1. D-YFI@AniDBCopy !req
2. OF THECopy !req
3. Space Year 796, Imperial Year 487.Copy !req
4. The two primary forces within the galaxy are the autocratic Galactic Empire...Copy !req
5. and the Free Planets Alliance,
which is based on democracy...Copy !req
6. .. continue their decades long battle.Copy !req
7. Another player is the autonomous state,
Phezzan, which watches the war from afar.Copy !req
8. Planet PhezzanCopy !req
9. It is led by the
feudal lord, Adrian Rubinsky.Copy !req
10. The Imperial Fleet has
destroyed the 4th Fleet.Copy !req
11. They have also
attacked the 6th Fleet.Copy !req
12. Their current
situation is unknown.Copy !req
13. Probability of contact with the Alliance's 2nd Fleet is 87%.Copy !req
14. So they plan to defeat
each fleet individually?Copy !req
15. That blond brat...Copy !req
16. can he do it?Copy !req
17. All ships! Prepare
for close engagement.Copy !req
18. All ships, return fire! Fire!Copy !req
19. It's already too late.Copy !req
20. Stern turret here!
Come in, bridge! Orders?Copy !req
21. This is the Engine room!
Engine room here! Bridge!Copy !req
22. Please answer! Bridge!
Please come in!Copy !req
23. Commander!Copy !req
24. The Commander
has been injured.Copy !req
25. We need a medic
on the bridge.Copy !req
26. Find the damage
and repair it.Copy !req
27. Report later!Copy !req
28. Stern turret,
continue to fire at will!Copy !req
29. Has the engine
room been damaged?Copy !req
30. We were worried
about the bridge.Copy !req
31. There's no damage
in the engine room.Copy !req
32. Good.
We're functional here.Copy !req
33. Just keep your
mind on your job.Copy !req
34. Are there any
uninjured officers left?Copy !req
35. I won't give up.Copy !req
36. Aren't there any others?Copy !req
37. I looked around, but...Copy !req
38. Well...Copy !req
39. Surely not all of the
officers are incapacitated?Copy !req
40. Commodore Yang...Copy !req
41. you take command of the fleet...Copy !req
42. Me?Copy !req
43. You're the highest
ranking officer present...Copy !req
44. Now is your chance
to show your ability...Copy !req
45. It's a serious wound, but...Copy !req
46. if we treat him quickly,
we can save him.Copy !req
47. Alright, treat him immediately.Copy !req
48. You're being appraised, eh?Copy !req
49. I guess so.Copy !req
50. Open a channel
to the whole fleet.Copy !req
51. I am Commodore Yang, the staff
officer next in line for command.Copy !req
52. When the flagship Patoroklos was hit,
the Commander was seriously wounded.Copy !req
53. According to the Commander's orders, I am taking command of the fleet.Copy !req
54. Don't worry...
We will not be beaten!Copy !req
55. I'm talking big, aren't I?Copy !req
56. No. If you say you'll
do it, you'll do it.Copy !req
57. Maybe...Copy !req
58. Maybe?Copy !req
59. Until I give new orders, each ship will attack individually.Copy !req
60. That's all!Copy !req
61. How long will we
have to keep fighting?Copy !req
62. This is just one battle;
it won't decide the war.Copy !req
63. It will never end as
long as that fortress exists.Copy !req
64. Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
65. Iserlohn FortressCopy !req
66. The Galactic Empire's impregnable fortress.Copy !req
67. Wedged between the Free Planets Alliance and the Galactic Empire...Copy !req
68. in a huge zone where
navigation is impossible.Copy !req
69. There is only one route where navigation is possible; the Iserlohn Corridor.Copy !req
70. As a result, all attempts to
navigate this corridor have failed.Copy !req
71. Then, Iserlohn Fortress was constructed 30 years ago by the Galactic Empire.Copy !req
72. Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
73. Diameter 60 kilometers.Copy !req
74. Its exterior, a thick
layer of liquid metal.Copy !req
75. A huge, artificial heavenly body,
with a mass of 60 billion tons.Copy !req
76. Thor HammerCopy !req
77. And the fortress's greatest weapon is a huge cannon called the Thor Hammer.Copy !req
78. As long as this fortress exists, the
Alliance cannot reach the Galactic Empire.Copy !req
79. And so, the war has continued being
fought throughout the Iserlohn Corridor.Copy !req
80. The 1st, 2nd, and
3rd Battles of Tiamat...Copy !req
81. the battle in the sky
above Planet Legmitz...Copy !req
82. the 4th Battle of Tiamat...Copy !req
83. and now,
the Battle of Astate...Copy !req
84. The victor of this battle is clear, yet the enemy refuses to admit defeat.Copy !req
85. Basically, they're poor losers.Copy !req
86. Do they think they
can recover from this?Copy !req
87. Ah, well, whatever the situation,
we cannot ignore our own losses.Copy !req
88. Kircheis.Copy !req
89. Yes?Copy !req
90. Rearrange the lines of battle.Copy !req
