Special Quests/The Queen's Ascension/1-12: The Patriot's Crisis

Part 1/5  Atone  [ Thomas, do you really think Roval will use this path to leave the city? ]

 Thomas  [ It’s the only hidden route out of the city. Only a few people know about it. ]

 Atone  [ Then why do you know about it? ]

 Thomas  [ Ah, I’d use it to get away when my brother would chase me down. ]

 Maurice  [ Well, I guess that makes sense. Won’t argue with that. ]

 Thomas  [ Right? ]

 Atone  [ Umm... ]

 Thomas  [ Quiet. Someone’s coming. ]

 Atone </b> [ ... ]

 Roval </b> [ Laughable. Me, fleeing my own city! They’ll rue their betrayal once I’m back! ]

 Atone </b> [ Roval! Stop right there! ]

 Roval </b> [ Who’s that? ]

 Atone </b> [ You disgraced my grandfather and ruined the peace and happiness of a whole village! ]

 Atone </b> [ I swear in the name of justice, I will arrest you with my own two hands! ]

 Roval </b> [ Heh. Alive and well--a most unwelcome surprise... That imbecile failed miserably! ]

 Roval </b> [ You’re tough, kid--unlike your grandfather. Ha! The fool died so easily! ]

 Atone </b> [ Take that back! ]

 -- Without warning, Roval attacked Atone -- 

 Atone </b> [ Ack! ]

 Roval </b> [ Is that all you have? It seems your bark is much worse than your bite, boy. ]

 Atone </b> [ ...So what if it is?! ]

 Roval </b> [ I wasn’t supposed to dirty my hands today! But I’ll enjoy killing you! ]

 [Hero]  [We will end you, villain!]  Atone </b> [ Captain! ]

 Thomas </b> [ Don’t be so hasty, Atone. You’re not the only one after him. ]

[You’re completely surrounded!]  Maurice </b> [ You just lost your last chance to escape. Now pay for your crimes! ]

<b> Roval </b> [ The...Volunteer Army?! ]

<b> Maurice </b> [ We are here on the crown’s authority to arrest you, sir. ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Resistance is futile. The Knights are not far behind us. ]

<b> Roval </b> [ The more, the merrier then! Assassins! Earn your pay! ]

<b> Assassin </b> [ We’re just following orders... Nothing personal. ]

<b> Atone </b> [ You’re not getting away! ]

Part 2/5 <b> Roval </b> [ All of them? Not a single one still standing?! Useless, all of them useless! ]

<b> Atone </b> [ It’s over, Roval! ]

<b> Roval </b> [ Never! You think you've got what it takes to bring me down, boy? Hah! ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Atone, you’re not alone in this fight! ]

<b> Maurice </b> [ We’ll join you! Together, we can take him. ]

<b> Atone </b> [ I’ll defeat you if it’s the last thing I do! ]

 -- Atone attacks Roval -- 

<b> Roval </b> [ Ngh! ]

<b> Atone </b> [ I-I did it! ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Whew! It is finally over. Things got a little crazy back there. ]

<b> Maurice </b> [ You can say that again. Atone here really let loose! ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Atone, you... Never mind. You did good. ]

<b> Atone </b> [ Cervantes! I did it! ]

<b> Cervantes </b> [ I saw the whole thing, Atone! Your grandfather would be proud. ]

<b> Atone </b> [ My grandfather’s honour is restored. ]

<b> Knight </b> [ Volunteer Troops! You must come quickly! ]

<b> Cervantes </b> [ You knights decide to arrive now? The traitors, as you can see, are-- ]

<b> Knight </b> [ We need your help! Follow me to the front gates! ]

Part 3/5 <b> Louise </b> [ Thank you for arresting the traitor, Roval. ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ Your Majesty, what is the emergency? ...Where is Einslotte? ]

<b> Louise </b> [ The Patriot Army headed for the Royal Capital was ambushed by the Black Troops! ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ And what happened? Did they survive? ]

<b> Louise </b> [ I don’t know. Scouts were sent to investigate--but no word. ]

<b> Louise </b> [ Einslotte already left the city with his knights to rescue the army’s survivors. ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ But most men in his order had already signed up with the Patriot Army. ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ Surely his small band is nothing in the face of the Black Troops? ]

<b> Louise </b> [ That is why I must ask you--will you lend your swords to Einslotte? ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ Captain, I beg of you. Please help Einslotte. ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Reinforcements? A welcome sight! ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ What’s the situation? Is the Patriot Army still standing? ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Our scouts have just returned. The Patriot Army is barely holding off the enemy. ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ ...That also means they haven’t been completely wiped out yet. ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Yes. There’s still time. We’ll advance on the enemy and save our comrades. ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ We’re with you, Commander. ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Here are your orders. Wayne, Lephret, Parchelle: you will head up the right flank. ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ Understood. ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Dannady, Ihelmina, Rowendia: you will take charge of the left flank. ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ Yes, sir! ]

<b> Knight </b> [ Commander! The Black Army marches on our position! ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ An enemy unit that wasn't behind the Patriot Army attack? ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Either way--they march for the Holy Capital. It’s up to us to stop them! ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Knights, in position! We’re all that stand between the Black Troops and the City! ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Guardians, as protectors of the holy city, we must fight! ]

[ Right! ]

Part 4/5 <b> Monster Leader </b> [ ...! ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ AAAAAGH! ]

 -- Einslotte cuts down the monster leader -- 

<b> Einslotte </b> [ Priests, see to the wounded! ]

<b> Roy </b> [ Sure, sure. Whatever you say, Katya. ]

<b> Johan </b> [ This is our life now, isn't it? Enlisted medics in an army of knights. ]

<b> Roy </b> [ If you want to live and not let the Black Army take over, then yes. ]

<b> Johan </b> [ I simply follow the mission God has given me. ]

<b> Roy </b> [ We have our healing powers for a reason. This is our calling. ]

<b> Knight </b> [ Another wave! Get ready! ]

<b> Roy </b> [ Oh, time to work... Anyone with a boo-boo, get your butts over here now! ]

Part 5/5 <b> Einslotte </b> [ The Black Troops are retreating. ]

<b> Wayne </b> [ Should we make a tactical retreat to the city as well? ]

<b> Einslotte </b> [ No, we continue the advance. The Patriot Army won’t survive much longer. ]
