3. OF THE
Copy !req
4. GALACTIC HEROES
Copy !req
5. New Year's Day of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...
Copy !req
6. was welcomed by the Imperial fleet as they
penetrated ever deeper into Alliance territory.
Copy !req
7. Even though the year has turned,
the situation has yet to be resolved.
Copy !req
8. While we have advanced this far
without significant resistance...
Copy !req
9. there probably will be at least one
systematic attack from the opposition.
Copy !req
10. They will most likely attempt one last
desperate attack without regard to their lives.
Copy !req
11. After defeating it, we will conquer
the Alliance capital, Heinessen...
Copy !req
12. Brunhild Captain
Copy !req
13. Commodore Seidlitz
Copy !req
14. and declare the total
extinction of the Alliance.
Copy !req
15. And we shall have a formal party
to celebrate the New Year...
Copy !req
16. after we establish complete
control over Heinessen.
Copy !req
17. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!
Copy !req
18. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!
Copy !req
19. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!
Copy !req
20. Prosit!
Copy !req
21. Prosit!
Copy !req
22. Battleship - Shiva
Copy !req
23. That same New Year's Day, the Iserlohn
Capture Fleet, led by Admiral Merkatz...
Copy !req
24. welcomed it in one corner
of the Iserlohn Corridor.
Copy !req
25. No matter how difficult our situation,
I guess we don't forget to hold parties.
Copy !req
26. Iserlohn Fortress won't run away,
so let's toast the New Year now.
Copy !req
27. For a change,
Poplan says something right.
Copy !req
28. No, no, no. Let's drink up
and not worry about it.
Copy !req
29. Commander, can
I have some, too?
Copy !req
30. Oh, you're taking me
up on my challenge?
Copy !req
31. You're good.
Copy !req
32. It's like letting
an elephant drink.
Copy !req
33. Judging from your facial expression,
I guess you know, don't you?
Copy !req
34. About what?
Copy !req
35. That Karin's father is that middle-aged
delinquent, Uncle Schenkopp.
Copy !req
36. When the war ends, it would
be really boring, but...
Copy !req
37. I'm thinking about becoming a life affairs
counselor for all the good boys and girls.
Copy !req
38. Because of my personal virtues,
I gain trust from younger people.
Copy !req
39. She consulted you...
Copy !req
40. So what are your
thoughts about it?
Copy !req
41. Well, that made me conclude: the outcome
of our battle has finally been decided!
Copy !req
42. I distribute my seeds but don't make the
mistake of letting them come to fruition.
Copy !req
43. Don't you think?
Copy !req
44. I see there are
lots of problems.
Copy !req
45. From my perspective, the issue
isn't that Karin is unhappy.
Copy !req
46. It's that Karin
believes she's unhappy.
Copy !req
47. Is that right?
Copy !req
48. That's why she doesn't even
try to see or talk to him.
Copy !req
49. That doesn't look good.
Copy !req
50. I told her, "Go meet him and demand
fifteen years worth of pocket money."
Copy !req
51. Iserlohn Fortress
Copy !req
52. On the next day,
January 2nd...
Copy !req
53. the Recapture Operation of Iserlohn
Fortress was covertly launched.
Copy !req
54. There's been a message from Imperial
Fleet Supreme Headquarters:
Copy !req
55. "The Iserlohn Stationed Fleet..."
Copy !req
56. "... is hereby ordered to immediately
launch from Iserlohn Fortress...
Copy !req
57. "... and advance to the rear of
the Alliance capital, Heinessen."
Copy !req
58. That's all.
Copy !req
59. High Admiral Cornelius Lutz
Copy !req
60. It's finally come.
Copy !req
61. Admiral, it's time!
Copy !req
62. Was the order from Supreme
Headquarters an encoded message?
Copy !req
63. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
64. Is there a problem?
Copy !req
65. Admiral...
Copy !req
66. No, I'm probably
thinking too much.
Copy !req
67. Order all troops to prepare
for launch immediately.
Copy !req
68. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
69. The following day, January 3rd,
Lutz received another order...
Copy !req
70. which conflicted with
the initial one.
Copy !req
71. "The duty of the Lutz Fleet is to
staunchly defend Iserlohn Fortress."
Copy !req
72. "The sortie
is not approved."
Copy !req
73. "Yang Wenli often
employs fraudulent tricks."
