That's the declaration of war taken care of! We've established that we are in the right! [k] ?1:You declared war as soon as the Round Table Army arrived? [charaFace A 14] @Cnoc na Riabh We'll be fine. We're all set to merge our forces. All we have to do now is organize a chain of command overnight. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?2:Aren't you supposed to declare war BEFORE[csr]giving the enemy a chance to surrender? [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 11] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Altria Right? I thought first you declared war, then offered your enemy a chance to surrender after you weakened them... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Cnoc na Riabh Oh come on, you know Morgan would never surrender![sr]I was just getting the formalities out of the way! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?! [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 9] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Percival ...So, the fighting begins tomorrow morning... [k] @Percival Assuming that we'll need to organize new formations for our armies anyway, how should we go about our siege? [k] @Percival It doesn't look as though the queen's army will try to attack us out here in the open... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Nope. The fact that there aren't any troops out on the plains already means they're definitely just focusing on shoring up their defenses. [k] @Da Vinci Good thing for us, too, since that let the Round Table Army get here from Oxford today. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 15] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa So it's finally time to bring down the big castle, huh. Which gate do we take? Main, west, or east? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Grímr the Sage Just the main gate. That's what Cnoc na Riabh put together her giant corps for. [k] @Grímr the Sage After we've smashed the main gate, the northern faerie army and the Round Table Army will occupy the castle town. [k] @Grímr the Sage Personally, I'd rather wait to do that until after we've seized control of the castle itself, but[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Cnoc na Riabh I already told you, no way. I want to keep my new castle in pristine condition! [k] [charaFace A 7] @Cnoc na Riabh ...Especially the throne. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh Even if we succeed at defeating Morgan, it won't mean anything if we destroy the throne in the process. [k] ?1:Is there something special about that throne? ?! [charaFace A 8] @Cnoc na Riabh ... [k] [charaFace A 1] @Cnoc na Riabh Nn, no, not really! I just plan to get a lot of use out of it once it's mine! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 30] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Altria Don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself?[sr]We haven't even started fighting yet, let alone won. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Cnoc na Riabh I'd worry about yourself more than me.[sr]Never mind the castle town. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh You guys are going to have the hardest time of all once you're inside the castle itself. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh Morgan is going to come straight for you[sr]and [%1]. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh If either of you dies, that'll pretty much put paid to Ainsel's prophecy. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh If that happens, the Round Table Army's morale will crumble, and me and my army will be the only ones to survive. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 9] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Percival Yes... That's a good point. [k] @Percival Should we have Altria and [%1][sr]stay behind then? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Grímr the Sage Not an option. We'll never break through the main gate without the faerie of paradise's protection. [k] @Grímr the Sage Especially with Barghest and Lancelot standing in our way. [k] @Grímr the Sage Altria, Mash, and [%1] are the only ones who can hold their own against those two. [k] @Grímr the Sage You three will need to be in the vanguard the whole time. First the gate, then the city, then the castle. Got it? [k] ?1:...(Nod) ?2:...(Soon, I'll be back in that throne room again...) ?! [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Cnoc na Riabh ... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Altria What is it, Cnoc na Riabh? What's with the sigh? [k] @Altria If you've got something to say, now's the time to say it. You won't get another chance before tomorrow night. [k] [masterBranch _Male _Female] [label _Male] @Altria If you don't say something memorable now, you'll just end up as that weird chocolate queen. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 10] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Cnoc na Riabh Who asked you!? Besides, you know what I pledged, right!? [k] @Cnoc na Riabh So never mind that now! As soon as Morgan's defeated and that throne is mine, I'll be ready to settle things in our rematch! [k] [branch _branchEnd] [label _Female] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 13] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Cnoc na Riabh Heh. No, I don't have anything in particular to say. All that matters is the dashing figure I'll cut tomorrow. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh Make sure you pay more attention to me than Altria,[sr][%1]. [k] [charaFace A 14] @Cnoc na Riabh See for yourself which of us is the better faerie to rule Britain. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 30] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Altria Just make sure you don't spend so much time trying to look good that you slip off one of those high places you love. [k] @Altria What a cruel joke it would be if you helped us win this war only to immediately fall to your death afterwards. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Cnoc na Riabh As if I'd ever die in a dumb accident like that! Besides, I'm immortal as long as I have my northern army!