91. Instruct the fleet to
take a spindle formation.Copy !req
92. You know why,
don't you?Copy !req
93. You intend to break through
the center, don't you?Copy !req
94. Yes...Copy !req
95. The enemy is taking
a spindle formation.Copy !req
96. They're going to try to
break through the center?Copy !req
97. Break through the center?Copy !req
98. Yes. That's exactly
what he would do.Copy !req
99. Well, how shall
I counter their attack?Copy !req
100. Fleet, advance!Copy !req
101. Rear Admiral Adalbert von FahrenheitCopy !req
102. It's a complete victory!
All ships, advance!Copy !req
103. Advance!Copy !req
104. Well, I asked for this.
The problem is...Copy !req
105. Will the enemy move
as I expect them to?Copy !req
106. If they don't move?Copy !req
107. I'll have to outthink
them to deceive them, eh?Copy !req
108. Enemy ships approaching!Copy !req
109. From the looks of the ship,
I think it's Wallenstein.Copy !req
110. Main guns, fire!
Target in range!Copy !req
111. Enemy ship approaching!
The Krunten!Copy !req
112. The enemy is determined.Copy !req
113. As we must be.Copy !req
114. Main guns, spread your fire!Copy !req
115. Enemy, retreating slowly.Copy !req
116. Enemy, retreating more rapidly.Copy !req
117. Well, it seems to be going well,
don't you think?Copy !req
118. The enemy is moving
as I predicted.Copy !req
119. They'll be crushed.Copy !req
120. Perhaps...Copy !req
121. The enemy is being
torn apart by our strategy.Copy !req
122. What?Copy !req
123. What's wrong?Copy !req
124. If they haven't been
split by our fleet, then...Copy !req
125. Impossible...Copy !req
126. Damn...Copy !req
127. Now!
Engines, full speed!Copy !req
128. The enemy has split
to the right and left.Copy !req
129. They are advancing
at high speed!Copy !req
130. Kircheis!Copy !req
131. He tricked us!Copy !req
132. By splitting into two groups, the enemy is planning to circle behind our forces!Copy !req
133. Our plan has
taken a nasty turn.Copy !req
134. To pull off this kind of mockery...Copy !req
135. it must be that man.Copy !req
136. Commodore Yang Wenli...Copy !req
137. The Alliance Fleet
is now behind the enemy.Copy !req
138. Alright. Let's set the
enemy's tail on fire.Copy !req
139. Huh! With a little effort
our fleet will win!Copy !req
140. That's unusual, isn't it?Copy !req
141. We can't expect them to
just let us win, can we?Copy !req
142. They are the enemy.Copy !req
143. Well, we won't lose either.Copy !req
144. Well, then,
how can they do it?Copy !req
145. High Admiral Lohengramm...Copy !req
146. What should we do?Copy !req
147. Shall we turn back and attack?Copy !req
148. This is serious!Copy !req
149. In that case, we have no choice but to advance, do we?Copy !req
150. That's right.Copy !req
151. Fleet, full speed ahead!Copy !req
152. Clockwise, to the enemy's rear.Copy !req
153. What? Advance to
the enemy's rear?Copy !req
154. That blond brat's insane.Copy !req
155. This ship will reverse
course and attack.Copy !req
156. Attack the enemy now!Copy !req
157. But in that case,
by disregarding orders...Copy !req
158. I don't care.Copy !req
159. Rear Admiral Erlache's
ship is disobeying orders.Copy !req
160. Fool.
Does he want to die?Copy !req
161. It serves him right.Copy !req
162. However...Copy !req
163. Yes. It's the first combat death of a high-ranking commander in our fleet.Copy !req
164. It will serve to
drive the order home.Copy !req
165. Yes.Copy !req
166. The enemy is
continuing to advance.Copy !req
167. It's him after all?Copy !req
168. A few hours later, it had
turned into a ring formation.Copy !req
169. It's the first time I've
seen a formation like this.Copy !req
170. I guess so.Copy !req
171. In short, it looks like two snakes, swallowing each other's tails.Copy !req
172. Eventually they'll just
eat each other up.Copy !req
173. Well, then, both snakes...Copy !req
174. Will end up being digested in each other's stomachs.Copy !req
175. What an awkward
situation this is.Copy !req
176. Isn't it just a battle
of attrition like this?Copy !req
177. Both sides can't help
but be destroyed.Copy !req
178. Ivan KonevCopy !req
179. To fall behind is to be destroyed.Copy !req
180. I don't want to be
the only one left.Copy !req
181. Soon the enemy will
begin to retreat.Copy !req
182. Shall we pursue?Copy !req
183. We'll quit.Copy !req
184. By allowing the enemy to catch their breath, we'll be able to escape, too.Copy !req
185. We've done the
best that we can.Copy !req
186. It's pointless to
continue this battle.Copy !req
187. Kircheis, what do you think?Copy !req
188. Won't there be
an opening, soon?Copy !req
189. You think so, too?Copy !req
190. More fighting will only add to
the casualties on both sides.Copy !req
