5. Imperial Fleet Supreme Flagship - BrunhildCopy !req
6. Because of enemy interference,
communication with the Iserlohn area...Copy !req
7. as well as with the
Black Lancers, has been blocked.Copy !req
8. According to our intelligence,
the Alliance forces...Copy !req
9. led by Fleet Admiral
Alexandor Bucock...Copy !req
10. appear to possess a fleet numbering approximately 20,000 ships.Copy !req
11. Admiral Bruno von KnapfsteinCopy !req
12. At least they've
gathered a fair number.Copy !req
13. But of course, there shouldn't be
many battleships or carriers...Copy !req
14. and I wonder how many will
be left after the battle.Copy !req
15. Admiral Karl Edward BayerleinCopy !req
16. Then we should do battle
and annihilate them.Copy !req
17. It would dampen
our high spirits...Copy !req
18. with which we aim to unify the universe,
if we hesitate and lose this opportunity.Copy !req
19. Admiral Alfred GrillpalzerCopy !req
20. If we needlessly
waste our time...Copy !req
21. it may allow an opportunity
for Yang Wenli and his group...Copy !req
22. who are in the dire state
of homelessness, to rise again.Copy !req
23. In the Battle of Rantemario last year we missed the chance...Copy !req
24. to completely obliterate the Alliance
forces precisely because he took action.Copy !req
25. Your Majesty, please
order us to battle!Copy !req
26. Reuental and Mittermeyer felt no need to
urge Reinhard to go to battle at this juncture.Copy !req
27. That is because the issue already
was not whether or not to fight...Copy !req
28. but rather where and
how they would fight.Copy !req
29. What kind of tactics will
the Alliance Fleet employ?Copy !req
30. That alone was the focus
of Reinhard's interest.Copy !req
31. Imperial Reconnaissance ShipCopy !req
32. Reinhard received the report...Copy !req
33. that the Alliance forces had deployed
in the "Marr-Adetta" System...Copy !req
34. Marr-Adetta SystemCopy !req
35. on January 13th of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2.Copy !req