Copy !req
74. "Also, there are Alliance and Phezzani
sympathizers hidden inside the Fortress...
Copy !req
75. "... and there is a chance that they
might take over the Fortress..."
Copy !req
76. "... and seal the Corridor once
the stationed fleet leaves."
Copy !req
77. "I repeat my order:
Don't move."
Copy !req
78. It's the opposite of the
order from yesterday!
Copy !req
79. Admiral, this is...
Copy !req
80. Either one could be a fake order,
but which one should we trust?
Copy !req
81. It's a post script
to the present order.
Copy !req
82. "In relation to
the present order..."
Copy !req
83. "... there appears to be those who
are committing dishonest actions..."
Copy !req
84. "... who have been taken advantage
of by Phezzani because of it..."
Copy !req
85. "... and are attempting to weaken
the Fortress from within."
Copy !req
86. "Conduct an
investigation immediately."
Copy !req
87. Admiral...!
Copy !req
88. In any case, we'll suspend
the sortie for now.
Copy !req
89. In the meantime, we'll conduct an
internal investigation immediately.
Copy !req
90. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
91. Since there are over one million
soldiers in Iserlohn Fortress...
Copy !req
92. the number of those who commit
dishonest actions cannot be zero.
Copy !req
93. A double-digit number of corruption
cases were discovered...
Copy !req
94. and dozens of soldiers were
arrested by the military police.
Copy !req
95. As we thought,
it was right.
Copy !req
96. Our honorable Kaiser
is truly perceptive.
Copy !req
97. In other words, it would be His Majesty's
intention for us to defend the Fortress.
Copy !req
98. We nearly fell for
Yang Wenli's trick.
Copy !req
99. We shouldn't make a move.
Copy !req
100. Cancel the sortie
order for the fleet.
Copy !req
101. Admiral, there was another message
from Supreme Headquarters.
Copy !req
102. Huh?
Copy !req
103. It says...
Copy !req
104. Read it.
Copy !req
105. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
106. "Admiral Lutz, why
haven't you launched yet?"
Copy !req
107. "Leave only a portion of your
defensive units at the Fortress..."
Copy !req
108. "... and head for Heinessen
with your fleet."
Copy !req
109. What a petty trick.
I won't fall for such a move.
Copy !req
110. We will keep to the true
order and defend the Fortress.
Copy !req
111. On January 7th,
the fifth order came.
Copy !req
112. The Iserlohn stationed
fleet is not moving!
Copy !req
113. Captain Bagdashu
Copy !req
114. In truth, the fifth order was the first
authentic order from Kaiser Reinhard.
Copy !req
115. It's worked!
Copy !req
116. The opposition in the Fortress has
weighed the two conflicting orders...
Copy !req
117. and they seem to believe that the
order for the sortie is the false one.
Copy !req
118. It doesn't seem they'll be moving, even
upon the sortie order from the Kaiser.
Copy !req
119. What a swindle.
Copy !req
120. Yeah, someone who cooks up stuff like this isn't a magician, he should be called a swindler.
Copy !req
121. Even so, it's a swindle
that risks our lives.
Copy !req
122. Can't you be a little bit
more excited about it?
Copy !req
123. Captain Bagdashu is
sure excited, isn't he?
Copy !req
124. Intelligence warfare
is his specialty.
Copy !req
125. It looks like he's finally
regained his original niche.
Copy !req
126. In other words, he's a
partner of the swindler.
Copy !req
127. What?
Copy !req
128. Lutz hasn't launched?
Copy !req
129. Why isn't Lutz moving?
Copy !req
130. Is he ignoring my order?
Copy !req
131. Your Majesty, this might be the
result of Yang Wenli's trickery.
Copy !req
132. Imperial High Adjutant
Copy !req
133. Vice Admiral Arthur von Streit
Copy !req
134. Could it be that there's a reason why Admiral Lutz is being held up there?
Copy !req
135. Trickery?
Copy !req
136. What benefit would Yang Wenli gain by the
fact that Lutz doesn't depart from Iserlohn?
Copy !req
137. I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
138. With my meager intellect,
I cannot fathom the reason.
Copy !req
139. Your Majesty, the fact that Admiral
Lutz won't leave Iserlohn Fortress...
Copy !req
140. certainly does not suit
Fleet Admiral Yang Wenli's interests.
