Retreat (Japanese: 撤退 Retreat) is the eleventh chapter of Fire Emblem Engage. In this chapter, Alear escapes from Elusia after having lost all of their Emblem Rings.

It is not possible to return to the world map or the Somniel during this chapter. Turn rewinding is also unavailable to the player until Ivy's group is spawned by reaching row 24, or until the end of the chapter if Alear escapes on turn 1, clearing the chapter without giving Ivy's event a chance to activate. In addition to the next main chapter, completing this chapter will also unlock the third paralogue chapter.

Plot

Main article: Retreat/Script

Alear and their army escape out of Destinea Cathedral into a moor to the south. Veyle gives chase with her own army of Corrupted, and plants the six Emblem Rings among them. Still distraught from before, Alear seeks to fight and rescue the Emblems, but Alfred objects, stating that Veyle having both the rings and the Draconic Time Crystal makes her too powerful to challenge. Instead, he suggests that they continue escaping south to shake her off their trail, which they proceed to do.

As Alear retreats through the moor, Veyle calls in the Four Hounds to finish the job, while also summoning more Corrupted to block Alear's path. Stuck in the middle of a pincer attack, Alear receives surprise aid from Ivy, Kagetsu, and Zelkov, who arrive just moments after. Ivy explains to Alear that she attempted to change Hyacinth's mind one last time, but to no avail, and then presents Alear with two Emblem Rings she secured from Destinea Cathedral. Turning against her own country, she requests to join Alear's army, who obliges. Alear entrusts the Ring of the Lady of the Plains to her, and recites an invocation to summon its Emblem, Lyn. Immediately after, they summon Lucina, the Emblem held in the Ring of the Princess Exalt, briefly mistaking her for Marth. Zelkov additionally gifts Alear the Draconic Time Crystal, which he managed to pilfer from Veyle.

Against the odds, Alear and their army manage to escape their pursuers. Ivy leads the group through a forest that leads to Solm, while Alear, Diamant, and Alcryst lament their losses. Elsewhere, Veyle schemes to destroy their hopes and homelands. Alear apologizes to the others for their failure, though Diamant and Alcryst argue over whether or not Ivy should remain with them. Ivy apologizes to the two for not being able to stop the ritual. Lyn and Lucina console Alear, offering their powers as Emblems to aid them in regaining the others. Through their counsel, Alear understands that they are not running away from duty, but recouping to fight again. They pledge to never lose another life, and the royals and Emblems put their trust in Alear.
