Chapter 27: Moment of Fate (Pre-Battle)
So Tibarn drops by and says that the Black Knight is around. WHOO BOY! Soren gives us the report and it looks like Ike is the MVP. I can dig it. And the first thing I do is give Ike the last two levels he needs! He's maxed out at Speed, Strength, Skill, and Defense. So hoorah for him. Then I level Gatrie, Volke, and Ilyana to level 8.
And a second support convo... for Volke and Bastian! Volke and Bastian are buddies and Bastian has some good info I guess. Bastian says that his doubts about Ike and Volke are put to rest, to which Volke says "How kind of you."
"Bastian?"
"Yeeeees?"
"You're well suited to skulking behind the scenes and playing the puppeteer."
Haha. Volke asks him if he wants to change careers, but Bastian says his loyalty lies with Crimea. Alrighty then! Then only one info conversation. Weak. And then Ike just tells Titania about how Greil died. They talk about how Ike shouldn't die trying to fight him... and... I guess that's it for this pre-battle shenanigans.
PS - I get that Ashnard is all "Wooooah I want calamity!" But that's dumb for the leading general in an army. Like, if he was just one of the sub-generals, I think it'd be fine. But this dude leads an entire country of people and somehow gets to that level of power and has all of these people under him. I dunno, I think it'd be fine if he were on the level of, say, Petrine or someone... but this dude is putting calamity before the success of his country which I find very silly. I don't care for him as a villain.
