They fight in a bloody battle, take countless lives, and then finally come to understand defeat.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/406/0.png)
They refuse to admit when they're beaten, and they keep it up until they've been utterly defeated.

But if they're going to surrender after being defeated anyway, why raise a weapon in the first place?

Ah, so you do think about such questions. You can never find answers though, right?
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/438/0.png)
We cannot turn back time, so there is no way to go back and try a different path.

I never do get used to the sight of blood. It always makes me feel as if I might faint.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/441/0.png)
I hope this war ends soon. I dislike being lightheaded because other people are bleeding everywhere.

Claude... Claude... Which one was he again? Oh! Right. Yeah, of course I remember him.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/455/0.png)
It's just... I can't picture his face. Don't remember what he looks like. I'm not sure if I ever knew.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/458/0.png)
Oh well. He's just another enemy now, isn't he? What, am I not supposed to say that?!
Dorothea
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/462/0.png)
I'm happy when we win battles, and I'm always relieved when our friends make it back safe.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/464/0.png)
On the other hand, it's hard to watch the enemy die. Even worse when it's someone you know.

Now you just have to lead us to victory so everyone else can let go of their regrets too.

Now that we've seized the Great Bridge of Myrddin, House Gloucester is comfortable aligning itself with the Empire.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/519/0.png)
The path to Riegan lands lies straight before us. Our clash with Claude draws nearer by the moment.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/519/0.png)
Not at all. On the contrary, I look forward to it. My old rival will be a worthy test for me.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/518/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/519/0.png)
I certainly hope so. I would be quite disappointed if my greatest rival were to simply roll over.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/518/0.png)
I know Claude better than anyone. He is a schemer. No doubt he has some trap for us in mind.

Raphael

We're gonna go up against Claude next? I haven't seen him in forever. Wonder how he's been...
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/527/0.png)
I chose this side because I believe in you, Professor. But it's not like I got anything against Claude.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/525/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/524/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/525/0.png)
Of course! Claude was the kinda person who would be instantly friends with anyone.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/527/0.png)
I don't mind so much that we gotta fight him, I just hope he doesn't get killed...

Without the support of the pro-Imperialist lords, the Alliance is greatly weakened.

![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/537/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/537/0.png)
We can't—you're right. Claude has such unusual strategies for toying with his enemies.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/537/0.png)
Even so, we should stay alert. Claude won't be caught off guard. Neither should we.

Professor, I think you should be made aware of a certain group working with the Imperial army.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/177/0.png)
They are the same lot that invented a technique to turn monsters into war assets.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/177/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/180/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/180/0.png)
I suppose I need to better understand what kind of people they are. Who are they? What do they want?
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/180/0.png)
For her part, Miss Edelgard is cooperating, yet does not hide her hostility towards them.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/180/0.png)
I suspect we should prepare in case the day should come when we must combat these strange people.
Manuela

Remember the Death Knight who stabbed me five years ago? Of course you do. How could you forget?
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/183/0.png)
Well, it turns out he's a general in the Imperial army! He leads the western front against the Kingdom.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/185/0.png)
Once I knew he was at Garreg Mach, I stormed right up to him, told him who I was, and what he did...
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/186/0.png)
And he offered me an apology. I'm talking about a sincere, heartfelt, solemn apology. What a letdown.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/186/0.png)

It doesn't look like you're wounded or anything. You just looking for...someone to talk to?
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/184/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/184/0.png)
Come on now, you don't have to be shy. Helping you feel better is important to me.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/184/0.png)
Whether it's physical pain or worries of the heart, you can come to me for anything, Professor.

Five years ago, during the attack on this place, you allowed me to join your side.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/368/0.png)
Since then I've risen through the ranks, and now I'm a general leading my own army.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/367/0.png)
In this invasion of the Alliance, I've been entrusted with maintaining the supply lines and keeping the Goneril territories under control.

It's a beautiful town with streets that seem to float on the water and an impressive harbor.

In times of peace, it would be a wonderful place for a holiday... Anyway! Best of luck in the next battle!

To tell you the truth, I used to be a Knight of Seiros. But at some point, I just couldn't follow the archbishop anymore.

When I found Alois here, it made me feel much better. It meant I'd made the right decision.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/679/0.png)
Ever since that day you disappeared, the archbishop has been completely different.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/679/0.png)
She started laughing as if she was possessed and spouting complete gibberish...

Things we can't obtain here are likely obtainable by way of the underground.

Are you unfamiliar with Garreg Mach's underground? The place is an absolute paradise for those who can't stay above ground.

If you travel east from the Alliance and cross Fódlan's Throat, you enter the land of Almyra.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/757/0.png)
House Goneril's territory touches the eastern border of the Alliance. They also have Lord Holst, the most valiant warrior in the Alliance.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/757/0.png)
Tasked with keeping watch over the Almyrans' movements, he rarely leaves Goneril territory.

I figured I'd have a look at how the Kingdom is holding up while I was on the road, so I took a trip up north despite the cold.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/619/0.png)
But the borders were closed on every road. I wasn't even able to get into the Kingdom.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/619/0.png)
Every crossing point was guarded by grim-looking, armed soldiers. It was all very imposing.

Five years ago, most of the people involved with the church in the Empire moved to the Eastern Church in Alliance territory.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/851/0.png)
I've been hearing rumors that the majority of those have now gone to the Kingdom Capital, Fhirdiad.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/851/0.png)
The Eastern Church has no military force of its own, so they must be sensing that the Alliance is weak and fleeing.

In order to defeat a formidable foe, you must first learn who they are. How much do you know about the Alliance?

About 300 years ago, the Alliance was still part of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, you see.

But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.
