The Impregnable Fortress

Dimitri

We will finally have our decisive battle with the Empire this month.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

The eastern lords are in the process of consolidating all of the troops within the entire Kingdom.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

In addition, ever since Arianrhod's liberation, the western lords have been declaring their fealty one after another.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

There are still some lords in the west who side with the Empire, but I believe it is only a matter of time before they surrender.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Affairs within the Kingdom have calmed down considerably, and we even managed to win over the Alliance.
link
Annette
volume_up

Although it was a rough go at first, I'm starting to feel like we could actually win this!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

That's true! Thinking back on it now, we've really come a long way.
link
Seteth
volume_up

We even have a lead as to where Rhea is located. It is as we predicted all along.
link
Seteth

If we are to rescue Rhea, then we must defeat the emperor...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Um, if we're going to march from the monastery to Enbarr, then we'll have to cross the Great Bridge of Myrddin again, right?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Which route should we take? The Great Bridge of Myrddin?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Yes, I believe so. As we have gained the Alliance's support, we should not have any trouble this time.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

After the bridge, we can cross Gronder Field and head south.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

And then we'll take Merceus, the so-called impregnable fortress that towers on the other side.
link
An impregnable fortress?
link
Ashe
volume_up

Fort Merceus... I know of it. They say it rivals even Arianrhod.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Fort Merceus is praised as the strongest in the Empire.

Fort Merceus is praised as the strongest in the Empire.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Count Bergliez, the Empire's Minister of Military Affairs, once had troops stationed there.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

But according to our spies, a large-scale military force has entered the stronghold.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Perhaps they are gathering soldiers from various regions to compensate for their losses.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

If we try to avoid it, those troops will follow us and attack from the rear. It is best for us to handle the situation head-on.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It is unlike you to worry so. But I feel we have no choice but to strip that place of its "impregnable" reputation.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Once we take Fort Merceus, Enbarr will be within reach. This is the Empire's last chance to stop us from arriving at our goal.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

In other words, if we take this fort, then our blades will be at the emperor's throat in no time.
link
Ashe
volume_up

If this is the last fort between us and them, then the emperor will likely do everything she can to strengthen its defenses.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

We can safely assume that Edelgard is strengthening her defenses to the best of her ability.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I just received a report on that very subject. The one commanding the troops stationed at Fort Merceus is someone we have crossed blades with many times.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It is the Death Knight who awaits us there.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh... So that's who we'll be battling...
link
Mercedes

Emile...