191. Strategically, there's
no reason to continue.Copy !req
192. Are you frustrated?Copy !req
193. It's not that...Copy !req
194. Just a little more,
and we would have won.Copy !req
195. We were surrounded and outnumbered
2 to 1, and yet we destroyed two fleets.Copy !req
196. It would be greedy
to hope for more.Copy !req
197. I know. But at least it gives us hope for the future.Copy !req
198. However, in the end, will that
man be able to succeed?Copy !req
199. Commodore Yang Wenli?Copy !req
200. Yes. Please send a message
to that man in my name.Copy !req
201. What kind of message?Copy !req
202. A message has arrived
from the Imperial Fleet.Copy !req
203. Message?
Read it, please.Copy !req
204. Is it OK?Copy !req
205. Yes.Copy !req
206. Okay.
Let's see...Copy !req
207. "I pay my respects to the
noble commander's brave battle."Copy !req
208. "Health, until the
day we fight again."Copy !req
209. "Galactic Imperial Fleet High Admiral Reinhard von Lohengramm."Copy !req
210. And that's all.Copy !req
211. He referred to it
as a "brave battle" ?Copy !req
212. I'm grateful.Copy !req
213. What shall we do? Reply?Copy !req
214. No, it's all right.
Let it be.Copy !req
215. They're not expecting
a reply, are they?Copy !req
216. Right now we have other concerns.
Finish picking up the remaining soldiers.Copy !req
217. We must save as many
of them as possible.Copy !req
218. A lot of sacrifices, weren't there?
The other fleets...Copy !req
219. Yes.Copy !req
220. And this time, we lost
It Commander Lap of the 6th Fleet.Copy !req
221. Yeah.Copy !req
222. What a waste...Copy !req
223. After the encounter
called the Battle of Astate...Copy !req
224. the survivors of the
Imperial Fleet numbered 2,450,000...Copy !req
225. the Alliance, 4,060,000.Copy !req
226. However, compared to the
Imperial Fleet's 150,000 casualties...Copy !req
227. the Alliance lost ten times
that number - 1,500,000.Copy !req

received considerable damage.Copy !req
233. The details will
be announced later.Copy !req
234. The 6th Fleet...Copy !req
235. Yes, this is the Military

236. The 6th Fleet...
news of Jean Robert Lap.Copy !req
237. Right now, we are unable to give news to people outside the military and their relatives.Copy !req
238. I'm very sorry,
but your name...?Copy !req
239. Jessica Edwards.
I'm his fiancée.Copy !req
240. If you can just look into it,
I'd appreciate it.Copy !req
241. It's been confirmed.
Captain Jean Robert Lap...Copy !req
242. Captain?Copy !req
243. But he should be a Lt Commander.Copy !req
244. No, Lt Commander Jean Robert Lap died
heroically in battle in the Battle of Astate...Copy !req
245. and was made a Captain by double promotion.Copy !req
246. Died in battle...Copy !req
247. How are you, Annerose?Copy !req
248. Baroness...Copy !req
249. A gloomy face, hmn?Copy !req
250. Baroness Magdalena WestpfahlCopy !req
251. I've come with good news.Copy !req
252. Your golden haired brother...Copy !req
253. was victorious at Astate,
and will return in glory in a week.Copy !req
254. So... Reinhard...Copy !req
255. Finally he will become
"His Excellency the Fleet Admiral".Copy !req
256. And if he's promoted, that tall,
redhaired fellow, too...Copy !req
257. will be promoted to Admiral...Copy !req
258. So, drop the
gloomy face, okay?Copy !req
259. All right.Copy !req
260. Kircheis, after we stop
at Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
261. we'll return to the
capital planet Odin immediately.Copy !req
262. But we'll miss my
sister's birthday, won't we?Copy !req
263. It's just like him.Copy !req
264. He did splendidly without us.Copy !req
265. Yes. It's a great victory.Copy !req
266. But I wasn't worried.Copy !req
267. The military has announced
this battle was a great victory.Copy !req
268. Yes. Our Alliance forces weren't actually beaten. Maybe someone dies, too, eh?Copy !req
269. Graves without anyone's
remains in them.Copy !req
270. But a grave is a grave.Copy !req
271. What's the matter?Copy !req
272. Jessica.
What can I say?Copy !req
273. Please don't say anything.Copy !req
274. Jean was killed in battle.Copy !req
275. I don't hold
you responsible.Copy !req
276. But war is your job, isn't it?Copy !req
277. Jean Robert...Copy !req
278. Yes, it's true.
Our job is war.Copy !req
279. I see.Copy !req
280. The Empire won, but it
wasn't much of a victory.Copy !req
281. Which means, Boltik?Copy !req
282. It's true.Copy !req
283. The Alliance was beaten,
but it wasn't a wholesale slaughter.Copy !req
284. Phezzan must be satisfied.
At least that is a favorable result.Copy !req
285. But what about Reinhard von Lohengramm
and Commodore Yang Wenli?Copy !req
286. They bear watching.Copy !req
