Walkthrough
When the mission begins, you will be in the town of Beetletun. White Mantle soldiers will threaten villagers on the east side of the mission map. Position Miku close to them during their speech and when they become hostile, kill them as quickly as possible. Maintain Keiran's Shout to protect the villagers; all survivors will assist you in the battles that follow. Following the initial fight, Keiran will receive an additional Shout skill.

Waves of enemies will then attack alternating sides of the village, and the villagers will continue to fight. Again, maintain Keiran's Shouts to protect villagers on both sides, and avoid the front lines. Use interrupts frequently, and watch out for enemy necromancers that will hide outside the village and produce minions.

Miku will announce that "looks like the big one" shortly before the final wave of attackers appears. It's helpful to get behind the surviving villagers for protection in the final battle.

Before Battle

 * Shining Blade Warrior: "Good People of Beetletun, we come to you on behalf of Queen Salma."
 * Krytan: "The Six bless Salma! What can we do to help?"
 * Shining Blade Warrior: "The Queen is imposing new taxes upon all of her subjects. Those unable to pay will do so with their lives. And since this village looks rather poor...your deaths will be your vow of fealty!"
 * Krytan: "What? N-No! Someone, help us!"

After Initial Confrontation

 * Keiran Thackeray: "People of Beetletun! You have been deceived by the White Mantle!"
 * Keiran Thackeray: "They seek to tarnish the name of the Shining Blade, and they will unless we stand up. They will write their message in your blood unless we face them down, here and now."
 * Keiran Thackeray: "If we stand together, we can win this battle. I will lead you to victory!"
 * Keiran Thackeray: "Have faith and we will see this through! There's nothing to fear!"
 * Krytan: "We're with you!"

After First Wave

 * Keiran Thackeray: "Fight hard! Make the White Mantle regret ever threatening your homes!"

Mid-battle

 * Keiran Thackeray: "You're doing well! We can win this fight!"
 * Miku: "Heh. This looks like the big one. I hope you're ready!"

After All Waves

 * Krytan: "We've done it! Our village is safe!"
 * Miku: "You did a brave thing back there. You didn't just save those people. You gave them the courage to fight for themselves."
 * Keiran Thackeray: "Now I understand what it means to be a leader. I know that I can change, and I can be something more. Thanks to you."
 * Miku: "Don't flatter me...too much. I only brought out what was there all along."
 * Miku: "Listen, just as you've realized something...so have I. There's a place that I need to return to. There's unfinished business I need to take care of."
 * Miku: "You could come with me. I like having you by my side."
 * Keiran Thackeray: "It would be so easy for me to say yes. But I have unfinished business of my own. Someone I need to return to. Someone who has been nothing but difficult..."
 * Keiran Thackeray: "But I understand now, the challenge is what drew me to her. I need to see this through."
 * Miku: "I suspected as much. Farewell, Keiran. I hope that our paths will cross again someday. It'll give you time to reconsider! Heh."

Gwen

 * Gwen: "Keiran, Keiran...you brash, idiotic, persistent, childish...sweet fool."
 * Gwen: "He's out there somewhere, and he's looking for me."
 * Gwen: "This time...this time I'm going to meet him halfway. That's the only way this is going to work."
 * Gwen: "Please help me find him. I need to see him once more...there's something I have to tell him!"
