2. LEGEND
Copy !req
3. OF THE
Copy !req
4. GALACTIC HEROES
Copy !req
5. In every age,
Copy !req
6. in every place,
Copy !req
7. the deeds of men
Copy !req
8. remain the same.
Copy !req
9. Universal Century 799,
Imperial Year 490, April 6th.
Copy !req
10. Having received intelligence that
the Imperial fleets were dispersing...
Copy !req
11. Yang Wenli took his fleet
to the Gandharva Starzone.
Copy !req
12. What a frightening man.
Copy !req
13. Admiral...
Copy !req
14. Prince Lohengramm, along with
every one of his admirals...
Copy !req
15. have left the
Gandharva system, it seems.
Copy !req
16. They're headed for Heinessen.
Copy !req
17. I originally planned
to begin attacking...
Copy !req
18. as they reached their
maximum defense perimeters.
Copy !req
19. But if we wait for that now, Prince
Lohengramm's fleet will reach Heinessen first.
Copy !req
20. To stop him, we'll have to
engage him at a location...
Copy !req
21. where it's impossible for his
other fleets to return quickly.
Copy !req
22. Is that what
you mean to do?
Copy !req
23. Yes.
Copy !req
24. We'll have to attack
sooner than we planned...
Copy !req
25. and defeat Prince Lohengramm
within a limited time period.
Copy !req
26. If he merely holds out, he'll only have to
wait for the other fleets to return to him.
Copy !req
27. Even though we'll be forcing him
into a decisive fleet-to-fleet battle...
Copy !req
28. our situations are different.
Copy !req
29. I wish I could slough this
hard stuff on to somebody else...
Copy !req
30. May I come in?
Copy !req
31. My door is
always open to you.
Copy !req
32. Come in.
Copy !req
33. Then I'll take my leave.
Copy !req
34. O... oh...
Copy !req
35. Yes?
Copy !req
36. It's nothing.
Thank you.
Copy !req
37. Have a seat.
Copy !req
38. Did I interrupt something?
Copy !req
39. Don't be silly.
Copy !req
40. Anyway, what is it?
Copy !req
41. What do you think of Prince
Lohengramm's dispersal of his fleets?
Copy !req
42. Well, I wonder...
Copy !req
43. Then let me tell
you what I think.
Copy !req
44. This is definitely a trap.
Copy !req
45. If we go, we'll definitely
fall into a trap.
Copy !req
46. What kind of trap?
Copy !req
47. When our fleet approaches
the enemy stronghold...
Copy !req
48. they'll time us,
turn around and attack...
Copy !req
49. completely bottle us in,
and annihilate us.
Copy !req
50. That kind of trap.
Copy !req
51. You've already seen it, haven't you?
Even I can see it.
Copy !req
52. But you're jumping in, even
though you know it's a trap.
Copy !req
53. Oh, geez.
Copy !req
54. Ordinarily, it's the young who get all
excited, and the elders who restrain them.
Copy !req
55. Looks like the situation
is reversed here.
Copy !req
56. Do you believe that I'll
lose to Prince Lohengramm?
Copy !req
57. It's unfair of you to try to shut
me up with that kind of talk!
Copy !req
58. I apologize.
Copy !req
59. You're right. That was an
unfair way of saying it.
Copy !req
60. No... I was out of line.
Copy !req
61. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
62. Listen, Julian...
Copy !req
63. My principle has always been to
try to win without fighting.
Copy !req
64. I'm not going to
abandon that principle now.
Copy !req
65. There's a chance of victory?
Copy !req
66. Truthfully,
not much of one.
Copy !req
67. But it's our
only chance.
Copy !req
68. This is an invitation from Prince Lohengramm,
who has seen through my plans.
Copy !req
69. It's his answer to my
own rude invitation.
Copy !req
70. You can sense his will, so you'll
meet him in open, formal battle?
Copy !req
71. I'm not so much of
a romantic as that.
Copy !req
72. Right now, I'm
trying to figure out...
Copy !req
73. how to use Prince Lohengramm's
romanticism and pride to defeat him.
Copy !req
74. That's all.
Copy !req
75. Truthfully, I hope to win
without too much effort.
