“The Akaneian heroes hurried in Altea, but they would not go unchallenged. Waiting for them at Fort Menedy were Grust's artillery regiment, the dreaded "Wooden Cavalry." Missiles crashed down, rocking the earth as the enemy ballistae rumbled forward. Had Marth and the League any hope of triumphing over such firepower?”
—Opening Narration
The Wooden Cavalry is Chapter 13 of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.
This chapter was cut from Book 1 of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. All enemies (except for 2 Thieves, a Curate and Astram) are Ballisticians.

Strategy
Edit
This chapter is hard for Flying units, you can use the Class Swap to transform all your fliers into non-flying, swift units if you want.
There are more than 10 Ballisticians here, so prepare your stronger weapons, because this is hard. Do not take out Mages, because they have low defence and so they can die with one or two shots. Bring Midia in center to recruit Astram. Remember to keep any healers out of balllista range.
A well armored unit like a high level Paladin or General able take several hits from a ballista would be really useful. DracoKnights are also well armored units, but are ineffective and vulnerable against multiple ballistae
Go to the village and Beck (a ballistician) will join you.
The boss has a ballista called Pachyderm that is extremely powerful and his defense is very high (although his Resistance is weak)
Enemy ReinforcementsEdit
None
ArmoryEdit
- Iron Sword - 400g
- Steel Sword - 875g
- Silver Sword - 2,000g
- Killing Edge - 1,500g
- Armorslayer - 1,000g
NotesEdit
- Astram - A hero who has fallen in love with Midia. A decent replacement for Ogma or Caesar if both of them were lost, even though his speed won't level up much, and won't be very good in the end. Careful, the star crossed lover will kill Midia if he's close, similar to Matthis and Lena.
- Beck - A ballistician you find in a village. Useful because of his giant range and a good alternative for Jake. He also comes with a Thunderbolt, which is highly effective against the many ballisticians. A ballistician just to the north of the castle has a Thunderbolt too, so be aware of this. Usage of Beck varies with player opinion. He has better stat growths and start stats than Jake in almost every area.
ExtraEdit
- You find Ridersbane, Hoistflamme, and Wyrmslayer.
- TIP: Be careful with fliers if you brought any, as the ballisticians will definitely destroy them.
- TIP: If used properly, Shiida can be useful in clearing the ballisticans in the upper and lower paths; if some of the ballisticans closer to the castle are defeated, then she can help clear the middle pass too.
