Retreat! (Japanese:撤退戦Retreat Battle) is the fifth chapter of Part III ofFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. In this chapter, theLaguz Alliance defends against a surprise attack fromBegnion during their supposed three-day ceasefire.

Plot

Main articles:Retreat!/Script andRetreat!/Conversations

At Castle Gaddos inBegnion,Levail and a few soldiers praiseZelgius for his most recent success in battle. A senator, on the other hand, is infuriated with him for only killing one laguz.Lombroso, a Begnion commander hears the senator's frustrations and informs him that he will lead a force to exterminate the laguz in spite of Zelgius's order for a ceasefire. Meanwhile at Seliora Castle,Ike informsReyson thatRanulf and his forces have already begun their retreat. Ike encourages Reyson to return toGallia, but Reyson refuses and elects to fight alongside Ike. Not long after, Lombroso and his Begnion forces arrive to attack the castle, and theGreil Mercenaries hold the line.

Later on, Levail appears and commands Lombroso to stop his advance, which Lombroso reluctantly agrees to. After his forces retreat,Janaff,Ulki, andTibarn arrive to meet with Ike. Tibarn informs Ike that the forces they just fought were but a small band of disobedient soldiers, and that most of Begnion would hold fast to Zelgius's ceasefire. He also states that, on his way to Seliora Castle, he met withSigrun, who told him to escape at once. At Castle Gaddos, Zelgius meets with Sigrun, who brings him a message that the senate has repealed his ceasefire entirely. She also informs him that LordSephiran had been removed from his position of prime minister of Begnion, and arrested for "committing high treason and fomenting rebellion." She begs Zelgius to follow the senate's orders so that their friends' lives are not put at risk.

Late at night in Daein Keep,Pelleas andAlmedha meet withMicaiah, with Pelleas wondering whyIzuka and theBlack Knight both left Daein as soon as he was crowned king. After Almedha dotes over him, Pelleas orders Micaiah to mobilize the Daein Royal Army to wipe out the Laguz Alliance, at the request of Begnion.

Beginning log

General Zelgius's plan succeeds in breaking the morale and momentum of the laguz forces. Skrimir accepts a challenge to single combat with Zelgius and barely escapes with his life. His defeat sends a wave of doubt and fear through the Laguz Alliance. Ranulf, knowing that the situation has turned against them, orders a full retreat, and the beast tribes use the three days offered by Zelgius to recross the Ribahn and begin the long march back to Gallia.

If the player does not care about receivingexperience or items, this chapter can be easily trivialized by simply deployingIke and no one else. If Ike stays on the defend point at all times, the first enemy that will reach him is aSwordmaster that will do very little damage to him due to his strong defense. This Swordmaster will in turn block every other enemy from even reaching Ike, while the other enemies will position themselves in a way that no 2-range enemies can reach Ike, meaning he will only receive attacks from one enemy each turn. Unequipping Ike's weapon will also ensure that he does not kill the Swordmaster on retaliation, keeping them locked there for all ten turns needed. In the unlikely event that Ike somehow takes too much damage from Swordmaster critical hits, he can always use aVulnerary if necessary.

This chapter can be difficult depending on how aggressive you want to be, but your risks may be heavily rewarded if you desire to take them. Some key bits to watch out for:

Lombroso has anEnergy Drop forHeather to steal, but he's constantly guarded by at least three other horsemen, so be careful approaching him. He won't move until he's attacked though, so you can take his guards out at will if you have the time.

Among the initial cavaliers that start in front of Lombroso are one with aHorseslayer and one with aWyrmslayer. They're there to kill offOscar andHaar, so watch out. There is also a sage with aMeteor who sits at the southeast. Plan accordingly.

The troops from the West (as well as their eventual reinforcements) are rather easy to deal with using a well trainedShinon/Rolf/Soren +Reyson. The enemies with range will be stupid enough to attack you from below the gap, and most of them don't have enough movement to climb the gap effectively enough to get at you on level.

The enemies in this chapter are likely well-matched for your party at this point. But that doesn't mean you have to hunker down and hide. The pace is good, and if you've trained your party well and pay attention to threats, they'll be able to advance fast enough to get to Lombroso.
