Invasion of the Northern Kingdom Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	Once the quest begins,split your allies into three teams. Send one to the gates, the southwestern stronghold, and the southeastern stronghold.
2	Once you've taken the strongholds the combat engineers will begin to make their way to the front gates. Note that they will be ambushed so keep at least one ally with them at all times. Using the Combat Engineer Reinforcements, the time needed to blow up the gate will be reduced.
3	Enemies will attack from the east and west strongholds here so once they're open, send one ally into each to take them out while another protects the Engineer. It's best to leave a powerful ally or Shez with the engineer, but note that Paladins will attack.
4	When the timer strikes zero, the gates will be blasted open! Immediately seize the opportunity to take down the enemies at the entrance. Get as many as you can before Ashe appears.
5	If you chose to recruit Ashe, this is your time! Quickly defeat him so the Combat Engineer can continue to work on the next door.
6	If you have a team on the western side of the map, send them up northwest to defeat Felix.
7	While defeating Felix, the rest of your allies should be by the gate, protective the Engineer from the onslaught of enemies. A side quest will begin to take the strongholds to the left and right of the gate.
8	Once they're defeated and the gate is open, about 6 Kingdom Soldier units will appear, along with reinforcements from the Federation. Defeat them as quickly as possible by spreading your allies across the map.
9	By defeating the soldiers, Felix and Rodrigue will open the strongholds to the north. Run over and take them down as quickly as you can. Note that this is not the last fight. So save a few resources for later.
10	There will be a side quest to stop a Priest from healing either Felix or Rodrigue. This is optional and can be done for extra gold.
11	Once Felix and Rodrigue have been defeated, Margrave Gautier will come in to rescue them. Order an All-Out Offensive on his position and overwhelm him with everything you've got to end the fight quickly.
