The Rising Darkness is the ninth chapter of the Scarlet Blaze route of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, and the twelfth overall.
Story[]
Just as the Imperial army conquers the western Kingdom and prepares to march toward Fhirdiad for a showdown with Dimitri to put an end to the war, they receive news of violent revolts spreading across Hrym and Ordelia, territories on the Imperial and Alliance sides of the Airmid River. While the Kingdom recovers from its recent battles, the Empire hurries southeast to deal with the unrest as quickly as possible.
Edelgard and Hubert's suspicion of involvement from those who slither in the dark is bolstered by the discovery of targeted assassinations in the affected territories, allowing for the proliferation of bandits, rogues, and thieves plundering and pillaging the surrounding towns. Hanneman and Leonie desperately try to save as many citizens of eastern Hrym territory until the Imperial army arrives to mount its own large-scale rescue mission.

If Byleth and Jeralt are recruited to the Imperial army, Leonie is grateful for the Empire's assistance and fights with them to protect the citizens of Hrym.
The rogues Pallardó and Metodey take advantage of the chaos by attacking the citizens and stealing from them, though both are killed before they can cause any more trouble. It turns out that the attacks were coordinated by Solon, the dark mage who fled from Garreg Mach Monastery before the start of the war. Although Solon is defeated, he escapes once again, promising another attack when the opportunity presents itself.
While Edelgard and Hubert grapple with how to comfort the survivors of the deadly attacks, they receive even more bad news--the former Duke Aegir has resurfaced and gathered supporters (including those who slither in the dark) to storm Fort Merceus as a launching point for a full-on assault on Enbarr.
Recruitment[]
Leonie can be recruited during the main quest "The Pacification of Hrym" (costs 30 Strategic Resource points), then completing the quest to escort her to safety.
