I never do get used to the sight of blood. It always makes me feel as if I might faint.

I hope this war ends soon. I dislike being lightheaded because other people are bleeding everywhere.

I don't know about everyone else, but heading to the Empire seems like a good idea to me.

The search for Lady Rhea will be so much easier if we can just get the Empire out of the way.

I suppose Dimitri might still pose a problem though. He seems so fixated on the Imperial capital, but...

If we can take back the Kingdom, we'll recover our soldiers. And some food and supplies too, I bet.


Even His Highness understands that. I'm sure of it. Yet he wants to take on the Empire despite all that...

Do you think...he just doesn't care about anything other than fighting Edelgard anymore?
Ingrid

It is imperative that we regroup with those who continue to resist. Most importantly, we must join up with the Fraldarius family.

If we do, our ability to reclaim the Kingdom capital is ensured. We should aim for this outcome rather than focusing our efforts on the Imperial capital.


But I feel what His Highness feels—his hatred, his anger—so keenly, as if it were my own. So I find it difficult to oppose his wishes.

That place is supposed to be really, really hot. Just the thought of it makes me uncomfortable.



Ooh, that's not a bad idea! Though if our enemies attacked while I was here, that would be a pain too...

Ugh! Who names a place "Valley of Torment"? A more inviting name would have been nice. "Valley of Endless Summer," something like that!

Strategically speaking, our best move is probably to head for the Kingdom capital.

Though, I think it's more likely that Lady Rhea is in the Empire, so I would not object to taking the fight directly to Edelgard.


What do you think we should do? I hope, with the goddess's guidance, we can make the right choice.

Is everyone setting out on a big campaign? Not exactly? Ah, so you're meeting up with the reinforcements.

Well, you can leave guarding this place to me! I'll keep an eye out for anything suspicious!

To the north of Garreg Mach lie the territories of the Charon and Galatea houses, former lords of the Kingdom.

Even though their territory is being nibbled at by the Empire, they are still clinging to their neutrality.

Since they only display enough force to defend their borders, I suppose the Empire has no incentive to attack them with any real strength.
Kingdom Knight

It seems Arianrhod, one of the Kingdom's sturdiest fortress cities, has fallen to the Empire.

It looks like Count Rowe didn't resist, and switched sides to the Empire straight away.

Repaying all that the royal family has done for him with betrayal... How shameful.

Not that it matters much. Taking on the whole damn Empire... Not even I would bet on those odds.



Well, yeah. If we don't, we'll die a terrible death. I've survived this long. I refuse to give up now.

You know... Win or lose, I guess it's not worth betting on. Who would I collect from after the war's over?

Some folks have made their home there. Obviously they all have their reasons and tales to tell.

But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.
Abysskeeper


Lots of things happen down here. Lots of reports need to be reported. And for all reportable things, I'm your guy.
Resident


We never dealt with them though. We refused their offers at every turn. Sometimes we had to use force.