I thought you'd be in a foul mood once the Round Table Army joined us, but you're more fired up than ever. [k] @Grímr the Sage Guess having your rival and your [&lover:mate][sr]here was just the motivator you needed.

Neither of them belong to me just yet, but you can definitely never have too many rewards. [k] [charaFace A 14] @Cnoc na Riabh ...Which is why we need to cover every possible angle in this strategy meeting. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Cnoc na Riabh Altria, the Child of Prophecy.[sr]Percival, commander of the Round Table Army. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh Grímr, magecraft advisor to the northern army.[sr]Da Vinci, sage of the outside world. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh You four stay here with me.[sr]Muramasa, [%1], you're dismissed. [k] @Cnoc na Riabh There's a tent set up for you at our campsite. Go rest up for tomorrow. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 23] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci You want me here, too? Well, okay. I guess I can offer my opinion as a representative of Chaldea and Proper Human History. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci Don't worry about me, [%1].[sr]Take advantage of this chance to rest. [k] @Da Vinci I'll go over what we cover here with you later.[sr]Give Mash my best. [k] ?1:Got it. I'll let Oberon know as well then. [messageOff] ?2:Are you gonna be okay on your own, Altria? [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Altria I'll be fine. Cnoc na Riabh may be running the show, but I'll keep her in line if she starts getting carried away.

How did the strategy meeting with the Round Table Army and northern army go? [k] ?1:Well, long story short... ?2:Well, after Cnoc na Riabh went and declared war on Morgan... ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaFace G 0] @Mash I see. So Cnoc na Riabh said this will be a battle between two opposing nations. [k] @Mash And since the general plan of attack for the castle is decided, now they just need to hammer out the particulars? [k] ?1:You got it. ?2:Yup. The final battle begins tomorrow morning. ?! [charaFace G 4] @Mash ... [k] @Mash ...Our goals are to obtain Rhongomyniad, and to stop the British Lostbelt's collapse from engulfing the world. [k] @Mash I know we need to defeat Queen Morgan to achieve both of those goals, but... [k] ?1:...Do you think you can fight her? ?! [charaFace G 8] @Mash ...If we could settle this peacefully,[sr]I'd do that in a heartbeat. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Mash But...Queen Morgan has been ruling Britain the way she believes is right for two thousand years. [k] @Mash Words won't change her mind, especially since that's not how she wants to be persuaded. [k] @Mash She'll only change her mind once she's been defeated by a power greater than her own. [k] @Mash She said if you want to make your dreams come true,[sr]you need to prove you're strong enough to do so. [k] @Mash That's Aesc the Savior as I knew her. She was always...severe like that. [k] ?1:... ?2:(So knowing Aesc is actually making her more[csr]willing to fight in this case...) ?! [charaFace G 12] @Mash ...What about you, Senpai? [k] @Mash I know this battle will determine the future of Britain... [k] @Mash But I also know it's been forty-four days since we left the Storm Border, and we're approaching our deadline. [k] @Mash We don't necessarily have to take part in this battle to complete our mission. [k] @Mash We could always sneak into Camelot while the Round Table Army and the queen's army are fighting each other, and acquire Rhongomyniad that way. [k] @Mash If Holmes were here,[sr]he'd probably suggest we do just that... [k] [messageOff] [wt 0.4] ?1:...No. I'm going to fight. ?! [wt 0.3] ?1:I already promised Altria I'd help her. ?2:My mind is already made up. ?! [charaFace G 13] @Mash ...Right. Running away was never an option. [k] @Mash We have a responsibility as humans from Proper Human History who have already overthrown many Lostbelts. [k] @Mash And we have hope as the Child of Prophecy's companions, who have been with her on her journey. [k] @Mash If we're going to fight Queen Morgan for the future of this beautiful land, those are the two things we need to hold on to.
