 * ... of 3 gates still stand.
 * ... of 3 bombards still function.
 * ... of 4 generals still remain.
 *  *BONUS*  Keep the bastion's defenses intact.
 * ... of 6 defenses left intact.

Walkthrough
To defeat the four attacking generals, first order the Whispers to guard two of the three gates, while you take the third gate. The Whispers themselves are generally incompetent at stopping the generals advances, so after you finish a battle, you have to quickly run back and provide reinforcements. If the Margonite generals get too close to capture points, gates, or bombards, they themselves can capture and disable it.

If the Margonite generals make it too deep past the defenses, immediately run back towards the checkpoint on the map (press [u]) to prevent the generals from capturing it as well and causing you to fail. Just stand your ground as each general takes turns pummeling your henchmen and heroes, make sure your party is well healed. Finally the fourth general will probably be outside of the fortress, just go outside and kill him.

Bonus
This bonus is a little tricky, as the Whisper groups will get overwhelmed pretty soon once the generals show up. The four generals that spawn, from East to West are: Elementalist, Paragon, Monk, and Warrior. The one that does the most damage, by far is, not surprisingly, the Elementalist general, followed by the Warrior one. These two generals, and the Elementalist one especially, will cut through the defenders very quickly. Therefore, it is most advantageous to accomplish the Master's requirement by attacking and killing the Elementalist general first, followed by the Warrior, letting the Whisper groups hold out against the two center generals, the Paragon and Monk as long as possible. One strategy is to split the group, sending a Minion Master, and possibly another, hard to kill member of the group, such as a Ranger, to harrass and delay the Margonites on whatever side the rest of the party is currently not focussing on, allowing the Whisper groups to hold out until the rest of the party can get there to help.
