Ah, here you are, Edelgard...at your eternal resting place.

You have trampled and stolen and blinded yourself to the truth.
Dimitri
volume_up

Today, I will have vengeance for all you have done!
Edelgard
volume_up

With this battle, the main force of the Kingdom will be annihilated!
Edelgard
volume_up

Leave no enemy general alive. Least of all King Dimitri!

Hubert
volume_up

We are uncertain of the enemy's plans, so let us advance our troops with caution.
Hubert

The Knights of Seiros have yet to show themselves.
Hubert

They will join the battle at some point. Be ready.

Sylvain
volume_up

Time to join the front lines. We should all show a little loyalty from time to time, yeah?

Sylvain

Don't let this chance for vengeance go to waste!

What the— That Kingdom soldier just changed into a Demonic Beast. Did Thales...
Hubert
volume_up

No. This is something simpler.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

This is the work of a Crest Stone... But why...
Dedue
volume_up

I gave them Crest Stones from the castle vaults.
Dimitri
volume_up

You fool! Why did you do that?
Dedue
volume_up

If we lose here, the Kingdom falls. It's our only hope.
Dimitri
volume_up

You call this hope?! Well, we must now claim victory so their deaths were not in vain.
Dedue
volume_up

Yes, Your Majesty. I am with you.
link
Hubert
volume_up

This battle may turn against us if we allow any more of them to transform.
Hubert
volume_up

We don't know which soldiers have Crest Stones. We must do away with all of them, and quickly!

Kingdom General
volume_up

Gautier reinforcements have arrived! We shall crush the Empire weaklings!

Don't worry, everyone! The reinforcements have arrived!
Edelgard

Reinforcements... We're in danger. We must defeat the enemy's generals before we're overwhelmed.

How could I be late, when I finally have the opportunity to destroy the fallen one?

This rain...it is the lamentation of my mother...

Observe. I shall not fail in restoring balance.

Rhea

I lost to that thief?!
Rhea
volume_up

Unacceptable!
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

Watch out, Lady Rhea! Please retreat!
Rhea
volume_up

Gyhh!
Dimitri
volume_up

The Church of Seiros has fallen back, but we have no such luxury.
Dimitri

Everyone, fight for your lives! Victory to Faerghus!

Forgive me, Mercedes. Were it not for me, you wouldn't have gotten caught up in all this, and you might still be alive...

So...this is how it ends.

Sylvain

Forgive me, Your Majesty. I'm...going on...ahead.

Fall back, Your Majesty! We cannot lose you!

No... It can't be... There is no retreat for the Knights of Seiros!

volume_up

It is time.
Dedue
volume_up

Your Majesty... I will avenge your father.

volume_up

You are the one true king...Dimitri.

Grr... Grrrr!

volume_up

Dedue! I will fight by your side until the bitter end...
Dimitri
volume_up

As long as I am with you, this lance of mine will know nothing of defeat!

Battle Dialog

link

Attack: Byleth - Rhea

Rhea
volume_up

I once walked this world as Seiros, the warrior... and defeated the Fell King Nemesis.
Rhea
volume_up

Now, here I stand, facing one who wields the same sword as he...
Rhea
volume_up

The fate you have chosen is also the same as his... To die in torment upon my sword, as the very lifeblood you have forsaken spills onto the earth!
link

Attack: Edelgard - Rhea

Rhea
volume_up

An ancestor of the Hresvelgs, who became Adrestia's first emperor...
Rhea
volume_up

He saved me. Supported me. Gave his all to the cause of defeating Nemesis.
Rhea
volume_up

That I should find myself here at Tailtean, striking down his scion...
Edelgard
volume_up

I don't advise presumptions, Rhea. I will not die by your hand.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Rhea

Rhea
volume_up

You are all damned, with no hope of salvation. For the sin of insurgency, you shall be consigned to hell!
link

Attack: Byleth - Dimitri

Dimitri
volume_up

Why did you choose Edelgard, Professor? Why did you choose to walk this savage, bloody path?
Dimitri
volume_up

