## Content

Schneider: "Our allies appear to be fighting!"

Lucilicca: "The imperial soldiers' resistance is fierce. They have a skilled commander."

"Lord": "We should hurry."

...

Dhurahan: "You're here! I knew I'd heard an uproar!"

Lairei: "The battle was starting to get heated. You came at just the right time!"

"Lord": "Your reinforcements have arrived!"

Dhurahan: "Glad to hear it! Warriors of the wildlands, give them all you've got!"

...

Joshua: "Ngh... We had the upper hand, and yet we've been driven back..."

Astrid: "You again?!"

Joshua: "I swear this time to fulfill the mission entrusted me by the emperor."

"Lord": "The enemy commander is using his psychic powers! Be careful!"

Lairei: "That won't work on me again! I will show you the power of the dragonkin."

Joshua: "Soldiers, fight to the death! Fight for the glory of the empire!"

Gallus Operative: "For the emperor!"

[The Avillon Alliance defeats Joshua]

Joshua: "Ngh... I failed... my mission. All forces, retreat! Fall back to Gallus!"

Fram: "He was a lot stronger this time! Did he get the emperor's blessing or whatever it's called?"

"Lord": "I felt him emit a wave of magic earlier. He must've sent his soldiers an order with his mind."

Joshua: "I'm the only one who needs to die here... They've done no wrong. I have no excuse this time. I admit defeat. However, do not confuse my defeat for the empire's defeat. You will witness the wrath of the emperor. Once His Majesty shows you his true power, it will already be too late."

Fram: "Ugh, you imperial types are all the same! It's so annoying!"

Helga: "It makes me curious about how great their emperor really is."

Joshua: "Heh, His Majesty is a demigod and the only one who can save this world. You won't be able to resist him..."

Charlotte: "Save the world? What do you mean?"

"Lord": "Hmmm... Johan, incarcerate their leaders. Use the magic-inhibiting handcuffs to keep them from moving."

Johan: "Yes, Your Highness."

Joshua: "Simply kill me if you plan on using me as a hostage. I've no more value to the empire."

Zaira: "Is you goal also to prove your worth?"

Joshua: "No, that is not what's important. I am but a tool of the empire. I can be replaced by any number of people, and that is why I have no value."

Mei Ling: "The imperial mindset is difficult to understand..."

"Lord": "Your individual value isn't determined by someone else. I hope we can continue talking later."

Joshua: "Heh, it's still not too late, you know. Kneel down before the emperor, and you will find true peace."

Helga: "Still singing the emperor's praises until the very end... Their obsession feels different from the trust and respect we have for Your Highness.

"Lord": "It feels different from simple brainwashing, too..."
