Exharme: The gates are closed. Shall we use the rocks to launch our attack?
Roland: I was thinking the same. We have no choice but to encircle an enemy with such tight defenses.
Serenoa: They knew we were coming—there is a chance they have soldiers lying in wait elsewhere.
Exharme: Certainly. We must keep a level head and careful eye on our surroundings at all times.
Sycras: Our opponents are strong and their resources many, but we must prevail—for home and hearth!
Sycras: Soldiers of Aesfrost, draw your swords! Today we fight for our freedom!
Serenoa: An ambush, as I suspected!
Sycras: Surround them! Let none escape!
Sycras: Minister Roland, allowing Hyzante their monopoly over salt gives them dominion of all Norzelia.
Roland: It's not a monopoly. They will oversee its fair distribution and spare those that war would otherwise take.
Sycras: Do you honestly think the zealots who treat the Roselle so inhumanely capable of "fairness"?
Roland: It is House Wolffort and I who will be responsible for that. If you cannot comprehend that, let our swords do the talking!
Rudolph: Ser Sycras, put yer sword away. I don't wanna hurt ye.
Rudolph: I'd hate to rob those poor kids of their father.
Sycras: I am a soldier of the duchy. There are more families than mine depending on me!
Sycras: Is it the will of the Goddess for children like you to see battle?
Piccoletta: We decided this together! I want to end this war, so that everyone can smile again!
Sycras: ...I see. You are not the only one who wishes so, child...
Sycras: Pitiful! You'll have to try harder if you wish to set foot in Aesfrost!
Sycras: We wager our lives for freedom! You will receive no mercy from us!
Sycras: Urgh... This fight will not be easily won...
Sycras: Stray strong, soldiers of Aesfrost! Remember all those who are counting on us!
Roland: Damn it...!
Exharme: Grk... To think I would be brought to my knees like this...!
Sycras: So this... is the end...
Sycras: I'm sorry, my children... I broke our promise...