Copy !req
76. So we'll just have to use a plan
that doesn't require too much.
Copy !req
77. Anyway, don't get careless
and try to do too much.
Copy !req
78. Don't worry about that.
Copy !req
79. I have no interest
in overworking.
Copy !req
80. Thanks for
worrying about me.
Copy !req
81. And...
Copy !req
82. Yes?
Copy !req
83. Nah.
It's nothing.
Copy !req
84. Anyway, I'm going.
Copy !req
85. All right.
Copy !req
86. Free Planets, Rudmila - Supply Base
Copy !req
87. On April 11th, Yang's fleet docked at
the asteroid supply base, Rudmila...
Copy !req
88. 1200, 11 April
Copy !req
89. to take on final supplies
for the coming battle.
Copy !req
90. This is a message
from the Fleet Commander.
Copy !req
91. The rest of today, until 2400,
will be down time.
Copy !req
92. Even though it's only half a
day, it'll be your final R&R.
Copy !req
93. Enjoy yourselves thoroughly and
leave without regrets, everyone.
Copy !req
94. Leave without
regrets, he said?
Copy !req
95. R&R on an asteroid with
nothing but rock, eh?
Copy !req
96. Oh, well. Time to go seek
a night of hot passion.
Copy !req
97. How about you?
Copy !req
98. Go back to my
room and sleep.
Copy !req
99. You've got guts, announcing
that kind of boring plan out loud.
Copy !req
100. Boring, you said?
Copy !req
101. Boring, if it was a joke.
Copy !req
102. Even more boring,
if you really meant it.
Copy !req
103. You like telling
jokes more than I do.
Copy !req
104. One cannot live
by jokes alone.
Copy !req
105. But if there were no jokes,
I'd rather not live.
Copy !req
106. Your very existence
is a joke, man.
Copy !req
107. You've honed your sarcasm to
a high level, Mr. Konev.
Copy !req
108. Not really. It's only the jealousy of a
man who's no good with the ladies.
Copy !req
109. Don't dwell on it
too much, Mr. Poplan.
Copy !req
110. Oh, Lieutenant Commander.
Copy !req
111. Julian, what're you
doing until midnight?
Copy !req
112. I'm going to
the cafeteria.
Copy !req
113. How about you, Frederica?
Copy !req
114. Admiral Yang
called for me.
Copy !req
115. I wonder what he wants?
Copy !req
116. Huh?
Copy !req
117. Lieutenant...
Copy !req
118. Yes?
Copy !req
119. Ah... I mean,
Lieutenant Commander...
Copy !req
120. Yes?
Copy !req
121. Miss Greenhill...
Copy !req
122. Yes?
Copy !req
123. Frederica.
Copy !req
124. Yes?
Copy !req
125. It feels like we've gone
eleven years back in time.
Copy !req
126. It's the first time you've called me
by my first name since El Facil.
Copy !req
127. Do you remember?
Copy !req
128. Thank you,
Miss Greenhill.
Copy !req
129. Please call me Frederica,
Lieutenant Junior Grade.
Copy !req
130. Frederica...
Copy !req
131. Frederica... when
this war is over...
Copy !req
132. Hmm...?
Copy !req
133. I'm seven years
older than you.
Copy !req
134. How should
I say this...?
Copy !req
135. There are lots of things
wrong with my lifestyle...
Copy !req
136. Upon reflection, I'm not sure whether
I'm worthy of making this request...
Copy !req
137. I've even thought
about pulling rank.
Copy !req
138. The battle's about to begin
right before our very eyes...
Copy !req
139. Making this request
is imprudent of me...
Copy !req
140. But regretting it after saying it would
be better than regretting not saying it.
Copy !req
141. I'm a bit flustered...
Copy !req
142. I've just been talking
only about myself.
Copy !req
143. Anyway...
Copy !req
144. Anyway...
Copy !req
145. I'd like to
get married.
Copy !req
146. If we pool our pensions, living
expenses shouldn't be a problem.
Copy !req
147. And... my parents were eight
years apart in age, as well.
Copy !req
148. Maybe I should've
mentioned it earlier.
