2. LEGEND
Copy !req
3. OF THE
Copy !req
4. GALACTIC HEROES
Copy !req
5. As the vanguard of
the Imperial Fleet...
Copy !req
6. the Black Lancers were proceeding
toward the Alliance capital, Heinessen...
Copy !req
7. removing several small resistance attempts
along its way with its explosive force.
Copy !req
8. But its supply lines were
cut off at one point...
Copy !req
9. by the guerilla tactics of Alliance
forces led by Commodore Bufort...
Copy !req
10. and its advance
was temporarily halted.
Copy !req
11. Bittenfeld crushed Bufort's headquarters,
dispersing them in the process.
Copy !req
12. He also obtained a few pieces
of information from POWs...
Copy !req
13. and reported them to the main
Imperial fleets that followed.
Copy !req
14. Admiral Willibalt Joachim von Merkatz
appears to be alive, in Yang Wenli's camp.
Copy !req
15. In other words, Lennenkanpt acted
upon biases that were actually truths.
Copy !req
16. Admiral Rolf Otto Brauhitz
Copy !req
17. So he is on
El Facil with Yang Wenli.
Copy !req
18. Isn't this a situation that
deserves our concern?
Copy !req
19. Admiral Dahtlich Sauken
Copy !req
20. But admirals without soldiers are
equivalent to fixed stars without planets.
Copy !req
21. Their lights will only illuminate
the darkness without any effect.
Copy !req
22. I agree.
Copy !req
23. Admiral Welner Altringen
Copy !req
24. It may actually be a welcome outcome
that the military power of the Alliance...
Copy !req
25. and the genius of
Yang Wenli were separated.
Copy !req
26. One planet on the fringe isn't necessarily fear-inspiring...
Copy !req
27. just because they
gained Yang Wenli.
Copy !req
28. That's a fair argument.
Copy !req
29. At the Battle of Vermilion, Yang Wenli
obeyed his government's cease-fire order...
Copy !req
30. and while his act was
morally praiseworthy...
Copy !req
31. it also revealed the limitation
of his political power.
Copy !req
32. Although he may be able to rally anti-Imperial
powers around him because of his fame...
Copy !req
33. I doubt he
can sustain them.
Copy !req
34. Moreover, the productivity of El Facil itself is
insufficient to support a large military force...
Copy !req
35. and I doubt that other planets would
be willing to be subordinate to it.
Copy !req
36. In other words, Fraulein, you're saying that
we can just ignore Yang Wenli, aren't you?
Copy !req
37. No, Yang's military intellect
is still awe-inspiring.
Copy !req
38. That's all the more reason that we should,
without risking an actual face-off against him...
Copy !req
39. end the life of the Alliance itself
and isolate Yang and El Facil.
Copy !req
40. That way, his powers will
eventually self-destruct.
Copy !req
41. It seems you don't want me to fight against
Yang Wenli under any circumstances.
Copy !req
42. As intelligent as you are, Fraulein, even you
seem to fall into delusions once in a while.
Copy !req
43. If I don't lose to Yang Wenli,
will I have eternal life and youth?
Copy !req
44. You are being
difficult, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
45. Forgive me.
Copy !req
46. Fraulein, I fought against Yang Wenli
at Starzone Vermilion last year...
Copy !req
47. and I lost in
spectacular fashion.
Copy !req
48. Your Majesty...
Copy !req
49. I was defeated.
Copy !req
50. On the strategic level,
I fell for his provocation.
Copy !req
51. On the tactical level...
Copy !req
52. I was only half a step short of suffering
a direct hit from his main cannons.
Copy !req
53. The only reason I was able
to avoid death in defeat...
Copy !req
54. was because you directed Reuental and
Mittermeyer to invade the enemy capital...
Copy !req
55. so the credit
goes to you.
Copy !req
56. I had no part
in the victory.
Copy !req
57. If I may say so...
Copy !req
58. the accomplishments of subordinates are attributable to the superior who appointed them.
Copy !req
59. Your Majesty,
you were not defeated.
Copy !req
60. Please don't consider revenge
against Yang Wenli as an individual.
Copy !req
61. Your Majesty, you will gain the entirety
of the universe in the near future.
Copy !req
62. I doubt Yang Wenli
can prevent it.
Copy !req
63. That's how you will
ultimately be victorious.
