Liberation of Grust (Japanese: グルニア解放 Grunia Liberation) is the fifth chapter of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem Book II and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.

Plot

Main articles: Liberation of Grust/Script and Liberation of Grust/Conversations

Marth's army heads to Olbern Castle, the stronghold of General Lang, the occupant and oppressor of Grust. As the Altean forces close in, Lang leaves the castle's external defense to his subordinate Torus while ordering him to call back Jeorge's archers and a mercenary named Navarre. However, Jeorge ignores the order to return to the castle, and while he cannot openly side with Altea at the moment, he orders his soldiers not to attack unless the Alteans directly approach the troops.

In the midst of battle, Julian can find Rickard and convince him to quit thieving, leading Rickard to join the Altean army. In New Mystery of the Emblem, Ogma, Bord, or Cord may speak to Barst and convince him to join Marth's army. Eventually, Marth's army defeats the forces of Torus and prepares to storm the castle, where Lang and his remaining troops have fortified themselves.
