Plot

Main article:The Master Tactician/Script

With Myrddin under Imperial control,Adrestia turns its attention to the Alliance capital of Derdriu.Edelgard elaborates thatClaude has kept the Empire out by acting as an intermediary between the pro-Empire and pro-Church factions of the Alliance and keeping them in a state of balanced power so that none may act against each other.Hubert explains that Claude has placed Derdriu on lockdown. As House Riegan is the center of the pro-Church faction of the Alliance, taking Derdriu will topple the pro-Church faction and bring the Alliance fully to Adrestia's side.

The week of the invasion of Derdriu, Edelgard recounts the story of the 10 Elites and the Relics. She explains that the Relics were created by mankind, only to be collected bySeiros after she manipulated the people of the world and killed the Liberation KingNemesis. She reveals that the age-old claim that Nemesis was corrupted by his power is a lie and that the true reason for the conflict was not to defeat Nemesis but to unify Fódlan. After conquering his Kingdom, the Immaculate One and her family then took control ofFódlan with the aid of Edelgard's distant ancestor, the first emperor of Adrestia. Meanwhile, Claude and theAlmyran generalNader lament the current state of affairs and the incoming battle with the Empire. The Imperial forces engage Claude in battle, and emerge victorious; Nader is driven off, Derdriu is brought under Imperial control, and Claude is spared or executed at the player's discretion. If Claude is spared, he approaches Byleth and Edelgard to explain he is leaving Fódlan. He asks Edelgard to show mercy to the Alliance and his former classmates and reveals that he has arranged for control of Alliance territory and resources to transfer to Edelgard. If Claude is killed, Edelgard theorizes that he arranged the battle so that the war between Adrestia andLeicester would come to an end with a minimal amount of bloodshed no matter the outcome. Either way, the Empire celebrates their victory and returns to the monastery to prepare for battle againstFaerghus.
