• 2854
• Alvise
  Aren't you finished repairing the flagship yet?

• 2855
• Venetian Soldier
  Well...
  The stern was damaged lot more heavily than I thought, so it's taking longer than expected.

• 2856
• Alvise
  Well, hurry it up.
  The next battle is close at hand.

• 2857
• Venetian Soldier
  Ughh!

• 2858
• Alvise
  ...Oh, Player.
  Good to see you're back.

• 2859
• Bedouin Soldier
  Did you see Sir Faisal off safely?

• 2860
• Alvise
  Player! Since you're back here by yourself, the negotiations with the chiefs must have gone well?

• 2861
• How will you respond?

• 2862
• Yes, they did.

• 2863
• Never mind that.
  There's something I need to tell you.

• 2864
• Alvise
  I see.
  That's good to hear.
  ...Well, it's just that your expression seemed strangely concerned, so I had to wonder.

• 2865
• Alvise
  ...Did something happen?

• 2866
• How will you respond?

• 2867
• Well, about Hayreddin...

• 2868
• I heard some strange gun shots.

• 2869
• Alvise
  ...Gun shots?
  I wonder if that's related to Sir Faisal...
  Is that all you wanted to tell me?

• 2870
• Alvise
  Hayreddin...? Tell me more.

• 2871
• Alvise
  ...So basically, the enemy fleet does not have Hayreddin with them, and so they are afraid to come and fight close by...?
  ...It's true that the way they've been fighting has been lacking authenticity...

• 2872
• Bedouin Soldier
  Then, why don't we go all out and surprise them with a sneak attack, Alvise?

• 2873
• Alvise
  But...

• 2874
• Bedouin Soldier
  Hey, Player, what do you think?

• 2875
• How will you respond?

• 2876
• We should launch a surprise attack

• 2877
• It's dangerous to launch a surprise attack

• 2878
• Alvise
  ...Mm.
  It's true that the enemy has likely let down their guard while they wait for Hayreddin.

• 2879
• Alvise
  ...You're right, Player.
  It's true that the enemy has likely let down their guard while they wait for Hayreddin.

• 2880
• Alvise
  But, if we include the seized galleon, we only have 5 ships.
  On top of that, our flagship Galleass has suffered heavy damage, and can no longer even float.
  We don't have enough military power to wage a surprise attack...

• 2881
• Voice
  ...Alvise! Alvise!

• 2882
• Vittoria
  ...There's a fleet drawing close to the coast...!

• 2883
• Alvise
  ...An enemy attack!?

• 2884
• Alvise
  That ship's flag...looks like the one for the French navy.
  What would it be doing here...

• 2885
• Vittoria
  That flag...
  It looks like they're asking permission to enter the harbour.

• 2886
• Alvise
  Very well.
  Let them in.

• 2887
• Vittoria
  Why would the French navy be here...

• 2888
• Alvise
  I am Orseolo, from Venice, here assisting in the fight against the Turkish army and using this city as a base.
  Who are you...?

• 2889
• French Soldier
  We are a fleet from the French navy normally stationed in Marseilles.
  The Queen Mother has ordered us to come here and fight together with Sir Alvise.

• 2890
• Alvise
  The Queen Mother...? But we never told France we were here...

• 2891
• French Soldier
  ...It was a very sudden order for us, so we don't know all the details...

• 2892
• Alvise
  ...Well, never mind.
  I am immensely grateful for your help.
  Please tell the Queen Mother that I appreciate her kindness from the bottom of my heart.
  ...All right then, we were just about to hold a meeting in the abandoned building.
  We request your attendance as well

• 2893
• French Soldier
  ...Yes, sir!

• 2894
• Alvise
  Player, will you come along too?

• 2895
• Vittoria
  You don't think the one who asked the Queen Mother for help is...

• 2896
• Alvise
  We will now begin an emergency strategic meeting.
  Thanks to the assistance of the French navy, our military power has greatly increased.
  This is perhaps the greatest chance we would ask for in this war.

• 2897
• Alvise
  That is why I would like to switch to a counter attack.
  To that end, I propose that we carry out a surprise attack on the enemy fleet stationed to the south of Beirut.

• 2898
• Alvise
  The strategy is an exceedingly simple wave attack.
  First, the Venetian fleet will go together with Player to break through the enemy's centre, initiating the battle.
  Then, when the enemies are confused, the French ships will come and drive a linchpin into them.
  Our target is the enemy flagship that resides inside the enemy's formation.