Copy !req
141. In that case, I would think it
would be best to leave it as is.
Copy !req
142. If it benefits our
forces in the end...
Copy !req
143. Admiral Lutz's temporary disobedience
shouldn't need to be punished.
Copy !req
144. I see reason in
the Fraulein's position.
Copy !req
145. But if Yang Wenli
is roaming about...
Copy !req
146. it's all the more reason to have Lutz launch
and place him in a mobile attack position...
Copy !req
147. to keep Yang's
movements in check.
Copy !req
148. Repeat the launch order to Lutz.
Copy !req
149. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
150. At that moment, Kaiser Reinhard
had his doubts also...
Copy !req
151. and as a result, the sortie order
to Lutz was not strictly enforced.
Copy !req
152. Also, on January 8th, an Alliance fleet
of more than 1,000 ships appeared...
Copy !req
153. and showed movements meant to
cut off the Black Lancers advanced fleet.
Copy !req
154. It cannot be denied that, because of it, his
attention to the Iserlohn matter faded away.
Copy !req
155. Should we rout them?
Copy !req
156. There must be an Alliance
main fleet behind them.
Copy !req
157. You're right.
Copy !req
158. We should intentionally avoid
a battle here, shouldn't we?
Copy !req
159. Yes, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
160. But if it's a feint, they may have the
intention of sealing off a withdrawal.
Copy !req
161. May I suggest urging the rear-echelon
Muller Fleet to take extra caution?
Copy !req
162. Right.
Copy !req
163. Chief Commander Mittermeyer has requested
a temporary halt to fleet movements...
Copy !req
164. in order to conduct intelligence
collection with reconnaissance ships.
Copy !req
165. Mittermeyer also feels that the
enemy's main fleet is near, it seems.
Copy !req
166. Very well.
Copy !req
167. Order all fleets to assemble.
Copy !req
168. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
169. Imperial Fleet Enforcer Reconnaissance Ship
Copy !req
170. Based on the intelligence that
discovered the Alliance forces...
Copy !req
171. commanded by Fleet Admiral Alexandor
Bucock, numbered about 20,000 ships...
Copy !req
172. Reinhard's attention naturally
shifted to thoughts...
Copy !req
173. about what kind of tactics the
Alliance fleet would employ.
Copy !req
174. At the same time...
Copy !req
175. Kaiser Reinhard's second order was also
ignored as a fake order at Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
176. Enforce Scout-type "Spartanian"
Copy !req
177. Iserlohn stationed fleet,
still not moving!
Copy !req
178. Let's give it a final blow.
Copy !req
179. "If you intend to disobey
my orders and not launch..."
Copy !req
180. "... I will hold you accountable for your crime
after I annihilate the entire Alliance fleet."
Copy !req
181. Admiral...
Copy !req
182. Admiral, I wonder if perhaps
we should actually launch.
Copy !req
183. But if we don't know which
one is the authentic order...
Copy !req
184. Usually, when there are
two conflicting orders...
Copy !req
185. we'd think one is authentic
and the other is a fake, right?
Copy !req
186. They don't realize that they were receiving
two fake orders from the beginning.
Copy !req
187. They must be really
confused by now.
Copy !req
188. If there's someone who can see through
Bagdashu's disorderly array of orders...
Copy !req
189. he must be...
Copy !req
190. insane.
Copy !req
191. I see.
Copy !req
192. Yang Wenli is trying to lure
us out of the Fortress...
Copy !req
193. and rob the emptied
castle while we're away.
Copy !req
194. Come to think of it, he used the same scheme
when he captured Iserlohn the first time.
Copy !req
195. Then...
Copy !req
196. No matter how clever
the scheme is...
Copy !req
197. the fact that
he's using it twice...
Copy !req
198. seems to indicate that the spring
of Yang Wenli's intellect is drying up.
Copy !req
199. Give an order
to all personnel.
Copy !req
200. We will launch
with all forces.
Copy !req
201. Admiral, if we launch, won't
we be falling for his trap?
Copy !req
202. Even if it is the
Kaiser's order to launch...
Copy !req
203. I humbly submit to you that we should
defend the Fortress and not make a move.
Copy !req
204. Even if we temporarily suffer the
displeasure of His Majesty...
Copy !req
205. as long as we
have Iserlohn Fortress...
Copy !req
206. we can always join forces with His Majesty's
fleet and trample Alliance territory at will.
