| “ | Thanks to Edelgard's strength, the Imperial army is more unified than I would have expected. It was a painful realization, but after our battle at Gronder Field, it's clear that we can't win if we don't pull out all the stops. | ” | — Claude |

The Golden Scheme (Japanese: 謀略の寵児 Star Strategy) is the eighteenth chapter of Fire Emblem: Three Houses on the Verdant Wind route.
Plot
- Main article:
The Golden Scheme/Script
The next obstacle on the road to Enbarr is the impregnable Fort Merceus, currently under the command of the Death Knight. Claude and Hilda decide to infiltrate Fort Merceus by disguising themselves as Imperial soldiers and having their Alliance allies stage an attack on them; Fort Merceus will open its gates to allow them in, and they will open the gates from the inside so the main army can storm the fort. Claude secretly rallies Almyran forces led by Nardel, who is revealed to be the famed Almyran general Nader. Together, the combined Alliance/Almyran army overruns Fort Merceus and defeats the Death Knight, who beckons them to pursue him as he escapes. He warns the Alliance to flee before they are all killed and escapes just as modern-day ballistic missiles (described by Nader as "javelins of light") obliterate Fort Merceus. The shocked and demoralized Alliance forces retreat to Myrddin, where Claude explains how he was able to secure Almyran aid. He declares his intention to tear down the barriers between Fódlan and the outside world.

This is the last month the paralogue Foreign Land and Sky can be done, so get working on it if it's available and hasn't been done.
Trivia
- In the cutscene at the end of this chapter, Byleth's troops wear armor with a unique black and pink palette only seen in this cutscene that is not explicitly affiliated with any of the factions. This is possibly due to the fact that this scene is present in both the Silver Snow and Verdant Wind routes.
- At the end of the same cutscene, there is an animation error where Byleth's eyes are their original blue color instead of green.
