Cornelia! I have a report from our scouts.

Rodrigue
volume_up

The Imperial army that departed from Garreg Mach en route to the capital now appears be marching here.
link
Cornelia
volume_up

What did you just say?!
link
Rodrigue
volume_up

The speed of the army's movement quickens... They will be here to invade within days.
link
Rodrigue
volume_up

I just sent some of my troops to support the capital. It is likely to be a fierce fight...
link
Cornelia
volume_up

How could this be? I have not heard a thing about...
link
Cornelia
volume_up

Ah... I understand now. I am the target.

Rodrigue
volume_up

You? Are you sure they do not mean to take Arianrhod for strategic reasons?
link
Cornelia
volume_up

It would appear so from the outside. However, the circumstances are not that simple.
link
Cornelia
volume_up

And will you calm yourself? It will not be a fierce fight whatsoever.
link
Cornelia
volume_up

The sweet children I have prepared will protect Arianrhod well...

Arianrhod is a fortress city that was built about 400 years ago.

Hubert

Originally a base on the front lines of the battle against the Kingdom, it was built using Imperial money and technology.

Edelgard

However, the head of House Rowe secretly planned to betray the Empire.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

As the fortress neared completion, it was rebuilt as a base to defend against the Empire.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

When the fortress was completed, House Rowe declared its vassalage to the Kingdom.
link
Hubert

Since then, Arianrhod has never fallen. Not once.
link
Hubert
volume_up

The beautiful white walls that protect it against its enemies have earned it the nickname the Silver Maiden.
link
Hubert
volume_up

In the end, that is all it is to the Empire... the Silver Maiden stands as a bitter memory.
link
Petra
volume_up

We will now be destroying that memory. The past is the past. Now is now.

Caspar

A fortress that has never fallen?! Ooh, I can't wait to make it fall!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

How savage of you. And yet, I must say I agree with the sentiment.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Let us take the sturdy Arianrhod and continue our march against the Kingdom!
link
Bernadetta

An invincible fortress? Sounds perfect!
link
Linhardt

Unfortunately, it will soon no longer be invincible.

Linhardt

The Silver Maiden's iron skin is about to be damaged. It's sad, really.
link
Petra
volume_up

Is it silver or iron? Use your language with clarity, please.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Really, Lin. There must be a better way to say that.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Since we are attacking a heavily guarded place, we must take extra care to prevent allies from getting injured.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Thank you, everyone. I'm counting on all of you. Now, let's resume our advance.

Hubert

This battle is for the future of Fódlan...
