Copy !req
2. OF THE
Copy !req
3. In every age,
Copy !req
4. in every place,
Copy !req
5. the deeds of men
Copy !req
6. remain the same.
Copy !req
7. The operation to move
Geiersburg Fortress is underway.
Copy !req
8. Meanwhile, one of
Reinhard's subordinates...
Copy !req
9. Admiral Ernest Mecklinger,
known as the Artistic Admiral...
Copy !req
10. Admiral Ernest Mecklinger
Copy !req
11. is visiting the mansion of
Baron Heinrich von Kunmel.
Copy !req
12. Kunmel Mansion
Copy !req
13. He was invited by Hilda,
who is the Baron's first cousin.
Copy !req
14. So Baron Kunmel is more like a little
brother than a cousin to you, Fraulein?
Copy !req
15. Yes. Both my uncle
and aunt died young...
Copy !req
16. and since they knew Heinrich
has always had a weak constitution...
Copy !req
17. they appointed my
father as his guardian.
Copy !req
18. Besides, I don't
have any siblings.
Copy !req
19. Asking you for a favor like this is, I suppose,
mixing up public and private affairs.
Copy !req
20. No, please don't worry.
Copy !req
21. But is it really alright
for me to intrude?
Copy !req
22. He's very excited about it!
Copy !req
23. Heinrich admires you, Admiral.
Copy !req
24. Since I've been working as
Prince Lohengramm's private secretary...
Copy !req
25. I haven't been able to
visit as much as I used to.
Copy !req
26. I said I'd make it up to him, and he said
he'd like me to introduce you to him.
Copy !req
27. Come in.
Copy !req
28. Baron Heinrich von Kunmel
Copy !req
29. Heinrich.
Copy !req
30. As promised, I brought
Admiral Mecklinger.
Copy !req
31. Pleased to meet you,
Baron Kunmel.
Copy !req
32. Wow, you're really here!
Copy !req
33. Oh, please...
Please, sit down.
Copy !req
34. I'm so happy
that you came.
Copy !req
35. I don't know if you'll like it or not,
Baron, but it's something I painted...
Copy !req
36. For me...?
Copy !req
37. Amazing!
It's amazing, Hilda!
Copy !req
38. That's so nice, isn't it?
Thank the Admiral.
Copy !req
39. Yes... yes!
Copy !req
40. Admiral, thank you.
Copy !req
41. On top of your being here,
to get this great painting!
Copy !req
42. It's truly perfect!
Copy !req
43. On the contrary, I'm gratified
that you're so happy.
Copy !req
44. Heinrich idolizes people
like you, Admiral.
Copy !req
45. That's right.
Copy !req
46. With this body, even if I spent my
whole life trying, I couldn't do anything.
Copy !req
47. Therefore, I admire those who've left behind
various achievements within one lifetime.
Copy !req
48. For example,
Leonardo da Vinci...
Copy !req
49. Tsao Tsao, who was a political
reformer, soldier and poet...
Copy !req
50. Lazar Carnot
and Togril Beck!
Copy !req
51. Is it fair for me to be
compared to such great people...?
Copy !req
52. Of course! In modern times,
Admiral Mecklinger, it's you!
Copy !req
53. Even if you excluded your
renown as a soldier...
Copy !req
54. on top of that, you've won
prizes as an artist, right?
Copy !req
55. Before that, even as a poet,
you were well regarded.
Copy !req
56. Was it the year before last that you won
second place at the Piano Competition?
Copy !req
57. Oh, dear, I'm astonished.
You know a lot.
Copy !req
58. It's embarrassing.
Copy !req
59. What are you saying?
Copy !req
60. Even in the Fleet...
Copy !req
61. you're good at leading fleets at the front
lines, and organizing troops at the rear.
Copy !req
62. And I've heard that you're
especially first rate as a staff officer.
Copy !req
63. Well, as for that, I really was
reluctant to become a soldier.
Copy !req
64. Because I'm common-born, I couldn't
make a living by the arts I love.
Copy !req
65. So, if you could render successes as
an artist, would you quit the fleet?
