1. In this world...
Copy !req
2. Is the destiny of mankind controlled
by some transcendental entity or law?
Copy !req
3. Is it like the hand
of God hovering above?
Copy !req
4. At least it is true...
Copy !req
5. that man has no control,
even over his own will.
Copy !req
6. Guts...
Copy !req
7. are you thinking of...
Copy !req
8. Are you going to leave
the Band of the Hawk?
Copy !req
9. Feel no shame about shape.
Copy !req
10. Weather changes their phrase.
Copy !req
11. Even mother will show you another way.
Copy !req
12. So put your glasses on.
Copy !req
13. Nothing will be wrong.
Copy !req
14. There's no blame. There's no fame.
Copy !req
15. It's up to you.
Copy !req
16. The first words should be found.
Copy !req
17. Whatever holds you back.
Copy !req
18. I...
Copy !req
19. can...
Copy !req
20. I can get it off.
Copy !req
21. Tell me what...
Copy !req
22. Tell me what...
Copy !req
23. Tell me what you want.
Copy !req
24. I don't know why...
Copy !req
25. Don't know why...
Copy !req
26. Don't know why you're afraid.
Copy !req
27. Tell me what...
Copy !req
28. Tell me what...
Copy !req
29. Tell me what you'd say.
Copy !req
30. I don't know why...
Copy !req
31. Don't know why...
Copy !req
32. Too late...
Copy !req
33. It's too late.
Copy !req
34. The Decisive Battle
Copy !req
35. Message!
Copy !req
36. Message!
Copy !req
37. I have a report!
Copy !req
38. Our army has endured
immense damage!
Copy !req
39. Only this headquarters
remains intact!
Copy !req
40. How could this have happened?
Copy !req
41. We White Tiger Knights have one of
the strongest armies in all Midland...
Copy !req
42. and we have been beaten so easily!
Copy !req
43. That castle of Doldrey
is quite impregnable!
Copy !req
44. I have a report!
Copy !req
45. Now what?
Copy !req
46. A thousand cavalrymen from
the enemy fort's main gate!
Copy !req
47. They are charging our headquarters!
Copy !req
48. What?
Copy !req
49. The strongest of all Tudor's armies...
Copy !req
50. The Purple Rhino Knights?
Copy !req
51. This hundred-year war...
Copy !req
52. was triggered by the Tudor Empire's
invasion on Midland's territory.
Copy !req
53. The castle of Doldrey
once belonged...
Copy !req
54. to our kingdom as
an integral part of our defenses.
Copy !req
55. Ironically, this fort has
become a staging point...
Copy !req
56. for attacks by the Tudor army
ever since they captured it.
Copy !req
57. However, civil war may break forth
at any moment in the Tudor Empire...
Copy !req
58. in regards to the matter
of imperial succession.
Copy !req
59. Most likely, the empire cannot...
Copy !req
60. afford to spare all of its
great military forces for this war.
Copy !req
61. Indeed, this is
a rare opportunity for us!
Copy !req
62. We can't miss this opportunity
to achieve the conquest of Doldrey!
Copy !req
63. No, to recapture our fief!
Copy !req
64. Very well, what shall we do about it?
Copy !req
65. The principal garrison stationed
there is the Purple Rhino Knights.
Copy !req
66. They're led by fierce General Boscone
and are the strongest knights...
Copy !req
67. in the entire empire!
Copy !req
68. Even our most powerful asset...
Copy !req
69. the White Tiger Knights, suffered
great losses when engaging them.
Copy !req
70. An all-out attack...
Copy !req
71. That might be our only option.
Copy !req
72. That is very risky!
Copy !req
73. You must consider
the overall campaign...
Copy !req
74. as we've already lost forty percent
of our total fighting strength.
Copy !req
75. There is no guarantee...
Copy !req
76. that we will conquer Doldrey,
even if we deploy all of our assets.
Copy !req
77. If the battle is prolonged...
Copy !req
78. We will likely be caught between their
main army and the occupation forces!
