistance.

Zelots: Save the thanks for after we've retaken the castle. Come! We must concentrate on the enemy now!

Roy: Right!

Roy and Trec

Roy: Are you one of the Ilian mercenaries?

Trec: Hmmm? Yeah, I guess so.

Roy: My name is Roy. I lead the Lycian Army.

Trec: Oh, I'll take your orders from now on then.

Roy: What? Just like that?

Trec: Hm?

Roy: You don't have to check in with your commander first?

Trec: Oh. Nah. He already said we're joining the Lycian Army.

Roy: But still...

Trec: Really, it's fine. This is a battle. There's no time to check every little thing with the commander. It's not as though I'm going against his orders anyway.

Roy: ...All right.

Roy and Noah

Roy: Are you one of the Ilian mercenaries?

Noah: Sure am. Can I help you?

Roy: My name is Roy. I lead the Lycian Army.

Noah: Oh! I heard about you... I'm supposed to take orders from you now.

Roy: Are you sure that's all right?

Noah: What do you mean?

Roy: Don't you have to check in with your commander...?

Noah: He told me we're joining the Lycian Army. That's enough for me.

Roy: But did he mean like this?

Noah: This is a battlefield. There's no time to check everything with the commander. As long as I'm following orders, and I am, I can play it by ear.

Roy: I see.Thanks for the help.

Zelots and Trec

Zelots: Trec, we are going into the Lycia army's service.

Trec: Okay, sir.

Zelots: Hm, not the most enthusiastic response. You don't like the idea?

Trec: Eh? No, I have no problem with it.

Zelots: Oh, all right. Just thought I'd ask.

Trec: Lycia... Nah, we shouldn't have much trouble.

Zelots and Noah

Zelots: Noah!

Noah: Sir Zelots, I'm sorry that I'm late.

Zelots: I heard you were coaching a young girl in the sword arts.

Noah: Yes... She was a little naive, so I couldn't help it.

Zelots: Is she not with you?

Noah: She said she was headed for the Western Isles.

Zelots: I see. Pity, I thought she might have been of some help if she were still here. But you, who ordinarily wouldn't start nosing around into other people's matters, a coach? Now that is unusual.

Noah: Do you think so, sir?

Zelots: Yes. Trec and I were joking around saying that you may have fancied the girl. But it is in the arena, so that probably wasn't the case.

Noah: ......

Trec and Zelots

This dialogue is taken from an older fan translation patch, and should be updated with the equivalent quote from the most recent version if possible.

Trec: General Zelots.

Zelots: Trec, what is it?

Trec: I just met with the Lycia Alliance leader.

Zelots: Ah, did you? Why didn't you tell me, then?

Trec: Oh, not like that. I just met with him now.

Zelots: That's fine. Then it's time for us to submit to his leadership. Trec, I leave the negotiations with the Lycian Alliance to you.

Trec: Yes sir!

Noah and Zelots

Noah: General Zelots!

Zelots: Ah, it's Noah. You were at the arena, weren't you?

Noah: Yes, sorry I'm late.

Zelots: Doesn't really matter... We've just started fighting. I haven't talked to the Lycia Alliance army yet.

Noah: Oh? Don't worry, I just got done talking to their leader.

Zelots: Really! Then it's time for us to submit to his leadership. Noah, I leave the negotiations with the Lycia Alliance to you.

Noah: Yes sir!
