Leading the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus alongside Dimitri, they are able to defeat the Empire and Alliance's forces, forcing both to retreat when Edelgard and Claude are defeated respectively. The former's defeat and subsequent escape from the battlefield enrages Dimitri who decides to follow her personally while the others go back. Dimitri fails to notice a young woman whom they took in at the Great Bride of Myrddin brandishing a sword who lands a deep wound. Before attempting to strike Dimitri, she angrily criticizes him for not being deemed forever unforgivable, but also for murdering her older brother, Randolph. Just as she is about to land the final blow, Rodrigue takes the lethal strike, allowing Byleth to kill the woman.
Rodrigue's sacrifice causes Dimitri to realize the weight of his actions and how it had blinded him. While he still is bent on killing Edelgard, he has put that mission on hold in order to kill Cornelia in order to restore the Kingdom back under his control first.

With the capture of the Great Bridge of Myrddin after the events of Chapter 16, the Alliance is fully unified as Count Gloucester and Count Ordelia switch allegiances, agreeing to commit troops and resourcs to fighting the Empire. In the meantime, an army flying the banner of the fallen House Blaiddyd has swept south from the Kingdom, avoiding Alliance forces stationed at the Great Bridge and instead bearing toward Ordelia. With Imperial forces led by Edelgard rallying at Fort Merceus, the stage is set for a three-way onslaught between the three nations at Gronder Field.
During the battle itself, the Alliance army, led by Claude and Byleth, manages to defeat both the Imperial army and the Kingdom army led by Dimitri, who had escaped execution in Fhirdiad. After the battle, Dimitri pursues the wounded Edelgard, but collapses from exhaustion and is slain by her rear guard. Dedue, witnessing what happened, swears to continue his liege's pursuit of vengeance in his stead.
The night after the battle, Lysithea, who noticed strange masked mages clad in black among the ranks of the Imperial army, approaches Byleth and Claude to inform them of House Ordelia's history with these mages and with the Empire, further informing them of the blood experiments they conducted on her and her deceased relatives. She warns the two to be wary of these mages' dreadful knowledge and power and their alliance with the Empire as Leicester forces prepare to capitalize on their momentum and advance deep into Imperial territory.
