Opening Narration
Hector and his companions defeat Marquess Laus's son, Erik, and seize Castle Laus. After the battle, they rest in the castle and settle their affairs. They diligently prepare for a possible counterattack. They should've spotted anyone attempting to approach the castle. And yet, somehow, they find themselves facing an unforeseen attack...

Opening Dialogue

 * Oswin: Lord Hector! We're under attack!
 * Hector: Is it Marquess Laus? He's come back to take the castle? Perfect! We'll catch him easily.
 * Oswin: No, it's not him... The attackers aren't regular army. Maybe they're mercenaries hired by Laus...
 * Hector: Mercenaries?
 * Oswin: Their movements are very rapid... Coordinated. They've already made their way into the castle.
 * Hector: For mercenaries, they're very, very good. Eliwood, do you have any ideas?
 * Eliwood: My father told me something once... There's a mercenary group extremely loyal to house Laus. Their leader is named Eubans, but he's called the Hurricane. He's famed for surprise attacks and lightning-swift strikes.
 * Hector: Hmmm... This could be interesting. Protect the throne! We will not lose this castle!

Battle Begins

 * Heath: Sealen.
 * Sealen: Is that you, Heath?
 * Heath: I've secured a retreat path, as Commander Eubans ordered. Just in case something goes wrong...
 * Sealen: I don't need you to tell me when to retreat. If we lose the element of surprise, we fall back.
 * Heath: I've heard there are Ostian knights among the enemy forces. Watch yourself, Sealen.
 * Sealen: Are we friends now? Worrying so about a complete stranger... Heath, you weren't meant to be a mercenary.
