A second victory. With all your new companions, we're filled with hope here like never before.

That was a great victory. I only hope they'll learn from their defeat and stop harassing us.

Hmph, with how greedy the lords ameer are, they won't call it quits unless get what they want.

They have no shortage of money, yet they continue to invade the area year after year. What they are seeking must be very special.

So Arsalan really does have ruins and treasure?

This place isn't called the Szubat-Arsalan for no reason. This is one of the areas where the Aslans first took up arms.

It is hardly surprising there are thousand year-old ruins here.

The handbook mentioned that.

I think... whatever it is they're looking for, the ameeri troops will be back.

Yes... I-I agree... They'll launch another attack... More covert, and more difficult to fend off.

Ahh! Manticore, what are you doing here?

I... I've been here the entire time...

I have heard a thing or two about the covert assassins they keep in the palace...

Hm... Wherever the ameeri troops can't conquer, they send the assassins.

And they say death follows in their wake. Every patch of land they walk is drowned in blood.

What should we do?

We need to find out what the treasure really is.

We gotta get to the truth of the treasure...

Only then will we know how to fight the lords ameer.

I agree. We can't let those troops keep searching here.

If we find the treasure before them, we might earn ourselves the chance to talk peace.

Right, without a stable environment, we won't be able to continue our mission.

We should make contact with that Pepe first. She's the one closest to the truth so far.

But we should also prepare for the worst case scenario. If we end up having to fight them to the end... our camp will need more resources.

Effendi, what is there in the jungle to the north?

The Forbidden Tsalimashtu to the north... *sigh*. The ameeri army is there, too. We are too afraid to go any further north.

What is the place like?

The ancestors described it as a sacred place. A 'servant' of the Shah once stayed there for a stretch of time.

Perhaps that's where our treasure is.

But if they found the ruins long ago, why would they keep digging all over the place?
