Legend of the Galactic Heroes 1x21

Directed by

Schenkopp takes control of the rebel planets on behalf of the Yang fleet. The National Salvation Military Council sends commodore Bagdashu to Yang to pose as a traitor to the coup in order to kill him, but Schenkopp manages to take him away. Yang's 13th Fleet meets the 11th Fleet in the Doria star system; the 11th Fleet is destroyed because its commanders turn down Yang's proposal of surrender. After the battle, Bagdashu decides to join Yang because his victory is certain. Meanwhile, in Heinessen, a peaceful gathering against the coup is held in a stadium. When the army tries to scatter it, it turns into a riot, and thousands are killed, including Jessica Edwards.

1. D-YFI@AniDB

2. OF THE

3. Admiral Siegfried Kircheis led a detachment to the frontier sectors.

4. Kircheis Fleet Flagship Barbarossa

5. He crossed it 60 times, winning all battles.

6. He then entrusted the occupied sectors to civilian autonomy.

7. Phezzan Merchant Ship Beryoska

8. Heave to!

9. If you do not obey, we will attack.

10. Heave to!

11. Ship's Captain - Boris Konev

12. We are a Phezzan merchant ship.

13. There is only a party of pilgrims for the holy land on board.

14. Most are elderly, women, or children.

15. Please take a look around.

16. No, that won't be necessary.

17. Are you in need of any food or medical supplies?

18. Perhaps a little milk for the children...

19. Understood.

20. Please have some supplies sent over.

21. Sir.

22. Thank you very much.

23. Don't mention it. Have a safe journey.

24. Executive Officer Marinesk

25. Admiral Kircheis, is a nice person.

26. Unfortunately for him.

27. Huh? Why is that?

28. Nice people don't live long. Especially in times like these.

29. The enemy's 3rd wave has withdrawn.

30. I see. Clever, aren't they?

31. Unlike last time, they're acting as a coherent unit.

32. At last...

33. Sir?

34. Admiral Merkatz has finally come to the front line.

35. Since they outnumber us, we're at a disadvantage here.

36. Should we withdraw?

37. But can we afford to give even the appearance of victory to the rebel forces?

38. Consider the impact on the morale of both our forces and the enemy's.

39. Very well, we'll withdraw.

40. The Shang-Tau Sector isn't worth defending with so many lives.

41. We'll let Marquis Lohengramm recapture it.

42. That Reuental... He's dumped the job back on me, has he?

43. Admiral Merkatz was a famous soldier before you were born, Your Excellency.

44. It will make matters difficult if he's been given free rein.

45. Free rein...?

46. I don't think Prince Braunschweig is able to let Admiral Merkatz appear a hero.

47. As you say.

48. Our opponent isn't Admiral Merkatz, but Prince Braunschweig behind him.

49. So we should ignore the Shang-Tau Sector...

50. and concentrate on the capture of Geiersburg?

51. Yes, sir.

52. The enemy will probably prove reluctant to maintain Shang-Tau as well.

53. But Geiersburg is considered impregnable.

54. What should we do?

55. Perhaps this strategic withdrawal will give us a chance.

56. Maybe so.

57. Geiersburg Fortress

58. Admiral Merkatz, well done!

59. It's just what we'd expect from the brilliant Admiral Merkatz.

60. Splendid work.

61. A show of true strength, not like that upstart brat.

62. No, it's not so much that our forces won it, as the enemy gave it up.

63. We must be careful not to overestimate our capabilities.

64. I see. You're very cautious, Admiral.

65. I don't see Marquis Littenheim around.

66. Now that you mention it...

67. the Marquis's flagship, the Ostmark, doesn't seem to be here, either.

68. It looks like we're running short of ships.

69. Baron Flegel

70. Marquis Littenheim has gone to recapture the frontier systems.

71. What?

72. He's leading a fleet of 50,000 ships against that redheaded brat...

73. who's guarding the backwater systems.

