1. D-YFI@AniDB

2. OF THE

3. New Year's Day of Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2...

4. was welcomed by the Imperial fleet as they penetrated ever deeper into Alliance territory.

5. Even though the year has turned, the situation has yet to be resolved.

6. While we have advanced this far without significant resistance...

7. there probably will be at least one systematic attack from the opposition.

8. They will most likely attempt one last desperate attack without regard to their lives.

9. After defeating it, we will conquer the Alliance capital, Heinessen...

10. Brunhild Captain

11. Commodore Seidlitz

12. and declare the total extinction of the Alliance.

13. And we shall have a formal party to celebrate the New Year...

14. after we establish complete control over Heinessen.

15. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!

16. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!

17. Sieg Kaiser Reinhard!

18. Prosit!

19. Prosit!

20. Battleship - Shiva

21. That same New Year's Day, the Iserlohn Capture Fleet, led by Admiral Merkatz...

22. welcomed it in one corner of the Iserlohn Corridor.

23. No matter how difficult our situation, I guess we don't forget to hold parties.

24. Iserlohn Fortress won't run away, so let's toast the New Year now.

25. For a change, Poplan says something right.

26. No, no, no. Let's drink up and not worry about it.

27. Commander, can I have some, too?

28. Oh, you're taking me up on my challenge?

29. You're good.

30. It's like letting an elephant drink.

31. Judging from your facial expression, I guess you know, don't you?

32. About what?

33. That Karin's father is that middle-aged delinquent, Uncle Schenkopp.

34. When the war ends, it would be really boring, but...

35. I'm thinking about becoming a life affairs counselor for all the good boys and girls.

36. Because of my personal virtues, I gain trust from younger people.

37. She consulted you...

38. So what are your thoughts about it?

39. Well, that made me conclude: the outcome of our battle has finally been decided!

40. I distribute my seeds but don't make the mistake of letting them come to fruition.

41. Don't you think?

42. I see there are lots of problems.

43. From my perspective, the issue isn't that Karin is unhappy.

44. It's that Karin believes she's unhappy.

45. Is that right?

46. That's why she doesn't even try to see or talk to him.

47. That doesn't look good.

48. I told her, "Go meet him and demand fifteen years worth of pocket money."

49. Iserlohn Fortress

50. On the next day, January 2nd...

51. the Recapture Operation of Iserlohn Fortress was covertly launched.

52. There's been a message from Imperial Fleet Supreme Headquarters:

53. "The Iserlohn Stationed Fleet..."

54. "... is hereby ordered to immediately launch from Iserlohn Fortress...

55. "... and advance to the rear of the Alliance capital, Heinessen."

56. That's all.

57. High Admiral Cornelius Lutz

58. It's finally come.

59. Admiral, it's time!

60. Was the order from Supreme Headquarters an encoded message?

61. Yes, sir.

62. Is there a problem?

63. Admiral...

64. No, I'm probably thinking too much.

65. Order all troops to prepare for launch immediately.

66. Yes, sir!

67. The following day, January 3rd, Lutz received another order...

68. which conflicted with the initial one.

69. "The duty of the Lutz Fleet is to staunchly defend Iserlohn Fortress."

70. "The sortie is not approved."

71. "Yang Wenli often employs fraudulent tricks."

72. "Also, there are Alliance and Phezzani sympathizers hidden inside the Fortress...

73. "... and there is a chance that they might take over the Fortress..."

74. "... and seal the Corridor once the stationed fleet leaves."

75. "I repeat my order: Don't move."

76. It's the opposite of the order from yesterday!

77. Admiral, this is...

78. Either one could be a fake order, but which one should we trust?

79. It's a post script to the present order.

80. "In relation to the present order..."

81. "... there appears to be those who are committing dishonest actions..."

82. "... who have been taken advantage of by Phezzani because of it..."

83. "... and are attempting to weaken the Fortress from within."

84. "Conduct an investigation immediately."

