A Path of Crimson Flowers

Hubert
Well now. That face is certainly familiar. I am glad to see you alive and well, Professor.

Bernadetta
Professor! It's me, Bernie! Do you remember me? I can't believe you're here!

Caspar
I can't believe it! Is this a dream? Can we really be this lucky?!

Ferdinand
Our group isn't the same without you. I am overjoyed to see you again!

Dorothea
It's been so long! Seeing you again fills my heart with hope!

Linhardt
Great, now everything will be easy. Um, that's great you're safe, Professor. I'm deeply, deeply moved.

Ferdinand
Of course, we did our very best in your absence. And there was never a day that we doubted you would return to us.

Dorothea
Edelgard has been leading us as emperor.

Dorothea
But...after you disappeared, it became apparent that you were her anchor.

Petra
It gives me regret to be admitting this, but... our power is not enough.

Petra
The only one who can be meeting Edelgard's expectations...is you, Professor.

Linhardt
Most impressive of all is your uncanny ability to bring a smile to everyone's face.

Hubert
It seems fitting to view this as a new beginning for the Black Eagle Strike Force. We already have our target.

Edelgard
Yes. We must eliminate the Alliance before moving on to fight the Kingdom and the church.

Edelgard
However, that doesn't necessarily mean we must occupy the entirety of the Alliance.

Edelgard
House Riegan stands against the Empire... Therefore, our target is Derdriu, the Aquatic Capital.

Hubert
We must cross the Airmid River, which separates the Empire and the Alliance.

Hubert
To do that, we must take the largest bridge across it. The Great Bridge of Myrddin.

Hubert
Myrddin connects the monastery and the Imperial capital to the east. It is the shortest route there.

Edelgard
An Alliance stronghold has been built at the Great Bridge. We'll take that and then head north.

Edelgard
At the same time, we must defeat the one who defends it, Judith von Daphnel.

Edelgard
If we can also take control of Daphnel territory, it would be greatly beneficial to us.

Edelgard
Prepare yourselves. The next battle will be a momentous one.

Edelgard
Join me, my friends, as we begin our journey to bring peace and solace to this war-ravaged world.