74. As Commander, I should have been informed of this.

75. As the leader, I authorized it.

76. But in all military matters...

77. Admiral!

78. When Littenheim's here, he's a nuisance.

79. Since he wanted to go, I let him.

80. The citizens of the frontier are getting strange ideas about autonomy.

81. It is our noble duty to restrain that.

82. But enough of that. We're preparing a victory celebration.

83. Come, let's go.

84. I hope you'll forgive me. At my age, I find myself getting tired.

85. Please excuse me today.

86. 'Til then...

87. Isn't he rude, Uncle?

88. After all the preparations you made, too.

89. It doesn't matter. He's a dull man, it seems.

90. What's the matter, Commander?

91. Marquis Lohengramm's sent new orders.

92. Because of Marquis Littenheim's discord with Prince Braunschweig...

93. he is leading a fleet of 50,000 ships this way.

94. Vice Admiral Cornelius Lutz

95. Vice Admiral August Samuel Wahlen

96. We must engage and defeat it.

97. At last.

98. According to our current intelligence...

99. Marquis Littenheim is taking up position here, using Garmisch Fortress as his base...

100. located in the Kifeuser System.

101. The decisive battle will probably be there.

102. At that time I will lead a detachment of 800 ships from the main fleet.

103. What? Only 800 ships?

104. Littenheim Fleet Flagship Ostmark

105. Enemy detected. Approximately 40,000 ships.

106. Marquis Welhelmi von Littenheim

107. They've come?

108. If I had to fight with a brat, I'd have preferred to face the blonde one.

109. Why must I be content with his redheaded henchman?

110. Oh, well.

111. The enemy is forming a diamond formation.

112. Shall we match them?

113. Impudent mockery!

114. We'll overpower them by sheer numbers!

115. Petty tricks won't save them!

116. Fire!

117. Such long range?

118. Don't they realize the range?

119. Let's lure them in a little closer.

120. When they get within 6 million km, open fire.

121. Lutz Fleet Flagship Skirnir

122. 6 million kilometers!

123. All right, fire!

124. They've started.

125. Launch the main fleet.

126. He's started.

127. The enemy's left flank is no more than 20,000 ships.

128. Why haven't we simply annihilated them?

129. With respect, sir, even though our side is 50,000 strong...

130. our organization and formation speeds are different from the norm.

