Jeralt, I did it... I protected the monastery...

Shamir falls in battle.

Shamir

I knew it... Shouldn't have let emotion get in the way...

Shamir

Our surprise attack on Garreg Mach was a success. Now we just need to break through past this point.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

We were successful in sneaking up on Garreg Mach. All that's left is to break through past this point.

Alois
volume_up

Lady Rhea and Catherine are holding back most of the Empire's army.
Alois
volume_up

Thereby leaving us, the expeditionary force, free to recapture the monastery!

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

The archbishop and Catherine are handling the bulk of the Imperial army.
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

That gives us the chance to infiltrate the monastery!
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Our enemies have followed us even here. How unfortunate.
Hubert
volume_up

Your Majesty, the enemy's movement is suspicious. They may have some tactic in mind.
Edelgard
volume_up

If so, then let's face them without delay. Form defensive lines and hold them to the death! Strike down all who approach!
Hubert
volume_up

Their troop composition is also strange. I would bet that they are concealing additional soldiers.

The Knights of Seiros are closing in on the monastery. Do not allow them to capture any protected locations!

Now!

Our plan's been thwarted. No point in attempting to remain hidden.

All troops, forward! Retake Garreg Mach!

Now! Light it up! Like the goddess's fiery wrath, these flames will engulf our enemies.
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

Start the fire!

Shamir
volume_up

Great. A path has opened for us.
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

All right, a second route is open! Well done on this one too!
link
Hubert
volume_up

Setting fires, opening new paths—we're outflanked. We cannot allow them any further ingress.
Hubert
volume_up

Widen the defensive line. Stop the enemy from entering at all cost.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Success! Seize this momentum! Take the monastery!

The enemy is transporting large quantities of flammable material into the woods.
Hubert

They clearly intend to attack us with fire. We should do all we can to prevent it.

Troops waiting in the woods to ambush? We must avoid any suspicious areas as we advance.

Alois! How dare you die before me!

Shamir, no! I will avenge you!

Seteth

I'm sorry, Rhea... For Flayn's sake, I must take my leave to retreat...

I have lived many years...yet there was still more I wished to do.

I'm sorry, Flayn... I couldn't protect you...

Father! Father, why?! Why?!

Flayn

Farewell, Professor. I do not imagine we shall ever meet again.

Flayn

Mother... I will see you soon.

We fought them off. Good work, everyone.
Edelgard
volume_up

We've repelled the principal force of the knights and defended Garreg Mach!
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Hubert, I require a damage report at once.
Hubert
volume_up

Yes, Your Majesty. We will have to make inquiries about the status of the main army.
Edelgard
volume_up

Indeed. After all, it seems they had Rhea and Catherine fighting on their side.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

If they break through here, the monastery will be— ...If that happens, all will be lost.

Battle Dialog

Attack: Byleth - Alois

Alois
volume_up

I can't believe you would try to kill Lady Rhea. Jeralt must be turning in his grave.
Alois
volume_up

I can't protect you like I promised. I have to kill you and bury you with my own hands.
link

Attack: Byleth - Shamir

Shamir
volume_up

You still align yourself with the emperor? What a shame.
Shamir
volume_up

Let's make this quick. I don't want the loser to suffer.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Seteth

Seteth
volume_up

It saddens me to face you on the field of battle, after all you've done for Flayn.
Seteth
volume_up

I cannot approve of your actions. But I also cannot follow Rhea on her current course.
Seteth
volume_up

It may not change anything, but allow me to make a promise to you.
Seteth
volume_up

If Flayn and I survive this battle, we will withdraw from the world and leave you to do as you please.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Flayn

Flayn
volume_up

When I heard you were alive, Professor, I was so happy. But now... Now this?
Flayn
volume_up

How can it be that you fight on that side?
Flayn
volume_up

I cannot take your life, for I owe you mine, even now.
Flayn
volume_up

And yet I cannot back away from this fight.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Flayn

Flayn
volume_up

When this is over, my brother and I will go into hiding. It is the only way.
link

Attack: Shamir - Alois

Shamir
volume_up

So, you're the leader of the Knights of Seiros now? Good for you, Alois.
Alois
volume_up

Indeed! You seem to be doing well for yourself too. The other knights are always cursing you.
Shamir
volume_up

Don't worry, I won't hold back. I owe an old ally the courtesy.
Alois
volume_up

I won't either. I hope you're ready.
link

Attack: Alois - Shamir

Alois
volume_up

Why, if it isn't Shamir! You're still with the knights. What a surprise.
Shamir
volume_up

You're the surprise, Alois. I never thought I'd see the day you'd choose anyone over Rhea.
Shamir
volume_up

Don't worry, I won't hold back. I owe an old ally the courtesy.
Alois
volume_up

I won't either. I hope you're ready.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Alois

Alois
volume_up

You fiend, bearing ill will against the goddess. This place will be your grave!
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Shamir

Shamir
volume_up

How much of this can you take? It doesn't matter. We will be reclaiming Garreg Mach.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Seteth

Seteth
volume_up

Trespassing on holy ground is a grave sin indeed. You must atone for it with your life!
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Flayn

Flayn
volume_up

This makes me terribly sad, but this is my duty, to which I must be true!
