5. Charge!Copy !req
6. We've penetrated
the enemy lines!Copy !req
7. On January 16th, Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
8. the Imperial Fleet was in the midst
of an unexpectedly difficult battle.Copy !req
9. Intercept them!Copy !req
10. The enemy fleet is small.Copy !req
11. Concentrate our artillery fire
and destroy them one by one.Copy !req
12. The enemy fleet that we just penetrated
is approaching us from behind!Copy !req
13. From below, too!Copy !req
14. Friendly fleets are too close.Copy !req
15. Tone down the
artillery fire.Copy !req
16. The advancement of Carlsen's fleet
appears to have been halted.Copy !req
17. This isn't good.Copy !req
18. I don't know if I can
say it's fortunate...Copy !req
19. but the enemy fleets have toned down
their firepower to avoid friendly fire...Copy !req
20. so they can probably
hold out for a bit longer.Copy !req
21. But as it is...Copy !req
22. Our hope depends on...Copy !req
23. Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2,
16 January, 21:18Copy !req
24. An enemy fleet has
emerged to our rear!Copy !req
25. Their number is
approximately 15,000 ships!Copy !req
26. What?Copy !req
27. Eisenach Fleet Flagship - VissarrCopy !req
28. That's the right wing unit
of the Imperial Fleet.Copy !req
29. It seems they made a long flanking
movement clockwise to get behind our fleet.Copy !req
30. We have no choice but
to just persevere here.Copy !req
31. Reinforce our aft defense and
draw them in as much as we can.Copy !req
32. Lt. Commander GriessCopy !req
33. Yes, sir.Copy !req
34. All ships,
maintain distance.Copy !req
35. Fixed Star Marr-AdettaCopy !req
36. 22:00Copy !req
37. The energy wind
is blowing at us!Copy !req
38. Now's our chance!Copy !req
39. All ships, take
a conic formation!Copy !req
40. Aiming for the gaps in the enemy
defensive formation, charge in!Copy !req
41. No!Copy !req
42. They're about
to break through!Copy !req
43. Go!Copy !req
44. Intercept!Copy !req
45. That old man...
He's good.Copy !req
46. All ships, at full speed,
attack the enemy flank!Copy !req
47. Hurry!Copy !req
48. Main cannons,
fire three times!Copy !req
49. Charge in!Copy !req
50. The enemy fleet has
thrust in from the side.Copy !req
51. At this rate, our fleet
will be split in two!Copy !req
52. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
53. Our only target is the enemy
supreme flagship, Brunhild.Copy !req
54. Keep your course and
move straight ahead!Copy !req
55. Commodore Siegbert SeidlitzCopy !req
56. Brunhild CaptainCopy !req
57. Your Majesty, artillery fire is
coming into range of our ship.Copy !req
58. I request your
permission to move back.Copy !req
59. As the Captain sees fit.Copy !req
60. But there's no need
to move back too far.Copy !req
61. The enemy's offense has
probably reached its limit.Copy !req
62. Yes, sir.Copy !req
63. But still, even considering they
had a geographical advantage...Copy !req
64. I didn't expect this chaotic of a battle,
given our enormous size advantage.Copy !req
65. Admiral, our fleet line
has extended so much that...Copy !req
66. at this rate, we'll be isolated inside the
enemy lines, merely waiting to be annihilated.Copy !req
67. Here, for the time being, we
should contract the battle-front.Copy !req
68. We won't reach the Kaiser even if we
continue to move forward, will we?Copy !req
69. Regrettably not.Copy !req
70. 22:50Copy !req
71. Now, concentrate artillery fire on
the front guard of the enemy fleet!Copy !req
72. Chief Staff Officer!Copy !req
73. I'm okay.Copy !req
74. More importantly, hurry and...Copy !req
75. Yes!Copy !req
76. The enemy is crumbling!Copy !req
77. We've detected the presence of a
large number of ships to the rear.Copy !req
78. They're closing in
on us at high speed!Copy !req
79. What? Is it a
detached enemy fleet?Copy !req
80. No!Copy !req
81. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
82. It's the Black Lancers!Copy !req
83. The Black Lancers
have arrived!Copy !req
84. I see.Copy !req
85. That Bittenfeld... it seems
he's really rushed to get here.Copy !req
