The Liberation of Leonster (Japanese: 王都解放 Liberation of the Royal Capital) is the eighteenth chapter of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776.
Plot
- Main article: The Liberation of Leonster/Script
Leif's forces make their way to Leonster and storm the castle, the forces of which are commanded by Gustaf and Xavier. Xavier originally served Leonster, but he joined the Empire under Gustaf to protect the Leonster natives from persecution by the Empire. Thinking of himself as a traitor, he expects to be treated as one by Leif's forces and killed in the battle.
However, while taking over the castle, Leif saves the Leonster hostages. He has them talk to Xavier's adjutants, who promptly leave the fortress once they are reunited with their loved ones. With the hostages and Xavier's adjutants saved, Leif approaches Xavier and talks to him. At first, Xavier expects to be killed for betraying Leonster and requests mercy for his adjutants, but Leif blames himself for the general's situation and apologizes for his failures. Dryas provides an apology of his own, then requests Xavier to join Leif's forces, and Xavier accepts.
With Xavier now on Leif's side, Leif's forces kill Gustaf and seize Leonster, ending the battle victorious. Soon after Leif, Dryas and Finn celebrate their victory, though, Leif is informed that the citizens of Ulster have started a rebellion and need Leif's help in order to succeed. Dryas and August advise Leif not to go, as they believe an open battle with the Empire is too dangerous, but Leif overrules them and pledges to help the Ulster rebellion regardless.
Seeing no other choice, Duke Dryas volunteers to lead Leif's vanguard into Ulster. August realizes Dryas's intent and requests to lead the vanguard himself, but Dryas refuses and tells August that he must stay by the prince's side to advise him. August relents, and Dryas tells the prince to keep the rest of his soldiers within the castle to rest. He also claims he will bolster his forces with soldiers from Leonster willing to join Leif's army.
With their strategy determined, Dryas leaves and Leif stays behind, expecting to follow behind the duke's forces on the next day.

Recruiting Xavier
Recruiting Xavier is a somewhat daunting task; the several NPC civilians must talk to the eight Leonster Armor Knights working under Xavier. Additionally, each specific NPC has to talk to a specific Knight; the characters do not have unique names, so they can only be identified by their portraits. The matching civilian-knight pairs are provided in the table below:

- Note: There are two separate Civilians that share the portrait of the girl with the green shirt and twintails; it does not mean that one civilian needs to speak with two knights.
The civilians will not start moving from their cell until the door to the throne room is unlocked. But once it's unlocked, the Armor Knights stationed there (including Xavier's knights) will start moving towards the door. While Xavier and his knights won't attempt to harm or capture any of the civilians, the Friege Knights will (there are four of them) when given the chance. You can use a Sleep staff or a Sleep Edge to neutralize them to prevent them from interfering.
What happens to the knights or the civilians after the former converts does not matter. So long as all of the Leonster armor knights become NPCs before dying or escaping, you will still meet the recruitment requirements for Xavier. Also keep in mind that after a knight gets converted and becomes green, the others will try to kill him. Considering how the knights have Killer Lances or Hammers equipped, one should be ready to use the Rescue command if necessary, as the counterattacks might result in someone getting killed. It's not mandatory to keep all the knights alive after they spoke to their relatives, but you have to keep all the armor knights alive until everyone is reunited with their loved ones. You could use your Sleep staves to make the eight knights fall asleep, so you can bring the NPCs to them without the knights attacking each other after they become green. Also, the NPCs are the ones that start the conversations, so if they manage to reach the knight that is their relative, they will convert them. After you managed to convert all the eight Leonster armor knights, talk to Xavier with Leif and he will join him.
It is recommended to have some of your units stand on the staircases to plug up and prevent reinforcements from appearing, especially the Dark Mages, who are armed with Rewarp staves or a Fenrir tome, allowing them to easily kill the civilians.
To get the Member Card, you must not kill any of the Leonster Soldiers (the ones that are of the Soldier class; Xavier's Armored Knights aren't included). All of them are armed with Javelins, meaning that in most cases, they would prefer attacking your units at range, making it slightly less likely for them to get themselves killed attacking your powerful frontliners at close combat. Capturing and releasing the soldiers are also fair game, as it allows you to safely remove them from the map without killing them. Stealing their weapons is possible, though that would require that your Thieves gain a couple points of constitution in order to do so.