131. Are you implying we're an undisciplined mob?

132. No, but to use the numbers to our advantage...

133. New enemy sighted to port.

134. What?

135. Fewer than 1000 ships!

136. What concern is that? Their numbers are insignificant!

137. Now! Open fire!

138. Right! All ships, charge!

139. Admiral Kircheis is a formidable man.

140. With that tiny fleet, he makes a mockery of a huge fleet of 50,000.

141. He saw through the imperfections in the enemy's organization.

142. It's splendid.

143. Let's take advantage of their confusion!

144. All ships, charge!

145. Battleship Gossler destroyed!

146. Battleship Dortmund disabled! Lost communications...

147. What's that...?

148. That's Marquis Littenheim's flagship.

149. Don't let him get away!

150. Capture the man who started this war.

151. Who's that?

152. They're our supply ships.

153. They were stationed here for supplies in case of a prolonged battle.

154. Fire on them.

155. Sir?

156. I said, open fire!

157. But they're on our side!

158. If they're allies, why are they blocking my esca...

159. I mean, course change?

160. Whoever they are, fire!

161. I'm telling you to fire!

162. They're cute, aren't they?

163. Twins.

164. That's great. You're a father!

165. Yeah, but I won't really feel like a father until I hold them myself.

166. I really want to get home soon.

167. Energy wave closing!

168. The enemy?

169. No, it's our allies!

170. Lt. Konrad Linser

171. Hey, is anyone there?

172. Hey!

173. Yes, sir.

174. You're just a boy!

175. What are you doing in a place like this?

176. I'm a student.

177. I was en route to Garmisch Fortress for assignment as a cabin boy.

178. I see. How old are you?

179. I'm 13... in 5 days.

180. It may be the end of the world today.

181. Boy, hand me that...

182. Konrad von Moder

183. Please don't call me "boy."

184. My name is Konrad von Moder.

185. Well, that's a coincidence. I'm a Konrad, too.

186. Konrad Linser.

187. What'll we do? The enemy's coming.

188. Enemy?

189. Who's the enemy?

190. The bastards who did this to us are my enemy!

191. Garmisch Fortress

192. Your Excellency.

193. A crewman we rescued from the transport ship is asking for an audience.

194. With me?

195. Yes, sir. He claims he can be of use to you.

196. I interviewed him. He seems sincere.

197. I'll see him.

198. Yes, sir.

199. I'm Lt. Konrad Linser.

200. I regret I'm unable to salute with my right arm.

201. You say you can be of use to me?

202. I'm a witness to the fact that Marquis Littenheim killed his allies to save himself.

203. Indeed.

204. This arm is proof, too.

205. If I show this to the men in the fortress, everybody's opinions would change, too.

206. You've lost your loyalty to Marquis Littenheim?

207. Loyalty...? A beautiful word.

208. But it's abused whenever it becomes convenient.

209. I think this civil war may be a good opportunity.

210. Now millions can witness that some types of leaders...

211. have no right to the loyalty of their subordinates.

212. I understand.

213. Very well, I ask for your cooperation.

214. I want you to appeal to Garmisch Fortress to surrender.

215. Very well, sir.

216. But that may not even be necessary...

217. I'm Commander Laudisch. I want to see Marquis Littenheim!

218. Not with those filthy rags!

219. Filthy!

220. This was my subordinate, who fought for Marquis Littenheim...

221. who died so that Marquis Littenheim could escape!

222. What're you doing here, you insolent fool?

223. This is Marquis Littenheim, the man you threw your life away for!

224. Reward him for his loyalty!

225. Kill him!

226. Kill the bastard!

227. An explosion.

228. That's near the command center.

229. We mustn't miss this opportunity.

230. Have them send out the landing ships at once to occupy the fortress.

231. Sir!

232. And so, Garmisch Fortress surrendered.

233. The nobles' Allied Forces lost its 2nd in command, and a third of its military strength.

234. Cowardly nobles, you have blundered badly.

235. You should abandon your false, baseless pride and surrender.

236. It's the only way to save your lives.

237. I will not only allow you to live, I will even leave you a measure of your fortunes.

238. The other day, Marquis Littenheim died a pitiful death, suitable to his cowardly nature.

239. If you don't want the same fate, it should be plain what you have to do.

240. How dare that brat speak to us like that!

241. Has he forgotten he lost the Shang-Tau System?

242. Yeah!

243. I'm thinking of a suitable reward for the man who catches that brat!

244. Yeah!

245. Your Excellency, the enemy is approaching.

246. What?

247. They're parading themselves just out of range of our main guns.

248. Are they planning to starve us out?

249. Mittermeyer Fleet Flagship Beiowolf

250. That's the fleet of the "Gale Wolf," who defeated Admiral Staaden.

251. Those damn commoners are really full of themselves.

252. He's asking to be beaten.

253. Admiral Merkatz! Just give the orders!

254. Admiral Merkatz, let's make them dance again like at Shang-Tau.

255. Admiral Merkatz!

256. We mustn't! You think the enemy is playing kids' games? There's method in the madness.

257. We must not launch.

258. I can't keep quiet while that brat taunts us.

259. Exactly!

260. It's beneath the dignity of nobles of good breeding to just sit here.

261. Absolutely!

262. How about it, then? Then, shall we go out ourselves?

263. Just what I'd hoped for.

264. If you're going, Flegel, I'll gladly go along.

265. Excuse me, Your Excellency.

266. What is it, Lieutenant Commander?

267. Baron Flegel and some of the others have launched an attack.

268. What?

269. The bastard's certainly quick to run away.

270. Is that what the "gale" in "Gale Wolf" means?

271. What trap? There's nothing to it.

272. Admiral Merkatz's caution is far too excessive.

273. Why did you launch without my permission?

274. Didn't I strictly forbid it?

275. You'll all be courtmartialed for disobeying orders!

276. Uncle, please say something!

277. We're not afraid of death!

278. A glorious death, fighting with the enemy, is what we hope for!

279. But to be punished by a commander who has neither pride nor courage...

280. it's insufferable agony!