• 2899
• Alvise
  I understand your concerns.
  ...But, there is nothing to worry about.
  Thanks to the information Player brought back, we know that Hayreddin was injured off the coast of Palma.
  Word is it that the enemy fleet will be unable to go out on offense for a while.

• 2900
• Alvise
  Without Hayreddin to help them, the Turkish navy is nothing but a flock of scared little birds!
  You are all renowned commanders who have fought fiercely in the Mediterranean.
  Now is the time to show the Turks our power and drive them back to their own country!

• 2901
• Vittoria
  What can I do, Alvise...

• 2902
• Alvise
  Hmph.
  You should remain here and wait for the return of Sir Faisal and the Bedouin soldiers.
  Someone has to be here to greet them, after all.

• 2903
• Vittoria
  ...Yes.
  You're right.
  Alvise, Player...
  Good luck.

• 2904
• Scout
  Enemy fleet confirmed off southern Beirut coast at 20 Legua!

• 2905
• Alvise
  All right! Let's begin the Mission!

• 2906
• Turkish Navy
  Enemy attack! The fleet where Faisal is has started to attack!

• 2907
• Alvise
  Here we go, Player.

• 2908
• Scout
  First enemy line is broken through.
  The French fleet will now rush into the enemy formation!

• 2909
• Turkish Navy
  ...What?! They have reinforcements?!

• 2910
• Alvise
  Player, leave this up to us.
  Go in along with them.
  I'm counting on you to sink the enemy flagship.

• 2911
• Turkish Navy
  ...Retreat! We can't afford any more losses! All troops, retreat!

• 2912
• Alvise
  ...We have captured the enemy ship! Victory is ours!

• 2913
• Alvise
  Player, it's all thanks to you that we were able to win this battle.
  I must be sure to thank you, and the French navy, appropriately.

• 2914
• Alvise
  ...Player, and my friends of the French armada.
  These are spoils of this battle.
  Please take it as your reward.

• 2915
• French Soldier
  ...Thank you.
  Now, we have our next assignment, so if you will excuse us...

• 2916
• Alvise
  Mm.
  Please tell the Queen Mother that I will come see her later to thank her again in person.

• 2917
• French Soldier
  ...Yes, sir!

• 23218
• Upon returning to Jaffa, Player informed Alvise that Hayreddin had been injured and would not be meeting up with the enemy fleet.
  Hearing this, the Bedouin troops became excited and suggested that they launch an attack on the enemy fleet.
  However, Alvise rejected their proposal because they had too few ships in order to make a surprise attack a success.

• 23219
• Just then, Vittoria brought word that a fleet had been spotted off of the coast.

• 23220
• Thinking it was an enemy attack, everybody rushed down to the port.
  However, the fleet that appeared was flying the flag of the French Navy.

• 23221
• Alvise asked the fleet why they had entered the port.
  They replied that they were part of the fleet stationed in Marseilles and had come on orders of France's Queen Mother to assist Alvise, to which he replied that he was suspicious of how the Queen Mother knew they were engaged in battle here.
  However, the fleet were simply following orders and did not know the details of the situation.
  In any case, receiving such reinforcements, Alvise headed to the mosque ruins together with Player in order to hold an emergency strategy meeting.

• 23222
• At the meeting location, Alvise gave the order for a surprise attack, realizing this was the perfect opportunity for the French Navy to get involved in the war.
  It was to be an attack carried out in waves, with the Venice fleet crashing through the enemy formation, to be followed by the French fleet, in order to sink the enemy flagship.
  The soldiers voiced their anxiety.
  Alvise spread the news delivered by Player that Hayreddin had been injured and yelled, ^Without Hayreddin to help them, the Turkish navy is nothing but a flock of scared little birds! You are all renowned commanders who have fought fiercely in the Mediterranean.
  Now is the time to show the Turks our power and drive them back to their own country!^ The soldiers rallied behind these words and prepared for battle.

• 23223
• Before they set out to attack, Alvise instructed Vittoria to wait for Faisal to return.
  Vittoria wished Player and Alvise luck and watched them as they set out for battle.

• 23224
• Hearing word that the Turkish fleet was anchored near Beirut, Alvise advanced the fleet forward.

• 23225
• Spotting the massive Turkish fleet, Alvise ordered the attack.
  Surprised by the surprise attack, the Turkish fleet was in disarray.
  Due to the efforts of the Venice fleet and Player, the enemy formation crumbled.
  Alvise took his sword and drew the enemy's attention while Player and the French fleet rammed into the centre of the enemy formation.
  After a long battle, the massive Turkish fleet's flagship was sunk, causing the rest of the fleet to scatter.
