Part 40: Sibling Blades - Preparation

Chapter 18: Sibling Blades



Rrgh! Easier said than done... Their cavalry is riding right over us!

We can hold our ground... I'll show you how a real Feroxi fights, woman!

Ha! Did I hear a crack in your voice? Is that fear in your eye?

Gah! Never!

Let's give these kettleheads a taste of our barbarian roots!

Not THAT'S the oaf I love!

...Huh? Enemy soldiers, there—





Is it some kind of elite cavalry? No, wait... Gods! It's just one man!



Awww, crap!







Such...strength... Is he even human...



I d-don't... I don't stand a chance... Flavia! Everyone! Run! Run for your lives!

I'm not leaving you here!

He's a demon, woman... I can only keep him...busy while you...escape... Hngh!

...D-damn... Looks like the lass was right...

I think not! I'm here, and that means events can be changed! Damn you, oaf! You're not getting away from me that easily!



Don't try this at home!

Nngh... Flavia... Give this to Chrom...

Is this...the Gemstone?!

You have to...survive... G-give it to him...

Give it to him yourself, you one-eyed clod of a man! I'm not going anywhere and neither are you!

Fool woman! I'm f-finished... Don't let it...be for nothing... For once in your life...just do what I say...





*Far away from the battlefield*



Beating chapter 17 gives access to all the Silver weapons, plus Arcfire (8 Mt, C rank Tome, 30 uses). Usually by now, your team has been set, so their weapon ranks should be high enough to wield these powerful weapons.



Beating Brady's paralogue gives all the Staves that healers could ever want. Physic and Rescue Staves will be staples for the rest of the game.



Let's begin the next mission at Demon's Ingle.





But Yen'fay's forces approach swiftly. It won't be long now...

We should hasten south to meet them, and distance ourselves from Walhart. This battle will be challenge enough without the Conqueror breathing down our backs.



They attacked us and let us go both, because it suited their purpose. Should the attack us from behind as we battle Yen'fay, it would be an easy victory. They would curry favor with the empire without risk of injury. This is how they think.

Hmm...

We cannot defend two fronts. We'll need to choose our battlefield carefully...



What...ah. That is no forest fire, sir. It's a volcano. Have you never seen one? That one is called the Demon's Ingle. It is known and feared by all people of Valm. Few dare even get close, lest they anger the wicked fire god.

Hmm... Robin? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Only if you're wondering how quickly we can reach the volcano.

G-go to the Demon's Ingle?! Do you know what you're saying?

I'm saying your opportunistic former friends wouldn't dare risk following us. And we can use the flames as barriers, to limit how your brother's army approaches.

Mmm... And my brother will still come. His stubborn pride will force his hand...

Then it seems we have our strategy.

...'Tis a risky plan, but I can devise none better. And you two seem to have a peculiar talent for performing miracles.



It's a map similar to chapter 16 with a twist and lots of treasure chests.



The boss of the map. Amatsu is a 12 Mt, A rank sword, 5 crit, 30 uses, and hits 1-2 range. Can only be used by Myrmidons and Swordmasters.
