With help from Lysithea, Krynn's Vanguard and a large portion of the Imperial Army made their way to Qualinost for the final assault against Claude. Qualinost was under orders that no one would enter or leave the city. Claude and his army set-up in a naval port and planned to play defense against the Imperial army. Among the soldiers included Armantaro, a relative of Claude, and Hilda.
The battle began and it was obvious that it was going to be hard fought, but the party was pretty assured to take care of business. But Claude is cunning, and he'd secured the support of the Silvanesti king, Nader, who brought a small fleet and a contingent of soldiers with him, making the battle tougher.
After taking Armantaro down, Edelgard asked him to join them. She wasn't the nicest about it, but it was the heat of battle and she'd seen only a fraction of what he could do, but saw great potential and wanted him on her side. She got what she wanted.
The fight continued and the battle seemed to turn a bit as Krynn's Vanguard is being pushed to their limit. Will they be able to pull out the victory and topple the Alliance?
