Part 45: The Sword or the Knee - Preparation

Chapter 20: The Sword or the Knee



Severa's paralogue gives nothing new. Chapter 20 gives good stuff if you never visited as many future kid paralogues as this LP has.



But now, Walhart's had enough of a break. He will be defeated this time once and for all.





Would they dare...?! Is it... Is it possible...

Is it possible it was Yen'fay they feared all along, and not me?!

Without him to back it up, your threat was only the grand shadow of a tiny spider.

Tiny spider, is it? Well this spider has woven other webs in secret you could not even—

You mean how you blackmailed Yen'fay to keep his loyalty? Or perhaps your correspondence with the Plegian woman...Aversa, was it? Yes, I know you have designs on the Fire Emblem... You have no secrets from me, worm.

B-b-b-but... I... I don't... If you...knew all of that...w-why...

Why haven't I killed you? ...I've asked myself the same thing, several times... But you're no threat to me. And I admit, you have your uses. Besides, I'm not one for court jesters, but you do...amuse me.

Amuse you? I AMUSE you, like I'm a jester?! Are you AMUSED now? With a million swords at your door, come for your head?!

You've lost! Lost, and you are going to DIE! All of you, ALL OF YOU! But not me! I want no part of this suicide!



...What?! No, that's—

Unless you'd rather fight me. Right here. RIGHT NOW.

Mercy! Mercy! F-forgive me, my master! A moment's madness only—it will not return!

Then it's settled: we have our new captain of the guard. Congratulations, Captain. You'll be right at my side until the fray is upon us.

*Walhart leaves*



Do give our guests a warm welcome, snake. Perhaps offer them some of your tea? Hah hah... My equal... Pah!

*Cervantes leaves*



We will crush these rebels... We MUST crush these rebels... Or maybe...if Walhart is sufficiently injured...I might "amuse" him with a spell...

Nya ha, either way, this spider crawls out alive! Eee hee hee hee!



The Valm castle is quite large and has very few avenues of safety. Mostly that going in the middle is suicide, so hugging the corridors on the side will give much more options to defend and wall up.



Cervantes and Excellus are available to be struck down. Nothing special at this point.



Walhart is going all out as he equips his custom weapon. The Wolf Berg is an 18 Mt, 5 crit 1-2 range axe with an insane 35 uses for such a beast.
