Part 14: Desparation
Chapter 7.5: Desperation
![](1-1.jpg)
The party automatically travels to Ferox, hoping for a plan to counterattack.

And Khan Flavia is assembling her best troops as we speak. We'll make it back home in time. I know we will!

......
![](6-Annoyed.jpg)
Chrom? Say something! Say, "Yes, of course we will!"
![](5-ChromFrown.jpg)
...I'm sorry, Lissa. What?
![](6-Annoyed.jpg)
Ugh, fine! Never mind!
![](4-Sweatdrop.jpg)
Let me know when you get out of your own head for a second!
![](5-ChromFrown.jpg)
......
![](9-ChromSweat.jpg)
OW! ...What the hell was that for?!
![](10-SumiaDefault.jpg)
Oh no! ...Did I do it wrong? Captain Phila said sometimes a good slap will break someone out of their doldrums.
![](4-Sweatdrop.jpg)
Sumia, when you slap someone, you do it with an open palm. You just punched Chrom in the face!
![](10-SumiaDefault.jpg)
Um...It's the thought that counts?
![](11-ChromAnnoyed.jpg)
Gods, that seriously hurt...
![](12-FlaviaSmileEyesClosed.jpg)
Ha ha! What's wrong, my dear prince? Sometimes love hurts! You're lucky to have strong women like these, and not just dainty flowers about. In any case, I bring good news. The Feroxi army has finally mobilized. Every last man is itching to fight. I must say, I'm looking forward to savoring a skirmish or two myself.
![](11-ChromAnnoyed.jpg)
...Wait. You're coming along?
![](12-FlaviaSmileEyesClosed.jpg)
Of course! A khan must have her fun. I'm even bringing my insignificant other.
![](13-RobinDefault.jpg)
Your who?
![](14-FlaviaDefault.jpg)
Basilio. The oaf isn't good for much, but he might stop a few stray arrows.
*cut to the Ferox throne room*
![](11-ChromAnnoyed.jpg)
Is something wrong?
![](16-BasiloGrrr.jpg)
Our scouts have reported back. Dark news, I'm afraid. Ylisstol...has fallen.
![](9-ChromSweat.jpg)
What?!
![](17-BasiloDefault.jpg)
The Plegians captured your exalt and retreated back across their lines.
![](16-BasiloGrrr.jpg)
Gangrel has declared she's to be publicly executed within the moon.
![](9-ChromSweat.jpg)
E-executed?
![](4-Sweatdrop.jpg)
Ooooh...
*Lissa collapses*
![](19-FlaviaSweatAnnoyed.jpg)
The dastard's not even trying to be subtle anymore.
![](20-Robinannoyed.jpg)
I agree. It's an obvious trap.
![](17-BasiloDefault.jpg)
The Mad King knew our scouts would relay this information back. It's clearly a provocation-a hot brand to the buttocks!
![](16-BasiloGrrr.jpg)
We should consider our options carefully before jumping to any-
![](11-ChromAnnoyed.jpg)
Shepherds! We march to Plegia!
![](16-BasiloGrrr.jpg)
*Ahem* Well, that would be ONE option, yes... But perhaps we've seen enough royalty waltzing into traps for one war already, eh?
![](9-ChromSweat.jpg)
I don't care if it's a trap, Basilio. He's going to murder my sister!
![](22-FlaviaAngry.jpg)
No one's suggesting we don't act. We're simply saying we shoulda ct WISELY. We'll need guts AND wits in equal measure if we're to save your sister.
![](13-RobinDefault.jpg)
The khans are right.
![](20-Robinannoyed.jpg)
I'll think of something, Chrom. I promise.
![](5-ChromFrown.jpg)
...All right, Robin. I leave it to you to formulate our strategy.
![](14-FlaviaDefault.jpg)
Are you certain you're up to the task, Robin? It won't be easy.
![](22-FlaviaAngry.jpg)
You hold the exalt's life in one hand, and all of ours in the other.
![](20-Robinannoyed.jpg)
A responsibility I do not take lightly. But I am equal to the challenge.
![](12-FlaviaSmileEyesClosed.jpg)
Ha ha! You've got stones, at least. I like that!
![](17-BasiloDefault.jpg)
No hesitation, no mincing words...She's either a genius or a fool!
![](23-BasiloLaugh.jpg)
I suppose we'll find out once we march. Hold on to your tassets, Ylisseans. We've an exalt to save!
