The Impregnable Fortress

Narration
When Claude steps down as its leader, the Leicester Alliance disbands and its lords swear fealty to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. The chaos in the Kingdom begins to dissipate as the people unite under Dimitri's rule. Riding this momentum, the Kingdom army prepares to march south for a decisive battle against Imperial forces.

Event: The Impregnable Fortress

 * Dimitri:We will finally have our decisive battle with the Empire this month.
 * Gilbert:The eastern lords are in the process of consolidating all of the troops within the entire Kingdom.They are still some lords who side with the Empire,but i believe it is only a matter of time before they surrender.
 * Ashe:Affairs within the Kingdom have calmed down considerably,and we even managed to win over the Alliance.
 * Annette:Although it was a rough go at first,I'm starting to feel like we could actually win this!
 * Mercedes:That's true!Thinking back on it now,we've really come a long way.
 * Seteth:We even have a lead to where Rhea is located.It is as we predicted all along.If we are to rescue Rhea,then we must defeat the emperor...
 * Ashe:Um,If we're going to march from the monastery to Enbarr,then we'll have to cross the Great Bridge of Myrddin again,right?
 * Dimitri:Yes i believe so.As we have gained the Alliance's support,we should not have any trouble this time.After the bridge we can head across Grounder Field and head south.And then we'll take Merceus,the so called impregnable fortress that towers on the other side.
 * Byleth:An impregnable fortress?
 * Gilbert:Fort merceus is praised as the strongiest in the Empire.Count Bergilez,the Empire's minister of milltary affairs,once had troops stationed there.But according to our spies,a large scale force has entered the stronghold.Perhaps they are gathering soilders from various regions to compensate for their losses.
 * Byleth:
 * Choice 1:Should we try to avoid it?
 * Dimitri:Once we take fort merceus,Enbarr will be within reach.This is the Empire's last chance to stop us from arriving at our goal.
 * Sylvain:In other words.if we take this fort,then our blades wil at the emperor's throat in no time.
 * Ashe:If this is the last fort between us and them.then the emperor will likely do everything she can to stregthen it's defenses.
 * Dimitri:I just recieved a report on that very subject.The one commanding the troops stationed at fort merceus is someone we have crossed blades with many times.It is the Death Knight who awaits us there.
