Good work, Hilda! You didn't do much manual labor, but you managed to rope the knights into helping us restore the monastery.

Thanks, Claude, but all I did was piggyback on your scheme. I saw your eyes telling me to make some magic happen!

We appreciate your assistance with the restoration of the monastery.

Oh please, it was nothing! We're just doing our part as former students.

I'm told you even routed the bandits. That job should have fallen to us. I'm sorry for the trouble.

I'm told you even routed the bandits. I'm sorry... That should have been our job.

Hey, don't think twice about it. We're all allies in the resistance against the Empire, right?

Catherine

The church is at war with the Empire, but let's be realistic. Wouldn't it be better for the Alliance to eventually submit?

Knight of Seiros

The church is at war with the Empire, but the Alliance is a different matter. Wouldn't it be better to avoid getting involved?
link
Claude
volume_up

The way I see it, the emperor wants to take over all of Fódlan and destroy the existing order of the world.
link
Claude
volume_up

I can't see her allowing the Alliance to continue to exist. We're in this just as deeply as you are.
link
Claude
volume_up

Actually... We were hoping to use this place as a base. The Empire begs to be meddled with, and we're first in line.
link
Alois
volume_up

What? Why would you want to make your base here of all places?
link
Knight of Seiros

Why would you make your base here?

Claude

Garreg Mach is situated in the center of Fódlan, both geographically and spiritually.
link
Claude
volume_up

We want to secure this location while the Empire is still overlooking it.
link
Catherine
volume_up

I see. The Empire doesn't see this place as important at the moment because it's far from the front lines.
link
Claude
volume_up

But if we simply decide that it's ours to occupy, that does nothing to inspire the hearts and minds of the people of Fódlan.

Claude

Luckily, good ol' Teach has finally returned to us.

Claude
volume_up

If the professor Rhea entrusted with the Sword of the Creator fights at our side... Well now. That's a just cause anyone could get behind.
link
Claude
volume_up

What's more, here we are, working alongside the legendary Knights of Seiros. It smacks of divine providence, doesn't it? Can you feel it?
link
Seteth
volume_up

I have heard what you have to say, Claude. And you, Professor? Where do you stand?
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

We've heard from Claude...but where do you stand?
link
Seteth
volume_up

Hm. On our own, we lack sufficient military strength. But with the help of the Alliance...
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

I see. We don't have enough military strength on our own, but with the help of the Alliance...
link
Seteth
volume_up

Hm. We are at a relative standstill, but with the help of the Alliance...
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

We were at a standstill, but with the help of the Alliance...
link
Seteth
volume_up

The archbishop said if anything should happen to her, that we should entrust the affairs of the church to you.
link
Seteth
volume_up

If you intend to fight alongside the Alliance, then I will follow you as well.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Is that acceptable, Claude?
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

Her Grace made it clear that, in her absence, we should entrust the affairs of the church to you.
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

If you wish to act alongside the Alliance, then the knights will follow you as well.
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

Is that OK, Claude?
link
Claude
volume_up

Of course. I can't think of anything more reassuring than having both Teach and the knights on our side.
link
Claude
volume_up

Together, we'll stop the emperor and her reckless ambitions!
