Chapter 19B

## World Map Text
After defeating the Djute Tribe, Roy moved
toward Bulgar, the largest city in Sacae.
As a center of commerce between Etruria,
Bern, and Ilia, Bulgar has had a history
of being a free city without a rule.
However, with Bern's invasion,
Advisor Roartz now had control of
Bulgar under Bern's protection.
Roy approached Bulgar to liberate it and to
gain some useful information on invading Bern.

## Intro 1

\f[#|Roartz]\f[#|Gel]\f[#|Soldier]
\s[#]
They're here...!|/n
And so quickly...|/n
Could they not have given me/n
the time to set up defenses!|

\s[#]
We will try and stop the enemy/n
from progressing any further.|/n
You can retreat to the palace/n
and fortify your defenses there.|

\s[#]
...Can you hold them back?|

\s[#]
We must at least try.|

\s[#]
If you do not know whether/n
you can win or not...|

\s[#]
Then what would you do?|/n
Flee?|/n
Tell me, just where do/n
you think you can hide?|

\s[#]
.....|

\s[#]
General Brunya has given me/n
orders to protect you.|/n
I will do so with my life./n
But you must not be afraid to/n
fight either!|

\s[#]
...A-All right...|/n
Then I shall fortify the inside/n
and leave the outside to you.|

\s[#]
...That is the highest advisor/n
of the Etrurian council?|/n
Why should we fight for a/n
coward like him?|

\s[#]
Don't say that.|/n
General Brunya didn't willingly tell/n
us to protect him.|/n
She had no choice because Etruria/n
joined forces with Bern.|/n
Therefore, we must fulfill our/n
duties as warriors.|

\s[#]
.....|

\s[#]
I have also gotten hold of/n
information that allies of the Silver/n
Wolf are lurking around here.|/n
Keep in guard at all times.|

\s[#]
Yes sir.|

## Scene 1
\g[Hill]
\f[#|Roy]\f[#|Guinevere]\f[#|Soldier off screen\
\s[#]
Princess Guinevere.|

\s[#]
...We fight again today.|

\s[#]
Yes...|/n
I am sorry that I cannot find/n
the time to talk with you at/n
leisure.|

\s[#]
No, it is all right.|/n
...My brother started this in the/n
first place.|

\s[#]
Princess...|

\s[#]
...Yes?|

\s[#]
May I ask the reason why/n
Bern's former king tried/n
to murder King Zephiel?|

\s[#]
...Zephiel and I have different mothers.|/n
So I am in actuality  his half sister.|

\s[#]
I heard that Zephiel's mother/n
was the Etrurian princess.|

\s[#]
Yes.|/n
It was an arranged marriage to strengthen/n
the tie between Bern and Etruria.|/n
However, our father already had a woman/n
he loved at that time.||/n
She was my mother.|

\s[#]
.....|

\s[#]
The marriage between our father/n
and Zephiel's mother was forced.|/n
Therefore, our father didn't love/n
Zephiel's mother and always/n
thought badly of Zephiel.|

\s[#]
Then is that twhy the former king/n
and King Zephiel had a bad relationship?|

\s[#]
No...|/n
Even then, Zephiel was always trying/n
his best to gain our father's affection.|/n
He excelled in his studies and military/n
training and was always trying hard.||/n
He grew to become a proud heir to/n
Bern's throne.|

\s[#]
Then why did the king try to...|

\s[#]
Master Roy!|/n
We are ready for the attack!|

\s[#]
All right,/n
I'll be there in a minute!|/n
Princess Guinevere,/n
I am sorry, but...|

\s[#]
No, it is all right.|/n
Please be careful.|

## Scene 1 - Turn 2
\g[House]
\f[#|MNiime]\f[#|Dayan]\f[#|Villager_M]
\s[#]
Well well...|/n
So it has started.|

\s[#]
So it seems.|

\s[#]
Just when we thought Bern had/n
finished invading, now we/n
have to deal with Etruria.|/n
Sigh.|

\s[#]
.....|

\s[#]
Small wonder.|/n
This is a large trading city.|/n
Any army would want control of it.|/n
Well then...|

\s[#]
H-Hey wait,/n
where are you going?|

\s[#]
I'm going to watch the fight.|/n
Let us see how good that Roy is.|

\s[#]
What, now?|/n
But...|

\s[#]
Don't you worry about me.|/n
Everything will be fine.|

\s[#]
What? Hey wait!|/n
You're leaving too?|

## Scene 1 - Turn 7
\g[Castle Corridor]
\f[#|Gel]\f[#|Soldier]
\s[#]
The reinforcements should be/n
arriving soon...|/n
I want you to open the front gate/n
to let the reinforcements in when/n
they arrive.|

\s[#]
Yes sir.|

## Scene 1 - Turn 12
\g[Castle Corridor]
\f[#|Soldier]
\s[#]
All right, they should be here soon...|/n
Open the gate!|

## Scene 1  - Turn 13
\g[Hill]
\f[#|Gel]\f[#|Soldier]
\s[#]
Tell the troops to start attacking the/n
guerrilla forces hiding in the houses.|

