Introduction[]

(The sun is shining after the rain. The fragrance of roses is in the air of this quiet town. As a group of doves fly across the sky, their shadows pass over the window.)
(The curtain in the house is drawn abruptly.)
Ozeca: Colonel, just as you expected, people heard the news and took action.
Nidhogg: How's the current situation?
Ozeca Many people have come and filled this small town. However, it's not someone from Nameless Chivalric Order...but the commander of the Apple Federation.
(The man in black sitting in the corner slightly raises his eyes, then lowers his head and keeps cleaning the sniper rifle in his hand.)
Nidhogg: It seems like someone gave the information away.
Ozeca I didn't know they had an informant in such a small town...Colonel, what shall we do?
Nidhogg: King Zhu's men haven't arrived yet. Breaking out by force will do no good for us.
Ozeca: But... Do we have to wait for King Zhu's men to come? He has waged a war against Yue Qianshuang at Lor River. It's unclear when...
Nidhogg: (Interrupt) I am not saying we just sit around waiting to be killed.
Nidhogg: Shade.
(The man in black in the corner stands up and walks out of the shadow.)
(The light in the house is too dim to see his face under the hood clearly. He's like a real gray shadow, hiding in the dark.)
Nidhogg: The league will confront that commander tonight to serve as your cover. You'll execute the mission on your own.
Shade: Hmm.
(Shade leaves the room silently as if he's never been here.)
Ozeca: ...Going to Plata alone? We know nothing about that place yet. Even for Shade...
Nidhogg: That fact that we don't know anything means anything he brings back will be valuable information, even if it's not the treasure.
(In a mansion on the other side of the town)
(Kimi explains the situation while drawing a circle on the map.)
Orlando: Is that...Plata?
Kimi: That's right. I am guessing that it might be Nidhogg's real destination.
Orlando: I didn't expect that a city that was once just a legend would be involved in the war of this land...
(After a brief silence, Orlando re-examines the map.)
Orlando: It's true that Del Nord is just an insignificant small town. There's no point for Nidhogg to stay here for long. Unless he's planning to go somewhere else.
Kimi: If you are going to Plata, which is at the foot of Renieve Snowpeaks, you will definitely pass Del Nord. And it's the best place for the soldiers of League Tyr to stop and rest.
Orlando: That makes sense.
Kimi: However, about Plata... I didn't find any useful information.
Orlando: Don't worry. That's normal. The name 'Silver City' Plata hasn't been heard on this land for years. Most people probably have forgotten about it.
Kimi: 'Silver City'?
Orlando: Plata was a well-known city founded by the dwarves, it was rich in silver and fine silver products. That's why it was called the 'Silver City'. That was 1,100 years ago.
Orlando: There might be more secrets than we have imagined. Nidhogg has got the clues before us. We should take the time to do our research too.
Kimi: Sorry, Orlando, you have to explore Plata on your own. After this war is over, I have to go to the Pigeon Forest.
Orlando: Perhaps that's why you have brought Mrs. Xinglin to the battlefield?
Kimi: I know it is dangerous, but Mrs. Xinglin's ability can help keep the Pigeon Forest away from danger for a while. I will do my best to protect her.
(Orlando looks out the window. After the rain, the roses are blooming again.)

Kimi - Apple Apparel Group[]

Want to be an excellent designer? Welcome to the Apple Apparel Group.

(In the town of Del Nord, a humble house has been made into a temporary command center.)
Kimi: It must be a lot of trouble for you to come to the Pigeon Forest with us.
Xinglin: No problem. It's not like you ask me for help every day. After so many years apart, Kimi, you have become a capable person.
Kimi: Too much has happened. I can't be a little girl forever.
Xinglin: Now you look nothing like your mother.
(Hearing her mother being mentioned, Kimi seems to be lost in thoughts for a mere second.)
Kimi: Before we catch up. let's get to somewhere safe first.
Kimi: We took the risk and asked you to be here because the guardian elf of the Pigeon Forest was hurt and is still unconscious. Now the Pigeon Forest is a mess.
Xinglin: Before I came here, I also looked through the medical records about elves. But I didn't find any case that matches your description.
Kimi: To this point, I can't think of a better person t0 treat him other than you.
Xinglin: I will do my best. You have my word.
Kimi: I am relived to hear that. The situation out there is chaotic. Please don't be scared.
Kimi: I will keep a few of my best people to protect you. If things go out of control, they will escort you to somewhere safe.
(You are told to inform Kimi about the battle, so you knock on the door of the command room.)
Kimi: Come in.
I: Miss Kimi, Orlando sent me to report that Nidhogg and his army are stationed at the town's north-west side. He is going with an elite squad and asks you to back up in the rear.
Kimi: Alright, let's stick to the plan. Let's go.
I: Yes!

