Capturing Derdriu

It's been fun, Claude... Sorry to go so soon...

Hilda falls in battle.

It's been fun, Claude... Sorry to go so soon...

Nader falls in battle.

Sorry, kiddo. It seems we'll have to withdraw...

Here she comes, at long last... I've done all I can to prepare.

Let the cards fall where they may. It'll be a true test of strength.

It seems Claude has blockaded the city and occupied the naval port.

Heh. If that is the case, he will have no choice but to engage us from there.

Yes. Though putting myself in Claude's place leaves me with an unpleasant feeling...

If we take over the port and close the entry to the city, Derdriu will be under our control.

Each soldier should bear that in mind as they advance.

There are three gates which connect Derdriu to its naval port.

Taking the city will be easy once we secure all three.

Enemies are meeting Alliance reinforcements in front of the gates that lead to Derdriu. Defeat the enemies in front of the gates to stall the reinforcements!

Now it's our turn, Almyra's elite! Strike the flanks of the Imperial army!

Those fangs and claws the Alliance fears so much will now be their salvation!

Leave it to us, kiddo! My undefeated streak will live on. Another chapter in my heroic saga!

That flag and banner... Is that the Almyran army? Ugh, you really did it, Claude!

This is no ruse. That is Nader, an Almyran general.

Take care of them quickly! Especially those Almyran wyverns!

Alliance reinforcements have arrived from the city of Derdriu! Defeat the enemy in front of the gates, and put a stop to the reinforcements.

You've done enough, Nader. Just stay alive. We'll meet again one day!

We have forced the Almyran forces to flee. I doubt they're expecting more reinforcements.

The Almyran reinforcements keep coming. We should try to eliminate Nader...

Villager

We don't have the guts to resist anymore!

Villager

Here...you can have this! Just please don't attack the city!

I never planned to touch the city. Our target is the Alliance and their leader, Claude.

Hilda! Why didn't you retreat?! I counted on you retreating...

That's the last of my energy... If you're gonna kill me, make it quick.

Fair warning though, I'll likely come back to haunt you. It's not like I've had an easy time of it, after all...

Kill
Will you spare %s1?

You...want me to join you?

Father, Mother... I'm sorry I didn't listen to you...

The Alliance is over no matter what. The only thing left is to place faith in you and Edelgard.

There's still so much I have to accomplish. Thank you for the second chance, Professor.

Enough! You've bested me. If I die here, the Alliance becomes part of the Empire.

Do you yield, then? You've never known when to give up.

Well, I can't just surrender so easily. I'm responsible for the others.

If you're as smart as you seem, I bet you've figured out why I was able to summon Almyran reinforcements.

Wouldn't it be better to let me go and have me in your debt?

Spare
Kill

Thank you, Professor. And you, Edelgard. I'm truly grateful for your courageous decision.

I see. Right until the very end, I've read this whole thing terribly wrong...

The plan's not working... The fate of the Leicester Alliance, and all of my dreams, have fallen to ash...

It's all up to you now, Edelgard... I hope you really do make the world...better...

All my hopes have fallen to ash...

It's all up to you now, Edelgard... I hope you really do make the world...better...

I will return your kindness one day... I promise.

I will return your kindness one day... I promise.

Everybody! Raise your voices in a victory cheer! Derdriu is ours!

Battle Dialog

Attack: Byleth - Claude

Teach... You should have chosen me instead of Edelgard.

No point in whining about it now, I suppose. Sorry, but I'll be taking the win today.

Attack: Byleth - Hilda

Professor! It's been too long. But now we're on opposite sides, huh? What a shame.

I'm not going to hold back. I can't let down my dear old Claude.

Attack: Byleth - Lysithea

You are here as well, Professor? That is a shame...

Attack: Edelgard - Claude

We haven't seen each other since Garreg Mach. You've grown lovelier than ever, Edelgard.

You're not so unfortunate yourself. And as usual, you're here at a most inopportune moment.

Well, I'm sure we have much to talk about... But how about we settle things first?

No objections here. Prepare yourself, Claude.

Attack: Marianne - Hilda

Marianne

I-I'm so sorry, Hilda. I...

It's OK, Marianne. These things happen in war.

Attack: Edelgard - Lysithea

Lysithea. How unfortunate that a talented woman like you should throw her life away on a pointless battle.

Ha, do not underestimate me. The fight is far from over, Edelgard!

Attack: Enemy Units - Claude

Heh... So sad that our reunion should take place on the battlefield.

Attack: Enemy Units - Nader

It's been 30-odd years since I first set foot on a field of battle. Here's a taste of my undefeated strength!

Attack: Enemy Units - Hilda

You didn't forget about me, did you? Maybe you should just let me go.

Attack: Enemy Units - Lysithea

Don't expect me to go easy on you. Because I won't.

Attack: Edelgard - Nader

The emperor continues fighting at the front line. Is the Empire short on troops?

Unfortunately, I can't deny it. But then, I've heard the Almyran king does the very same.

You have traveled far. I do hope it's for a king who would not only lead his army but fight at their side.

Touché... Yes, he is that sort of king!

Attack: Jeritza - Claude

Hey, how long's it been? Five years? Who'd have thought you'd end up an Imperial general...

Attack: Balthus - Hilda

Back off, Hilda. Holst wouldn't want this.

No, Baltie, you back off. I'm right where I wanna be.

If you kill me here, I won't be the one my brother holds responsible.

If that happens, offering my life is the least I can do to make it up to him. That...and bringing you home.

Attack: Balthus - Enemy Units

Ugh, you're here too? You aren't gonna make this easy on me, are you, little lady?

You think you stand a chance against me? However you feel, I won't stand down.

No way, pal. I won't kill you... Hey, Professor! Persuade this one to join our side later, yeah?

Attack: Balthus - Enemy Units

Gah, you're here too? You aren't going to make this easy on me, are you, little lady?

If you're worried about your debt to my parents, you'll have to contend with them. I can't help you now.
