| - Crowe: There's a new mission for you from HQ. Kurt: Yes sir. Crowe: There is no missive, this time. I'll be giving you your orders by word only. Crowe: Kill Maximillian. Kurt: What? Crowe: I'm telling you to go assasinate Maximillian. Kurt: Are you serious about this? Crowe: HQ does seem to want this to happen. Kurt: You're making this sound easy. I do not think anything of the sort would succeed. Crowe: I'll give you some of the material that's been passed down from HQ. Look it over and tell me if your mind has changed. Kurt: Intel? ..This is?! Kurt: ..and that concludes it, our mission this time is to fight our way into Ghirlandaio.. 21: That's impossible! Giulio: So they're telling us to go drop dead, in a roundabout way. Imca: Not possible. 56: This is the worst.. Leila: I'd love to have Maximillian gone myself but HQ needs to be taught a thing or two first! Alfons: HQ does seriously need to be taught something this time. Riela: Wait, everybody! Think about this calmly! Kurt: As she says, we disobey and we will face the firing squad.. I hope you haven't forgotten that? 3: The lad is right. We can't get anything done if we don't spend time to think it over. Kurt: Yes, we'll do the most we can with our circumstances. Gusurg: Kurt, I know well what you're capable of and I trust you. ..but, I'm just not satisfied with this. Gusurg: The command in HQ is questionable, there are unanswered questions all over the place! Gusurg: They think killing the enemy commander will put an end to the war.. If that's what they think they should do it themselves! If it's even possible..! Annika: What's wrong Gusurg? You're not like yourself! 45: He's been like this since Borger.. It must be really bugging him. Kurt: Just like everyone, I had my doubts when I was first told to do this. But Lieutenant Colonel let me have a look at some intel that made me think otherwise. Alfons: Oh, let's hear about that shall we. Kurt: The enemy fortress, Ghirlandaio, has not received any troop reinforcements since the two last months. 21: Is that for real?! Are you saying the enemy forces have not increased in number at all? Kurt: The Imperials may have retreated back from the south, but right now they are maintaining a large theatre. Kurt: Just like we confirmed during the mission with His Eminence Borgia, the enemy frontlines and several points of importance are the only places they have set up garrison. Riela: What does that mean? Kurt: Ghirlandaio may be literally empty at this moment. Valerie: Is that true? Kurt: I personally think it is worth the trip to confirm it. Gusurg: A single platoon taking an entire fortress is absolutely ridiculous! Kurt: Even then, we can only do as ordered. Our squad. Kurt: (Though, this does beg the question, who provided this intel...?) Kurt: (Crowe may have said this came from above but..) Isler: Some daring operation this is, assasination. Isler: Though, Maximillian is indeed a threat to us all. Isler: If he dies, so be it. Isler: And if the Nameless get wiped out, it doesn't matter as well. That's what they are for. Isler: Hm.. hehehe. As already discussed, we will move towards Ghirlandaio, and carry out the assasination of the enemy commander-in-chief, Maximillian. Without question, we'll have to get past the enemy line set up around the fortress. The intel provided has suggested that the forces surrounding the fortress have thinned. We will break through their first line of defense, then move to a point where we can observe the fortress. If the chance to get into the fortress presents itself, we will use it carefully and break in, then put an end to the war if we are given the opportunity. Break in, achieve our goal, and get out quick. There is no telling what the chances of success are, but if this goes well, we may as well bring an end to the fight right now. The mission is worth the risk.