86. We made it in time!Copy !req
87. As for the leftover opposition, we'll destroy
them all and won't let even one get away!Copy !req
88. Charge in!Copy !req
89. Fahrenheit Fleet Unit CommanderCopy !req
90. Vice Admiral HofmeisterCopy !req
91. He's joining the battle this late and
boasting of his personal glory?Copy !req
92. All of you,
don't rush in recklessly.Copy !req
93. The enemy admiral is
old and full of guile.Copy !req
94. He might have a scheme
that we can't even imagine.Copy !req
95. No, they're fine
as they are.Copy !req
96. If Bittenfeld exercised
too much prudence...Copy !req
97. that would take away the
strength of the Black Lancers.Copy !req
98. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
99. Dashing forward like a wild
boar is our true strength!Copy !req
100. Regardless of what scheme or trickery the
enemy has, we'll crush them with our power!Copy !req
101. Admiral... our missiles and
energy have all run out.Copy !req
102. At this point...Copy !req
103. I couldn't go to
the military academy.Copy !req
104. It's almost like I've fought
every battle merely for my pride...Copy !req
105. to show the elitists in
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Copy !req
106. If it weren't for
an era like this...Copy !req
107. I would never have moved up the
ladder to become a fleet commander.Copy !req
108. Despite that, I was able to battle hard
enough to come this close to the Kaiser.Copy !req
109. I've done as
much as I could.Copy !req
110. 23:10Copy !req
111. The battleship Diomedes
has been sunk.Copy !req
112. Admiral Ralph Carlsen...
died in battle.Copy !req
113. About 80% of our fleet
has already been lost...Copy !req
114. and organized resistance has
become increasingly difficult to mount.Copy !req
115. I suppose this is
the end of it.Copy !req
116. It's useless for us
all to die here.Copy !req
117. I'll grant all ships my permission
to withdraw from the battlefront.Copy !req
118. Captain.Copy !req
119. Yes, sir.Copy !req
120. I'm sorry, but in order to let as
many ships as possible escape...Copy !req
121. this ship will have
to assume the rear guard.Copy !req
122. Rio Grande CaptainCopy !req
123. Commander EmersonCopy !req
124. I know.Copy !req
125. Being the captain of the flagship, I'll
follow the Chief Commander to the end.Copy !req
126. Good.Copy !req
127. Most of those will likely
head to join Admiral Yang.Copy !req
128. Come to think of it, I wonder if the souvenir
that I left in Lt. Commander Soul's custody...Copy !req
129. has been delivered
to Yang yet.Copy !req
130. If things have gone according to plan,
it should have been by now.Copy !req
131. Right.Copy !req
132. What are they doing?Copy !req
133. I imagine they think this task
is too much for this ship alone.Copy !req
134. Idiots.Copy !req
135. They're unwavering. It's like the
embodiment of that old man's spirit.Copy !req
136. Your Majesty, I wonder if you might wish
to urge them to surrender at this time.Copy !req
137. That's useless.Copy !req
138. That old man will only
laugh at my hesitation.Copy !req
139. Besides, why should I, the
victor, pander to the loser?Copy !req
140. I once again ask
for your consideration.Copy !req
141. Extending a hand to the losing side is a
manifestation of the victor's greatness.Copy !req
142. If the losing side rejects it, then
the losing side is narrow-minded.Copy !req
143. Then instead of doing it myself, I will let
Mittermeyer make the offer as my agent.Copy !req
144. 23:30Copy !req
145. Attention, opposition admiral.Copy !req
146. Attention, opposition admiral.Copy !req
147. You are completely encircled by our fleet, and
your withdrawal route has been sealed off.Copy !req
148. Any further
combat is useless.Copy !req
149. I urge you to shut down your
ship's engines and surrender.Copy !req
150. Kaiser Reinhard acknowledges your
admirable effort in this battle...Copy !req
151. and will reward you
with magnanimous treatment.Copy !req
152. I urge you once
again, to surrender.Copy !req
153. As you said, I don't think