Copy !req
149. So...
Copy !req
150. Yes?
What is it?
Copy !req
151. I... I haven't heard
your reply yet.
Copy !req
152. How about it?
Copy !req
153. Eh?
Copy !req
154. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
155. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
156. I'd be thrilled!
Copy !req
157. Thank you... or however
I should say it...
Copy !req
158. Uh... what should I say...?
Copy !req
159. What should I say?
Copy !req
160. I see.
Copy !req
161. That fellow, Yang, has finally allowed
his courage to give him a push.
Copy !req
162. It's basically
a happy event.
Copy !req
163. Shall we drink
a toast to it?
Copy !req
164. Sorry, I've
already finished it.
Copy !req
165. You said that it was
"basically a happy event."
Copy !req
166. What do you
mean by that?
Copy !req
167. It's a happy event for Yang,
because he'll finally have a bride.
Copy !req
168. Plus, she's excellent.
Copy !req
169. As for Lt. Cmdr. Greenhill, even though it
may seem like she's asking for trouble...
Copy !req
170. it's a happy event because she's
marrying the person she loves.
Copy !req
171. A funeral needs only one person.
You can't get married without two people.
Copy !req
172. So why did
you say "basically?"
Copy !req
173. The same reason why you drained your
glass before we raised one in toast.
Copy !req
174. You have a thing for
Miss Greenhill, don't you?
Copy !req
175. I wish the two of them all the
happiness in the world - really!
Copy !req
176. I love both of them.
Copy !req
177. It's only natural that I...
Copy !req
178. I know.
Want another one?
Copy !req
179. Yes.
Watered down.
Copy !req
180. Say, Julian.
Copy !req
181. I know I'm intruding...
Copy !req
182. but love, and the human mind,
can't be analyzed with formulas.
Copy !req
183. It's not so unusual for love to make you forget
the sense of care and respect for others.
Copy !req
184. There's no logic.
It's an uncontrollable urge.
Copy !req
185. To tell you the truth, it'd be
worrisome if you became like that.
Copy !req
186. Your mind is keen,
and your character is good.
Copy !req
187. But passion has nothing
to do with mind or character.
Copy !req
188. Yes, I understand.
Copy !req
189. Hmm...
Copy !req
190. Good, if you
do understand...
Copy !req
191. even if it's only
your brain that does.
Copy !req
192. I wonder if they'll still call each other "Admiral"
and "Lt. Cmdr." after they get married.
Copy !req
193. Oh, there's no way they would.
Copy !req
194. Nope. For a while
after we got married...
Copy !req
195. she kept calling
me "Lt. Cazellnu."
Copy !req
196. Every time she called me
that, I stood to attention.
Copy !req
197. Anyway, this is for
after we live through this.
Copy !req
198. After they get married,
what'll you do, Julian?
Copy !req
199. You could continue
living there.
Copy !req
200. I don't want to get in
the way of newlywed life.
Copy !req
201. I'm not going to be a
partypooper, so forget it.
Copy !req
202. Enough with
the joking around.
Copy !req
203. There's a place
I'd like to travel to.
Copy !req
204. Eh? Where?
Copy !req
205. Earth.
Copy !req
206. Earth?
Copy !req
207. Why? To go check out the words
of the Earth Church for yourself?
Copy !req
208. Yes, something like that.
Copy !req
209. That's also for after
they get married.
Copy !req
210. To your happiness.
Copy !req
211. Vermilion Starzone
Copy !req
212. What an inconstant sun.
Copy !req
213. If we don't stop Prince Lohengramm
here, we have no future.
Copy !req
214. The 125 billion cubic light
seconds around Vermilion...
Copy !req
215. are to be divided into
ten thousand sectors...
Copy !req
216. and two thousand patrol units
are to be assigned to them.
Copy !req
217. You want to know immediately
when Prince Lohengramm...
Copy !req
218. enters this star
system, don't you?
Copy !req
219. Well, yeah.
Copy !req
220. The one responsible for that
operation will be Vice Admiral Murai.
Copy !req
221. I'm not too good at
precision operations like this.
