1. D-YFI@AniDBCopy !req
2. In preparation for a siege of Geiersburg,
the hard pressed Lippstadt Alliance...Copy !req
3. OF THECopy !req
4. intensified the exploitation
of the colonies in their control.Copy !req
5. But the populist
forces wisely perceived...Copy !req
6. that the yoke of rule by the nobility might slacken after the civil war.Copy !req
7. Westerland was one of
Prince Braunschweig's territories...Copy !req
8. but even there, the tide
of defiance was rising.Copy !req
9. Baron Scheidt, the Prince's nephew, tried to
suppress the resistance with military force.Copy !req
10. That brought on large scale riots, and
the Baron was killed by his own subjects.Copy !req
11. Prince Braunschweig was
enraged at the news.Copy !req
12. A citizens revolt?
They dared to kill my nephew?Copy !req
13. Those ungrateful bastards
living in my territory!Copy !req
14. They'll pay a heavy price
for such ingratitude!Copy !req
15. Launch a nuclear attack on Westerland!
Don't let a single soul survive!Copy !req
16. Your Excellency, your
anger is understandable...Copy !req
17. but using thermonuclear weapons
on a planet has been taboo...Copy !req
18. since the time of the "13 Day War" that
nearly exterminated the human race.Copy !req
19. Besides, isn't Westerland
your own territory?Copy !req
20. Killing all the inhabitants
is far too harsh!Copy !req
21. Isn't it better just
to punish the ringleaders...Copy !req
22. Silence!Copy !req
23. Westerland is my territory!Copy !req
24. I have the right to do
anything I want to my planet!Copy !req
25. Now the Goldenbaum
Dynasty is finished.Copy !req
26. How can it stand, when it
cuts off its own limbs?Copy !req
27. What?Copy !req
28. Ansbach said that?Copy !req
29. Yes, sir. He said, "The
Goldenbaum Dynasty is finished."Copy !req
30. Jakob HauptmannCopy !req
31. Those words are treason.Copy !req
32. Since he's your chief retainer,
Uncle, he should be put to death!Copy !req
33. Even Ansbach...Copy !req
34. Very well.
Arrest Ansbach.Copy !req
35. Throw him in prison until
I investigate further!Copy !req
36. By the way, Admiral Merkatz
is requesting an audience.Copy !req
37. Merkatz...?Copy !req
38. He wants to speak to
you about Westerland.Copy !req
39. I won't see him.
I'm too upset.Copy !req
40. I have a report from
our agent at Geiersburg.Copy !req
41. I see.Copy !req
42. So Merkatz is becoming
a thorn in their side.Copy !req
43. Yes. And Braunschweig's chief advisor,
Commodore Ansbach, is cut off.Copy !req
44. Yes, that much
is good news.Copy !req
45. We mustn't waste any time
in dealing with Westerland.Copy !req
46. We'll have to dispatch a fleet
immediately to prevent the attack.Copy !req
47. One moment, Your Excellency.Copy !req
48. We should allow that insane Braunschweig
to carry out his brutal attack.Copy !req
49. What?Copy !req
50. That way, by recording the act, we
demonstrate the brutality of the high nobles.Copy !req
51. No doubt the citizens and common soldiers
under their control will then abandon them.Copy !req
52. That will help our cause more
than preventing the attack.Copy !req
53. You want me to
leave Westerland to die?Copy !req
54. If the nobles win this civil war, that kind
of cruelty will be repeated many times.Copy !req
55. By showing the whole Empire
their true colors now...Copy !req
56. it will demonstrate they have
no right to rule the universe.Copy !req
57. But isn't the outcome
already clear for all to see?Copy !req
58. It is, but we don't have a definite
strategy to seize Geiersburg either.Copy !req
59. If the enemy intends
to wait out the siege...Copy !req
60. since our supply lines are long,
we'll eventually be at a disadvantage.Copy !req
61. I know that.Copy !req
62. That's why we're working to cause
disruption inside the fortress.Copy !req
63. They're giving
us an opportunity.Copy !req
64. But there are 2 million
people on Westerland!Copy !req
65. Including women and children!Copy !req
66. Those...Copy !req
67. Your Excellency,
look at it logically.Copy !req
68. If you're worried
about 2 million lives...Copy !req
69. there will surely be far more
casualties if this civil war drags on.Copy !req
70. Please take that
into consideration.Copy !req
71. Human lives can't be
calculated like that!Copy !req