they'll surrender at this point.Copy !req
154. There's a response
from the enemy ship.Copy !req
155. The enemy commander is requesting
communications with the Kaiser.Copy !req
156. Very well.Copy !req
157. Connect the communication channel
with the supreme flagship, Brunhild.Copy !req
158. Your Majesty,
Kaiser Reinhard...Copy !req
159. please believe I have a great admiration
for your talents and greatness.Copy !req
160. And if I were to have a grandson,
I would like to have someone like you.Copy !req
161. But I cannot be your subordinate.Copy !req
162. Yang Wenli, also; he could become
your friend, but not your subordinate.Copy !req
163. Though it's someone else's business,
I can just about guarantee it.Copy !req
164. That is to say, if I'm allowed to
say important-sounding things...Copy !req
165. democracy is the philosophy of
making friends on equal terms...Copy !req
166. not of creating
master-servant relationships.Copy !req
167. I want to have good friends, and I want
to be a good friend to other people.Copy !req
168. But I don't want a good master
or to be a good servant.Copy !req
169. That's precisely the reason I have not
been able to uphold the same flag as you.Copy !req
170. Although I appreciate your kindness, I doubt
you have any need for an old man like myself.Copy !req
171. A toast to democracy.Copy !req
172. How can a stranger possibly
understand anything...?Copy !req
173. The ships that stayed till the end
have all met an honorable death...Copy !req
174. and at this point,
there is no resistance.Copy !req
175. Notify all fleets.Copy !req
176. We will reorganize
the fleet formation...Copy !req
177. and once again begin marching
toward Starzone Barlat.Copy !req
178. When we pass the battlefield...Copy !req
179. all officers and soldiers must stand up
and render a salute to the enemy admiral.Copy !req
180. Fleet Admiral Reuental.Copy !req
181. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
182. It seems that in
some near future...Copy !req
183. I will face another enemy
admiral in this format once again.Copy !req
184. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
185. 23:45Copy !req
186. Because Your Majesty
allows me to serve you...Copy !req
187. I have been able to visit such faraway places
and have so many different experiences.Copy !req
188. When I go home,
I can boast about them.Copy !req
189. Judging from the way you phrase it,
it sounds as though you are getting homesick.Copy !req
190. If you want, you can have a
vacation and go home for a while.Copy !req
191. No, that was
not what I meant.Copy !req
192. I will follow wherever
Your Majesty goes.Copy !req
193. Even to another galaxy.Copy !req
194. You have larger
ambitions than I do.Copy !req
195. For me, this galaxy
is plenty enough.Copy !req
196. As for the other galaxies,
you can conquer them.Copy !req
197. It was only three hours later that
the fall of Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
198. was reported to the Imperial Fleet,
which had been excited over its victory.Copy !req
199. That man did it again...Copy !req
200. What's wrong
with all of you?Copy !req
201. It is certainly our loss that Yang
Wenli recaptured Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
202. but that's only a
defeat in one locality.Copy !req
203. We won at Marr-Adetta...Copy !req
204. and our advantage in the entirety of the
battle situation has hardly slipped away.Copy !req
205. That's not quite right.Copy !req
206. Depending on whether or not
we have Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
207. the strategic factors
differ immensely.Copy !req
208. Aiming for that, the Alliance would draw
us in at Marr-Adetta with its main fleets...Copy !req
209. and in the meantime, Yang Wenli would
capture Iserlohn Fortress with another fleet.Copy !req
210. I'm afraid we may have fallen
for a coordinated plan of theirs.Copy !req
211. What?Copy !req
212. That would be a
groundless concern.Copy !req
213. This is merely a coincidence resulting
from two independent, individual plans.Copy !req
