When the group arrives at Igros, Algus for some reason begins to think he's in charge and asks for a hundred troops to help retake the Marquis; military intelligence has learned that the Marquis has been kidnapped by the Death Corps, a group of anarchists displeased with their low status after fighting for the country in the Fifty Year War.

Dycedarg reminds Algus of his rank and tells him that Gallionne will command the troops.  Later, in a courtyard, Zalbag comes and talks with Ramza, telling him that "guarding a castle is boring work" and drops a hint that the enemy may be causing trouble at Dorter Trade City.  That's the group's next goal, to investigate the Death Corps at Dorter.  Along the way to Dorter lies Sweegy Woods, where the next battle awaits.

Sweegy Woods

The battle may seem tough because of the number of enemies, but they're all just regular monsters and are easier to defeat than human enemies.  The best job classes to have here are Archers and Wizards, because Archers can attack from long range and then run, and Wizards can deal a lot of elemental damage, also from range. Specifically, the goblin-class monsters are weak to Ice magic.

If you've been struggling with battles so far, fight a couple of random battles at Mandalia Plains to level up your existing jobs so you can change to better ones, and make sure that if you bring in Archers, you've equipped them properly with CrossbowBow Guns. This is even better if you can make your two guest characters into the Archers, because that will change the way they think about going into battle, often keeping them alive longer.

It doesn't matter what order you defeat the enemies in as long as you kill the Bombs quickly; if you don't, they'll self-destruct and cause a lot of damage.  Once again, it really helps to have a Chemist so you can heal if someone takes too much damage.  A Priest also works well even though they have to charge their spells and Chemists can use items instantly. If your Chemist is sufficiently advanced, a Priest with Items as a secondary skill and the Throw Item support ability will allow the Priest to be even more useful and also build up JP to unlock magical jobs further up the job tree.

You may want to consider doing some more random battles if you've been struggling still, as the next battle has another local difficulty peak. Having Move +1 for the next battle is very helpful.