281. I'd rather kill myself on the spot!

282. Baron Flegel speaks for all of us!

283. If the Baron is so bravely prepared to die, we mustn't let him die alone!

284. Then let all of us here kill ourselves...

285. We'll show the world the pride of the Imperial nobles!

286. Yeah!

287. Admiral, isn't it sufficient that they won?

288. Morale is a priceless thing.

289. Gentlemen, your courage has shown tens of thousands the true spirit of Imperial nobility.

290. You have dealt a crushing blow of righteousness to the conceited commoners!

291. This is conduct which deserves to be rewarded.

292. There is nothing for us to fear!

293. We will be victorious!

294. And by winning, we will show them we have righteousness on our side.

295. Long live the Empire!

296. Long live the Empire!

297. What's that?

298. The enemy has returned.

299. They're bombarding us with long range missiles.

300. What?

301. Uncle, please let us handle it again.

302. No, I'm going, too.

303. Launch the whole fleet!

304. This time, we won't let them escape.

305. We'll wipe them out!

306. Yeah!

307. I will command. The Admiral will defend the fortress while we're gone.

308. So, let's go!

309. The idiotic sons of nobles...

310. they could have lived forever if they'd stayed in their hole.

311. Did they come out to become space dust?

312. Your Excellency, we've confirmed Prince Braunschweig's flagship, the Berlin.

313. Oh, he's coming out himself?

314. It seems he didn't notice that our previous flight was a sham.

315. If Prince Braunschweig's come out with them...

316. let's be sure to appear defeated as obvious as possible.

317. Sir!

318. It's so depressing that these morons couldn't see through such a simple trap.

319. It's not that I was expecting Yang Wenli...

320. but I'd prefer to fight a more worthy opponent.