Copy !req
64. Who is to say that
you stole the victory?
Copy !req
65. Yang Wenli
wouldn't say that.
Copy !req
66. But his subordinates will
surely make such a claim.
Copy !req
67. At this moment, Hilda had
an indescribable misgiving.
Copy !req
68. She wondered if Reinhard...
Copy !req
69. rather than decaying in a long
melancholy in the absence of enemies...
Copy !req
70. might unconditionally choose to be defeated
in the prime of his life by a worthy opponent.
Copy !req
71. Planet El Facil
Copy !req
72. Wow...!
Copy !req
73. Julian...?
Copy !req
74. Hey, Julian!
Copy !req
75. It's been a long time,
Vice Admiral Attenborough!
Copy !req
76. So, where are
your other retainers?
Copy !req
77. That's not a nice
way to put it.
Copy !req
78. We just arrived, so Captain Konev
is still doing paperwork.
Copy !req
79. And Commander Poplan is...
Copy !req
80. Commander Poplan!
Copy !req
81. Huh?
Copy !req
82. Oh, well...
Copy !req
83. I wish you hadn't butted in
when things were going well...
Copy !req
84. With just a little more time, I would've been
able to have a sweet dream in a double bed.
Copy !req
85. You just arrived,
and you're so industrious.
Copy !req
86. You're picking up new
women by the minute, right?
Copy !req
87. The entire population of the
human race is 40 billion.
Copy !req
88. And half of it is women.
Copy !req
89. Even considering that half of
that won't pass the age limit...
Copy !req
90. and a further half of that will
fail on the account of their looks...
Copy !req
91. there still are 5 billion that are
potential targets of my romance.
Copy !req
92. I can't waste
even one second.
Copy !req
93. Huh...?
Copy !req
94. Aren't you concerned about
character and intellect?
Copy !req
95. I'll leave the women with
good character to you.
Copy !req
96. I'll take the other half
with bad character.
Copy !req
97. Commander, are you aware?
Copy !req
98. What you're saying can't be interpreted as anything but fraud even if I speak diplomatically.
Copy !req
99. Well, you can let me off the
hook on that one, can't you?
Copy !req
100. All the while I was toiling on
a crummy planet called "Earth..."
Copy !req
101. you guys were doing everything
you wanted to do on Heinessen.
Copy !req
102. We had a
hard time, too!
Copy !req
103. Well, all right.
Anyway, I'm glad you all came.
Copy !req
104. I'll guide you to Headquarters,
so we'll talk more in the car.
Copy !req
105. Well, but you really took drastic action,
cutting off ties with the Alliance government.
Copy !req
106. That's what they call,
"waking up from a lazy sleep."
Copy !req
107. Look, Commander Poplan,
don't you misunderstand this.
Copy !req
108. We're doing this revolutionary war
out of foppery and whim. Got that?
Copy !req
109. Of course, I can tell that,
just by looking at the members.
Copy !req
110. In the end, the Yang Fleet
just changed its nameplate.
Copy !req
111. But still, "The Irregulars" or "Revolutionary
Reserve Force" aren't witty names at all.
Copy !req
112. "Lady-Killer Olivier Poplan and His Foils"
would make for a much better name.
Copy !req
113. Rejected.
Copy !req
114. There are women, too.
Copy !req
115. Then we can call it
"Olivier Poplan Fan Club."
Copy !req
116. Rejected, rejected, rejected!
Copy !req
117. I'll take care of the luggage.
Copy !req
118. There are locker rooms
in the basement.
Copy !req
119. I think I can find it.
Copy !req
120. Commander Poplan!
Copy !req
121. Go on ahead.
Copy !req
122. Julian, do you
know who she is?
Copy !req
123. Yes, at the Dayan-Han Supply Base,
Commander Poplan introduced me to her, so...
Copy !req
124. But why do you
know her, Admiral?
Copy !req
125. Um, well, she's the daughter
an acquaintance of mine.
Copy !req
126. You seem to know Sergeant
Katerose von Kreuzer very well.
Copy !req
127. All right, I'll tell you.
Copy !req
128. She's the daughter of
Lt. General Schenkopp!
Copy !req
129. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
130. But it's a bit difficult to believe that
Lt. General Schenkopp has a daughter.
Copy !req
131. And her, of all people.
Copy !req
132. I can't believe
it myself, either.