Copy !req
66. Heinrich, that's rude.
Copy !req
67. No, I don't mind.
Copy !req
68. But I won't quit for a while.
Copy !req
69. Because, while I've been in the Fleet,
I've encountered art that I can appreciate.
Copy !req
70. Is there such a thing?
Copy !req
71. Yes. The living art called
Prince Reinhard von Lohengramm.
Copy !req
72. Oh, uh, that was
rude of me.
Copy !req
73. No, it's very true.
Copy !req
74. Maybe everything about
his existence is artistic.
Copy !req
75. If only this body
of mine were free.
Copy !req
76. Really, thank you
very much for today.
Copy !req
77. No problem.
Copy !req
78. But will he be okay after getting
over excited and getting a fever?
Copy !req
79. Yes. If he's quiet
for a little while.
Copy !req
80. You should be satisfied
to have made him so happy.
Copy !req
81. I'm happy
I was of use.
Copy !req
82. By the way, Admiral...
Can I ask you one thing?
Copy !req
83. What?
Copy !req
84. When you went in the room, somehow,
you made an unexpected face...
Copy !req
85. Oh, it appeared
on my face...?
Copy !req
86. Indeed, you are keen.
Copy !req
87. Well, I've known a few sick
people like him, but in most cases...
Copy !req
88. they've always had a healthy
pet nearby as a companion.
Copy !req
89. So when I didn't
see that...
Copy !req
90. That was all it was.
Copy !req
91. Is that so...
Copy !req
92. He seems to have
no such interest.
Copy !req
93. He seems to be fond
of reading books, but...
Copy !req
94. I see.
Copy !req
95. At that time, the two of
them felt a vague uneasiness.
Copy !req
96. But it would be a considerable time afterward
before that took form and appeared.
Copy !req
97. Geiersburg Fortress
Copy !req
98. Normal engines' navigation
test, in 25 seconds.
Copy !req
99. Move the engineering vessels away
from the Fortress's course quickly.
Copy !req
100. T minus 20 seconds...
Copy !req
101. Course is clear.
Copy !req
102. T minus 15 seconds...
Copy !req
103. Final confirmation...
Copy !req
104. 10 seconds until ignition...
Copy !req
105. As soon as the navigation test is
completed for the normal engines...
Copy !req
106. 9...
Copy !req
107. 8...
Copy !req
108. we'll immediately begin
preparations for the warp experiment.
Copy !req
109. 7...
Copy !req
110. 6...
Copy !req
111. I've already dispatched the research
ship to the warp experiment space zone.
Copy !req
112. 5...
Copy !req
113. 4...
Copy !req
114. 3...
Copy !req
115. 2...
Copy !req
116. 1...
Copy !req
117. Ignition!
Copy !req
118. It moved!
Copy !req
119. Velocity 2000
kilometers per hour.
Copy !req
120. 5000 kilometers.
Copy !req
121. 8000 kilometers.
Copy !req
122. Acceleration vector, nominal. The error of the
specific output curve is plus or minus 0.03%
Copy !req
123. The synchronization accuracy
is within 0.1 micro-seconds.
Copy !req
124. It's perfect!
Copy !req
125. The Vulture has
spread its wings!
Copy !req
126. I received a report from
Kempf at Geiersberg.
Copy !req
127. The normal engines test
seems to have succeeded.
Copy !req
128. But without seeing the results
of the warp experiment...
Copy !req
129. we can't say yet whether
we can actually use it.
Copy !req
130. If that succeeds,
it'll be soon, won't it?
Copy !req
131. Fraulein, you're still opposed
to this dispatch, aren't you?
Copy !req
132. I haven't said anything.
Copy !req
133. You're scaring me,
looking at me like that.
Copy !req
134. I didn't think you would
be afraid of someone like me.
Copy !req
135. Your Excellency, whether
it's nations or organizations...
Copy !req
136. in order for groups of people to form,
there is one thing that is absolutely necessary.
Copy !req
137. And that is?
Copy !req
138. An enemy.
Copy !req
139. That's the truth.
Copy !req
140. Therefore, I'm continuing to
fight with the Free Planets Alliance.
Copy !req
141. But do you still
oppose my plan?
