The Swordbringer... and his stooges.
*Sob* We're surrounded!
It can't end for us like this... can it?
No.
Who are they?
Catholic nuns!
The rear is clear. But it won't be for long. Hurry.
Right. I don't see the Imperial Soldiers, nor the Church of Tiamat.
We'll be leaving now, then.
Wait! Where are you two heading?
We were informed that the Church of Tiamat's human experimentation has began again nearby.
We'll find the place, and let you know once we meet again.
A human experimentation.. How awful..
...Let's return for now.
Imperial Army Camp
Welcome, Sir Mordred.
How is the battle progressing?
Never fear. It is coming along just fine. We have isolated Urien.
Very well. Now bring your cultists into the warehouse. I shall take command from here.
Lady Rowena entrusted me with the Salisbury battlefront...
You belong where I say you belong, cultist.
...
Certainly. How could I say no to King Uther's misbegotten?

You did well to get this far, Your Highness.
Well, Urien? Have we proven ourselves now?
I owe you an apology. It appears you are, indeed, a knight of the Holy Grail.
I may not look it, but I've been through hell and high water.
Can you not look at me while saying that?
Ahem, anyhow... I have some bad news, Ethan.
What is it?
Sir Mordred has brought the Imperial army to the Salisbury battlefront.
Sir Mordred...
King Uther's illegitimate son...!
...
The man who became Vortigern's dog along with House Lot.
...
Vortigern favors him greatly. I believe this is the signal of a coming full-scale attack.
E-Even so! Ethan must have a plan! Like in Cornwall!
What I did there won't work here.
The nuns...
The nuns saved us in the woods!
If a team of raiders manages to set their warehouse ablaze, their army will be forced to retreat.
Then it only puts the war off until later...
Deploying their army requires a great deal of preparation. We should gain a few months at least.
How many people do you need for this team of raiders?
As few as possible. Too many, and the scouts will catch them.
I see where this is going...
Yup. We're doin' it.
Very good. I applaud your sacrifice.
'Cause we have the Fairy Queen with us!
Wait, no. I didn't say I'm going. I'll be showering and sleeping. In a warm bed.
Oh I'll help you sleep. Six feet under.
Come on. There's all kinds of food in Cameliard. We'll be late if you don't tag along.
Haaa... This piggy can't do anything without me.
Shush! Just get ready!
I'm ready, Ethan!
No, I mean Morgana.
In order to make Mordred's army retreat, we had to burn their supply warehouse. We came up with a plan to do so.