72. Your Excellency, you
must become ruler first.Copy !req
73. For the sake of the greater
good in the future...Copy !req
74. there are times when rulers must
accept the necessity of sacrifice.Copy !req
75. That's the fundamental
logic of Machiavelli.Copy !req
76. Even so, the
principles are true.Copy !req
77. Your Excellency,
you must decide now.Copy !req
78. Weigh the good of the 25 billion
citizens of the Empire.Copy !req
79. Your Excellency...Copy !req
80. When will the attack
on Westerland begin?Copy !req
81. In about 6 hours.Copy !req
82. Put the fleet on alert
for immediate dispatch.Copy !req
83. Your Excellency...Copy !req
84. Don't misunderstand.Copy !req
85. I'll wait to decide until the last
possible moment. Leave me until I call.Copy !req
86. Kircheis...Copy !req
87. when you're not here,
I'm afraid you'll never forgive me.Copy !req
88. Can this be
the path we chose?Copy !req
89. Send out a reconnaissance
probe to Planet Westerland.Copy !req
90. Secretly.Copy !req
91. Yes, sir.Copy !req
92. Make sure it arrives
within 4 hours, all right?Copy !req
93. Yes, sir.
4 hours.Copy !req
94. Planet WesterlandCopy !req
95. I'm glad we
drove the nobles out.Copy !req
96. But now what
will we do?Copy !req
97. I've heard that Marquis Lohengramm
is the people's friend.Copy !req
98. Let's ask him
to protect us.Copy !req
99. Yeah. Right.Copy !req
100. Mama, what's that?Copy !req
101. Hey... that's...Copy !req
102. What's this...?Copy !req
103. What does this mean?Copy !req
104. It seems the enemy attack
was earlier than we expected.Copy !req
105. I'm sorry to report that the fleet
you dispatched was not in time.Copy !req
106. What?Copy !req
107. Then where is this
image coming from?Copy !req
108. It's from the reconnaissance probe
I sent out ahead as a precaution.Copy !req
109. Oberstein...!Copy !req
110. We will beam these images
throughout the Empire.Copy !req
111. Even a child will understand that
righteousness is on our side.Copy !req
112. The nobles have
hung themselves.Copy !req
113. What's the matter,
Your Excellency?Copy !req
114. It's true I didn't give an
explicit order to intercept...Copy !req
115. However...Copy !req
116. Your Excellency did send a
fleet to intercept the attack.Copy !req
117. However, the enemy
attack was too swift.Copy !req
118. This is the result.Copy !req
119. Damn you,
you planned it.Copy !req
120. There's no sense complaining
about the deed after it is done.Copy !req
121. We must make the most
of the current situation.Copy !req
122. We must do justice to the
2 million lives sacrificed.Copy !req
123. "The conqueror can't succeed
without dirtying his hands?"Copy !req
124. Very well.Copy !req
125. We'll do as you say.Copy !req
126. I'm sorry to have taken
so long, Admiral Kircheis.Copy !req
127. Welcome back,
Rear Admiral Steinmetz.Copy !req
128. We've pacified 17 sectors
on the frontier.Copy !req
129. They are yours.Copy !req
130. By taking care of this for us, and with
Marquis Lohengramm's blessing...Copy !req
131. we'll prepare your
appointment to Vice Admiral.Copy !req
132. I am honored, but...Copy !req
133. there are many unsettling rumors
spreading about Marquis Lohengramm.Copy !req
134. Rumors...?Copy !req
135. This way, Admiral.Copy !req
136. What's that?Copy !req
137. The nobles' Allied Forces
massacred Westerland...Copy !req
138. and Lord Reinhard... Marquis Lohengramm
permitted it for the sake of propaganda?Copy !req
139. Is that what
they're saying?Copy !req
140. For his political campaign.Copy !req
141. But the official explanation is the
fleet sent to intercept wasn't in time.Copy !req
142. But the reconnaissance probe that
beamed back those images was in time.Copy !req
143. Isn't it strange that those
images were collected?Copy !req
144. There are persistent rumors.Copy !req
145. Admiral, in that case...Copy !req
146. I will personally confirm the truth
when I next see Marquis Lohengramm.Copy !req
147. Until then, let's prevent this rumor
from spreading further, shall we?Copy !req
148. Yes. Very good, sir.Copy !req
149. Well, then...Copy !req
150. What will you do when you
learn the truth, Siegfried?Copy !req
151. I hope the rumors
are false.Copy !req
152. But what if it's true?Copy !req
153. When your own justice, and Lord
