The war between Yaegara and Lereftain has begun. Longreach has fallen, and the Yaegaran army is pushing forward on West Ascension, which happens to be right between our heroes and their destination, and with no other alternative they are forced to cut their way through the battlefield.
This is not a boss fight, but it's nonetheless important so I'm recording it. The battle for West Ascension consists of four or five (I forget exactly) fights with Yaegaran troops. They have riflemen, pikemen, priests and knights. During combat, you can call in reinforcements of allied soldiers and cavalry who will attack your enemies. This can be done a maximum of two times. I recommend you use the reinforcements against riflemen for several reasons. One, they have the lowest armor, but the highest dodge, so your allies are very effective against them. Two, riflemen are by far the most annoying enemies, because they can use High Fire to attack your weakest character, so you want to get rid of them ASAP. Enpowdered Thunderstrikes will annihilate almost all foes you'll encounter here. Against knights you can charge up the thunderstrike for even more massive damage. The priest is of little use but he can still support the team with heals and blessings.
The music that plays during this event is aptly called "The Battle for West Ascension" and is composed by Josh Whelchel.
Thanks for the vids. They really helped me beat the game! :)
