In Episode 19, Ars learns that Lord Lupa's wife is being held hostage at Rolto Castle. This forces Lupa to remain loyal to the enemy. Determined to help and secure Lupa's support, Ars offers to rescue his wife. To achieve this, he plans to lure the enemy troops out of the fortress by staging a feigned attack with a force of five thousand soldiers, led by Ars and Lumeire, before retreating. Simultaneously, the elite Shadow unit is to infiltrate the castle and free the hostages.

They are supported by Clamant Maitraw III, the leader of the notorious Maitraw mercenary group, who criticizes their troops' lack of experience but agrees to assist. On the battlefield, the enemy cavalry proves stronger than expected, and Ars' forces risk being overwhelmed. Despite suggestions to call for reinforcements, Ars insists on proceeding with the plan. Unexpectedly, Lupa arrives with his troops to support them, fully siding with them—despite the personal risk. This turn of events shifts the tide of the battle. At the same time, Shadow succeeds in infiltrating Rolto Castle and rescuing the hostages, including Lupa's wife.