Copy !req
207. Your suggestion is sensible.
Copy !req
208. I, too, think that the launch order is a
false command sent from Yang Wenli.
Copy !req
209. Knowing it, you'll...
Copy !req
210. Yes, I'll launch
with all forces.
Copy !req
211. To make Yang think
I've fallen for his trap.
Copy !req
212. But we're the ones
who will entrap him.
Copy !req
213. You mean... ?
Copy !req
214. If our fleet departs, the Yang Fleet,
which is hiding someplace in the Corridor...
Copy !req
215. will take advantage of the opportunity
and close in on the Fortress.
Copy !req
216. At the right time, I will
turn our fleet around...
Copy !req
217. and push the Yang Fleet inside the
effective range of the Thor Hammer.
Copy !req
218. We'll pincer-attack
them from there.
Copy !req
219. In this way, we'll be able
to destroy them at will.
Copy !req
220. Sages drown in
their intellect.
Copy !req
221. Yang Wenli's calendar
has few days left.
Copy !req
222. On January 12th, Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...
Copy !req
223. the Lutz Fleet
left Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
224. On the next day,
the 13th...
Copy !req
225. that movement was discovered
by the Iserlohn Recapture Troops.
Copy !req
226. The Lutz Fleet has launched
from Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
227. Its number counts
approximately 15,000 ships.
Copy !req
228. That's essentially the
entire stationed fleet.
Copy !req
229. We did it!
Copy !req
230. They fell for it!
Copy !req
231. It'll be a piece of cake!
Copy !req
232. Our victory is all
but guaranteed!
Copy !req
233. Hey, this is for a
celebration in advance.
Copy !req
234. Please.
Copy !req
235. We've entrapped Lutz, but Lutz
probably thinks he entrapped us, too.
Copy !req
236. Lutz is a
renowned tactician...
Copy !req
237. and his fleet outnumbers
us by about ten times.
Copy !req
238. Unless we seize control of the Fortress
before his fleet returns and encircles us...
Copy !req
239. our window of opportunity
will be closed for good.
Copy !req
240. We will initiate
the operation at once.
Copy !req
241. Lt. General Schenkopp,
I ask you to take field command.
Copy !req
242. I acknowledge your order,
for your peace.
Copy !req
243. This operation can't be executed until
the stationed fleet departs the Fortress.
Copy !req
244. Lutz is a brilliant admiral.
Copy !req
245. Even if the Kaiser orders him to launch from Iserlohn Fortress...
Copy !req
246. he may ask him to reconsider and may not budge.
Copy !req
247. Captain Kasper Linz
Copy !req
248. So we'll let him see our
scheme from the beginning.
Copy !req
249. Commander Linier Blumehart
Copy !req
250. And we'll make him want to lure
us to the Fortress to entrap us.
Copy !req
251. In order for him to trap us, he'll have to maintain a certain distance from the fortress...
Copy !req
252. which will make it easier
for our plan to succeed.
Copy !req
253. This might seem like a bit too much
trickery, but there's no chance for victory...
Copy !req
254. if we fight an enemy with a large fleet
and an impregnable fortress head on.
Copy !req
255. We've discovered the enemy fleet,
at 6 o'clock, distance, 80,000 kilometers.
Copy !req
256. They're closing in
on Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
257. They've fallen for the trap.
All ships, swiftly come about!
Copy !req
258. We'll return to
Iserlohn Fortress immediately!
Copy !req
259. "For health and beauty,
take a cup of tea after a meal."
Copy !req
260. There.
Copy !req
261. The enemy fleet is now within range
of the Fortress main cannon.
Copy !req
262. Why?
Copy !req
263. Why aren't they firing
the Thor Hammer?
Copy !req
264. The Thor Hammer is...
Copy !req
265. No, it's not operating!
Copy !req
266. The floating platforms
aren't responding!
Copy !req
267. That can't be happening!
Copy !req
268. We've lost control of
the magnetic structure!
Copy !req
269. The automatic defense system
isn't taking commands!
Copy !req
270. Admiral, it's not working.
Copy !req
271. Because of the code that the enemy
sent through the comm channels...
Copy !req
272. all computers have
been neutralized!
Copy !req
273. This... must be the
"souvenir" from Yang Wenli!
Copy !req
274. Override the computer and
shift it to manual control.
Copy !req
275. Fire the Thor Hammer
at all costs!
