Insurmountable: Before Battle

link
Edelgard enters the scene

There... We must rethink the supply route now that the battle lines have moved.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

This one will be Hubert...and Count Bergliez will oversee this force here...
link
Byleth enters the scene
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Ah, Professor... Is something wrong? Sorry, I thought I had a bit more time before the council meeting.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

True. Though ideally, I'd like to hand off anything I can to my subordinates.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But while we're on the front lines, I can't help but worry about every little thing.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

No bother at all, but I'm afraid I'm not quite finished here.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Still, I'm happy to see you. Your presence lightens my mood a great deal.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Now, let's see...
link
Hubert enters the scene
link
Hubert
volume_up

Pardon, Your Majesty. An urgent matter.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

What's happened?
link
Hubert
volume_up

There is an army from Almyra at Fódlan's Throat. Reports indicate it is of appreciable size.
link
Fódlan's Throat?
link
Hubert
volume_up

A steep mountain range runs along the border between Fódlan and Almyra.
link
Hubert
volume_up

That mountain range is called Fódlan's Throat.
link
Hubert
volume_up

The sturdy fortress built within those mountains is called Fódlan's Locket.
link
Hubert
volume_up

It occupies the sole path through.
link
Hubert
volume_up

The church and the Alliance nobles built the Locket to safeguard against Almyran invasion.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Normally, House Goneril watches over the fortress. In times of trouble, the lords join together to protect it.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But I assume it would be too difficult to defend against this incursion with only the troops of Goneril...
link
Hubert
volume_up

The situation has been precarious for House Goneril since Holst fell ill.
link
Hubert
volume_up

The heir to House Goneril, renowned for his bravery. He is Hilda's elder brother.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Holst is a formidable commander. It's only logical that House Goneril would struggle in his absence.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

The Alliance has shattered. They can't request soldiers from the surrounding lords.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

And the Imperial troops stationed there can't be relocated so easily.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

The best course of action is for us to go out there and deal with this ourselves.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

It's critical for us to protect that location. This is our chance to prove that we won't allow it to fall.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Yes. It is to the benefit of our future governance not to abandon it.
link
Hubert
volume_up

It seems this must be done. Will you assist us?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

We'll depart after you finish making preparations. Move swiftly. We must move before the Almyran army crosses the Throat.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Yes... Preparations must still be made. We'll wait a bit longer.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

If you're not going to join us, we'll take those who are able and willing. Don't worry about it.
