“	Ballistae are clustered all around the fort... We'll have to do something about them to make an effective attack.	”	— Leif

Nohrden Line (Japanese: ノルデンライン Nohrden Line) is the sixteenth chapter of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. This is the first of two chapters on the "A" route; in order to play this chapter, Leif must have headed west towards Fort Nohrden in the previous chapter.

Plot

Main article: Nohrden Line/Script

Kempf and Nikalaf discuss their strategy for dealing with Leif's approaching forces. Nikalaf chastises Kempf for underestimating their enemy and orders him to hold the bridge with his battalion until the Knights of Ulster under Count Conomor arrive from the rear to trap Leif's forces in a pincer attack.

At the same time, Leif confers with August about the enemy's formation and wonders if the enemy could be convinced to break that formation. If Olwen is present, she volunteers to tempt the enemy commander - Kempf - into leaving the bridge, as she has a "history" with him.

The battle begins. If Olwen talks to Kempf, she sends a string of insults toward him, making him break formation and rush away from the bridge alongside his battalion in order to kill her. If Olwen is killed or has not been recruited, Karin can also talk to Ilios, and if she does, she convinces Ilios to defect to Leif's army. His only condition is that he must receive a noble title once Leonster is liberated, a dream that Karin pokes fun at him for.

If Leif visits the top eastern house during the battle, he meets Sleuf. Sleuf recalls his vision from the Tower of Bragi - the words of Father Claud - which leave the prince confused. Sleuf explains that Leif will understand in time, then decides to join the prince's army.

Late into the battle, the Knights of Ulster under Conomor's command appear from the west, and Conomor orders them to charge. One of his soldiers questions this decision, claiming they could retake Ulster now instead of fighting for the Empire, but Conomor is worried that Princess Miranda's safety would be in danger if they did so.

Once the battle ends, Dryas praises Leif for his success, then they discuss the fall of Leonster and Leif's subsequent escape alongside Finn. Leif mentions how the Knights of Ulster striking from the rear made him briefly lose hope, to which Dryas responds that Count Conomor is a splendid and honorable leader. They both wonder why someone like that would fight for House Friege, but conclude that there must be some reason and that it would be best if they could avoid fighting Conomor again.

Ilios is a powerful mage knight with Bolting and a Meisterschwert that can be recruited with Karin, though Olwen must be killed or unrecruited. Unlike in Chapter 11, Kempf does not have a Meisterschwert and can take bonus damage. Some of the front-line Cavaliers have Sleep Swords equipped, which can help with recruiting Misha in the next chapter or Xavier in Chapter 18.

Recruiting Sleuf requires a Bridge Key (the middle village has one), a flying unit, or a Warp staff use/

Conomor will show up on turn 20 with a Nihil Manual; killing him here will cause him not to re-appear in Chapter 19.