85. Admiral...!

86. In any case, we'll suspend the sortie for now.

87. In the meantime, we'll conduct an internal investigation immediately.

88. Yes, sir!

89. Since there are over one million soldiers in Iserlohn Fortress...

90. the number of those who commit dishonest actions cannot be zero.

91. A double-digit number of corruption cases were discovered...

92. and dozens of soldiers were arrested by the military police.

93. As we thought, it was right.

94. Our honorable Kaiser is truly perceptive.

95. In other words, it would be His Majesty's intention for us to defend the Fortress.

96. We nearly fell for Yang Wenli's trick.

97. We shouldn't make a move.

98. Cancel the sortie order for the fleet.

99. Admiral, there was another message from Supreme Headquarters.

100. Huh?

101. It says...

102. Read it.

103. Yes, sir.

104. "Admiral Lutz, why haven't you launched yet?"

105. "Leave only a portion of your defensive units at the Fortress..."

106. "... and head for Heinessen with your fleet."

107. What a petty trick. I won't fall for such a move.

108. We will keep to the true order and defend the Fortress.

109. On January 7th, the fifth order came.

110. The Iserlohn stationed fleet is not moving!

111. Captain Bagdashu

112. In truth, the fifth order was the first authentic order from Kaiser Reinhard.

113. It's worked!

114. The opposition in the Fortress has weighed the two conflicting orders...

115. and they seem to believe that the order for the sortie is the false one.

116. It doesn't seem they'll be moving, even upon the sortie order from the Kaiser.

117. What a swindle.

118. Yeah, someone who cooks up stuff like this isn't a magician, he should be called a swindler.

119. Even so, it's a swindle that risks our lives.

120. Can't you be a little bit more excited about it?

121. Captain Bagdashu is sure excited, isn't he?

122. Intelligence warfare is his specialty.

123. It looks like he's finally regained his original niche.

124. In other words, he's a partner of the swindler.

125. What?

126. Lutz hasn't launched?

127. Why isn't Lutz moving?

128. Is he ignoring my order?

129. Your Majesty, this might be the result of Yang Wenli's trickery.

130. Imperial High Adjutant

131. Vice Admiral Arthur von Streit

132. Could it be that there's a reason why Admiral Lutz is being held up there?

133. Trickery?

134. What benefit would Yang Wenli gain by the fact that Lutz doesn't depart from Iserlohn?

135. I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

136. With my meager intellect, I cannot fathom the reason.

137. Your Majesty, the fact that Admiral Lutz won't leave Iserlohn Fortress...

138. certainly does not suit Fleet Admiral Yang Wenli's interests.

139. In that case, I would think it would be best to leave it as is.

140. If it benefits our forces in the end...

141. Admiral Lutz's temporary disobedience shouldn't need to be punished.

142. I see reason in the Fraulein's position.

143. But if Yang Wenli is roaming about...

144. it's all the more reason to have Lutz launch and place him in a mobile attack position...

145. to keep Yang's movements in check.

146. Repeat the launch order to Lutz.

147. Yes, sir.

148. At that moment, Kaiser Reinhard had his doubts also...

149. and as a result, the sortie order to Lutz was not strictly enforced.

150. Also, on January 8th, an Alliance fleet of more than 1,000 ships appeared...

151. and showed movements meant to cut off the Black Lancers advanced fleet.

152. It cannot be denied that, because of it, his attention to the Iserlohn matter faded away.

153. Should we rout them?

154. There must be an Alliance main fleet behind them.

155. You're right.

156. We should intentionally avoid a battle here, shouldn't we?

157. Yes, Your Majesty.

158. But if it's a feint, they may have the intention of sealing off a withdrawal.

159. May I suggest urging the rear-echelon Muller Fleet to take extra caution?

160. Right.

161. Chief Commander Mittermeyer has requested a temporary halt to fleet movements...

162. in order to conduct intelligence collection with reconnaissance ships.

163. Mittermeyer also feels that the enemy's main fleet is near, it seems.

164. Very well.

165. Order all fleets to assemble.

166. Yes, sir.

167. Imperial Fleet Enforcer Reconnaissance Ship

168. Based on the intelligence that discovered the Alliance forces...

169. commanded by Fleet Admiral Alexandor Bucock, numbered about 20,000 ships...