\s[#]
Yes sir.|

## Village (Far East-Longbow)
\g[Village]
\f[#|Visitor]\f[#|Villager_SocialiteF]
\s[#]\e[5|1]
This is a Longbow,/n
a favourite of Sacae clans.|/n
Here, take one.|/n
Use it to drive Bern's/n
soldiers out of here!|

## Village (Southeast of the Gate where Gel was-Wo Dao)
\g[Village]
\f[#|Visitor]\f[#|Villager_SocialiteF]
\s[#]\e[5|1]
Phew...|/n
I found this,/n
so I'm not stealing it!|/n
I'm sure I can sell it...|/n
Whoa!|/n
A-Are you from Bern?|/n
No, I wasn't stealing/n
this sword!|/n
See ya!|

## Village (Right behind the big door-Goddess Icon)
\g[Village]
\f[#|Visitor]\f[#|Villager_SocialiteF]
\s[#]\e[5|1]
This goddess statue/n
brings good luck.|/n
Well, I used to say that/n
to trick people,/n
but I can't do business/n
with the war going on.|/n
Here, take one.|/n
It won't bring you any luck, though.|

## Village (Southwest of the gate-Energy Ring)
\g[Village]
\f[#|Visitor]\f[#|Villager_SocialiteF]
\s[#]\e[5|1]
Would you like a magic/n
ring from Etruria?|/n
People used to buy them before,/n
but I had to close my shop/n
because of the war.|/n
Here, take one...|/n
They won't sell anyway.|

## Village  (Far west of the gate-Wyrmslayer)
\g[Village]
\f[#|Visitor]\f[#|Villager_SocialiteF]
\s[#]\e[5|1]
I was selling weapons to Bern/n
before the war...|/n
But now that they've taken/n
over the city,/n
they won't pay me anything!|/n
Here, I'll give you this/n
Dragon-killing sword,/n
so can you do something?|/n
I've been hiding it from them...|/n
You know why...don't you?|

## Vs Gel
\f[#|Gel]
\s[#]
I am Gel.|/n
Behold my blade...|/n
As I wing it for/n
the last time.|

## Gel Defeated
\f[#|Gel]
\s[#]
As a swordsman...|/n
This...is inevitable.|

## Outro 1
\g[Castle Room with fireplace]
\f[#|Roy]\w[16]
\f[#|Niime]
\f[#|Soldier]
\s[#]
Hm.|/n
You're not too bad,/n
are you?|

\s[#]
W-Who are you!?|/n

\s[#]
What!?|/n
Hey!|/n
I said you couldn't come in.|/n
Master Roy is very busy.|

\s[#]
What's the matter?|

\s[#]
She kept pestering me that/n
she wanted to see you.|/n
But you were busy, so I/n
was trying to drive her away.

\s[#]
Listen to me first.|/n
Then you can decide whether you want/n
to get rid of me or not.|/n
I think I have some information that/n
you might be interested in.|

\s[#]
...What is that?|

\s[#]
It is about the beasts/n
who change form into humans.|

\s[#]
...I want to speak/n
with her in private.|
Can you leave the room?|

\s[#]
Yes sir.|

\s[#]
Well well, that got you/n
interested, didn't it?|

\s[#]
Those beasts you speak of...|

\s[#]
Right. Dragons.|

\s[#]
The Dragons you speak of...|/n
They are not the Wyverns that Bern's/n
Dragon Knights use, but the strange/n
troops that are mixed in with/n
Bern's soldiers...|

\s[#]
Exactly.|/n
Those are the Dragons that/n
were supposedly defeated/n
in the Dragon-Human wars.|

\s[#]
...Who are you?|

\s[#]
I am Niime.|/n
I study ancient Dark Magic in the mountains,/n
so some call me the Hermit on the Mountain.|/n
This war...at first I thought it was just/n
another battle so I didn't pay heed to it.|
But now I can feel the evil among Bern's/n
troops, so I investigated.|

\s[#]
And did you find/n
out anything?|

\s[#]
The Dragons are indeed shrouded/n
in mystery.|/n
I looked through many ancient books/n
and scrolls, but I could only decipher/n
so many of them.|/n
But...|

\s[#]
...But?

\s[#]
I have come to believe that Bern/n
has resurrected the Dark Dragon.|

\s[#]
Dark Dragon...|/n
That is the leader of the/n
Dragons that Hartmut defeated.|

\s[#]
Yes.|/n
Dragons are simply a much more advanced/n
species than humans.|/n
They have much greater vitality and/n
intellect than us.|/n
However, there was one thing that the/n
Dragons lagged far behind the humans in.|
The Dragons' reproductive system was/n
much less efficient than that of the/n
humans.|/n
But even then, the Dark Dragon...|/n
It had the power to create more Dragons.|/n
That is what I learned from my research.|

\s[#]
It can make more Dragons...|

\s[#]
The Dark Dragon can make more of/n
its kind.|/n
That would explain where Bern is/n
getting all of its dragons.|

\s[#]
That is possible.|

\s[#]
Now, that being said...|/n
I want to learn more about the Dragons.|/n
Let me accompany you on your journey.|/n
I wield Dark Magic...|/n
I'm sure I can be of some assistance.

\s[#]
Of course.|/n
We want to learn more about the/n
Dragons as well.|/n
It may be dangerous, but if that's/n
okay with you, you're welcome to/n
join us.|
