Wild desert area west of Limberry. An
ancient royal palace is buried in the sand.


	...They're all spread?
	Nice wind. Should be enough
	to float them around in
	the air for most of the day.




	Uh-oh... Didn't think I'd
	see you here...


	What are the Shrine Knights
	doing here?
	You said, "spread"...
	What the hell did you spread?


	Wanna know...?
	I guess I can tell you
	because there's nothing
	you can do now.


	Spill it!
	What did you spread?


	This!




	Poison!?


	That's right. I spread this
	to the Hokuten Province.
	Any soldier who inhales this
	will be too sick to fight!


	The High Priest doesn't want
	Goltana to win the war!


	That's correct.
	If the Hokuten can't fight
	their best, the Nanten will
	open the fortress...
	Totally annihilating it.
	Making it a good chance to
	kill Goltana and Orlandu.
	Of course, plans are set to	
	kill Larg in the confusion.
	It'll probably be easier to
	kill him in the confusion
	over the poisoning.


	What!?


	You should be happy!
	The war will end!
	From now on, we'll be the
	center of authority! The
	people want that!
	No more of you aristocrats
	ruling the kingdom.


	I won't let that happen!
	I'll end the war differently!


	I knew you'd say that!

	Conditions for Winning:
	Defeat Balk!

	Map






[Ramza & friends have used antidote.]


	What are your plans after
	this war?
	How are you going to clean
	up rotten Ivalice?
	You should know. Unless you
	cut out the rot, the same
	thing happens over and over.


	Cutting's your only
	solution?
	Not everyone's rotten!
	There're many people who
	aren't!
	There should be other
	solutions besides war!


	There are no other
	solutions!
	As long as you're
	aristocrats, we'll be 
	exploited!
	There's no such thing as
	equality! One side is
	always being exploited!
	Then I wanna be on the
	'exploiting' side!
	After I overthrow you!


	Then the same thing will
	repeat itself!
	You're only thinking of
	yourself! Someday, you'll be
	overthrown by somebody else!


	You're being an idealistic
	hypocrite!!

[Balk was defeated.]


	Dammit! I'm not going
	to die in a place like this.

[Balk dies.]


	I have to hurry...

	BONUS MONEY:

43.1. Bethla Garrison - Decline of Orlandu. Rising of Delita





	What do you mean?
	Suspicion of conspiracy?


	...Please.
	Obey the orders.


	Nonsense. Why would I be
	involved in a conspiracy?




	It's too bad, Cid.
	Attempting rebellion...


	You can't be serious!
	I'd never think of...


	I have proof.
	You've been secretly planning
	with the Church to overthrow me.


	Nonsense!!
	Who told you such a lie!?


	You still deny it?
	Hearing of your betrayal,
	the High Priest notified
	me personally.


	It's the High Priest's plot!


	The High Priest's plot?
	How dare you say that?
	Can you prove it?


	I've been serving you over 20
	years and you don't trust me?


	...I cannot go to war
	without your Knights.


	I am very disappointed, Cid...
	Take him away!!




	Yes, Your Excellency.


	Continue your contact with
	Murond.
	If we get an official edict,
	overturning Larg will be easy.


	The High Priest's already
	decided. No need to worry.


	Thanks for your trouble.
	I will grant you command
	over the Nanten Knights.
	You will become a Holy Knight.


	I appreciate your kindness!


	I'm counting on you, Delita.
	I know I can trust you.

 [looks down]
	I won't let you down.
