Money Route

Assuming you take all lowest income battles, you end up with an "extra" $9600.
You can then do HHB for the 3rd Ch3 fight, and you have $1600 left. You can also
use that money to HHG a battle before Ch3 incase you get ambushed, which leaves you
with $2600 extra. These numbers assume you don't use HHG on the 1st Ch3 battle.
Since you have a bit of extra money, you can afford to flee from 1/2 battles on this trip.
Note that you might need to use money for HHR.

Run from small battles, kill Borderfall/Montwise with Tera. If Throne is 2nd T1, can try to flee.
Soothe Guard.

Northern Montwise Pass

I recommend taking the night battles, that way only 1 battle requires HHR and night battles generally die a bit faster.