Copy !req
133. But think about it.
Copy !req
134. He's garnered accolades in "that" area
from the time he was about your age.
Copy !req
135. I wouldn't be surprised if he had
a squadron of illegitimate children.
Copy !req
136. The sense of familiarity I felt from her
before may have been because of this.
Copy !req
137. Does Lt. General Schenkopp know?
Copy !req
138. No.
Copy !req
139. How about it, Julian?
Copy !req
140. With your virtues...
Copy !req
141. do you want to be an intermediary for
the meeting between a parent and a child?
Copy !req
142. I don't think
it'll work out.
Copy !req
143. I have the feeling
she dislikes me.
Copy !req
144. Did you do something
to make her dislike you?
Copy !req
145. No, not particularly.
But I just feel that way.
Copy !req
146. But in any case, rather than watching the chaos in the Schenkopp household from afar...
Copy !req
147. we should probably focus our energy
on the capture of Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
148. Come on in, Julian.
Copy !req
149. Our lazy Fleet Admiral is in here,
reluctantly conducting his work.
Copy !req
150. You should probably work
as diligently as you can.
Copy !req
151. If the outcome isn't decided
in the Admiral's generation...
Copy !req
152. the next generation
will have a hard time.
Copy !req
153. The signs of your progress, as a
result of your efforts, are evident.
Copy !req
154. I'm flattered, Admiral.
Copy !req
155. Julian...!
Copy !req
156. Admiral Yang!
Copy !req
157. Welcome home.
Copy !req
158. You look well, Julian.
Copy !req
159. Yes, I just arrived.
Copy !req
160. I've returned, to the
place where I should be...
Copy !req
161. to the people with
whom I should be.
Copy !req
162. Yang, at the same time he was receiving
Julian and the others' report...
Copy !req
163. also explained to them the strategy
for the recapture of Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
164. We'll be able to return
to Iserlohn soon, right?
Copy !req
165. If the plan works, yes.
Copy !req
166. I'm sure it will.
Copy !req
167. But in any case, Kaiser Reinhard really loves
a large-scale pincer-envelopment strategy.
Copy !req
168. I love it, too.
Copy !req
169. If we had a force that was larger
than that of Kaiser Reinhard's...
Copy !req
170. I would divide it in two
and pincer the opposition.
Copy !req
171. No, even if we
don't do that...
Copy !req
172. if we still have enough forces left
after capturing Iserlohn Fortress...
Copy !req
173. we could still have the option of
going right into Imperial territory.
Copy !req
174. If that happens...
Copy !req
175. Kaiser Reinhard would have no choice but
to return to Imperial territory via Phezzan.
Copy !req
176. And right then, if a Phezzani independence
revolutionary group stages an uprising...
Copy !req
177. It's no use talking
in the subjunctive.
Copy !req
178. It's not like we've established contact with an independence revolutionary group on Phezzan.
Copy !req
179. Nothing has started yet.
Copy !req
180. By the way,
where is Boris?
Copy !req
181. He said he'd come see you once
his entry procedures are done.
Copy !req
182. Okay.
Copy !req
183. I was hoping to ask him about it,
so I was waiting for his return.
Copy !req
184. At this moment, Yang had
committed one miscalculation:
Copy !req
185. He didn't think that
the Alliance forces...
Copy !req
186. would be able to mount a systematic
resistance against the Imperial forces.
Copy !req
187. If he had known that Fleet Admiral
Bucock and Admiral Trung...
Copy !req
188. would rally the surviving forces
to challenge Kaiser Reinhard...
Copy !req
189. Yang would have had to
formulate a different equation.
Copy !req
190. And then, for the
first time in his life...
Copy !req
191. Yang Wenli would have most likely entered
into a battle with no possibility of victory.
Copy !req
192. That is something that many
historians of a later era will point out.
Copy !req
193. In retrospect, one more thing that
should be criticized as careless...
Copy !req
194. was his delay in the examination of the
data that Julian brought back from Earth.
Copy !req
195. Though it may have
been understandable...
Copy !req
196. considering that he was facing a more
immediate venture, the recapture of Iserlohn.
Copy !req
197. We've got trouble.
Copy !req
198. The government brass are
saying that it's not a good idea...
Copy !req
199. for you to go into the battlefield and
lead the upcoming operation yourself.