36. According to the information from
the Phezzan Navigation Center...Copy !req
37. the entirety of the Marr-Adetta system
forms a rather large asteroid belt.Copy !req
38. Even the largest planet is only
about 120 km in diameter.Copy !req
39. The total number
is incalculable.Copy !req
40. Communications are
difficult to maintain...Copy !req
41. and the fixed-star's winds and
energy winds blow chaotically.Copy !req
42. That old man...Copy !req
43. How clever he is to choose such a
difficult space area for a battle.Copy !req
44. There's one corridor that
spirals through this asteroid belt...Copy !req
45. and the Alliance Fleet is waiting
for us within this tunnel...Copy !req
46. which is 920,000 km
long and 40,000 km wide.Copy !req
47. The intent of the
enemy is obvious.Copy !req
48. This must mean that they're
throwing down the gauntlet.Copy !req
49. That old man is trying to inspire the spirit
of democracy by sacrificing his own life.Copy !req
50. A man who maintains his mettle despite
his old age deserves admiration.Copy !req
51. Your Majesty, there isn't any need for
you to fight a decisive battle yourself.Copy !req
52. Imperial Senior AdjutantCopy !req
53. Vice Admiral Arthur von StreitCopy !req
54. If you send one fleet
to hold off the enemy...Copy !req
55. and dispatch all the other fleets to attack
Heinessen, everything will be settled.Copy !req
56. No matter how much tactical guile or
honor Fleet Admiral Bucock possesses...Copy !req
57. he is merely one admiral who leaves
himself to fate on the battlefield.Copy !req
58. I would think you could
just disregard him.Copy !req
59. Your recommendation
is not unwise.Copy !req
60. But it's a challenge from a battle-tested
old admiral staking his own life.Copy !req
61. It would be discourteous
to not accept it.Copy !req
62. There are
other reasons...Copy !req
63. but for me and for our fleets,
that should be a good enough reason.Copy !req
64. Mittermeyer.Copy !req
65. Yes, sir.Copy !req
66. You will direct
the left wing.Copy !req
67. The right wing will be Eisenach.
The rear guard will be Muller.Copy !req
68. Fahrenheit will wait in the outer
circle of the star-system in reserve.Copy !req
69. And I order Knapfstein and
Grillpalzer to guard the front.Copy !req
70. Yes, sir.Copy !req
71. It is an honor to be given an order
to command the advance guard.Copy !req
72. I will send the renowned Alliance admiral
to an appropriate place for his death.Copy !req
73. A white-haired old admiral
no longer has a place in this era.Copy !req
74. That's easy to say.Copy !req
75. Be careful not to be toyed with by the
one you call "a white-haired old admiral."Copy !req
76. On the next day, January 14th, the Imperial
Fleet entered the Marr-Adetta system.Copy !req
77. At that point, Iserlohn
Fortress had already fallen...Copy !req
78. but that report had not yet
been delivered to Reinhard.Copy !req
79. What do you think
about this battle?Copy !req
80. If there's any meaning to this battle,
it's not in reason, but emotion.Copy !req
81. An old lion and a young
lion both desire a battle.Copy !req
82. Honor will
paint the battle...Copy !req
83. but in the end, the sword that's been drawn
won't be sheathed before it's stained by blood.Copy !req
84. I didn't know until today that
you had the soul of a poet.Copy !req
85. I know it,
and you know it, too...Copy !req
86. that history, like a human being, is
thirsty when it wakes from its slumber.Copy !req
87. The Goldenbaum Dynasty
has already fallen.Copy !req
88. The Free Planets Alliance has survived
till now, but will perish by tomorrow.Copy !req
89. History wants to drink up
an enormous amount of blood.Copy !req
90. Even so, I would think it has
already drunk more than enough.Copy !req
91. Is that so?Copy !req
92. Do you really
think so, Mittermeyer?Copy !req
93. By the hand
of Kaiser Reinhard...Copy !req
94. the universe, which was divided, has been
unified, and peace has been brought to us.Copy !req
95. If the Alliance perishes
tomorrow as you say...Copy !req
96. the morning of the day after tomorrow
will break with the light of peace.Copy !req
97. Otherwise, what we have done and the blood
that's been shed, will all be for nothing.Copy !req
98. You're right.Copy !req
99. But I also wonder.Copy !req
100. Even if history has tired of drinking blood,
that's only in regard to the amount.Copy !req
101. But what about quality?Copy !req
102. The larger the sacrifice is, the more
delighted the cruel gods will be...Copy !req
103. Reuental!Copy !req
104. It looks like I've been playing
a role that's unbecoming to me.Copy !req
105. I'm not a poet or philosopher;
I'm merely a coarse warrior.Copy !req
106. A role like this should have been
left to someone like Mecklinger.Copy !req
107. I'm glad you realize it.Copy !req
108. For now, I'm more interested in understanding
the plans of the enemy we're facing...Copy !req
109. than the thoughts of the God of
History whom we haven't even met.Copy !req
110. Either way, this battle