Orlando - Federal Land Force[]

Will you join our army to protect the peace of Miraland?

(The sunset gives the whole town a gilded glow and covers the unusual atmosphere.)
(With the new information I have just gathered, I knock on the commander's door.)
I: Commander, League Tyr has stopped at the north-west side of the town. It seems like they will be resting there for a while.
Orlando: Alright. Good work. The number of opponents is large. Fortunately, we arrived early and have time to take some preventive measures.
I: But, Commander, how did you know they would be resting there?
Orlando: This town is small, with only a few places for them to rest, most of which happen to be the family assets of Kimi's friend, Felicia. Rule them out and the answer was obvious.
I: Felicia... Is she the lady who provided information to us?
Orlando: That's right. Thanks to her, we managed to set up an ambush here.
I: But... I still don't understand why it is necessary to confront Nidhogg in such a small town? What's so special about this place?
(Orlando smiles and motions me to look out the window.)
I: I can see nothing outside the window...
Orlando: Did you see the snowy mountains in the distance?
I: Snowy mountains... Yes! That must be the famous Renieve Snowpeaks!
Orlando: That's right. If we don't want to cross Renieve Snowpeaks from the other side, we must go through this town to get to the 'Silver City' at the foot of the peak.
I: You mean...the 'Silver City' is Nidhogg's true destination?!
Orlando: You are very clever.
I: Then what's so special about the 'Silver City'? Is it worth Nidhogg's while to come this far?
Orlando:
I: ...What?! You don't know?!
Orlando: The information on Plata the Silver City is limited, most from 1,000 years ago. But Nidhogg must have found new clues worthy of leading his soldiers to get there in person.
Orlando: It may be inappropriate to praise an enemy leader, but he would only focus on something achievable. I don't think he's going to waste his time on irrelevant things.
Orlando: We can't be passive this time. We need to stop him from entering Plata so that we'll have the time to explore this 'Silver City'.
I: Ah, you're right! I see!
Orlando: When they stop and rest, Your team and you can come with me to check the situation.
I: Although they are resting, there will be guards...
Orlando: Don't worry. We're just the bait. Being discovered by them is also a part of the plan. Prepare for battle!
I: Yes, Commander!

Louie - Nameless Order[]

You will have to forget your name forever once you choose this path. Are you prepared? My comrades.

(Pigeon Forest)
Forest Elf Elder: Thank you for coming to support us. After His Highness went into a coma, the situation at Pigeon Forest is getting worse day by day.
Louie: With Nameless Chivalric Order's protection, all of you will be safe.
Forest Elf Elder: The only question is when His Highness will wake up from the coma...
Louie: Kimi has found the former researcher of Rosset Research Institute. With her help, Chloris will regain consciousness soon.
Forest Elf Elder: That's a great relief. These days, my people are all worn out trying to fight against those bad guys.
Louie: That's what Ace was worried about. So he sent me to help you defend the Pigeon Forest.
(Suddenly, from the depths of the forest came the elves' screams of horror.)
Louie: Follow me, let's go check what happened.
I: Yes, your highness.
(You and Louie ride the horses to where the screams came from.)
(In the dense forest, elves are running everywhere. A man was smirking and shooting the elves unscrupulously with a pistol. He is no other than Gray Raven.)
(In front of him lies an elf who's shot in the leg, unable to move.)
(As Gray Raven goes to the elf to fire a bullet, Louie arrives just in time and swings his sword at Gray Raven. The latter's hand moves and the bullet is shot into the ground.)
Gray Raven: Tsk, what a bummer. Some people are here to kill the mood.
(Gray Raven snaps his fingers. Suddenly, you and Louie are surrounded by a crowd of people.)
Louie: Now that I am here, what do you think you can do?
(With these words, Louie blows a whistle, which is the sign for Nameless Chivalric Order to gather.)
(All of a sudden, Nameless Chivalric Order, Forest Elf warriors, and Gray Raven's followers are about to fight. The tension begins to grow.)
Gray Raven: Let's see who can have the last laugh.
Louie: Fight!