321. Admiral Lohengramm probably feels the same way.

322. Braunschweig Fleet Flagship Berlin

323. The enemy is losing heart!

324. Maximum bombardment!

325. Look at that disgraceful behavior!

326. Once they get in the habit of running away, they don't even think it's shameful anymore.

327. Let's bury the bastards with one blow!

328. Let's capture the blonde brat, and march him to the guillotine!

329. This is too easy...

330. Don't follow too closely. It may be a trap.

331. A trap...?

332. Is it possible?

333. All ships, reduce speed!

334. Reform the battle lines.

335. No, you have to keep following.

336. Impudent bastard!

337. I don't care! Full speed ahead!

338. Mittermeyer's acting is superb, isn't it?

339. Any minute now...

340. Yes.

341. Inform all forces...

342. Turn to attack!

343. Don't let a single ship return to Geiersburg!

344. It's about time!

345. All ships, full speed!

346. Counterattack!

347. What the...?

348. Do you see now, fools?

349. We'll show you how to fight.

350. It's a trap after all! Retreat!

351. Don't wait for the others, retreat.

352. But, Admiral...

353. Don't you understand?

354. We've been lured into the middle of an enemy trap.

355. If we delay, the trap will close on us from all sides!

356. Hey, don't flinch!

357. This is the enemy's death throes!

358. Captain Leopold Schuhmacher

359. Your Excellency, there are new enemy units on all sides.

360. What?

361. Please withdraw.

362. The ranks are growing thin; we're at a disadvantage.

363. We'll be picked off one by one.

364. Damn you... you brat!

365. All right. Send out the Valkyries!

366. Let's secure our control of the battlefield.

367. Mecklinger Fleet Flagship Kvasir

368. Never mind the advancing enemy units.

369. Don't cut off their path of escape or they'll resort to a last ditch counterattack

370. Just make sure to destroy each and every enemy in firing range.

371. There's no way for them to escape.

372. Did we get away?

373. Not yet.

374. Don't reduce speed yet.

375. Another enemy unit detected to port.

376. Just as I expected.

377. Never mind.

378. Concentrate on breaking through straight ahead.

379. The enemy won't attack us from the front.

380. Yes, sir.

381. Just as I'd expect of Marquis Lohengramm.

382. Kesler Fleet Flagship Forseti

383. That's the chief villain of the nobles who've exploited the people...

384. Prince Braunschweig!

385. I don't care if he's dead or alive... Don't let him escape!

386. Black Lancers Fleet Flagship Koenigs Tiger

387. His Excellency, the Fleet Admiral has announced...

388. the man who gets Prince Braunschweig, even an enlisted man, will be made a commander!

389. Seize the opportunity!

390. Indeed. The enemy is deploying its forces along our expected escape route.

391. If we retrace our path back to the fortress, the future is clear.

392. All right! Turn hard to port!

393. If we deviate from the customary pilot routes, we'll lose our navigation beacons.

394. It doesn't matter. I'm prepared to take that risk.

395. Your Excellency! Admiral Fahrenheit's fleet is deviating from the navigation route.

396. What's he thinking of?

397. He may have a plan.

398. Don't you think we should follow?

399. What?

400. The Admiral is an expert at fleet battles.

401. That's true. Very well, make it so.

402. Yes, sir.

403. Can we contact my uncle?

404. Our forces are in disarray. We can't reach them.

405. Can't we contact Geiersburg?

406. No, sir!

407. Sir, more enemy units... left and right!

408. Muller Fleet Flagship Lubeck

409. The enemy isn't really a fleet anymore.

410. But there's still a great catch left for us!

411. Reuental Fleet Flagship Tristan

412. Don't let Braunschweig get away!

413. Even our retreat in the Shang-Tau System is integrated into our strategy.

414. It's just like Marquis Lohengramm...

415. and Oberstein.

416. We've destroyed or captured 70% of the enemy...

417. but we haven't captured Prince Braunschweig yet.

418. It seems the Prince himself was not near the front.

419. He was probably posing ostentatiously at the rear.

420. Will the bastard be saved by his own arrogance?

421. Rear gun turrets disabled!

422. What's that...?

423. The enemy?

424. No, those are allies!

425. All ships, charge!

426. Rescue Prince Braunschweig!

427. All ships, reduce speed!

428. Pull back!

429. Keep our losses minimal.

430. Damn, we were all too eager for victory!

431. What a disgraceful sight! Don't let the formation break down!

432. Retreat while reorganizing in a spherical formation!

433. Retreat in formation! Convert to close range gunfire!

434. Launch the Valkyries!

435. Just like him.

436. Reorganized the confusion in a few moments.

437. What of Prince Braunschweig?

438. He left for the rear.

439. I see. Well then, let's withdraw before the enemy's main fleet gets here.

440. Merkatz isn't old for no reason.

441. The years haven't slowed him down at all.

442. Prince Braunschweig has escaped to Geiersburg.

443. However, the enemy doesn't have much military strength left.

444. The rest is just a matter of time.

445. A matter of time...?

446. Merkatz!

447. Why didn't you come to the rescue sooner?

448. Don't be so mad. Prince Braunschweig is not a well man.

449. "Not well" ?

450. Mentally.

451. It's an illness bred from the 500 year tradition of privilege for the nobility.

452. It's the truth.

453. In a way, perhaps, the Prince is a victim, too.

454. If only he'd lived 100 years ago...

455. He's an unlucky man.

456. Indeed.

457. Prince Braunschweig is unlucky.

458. But since our future is in his hands...

459. aren't we unlucky, too?

460. By now, the outcome of the Lippstadt War was already decided.

461. But the tragedy begins here.

462. Courage and Loyalty