Copy !req
79. If we are rash, we'll risk the
annihilation of our entire armed forces.
Copy !req
80. I believe the war is overall in our favor,
and eventually we shall be victorious.
Copy !req
81. Therefore, such a dangerous
gamble is not worth the risk.
Copy !req
82. But our final objective in this war
is to take control of Doldrey!
Copy !req
83. To recapture our fief,
occupying Doldrey is essential!
Copy !req
84. However, which unit will be
considered for the role of the vanguard?
Copy !req
85. Remember, we lost
the White Tiger Knights.
Copy !req
86. Well...
Copy !req
87. What would you say, Sir Griffith?
Copy !req
88. Even your invincible Band of the Hawk
wouldn't be able to handle this, right?
Copy !req
89. We could, if given the order.
Copy !req
90. I understand. It can't be helped...
Copy !req
91. Hey...
Copy !req
92. If Your Majesty gives me the order...
Copy !req
93. Nonsense!
Copy !req
94. Do you think you can really do it?
Copy !req
95. Your Lordship understands
nothing about the difficulties!
Copy !req
96. He has gotten
a rather swelled head...
Copy !req
97. on account of his
lucky victories in the past.
Copy !req
98. I agree.
Copy !req
99. During the past one hundred years,
that castle has never been damaged...
Copy !req
100. despite all of our many
desperate attempts to capture it.
Copy !req
101. However, you still say
you can conquer it?
Copy !req
102. My Lord Griffith...
Copy !req
103. Can you truly do this?
Copy !req
104. He is being reckless, Your Majesty!
Copy !req
105. The Doldrey conquest requires us
to employ an enormous armed force!
Copy !req
106. If we fail at this time, it will cause
great permanent damage to us...
Copy !req
107. I do not need to engage
them with a large army.
Copy !req
108. The Band of the Hawk alone
will cope with this matter.
Copy !req
109. What?
Copy !req
110. That's impossible!
Copy !req
111. Who do you think you are?
Copy !req
112. Don't be ridiculous!
Copy !req
113. A mere force of five thousand men...
Copy !req
114. against the enemy's occupation
force of thirty thousand strong?
Copy !req
115. Don't get cocky, boy!
Copy !req
116. And don't think your cunning
little schemes will succeed forever!
Copy !req
117. General...
Copy !req
118. There's no need
to get up in arms over this.
Copy !req
119. What?
Copy !req
120. Sooner or later, we will
have to venture into total war.
Copy !req
121. We are left with
no other options in this matter.
Copy !req
122. But having a single troop
first carry out such a clever ploy...
Copy !req
123. should not affect
the overall leadership of this army.
Copy !req
124. And considering the Band of
the Hawk's past achievements...
Copy !req
125. it's unfair to say that
they will have no chance at all.
Copy !req
126. Do not underestimate Doldrey!
Copy !req
127. Damn...
Copy !req
128. Your Majesty,
please give us your final word.
Copy !req
129. I command that the Band of the Hawk
be committed to Doldrey's conquest.
Copy !req
130. His Majesty has certainly aged.
Copy !req
131. How could he rely upon
a newcomer, a boy like him?
Copy !req
132. The army of Midland
has lost all dignity.
Copy !req
133. Well...
Copy !req
134. I can imagine how he feels,
but there's nothing that can be done...
Copy !req
135. You have quite a high opinion
of that man, don't you?
Copy !req
136. I wonder if the White Hawk will rise
to the occasion, as you expect he will.
Copy !req
137. Well, either way, I told them the truth.
Copy !req
138. Even if he loses the battle...
Copy !req
139. No other man in Midland...
Copy !req
140. is even capable of
conquering Doldrey.
Copy !req
141. Certainly.
Copy !req
142. It may be strange
for a man to say this...
Copy !req
143. but he looks as if
he just stepped out of a painting.