I cannot shake this feeling of regret... Regret that I must kill you now.
link

Attack: Edelgard - Dimitri

Dimitri
volume_up

Must you continue to conquer? Continue to kill?
Edelgard
volume_up

Must you continue to reconquer? Continue to kill in retaliation?
Edelgard
volume_up

I will not stop. There is nothing I would not sacrifice to cut a path to Fódlan's new dawn!
Dimitri
volume_up

Enough of this madness! This future of yours is built on a foundation of corpses and tears!
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Dimitri

Dimitri
volume_up

Not only have you become the emperor's lap dog, but you have turned against your own people.
Dimitri
volume_up

From the depths of hell, you will regret tainting the land of Faerghus!
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Dimitri

Dimitri
volume_up

You will not kill one more soul. You will not steal one more thing. I will not allow it.
Dimitri
volume_up

Here and now, I stand against you!
link

Attack: Felix - Dimitri

Dimitri
volume_up

You killed Rodrigue...your own father, Felix.
Felix
volume_up

I said I'd cut down anyone who stood in my way.
Felix
volume_up

Even my father. Even my friends.
Dimitri
volume_up

I see. That was all I needed to hear to finally work up the resolve to kill you.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Sylvain

Sylvain
volume_up

Professor! Has it really been five years? We ought to raise a glass to the occasion. Celebrate your return.
Sylvain
volume_up

Nah, I'd rather commemorate it with your death.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Sylvain

Sylvain
volume_up

Professor, there's something I should admit. I've got some regrets about how our lives have gone.
Sylvain
volume_up

I should have made a proper attempt to woo you before now. Instead, I have to kill you.
link

Attack: Ingrid - Sylvain

Sylvain
volume_up

Stand down, Ingrid. I know you don't want to die here.
Ingrid
volume_up

I will not. I'll never ally myself with the likes of you.
Sylvain
volume_up

Stubborn as ever. I always did like that about you.
Ingrid
volume_up

And you never cease to amaze me with your false flattery. Don't waste your breath.
link

Attack: Felix - Sylvain

Sylvain
volume_up

Hey, Felix? Remember when we were kids and we made a promise about dying together?
Felix
volume_up

I remember.
Sylvain
volume_up

Well, seems we're about to kill each other.
Felix
volume_up

Sorry, Sylvain. You'll die first.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Sylvain

Sylvain
volume_up

So what are you waiting for? Let's finish this today.
link

Attack: Byleth - Mercedes

Mercedes
volume_up

I'm sorry, Professor. I can't join you...
Mercedes
volume_up

There are important things I must stay and protect.
link

Attack: Annette - Mercedes

Annette
volume_up

Mercie...
Mercedes
volume_up

Now, now, Annie. There's no need for that. This is a battlefield, after all.
Annette
volume_up

I'm so sorry... You know that, don't you? And also know that you don't have to forgive me...
Mercedes
volume_up

I was going to say the same thing. I'm so sorry if I cause you any pain.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Mercedes

Mercedes
volume_up

It makes me so sad to fight against you, but I suppose that's how things go when you're at war.
Mercedes
volume_up

Why follow an emperor who would start such a war?
link

Attack: Byleth - Dedue

Dedue
volume_up

It is a shame.
Dedue
volume_up

I really believed you would come to appreciate His Majesty's perspective.
link

Attack: Enemy Units - Dedue

Dedue
volume_up

You will never understand the burden His Majesty carries on his shoulders!
link

Attack: Jeritza - Mercedes

Jeritza
volume_up

Step back, Mercedes.
Mercedes
volume_up

I won't. This is the path I have chosen. It's the same for you too, Emile. Is it not?
Mercedes
volume_up

Someday, we may meet again in another life. Whenever that happens, I hope that we'll remain side by side, always...
Jeritza
volume_up

My dear sister... I am sorry.
link

Attack: Constance - Mercedes

Constance
volume_up

I cannot accept this! How dare they pit us against each other!
Mercedes
volume_up

Then you should retreat, Constance. You know that I feel the same... I don't want to have to kill you.
Constance
volume_up

I am sorry. There are things that I must see through, even if it means striking you down!
Mercedes
volume_up

And so it is. We cannot go back to how things once were...
