Chapter #18: Zulwarn's Breath, Part 2: Nothing is Learned!



: It's alright, Duke Zeira. I'm just glad you realize that Bastion is telling the truth about his lineage!
: Your Highness, I am sorry for having doubted you. I have brought dishonor upon the Kingdom Army.
Yeah, tell it to Thomson's wife! What a minute....we never actually rescued her, did we? And Faulkner's been sacrificing people to power up the Zulwarn, too. Whoops.
: Nonsense. You did what you thought was right. I don't see any dishonor in your actions.
: I was able to make Ganlon admit his involvement with Faulkner after a lengthy....interrogation. I need to investigate further and determine the depth of Ganlon's betrayal.
: A fine idea. We need to know how much Faulkner knows.
: Your Highness, I know I am being abrupt by saying this, but...I would desire nothing more than to have you return to the Kingdom and restore it to glory.
: Perhaps, Galvas, but I can't consider that until I've defeated Faulkner. Don't place too much faith in my ability to make dreams come true, Galvas. I am only a man.
: Yes, Your Highness.
: It's time we started repairing the ATACs and tending to the wounded.
: Then we should rest here before our assault on the capital. We need to determine how to fight Zulwarn.
: Like, if we CAN fight Zulwarn...
I've already shown off the only moderately difficult final battle in the game. Both Empire final bosses are a breeze if you know what you're doing.



: ...if felt as if my mind was being probed by a red-hot poker. I lost consciousness...and when I woke up, you were pulling me from my ATAC.
: How horrible.
: I wonder why Bastion and I were able to escape Zulwarn's effects. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, especially after hearing Zeira's tale.
: So, like, if the Zulwarn can do that to Duke Zeira, who's using one of the excavated ATACs...I totally guarantee Faulkner will figure out a way to make it work on all of us. And what happens when NONE of us can resist his power.
Eh, we already did that challenge.
: The enslavement of the Continent is what happens, Claire. Our world will be cast into eternal darkness...
Is that a figurative darkness, or is Faulkner going to literally blot out the sun...because that just seems a bit excessive.



: We're under attack, everyone! There's a group of Imperial ATACs headed this way, and one of them is the Sarbelas!
: What?!
: My brother, Duyere.
: We would help you if we could, but our ATACs are still being repaired.
Pussies.
: Don't worry, Duke Zeira. I'm hoping that I can talk some much-needed sense into my brother. And if that doesn't work, I'll give him a much-needed beating!
: I sincerely believe that I wouldn't want to be your brother right now...
: Let's go!



: So what happens if he's under the control of the Zulwarn?
: I don't know...
Let's just say that it will settle any outstanding succession controversies.

Next Time: I finally get my revenge...on Claire and Sadira. Justice will be done!