is essentially a ritual...Copy !req
111. to burn incense for the funeral
procession of the Free Planets Alliance.Copy !req
112. Unless we go through
this formality...Copy !req
113. neither the victors nor the dead will
be able to accept the fact of extinction.Copy !req
114. Free Planets Alliance Fleet Supreme Flagship - Rio GrandeCopy !req
115. Why don't you get some
sleep for today, Admiral?Copy !req
116. I was going to do that,
but since we've decided to fight...Copy !req
117. I want to put up a fight
I can be satisfied with.Copy !req
118. It will turn out fine.Copy !req
119. I don't think Kaiser Reinhard
will be disappointed.Copy !req
120. I hope so.Copy !req
121. But aside from myself, I will be
sending many people to their deaths.Copy !req
122. As belated as it may be,
I regret my sinfulness.Copy !req
123. In your next life,
you should become a doctor.Copy !req
124. That would balance
things out, I think.Copy !req
125. Next life, huh?Copy !req
126. Well, I didn't expect you
to say something like that.Copy !req
127. When I think about it,
I'm probably a fortunate man.Copy !req
128. In the last
phase of my life...Copy !req
129. I was able to meet Reinhard
von Lohengramm and Yang Wenli...Copy !req
130. two incomparably
distinguished strategists.Copy !req
131. And I will be spared from witnessing
the fall of either one of those two.Copy !req
132. And...Copy !req
133. And the sight of the complete extinction
of the Free Planets Alliance, either.Copy !req
134. On January 16th, both fleets
finally crashed into one another.Copy !req
135. Fire!Copy !req
136. Fire!Copy !req
137. 10:30Copy !req
138. Good!Copy !req
139. We'll withdraw while maintaining our
formation, and retreat into the corridor.Copy !req
140. Knapfstein Fleet Flagship - UlfrunCopy !req
141. The enemy is retreating!
Don't let them get away!Copy !req
142. Grillpalzer Fleet Flagship - EistlaCopy !req
143. We'll take advantage of this opportunity
and charge into the corridor.Copy !req
144. Don't fall behind
the Knapfstein Fleet!Copy !req
145. 10:50Copy !req
146. The vanguard, the Grillpalzer Fleet,
has succeeded in entering the corridor.Copy !req
147. Wasn't that too easy?Copy !req
148. Do you think
it's a trap?Copy !req
149. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
150. But to observe the enemy's tactics,
we should let them move freely.Copy !req
151. This is where we
have to stand firm.Copy !req
152. Don't back down
from their firepower.Copy !req
153. How is it?Copy !req
154. I think it's almost time.Copy !req
155. 11:20Copy !req
156. Mittermeyer Fleet Flagship - BeiowolfCopy !req
157. From portside, there will be a
strong wind from the fixed-star.Copy !req
158. What?Copy !req
159. Don't fall
into confusion!Copy !req
160. Maintain the distance between each
ship and reorganize the formation!Copy !req
161. Don't go near
the asteroids!Copy !req
162. The enemy has
clustered together.Copy !req
163. All right.Copy !req
164. Concentrate our
artillery fire!Copy !req
165. What're they doing?Copy !req
166. As things stand, we'll merely
waste our war potential!Copy !req
167. Withdraw and drag out
the enemy instead!Copy !req
168. We have no choice;
we'll retreat!Copy !req
169. We can't manuever in a
narrow corridor like this!Copy !req
170. Rear Admiral SchleicherCopy !req
171. Grillpalzer's Chief Staff OfficerCopy !req
172. But the enemy's
artillery fire is relentless.Copy !req
173. Withdrawal will be an extremely
difficult act to pull off.Copy !req
174. We'll have to be resigned to
suffering a certain amount of damage.Copy !req
175. The second wave is coming!Copy !req
176. Don't fall out
of fleet formation!Copy !req
177. If we fall into disarray,
we'll suffer that much more damage.Copy !req
178. The enemy fleet has
evacuated the corridor!Copy !req
179. All ships, halt.Copy !req
180. No need to pursue them.Copy !req
181. All ships, disperse and
half-envelop the corridor exit!Copy !req
182. We'll pound on them when
they come out of the corridor!Copy !req
183. How much damage?Copy !req
184. About 70% of the fleet
was able to evacuate.Copy !req
185. Don't think I'll let them
get away with this.Copy !req
186. I see, Grillpalzer took a
counterattack formation right away.Copy !req
187. I think that's
impressive, but...Copy !req
188. The problem is whether or
not the enemy will come out.Copy !req
189. Dammit. They're not
coming after us...!Copy !req
190. The enemy can manage to maintain
the upper hand in that narrow corridor...Copy !req
191. but is aware that once
they come outside...Copy !req
192. they'll only be encircled and
annihilated by a larger force.Copy !req
193. It looks like it's
going to be troublesome.Copy !req
194. 12:10Copy !req
195. Call up Fahrenheit.Copy !req
196. Have Grillpalzer
withdraw for now.Copy !req
197. Yes, sir.Copy !req
198. With your fleet, chase the
old tiger out of the cave.Copy !req
199. Yes, sir.Copy !req
200. We'll divert the enemy's attention
away from Fahrenheit's movements.Copy !req
