3 Chapter 1: Laguz and Beorc
Before Battle (Laguz Alliance Camp)
Ranulf
Now, our next target is Mugill. Its gate is already
sealed, and it looks like they intend to keep it that way. This won't
go as easily as our battle in Flaguerre.
Skrimir
Yaawwwwn... Beorc are all the same. We will run them down, just as
before.
Ranulf
Skrimir, please... Listen. Just this once.
Ike
What do you think, Soren?
Soren
The Flaguerre survivors will have warned Mugill of our
advance. That's so obvious, even you must have anticipated it. You
don't have a plan?
Skrimir
Do not mock me, beorc boy. Why should I bother with
plans? No soldier would cower behind stone walls after being challenged
to a battle! We will issue a challenge, and they will meet it. We have
no need for plans!
Soren
Do you realize how completely absurd you sound? The
enemy did not build the fortress so they could stand outside of it.
They will not come out of their own accord.
Skrimir
But-- Those beorc cowards! They will hide from us?! What do we do? I do
not know how to fight cowards!
Ranulf
Don't you get it? That's what we're trying to decide! Think, Skrimir.
Just try.
Skrimir
No! That's your job, Ranulf! You're my second in
command. Think of a way for me to use my strength! Anything else is a
waste of time. I'll be training outside. Tell me when you have a plan.
Ranulf
Wait, Skrimir!
(Skrimir leaves)
Soren
...This is ridiculous. I'm amazed that someone was desperate enough to
make that fool a general.
Ranulf
I'm tempted to agree with you on that. But there's a reason he's here.

Ranulf
Never in its history has Gallia invaded another
country. We don't have any experience or tactics to fall back on for
this. On top of that, our general... Well, you've seen it yourself.
Skrimir... He doesn't pay attention to details, nor does he strategize.
Sadly, it's not just Skrimir. Most laguz are the same. They're arrogant
and stubborn. It doesn't even occur to them that they won't be able to
power through the beorc forever.
Ike
Why isn't Caineghis leading the army?
Ranulf
It's not an option. We aren't mobile like the bird
tribes. Once we leave our lands, it isn't easy for us to get back. We
can't take our king away from his domain.
Ike
Well, what about Giffca, then? There have to be other capable generals
in Gallia.
Ranulf
Yeah, you'd think General Giffca would lead, but... Giffca has other
duties to attend to, so really, that just leaves Skrimir.
Soren
I understand. Laguz choose their leaders based on
strength. If Skrimir is to be the next king, this war is the best
opportunity for him to learn about strategy.
Ranulf
Exactly. Since that's the case, we need all the help
we can get. Please, lend us your wisdom. Without your help, this war's
outcome is certain.
Ike
You can count on us, Ranulf.
Ike
We've told you already. We're here to help.
Soren
...
Ike
Soren, say something!
Ranulf
Well, well. Looks like your strategist isn't fond of laguz just yet.
Ike
I'm sorry, Ranulf. He's gotten better, but...
Ike
Soren, Ranulf helped us out. On top of that, he's our
client. It's our turn to return the favor, and our job to do it right.
Got that?
Soren
...Fine. But it'll cost you more.
Ranulf
Thanks, all of you. We appreciate the help.
Soren
Give me some time to myself. I'll come up with a plan to get us through
this mess.
Ike
Great. We're counting on you, Soren.
Soren
I know. I'll do what I can.
Before Battle (Mugill)
Begnion Soldier 1
Tch! These sub-humans don't know how much trouble they're causing! We
can't go anywhere!
Begnion Soldier 2
Tell me about it. Just yesterday, we could've gone out for drinks and
had ourselves a merry old time.
Begnion Soldier 1
Fortunately, we have enough food. They'll give up if we hold out long
enough.
(Mist and others appear)
Mist
Um... Sorry we're late!
Begnion Soldier 2
Who are you? Why are you outside? The city is under lockdown! You need
permission to leave your homes!
Mist
What? Well, that's weird. We were told to hand out food to all the
watchmen.
Begnion Soldier 2
Wh-what?
(Mist and the others discuss with one another)
Mist
Well, I guess this isn't the place. Should we head back? We don't want
the food to spoil...
Begnion Soldier 2
W-wait! Don't go!
Begnion Soldier 2
You don't have to head back. That food is for us. We're sure of it!
Mist
Oh, wonderful! Would you call everyone, then? I'll pass out the food
and drinks.
(Focus moves to Greil's mercenaries)
Ike
Looks like the watchmen are all asleep. Great job, everyone.
Soren
The first step is done. Next, we clear out the remaining guards and
open the main gate.
Ike
Ranulf and his troops are waiting outside for us. Let's go!
(Focus moves to Begnion)
Begnion Soldier 1
Wh-who are you?!
Begnion Soldier
Sub-humans! What's going on?! What happened to the lookout?!
Rommit
Stand your ground! Our reinforcements will be here soon. Hold fast
until they arrive!
(Battle ends)
Ike
Are we clear? Good work, everyone. Open the gate!
After Battle (Mugill)
Gallian Soldier 1
The gate is opening!
Skrimir
Ah, finally! Soldiers of Gallia! Follow me! As long
as I lead you in battle, we will always win! Crush any who stand in
your way!
Ranulf
...Phew. Great timing, Ike.
After Battle (Laguz Alliance Camp)
Ranulf
We won last night's battle thanks to you guys. I appreciate your help.
Ike
You should be thanking Soren. It was all his idea.
Ranulf
Yeah, I'll get right on that. ...Hey, I just remembered. Some of your
old friends are here to see you.
Ike
Hm?
???
Hey! Over here! Long time no see, Commander Ike.
Ike
Muston! You came!
Muston
It's great to be doing business with the Greil Mercenaries again. And
with you too, my feline friend.
Ranulf
Oh, you called them out here? I thought they just smelled a battle and
sensed the profits!
Ike
Well, we can't fight naked, like you laguz can. I also
asked Muston to call on some other friends to come join up as well.
You'll be seeing an increase in your forces real soon here, Ranulf.
Ranulf
Thanks for everything, Ike. You've done so much for us already, and now
you do all this...
Ike
Listen, when we fought Daein, Gallia came to Crimea's aid without any
questions. Now we're returning the favor, that's all.
Ranulf
...All right. In any case, you guys are a great help. Thank you so much.
