For the operation, it appears that the amaro must be given the selfsame serum that you were compelled to take. In order to encourage the beasts to cooperate, the foul concoction has been sprinkled on their fodder. All that remains is to see them fed. Lyna bids you assist in this task, and directs you to fetch the fodder from the amaro launch.
You have obtained the fodder. Time to see if the amaro will be fooled.
Though some amaro are plainly unimpressed by the taste, they all devour the fodder. Lyna will be eager for your report.
The preparations for the operation proceed apace, and Lyna instructs you to make ready and await deployment at the top of the main watchtower.
The operation has begun. From your vantage point overlooking Laxan Loft, you watch as the dream powder takes effect on the Eulmoran soldiers below. At Lyna's command, you mount your amaro and descend on the stronghold to rescue Minfilia.
You make your way through Laxan Loft and succeed in finding Minfilia, only to find your path barred by General Ran'jit, who effortlessly overpowers you. Just when it seems twisted Eulmoran justice is to be your fate, help arrives in the form of Thancred. Though he too is no match for your foe, he does enough to create an opening for you to flee, and leads you away to the neighboring region of Il Mheg, where you should be safe from pursuit. However, a new predicament soon presents itself, as mischievous voices ring out everywhere and nowhere, and some manner of enchantment takes the party in its grip.
※If you leave Il Mheg, you may re-enter via the gate on Lakeland's northwestern border.
In vexed tones, Thancred explains that Il Mheg is the home of the fae folk, the most prominent of whom are the pixies. These mischievous souls employ powerful illusions to play tricks on trespassers, and you are now completely at their mercy...

Gwee?
Lyna
In readiness for the operation, the amaro will need to be treated with the same serum as us.
Lyna
As you well know, however, it is not pleasant. In order to coax them into taking it, we have sprinkled it on their fodder.
Lyna
All that remains is to feed it to them. A task I am sure you will enjoy. Fetch the fodder from the amaro launch and see to four of the beasts. Dismissed.
Lyna
The treated fodder is by the launch. Report back to me when you've finished feeding the patients.

Lyna
The amaro are fed?
Lyna
Good. The rest have already been dosed, so we need not fear any of our mounts succumbing to the dream powder.
Lyna
All units have now entered the final stages of their preparations. The time is nigh.
Lyna
Make ready, and await deployment atop the main watchtower. I will send your uniform along as soon as it arrives.
Lyna
That is all. May night smile upon us.
Lyna
Why are you still here? Go and await deployment atop the main watchtower.
Crystariumgardpicket
The operation is about to commence! Stand ready!
Ryne
Th-Thank you. Are you...from the Crystarium?
Lyna
Correct. We've come to rescue you.
Lyna
Your weapons─made to the same specifications as Thancred's.
Lyna
Be ready to use them.
Ryne
U-Understood. Please lead the way.
Ranjit
Hmph, brazen thieves.
Ranjit
You will regret coming here.
Alphinaud
Faeries, I take it?
Alisaie
I was worried about the others back in Lakeland, but maybe I should be worried about us.
Ryne
I'm trying my best to remember...but it feels like peering through fog.
Thancred
Il Mheg is the faerie kingdom, and as one might expect, it is home to the fae folk.
Thancred
The most prominent among them are the pixies, who have a penchant for making mischief. They use powerful illusions to play tricks on all who venture into their domain.
Thancred
By way of an example, they can make a familiar path seem wholly unfamiliar, or lead you to believe you're somewhere you're not.
Thancred
And we are now, I am sorry to say, entirely at their mercy.