Copy !req
222. Oh, my.
Copy !req
223. The evacuation of El Facil, eleven years ago,
destroyed any diligence I had.
Copy !req
224. This is advance
scout unit F-02.
Copy !req
225. We've sighted the
main enemy fleet!
Copy !req
226. Present location is sector 00864.
sector 01227!
Copy !req
227. Distance from our position
is 40.6 light seconds.
Copy !req
228. They're close!
Copy !req
229. Flagship - Sindur
Copy !req
230. Sir, should we pursue
and destroy them?
Copy !req
231. Vice Admiral Rolf Otto Brauhitz
Copy !req
232. There's no point in
going after scouts now.
Copy !req
233. We'd do better to track them and
find out where their main fleet is.
Copy !req
234. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
235. Your Excellency.
Copy !req
236. We've determined the
position of the enemy fleet.
Copy !req
237. We're likely to engage them
in the Vermilion Starzone.
Copy !req
238. So it will be
here after all.
Copy !req
239. Streit!
Copy !req
240. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
241. Order the
troops to rest.
Copy !req
242. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
243. Since we know their position,
we won't be surprised.
Copy !req
244. The troops may
stand down for now.
Copy !req
245. Allow them three
hours of R&R.
Copy !req
246. Alcohol is
hereby permitted.
Copy !req
247. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
248. All troops, take
three hours of R&R.
Copy !req
249. Please take turns eating your meals,
and rest in the tank beds.
Copy !req
250. I don't think
I need to remind you...
Copy !req
251. that Prince Lohengramm
is an unsurpassed genius.
Copy !req
252. If we fight him at equal strength,
we have no chance at winning.
Copy !req
253. That's highly probable.
Copy !req
254. However, I don't think
you're that bad, either.
Copy !req
255. Haven't you already toyed around
with three Imperial admirals?
Copy !req
256. That was nothing
but good luck.
Copy !req
257. Maybe it was more, but it
was basically all good luck.
Copy !req
258. Anyway, before the
other fleets return...
Copy !req
259. The first one to return
will probably be the Gale Wolf.
Copy !req
260. We must try to
conclude it before then.
Copy !req
261. We'll use a tight formation, and pull the
enemy into battle at close quarters.
Copy !req
262. Luckily, the enemy needs
to destroy our entire fleet.
Copy !req
263. We only need to
destroy one ship:
Copy !req
264. The flagship, Brunhild.
Copy !req
265. That shall be
our advantage.
Copy !req
266. So, when the battle begins,
we'll be going without sleep.
Copy !req
267. Everyone, please
go and rest now.
Copy !req
268. Do you think that
we can win, General?
Copy !req
269. That depends on whether
you really want to.
Copy !req
270. I do want to win, from
the bottom of my heart.
Copy !req
271. That's not enough.
Copy !req
272. If you don't believe in it yourself, how
are other people going to believe?
Copy !req
273. If you were a professional soldier
whose only goal was winning...
Copy !req
274. or you were a man of ambition
who thirsted for power...
Copy !req
275. to either one,
you're worth instigating.
Copy !req
276. If you were a man who believed unwaveringly
in his own sense of righteousness...
Copy !req
277. and in his own sense of responsibility,
it would be even easier to provoke you.
Copy !req
278. But you're a man who doesn't even
believe in himself at all in battle.
Copy !req
279. A man who believes not in himself,
but who always emerges victorious.
Copy !req
280. For a man who believes only in righteousness,
that must be a hard existence to justify.
Copy !req
281. It's crazy.
Copy !req
282. I believe that being ruled
by the worst democracy...
Copy !req
283. is preferable to being
ruled by the best autocracy.
Copy !req
284. That's why I'm fighting Prince Reinhard
von Lohengramm on behalf of Job Truniht.
Copy !req
285. I think it's
a good principle.
Copy !req
286. Rudolf, who established
the Galactic Empire...
Copy !req
287. became Emperor with the
full support of the people.
Copy !req
288. What must it have been like before then,
during the rule of a terrible democracy?
Copy !req
289. Something worth pondering,
don't you think?
Copy !req
290. In other words, does rulership by the worst
democracy provide better government...