214. If it were meant to
be a coordinated plan...Copy !req
215. Fleet Admiral Bucock would have assumed
the role of capturing Fortress Iserlohn...Copy !req
216. and Yang Wenli himself would
have come to battle His Majesty.Copy !req
217. That's because, for the
capture of Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
218. people other than Yang could
execute it if given the tactics.Copy !req
219. But to confront
Your Majesty...Copy !req
220. no one other than Yang Wenli
would stand even a 1 in 10,000 chance.Copy !req
221. And in fact, Fleet Admiral Bucock has died in battle.Copy !req
222. This is an unbearable
loss for Yang.Copy !req
223. Because it doesn't
suit his personality...Copy !req
224. to secure his own victory
by sacrificing someone else.Copy !req
225. Also, if publicized, he would risk
losing people's respect for him...Copy !req
226. and I doubt he would
make such thoughtless plans.Copy !req
227. I see.Copy !req
228. You're probably right.Copy !req
229. Lutz, I will notify you
of your punishment later.Copy !req
230. For the time being, you'll
be on administrative leave.Copy !req
231. Fleet Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
232. regrettably, your accomplishment had
a life expectancy of less than one year.Copy !req
233. It's unfortunate.Copy !req
234. The feelings of Reuental, who only gave
a brief response, were complicated.Copy !req
235. Although Lutz is the one who
actually fell for Yang's scheme...Copy !req
236. the fact that he did not discover Yang's
trick means he too shares responsibility.Copy !req
237. And to Kaiser Reinhard, too...Copy !req
238. it meant he might have underestimated the
strategic importance of Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
239. In the end, who actually
was outwitted by Yang?Copy !req
240. Once again, a new name has been added to the list of people who fell for Yang Wenli's trickery.Copy !req
241. Lutz has always been
a premier commander...Copy !req
242. possessing both composure and
sound judgment, but still...Copy !req
243. I suspected he might have
some sort of a plan...Copy !req
244. but I didn't realize he had precisely foreseen
the situation several years into the future.Copy !req
245. The whole name of the Galactic Empire is
beginning to serve as a foil for Yang Wenli.Copy !req
246. We have no fear of an expedition
of 100,000 light years...Copy !req
247. but we fear the
name of Yang Wenli.Copy !req
248. That's what it seems.Copy !req
249. If he had a force of the
same size as ours...Copy !req
250. the goddess of fate may have
pandered to him instead of us.Copy !req
251. If Siegfried Kircheis were alive...Copy !req
252. Huh?Copy !req
253. we might have never lost Iserlohn
Fortress once again like this.Copy !req
254. That's right.Copy !req
255. If Kircheis were alive...Copy !req
256. that Oberstein would never have tyrannized
the military as triumphantly as he does now.Copy !req
257. If Kircheis were alive...Copy !req
258. 17 JanuaryCopy !req
259. In any case...Copy !req
260. in order to prevent Yang Wenli's militaristic
magic from coordinating with political power...Copy !req
261. we need to seize Heinessen
as soon as possible.Copy !req
262. We will mobilize our fleets
toward Starzone Barlat right away.Copy !req
263. Your Majesty, there
is no need to hurry.Copy !req
264. If we approach
Heinessen with dignity...Copy !req
265. that pressure alone will
topple the Alliance government.Copy !req
266. You think of the Alliance
government as an eggshell, Fraulein?Copy !req
267. Yes.Copy !req
268. Inside that egg,
there will be a storm.Copy !req
269. Most likely, they will
crumble from internal strife.Copy !req
270. There is no need to dirty
Your Majesty's hands.Copy !req
271. Order all fleets to resume
course without hurrying...Copy !req
272. and with dignity,
as you suggest.Copy !req
273. On January 17th of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
274. the Imperial Fleet, which had
won the Battle of Marr-Adetta...Copy !req
275. resumed its
course for Heinessen.Copy !req
