What happened between you two?
Captain Andre! How long are you going to dwell
on the misunderstandings of the past?
Misunderstandings? Who am I misunderstanding? You, who outshone your superior
on the battlefield, driven by ambition, and boasted of your exploits?
You've held onto this resentment for far too long.
I'll be reporting this to the council!
Report? Ah, honorable Lord Valks... once I've claimed a glorious victory,
what weight will your pathetic report have?

Captain Vidal, it was merely the result of being in the right place at the right time.
Luck was the only determining factor. Nothing more.

when Commander Castillion took the field.

Step 16
Objective
We don't have time for this.
Summary
Who do you think you are? You're just an outsider!

I've assembled an advance party consisting of skilled soldiers
and knights to advance on Quint Hill. Hehe.

Step 18
Objective
Captain Valks thought it's proper to report to you first.
Summary
Huh? Why would you say that, Captain Valks?
Your mercenary here seems more than capable.
Don't tell me you don't know how to get to Quint Hill?
Ha! To think the Chief of Capital Security doesn't know the lay of the land!
Of course not. Captain, as you're the person in charge,
I deemed it necessary to report any anomalies to you first.

Captain Andre!

Step 25
Objective
Give us a brief on the situation, Captain Vidal.
Summary
You're... a mercenary. This is ridiculous.
A knight doesn't report to a mercenary!
This is an absolute load of shit. I cannot believe...
Listen up! I'll only say this once.
Normally, Trolls only attack people when they're hungry.
We have no idea why they're suddenly acting like this.
Are we done here? Oh. If you want to make yourselves useful,
deal with the ones firing the catapults over there.

Step 39
Objective
Could you tell me about Black Mane NPC Knowledge?
Summary
Ah, you must be the one
who took down the Troll Boss Quint.
With your skills, you should be stationed
at the Anti-Troll Fortification.
Black Mane NPC Knowledge is a troll who rules over his kind as an elder.
They call each other elders and bosses—it's almost comical, really, haha.
But all jokes aside, we learned this
after losing many of the Republic's finest knights.
What makes Black Mane truly terrifying
isn't just his raw power but his sharp intellect as well.

Step 40
Objective
Interesting. Can you give me a rough idea of where Black Mane NPC Knowledge is?
Summary
Are you willing to take on this task? Hmm...
It feels like I'm burdening you with my responsibilities, and that weighs on me.
But knowing that someone like you, who defeated Quint,
is on the job does put my mind at ease.
Still, be cautious, Adventurer.
Black Mane NPC Knowledge is incredibly cunning.
Ah, I almost forgot! I have something
that might aid you in your mission.
It's a tactic to lure out Black Mane.
He likes calm and quiet, so loud noises are his bane.
I have an alarm scroll that should do the trick.
This scroll was designed to jolt everyone
to attention during times of war.