Reinhard's justice are no longer the same...Copy !req
154. what will you do then,
Siegfried Kircheis?Copy !req
155. The massacre on planet Westerland...Copy !req
156. Planet OdinCopy !req
157. caused a big sensation
throughout the empire.Copy !req
158. It provided a clear view of
Prince Braunschweig's brutality.Copy !req
159. The expectations for Marquis
Lohengramm rose accordingly.Copy !req
160. The young hero of the Imperial Fleet is now becoming the hero of the Imperial citizens.Copy !req
161. Now, as each planet under the control of the
nobles' forces rebelled almost in unison...Copy !req
162. Geiersburg Fortress became
completely isolated.Copy !req
163. In Geiersburg, there was open
sabotage and defiance among the troops.Copy !req
164. There were many who deserted
and joined Reinhard's Fleet.Copy !req
165. There were many from the
nobles' side who surrendered.Copy !req
166. Many other nobles killed
themselves in despair.Copy !req
167. He's a worthless person.Copy !req
168. At the start of the war, there were
several thousand nobles in this fortress.Copy !req
169. Even now, he's still merry, as if we'd all
just transferred from Neue Sanssouci.Copy !req
170. I agree completely.Copy !req
171. All this false gaiety is just an
attempt to avoid facing reality.Copy !req
172. It's pathetic, isn't it?Copy !req
173. Soon the time will
come for us to choose.Copy !req
174. Choose...?Copy !req
175. To die fighting...Copy !req
176. or to take our own lives...Copy !req
177. or perhaps,
to flee to Phezzan...Copy !req
178. or else, to surrender.Copy !req
179. But if we try to surrender at
this late time, will that brat...Copy !req
180. No, I mean, Marquis
Lohengramm, forgive us?Copy !req
181. What's done is done,
I'm afraid.Copy !req
182. That's true. Empty handed,
we have little chance.Copy !req
183. But what if we
offered a present...?Copy !req
184. Present?Copy !req
185. Perhaps if we offered
Prince Braunschweig's head.Copy !req
186. Once, long ago, when a king
defeated a sworn enemy...Copy !req
187. they say he celebrated by
making cups of their skulls.Copy !req
188. That's just what we'll
do to that brat!Copy !req
189. That's a great idea!Copy !req
190. Listen, if we can take that
brat's head, all will be well!Copy !req
191. With that, history will change,
and past defeats be washed clean!Copy !req
192. Shall we not challenge
him to one final battle?Copy !req
193. There is no other way!Copy !req
194. Let's do it!Copy !req
195. That's it! Yeah!
Right! Let's!Copy !req
196. Uncle?Copy !req
197. Yes.Copy !req
198. All right!Copy !req
199. Let's use all the remaining troops,
and mount a final, decisive attack!Copy !req
200. You're mad!Copy !req
201. Clearly, the best policy is to
take advantage of this fortress!Copy !req
202. We must prolong the fight and wait
for the enemy to exhaust himself.Copy !req
203. What is the point of
launching an attack now?Copy !req
204. Won't it only hasten
our ultimate defeat?Copy !req
205. To begin with, we are comrades,
not master and slaves.Copy !req
206. As a military professional...Copy !req
207. I advise you not to
make a bad situation worse.Copy !req
208. What you think of as strategy,
is only wishful thinking!Copy !req
209. Prince Braunschweig, aren't you
mistaking one for the other?Copy !req
210. I have no use for cowards
who are afraid of death!Copy !req
211. I will return to the Empire
with brave, loyal men!Copy !req
212. Sir!Copy !req
213. Admiral Merkatz...Copy !req
214. Are you going to launch,
too, Your Excellency?Copy !req
215. Yes.Copy !req
216. Why? Surely you see
it's an undesirable battle.Copy !req
217. I have served the Goldenbaum Dynasty
as a soldier for over 40 years.Copy !req
218. If it's to be destroyed, then my
final duty is to share in its fate.Copy !req
219. However, I'm only
a worthless old man.Copy !req
220. Your Excellency...Copy !req
221. Admiral Fahrenheit,
you're still young.Copy !req
222. You shouldn't sacrifice yourself
for a dying dynasty.Copy !req
223. Live.Copy !req
224. And as long as you live,
carry out your duty.Copy !req
225. Admiral Merkatz...Copy !req
226. Farewell.
I doubt we'll meet again.Copy !req
227. Charge! We'll fight to the death!Copy !req
228. They've finally
come out, it seems.Copy !req
