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

Nader falls in battle.

Nader
volume_up

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

link
Claude
volume_up

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

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

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

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

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

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

Each soldier should bear that in mind as they advance.
link
Hubert
volume_up

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

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!
link
Claude
volume_up

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Claude
volume_up

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

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

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

We don't have the guts to resist anymore!
Villager
volume_up

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

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

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

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

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...
Lysithea
volume_up

You...want me to join you?
Lysithea
volume_up

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All my hopes have fallen to ash...
Claude
volume_up

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

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

Claude
volume_up

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

Edelgard
volume_up

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

Battle Dialog

Attack: Byleth - Claude

Claude
volume_up

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

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

Attack: Byleth - Hilda

Hilda
volume_up

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

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

Attack: Byleth - Lysithea

Lysithea
volume_up

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

Attack: Edelgard - Claude

Claude
volume_up

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

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

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

No objections here. Prepare yourself, Claude.
link

Attack: Marianne - Hilda

Marianne
volume_up

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

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

Attack: Edelgard - Lysithea

Edelgard
volume_up

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

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

Attack: Enemy Units - Claude

Claude
volume_up

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

Attack: Enemy Units - Nader

Nader
volume_up

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

Attack: Enemy Units - Hilda

Hilda
volume_up

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

Attack: Enemy Units - Lysithea

Lysithea
volume_up

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

Attack: Edelgard - Nader

Nader
volume_up

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

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

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

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

Attack: Jeritza - Claude

Claude
volume_up

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

Attack: Balthus - Hilda

Balthus
volume_up

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

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

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

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

Attack: Balthus - Enemy Units

Balthus
volume_up

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

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

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

Attack: Balthus - Enemy Units

Balthus
volume_up

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

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

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