[[Seliph]] and his army head to [[Leonster]] to assist Prince [[Leif]], who had managed to build an army to face the Empire alongside [[Finn]] and [[Nanna]]/[[Jeanne]] but suffered a great defeat at [[Ulster]]. Along the way, they are joined by Prince [[Shannan]] of [[Isaach]], who was able to recover his Holy Sword [[Balmung]] from [[Aed]], and a thief named [[Patty]]/[[Daisy]]. Seliph also frees an imprisoned dancer, [[Lene]]/[[Laylea]], from [[Dahna]] and recruits [[Eldigan]]'s son and former mercenary, [[Ares]], to his cause.

===Castle Aed=== | |||
At the start of this chapter, you will encounter a few [[Dark Mage]]s standing outside the home castle. They all wield the heavy [[Jormungand]] tome, which is not only strong, but unusually accurate for a [[dark]] tome, which gives them worryingly reasonable hit rates and lets them deal a whopping total of 31 magical damage to anyone they successfully hit, often enough to one-shot (rarely two-shot) most of your units. If [[Julia]] obtained the [[Nosferatu]] tome in the previous chapter, she becomes the most reliable way to safely deal with them, as she can heal up any damage she takes from them with each attack. | |||
[[Shannan]] and [[Patty]] ([[Daisy]], if [[Brigid]] died or did not marry before the end of [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter 5]]) start far away from Seliph's forces, near Castle Aed. Right away, you should have Shannan talk to Patty/Daisy to receive the [[Balmung]], a powerful sword that boosts his [[Skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]] by a huge margin. With the legendary Crusader weapon, Shannan would have no trouble killing the nearby enemy [[Sword Fighter]]s and Dark Mages near his starting position. You can try to immediately rush for the boss of the Aed Castle, but despite the boosted [[avoid]] granted by Balmung, Shannan will still face 10% hit rates from the Dark Mages, and all it takes is two unlucky hits to kill him. However, if you wait until turn 12, [[Kutuzov]] gets a [[Fenrir]] and taking Aed castle becomes much harder. Regardless of what you do, you should get Patty/Daisy out of harms way, as all of the enemies will OHKO her. | |||
===Leif, Finn, and Nanna/Jeanne=== | |||
[[Leif]], [[Finn]], and [[Nanna]] ([[Jeanne]], if [[Lachesis]] died or did not marry before the end of Chapter 5) are automatically playable from the start of turn 1. Just like Shannan and Patty/Daisy, they start far away from Seliph's forces, only this time they are isolated in the area where Castle Leonster and Ulster are located, which is normally inaccessible to Seliph's army until they seize Castle Melgen; the only one who can reach and help the trio before that point is [[Fee]]/[[Hermina]], who is a flyer. During this time, they have to fend off and defend Castle Leonster as long as possible against [[Bloom]]'s forces, consisting of many armor knights and a few [[Thunder Mage]]s. If Leonster gets seized by the enemy units, it won't cause a [[Game Over]], but it will render the facilities inaccessible until Seliph seizes the castle back, which could put Leif's squad in a bad situation if their weapons are on the verge of breaking. They cannot leave the area on foot, due to the fact that two NPC [[Sword Fighter]]s are blocking the southern exit near Castle Melgen. If Leif, Finn, or Nanna have the [[Return Band]] in their inventory (either by Finn retaining it with him provided he did not marry during the first generation, or [[Ethlyn]] and Lachesis passing it down to Leif or Nanna, respectively), they can actually escape the Leonster/Ulster area. However, this is only viable if Nanna inherited the [[Return (staff)|Return]] staff to send the others away as well as a Return Band on her person to evacuate herself; this does have the benefit of funneling the later Alster troops toward the left instead of up, making the Tine/Linda recruitment easier. | |||
If Finn married in the first generation, he will only have a single [[Iron Lance]] in his inventory, due to the [[inheritance]] system forcing him to relinquish his belongings to his son (daughter, if he married Brigid), including his lances. This would greatly hinder his ability to defend Leif and Nanna, making it harder for all three of them to survive long enough until the rest of the player's army can arrive in time. | |||

