TheDeliverance (Japanese:解放軍Liberation Army) is an army inFire Emblem Gaiden. It is first lead byClive, though after his failure he seeks out a new leader, a role thatAlm takes the mantle of.[1] The Liberation army started as a small force that grew in number during the events ofGaiden.
Overview
In theValentian calendar year 399,Desaix initiated his plan to take overZofia. With the royal family dead, from his doing, he easily claimed Zofia castle and the northern portion of the country. It is presumed that some time around these events the Deliverance was formed.
While the events are not described in detail, the Deliverance ends up facing dire straits, and a single soldier,Lukas, travels toRam village to seek the aid of the great heroMycen. However, after Mycen's refusal of the roleAlm takes up the title instead, and is approved by the now former leaderClive.[2] Alm, along with Lukas,Kliff,Gray, andTobin begin their journey to meet up with the remaining Deliverance forces. Alm rescuesClair, another Deliverance member, and Clive's sister, from the clutches of Desaix's army along the way.
After meeting up with the other members, and now fully under the command of its new leader, Alm learns the shocking fact that Desaix has been requesting aid fromRigel.[3] The Liberation army marches to Zofia castle and clears it of Desaix's soldiers, however, Desaix himself flees before he is in any true danger, leaving a double and his underlingSlayde behind to distract Alm.[4]
After the successful liberation of Zofia castle Alm pushes towards Rigel and the fleeing Desaix. After facing many battles the Deliverance once again encounters Desaix, and this time, he is not a double. Desaix has aPaladin,Mathilda, captured, but it does not deter the Deliverance, and Alm is able to kill Desaix and rescue Mathilda.
Afterwards, Alm pushes towards Rigel and crosses the floodgate. For a time the Deliverance is trapped by hordes ofnecrodragons within the Dragon Crater in the southwestern reaches of Rigel. AfterCelica's intervention elsewhere the Deliverance is able to escape from the mountain and proceed. The army successfully launches an attack on Rigel's emperor,Rudolf. It is here that Alm finds out that said man had been his father, after a brief period of grieving Alm enters the basement of Rigel castle with his army to rescueCelica, recoverFalchion, and stopDuma.
