Front Line

Front Line is a dungeon in Tales of Legendia. It is only available during Chapter 5 of the Main Quest and is located near The Crags.

Geography
The Front Line is lined with tents, watchtowers, chests, and patrolling guards. The start of the area features a supply shop and a place for the group to rest before their mission. Should the group get caught by a soldier, they will be forced into a battle and must start back from their last entry point.

Main Quest
After the group arrives at the base camp, they decide to hide and rest until nightfall when the operation begins. Norma Beatty starts chewing out Senel Coolidge for telling her not to nap when he was sleeping like a rock. Chloe Valens wonders if there are really any soldiers from the Holy Rexalian Empire are onboard the Legacy since she never heard any rumors until now. After Will Raynard leads them to the site, Moses Sandor is surprised to see a lot of people lined up in formation. Will explains that they are in fact Rexalian soldiers. Although they are actually civilians, they are prepared to assemble to battle when neccessary. Senel and Norma suddenly feel a familiar presence and at that moment, Ed Curtis and Isabella Robbins appear. Senel wonders if they are soldiers as well, but Will reveals that Ed is actually the chief commander of the empire's Elite Guard and will direct the entire operation alongside Maurits Welnes. Chloe and Norma are surprised to hear this, and Chloe asks why they are here when the job of the Elite Guard is to protect the Holy Sovereign.

Isabella explains that the Holy Sovereign has been onboard the Legacy for years now and Ed tells them that the "Bantam Bouncers" outfit is a disguise so they can hide in plain sight. After Maurits, Ed, and Isabella gives the rallying cry to the allied forces, they begin storming the front line. The 30th platoon (Senel's group) begins their infiltration of the rear guard. Will warns them not to get caught in the patrolling guards' line of sight and just focus on breaking through the ranks.

As the group makes their way through, they see some of the enemy soldiers get chased off by a battalion of automata. Chloe wonders if Walter Delques is the one controlling them, but Norma and Moses get fired up since they do not like the idea of losing to Walter. Back at the base camp, Maurits explains that the result of the battle will set the course for the war's outcome and they must be victorious. Isabella explains that the situation does not look good as she explains that Vaclav Bolud has many experienced soldiers within his ranks, and Jay also tells them that the main force should be reacting to the attack soon and they may be in a disadvantage if the front-line base does not fall. Ed is impressed by Walter's sentinel troops and thinks about recruiting him for the Bouncers.

The group makes it to the base and find a Pharaoh Gigant guarding the rear. The group fights the beast and emerge victorious. Moses calls out to Csaba Rajk and the rest of his crew and the rest of the soldiers let out a victory cry. At the other side, Isabella receives a report that Vaclav's defensive line has fallen thanks to the 30th Platoon. Grune and Fenimore Xelhes is relieved that they are safe. At the captured base, Maurits gives the allied forces a victory speech and prepare for their next battle. Senel realizes that this is the first time that they have won against Vaclav's troops. Jay comes to give his congratulations and explains that the rest of the allied forces are headed for the Bridge Plain and asks the group to join them there. Grune and Fenimore arrive and Grune gives Senel a hug which surprises him as well as a few others. It was then that a golden light shone brightly and it came from Raging Bay. Norma says that it is the same light that appeared when Senel and Shirley Fennes first came to the Legacy, and Moses thinks that even the Legacy is celebrating their victory. Senel then realizes that the light is the same color as Stella Telmes' Teriques.