170. Reinhard's attention naturally shifted to thoughts...

171. about what kind of tactics the Alliance fleet would employ.

172. At the same time...

173. Kaiser Reinhard's second order was also ignored as a fake order at Iserlohn Fortress.

174. Enforce Scout-type "Spartanian"

175. Iserlohn stationed fleet, still not moving!

176. Let's give it a final blow.

177. "If you intend to disobey my orders and not launch..."

178. "... I will hold you accountable for your crime after I annihilate the entire Alliance fleet."

179. Admiral...

180. Admiral, I wonder if perhaps we should actually launch.

181. But if we don't know which one is the authentic order...

182. Usually, when there are two conflicting orders...

183. we'd think one is authentic and the other is a fake, right?

184. They don't realize that they were receiving two fake orders from the beginning.

185. They must be really confused by now.

186. If there's someone who can see through Bagdashu's disorderly array of orders...

187. he must be...

188. insane.

189. I see.

190. Yang Wenli is trying to lure us out of the Fortress...

191. and rob the emptied castle while we're away.

192. Come to think of it, he used the same scheme when he captured Iserlohn the first time.

193. Then...

194. No matter how clever the scheme is...

195. the fact that he's using it twice...

196. seems to indicate that the spring of Yang Wenli's intellect is drying up.

197. Give an order to all personnel.

198. We will launch with all forces.

199. Admiral, if we launch, won't we be falling for his trap?

200. Even if it is the Kaiser's order to launch...

201. I humbly submit to you that we should defend the Fortress and not make a move.

202. Even if we temporarily suffer the displeasure of His Majesty...

203. as long as we have Iserlohn Fortress...

204. we can always join forces with His Majesty's fleet and trample Alliance territory at will.

205. Your suggestion is sensible.

206. I, too, think that the launch order is a false command sent from Yang Wenli.

207. Knowing it, you'll...

208. Yes, I'll launch with all forces.

209. To make Yang think I've fallen for his trap.

210. But we're the ones who will entrap him.

211. You mean... ?

212. If our fleet departs, the Yang Fleet, which is hiding someplace in the Corridor...

213. will take advantage of the opportunity and close in on the Fortress.

214. At the right time, I will turn our fleet around...

215. and push the Yang Fleet inside the effective range of the Thor Hammer.

216. We'll pincer-attack them from there.

217. In this way, we'll be able to destroy them at will.

218. Sages drown in their intellect.

219. Yang Wenli's calendar has few days left.

220. On January 12th, Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2...

221. the Lutz Fleet left Iserlohn Fortress.

222. On the next day, the 13th...

223. that movement was discovered by the Iserlohn Recapture Troops.

224. The Lutz Fleet has launched from Iserlohn Fortress.

225. Its number counts approximately 15,000 ships.

226. That's essentially the entire stationed fleet.

227. We did it!

228. They fell for it!

229. It'll be a piece of cake!

230. Our victory is all but guaranteed!

231. Hey, this is for a celebration in advance.

232. Please.

233. We've entrapped Lutz, but Lutz probably thinks he entrapped us, too.

234. Lutz is a renowned tactician...

235. and his fleet outnumbers us by about ten times.

236. Unless we seize control of the Fortress before his fleet returns and encircles us...

237. our window of opportunity will be closed for good.

238. We will initiate the operation at once.

239. Lt. General Schenkopp, I ask you to take field command.

240. I acknowledge your order, for your peace.

241. This operation can't be executed until the stationed fleet departs the Fortress.

242. Lutz is a brilliant admiral.

243. Even if the Kaiser orders him to launch from Iserlohn Fortress...

244. he may ask him to reconsider and may not budge.

245. Captain Kasper Linz

246. So we'll let him see our scheme from the beginning.

247. Commander Linier Blumehart

248. And we'll make him want to lure us to the Fortress to entrap us.

249. In order for him to trap us, he'll have to maintain a certain distance from the fortress...

250. which will make it easier for our plan to succeed.

