29. Bethla Garrison - Big tide of War . 1 ... [Text 'only']
* - comment inside. [Sorry for destitute English]


Natural Fort surrounded by cliff on 3 sides
and used as a front line base in the War.

[3 months since 'Lion War' outbreak. Not much time, but many sufferings...

Goltana is sitting in the head of a table. Elmdor & Orlandu are on the left of him.
2 other men are on the right of Goltana. Speaks second of them, Bolmna.]

 20,000 dead. Counting both sides, that makes 40,000...
	Well over 200,000 injured just in our troops alone.

 Casualties aren't the only problem.
	Food stock is short as we expected.
	The real problem's the drought.
	There's no food and tax revenues are
	reduced. Storage is at less than a half.

 Larg's probably facing the same problem. I hear
	crops were ruined before harvest, due to rain.

 More serious are those made destitute by the war. According
	to Olan, more than 100,000 refugees have come to Lesalia.

 Ha, ha... Good! Larg'll have problems getting food.

 This is no laughing matter! The same could happen here.
	Many refugees may come here! Should we start peace talks?

 I understand your concerns. But, we cannot stop the war.
	We'll increase tax by 30%. Make sure no one trades grain at
	high prices. Also keep an eye on all refugees entering Limberry.

 Larg is in difficulty, too. It's not too late for a peace settlement.

 Enough, Orlandu! A peace settlement won't occur.

 Our nation exists because of the people! We exist because of them.
	Farmers suffered the most in the War! Raising taxes would hurt
	them even more. The soldiers are also suffering from lack of food.
	It's impossible to continue physically and mentally.

 Mentally? Are you becoming a coward?

 In the last War, we served by keeping Ordalia out of our land!

 Are you saying there's no 'right' in this battle?
	Since when did you start talking about 'hypocrisy'?	
	You can't go easy on them. It's for the people!
	We can't allow a corrupt royal family to opress
	the people any longer. We fight!

 He's right. Just a little longer before it's over. I never expected
	to hear that from the one they used to call 'T.G. Cid'.

 A little longer? Where'd you get that idea?
	How can you be optimistic? Are you blind?

[Blansh stands up.]

 Your words are harsh!!

 Enough! I'm disappointed in you, Orlandu.
	Any more harsh words may mean your life!

[Blansh sits down. Orlandu keeps silence.]

 ......

 I won't say this again. If any more of you disagree
	with my plans, go now! Understand? Orlandu!!

CHAPTER 3: THE VALIANT





Delita told me that
there is a big tide
and he goes against it...

If this age of war is the "big tide"
like a fate we can't avoid,
can I go against it?

Now I head for Lesalia to tell
my brother Zalbag there's someone
manipulating this war...


[Ramza's party is in Dorter Trade City. New locations:
Goland Coal City, Lesalia Imperial Capital.]

[Bar->Rumor]
 This rumor's about
	Future of the War
	Rescue of Princess Ovelia
	Draclau's death
	Drought and flood damage



	'Future of the War'

Three months have passed since the Battle at Gulofavia --The first all out battle on a plain bordered by Lesalia and Limberry--. The death toll for the two armies reached nearly 400,000. This battle between those that fought side by side during the War is only creating many casualties with no end in sight. Many see the situation as a stalemate, and its length has brought pessimism among the people.



	'Rescue of Princess Ovelia'

Princess Ovelia, abducted from Orbonne Monastery has been safely rescued. The mastermind behind her abduction, was Gelwan, a close official to Goltana and Queen Ruvelia. Trying to bring her son to the throne, it was the Queen's plan, to persuade the Minister --But, those supporting the Queen strongly deny these allegations--. Furthermore, the Minister has already been executed.
The one who rescued the Princess was a young Knight named Delita, an assistant Black Sheep Knight under Baron Grims. Recognized for his heroism, he is expected to be the next leader of the Black Sheep now that the seat is vacant since the Baron was killed while fighting the "Ryomoku".



	'Draclau's death'

3 months have passed since the death of Draclau, due to illness. There are rumors that the leader of Lionel Castle was really assassinated. There is even one rumor that it was a murder by an "Unidentified monster". To support these theories, there was an attack upon the castle by thieves, the night before his death causing many deaths and injuries. The cause of death was said to be people were "crushed to death".



	'Drought and flood damage'

10 years ago, the kingdom had a terribly bad harvest. Zeltennia and Limberry were devasted by drought and their harvests were half the norm. On the other hand, Gallione and Fovoham, were devasted by floods. The harvests in the west were about half the norm as well. People left destitute in the war and people suffering from famine migrated to Lesalia seeking refuge.