Copy !req
142. Your Excellency understands...
Copy !req
143. that the enemy that is
necessary for Your Excellency...
Copy !req
144. and the people who support Your
Excellency isn't the Free Planets Alliance...
Copy !req
145. it's the Goldenbaum Dynasty.
Copy !req
146. The Kaiser is
only seven years old.
Copy !req
147. He has no real power.
Copy !req
148. His age and abilities aren't
irrelevant at the moment.
Copy !req
149. Erwin Josef II is the successor
to the Goldenbaum Dynasty...
Copy !req
150. and could become a symbol
to rally the former powers.
Copy !req
151. Even if the former powers combined,
they are already no match for us.
Copy !req
152. Besides, I don't want to be known to
future generations as a child murderer.
Copy !req
153. I won't kill the Kaiser.
Copy !req
154. That's splendid!
Copy !req
155. But, as you say,
I need an enemy.
Copy !req
156. There is only one
road I can take.
Copy !req
157. Iserlohn Fortress
Copy !req
158. I've received a summons
to "appear on Heinessen."
Copy !req
159. What could it be?
Copy !req
160. It says they're
holding an inquiry.
Copy !req
161. I don't remember very well, but do you
know what kind of thing this is, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
162. Aside from a court-martial, such a thing as an
inquiry is neither in the Alliance constitution...
Copy !req
163. nor has any precedent
in Alliance military law.
Copy !req
164. It exists supra-legally?
Copy !req
165. After all, because it's arbitrary,
it's a matter that has no legal precedent.
Copy !req
166. It has to be legal since the Secretary
of Defense himself issued the order.
Copy !req
167. I can't avoid going to Heinessen,
the city of vanity and corruption.
Copy !req
168. The Alliance government has temporarily
recalled Admiral Yang to Heinessen...
Copy !req
169. to hold an
official inquiry.
Copy !req
170. Inquiry? Not a
military court-martial?
Copy !req
171. If it were a court-martial,
he has to be officially accused.
Copy !req
172. The defendant would also
have to have a lawyer.
Copy !req
173. Holding a psychological lynching
based on suspicions and conjecture...
Copy !req
174. is clearly a more effective
measure than a public court-martial.
Copy !req
175. It's a way of doing things that suits those
presently in power in the Alliance, isn't it?
Copy !req
176. While they extol democracy...
Copy !req
177. in reality, by ignoring laws and rules,
they reduce it to a mere formality.
Copy !req
178. It's a cunning but risky
way of doing things.
Copy !req
179. Because if the people in power
don't respect their own laws...
Copy !req
180. the standards of
society itself slacken.
Copy !req
181. That is a problem
that they must solve.
Copy !req
182. There's no need
for us to worry.
Copy !req
183. Those who received an inheritance without
exertion will receive a suitable trial.
Copy !req
184. Those who can't withstand it,
and are destroyed...
Copy !req
185. are not limited to
the Goldenbaum Dynasty.
Copy !req
186. Advisor, there are many things we have
to do other than discuss philosophy.
Copy !req
187. First, it's good that we've managed
to involve Count Remscheid in our plan...
Copy !req
188. But who should be the one to carry it out?
That's what we should decide first.
Copy !req
189. Forgive me.
Copy !req
190. I'm working on choosing
the suitable person.
Copy !req
191. I'll be able to report
to you within a few days.
Copy !req
192. At last, my worries
have become real?
Copy !req
193. I can't tell you not to go,
but please do everything carefully.
Copy !req
194. At any rate, don't
give them any excuses.
Copy !req
195. Yes, I know.
Copy !req
196. Again, please take
care of the watch.
Copy !req
197. Will you take a
security unit with you?
Copy !req
198. I'll take command...
Copy !req
199. There's no need
to overreact.
Copy !req
200. I'm not riding into
enemy territory.
Copy !req
201. Just nominate one person
whom I can rely on.
Copy !req
202. How about me, with
both wisdom and valor?
Copy !req
203. If we separate the Defense Commander
from the front lines, it'll be a problem later.
Copy !req
204. Please advise Rear Admiral Cazellnu.
Copy !req
205. I can't take Julian with
me this time, either.
