CHAPTER III: BATTLE AT GROG HILL
[A group of soldiers in Nanten colors encounter Ramza's party.]
NANTEN DESERTER (Male Squire): Damn, what rotten luck, a pursuit unit!
RAMZA: Are you a Nanten patrol?
DESERTER (Male Squire): We're tired of fighting! We want to go home! We'd rather be poor and covered with mud than this! We're sick of killing! We want to return to our families!
RAMZA: Wait! We're not after you! We have no desire to fight! Don't misunderstand!
DESERTER (Male Squire): Don't lie! You expect us to believe you? Trying to get us off guard then kill us! Well none of your tricks will work!
[Another soldier turns to him.]
DESERTER (Male Chemist): H, hey! He was on the wanted list!
[The squire turns to him.]
DESERTER (Male Squire): Huh? ....So what?!
DESERTER (Male Chemist): It's him! The 'heretic! You know! If we bring him to them, they may let us off!!
[The squire turns to face him entirely.]
DESERTER (Male Squire): You mean... going back to the Knights?
DESERTER (Male Chemist): Getting a 'heretic's big. Like getting enemy brass! If we get him, they might give us a discharge, too.
[The squire turns back to Ramza.]
DESERTER (Male Squire): That's right...I know a guy discharged in an exchange.
[The chemist also looks to Ramza.]
DESERTER (Male Chemist): We can go home big! Otherwise, we'll have to live in hiding as deserters!
DESERTER (Male Squire): Right! Let's catch him! We can even kill him! He's a 'heretic', they'll execute him sooner or later. We can go home by killing him! This is our last battle!!
[BATTLE BEGINS]
[BATTLE ENDS]
RAMZA: I understand your lives are important...but, is that it?
NANTEN DESERTER (Male Squire): Damn, what rotten luck, a pursuit unit!