229. As we predicted.Copy !req
230. Mecklinger, Kesler and Mueller,
your 3 fleets will intercept.Copy !req
231. Your Excellency, there's no
chance to seize the advantage!Copy !req
232. Don't shrink! I don't
care what the sacrifice!Copy !req
233. Unexpectedly stubborn,
aren't they?Copy !req
234. Now they've become
cornered rats.Copy !req
235. Yes...Copy !req
236. This makes the enemy's
5th charge, doesn't it?Copy !req
237. Yes, sir.Copy !req
238. It'll be soon, then.Copy !req
239. The enemy has begun
another offensive.Copy !req
240. All right. Have the 3 forward
fleets push them back together.Copy !req
241. It looks like the enemy's
offensive has reached its limit.Copy !req
242. Now!Copy !req
243. All ships, charge!
Maximum battle speed!Copy !req
244. All fleets, follow me!Copy !req
245. Shall we join the pursuit, too?Copy !req
246. Regroup the fleet.
Protect the flank.Copy !req
247. Yes, sir.Copy !req
248. It seems Marquis Lohengramm will
be able to shine at the front lines after all.Copy !req
249. It's begun.Copy !req
250. We're men who've decided to
ally with Marquis Lohengramm!Copy !req
251. You men guarding
the main gun room...Copy !req
252. you saw Westerland,
didn't you?Copy !req
253. Think carefully about who you
should be pointing your weapons at!Copy !req
254. Don't shoot!
We'll cooperate!Copy !req
255. Understood.Copy !req
256. Our agents in the fortress have
occupied the main gun room.Copy !req
257. Fine. Send out boarding parties.
Have them seize the fortress.Copy !req
258. Yes, sir.Copy !req
259. Don't let
Braunschweig get away!Copy !req
260. We can no longer
return to Geiersburg.Copy !req
261. Call out the blonde brat!Copy !req
262. Open a comm line!Copy !req
263. What do you
plan to do?Copy !req
264. Challenge him to
ship to ship combat!Copy !req
265. Single combat?Copy !req
266. That's right!Copy !req
267. Our inferiority in
strength is irreversible!Copy !req
268. But if we could just get him,
at least, it would be worth it!Copy !req
269. It's no use.Copy !req
270. They're not accepting any messages
except unconditional surrender!Copy !req
271. That... Coward...Copy !req
272. If that's the way he wants it,
he can have it!Copy !req
273. Then try the Gale Wolf,
or Odd Eyes Reuental...Copy !req
274. or Bittenfeld and
his Black Lancers...Copy !req
275. Maybe we can incite one of them!Copy !req
276. Enough already!Copy !req
277. What's the point
of fighting with them?Copy !req
278. Let's try to escape, and be glad
if we can just stay alive!Copy !req
279. Shut up!Copy !req
280. I don't have
any love for life!Copy !req
281. I'll fall gloriously in mortal
combat with a famous enemy!Copy !req
282. What a magnificent end for
the great Imperial nobles!Copy !req
283. A magnificent end, is it?Copy !req
284. It's because of twisted thinking
like that that we will lose the war!Copy !req
285. I've had enough of it!Copy !req
286. Do it by yourself!Copy !req
287. There's no reason for us to die
for your self-aggrandizement!Copy !req
288. What's that?Copy !req
289. You bastard...!Copy !req
290. Long... live... the Empire...Copy !req
291. Captain, what do we do now?Copy !req
292. It's too late.
I'm fed up with war.Copy !req
293. We could escape to Phezzan,
even if it means plowing a field.Copy !req
294. Do you mind if
we go with you?Copy !req
295. Gentlemen, you've saved my life.Copy !req
296. Of course I don't mind.Copy !req
297. But please offer a chance
to those who wish to stay.Copy !req
298. Each man should
decide what to do.Copy !req
299. Please stop!Copy !req
300. Please don't throw
your life away!Copy !req
301. Lt. Commander Schneider...Copy !req
302. I hope you'll forgive me.Copy !req
303. I came in a little while ago and
removed the gun's energy pack.Copy !req
304. So you were prepared
for this eventuality.Copy !req
305. But when did you
find time to remove it?Copy !req
306. How could
I not notice you?Copy !req
307. You tricked me!Copy !req
308. Is this your way of
telling me to live on?Copy !req
309. Yes, sir.Copy !req
310. But as a soldier,
I know only shame.Copy !req
311. I think I'm too proud to surrender to
Marquis Lohengramm at this point.Copy !req
312. Marquis Lohengramm does not
control all of space.Copy !req
