Plot

Main article: Flight Toward Freedom/Script

Roy's forces arrive at Castle Eidyna on Caldonia, where workers are kept before being transported to the mines. Elffin has the castle infiltrated ahead of time, allowing several workers to escape, and the Lycian Army is to secure their safe retreat. Arcardo, who is at Eidyna, orders Morgan to chase down the runaway workers while himself returning to Juteaux, the capital of the Western Isles.

The battle begins, and during it, Geese joins the fray as Roy's ally, out for personal revenge over his ship crewmates being worked to death in the mines by the castle's lord. If Roy talks to him, Geese joins his army as a mercenary. After Geese, Bartre also arrives on the battlefield, with the intent of breaking out the castle's prisoners. If Fir, his daughter, talks to him, Bartre joins the Lycian Army in order to protect her. If Roy talks to him instead, he also joins the army, because said army is fighting Etruria.

After the battle ends, Roy's army heads to Juteaux, the heart of the corruption on the Western Isles, in order to liberate it from Etruria. Beforehand, however, Roy accurately guesses that Elffin is of high Etrurian nobility and is hiding his status for some reason.

Geese will appear as a green unit on turn 5, and Bartre, along with two fighters, will appear on turn 8. To recruit them, have Roy talk to Geese and either Fir or Roy speak to Bartre. Bartre's allies will stay as green units, but their survival is inconsequential as they offer no rewards. However, keeping the green NPC villagers alive is important. Also, be mindful not to waste Bartre's unique weapon, the Brave Axe.

This map is relatively straightforward. Deploy your Cavaliers and other fast-moving units. Equipping them with lances and swords should suffice, as the enemies here only wield axes and swords. Divide your forces into two teams: send one along the upper road and the other along the lower one. The first team should clear the upper road of enemies to allow the villagers to escape safely. Strangely, the Ballista won't target these villagers. The second team should reach the village before Pirate reinforcements destroy it.

Avoid deploying low-HP units, or if you must, keep them out of the Ballista's range. You can deplete the Ballista's ammunition by placing a high-HP unit within its range and using vulneraries to heal any damage sustained. This tactic is advised because your healers are vulnerable to ballista fire. Also, don't forget that Elphin can refresh your units, granting them extra movement during your turn. The only tricky aspect of this chapter is the enemy reinforcements near the boss. However, as long as you know their spawn locations and timings, you can prepare adequately to deal with them.
