“	Of course not! We knights serve as the sword and shield of Saint Seiros herself. We pride ourselves on our integrity! We reject all rewards that are not perfectly legitimate!	”	— Alois

Plot

Main article: Sword and Shield of Seiros/Script

Byleth interrupts a discussion between Shamir and Alois. The two explain that pirates are attacking the Alliance capital of Derdriu and the Eastern Church has requested aid from the Knights of Seiros since they don't maintain a standing army. As the Knights don't have personnel to spare, Alois ropes Byleth and their students into helping out.

When the group reaches Derdriu, they find that the pirates are attempting to masquerade as the Almyran navy. The Knights and students wipe out the pirates and kill their leader, forcing them to retreat. Afterwards, Alois and Shamir thank Byleth for their aid and tell them to keep the reward.

Beginning log

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

By the end of this chapter, you will hate wyverns with a purple passion hatred. Bring lots of strong archers. You also want to leave Shamir behind in the city center as a rearguard in case any wyverns slip past you. Split your forces up, have the southern group start clearing out the southern enemies, and have the northern group fight their way east. The northern group should be careful not to overextend, as there are enemies with gambits lurking about and you could quickly find yourself swarmed. The wyverns are far and away the most dangerous enemies on the field. They should be high-priority targets for your bowmen. The boss usually charges south; kill him as fast as possible to win the battle.
