Partway through the war, after [[Zelgius]] had defeated [[Skrimir]] in single combat and the Alliance had begun its retreat to [[Gallia]], the rest of the senate appointed Valtome as the [[wikipedia:Commander-in-chief|commander-in-chief]] of Begnion's forces. He took over direct command of the war effort and Begnion's military plans from Zelgius, in order to prolong the war and destroy the [[laguz]] once and for all. Under his direction the northern force was left behind to "search for bodies of dead sub-humans or something" in the dangerous Kauku Caves, into which the Alliance had fled, while Valtome led the Central Army to retreat and regroup.

Valtome's new plan for the Begnion army was to stage an invasion of Gallia through [[Crimea]], and he immediately began to pressure Crimea's Queen [[Elincia]] for support for the war effort, demanding both free passage through Crimean lands and supplies and reinforcements. As a pacifist and ally of Gallia, Elincia denied all of these requests, and in revenge Valtome ordered the army to enter Crimea anyway and begin actively raiding and stealing from its people for the needed supplies.<ref>{{Cite|Senator Valtome arrives to take command of the Central Army.

Days later, Valtome and the Central Army passed into Crimea territory anyway and prepared to engage the Laguz Alliance, but they were stopped by the arrival of Elincia, who laid down her sword as a symbolic gesture to stop the fight. When Valtome insisted on attacking anyway, Zelgius, [[Levail]], and the Central Army retreated from the battle, as did the Laguz Alliance army. Enraged by this turn of events, Valtome ordered his personal Culbert army and its commander, [[Sergei]], to kill Elincia for defying him. Valtome's army was opposed by [[Ike]] and the [[Greil Mercenaries]], as well as the Crimean Royal Knights, who drove his men back. In the end, as Elincia's allies succeeded in overwhelming the Culbert army, Valtome escaped the battlefield and swore to punish Zelgius for failing to aid him.
