The Hero of the Western Isles



Roy was shocked by Lalum's story. He quickly penned off a letter to Cecilia letting her know of the horrors happening on the Western Isles, and his chosen course of action. After sending the letter, Roy led his forces towards Mt Ebrakhm to try and free the people suffering from forced labor. Etruria had assigned Bishop Oro of the Elimine Church to supervise the mine. A fortune's worth of minerals had already been taken from the mine, but it seems Etruria's greed knew no bounds... Ebrakhm...the Mine of Death. The desperate wails of the people forced into labor echoed through the mines like the howling of ghosts...

Strategy
Boy, is this chapter tough. this is just one of those vile chapters where it is s random, you don't know what will happen next. This is what I usually do (You may choose not to do what I do): Notice there is a cracked wall at the top. Now, I will send Rutger (Promoted by this time), Alan, Lance and Saul or Ellen to the wall. They will destroy the the 100HP wall and deal with the Fighter and the Bandits waiting to ambush there. Then, I will send Rutger to kill (Oro) with his Killing Edge.

At the starting point, I will send Lugh (Promoted by this time) to deal with the Fighters and the Shaman there. I will also make Clarine (At a decent level by this time) rush down to that particular area to await Klein's arrival. Lugh will rush all the way to the bottom most village and visit it first. When Klein appears, Clarine will charge to him and Talk. When Klein joins, I will make him go up to where Tate and her units (who by now are attacking Alan and Lance at the top) and talk to her. Echidna should have appeared by this time. I will have Lalum make her way to her, all the while keeping out of the advancing Bandits' attack range and Lugh, Alan and Lance dealing with them.

I will make Wolt (At a decent level b this time) use a Longbow to kill the Fighter right at the bottom. When all this is done, I will take my time Arena abusing, shopping and visiting the villages. I will make Roy conquer the throne after all this.