Copy !req
144. A commander beyond all others...
Copy !req
145. Perhaps, we are fighting
alongside the kind of hero...
Copy !req
146. who only emerges
once in a century.
Copy !req
147. Doldrey, huh?
Copy !req
148. Whatever, it makes
no difference to me.
Copy !req
149. Anyone can win a war
or dice game if it's meant to be!
Copy !req
150. There!
Copy !req
151. There you go!
Copy !req
152. Get outta here!
Copy !req
153. Winning ten times in a row?
Copy !req
154. The commander
won everything again.
Copy !req
155. You really have the
devil's own luck, boss!
Copy !req
156. All right!
Copy !req
157. I won't give up until
I get my money back!
Copy !req
158. What's wrong?
Copy !req
159. Is there something bothering you?
Copy !req
160. N-No...
Copy !req
161. Don't worry.
Copy !req
162. We've been through
this kind of thing before.
Copy !req
163. If a self-respecting man
like him offered to fight...
Copy !req
164. The odds must be in his favor.
Copy !req
165. I hope he doesn't
lose his composure...
Copy !req
166. Do you remember what
I told you some time ago?
Copy !req
167. When we became involved in
a territorial dispute in a certain region...
Copy !req
168. Griffith...
Copy !req
169. I mean...
Copy !req
170. That nobleman you mentioned...
Copy !req
171. Shit, the commander won again?
Copy !req
172. Give me a break!
Copy !req
173. That nobleman was promoted
to governor in a certain empire...
Copy !req
174. His bribe money spoke the loudest
when the position was awarded.
Copy !req
175. Hey, don't tell me he...
Copy !req
176. The governor of the empire of
Tudor's northlands, Governor Gennon.
Copy !req
177. That's the title he currently holds.
Copy !req
178. Sir Adon, we are glad to see you safe.
Copy !req
179. I, known far and wide as the
invulnerable and resourceful Adon...
Copy !req
180. would never die so easily!
Copy !req
181. Anyway, that boy...
Copy !req
182. If we meet on the battlefield again,
I certainly won't let him get away!
Copy !req
183. For shame, Adon!
Copy !req
184. Your Grace, General Boscone!
Copy !req
185. To settle a personal grudge...
Copy !req
186. You deployed all those mercenaries,
and all you achieved was total defeat!
Copy !req
187. Even worse than that,
your brother Samson is dead!
Copy !req
188. You've got a lot of nerve
coming back here alone...
Copy !req
189. after such a disgrace!
Copy !req
190. No, uh...
Copy !req
191. I-It is not true, Your Grace...
Copy !req
192. Truthfully...
Copy !req
193. This is outrageous!
Copy !req
194. From now on, I divest you of any
authority to command in this war.
Copy !req
195. You should appreciate the fact I'm
not throwing you in the dungeons!
Copy !req
196. Your foe was reportedly only one
soldier, the same man in the rumors...
Copy !req
197. That cannot be...
Copy !req
198. You were strict as usual.
Copy !req
199. I could even hear you
shouting from up here.
Copy !req
200. Please excuse my harsh manner.
It must be unpleasant to your ear.
Copy !req
201. All right then.
Copy !req
202. By the way, according to my spies...
Copy !req
203. the second wave for the conquest
of Doldrey has been chosen.
Copy !req
204. You know them well by now...
Copy !req
205. the Band of the Hawk.
Copy !req
206. You look happy.
Copy !req
207. No, I do not mean to...
Copy !req
208. But they seem to be much
more difficult to deal with...
Copy !req
209. than the other opponents, who
rely only on numbers and reputation.
Copy !req
210. Anyhow, I need to tell you something
before you set off for battle.
Copy !req
211. The Band of the Hawk's leader,
Griffith the White Hawk...
Copy !req
212. You must not kill him.
Copy !req
213. Keep him alive and bring him to me.
Copy !req
214. But...
Copy !req
215. Keep in mind this is
your governor's order.