Copy !req
200. What?
Copy !req
201. If, during the absence
of the Fleet Admiral...
Copy !req
202. there is a military attack from the
Empire or the Alliance, what will you do?
Copy !req
203. I told you that there's very little
possibility of that at this moment.
Copy !req
204. But you can't completely rule out the possibility of an uprising by an anti-revolutionary group.
Copy !req
205. Because of your presence, we can
exert great authority, don't you agree?
Copy !req
206. Then I'll ask Admiral
Merkatz to stay behind.
Copy !req
207. Admiral Merkatz?
Copy !req
208. Oh well,
I can't take this.
Copy !req
209. The reason they oppose it isn't only
because Admiral Merkatz is a defector.
Copy !req
210. Basically, they're worried
over the possibility...
Copy !req
211. that I might wield my military power
in a place where they can't oversee me.
Copy !req
212. So they fear that you might usurp their
control and establish a military government.
Copy !req
213. And Schenkopp and some others have
been making troublesome remarks.
Copy !req
214. Oh, well.
Copy !req
215. I suppose they think that if
they make you stay on El Facil...
Copy !req
216. your subordinates won't take
drastic actions on their own.
Copy !req
217. It's basically a sugar-coated
form of a hostage, I guess.
Copy !req
218. That's right.
Copy !req
219. Well, this time around, you've already
prepared the props for the magic...
Copy !req
220. so it's okay, even if others get
on stage to actually perform it.
Copy !req
221. We can leave it to
Attenborough or someone.
Copy !req
222. No, in preparation
for the future...
Copy !req
223. Attenborough should
also stay behind...
Copy !req
224. and train himself to see the
larger picture of a battle situation.
Copy !req
225. We'll appoint Admiral Merkatz to take
command of the entire operation...
Copy !req
226. and for actual combat,
we'll put Schenkopp in charge.
Copy !req
227. During preparations for
the capture of the Fortress...
Copy !req
228. and prior to the final
personnel decisions...
Copy !req
229. Yang met with
Boris Konev...
Copy !req
230. to request his help in negotiation with
and organization of anti-Imperial...
Copy !req
231. former Phezzan merchants, so that they
would secretly support El Facil financially.
Copy !req
232. But right now...
Copy !req
233. no matter what kind of promissory notes El Facil issues, it'll likely be a miss.
Copy !req
234. It's kind of weird
for me to say this...
Copy !req
235. but in order to
manipulate Phezzani at will...
Copy !req
236. you'll have to make a suitably
appealing offer, I would think.
Copy !req
237. You won't do it?
Copy !req
238. I'm not saying
I won't do it.
Copy !req
239. I'm saying that, in order for me
to do it, I need more ingredients.
Copy !req
240. If nothing else, some sort of
blackmail materials should do fine.
Copy !req
241. If the Empire gains control of the entire
universe, the Phezzani will suffer...
Copy !req
242. if such a situation
comes about...
Copy !req
243. they'll have no choice but to support
you, whether they like it or not.
Copy !req
244. Then how about this.
Copy !req
245. The Empire is planning to
nationalize all industries...
Copy !req
246. and intends to revoke the
previously established rights...
Copy !req
247. of the Phezzani in the area
of inter-planetary commerce.
Copy !req
248. If that's the truth, that'll
be a big issue. But is it?
Copy !req
249. It might turn out to be true. Kaiser
Reinhard dislikes the monopoly of wealth.
Copy !req
250. How were the former aristocrats
of the Empire rewarded by him?
Copy !req
251. Well, it's all right.
Copy !req
252. If we have to pick a fight, the bigger the
opponent, the more interesting it gets.
Copy !req
253. But aside from that, there's one
thing that I want to make clear.
Copy !req
254. I want to ask this; do you honestly
intend to defeat Kaiser Reinhard?
Copy !req
255. So far, Kaiser Reinhard has not made
any instances of misgovernment.
Copy !req
256. Plus, his capacity and forces are probably
more than enough to rule the entire universe.
Copy !req
257. Is there any guarantee that the universe will
be a better place after he's defeated, Yang?
Copy !req
258. No.
Copy !req
259. You're so honest.
Copy !req
260. That's fine, but there's
one more thing.
Copy !req
261. No matter how
hard you try...