Copy !req
206. I'll go with a minimum
number of people...
Copy !req
207. and instead of the
Hyperion, I'll use a cruiser.
Copy !req
208. Well?
Copy !req
209. You're being pretty
cautious, aren't you?
Copy !req
210. You think?
Copy !req
211. But why not take
Julian with you?
Copy !req
212. Because, since coming here, Julian hasn't
had a chance to make friends his own age.
Copy !req
213. I think I should free him from
the housework once in a while.
Copy !req
214. He's a good one...!
Copy !req
215. I'll nominate one
well-qualified man.
Copy !req
216. Master Sergeant Louis Mashengo.
Copy !req
217. He's usually an obedient guy,
but when he gets mad...
Copy !req
218. he can probably dispose of
a whole platoon with one hand.
Copy !req
219. Stronger than you?
Copy !req
220. If it were me,
it would be a whole company.
Copy !req
221. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
222. By the way, is Lt Greenhill
going with you?
Copy !req
223. What would I do if
I didn't take my adjutant?
Copy !req
224. It's reasonable, but if you take the
Lieutenant along and leave Julian behind...
Copy !req
225. the boy's probably going
to burn up with jealousy.
Copy !req
226. I know that Lt Greenhill is
interested in Admiral Yang.
Copy !req
227. But what about
the Admiral?
Copy !req
228. I don't know...
Copy !req
229. He's a person who hates to let
other people know his mind.
Copy !req
230. He's a person who's
comparatively transparent.
Copy !req
231. He's got a good head, but
his character is simple, right?
Copy !req
232. Because, on an individual level,
he's somewhat naive.
Copy !req
233. I guess people tend to know more
about others than themselves.
Copy !req
234. Hey, what do you mean?
Copy !req
235. I have to make dinner,
so please excuse me.
Copy !req
236. If I don't make the
Admiral's favorite Irish Stew...
Copy !req
237. It's good to be hard working, but don't grind
down your hard won genius making stew!
Copy !req
238. Geiersberg Fortress,
under Muller's command...
Copy !req
239. is moving towards the
scheduled warp experiment.
Copy !req
240. Will it work?
Copy !req
241. I'll make it succeed.
Copy !req
242. You've just returned
from a mission.
Copy !req
243. You should spend
tonight with your family.
Copy !req
244. Yes, sir! I'm grateful
for the indulgence.
Copy !req
245. Your father is going to a faraway
point in space to subdue the bad guys.
Copy !req
246. You two are boys.
Copy !req
247. So protect your mother,
and be good.
Copy !req
248. Hey, won't you wish
your father good luck?
Copy !req
249. Father, good luck, and
come back soon, okay?
Copy !req
250. Father, good luck.
Copy !req
251. Bring me a souvenir, OK?
Copy !req
252. Silly, Father's going to work!
Copy !req
253. He doesn't have time
to buy you a present!
Copy !req
254. But...
Copy !req
255. The souvenir will have to
wait until another time.
Copy !req
256. That's right, when I come back, shall we
go to see Grandma after such a long time?
Copy !req
257. Really?
Copy !req
258. Dear, is it all right,
making that kind of promise?
Copy !req
259. If you break it,
you'll be persecuted.
Copy !req
260. Oh, it's okay.
Copy !req
261. When the operation succeeds, and I come
home, I can probably take a small vacation.
Copy !req
262. And probably a promotion.
Copy !req
263. If so, we can probably increase the amount
of money we send to support your family.
Copy !req
264. Instead of that
kind of thing...
Copy !req
265. please come
back unhurt.
Copy !req
266. Because that's all I want.
Copy !req
267. Of course
I'll come back.
Copy !req
268. Have I ever gone to the
battlefield and not come back?
Copy !req
269. Planet Phezzan
Copy !req
270. Baron Flegel had been the strongest
leader in the Lippstadt Alliance.
Copy !req
271. Leopold Schuhmacher, who had
been employed as his staff officer...
Copy !req
272. fled with his subordinates
to Phezzan after Flegel's death.
Copy !req
273. Starting a new life in
the Assiniboiyer ravine...