Beyond the Desert/Script
Seliph and his army head to Leonster to assist Prince Leif, who had managed to build an army to face the Empire alongside Finn and Nanna/Jeanne but suffered a great defeat at Ulster. Along the way, they are joined by Prince Shannan of Isaach, who was able to recover his Holy Sword Balmung from Aed, and a thief named Patty/Daisy. Seliph also frees an imprisoned dancer, Lene/Laylea, from Dahna and recruits Eldigan's son and former mercenary, Ares, to his cause. His battles end with him seizing Leonster and pushing back the forces of Friege, with Prince Ishtore and his lover Liza among their notable casualties.

Castle Aed
At the start of this chapter, you will encounter a few Dark Mages standing outside the home castle. They all wield the heavy Jormungand tome, which is not only strong, but unusually accurate for a dark tome, which gives them worryingly reasonable hit rates and lets them deal a whopping total of 31 magical damage to anyone they successfully hit, often enough to one-shot (rarely two-shot) most of your units. If Julia obtained the Nosferatu tome in the previous chapter, she becomes the most reliable way to safely deal with them, as she can heal up any damage she takes from them with each attack.
Shannan and Patty (Daisy, if Brigid died or did not marry before the end of Chapter 5) start far away from Seliph's forces, near Castle Aed. Right away, you should have Shannan talk to Patty/Daisy to receive the Balmung, a powerful sword that boosts his skill and speed by a huge margin. With the legendary Crusader weapon, Shannan would have no trouble killing the nearby enemy Sword Fighters and Dark Mages near his starting position. You can try to immediately rush for the boss of the Aed Castle, but despite the boosted avoid granted by Balmung, Shannan will still face 10% hit rates from the Dark Mages, and all it takes is two unlucky hits to kill him. However, if you wait until turn 12, Kutuzov gets a Fenrir and taking Aed castle becomes much harder. Regardless of what you do, you should get Patty/Daisy out of harms way, as all of the enemies will OHKO her.
Leif, Finn, and Nanna/Jeanne
Leif, Finn, and Nanna (Jeanne, if Lachesis died or did not marry before the end of Chapter 5) are automatically playable from the start of turn 1. Just like Shannan and Patty/Daisy, they start far away from Seliph's forces, only this time they are isolated in the area where Castle Leonster and Ulster are located, which is normally inaccessible to Seliph's army until they seize Castle Melgen; the only one who can reach and help the trio before that point is Fee/Hermina, who is a flyer. During this time, they have to fend off and defend Castle Leonster as long as possible against Bloom's forces, consisting of many armor knights and a few Thunder Mages. If Leonster gets seized by the enemy units, it won't cause a Game Over, but it will render the facilities inaccessible until Seliph seizes the castle back, which could put Leif's squad in a bad situation if their weapons are on the verge of breaking. They cannot leave the area on foot, due to the fact that two NPC Sword Fighters are blocking the southern exit near Castle Melgen. If Leif, Finn, or Nanna have the Return Band in their inventory (either by Finn retaining it with him provided he did not marry during the first generation, or Ethlyn and Lachesis passing it down to Leif or Nanna, respectively), they can actually escape the Leonster/Ulster area. However, this is only viable if Nanna inherited the Return staff to send the others away as well as a Return Band on her person to evacuate herself; this does have the benefit of funneling the later Alster troops toward the left instead of up, making the Tine/Linda recruitment easier.
If Finn married in the first generation, he will only have a single Iron Lance in his inventory, due to the inheritance system forcing him to relinquish his belongings to his son (daughter, if he married Brigid), including his lances. This would greatly hinder his ability to defend Leif and Nanna, making it harder for all three of them to survive long enough until the rest of the player's army can arrive in time.

Trivia
- One of Genealogy of the Holy War's title screen scenes shows a battle taking place near Ulster Castle, where a player-affiliated Bard wields Forseti against an enemy Great Knight. In the actual chapter itself, there are no enemy Great Knights encountered during the chapter. Additionally, there are no recruitable Bards at all during the second generation.[1]
