Leif's army approaches Fort Dundrum. Olwen has made it back to the fort to warn Kempf of danger approaching, however instead of listening to Olwen about the danger approaching he chooses to act as if Olwen did not do her job properly and intentionally ignores her requests, instead insulting Olwen and disrepsecting Reinhardt, provoking her to draw her weapon against Kempf who uses it as an opportunity to throw her in jail, and force Alfred to sit at the frontlines against an approaching army.
This chapter is a bit of a gimmick. The map is a narrow corridor through the middle to enter the fort, with a small clearing in the center. Kempf has a surprise in store for Leif once we reach that central square. When Leif sets foot in the area, a triple layer of doors are shut both in front and from behind and a couple Ballistas are spawned onto the map that rain arrows down on those who are stuck in the middle. Fred becomes a NPC ally unit once this event triggers and he will retreat once you open the doors back out of the fort. It is necessary for him to survive and retreat in order to reach the Paralogue for this chapter.
Since I am already aware of Kempf's gimmick, it's not particularly difficult to play around. Theres about 10 armors in the center area, and I use Halvan, Osian, Dagdar, and Dalsin while passing around a Hammer to help clear them out, and use Capture to grab the ones holding door keys to take in preparation for lock down. I then trigger the event, then work my way through opening the doors. There's a bit of a risk upon triggering the event itself because I had Leif in range of both Ballistas and they both target him, but he manages to dodge one. Afterwards, I keep Leif in range of the left Ballista only, which draws away its attention while I have my other characters start clearing the path way and to advance deeper into the fort. From there, there isn't too much to worry about. After some time Kempf retreats away deeper into the castle leaving the throne unguarded. By the time that happens I'm already done cleaning up through the map and we seize and clear. Augustus tells Leif to check the prisons in case of any children being held captive, and that's my cue that I've managed to go to 11x. We clear this map with no resets, after the debacle that was Chapter 10.