Copy !req
274. he was going to spend the
rest of his life as a pioneer.
Copy !req
275. Leopold Schuhmacher, Former Captain
Copy !req
276. Mr. Leopold Schuhmacher, former
Imperial Fleet Captain, isn't it?
Copy !req
277. I'm the Landesherr's advisor,
Rupert Kessellink.
Copy !req
278. I have something important to
say about your homeland, Captain.
Copy !req
279. Won't you let me
not care any more?
Copy !req
280. I'm not a captain or
anything anymore.
Copy !req
281. What becomes of the Galactic Empire
has nothing to do with me.
Copy !req
282. As my hands are full, planning
a new life for me and my friends...
Copy !req
283. I don't have time to think about
the past which I've thrown away.
Copy !req
284. It's all right to
throw away the past.
Copy !req
285. But don't do the
same with the future.
Copy !req
286. Captain Schuhmacher, you aren't a person
to end his life covered with dirt and fertilizer.
Copy !req
287. Won't you think about
trying to change history?
Copy !req
288. Please go away.
Copy !req
289. Well, won't you calm
down and hear me out?
Copy !req
290. You can probably grow
crops on your farm.
Copy !req
291. But, alas, crops have no meaning
if they can't be sold in the city.
Copy !req
292. You're intelligent, Captain.
You must understand me.
Copy !req
293. Is that the Phezzanni
way of doing things?
Copy !req
294. Yes. This is the Phezzanni
way of doing things.
Copy !req
295. If necessary, I'm prepared
to force you using my authority.
Copy !req
296. It's fine if
you're contemptuous.
Copy !req
297. However, I think there's nothing in the world
as futile as the loser's contempt for the victor.
Copy !req
298. You probably think so,
while you're winning.
Copy !req
299. Well, what are you
telling me to do?
Copy !req
300. Assassinate Prince Lohengramm?
Copy !req
301. Phezzan doesn't
like bloodshed.
Copy !req
302. Because peace is the only
way to prosperity, isn't it?
Copy !req
303. Count Alfred von Lansburg
Copy !req
304. You damned vulgar Phezzanni!
Copy !req
305. How could you understand
my lofty literature?
Copy !req
306. Count Lansberg...?
Copy !req
307. Who are you?
Copy !req
308. If you don't feel like wasting your loyalty
and labor for the Goldenbaum Dynasty...
Copy !req
309. then please take part in a
plan headed by Count Remscheid.
Copy !req
310. I see?
Copy !req
311. So you were a member of
the Lippstadt Alliance, too?
Copy !req
312. So we're battle comrades.
Copy !req
313. From here on, I'm pleased
to be of service.
Copy !req
314. Will this plan
ever succeed?
Copy !req
315. Even if it does succeed, what
kind of meaning is there in that?
Copy !req
316. Making the flames
of war spread...
Copy !req
317. doesn't it just raise obstructions
on the road to peace and progress?
Copy !req
318. There's no novelty
whatsoever in Schaft's plan.
Copy !req
319. Isn't it just the old
"big ships-big guns" doctrine?
Copy !req
320. But it might be
effective against Iserlohn.
Copy !req
321. Besides, I know it's an order,
but Kempf is a really hard working guy.
Copy !req
322. At any rate, I don't care
about Schaft or Kempf.
Copy !req
323. As for me, I'm concerned
about Prince Lohengramm.
Copy !req
324. Since Kircheis' death, I've
noticed he's changed a lot.
Copy !req
325. Although I can't
say how or where...
Copy !req
326. People have to change,
having lost what should not be lost?
Copy !req
327. Do you remember?
Copy !req
328. It was right here...
Copy !req
329. when we first saw Kircheis and Prince
Lohengramm, when he was still called Musel.
Copy !req
330. It was after the victory in the
Battle of Banfried Star Zone.
Copy !req
331. Four years ago?
Copy !req
332. Who's that?
Copy !req
333. He's Commodore
Reinhard von Musel.
Copy !req
334. No, now he's
a Rear Admiral?
Copy !req
335. Whichever, as he's just
turned eighteen, it's a big deal.
Copy !req
336. Indeed. He's the one the high
nobles call the "Blond Brat?"
