Build, fortify, expand, fortify, control.

It's the simple rules that must be remembered, Daeva. Without them our processes will fail, and our opponents will be able to flush us away in no time at all.

Now, with that rule in mind, look at the Fortress. Do you believe it is ripe for the taking?

• "Perhaps not...."

Very good, Daeva. Very good.

How can we attack when our defences are so weak? We can just about defend ourselves here, but were we to expand further, our forces would be spread too thin to fight or even communicate.

No, we must fortify ourselves here, strengthen our defences, and only then look to expand. It's a simple process, but one we mustn't overlook.

• "I see. So what must we do first?"

Well, the most immediate threat is the Balaur. A Dredgion recently appeared, you see, and now there are 38th Draconute Legionaries and 38th Draconute Lookouts roaming throughout the area.

They must be removed before we can even think of expanding, and for them to be removed we must look outside of our own ranks for help. To others like you, Daeva.

So, what do you say? Will you help us?

• Accept.
• Decline.

You've lifted a weight from Menelaus' shoulders, Daeva. Thank you.

Now we know the Balaur are experts at scavenging from their own dead, so we must make sure their weapons won't be used again. Take them, and bring them back to us.

Go, and remove those Balaur from the lands that rightfully belong to us!

• "Ariel's grace protect me."

Eliminate the Balaur threatening the Kysis Landing and return with their weapons.

Remember. Build, fortify, expand, fortify, control.

Is your task done? Are we ready to expand?

• "We are. Here are the weapons."

No, Daeva. There aren't enough here.

Only when their force has been truly crippled can we look to expand. All we have done so far is catch their attention – now we show them our true power.

Go back and kill 38th Draconute Legionaries and 38th Draconute Lookouts, then return to me with their weapons. Go!

• "Wait here."

Look at them...even the weapons look bestial. The designs are so impractical but they're used with such deadly force.

I can't help but wonder how many of our kin have been slaughtered by this one weapon. Still, better to have them out of their hands and into ours.

You have done well, Daeva. Thanks to you, we can now look at expanding our territory.

Battus complained that the battles against the Asmodians had become even harder after the appearance of the Balaur.

You agreed to help the Guardians in the fortress concentrate only on the Asmodians, so eliminated the Balaur patrols and returned with their weapons.
