“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...”

StrategyEdit

For the best reward for completing this chapterEdit

It is possible to save all of the villages, Klein's units, and Tate's units all at the same time. That being said, this is mostly based on your luck with aIl of Klein's and Thite's units, so it can be difficult. This can be done by having a Paladin (like a promoted Alen or Lance) rush to the very right villages, ignoring the cracked wall. When Klein's units arrive, get Clarine into his range and talk to him (it may require several tries depending on your luck. Sometimes, Klein will not move away from his starting position). By the time Klein arrives, your Paladin should already be on the right side saving the most right villages in time from the bandits range. Once you talk to Klein, have your characters with high Constitution rescue the archers.

When Ekhidna comes in, be sure to have some of your characters kill the Fighters and rescue her as soon as possible (you don't want her to go on a rampage killing Thite and her units) and get her into Lalum's range. Have Lalum talk to her.

At that time you have Ekhidna in your party, Thite and her Pegasus squad should arrive. If you have your paladin equipped with iron and steel weapons, it would a good time drop all of the weapons and get into the range of the pegasi. Alternatively, you can have a level 20 Sue (without a bow equipped since she may end up killing Thite or one of her four pegasi) or Clarine via arena abusing do the job (or a level 20 Bors without his weapons who should have high enough defense that the pegasi's attack will always deal 0 damage) although his movement speed would severely limit him), who should have high speed by then (just make sure you give them vulneraries should they get hit). Due to the AI, the pegasi should prioritize attacking units without equipped weapons (or in cases with bow users, attack in melee range).

The biggest concern would be the cavaliers appearing from your starting point, as your units rescuing the archers will hinder your speed. Luckily, should you have Rutger promoted into a Swordmaster with a good level, you can take the cavaliers down in a breeze. The cavaliers should attack southwards if most of your units are located at the southeast corner.

Once you've dealt with all the remaining enemy units (excluding Thite and her pegasus squad) and the boss, have Shanna talk to Thite and use your Paladin to rescue Thite and bring her into Klein's range. At that point, you can freely release the archers and all the units should flee safely.

Note: This strategy may not work in Hard Mode, as there will be a second group with a paladin, Robarts, which will come into the field from Klein's starting point after the first group of cavaliers enter.
