Having defeated one of the Four Fangs in battle, the group on the direction of Lord Pent and Lady Louise decide to visit the Queen. While snooping around for information the Black Fang strikes again...

What we have on our hands here is a defend chapter that takes place in a trickily laid out mountain range. Our units are all split up, the lords are stuck on the northern part of the map, some of them on the eastern side, and the rest in the center.

This is the only defend chapter where I will legitimately tell you to defend. The chapter does end if you defeat the boss, but the boss in this chapter is basically unkillable. Plus, she becomes recruitable later on in the game. The reason she is unkillable is that she carries a magic spear that grants her lots of extra stats. She can kill almost any unit if thet are left in her range.

We have three main objectives in this chapter. The first is to survive, there are a lot of wyvern riders flying around and they do a lot of damage, so move as a unit and don't leave your weaker units exposed.

The second thing is to visit the village in the south west. It contains a Hammerne staff which is extremely valuable, it can restore any one weapons uses back up to full. There are brigands lining the mountains that will try and reach the village so you have to hurry. If you have a strong flier, now's the time to bust them out and have them fly there in 2 turns.

The third thing is to make sure that you steal the Knight Crest from the cavalier who is positioned on the southern side.

The main strategy to this chapter is to assert your defensive positions, move your eastern units south, you want them to get to the village and to clear out the enemies along the bottom side. Clearing out the southern side makes the map so much easier for you. Send any units you want from the central group south to help out if needed.

Send the rest of your troops to the north to rendez-vous with the Lords and your new units, Pent and Louise. Vaida, the boss is in the north west but we want to avoid her, if you leave a unit in range she will fly straight towards you and take you out.

There is a Shaman on the western side that is carrying a droppable Luna tome, make sure to take him out as those tomes are very valuable. There is an armory and a shop in the north east corner so visit them if you dare. Send a flier or Pent/Louise.

From there just take out any reinforcements that fly your way, keep safe and in a group, heal those that become low on health and wait out the chapter.

Defeat	Do not fight her. She is much too powerful... Although, if you insist, Pent and Louise can do a good job of it, Louise hits very hard and with Pent's A support she has a high chance to crit... try it if you dare.
