Plot

Main article:Severing the Past/Script

As the formerDuke Aegir prepares for battle withEdelgard, he laments how he never wanted to incite a civil war, notes that he would have stayed his hand had he been allowed power in her administration, and hopes that if he fails,Ferdinand is the one to cut him down. Meanwhile, Ferdinand blames himself for his father's actions and asks Edelgard for leave to join the front lines against him. TheBlack Eagles besiege Fort Merceus, killKronya, and overpower the former Duke Aegir. As the battle comes to a close, Ferdinand personally executes his father for his treasonous actions.

In the aftermath, Edelgard has finally restored order toAdrestia and wiped out the nobles opposed to her reign. Meanwhile,Count Bergliez has successfully prevented the Kingdom from launching a counterattack to take advantage of the Empire's temporary loss of momentum. With matters in the Empire settled, Edelgard prepares to finish the fight withFaerghus. Meanwhile, Hubert worries about howThales remains at large.Shez is forced to accept that they are not likely to get answers about their past, and turns their attention to the battles ahead.

Strategy

Before deploying for this chapter's main mission, note that one of your allies is deployed in a closed off area. They cannot be aided by your other units for a while, so make sure they are bulky enough to survive an onslaught of attacks. Otherwise, make sure to spread out your units as the initial objectives demand you to take care of multiple strongholds and enemies at the same time. Once this has been completed,Anaximandros, his clones andKronya will appear. All of them use theAssassin class and wieldswords, so anylance wielder, particularly with a highly sword-resistantbattalion, is a good choice to deal with her. Once Kronya has been slain, the path to the chapter's boss opens up. Neither of the remaining sub-bosses,Viscount Fenja andViscount Menja are mandatory, and neither of them drop any items, so they can safely be ignored. TheFire Orb cannot be stopped either, thoughCount Hevring's magic will greatly reduce damage taken from them. Because of this, it is advised to head straight for the boss. TheFormer Duke Aegir is aGreat Knight and thus boasts highHP anddefense, but can be brought down quickly by making use ofeffective damage and magic. In particular, any unit withDark Spikes T can shred through his HP, allowing for a quick chapter clear. The mission's S rank reward,The Inexhaustible, is noteworthy, as it is abow that halves the cooldown of allcombat arts and is therefore useful to any team with a bow wielder.
