The Art of Mercy - Chapter 3: Grave of the Fallen - Episode 1

(Captain) and the others look around the base for Altair and find him relaying instructions to a messenger. Their silver-haired friend explains that he is making additional arrangements as a precaution.

---

Lyria: I've finished checking our food supply, Shura!

Vyrn: Our gunpowder stock's lookin' good too!

Shura: Thank you, (Captain). You too, Vyrn, Lyria. I appreciate the help.

A few days have passed since their successful infiltration of the Tatar military base.

The Erdeni soldiers are busying themselves with checking their supplies at the base as they prepare for the capture of Zaha.

Vyrn: Anythin' else ya want me to do?

Lyria: Please let me know if I can help with anything too!

Shura: Haha, thank you very much.

Shura: Then may I ask you to pass this on to Altair? It's a written report on our current status.

Shura: I suspect he should be at the command center.

Lyria: Okay! Let's go, (Captain)!

(Captain) and the others run off to deliver the report. Shura lets out a sigh and shifts her attention to the documents in her hand.

Shura: As long as they still have the capital, they'll always have the upper hand...

Shura whispers this softly to herself as she scans the area.

Soldiers run to and fro, readying themselves for the upcoming battle.

Despite the bustle, the soldiers don confident expressions as they hurry about, as if the hopelessness they had felt a short while ago is already long forgotten.

Shura: I can only hope that their high spirits won't backfire...

(Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn walk around the base looking for a sign of their silver-haired friend.

Lyria: Hmm, where could Altair be...

Vyrn: They did say he was at the command center just a while ago, but no one's seen him since...

As they continue their hunt, they hear a familiar voice nearby.

Altair's Voice: Yes. Keep an eye on their movements and make the necessary arrangements...

Vyrn: Huh? Hey, isn't that Altair talking?

They follow the voice to the back gate of the base that leads to the Uden Bridge.

Altair: Please pass on the message.

Erdeni Messenger: Yes, sir!

The messenger salutes Altair and runs off toward the bridge. (Captain) calls out to Altair.

Altair: Ah, (Captain). Was there something you needed from me?

Vyrn: That guy sure was in a hurry... Somethin' wrong?

Altair: No, not yet. It's merely a precaution... Or rather, insurance for when we need it.

Lyria: Insurance?

Altair: As they say, better safe than sorry. It is important to make countermeasures ahead of time for every possible situation.

Altair: In any case, this is only another form of preparation. Ideally, everything will go according to plan.

Altair: Let's hope there will be no need to implement anything further than that...

Altair gazes into the distance toward Zaha, a blazing conviction in his eyes.

(Captain) and the others follow his gaze, squinting at the distant outline of the city as they hold their breath in anticipation.