Copy !req
337. What do you think
of the "Blond Brat?"
Copy !req
338. There's an old saying.
Copy !req
339. That a baby tiger may
be mistaken for a cat.
Copy !req
340. When you look at Reinhard von Musel,
is he a tiger or a cat?
Copy !req
341. Probably a tiger.
Copy !req
342. Because the enemy is under
no obligation to lose...
Copy !req
343. just because he's the brother
of the Kaiser's favorite.
Copy !req
344. No doubt,
he was a tiger.
Copy !req
345. No...
Copy !req
346. he's a lion.
Copy !req
347. Indeed. The lion is
the king of the animals.
Copy !req
348. But I also didn't realize
Kircheis' influence was so great.
Copy !req
349. If Kircheis were alive, he'd surely dissuade
Prince Lohengramm from this dispatch.
Copy !req
350. If Siegfried Kircheis
were alive...?
Copy !req
351. Expected warp time in 45 seconds.
Copy !req
352. The warp out point, outside of the Valhalla
Star Zone, is shown on the main screen.
Copy !req
353. I don't see Schaft.
Copy !req
354. He's on Geiersberg
with Kempf and Muller.
Copy !req
355. Well, that's not
like him, is it?
Copy !req
356. Of course he
was unwilling.
Copy !req
357. But Prince Lohengramm seems to
have ordered him to be aboard.
Copy !req
358. Indeed. But will the huge fortress, 45 km in
diameter, warp out at those coordinates?
Copy !req
359. It will no doubt be
a dramatic spectacle, but...
Copy !req
360. Until the bitter end, it's a
story of "if" it succeeds, right?
Copy !req
361. In 10 seconds...
Copy !req
362. 9...
Copy !req
363. 8...
Copy !req
364. 7...
Copy !req
365. 6...
Copy !req
366. 5...
Copy !req
367. 4...
Copy !req
368. 3...
Copy !req
369. 2...
Copy !req
370. 1...
Copy !req
371. The fortress and its surrounding
area show no abnormalities.
Copy !req
372. With the successful warping of Geiersberg,
a fleet of 16,000 ships and 2 million troops...
Copy !req
373. formally embarked on
the road towards Iserlohn.
Copy !req
374. It was Imperial Year 489, March 18.
Copy !req
375. On the same day, Yang Wenli, who had
been recalled by the government...
Copy !req
376. was getting ready to
leave Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
377. Julian, about how
tall are you?
Copy !req
378. 173 centimeters...
Copy !req
379. I'll be outstripped
next year, won't I?
Copy !req
380. Although you weren't even up
to my shoulder when we first met.
Copy !req
381. I'm going to go and
look at Geiersberg.
Copy !req
382. I want to be alone
for a little while.
Copy !req
383. No one must come in.
Copy !req
384. Is this where
Admiral Kircheis...?
Copy !req
385. Lord Reinhard, please
gain the universe.
Copy !req
386. And please tell
Lady Annerose...
Copy !req
387. that Sieg kept
his old promise.
Copy !req
388. Yes, Kircheis...
Copy !req
389. you kept your promise.
Copy !req
390. Therefore, I will keep
my promise to you.
Copy !req
391. No matter what I do,
I'll take the universe.
Copy !req
392. And then I will go
to meet my sister!
Copy !req
393. But I'm cold, Kircheis.
Copy !req
394. In a universe without you and
my sister, warm light is lacking.
Copy !req
395. If I went back to that time twelve years
ago, and if I could redo things once more...
Copy !req
396. could the world be a little
more bright and warm for me...
Copy !req
397. Kircheis?
Copy !req
398. Prince Lohengramm won't open his
heart to anyone other than to the dead?
Copy !req
399. That's too lonely!
Copy !req
400. Why is he trying to destroy the
former Reich, and rule space?
Copy !req
401. He can't go on like this!
Copy !req
402. He can't!
Copy !req

Copy !req
404. Summoned by the National Defense Council, Yang returned to Planet Heinessen.
Copy !req

from Frederica and the others...
Copy !req
406. and was committed to a
court of inquiry by himself.
