On the World Map

With an army made up of the Fiana Militia, the Magi Group, and the former nobles of Lenster, Leaf set out to aid the people of Tahra. He soon approached Noel Canyon, the natural boundary between Thracia and the Empire…

Opening Cutscene

Olwen:
“General Largo, is everything under control?”

Largo:
“Ah, Lady Olwen. Are you on surveillance again today? It must be hard coming all the way up to a dull place like this every day.”

Fred:
“They are General Kempuf’s orders. He only gives such commands to Lady Olwen… He must have some kind of grudge.”

Olwen:
“Well, Fred, I actually prefer going outside than being trapped in Dandrum Fortress because I won’t have to see Kempuf’s vile face that way.”

Largo:
“Hahaha, harsh words. Still, General Kempuf is a bad apple, so to speak. He was born into nobility and has his future set out for him, but he’s not a man to look up to. He’s jealous of General Rinehart’s fame and takes it out on you, his sister. Disgraceful, if you ask me.”

Olwen:
“General Kempuf thinks my brother is his rival.”

Largo:
“…Well, they are about the same age, and were both made generals rather young. I understand how he feels, but…”

Olwen:
“But my brother doesn’t think of him as a rival at all…”

Largo:
“That’s probably also part of the reason General Kempuf doesn’t like him.”

Olwen:
“? Why?”

Largo:
“Oh? You don’t understand? …Perhaps you’re still too young.”

Olwen:
“??”

Largo:
“Well, anyway, why don’t you stay a while if you’re not too busy?”

Olwen:
“Yes, thank you. I shall.”

(Scene switches to Leaf)

Dorias:
“Lord Leaf, that is Noel Canyon. The building over there is the fort defending the Empire’s border.”

Leaf:
“We’re finally setting foot on the Empire’s soil… How many troops are there?”

Dorias:
“There shouldn’t be that many guards alone, but they have weapons called ballistas which shoot arrows over great distances. They are extremely powerful, so we’ll have to get rid of them first before we can advance towards the fort.”

Leaf:
“So what can we do?”

Dorias:
“We have three choices. One, we use our main forces to draw the enemy’s attention while a seperate squad attacks the fort. Two, we take our entire army and charge head-on, overwhelming the enemy by force.”

Leaf:
“And the third?”

Dorias:
“Surely you could figure it out if I’ve told you the first two. I shouldn’t need to tell you, should I?”

4th Turn

Largo:
“Lady Olwen, it looks like someone is attacking. I will stay here and defend, so I want you to return to Dandrum and make a report.”

Olwen:
“I would like to stay here and fight with you…”

Largo:
“No, your mission is to observe the situation and report back. I appreciate your offer, but you must return to Dandrum.”

Olwen:
“Then if only for a few moments…”

Largo:
“…Very well, if you insist so. But only until it’s time to go back. Understood?”

Olwen:
“Yes, thank you. Let’s go, Fred!”

Fred:
“Yes, my lady.”

6th Turn

Olwen:
“I should be heading back to Dandrum now… General Largo, I
promise I will return with reinforcements. Please be safe until then…”

Fighting Largo

Largo:
“You intruders that tresspass on our land, what is your wish? What do you want from us!”

Defeating Largo

Largo:
“Guh… So this is where I shall fall…”

Releasing Largo

Largo:
“I have no need for sympathy! I would rather die!”

Fighting Olwen

Olwen:
“You are tresspassing on Imperial territory! Leave at once!”

Fighting Fred

Fred:
“Who are you? Why do you intrude upon the Freejis’
land!”

After beating the map

(If you captured Largo)

Dorias:
“General Largo… Quite a fine warrior.”

Leaf:
“This is the first time I’ve ever fought the Freejian army, but they were stronger than I expected… If that’s what a small group of border guards is like, then I can only imagine how powerful the main army is.”

Dorias:
“Yes, the Freeji family is a strict and respectable line of nobles, so they enforce honor even into their lowest ranking soldiers. I’m sure they are among the strictest and most organized armies on the continent. But you led your forces equally well, Lord Leaf.”

Leaf:
“Do you mean how I left General Largo alive?”

Dorias:
“Yes. Fighting with a just heart like that is exactly what Lord Cuan would have done. I hope you will keep that pride as a knight and fight fair battles from here on as well, Lord Leaf.”

Leaf:
“My pride as a knight… Yes… I would never want to kill more than necessary…”

(If you killed or released Largo)

Leaf:
“August, did you see the Mage Knight that retreated midway through the battle?”

August:
“Yes, I did. She was quite a powerful foe.”

Leaf:
“Who is she?”

August:
“Since she was headed towards Dandrum Fortress, she probably returned to inform her superiors of our attack.”

Leaf:
“That means the enemy will be ready for us.”

August:
“That’s right, Lord Leaf. Dandrum Fortress is said to be impregnable as it is. And now that we’ve given the enemy time to set up its defenses, taking down the fort will prove to be quite an ordeal.”

Leaf:
“But we have no other route.”

August:
“Right, in order to go to Tahra, we must pass through Dandrum.”

Leaf:
“Then we have to get going. If we sit here and wait, we’ll only be giving the enemy more time to prepare!”