313. In this vast galaxy there are places even
Marquis Lohengramm's control doesn't reach.Copy !req
314. Please consider retreating there,
to fight another day.Copy !req
315. Flee the Empire?Copy !req
316. Yes, Your Excellency.Copy !req
317. Since you say "fight another day," I assume
the exile you advise is not Phezzan?Copy !req
318. Yes, sir.Copy !req
319. The Free Planets Alliance?Copy !req
320. But I've fought them for over 40 years,
calling them the Rebel Fleet.Copy !req
321. Do you think
they'd take me in?Copy !req
322. Let's rely on
Admiral Yang Wenli.Copy !req
323. I hear he's an eccentric,
but generous person.Copy !req
324. Yang Wenli?Copy !req
325. We have nothing to lose.Copy !req
326. If the time comes,
I'll go with you.Copy !req
327. Don't be silly.
You're still young.Copy !req
328. You're not even 30 yet.Copy !req
329. With your talent, Marquis Lohengramm
is sure to have use for you.Copy !req
330. It's not that
I hate Marquis Lohengramm...Copy !req
331. but I've decided that you alone will
be my commander, Your Excellency.Copy !req
332. Please, Your Excellency.Copy !req
333. Do as I suggest.Copy !req
334. Very well.Copy !req
335. Let's try trusting
in Yang Wenli.Copy !req
336. Anyone...Copy !req
337. Is anyone here?Copy !req
338. Your Excellency.Copy !req
339. It's me, Ansbach.Copy !req
340. Oh, Ansbach...Copy !req
341. you're out
here like this!Copy !req
342. Since you weren't in your cell,
I had assumed you escaped.Copy !req
343. My subordinates
let me out.Copy !req
344. Yes, that's fine.Copy !req
345. Since things have gone this way,
there's nothing else to do.Copy !req
346. Let's prepare
to make peace.Copy !req
347. Peace, you say?Copy !req
348. Yes.Copy !req
349. Acknowledge the
brat's authority.Copy !req
350. The nobles who began with me
will support the brat completely.Copy !req
351. That's it!
Elisabeth!Copy !req
352. I'll give him my daughter's hand.Copy !req
353. That way the brat will
become a grandson-in-law...Copy !req
354. of the late
Kaiser Friedrich IV.Copy !req
355. Then he can assume the position of
Kaiser without accusations of usurpation.Copy !req
356. That's not a bad deal.Copy !req
357. It's useless.Copy !req
358. Marquis Lohengramm has no need of
the support of you and your nobles.Copy !req
359. Then...Copy !req
360. are you saying he'll have
me killed, no matter what?Copy !req
361. I'm the head of a distinguished family,
and respected by the Imperial nobles.Copy !req
362. Yes, sir.
But don't you understand?Copy !req
363. That's exactly why Marquis
Lohengramm can't allow you to live.Copy !req
364. He's made Westerland a symbol
of the brutality of the nobles.Copy !req
365. He's pledged to clear away the
Imperial nobles who exploit the people.Copy !req
366. That's a pledge he'll keep.Copy !req
367. I understand.Copy !req
368. I will die.Copy !req
369. But allowing that brat to take
the throne is unforgivable!Copy !req
370. Ansbach, whatever happens, don't
let that bastard usurp the throne!Copy !req
371. If you'll just promise me that,
I can die without regret!Copy !req
372. I understand.Copy !req
373. I swear to you that I will
send Marquis Lohengramm to Hell.Copy !req
374. Wait for him in Valhalla.Copy !req
375. You will?Copy !req
376. That's good.Copy !req
377. By the way...Copy !req
378. I want to die as
easily as possible.Copy !req
379. A drink of poison
would be good, I think.Copy !req
380. In fact,
I've already prepared it.Copy !req
381. Ansbach. After all...Copy !req
382. If I offer you all my territories and
wealth, can't you just save my life?Copy !req
383. I... I...Copy !req
384. I... I don't want to die...Copy !req
385. What are you doing?Copy !req
386. Insolent peasants!Copy !req
387. Please, as head of a distinguished
family, die a manly death.Copy !req
388. Stop!
Please stop!Copy !req
389. Take the Prince's
body to the infirmary.Copy !req
390. Yes, sir.
But he's already dead.Copy !req
391. Therefore, do as you're told.Copy !req
392. Now the Goldenbaum Dynasty
has truly ended.Copy !req
393. But it hasn't yet been decided that
a Lohengramm Dynasty will follow.Copy !req
394. Secure the works of art
that the nobles looted.Copy !req
395. We mustn't let
them be plundered.Copy !req
396. Yes, sir!Copy !req
397. I didn't expect the high
