Pre Mission
- Rizette
- We've finally returned...
To the capital of Rigland...!
- Maxima
- Rizette. A happy reunion is all well and
good, but we ought to report.
- Rizette
- Ah... Right. It isn't good news,
but it bears listening to nonetheless.
- Rizette
- On our way here, we saw Bergarian troops
flying through the sky.
- Ludmilla
- The skies? An air force...
This spells trouble.
- Ludmilla
- Infantry with the mobility of flight...
We may be under siege soon.
- Astrid
- We must secure our borders. I will petition
the nobility for reserve troops, and—
- Boooom!
- Astrid
- What the...
What was that sound?!
- Red Dragon Knight
- R-reporting! An explosion has occurred
in the heart of the capital!
- Maxima
- Another Bergarian weapon? I hoped that
flight was the most of their capabilities...!
- Ludmilla
- Rizette, Princess Maxima.
It's good to see you are unharmed.
- Ludmilla
- I have a bad feeling about this. All troops,
assist our people! I'm taking the field!
- Astrid
- Wait!
Ludmilla, you can't go out like this.
- Ludmilla
- Until we see what this new weapon is, we
have no idea how best to fight it.
- Ludmilla
- If I can save even one soldier by holding
the rearguard, then I must.
- Astrid
- No, leave the tactics to our captains.
You should escape, Ludmilla.
- Ludmilla
- What...
What are you saying...?
- Astrid
- They won't let the Red Dragon Knights
escape. Including me, the "Hero of Erden".
- Astrid
- If we face them now, they will annihilate us.
Rigland's hope will be snuffed out.
- Astrid
- The best thing for us to do now is split up.
We must survive and plan our counterattack.
- Ludmilla
- I agree.
That's exactly why I will—
- Rizette
- You too, Marshal!
I'm so relieved!
- Astrid
- No, this is an order.
Flee, hide, and rest.
- Ludmilla
- ...You're serious, aren't you?
- Maxima
- I will rally the survivors in Hymelia. Once
that is settled, we will ride to your aid.
- Maxima
- I have taxed Volcana to her limit.
She needs time to recover.
- Vesh
- Then I shall accompany you.
- Maxima
- You...?
Do you not despise the Speaker of Flame?
- Vesh
- I do not care for thee, 'tis true. But now
is the time to put aside our differences.
- Vesh
- The spirits themselves are restless. For
Erden, we must needs work together.
- Maxima
- ...You are quite the frigid one.
- Rizette
- Theo and I will come with you, Astrid.
- Nagi
- Lady Ludmilla! Your proud and noble visage
is proof positive of your health!
- Theo
- You're more likely to survive with a healer.
We'll keep you safe, to our last breaths.
- Nagi
- Then I will protect Lady Ludmilla. Guarding
an injured ally is the duty of a knight!
- Ludmilla
- ...Astrid.
I'll go, too...!
- Astrid
- Enough, Ludmilla!
You will only slow us down!
- Ludmilla
- ...!
- Astrid
- I know how devoted you are. But you're in
no shape to fight! Do you think I am blind?!
- Ludmilla
- N-no, of course not! I can fight. I just—
Argh!
- Astrid
- ...The day will come when we need your
strength alongside ours.
- Astrid
- When that time comes, I pray you will join
us. We'll be waiting.
- Ludmilla
- ...
...Understood...
- Astrid
- I'm so glad we could all regroup unharmed.
All thanks to Vesh.
- Vesh
- Erm...
I am ill at ease in the settlements of man.
- Astrid
- How long have you traveled with us already?
You must get used to it!
- Rizette
- Nagi, Astrid, and Vesh, too?
Thank goodness you're all safe.
- Ludmilla
- Mysha and Elmina are looking for Ga'Luga.
Let's wait for, hopefully, good news.
