Somehow we managed to capture the Great Bridge of Myrddin.

To see the Imperial army hold its ground until every last soldier fell... That is true dedication.

It is clear that Edelgard is not some cruel emperor who holds her people in a vice-like grip. There is something more driving our foes.

From here on out, our journey will not be an easy one...

Excuse me, sir! Gilbert is here!

Gilbert?! What was he doing all this time?

We had better go and meet with him.

So, you've captured the Great Bridge of Myrddin. I'm impressed that you were able to break through their defenses.

Save your praise, Gilbert. Let's get to the heart of the matter. Why are you here? Why now?

Gilbert

I am once again in the service of Dimitri.

Gilbert
volume_up

He was in hiding in Fraldarius territory, where he was biding his time for a counteroffensive.

Seteth

Dimitri is alive?!
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Yes. He was to be executed in Fhirdiad, but Dedue stepped forward to rescue him.
link
Gilbert

I am here today by command of Dimitri himself.

Gilbert

We realize that our enemies are the same... and that it may be advantageous to join forces.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I see. I shall hear you out.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

We are preparing to advance against the Empire.
link
Gilbert

Will you join us as we march toward the Imperial capital?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

If that is too much to ask, then at least allow us to freely cross the Great Bridge of Myrddin.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Hold a moment. We have just finished a fierce battle, and our forces are few.
link
Seteth
volume_up

To march straight for the main body of the Imperial army and challenge them? It is too soon.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I am happy to allow safe passage over the bridge, but to lend our aid asks too much of us. Is that not so?
link
Seteth
volume_up

Agreed. We have just finished a fierce battle, and our forces are few.
link
Seteth

To march straight for the main body of the Imperial army and challenge them? It is too soon.
link
Seteth

If you would be willing to wait a few months, we might be able to offer something more.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I am afraid His Highness is not able to stop his advance...
link
Seteth
volume_up

If that is the case, I am afraid we cannot join you. Please, send our regards to Dimitri.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I understand. It's unfortunate that we were not able to secure the help of the Knights of Seiros.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Still, I'm grateful that we can cross the Great Bridge of Myrddin safely. Thank you for that.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

This will be a fight to the death. It is highly likely that we will meet our end.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I wish you both the best of luck in the battles ahead.

And may the goddess protect you as well.