Yue Qianshuang - Army Yue[]

Joining Yue House's Army means to put life and death aside. Are you ready?

(Cloud Capital, Recruits Camp, Army Yue)
(The soldiers are doing the drills in perfect order. I am one of them. The scorching sun is shining on my face, and beads of sweat are sliding down.)
Chief of New Recruits: Good job, everyone. it has been a hard month.
Chief of New Recruits: We'll be attacking Lor River City tomorrow. It will be your first challenge. Are you ready?
New Recruits: Yeah!
(The loud response from the excited recruits echo in the camp. At this moment, a dignified tail general in armor enters the camp.)
I: ...It's General Yue!
(The recruits suddenly get nervous. But some of them are still whispering in excitement.)
Yue Qianshuang: Congratulations! After a month of tough trial, you have now become members of Army Yue!
(The recruits start cheering. Although we all know that the trial will end today, the presence of General Yue is definitely irreplaceable and inspiring.)
Yue Qianshuang: But it doesn't mean that you can let your guard down. I think the commander has already told you about the mission. It will be your first battle and I hope you'll give your best!
I: General, are we going to eliminate Nidhogg, the man who disturbed the peace of the Cloud?
Yue Qianshuang: Haha! I can see that you love the Cloud. However, our target is not Nidhogg but Zhu Yuxian this time.
I: Zhu Yuxian... Hasn't he disappeared a long time ago?
Yue Qianshuang: He didn't leave the Cloud. On the contrary, he has been bringing trouble to us under our nose.
Yue Qianshuang: With the help of Lor River's General Zhong, I found the fake identity used by Zhu Yuxian - Zhan Qiuming.
I: ...The leader of Clan Zhan from the North? Zhan Qiuming is Zhu Yuxian? Really?!
(Everyone at the camp starts whispering.)
Yue Qianshuang: The mission starts the new evidence I found when I was investigating Zhan Qiuming. Although I don't know what he's going to do next, we must stop him before he leaves the Cloud!
Yue Qianshuang: It'll be a dangerous mission. Be prepared, everyone, we'll set off tomorrow!
New Recruits: Yes!

Nidhogg - League Tyr[]

Do you want to join League Tyr?

(Nidhogg's troops slows down by Del Nord. They are preparing to camp and rest. The setting sun shines through the forest, casting rippling light and shadow on the ground.)
I: Colonel, this place barely has any barriers. We'll be at disadvantage if we're attacked. Why do we choose a place like this to rest?
Nidhogg: A fool thinks he is wise. Maybe they are thinking that we are doing them a favor right now.
I: You mean, someone is going to ambush us here?
Nidhogg: If they are the same as what I thought, or they'll be even dumber in my eyes.
I: But we're just going after 'Dwarf's Treasure' at the Silver City, aren't we?
Ozeca: That's just a smoke bomb.
I: A smoke bomb? What do you mean by that?
Ozeca: The Colonel already sent Shade to Plata to search for 'Dwarf's Treasure', and the Tyr alliance is just there to cover what Shade is doing.
I: I understood. What should we do then?
Nidhogg: Just proceed as planned in front of them.
Ozeca: Let's pretend that we've fallen into their trap to slow them down as much as possible.
I: I see.
(Some troops charge out of the shadow of the trees and the leader is Orlando.)
(Nidhogg quickly turns around and jumps onto his horse, leading the Tyr Alliance into the battle.)
Ozeca: Why are you still standing there? Follow us!
I: Ah... Yes!

Shade - Invisible Blade[]

Invisible. Silent, Elusive. Join the Invisible Blade.