Copy !req
291. than rulership by
the best autocracy?
Copy !req
292. Which is better, indeed?
Copy !req
293. 1415, 24 April
Copy !req
294. All hands, red alert!
Copy !req
295. 84 light seconds to the enemy!
Copy !req
296. Oh, no...
they're getting closer.
Copy !req
297. Of course they are! What're we
supposed to do if they move away?
Copy !req
298. The enemy has penetrated
the yellow zone!
Copy !req
299. They've fully
entered firing range!
Copy !req
300. Fire!
Copy !req
301. The Battle of Vermilion
began on an ordinary note.
Copy !req
302. Battleship Triglav
Copy !req
303. Both Reinhard and Yang feared that the
other had some trick up his sleeve...
Copy !req
304. and thus used very conservate tactics
to begin with, enabling them to react.
Copy !req
305. Battleship Agateram
Copy !req
306. But once the
battle began...
Copy !req
307. against the wishes of the
commanders on both sides...
Copy !req
308. the contested
zones expanded.
Copy !req
309. The front line has asked for
clarifications on how to proceed.
Copy !req
310. They may act in accordance
to their own situation!
Copy !req
311. Why else would we have
mid-rank commanding officers?
Copy !req
312. Do I have to make a command
decision about everything?
Copy !req
313. Man, go discuss
it with the enemy!
Copy !req
314. It's not like I have a
choice in this matter!
Copy !req
315. Of course communications
are going to be jammed!
Copy !req
316. Relay my orders!
Copy !req
317. Isn't that why we prepared
shuttles beforehand?
Copy !req
318. Fleet Commander! Our
flagship is too close to the front!
Copy !req
319. We might become a target
for concentrated enemy fire!
Copy !req
320. Request permission to
pull back a little.
Copy !req
321. Captain of the Hyperion Asadullah Chartian
Copy !req
322. The movement of the ship is
up to the captain of that ship.
Copy !req
323. Do as you like, Captain.
Copy !req
324. Flagship - Theodoricus
Copy !req
325. So we're free to
act on our own?
Copy !req
326. Excellent.
All ships, charge!
Copy !req
327. Sir, are you sure?
Copy !req
328. We haven't received
firing orders yet.
Copy !req
329. Communications
have been jammed.
Copy !req
330. That just means that central command
cannot react to the changing battlefield.
Copy !req
331. Sometimes, waiting for orders means
losing our chance for victory.
Copy !req
332. The front line should react to
front line conditions on its own.
Copy !req
333. But...
Copy !req
334. Look over there.
Copy !req
335. The enemy wants to break through
the first line of defense, right?
Copy !req
336. Instead of waiting around here,
we might as well join the front line...
Copy !req
337. and kill Yang Wenli
with our own hands!
Copy !req
338. Why are we retreating this way?
It makes it hard to direct the battle.
Copy !req
339. Sir...
Copy !req
340. The enemy formation is getting
disorderly. Now's our chance.
Copy !req
341. Please take us to where I can
get a better look at things.
Copy !req
342. What's Turneisen trying to pull?
Copy !req
343. Now! Fire!
Copy !req
344. What the hell
is Turneisen doing?
Copy !req
345. Turneisen fleet, please respond!
Copy !req
346. Turneisen fleet, please respond!
Copy !req
347. What a hero.
Copy !req
348. Turneisen fleet, please respond!
Copy !req
349. His voice reaches far, but his eyes can
only see what's right in front of him.
Copy !req
350. Turneisen fleet, please respond!
Copy !req
351. Turneisen fleet, please respond!
Copy !req
352. He's a man to
keep away from.
Copy !req
353. If I'm still alive when this battle
is over, I'll take your advice.
Copy !req
354. But right now, for the sake of survival,
I have need of his fleet strength.
Copy !req
355. Get a shuttle, and get
in touch with Turneisen!
Copy !req
356. Fire!
Copy !req
357. Well done.
Copy !req
358. Mother...
Copy !req
359. Mother...
Copy !req
360. Don't panic!
Return fire!
Copy !req
361. The goal of the battle was
not to inflict cruelty.
Copy !req
362. But righteousness and faith