Copy !req
262. there's no guarantee that the once weakened republic will be revived in good health.
Copy !req
263. And that's okay
with you, too?
Copy !req
264. You may be right.
Copy !req
265. But if we don't plant seeds just
because they'll wither someday...
Copy !req
266. there's no chance that
the grass will grow.
Copy !req
267. Also, we can't go without eating meals just
because we'll eventually get hungry anyway.
Copy !req
268. Isn't that right, Boris?
Copy !req
269. Right!
Copy !req
270. It's a humorless example,
but it's true, I suppose.
Copy !req
271. Between the time the former
Galactic Federation perished...
Copy !req
272. .as a result of the usurpation
by Rudolph von Goldenbaum...
Copy !req
273. and the emergence of Ale Heinessen,
two centuries had passed.
Copy !req
274. Once the roots of republican
democracy get pulled out...
Copy !req
275. it'll be more difficult
for them to grow again.
Copy !req
276. Even though it might
take several centuries...
Copy !req
277. I want to lighten the burden of
the next generation somewhat.
Copy !req
278. When you talk about the next generation,
you're referring to, for example, Julian?
Copy !req
279. Julian is one
of them, certainly.
Copy !req
280. Julian has many talents.
Copy !req
281. Having been around him for the past
few months, I honestly realize that.
Copy !req
282. But, Yang, even though Julian sings
with a great voice, at the moment...
Copy !req
283. it's limited only to when
he's dancing to your tune.
Copy !req
284. I'm sure you know
that, of course.
Copy !req
285. A student who is too loyal to his master
has no chance of surpassing that master.
Copy !req
286. To tell you the truth, there was
something that bothered me a little.
Copy !req
287. About the aforementioned
disk from the Terraists...
Copy !req
288. Julian never attempted
to analyze it himself.
Copy !req
289. He sealed it and delivered it to you;
and he left all judgment up to you.
Copy !req
290. Though it's beyond reproach
as a sign of loyalty...
Copy !req
291. if I were him, I would've
taken a look at it myself.
Copy !req
292. That way, even if I lost the
disk, it'll remain in my memory.
Copy !req
293. Plus, at least in one field,
I'd have more expertise than you do.
Copy !req
294. Julian should have
a more mutinous spirit.
Copy !req
295. A mutinous spirit
is the source of independence.
Copy !req
296. That's a great line,
but did you tell him directly?
Copy !req
297. How can I say
such embarrassing stuff?
Copy !req
298. All right then, I don't know how well I can
fulfill your expectations, but I'll give it a try.
Copy !req
299. See you later.
Copy !req
300. It's about the participating members
in the recapture operation of Iserlohn.
Copy !req
301. I thought I left you in charge
of the personnel decision.
Copy !req
302. Right.
Copy !req
303. I've been inviting applicants
based on their preferences...
Copy !req
304. but Julian
is volunteering.
Copy !req
305. What should I do?
Copy !req
306. It's up to his preference and the
assessment of his abilities, I suppose.
Copy !req
307. There's no problem
on either count...
Copy !req
308. but since you're staying behind, I thought
you might like to have him beside you.
Copy !req
309. Your thoughts are...?
Copy !req
310. As the field commander,
do as you please.
Copy !req
311. All right, then.
Copy !req
312. So long, Admiral.
Copy !req
313. Was that okay with you?
Copy !req
314. Well...
Copy !req
315. Julian lacks a
mutinous spirit.
Copy !req
316. Oh, you're Admiral Attenborough
of the "sitting-out" group.
Copy !req
317. I'm envious
of your status...
Copy !req
318. that allows you to sit back and watch
our courageous actions from afar.
Copy !req
319. Lt. General Schenkopp,
did you know?
Copy !req
320. There's a low-ranking female in her
teens named Katerose von Kreuzer...
Copy !req
321. among the list of applicants.
Copy !req
322. Is she a beauty?
Copy !req
323. Why do you ask?
Copy !req
324. If she's beautiful,
she must be my daughter.
Copy !req
325. If not, she's someone
else with the same name.
Copy !req
326. She's beautiful.
Copy !req
327. Thus, the recapture operation
of Iserlohn Fortress was initiated...
Copy !req
328. along with many
people's various feelings.
Copy !req
329. Around the same time, a fleet also
was launched from Planet Heinessen.
Copy !req
