Preparations Kayachey: It appears the Crimean army has arrived. It's time to put our plan into action. Naesala: The main body of the Kilvas army will wait atop the western summit. A small unit will remain here and cooperate with you. This is correct, is it not? Kayachey: Mm, it is. Daein Soldier: What could His Majesty be thinking? Why does Daein ally herself with some backwater sub-human nation? Kayachey: ...I don't know. There's no way we can expect to understand the supreme thoughts of the king. All we can do is perform the tasks set before us by His Highness. That is everything. Daein Soldier: Yes, of course! Kayachey: The Crimean army has no idea we're aware of their every move. Bah! What vermin... What does that untrained group of vagabonds think they can do? I don't care how talented he is. Their commander is nothing more than a young mercenary with delusions of grandeur. We've nothing to fear. Daein Soldier: We'll show them what real war is like! And...the Kilvas ravens? How should we deal with them? Kayachey: Those sub-human freaks! Let's use them as bait. We can sacrifice them and reduce our own human casualties. Daein Soldier: A fantastic idea! Kayachey: Make sure that the men are thoroughly instructed. Daein Soldier: Yes, sir!
Reporting In Naesala: What's that? The border's been breached? Raven Laguz: Everyone was defeated. Not only the Daein troops, but our brigade as well. Cut down like wheat in a field. Naesala: Huh! Well, that was impressively done. Er, for a band of sellswords, that is. There's nothing else to do. Send a message to the Daein command and tell them the enemy is stronger than expected. Raven Laguz: At once. Naesala: Wait! Hold a moment. Raven Laguz: Yes? Naesala: Send a Daein human instead. I don't care which one. Just don't use any of our troops. Raven Laguz: But a wingless human will take such a long time to-- Naesala: General Petrine commands the next front. She's a very...temperamental woman... But go if you like! Tell her that the Kilvas ravens have been defeated... She'll roast you like a chicken and use your bones for stock! Raven Laguz: Un-understood! I will find a human!
