“	In that case, allow us to assist with your bandit problem. That way, we may focus our efforts on reclaiming Fort Wellt from Codha. Does that sound acceptable to you?	”	— Runan making his proposal to Marlon.

Subduing the Bandits (Japanese: 山賊討伐 Subduing the Bandits) is the second chapter in TearRing Saga: Yutona Heroes War Chronicles.

Plot

Main article: Saga:Subduing the Bandits/Script

Runan arrives at Verje and is welcomed by Raffin and Marlon. Marlon explains he cannot currently provide aid to Reeve because bandits have been attacking Verje due to the loss of soldiers in the aftermath of the Battle of Balt. Runan offers to exterminate the bandits, and Marlon sends him out with Raffin, Esther, and one more soldier of Runan's choice. Runan heads to the mountain village of Taurus and does battle with the bandits.

Meanwhile, the sister Enteh leaves her village to visit the bandit hideout, hearing that one of them is in need of healing. The man in need, Yazam, subsequently imprisons her afterwards. She is rescued by Barts as the battle begins and the two meet up with Runan's forces during the fighting. The swordswoman Julia, and Barts' sister Plum also join the group during the battle.

Afterwards, Eugen tells Runan that Enteh requested an escort to the Temple of Mars and that he agreed to let her accompany them. He also points out that Enteh is the "most beautiful woman he has seen in sixty years of life" and notes that Runan will eventually be expected to take a wife, though Runan is mostly annoyed at this and reminds Eugen they have more pressing matters to attend to before departing on their return trip to Verje.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

Choosing your unit at Verje

During your trip to Verje, you must choose between one of four units. At a glance these four characters, Lee, Narron, Ezekiel, and Ruka may feel relatively inconsequential, but the player's choice here can affect the availability of certain side-events in the future. You will later have another chance to recruit one more of these units or Lionel.

• Lee the Bishop will net you the unique Defense Staff for Plum at the end of this chapter. He is also one of the few healers with offensive utility; the other possibly offensive healers are Mel and Katri.
• Ezekiel is an Axe Knight who competes with Garo and Barts for the time being, but his presence is required to prevent Kreiss and Leteena from deserting you should you choose to recruit the latter.
• Narron is unconnected to any side events and is another member of the over-saturated Rook Knight class. However, his Elite skill and promotion to the powerful Gold Knight class make him a high-investment, high-reward unit.
• Ruka is a Bow Fighter who will be competing with Kate; recruiting him in Chapter 2 is required to make Raquel rescind her vow never to kill humans.

General strategy

Barts, the player Axe Fighter in the upper left, can very easily kill the Thief and Bandit chasing him. Have him and Enteh make their way down to the village in the bottom right of the map. In the meanwhile the player should have their forces make their way to aid Julia in defending the village.

After killing the group of enemies approaching the village make sure to have Enteh (Enteh may have not gotten there yet due to her 4 movement) visit the bottom right house to recruit the Priest girl named Plum. Have Plum, Enteh, and Barts then visit the bottom left house and each will receive a different item. The rest of your units should be making their way northwest to clean up any remaining stragglers and to defeat Yazam. Yazam packs quite a punch so be careful that he doesn't kill anyone on his turn if a weakened unit is left in front of him at the end of the player phase. Once Yazam is downed have Runan seize the entrance to the fortress to conclude the battle.

Trivia

• The start of the chapter, during the gameplay segment where Barts has to protect Enteh as they flee from the bandits, is very similar to Julian's and Lena's situation during Chapter 3 of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.