Copy !req
216. How are your wounds? Still hurts?
Copy !req
217. I'm fine now.
Copy !req
218. Thanks to the medicine you gave me.
Copy !req
219. Even so, the more I see
that fortress, the less confident I feel.
Copy !req
220. The castle walls are built twice as
high and twice as thick than any other.
Copy !req
221. The far side is protected
by a sheer cliff...
Copy !req
222. And the Purple Rhinos
are stationed there as well.
Copy !req
223. No big deal. It's just like
any other castle, only bigger.
Copy !req
224. We'll just do what we always do.
Copy !req
225. I hope so, anyway.
Copy !req
226. Either way, I'm surprised.
Copy !req
227. He burned all the boats.
Copy !req
228. What on earth is
the White Hawk thinking?
Copy !req
229. I wonder if his tactic is to position
himself with his back to the river?
Copy !req
230. It doesn't matter.
Copy !req
231. With their numbers, they can only
stave off the inevitable for a moment.
Copy !req
232. All we have to do
is attack them head-on.
Copy !req
233. However...
Copy !req
234. Does the governor happen
to have some relation to him?
Copy !req
235. Well, it's a waste of time for me
to worry about such absurdities!
Copy !req
236. My duty is only to tear
my opponents apart until the end!
Copy !req
237. The White Hawk...
Copy !req
238. I have never imagined that
I would see him alive again.
Copy !req
239. I'll definitely have him.
Copy !req
240. Look at all of this dust!
Copy !req
241. It's part of my plan.
Copy !req
242. Are you all right?
Copy !req
243. Good.
Copy !req
244. It's about time to move.
Copy !req
245. I hope he doesn't
lose his composure...
Copy !req
246. That will never happen.
Copy !req
247. He's the last man to lose his calm...
Copy !req
248. This is the final time...
Copy !req
249. I wield my sword under this flag...
Copy !req
250. First formation, advance!
Copy !req
251. But I'm not going to leave
any loose ends behind me...
Copy !req
252. I'm going to take full responsibility
as the leader of the Raiders!
Copy !req
253. Draw your swords!
Copy !req
254. First formation, charge!
Copy !req
255. The first formation contains...
Copy !req
256. two thousand men directly under
Griffith and his top companies' control!
Copy !req
257. What nonsense...
Copy !req
258. Dividing his army into two formations
when he only has five thousand men?
Copy !req
259. I don't know what kind of
cunning plan he's trying to hatch...
Copy !req
260. Very well, I'll accept your challenge!
Copy !req
261. All units, charge!
Copy !req
262. Grind the enemy's
first formation into dust!
Copy !req
263. Are these their Raiders
we've heard so many reports about?
Copy !req
264. Interesting!
Copy !req
265. One of the enemy's companies
is bursting through our front line!
Copy !req
266. They're aiming to get at our army's
leaders by breaking through head-on...
Copy !req
267. Is this the White Hawk's scheme?
Copy !req
268. Follow the commander!
Copy !req
269. This can't be!
Copy !req
270. Nothing has ever obstructed
the Purple Rhino's assault before...
Copy !req
271. We can't move any further.
In fact, we might even be repelled!
Copy !req
272. General!
Copy !req
273. That's him.
Copy !req
274. Reportedly, he wiped out one hundred
mercenaries all by himself...
Copy !req
275. It seems that report
was not altogether false.
Copy !req
276. Well, the White Hawk
possesses good personnel.
Copy !req
277. Remain steadfast!
Copy !req
278. They're just trying
to disrupt our training!
Copy !req
279. Fall back into formation,
then counterattack!
Copy !req
280. They put up a good fight
against the Purple Rhino Knights...
Copy !req
281. But they will soon realize their limits.
Copy !req
282. Damn you, Boscone! At this rate,
you could end up killing Griffith!
Copy !req
283. Someone, attend to me!
Copy !req
284. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
285. Have my personal guard
prepare to take the field.
Copy !req
286. I will command directly
from the battlefield!