251. This might seem like a bit too much trickery, but there's no chance for victory...

252. if we fight an enemy with a large fleet and an impregnable fortress head on.

253. We've discovered the enemy fleet, at 6 o'clock, distance, 80,000 kilometers.

254. They're closing in on Iserlohn Fortress.

255. They've fallen for the trap. All ships, swiftly come about!

256. We'll return to Iserlohn Fortress immediately!

257. "For health and beauty, take a cup of tea after a meal."

258. There.

259. The enemy fleet is now within range of the Fortress main cannon.

260. Why?

261. Why aren't they firing the Thor Hammer?

262. The Thor Hammer is...

263. No, it's not operating!

264. The floating platforms aren't responding!

265. That can't be happening!

266. We've lost control of the magnetic structure!

267. The automatic defense system isn't taking commands!

268. Admiral, it's not working.

269. Because of the code that the enemy sent through the comm channels...

270. all computers have been neutralized!

271. This... must be the "souvenir" from Yang Wenli!

272. Override the computer and shift it to manual control.

273. Fire the Thor Hammer at all costs!

274. I... it's impossible!

275. There must be some other password to unseal the lockout.

276. The enemy is charging inside!

277. Close the gates!

278. Don't let them inside!

279. We can't do it!

280. It'll be close combat!

281. All personnel, to first-class combat alert stations!

282. The time limit before the Lutz Fleet returns is about five hours.

283. Unless we seize the fortress defense system within five hours...

284. our chance for victory will all but vanish.

285. Moreover, the defense units of the Fortress alone probably outnumber us greatly.

286. Just like always.

287. We have to do it.

288. We're going in!

289. Here's the welcoming party.

290. Let's go, Julian.

291. Okay.

292. The enemy soldiers are invading!

293. Hold them off!

294. When the fleet returns, we'll be victorious!

295. Commander!

296. This isn't fun at all.

297. What isn't?

298. Well, on Earth and here...

299. I've been forced to get used to fighting with my feet on the ground.

300. What's more disgusting than that?

301. They're formidable!

302. Alright.

303. Die!

304. You're still not good enough.

305. R... Rosen Ritter...!

306. R... Rosen Ritter...?

307. Let's go!

308. Retreat!

309. Retreat!

310. It's just ahead!

311. The enemy has seized the 4th Reserve Control Room.

312. Why such a place...?

313. I don't know.

314. It's our fleet!

315. Our fleet has returned!

316. They've returned...

317. Unlock the Thor Hammer!

318. "One cup of Russian tea..."

319. "... not with jam, not with marmalade..."

320. "... but with honey."

321. Admiral, the computer is...

322. Admiral, that's...!

323. No, retreat!

324. All ships, reverse course!

325. Get out of the Thor Hammer's firing range quickly!

326. Charge it up!

327. Fire!

328. Fools! Don't bunch up!

329. Scatter!

330. Battleship Luitebolt, no further communication!

331. Battleship Trittenheim, no response!

332. All ships, retreat outside firing range.

333. Continue to report damage.

334. The Thor Hammer also shattered the morale of the Imperial troops.

335. The Fortress defense units were still supposedly superior in terms of numbers...

336. but they retreated or surrendered one by one.

337. During the battle, the date changed, and on the next day, January 14th, at 00:45...

338. the Imperial Fleet finally proposed the evacuation of the Fortress.

339. I demand the safe evacuation of my subordinates.

340. If you don't accept this demand...

341. I will not hesitate to resist to the end and destroy the Fortress.

342. As Admiral Yang's deputy, what will you do?

343. Naturally, we should accept.

344. Wait, don't respond immediately. In a negotiation, bargaining is important.

345. Julian promised a response in 15 minutes, but in the end, he sent a response after 7 minutes.

346. I don't think there's any need for further casualties.

347. I'm sure there are many wounded who will survive if they get treatment soon.

348. Admiral, please get some rest.

349. This truly is a new hope.

350. On January 14th, Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2...

351. Iserlohn Fortress was once again in Yang Wenli's hands.

352. It was about a year after their reluctant renouncement.
