00:01It is done. All of it done. The fiends are coming.
00:05Those who fled told me. They do not lay siege. They consume as they go.
00:09It was never like this ten years past. That traitor brought this upon us.
00:13Were it not for Adrian, the realm would never have fallen so far.
00:16So much laid in. How long do you intend to hold?
00:20Nine of the ten frontier cities have fallen. Stormhill Gate is the last that remains.
00:24Cold water sits apart and the roads leading here are poor. Should the fighting reach us, we may hold a
00:28few days yet.
00:29Should the fiends truly come, none of this shall avail you.
00:34Even so, one must prepare. One cannot sit idyll and await death. What if we hold long enough for aid
00:40to come?
00:41Aid? They can scarce tend to themselves at present.
00:45If the line continues to press inward, cold wood is only a matter of time.
00:49When that hour comes, am I to stand by and watch still?
00:55We stand before your majesty.
00:58This time I send no host. The frontier rests with you five alone.
01:02It is enough. A field of battle is no place for surrender. Fell the two great fiends and what remains
01:08is but sweeping up.
01:09The fiends? Nothing but the leavings of elements gone to ruin. The true concern is the two powers that stand
01:15behind them.
01:16We shall go to the root of it.
01:18What remains shall crumble of its own accord.
01:21Good. I shall await word of your triumph from the royal capital. Your majesty shall not wait long.
01:27Now there is the realm's true strength. Marshal Vivian is a sainted knight.
01:32The high privias of the four high colleges of sorcery are all archmages.
01:36Five of them. It is enough. This time they shall sweep the field clean.
01:41Last time Adrian brought us low. This time, with none to betray us, we shall prevail.
01:49Let us pray this time we do not cast away the last of what the realm still holds.
01:53To the power points.