(In Plata, the 'Silver City', an enormous castle is standing in the deep forest.)
(The castle looks old but has been well maintained and is in good condition.)
(Shade and you are hiding on top of a spire roof while checking the situation.)
Shade Did you find anything when you were scouting the area?
I This castle looks the same as other castles.
Shade That's because you haven't observed it carefully enough. This castle is owned by an ancient family of Pigeon Kingdom called Hermann, and Mech Witch was from this family.
I You mean, there will be a lot of traps in this castle?
Shade We don't have enough evidence to prove it. But rumors say that a lady from Clan Hermann once married a man from the Ruin.
I The Ruin? A noble lady from the Pigeon Kingdom will never marry a man from a different country, right?
Shade Maybe the man had something that interested them. Clan Hermann was famous for their research on magic and they crafted a series of incredible mechanical devices after that.
I I should have paid more attention. Since the castle is owned by such a strong clan, it must be filled up with traps.
(The moonlight is blocked by the moving clouds from time to time. Shades stares at the castle as if he's pondering. You somehow feel afraid just by looking at the castle.)
Shade As an assassin, you should always prioritize your mission. Don't show that expression again.
I Sorry, it's my fault.
Shade Let's start our mission then.
I Wait, you said that traps are everywhere in the castle. If we force our way into the castle, will we be in trouble?
Shade It depends. If you're faster than the traps, there won't be any problem.
(Before finishing his words, Shade jumps to the top of another tower, and you follow him closely.)

Grey Raven - Clinic No. 6[]

Are you going to accept my makeover? You can gain unprecedented strength.

(A Temporary Tent in the Pigeon Forest)
I: Doctor...Gray Raven... We just entered the Pigeon Forest without disguise... is that okay
Gray Raven: What do you think?
(Gray Raven keeps his iconic mysterious smile. I have no idea what he is implying. Momo is also just smiling.)
I: It looks fine to me.
Gray Raven: Then don't worry about it. Just relax.
I: Well, I understand but...
Gray Raven: You're a cautious person. If that's the case, did you notice anything different?
I: Different... The Pigeon Forest is heavily guarded. If we get too close, the elves will know, so we need to be very careful. But this time... Nothing stopped us as we traveled...
Peachy: That's correct! You're not dumb!
Gray Raven: According to the intel, Prince Chloris, the guardian of the Pigeon Forest is unconscious at the moment, and won't wake up without taking special measures.
I: Prince Chloris in unconscious... Which means the defense system of the Pigeon Forest is...
Peachy: Is collapsed! It's a great chance to collect data and specimen!
Gray Raven: I hope no one interrupts us.
Peachy: Don't worry, doctor. We'll be on our way back before they can reach the Pigeon Forest.
Gray Raven: No... According to the latest message, the one stays with Nidhogg in Del Nord is not the Nameless Order but the commander from the Apple Federation. So...
I: ...Nameless Order is going after us?!
Gray Raven: You're right. I think you are getting smarter.
Peachy: Doctor, what should we do?
Gray Raven: It'll take them a while to reach the Pigeon Forest. We should complete the mission as soon as possible. Of course... We need to be ready for battle.
I: Yes!

Zhu Yuxian - Phoenix's Feather[]

Ills difficult to break through. Can you help me?

(Cloud Empire. Zhu Yuxian and his team are driving a carriage at full speed at the foot of the mountain.)
(Inside the dashing carriage, Zhu Yuxian is studying a map of the Pigeon Kingdom carefully.)
Zhu Yuxian: Do you have any intel on the Pigeon Forest?
I: Human beings, elves, dwarfs, and gnomes are all living in the Pigeon Forest. The forest is humongous. It's called the Pigeon Forest but it's not referring to any specific forest.
Zhu Yuxian: Good, you did collect some useful intel.
I: I've never been to the Pigeon Forest, but I heard the place has a wonderful view of lake and forest.
Zhu Yuxian: That's true. But we don't have much time for that.
I: Sorry, King Zhu...
Zhu Yuxian: Where are we now?
I: We're reaching Lor River City.
Zhu Yuxian: Great. We can take a train to Pigeon after arriving at Lor River.
I: Yes!
(When King Zhu is telling me about the battle tactics, the carriage suddenly stops. I am caught off guard and fall.)
Zhu Yuxian: ...What happened?
I: ...Someone stopped us! It looks like...someone from Clan Yue.
Zhu Yuxian: ...Yue Qianshuang? Don worry. You're a member of Clan Zhan now.
(Zhu Yuxian quickly arranges his outfit and is about to draw the curtains of the carriage aside.)
Zhu Yuxian: Of course... If anything goes wrong, we'll engage!
I: Yes!
