Ch.5x: Unbroken Heart

北米版ファイアーエムブレム聖魔の光石「the Sacred Stones」の章会話（5章外伝：砕けぬ心）。

オープニング

Tirado:

What a pleasant surprise.
It's Master Valter.▼

Valter:

What's the situation, Tirado? You
have captured Ephraim, haven't you?▼

Tirado:

No. Prince Ephraim still fights
in the lands north of Renvall.▼

Valter:

And why is that?▼
What has happened to all
those mercenaries you hired?▼

Tirado:

They've proven to be less than adequate.▼
Ephraim's clever. His band strikes quickly
and then vanishes into the woods.▼
We more than double his numbers, and yet
he uses the terrain wisely to fight us.▼
He has no army--just a small force
of knights loyal to Renais.▼
Prince Ephraim's reputation as a superb
strategist would seem to be well earned.▼

Valter:

Hmm...▼
How interesting. The lad's beginning
to whet my appetite.▼
Tirado... Bring him to me as quickly
as you can, will you?▼

Tirado:

As you command.▼
Just grant me an army, and
I'll bring him down swiftly.▼

Valter:

What sort of plan do you have?▼

Tirado:

Master, I am your loyal adjutant,
and you are my general.▼
For you, my lord, I have many
plans ready and waiting.▼

Valter:

Really? Well then,
let me hear them.▼

Tirado:

Very well.▼
First, you and I will leave this
fort and head north.▼
Then, we will find Prince Ephraim
in his leafy playpen.▼

Valter:

But he's not easily found, is he?▼

Tirado:

Do not worry.▼
At Prince Ephraim's side is...
a friend, shall we say.▼
When the time is right, our friend
will move on our behalf...▼

Ephraim:

Forde, how are we on
supplies and equipment?▼

Forde:

It's not looking good.▼
Our weapons are in bad shape,
and we're running low on food.▼
We can probably restock at a
nearby village, but--▼

Ephraim:

No, that's not an option.▼
We're in enemy territory. I will not
involve innocents if I can avoid it.▼

Forde:

Yeah, I knew you'd say that.▼
I mean, it's because of stuff like that
that we've stuck with you so far.▼
But eventually, we do need to face
reality. What are we going to do?▼

Kyle:

Word of mouth has it that the invasion
of Renais has progressed quite far.▼
I've heard that the capital has fallen.▼

Ephraim:

Hm... So soon...▼
Still, my father is in the capital,
and he won't surrender easily.▼
Forde, Kyle.▼
Our mission here is to harry the
troops, to distract their eye.▼
Hopefully, we'll be able to give my
father and Eirika time to escape.▼
Kyle, have you heard anything from
Orson? I sent him ahead to scout.▼

Kyle:

No word yet, and it's about
time he returned...▼

Orson:

Reporting in, Prince Ephraim.▼
I can confirm Grado presence at
several points around our camp.▼
Also, a large battalion of soldiers
has been dispatched from Renvall.▼
We shouldn't tarry here any longer
than necessary...▼

Ephraim:

I see.▼

Forde:

Seems as though we've certainly
caught Grado's eye this time.▼
Should we retreat back to the
capital, Prince Ephraim?▼

Ephraim:

No. We press onward.▼
We're going to capture Renvall.▼

Forde:

Wh-what?!?▼

Ephraim:

So this is Renvall, is it?▼
All right, let's go.▼

Forde:

Um... Are you...sure you're
quite sane, Prince Ephraim?▼
We've an entire army after us, and
you want to charge their stronghold?▼

Kyle:

Forde! Watch your tongue! This
is our prince you're addressing!▼

Ephraim:

Kyle, please, it's all right.
We've heard nothing from home,▼
so what harm could a little
reckless besieging cause?▼

Kyle:

Prince Ephraim...▼

Ephraim:

Don't worry. I haven't lost all sense
of self-preservation.▼
Renvall holds an important place in
Grado's national defense.▼
If we can get the upper hand
and take control of it,▼
then Grado will waste many valuable
soldiers trying to take it back.▼
I hope our attack proves useful
to my father and Eirika.▼

Forde:

I understand what you're saying, but...▼
can we do it with our current strength?▼

Ephraim:

Every soldier in this area is
trying to find us.▼
The enemy has us vastly outnumbered.
Attacking the castle is a ridiculous idea.▼
If the enemy thinks the same...
then we may have our opening.▼

Forde:

You have a point. I'm sure Renvall won't
expect us to attack with these numbers.▼
Either way, we can't run forever.
And we're running out of supplies.▼
What've we got to lose?
Shall we get ready to go?▼

Ephraim:

Yes. If we don't move quickly, we
may never get another chance.▼
Trust me. I don't pick fights I
cannot win.▼

Kyle:

Yes, sir!▼

Zonta:

An attack? By Ephraim's troops?▼
To arms! Prince Ephraim's circled around
and brought the fight to us!▼
If we capture the prince here, we can
line our pockets with gold!▼
Do you understand? We'll be rich!▼

Ephraim:

Orson.▼

Orson:

Yes...▼

Ephraim:

Your wounds still haven't healed
from that last battle, have they?▼
Don't push yourself.▼
If we're defeated, you must return
to Frelia. Understood?▼

Orson:

Understood...▼

Ephraim:

Let's go!
Kyle! Forde!▼

イベント

離脱

カイルのHPが0になった時

Kyle:

I was careless...
My apologies, Prince Ephraim...▼
I must withdraw.▼

フォルデのHPが0になった時

Forde:

Oh, that hurt...▼
I'm sorry, Prince Ephraim.
I have to fall back.▼

This wound...
It will slow me down.▼
I must retreat.▼

戦闘

ゾンタ初戦時

Zonta:

Do you truly think you can take
us with those numbers?▼
Imbecile! You'll learn the
error of your ways!▼

ゾンタ撃破時

Zonta:

L-Lord Tirado... It can't be...
Were we...merely pawns?▼

クリア後

Kyle:

We've secured the entire castle.▼
You were brilliant, Prince Ephraim!
What a plan! What a battle!▼

Ephraim:

I estimate at least half of the
enemy troops are in the field.▼
We took the castle, but we don't have the
manpower to hold it in a siege.▼
There's no point in lingering here.
Let's continue on to Grado Keep.▼

Forde:

Prince Ephraim, things have
taken a turn for the worse.▼
I took a look around the castle perimeter...▼
We're surrounded.▼

Kyle:

What?▼

Ephraim:

Grado's sent reinforcements?
So quickly...?▼

Kyle:

What should we do?▼

Ephraim:

......▼
We must escape!▼

Valter:

So, you've captured Renvall, have you?
And with such a small force! Impressive!▼
You've earned your reputation. I must say,
I quite admire your work.▼
I take it you're the leader of this
pack--the misguided Prince Ephraim.▼

Ephraim:

I am.▼

Valter:

I'm General Valter, the Moonstone
of Grado's Imperial Army.▼
Catching up to you has caused me
no small amount of trouble.▼
We've reduced your wretched home
of Renais to ruin, and yet...▼
you and your little band of bravos
continue to be a thorn in our side.▼
But that all ends here.▼

Ephraim:

We'll see... You claim you've
taken the capital of Renais...▼
Tell me, how did you know
I would attack Renvall?▼

Valter:

Ha ha... Patience. You'll have
your answer soon enough.▼
Now, be good lads, and drop
your weapons, will you?▼

Kyle:

Prince Ephraim, let us attack!▼

Ephraim:

......▼

Valter:

Listen to me, Ephraim. You're a smart
man. You know it's futile to fight me.▼
You cannot win.
You cannot escape.▼
Accept the reality of your situation,
and surrender to me.▼

Ephraim:

Surrender?▼

Valter:

Heh heh heh... That's right.
If you do, I'll let you live.▼
I hold your life in the palm of my
hand. Do not test my good humor.▼
Now come over here, bend your
knee, and beg for your life.▼
Show me how Renais dogs grovel.▼

Ephraim:

I think not.▼

Valter:

What?▼

Ephraim:

You said your name was Valter, didn't you?▼
Well, I'm sorry, Valter, but I don't have
time to waste playing games with you.▼
So, we're going to knock you louts about a
bit and then make our way out of here.▼

Valter:

Fool... Have you gone mad?▼
Do you truly believe you can fight
your way past my wyvern knights?▼

Ephraim:

Watch and see I don't pick
fights I can't win.▼
Kyle, Forde.
Are you ready?▼

Kyle:

My life has been yours since the
moment I took my chivalric vows.▼

Forde:

It's moments like these that
keep me by you side, my prince.▼

Valter:

What idiotic wretches you are...▼
Prepare yourselves to be
destroyed utterly!▼

Ephraim:

We break to the east. GO!▼
