For Obel's Freedom

The One Where Setsu Doesn't Slap His Butt

For Obel's Freedom (オベル王国奪回戦, Oberu Ōkoku Dakkaisen, Obel Kingdom Recapture) is a naval battle that occurs in Suikoden IV. It is the ninth such battle of the game.

Information

This battle was an attempt by the Allied Forces, having amassed significant support, to liberate the occupied Kingdom of Obel from the Kooluk Empire.

Before the battle, 2nd Kooluk Fleet commander Colton had planned a strategy of holding reinforcements within Obel's large sea cave (the same one the Headquarters Ship was originally hidden in), in order to launch a pincer attack. However, allied strategist Elenor Silverberg was able to anticipate the plan and communicated through Mizuki with Princess Flare to prevent said reinforcements from being deployed.

Flare's attack prevented the reinforcements from joining their companions, splitting the Kooluk fleet's strength in two. As such, the 2nd Kooluk Fleet was defeated and Colton would be captured by the Allied Forces, resulting in the liberation of Obel.