Copy !req
287. However, what about
defending the castle?
Copy !req
288. Pay no mind!
Copy !req
289. As things stand,
the Band of the Hawk cannot...
Copy !req
290. get any closer to the castle walls.
Copy !req
291. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
292. My precious hawk
is coming back to me...
Copy !req
293. I'm not going to let him
be killed for nothing.
Copy !req
294. It's time, Captain!
Copy !req
295. All companies, retreat!
Copy !req
296. Regroup at the base camp!
Copy !req
297. Come on, men, get moving!
Copy !req
298. The enemy is retreating!
Copy !req
299. Start the pursuit!
Copy !req
300. Strange!
Copy !req
301. They must have foreseen
the consequences...
Copy !req
302. since they chose
this particular strategy.
Copy !req
303. Did the invincible White Hawk
really plot this scheme?
Copy !req
304. I'm not going to contradict you...
Copy !req
305. but maybe you think
too highly of those men, General?
Copy !req
306. Nevertheless, just give us
the command to pursue them!
Copy !req
307. If we let them get away...
Copy !req
308. the soldiers will be disgruntled
because they'll have missed out...
Copy !req
309. on their chance at glory!
Copy !req
310. What are you doing, Boscone?
Copy !req
311. Governor!
Copy !req
312. The enemy is retreating.
Copy !req
313. Will you miss a chance
for victory just to observe them?
Copy !req
314. No, but...
Copy !req
315. I order everyone!
Copy !req
316. Do not kill
the enemy's leader, Count Griffith!
Copy !req
317. Capture him alive!
Copy !req
318. I promise that
anyone who succeeds...
Copy !req
319. in capturing him will be
immediately promoted two ranks!
Copy !req
320. I will reward you with
whatever you want!
Copy !req
321. Governor!
Copy !req
322. You should not promise such things.
Copy !req
323. I care not!
Copy !req
324. But it affects military discipline!
Copy !req
325. Boscone!
Copy !req
326. From now on,
I am taking direct command!
Copy !req
327. The Purple Rhino Knights are
to immediately pursue the enemy!
Copy !req
328. Notify the entire army of my orders!
Copy !req
329. Make sure it is enforced!
Copy !req
330. General...
Copy !req
331. There's nothing we can do about this.
Copy !req
332. All units, move to pursue the enemy!
Copy !req
333. As rear guard, there are far too
many for me to take on alone...
Copy !req
334. But after everything, they are taking
the bait, just as Griffith planned.
Copy !req
335. Yeah, everything was executed so
it would play perfectly into your hand...
Copy !req
336. As always...
Copy !req
337. What a thrilling view!
Copy !req
338. We're not going to deal
with all of that, are we?
Copy !req
339. Formations, regroup!
Copy !req
340. We are reaching a crucial moment.
Copy !req
341. Our backs are to the river!
Copy !req
342. There's no way to escape!
Copy !req
343. Lay down your lives!
Copy !req
344. If you don't, we are doomed!
Copy !req
345. If we can survive...
Copy !req
346. then we'll have won!
Copy !req
347. Looking back, the morning comes.
Copy !req
348. Don't find your face in your glass.
Copy !req
349. Take the moonlight by the tail.
Copy !req
350. It's a rainy sight. You're shading.
Copy !req
351. What is that?
Copy !req
352. It's just the same.
Copy !req
353. What is trying your crown?
Copy !req
354. I'm spending my glass, walking back.
Copy !req
355. So wear my glass. You're fading.
Copy !req
356. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
357. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
358. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
359. I'm waiting...
Copy !req
360. Next Episode
Copy !req
361. When every battle means life
or death, defeat is not an option.
Copy !req
362. No matter how much pain
and grief a man undergoes...
Copy !req
363. he can never turn his back.
Copy !req
364. To realize a dream
means to shed blood.
Copy !req
365. Could this also be the curse
of having a youthful heart?
Copy !req
366. The Conqueror
Copy !req