201. Then we'll move Knapfstein.Copy !req
202. Right.Copy !req
203. 13:00Copy !req
204. I feel sorry for Grillpalzer; since he went
ahead, he drew the unlucky number.Copy !req
205. But because of it, the important
mission is left up to me.Copy !req
206. Well, let's see
how it goes.Copy !req
207. What?Copy !req
208. All ships,
don't cluster together!Copy !req
209. Well, they're more
persistent than I thought.Copy !req
210. Knapfstein is putting
up a good effort...Copy !req
211. but the difference in experience
seems too large to make up.Copy !req
212. Bayerlein, we don't want
that old man to die, do we?Copy !req
213. Even though he's an enemy,
he's quite deserving of our respect.Copy !req
214. I agree, but even if we advise
him to surrender, I doubt he will.Copy !req
215. Speaking for myself, too...Copy !req
216. even if I were defeated, I wouldn't think
of changing the flag to which I'm loyal.Copy !req
217. Yeah...Copy !req
218. I understand your position, but
refrain from speaking of it out loud.Copy !req
219. What?Copy !req
220. Some people choose to live the way
Fahrenheit or Streit chose to...Copy !req
221. and that is not
something to be denounced.Copy !req
222. Right, sir.
I was being thoughtless.Copy !req
223. Either way, we know that the Alliance
is putting up an admirable fight...Copy !req
224. even discounting the
geographical advantage they have.Copy !req
225. That Alliance fleet, they're
making things interesting.Copy !req
226. Eventually, we'll need to send reinforcements,
but will the Eisenach Fleet do?Copy !req
227. Yeah, I'll leave
it up to you.Copy !req
228. Fahrenheit Fleet Flagship - AhsgrimmCopy !req
229. In the front area, we've detected the
presence of enemy ships inside the corridor.Copy !req
230. All ships, commence fire!Copy !req
231. The enemy to the
rear is charging in.Copy !req
232. All right.Copy !req
233. All ships,
come about immediately!Copy !req
234. No, wait!
All ships, halt!Copy !req
235. Commander SandersCopy !req
236. Admiral?Copy !req
237. This is a trap.Copy !req
238. They're planning to reverse-charge
through the corridor as soon as we enter it.Copy !req
239. Fahrenheit's Chief Staff OfficerCopy !req
240. Vice Admiral BuxtehudeCopy !req
241. Then...?Copy !req
242. All ships, withdraw at once.Copy !req
243. We'll retreat and encircle
the corridor exit.Copy !req
244. Once the enemy comes outside, we'll
decimate them with zero-distance fire.Copy !req
245. Hurry!Copy !req
246. 16:15Copy !req
247. The enemy fleet is retreating
deeper inside the corridor!Copy !req
248. All right.Copy !req
249. Don't let this
chance get away.Copy !req
250. We'll charge right in!Copy !req
251. Reuental.Copy !req
252. Yes, sir.Copy !req
253. What do you think?Copy !req
254. Following the enemy's withdrawal, Knapfstein
is charging deeper into the corridor, but...?Copy !req
255. Entering it is fine, but the issue is
whether or not he can get through it.Copy !req
256. And your reasons are?Copy !req
257. If I were in charge...Copy !req
258. I would deploy mines inside the corridor
and stop the advance of the enemy with them.Copy !req
259. I agree.Copy !req
260. In retrospect, we could have
used that strategy ourselves.Copy !req
261. There's a mine cluster
in the area ahead of us!Copy !req
262. Rear Admiral WeisenhutterCopy !req
263. They're heat-reactive
automatic types.Copy !req
264. Dammit!
All ships, halt.Copy !req
265. No!Copy !req
266. Withdraw!Copy !req
267. All ships,
evacuate the corridor!Copy !req
268. We have no choice; we'll
have to shoot them down.Copy !req
269. Deploy a curtain fire and prevent
the mines from getting near us!Copy !req
270. 16:20Copy !req
271. We've detected
the enemy presence!Copy !req
272. Fire!Copy !req
273. What?Copy !req
274. Battleship - DiomedesCopy !req
275. Vice Admiral Ralph CarlsenCopy !req
276. Go!Copy !req
277. Now's our chance to
pincer-attack the enemy!Copy !req
278. An ambush?Copy !req
279. How annoying of them!Copy !req
280. Admiral, as things stand, we're
facing the danger of a pincer-attack.Copy !req
281. It can't be helped.
We'll retreat.Copy !req
282. Then shall we make
a turn to starboard?Copy !req
283. No, if we turn to starboard...Copy !req
284. the enemy will just converge and
pursue us to attack our rear guard.Copy !req
285. Withdraw straight back in
the 6 o'clock direction.Copy !req
286. When the enemy fleets cross
paths and fall into disarray...Copy !req
287. we'll push forward
and take them out.Copy !req
288. It's beyond expectation.Copy !req
289. There are things about the enemy's
tactics that we can't underestimate.Copy !req
290. Their next move,
of course, will be...Copy !req
291. As their next move, the enemy will naturally
try to turn around to the rear of our fleet.Copy !req
292. That was an
expected move for them...?Copy !req
293. Or it is also conceivable that all
the enemy fleets in this area...Copy !req
294. will try to turn this
battle into chaos...Copy !req
295. and while they buy some time, a
