Leif learns a very harsh lesson for thinking that saving Leonster meant that he could do the same for Alster so quickly afterwards. Capturing Leonster has put him on notice by the Empire, and has led to Bloom deploying the full weight on Freige's forces in the area into stomping out the rebels who have retaken Leonster castle. The assault on Alster was a complete failure. Leif's army faces heavy losses and Dorius sacrifices his life in order for what remnants of the strike force to be able to retreat.
The map once again like the previous chapter, has my team divided, odd number units start at the top with Leif, even number units start at the bottom close to the pursuing enemy forces. Miranda needs to be brought to this battle in order to recruit Conomor, preferably in the bottom of the map.
I choose my units accordingly to try to have as many mounted units start at the bottom along with Miranda and Lara. There isn't too much happening on this map, combat wise, as most of my units are focused on retreating. Only two units see most of the action on this map: Nanna and Sarah.
I have Nanna use Wrath + Earth Sword to help thin out some of the enemy numbers, while Sarah uses Rewarp to get to the bottom left side of the map to grab some houses. The rest of my units retreat backwards. I recruit Conomor once he approaches close enough, then make a dash back towards Leonster.
We prepare for a seige situation at Leonster. While the situation is dire, Augustus provides us with one bit of hopeful news. Upon our liberation of Leonster, there has been a similar uprising in the northern parts of Isaach that has been quickly gaining momentum, led by Seliph. Augustus tells us of some lore about how over the last decade the story of Sigurd has become a popular tale told by bards of Sigurd's deeds and how he was executed for standing up against the corruption of the Empire. And over time the legends became larger than life. So knowing that Seliph was Sigurd's descendant, he became a rallying point of the oppressed masses. I imagine this is what Lewyn had been setting everything up for over the past decade or so.