Copy !req
276. I... it's impossible!
Copy !req
277. There must be some other
password to unseal the lockout.
Copy !req
278. The enemy is charging inside!
Copy !req
279. Close the gates!
Copy !req
280. Don't let them inside!
Copy !req
281. We can't do it!
Copy !req
282. It'll be close combat!
Copy !req
283. All personnel, to first-class
combat alert stations!
Copy !req
284. The time limit before the Lutz
Fleet returns is about five hours.
Copy !req
285. Unless we seize the fortress
defense system within five hours...
Copy !req
286. our chance for victory
will all but vanish.
Copy !req
287. Moreover, the defense units of the Fortress
alone probably outnumber us greatly.
Copy !req
288. Just like always.
Copy !req
289. We have to do it.
Copy !req
290. We're going in!
Copy !req
291. Here's the welcoming party.
Copy !req
292. Let's go, Julian.
Copy !req
293. Okay.
Copy !req
294. The enemy soldiers
are invading!
Copy !req
295. Hold them off!
Copy !req
296. When the fleet returns,
we'll be victorious!
Copy !req
297. Commander!
Copy !req
298. This isn't fun at all.
Copy !req
299. What isn't?
Copy !req
300. Well, on Earth and here...
Copy !req
301. I've been forced to get used to
fighting with my feet on the ground.
Copy !req
302. What's more
disgusting than that?
Copy !req
303. They're formidable!
Copy !req
304. Alright.
Copy !req
305. Die!
Copy !req
306. You're still
not good enough.
Copy !req
307. R... Rosen Ritter...!
Copy !req
308. R... Rosen Ritter...?
Copy !req
309. Let's go!
Copy !req
310. Retreat!
Copy !req
311. Retreat!
Copy !req
312. It's just ahead!
Copy !req
313. The enemy has seized the
4th Reserve Control Room.
Copy !req
314. Why such a place...?
Copy !req
315. I don't know.
Copy !req
316. It's our fleet!
Copy !req
317. Our fleet has returned!
Copy !req
318. They've returned...
Copy !req
319. Unlock the Thor Hammer!
Copy !req
320. "One cup of Russian tea..."
Copy !req
321. "... not with jam,
not with marmalade..."
Copy !req
322. "... but with honey."
Copy !req
323. Admiral, the computer is...
Copy !req
324. Admiral, that's...!
Copy !req
325. No, retreat!
Copy !req
326. All ships, reverse course!
Copy !req
327. Get out of the Thor Hammer's
firing range quickly!
Copy !req
328. Charge it up!
Copy !req
329. Fire!
Copy !req
330. Fools!
Don't bunch up!
Copy !req
331. Scatter!
Copy !req
332. Battleship Luitebolt,
no further communication!
Copy !req
333. Battleship Trittenheim,
no response!
Copy !req
334. All ships, retreat
outside firing range.
Copy !req
335. Continue to report damage.
Copy !req
336. The Thor Hammer also shattered
the morale of the Imperial troops.
Copy !req
337. The Fortress defense units were still
supposedly superior in terms of numbers...
Copy !req
338. but they retreated
or surrendered one by one.
Copy !req
339. During the battle, the date changed, and
on the next day, January 14th, at 00:45...
Copy !req
340. the Imperial Fleet finally proposed
the evacuation of the Fortress.
Copy !req
341. I demand the safe evacuation
of my subordinates.
Copy !req
342. If you don't
accept this demand...
Copy !req
343. I will not hesitate to resist to
the end and destroy the Fortress.
Copy !req
344. As Admiral Yang's deputy,
what will you do?
Copy !req
345. Naturally,
we should accept.
Copy !req
346. Wait, don't respond immediately.
In a negotiation, bargaining is important.
Copy !req
347. Julian promised a response in 15 minutes, but
in the end, he sent a response after 7 minutes.
Copy !req
348. I don't think there's any
need for further casualties.
Copy !req
349. I'm sure there are many wounded who
will survive if they get treatment soon.
Copy !req
350. Admiral, please get some rest.
Copy !req
351. This truly is a new hope.
Copy !req
352. On January 14th, Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...
Copy !req
353. Iserlohn Fortress was once
again in Yang Wenli's hands.
Copy !req
354. It was about a year after
their reluctant renouncement.
Copy !req
355. Preview of Next Episode