detached force will attack us from behind.Copy !req
296. But at the same time...Copy !req
297. I doubt there can be a detached force
of that size in the present Alliance forces.Copy !req
298. And even if they circumvent us, our
rear guard is "Ironshield" Muller.Copy !req
299. Even if they have a detached
force of about 20,000 ships...Copy !req
300. there's no doubt that he will maintain the
battle lines for a long enough period of time.Copy !req
301. But what about Yang Wenli?Copy !req
302. I see.Copy !req
303. Even this genius can't ignore
the presence of that magician.Copy !req
304. It's funny.Copy !req
305. Did I just feel jealous?Copy !req
306. The enemy is planning to keep its course and
get around to the rear guard of our main fleet.Copy !req
307. Don't let them!Copy !req
308. I'd like them to
keep us company here.Copy !req
309. All ships, fire!Copy !req
310. All ships, deploy into
line to the right and left.Copy !req
311. The enemy is
clustering together.Copy !req
312. That way, they'll penetrate
our line in the middle!Copy !req
313. That's all right.Copy !req
314. Let them through.Copy !req
315. If Yang Wenli
were in charge...Copy !req
316. he'd cut off our return route to Phezzan rather than attacking us directly, wouldn't he?Copy !req
317. You're right.Copy !req
318. He would do just that.Copy !req
319. But at the present time, he does not
have a large enough force to pull it off.Copy !req
320. Also, since Steinmetz has sent
no report to that effect...Copy !req
321. I think we can disregard that
possibility this time around.Copy !req
322. Right.Copy !req
323. Even if Yang Wenli tries to cut off
our return path to Phezzan...Copy !req
324. our fleets will move forward and
obliterate the enemy in front of us...Copy !req
325. attack Planet Heinessen, and then return
to the Reich through Iserlohn Corridor.Copy !req
326. There is nothing to fear!Copy !req
327. 20:30Copy !req
328. We did it!Copy !req
329. We got to the rear
of the Imperial fleets!Copy !req
330. Huh?Copy !req
331. Muller Fleet Flagship - ParcivaleCopy !req
332. All ships, deploy
in a concave formation.Copy !req
333. Don't let even one
ship get through!Copy !req
334. We'll make a
forceful penetration!Copy !req
335. Even if we don't survive, we'll go down
striking a blow against the Kaiser!Copy !req
336. All ships, charge in!Copy !req
337. Fire!Copy !req
338. Don't bother with them.Copy !req
339. Let the enemy penetrate through,
and in the meantime, we'll move forward.Copy !req
340. It looks like
they got one on us.Copy !req
341. No, it's not over yet.Copy !req
342. All ships, turn around and launch
a pursuit attack on the enemy!Copy !req
343. "Ironshield" Muller, huh?Copy !req
344. Sometime ago, Admiral Yang praised him
as a brilliant admiral, and he really is tough.Copy !req
345. An enemy fleet is approaching
us from behind!Copy !req
346. They've come.Copy !req
347. The enemy's detached
force is small.Copy !req
348. If we pincer-attack them with the Muller
Fleet, we can smash them in one blow.Copy !req
349. Admiral, an enemy fleet
is approaching us from behind.Copy !req
350. They've come already...!Copy !req
351. Where is Knapfstein?Copy !req
352. If he attacks their main
fleet from their rear...Copy !req
353. our fleet will have
a definite advantage.Copy !req
354. There's another mine cluster.Copy !req
355. The enemy seems to have intentionally
set up a time gap between the blasts.Copy !req
356. If only we had
directional Zephyr particles...!Copy !req
357. It seems we've succeeded
in sealing off the corridor.Copy !req
358. Our rear-side has
become a safe zone.Copy !req
359. Thank God.Copy !req
360. Rather than keeping this course
and pursuing the Fahrenheit Fleet...Copy !req
361. should we aim
for the kill?Copy !req
362. Yes.Copy !req
363. We'll obliterate them right away
and create a time allowance...Copy !req
364. then turn around afterwards
to take out the enemy behind us.Copy !req
365. Don't bother with the
enemy fleet behind us!Copy !req
366. One more step, one more step, and we'll
penetrate the enemy line in front of us!Copy !req
367. Fortify the formation!Copy !req
368. Admiral, the enemy
behind us is...!Copy !req
369. What?Copy !req
370. Hurry!Copy !req
371. We'll keep to this course and charge
right into the Imperial Force Main Fleet!Copy !req
372. Carlsen, lend
us your support!Copy !req
373. Oh!Copy !req
374. Fire away!Copy !req
375. Even if we all die here,
our deaths won't be meaningless!Copy !req
376. Don't let them through!Copy !req
377. Balgi, Shunabel, Hauhild!Copy !req
378. Stop the Alliance Main Fleet at all
costs and protect the Kaiser!Copy !req
379. Yes, sir!Copy !req
380. But Admiral, if we
detach 30% of our fleet...Copy !req
381. Muller's Chief Staff OfficerCopy !req
382. Rear Admiral OlrauCopy !req
383. I know!Copy !req
384. But...Copy !req
385. The enemy fleet is small.
Just charge through!Copy !req
386. Admiral, from directly above...!Copy !req
387. What?Copy !req
