Copy !req
6. On April 27th of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...
Copy !req
7. following the extremely disrespectful
response from Dusty Attenborough...
Copy !req
8. one more letter was delivered
from someone else to Bittenfeld.
Copy !req
9. It was from Merkatz...
Copy !req
10. . proposing to surrender to Kaiser Reinhard
and betray the opposition from within.
Copy !req
11. I need to confer
with Fahrenheit.
Copy !req
12. Open the communication channel.
Copy !req
13. Fahrenheit Fleet Flagship - Ahsgrimm
Copy !req
14. It's not worth debating.
It's undoubtedly a trap.
Copy !req
15. Though Admiral Merkatz is
an enemy to our camp...
Copy !req
16. he is not someone
who would change his ways.
Copy !req
17. I know it's a trap, even
without your instruction.
Copy !req
18. What I'm concerned about is
what the trap is aiming to do.
Copy !req
19. I see.
Copy !req
20. Then I presume you have your own
answer to that question, don't you?
Copy !req
21. I would like to
hear it first.
Copy !req
22. They must be planning to catch us off guard,
and execute a swift counterattack.
Copy !req
23. Umm, yes.
Copy !req
24. That's the only
conclusion I can come to.
Copy !req
25. But...
Copy !req
26. But...?
Copy !req
27. I wonder if someone as astute as Yang Wenli
or Merkatz would employ such shallow tricks.
Copy !req
28. Then can it be the
"trick of relaxation" ?
Copy !req
29. "Trick of relaxation" ?
Copy !req
30. You mean that they'd first send Merkatz to
surrender as a decoy to make us relax...
Copy !req
31. and then attack us
while we're off-guard?
Copy !req
32. But to use such a ruthless scheme that
would sacrifice Merkatz from the beginning...
Copy !req
33. I don't think
Yang would do so.
Copy !req
34. You may be right, considering
Yang's personality alone.
Copy !req
35. But if Merkatz himself had asked
for it, it would be a different story.
Copy !req
36. He has probably been
looking for a place to die.
Copy !req
37. He just might accept
a task like that.
Copy !req
38. I see.
Copy !req
39. We should assume that things might
get dangerous after their next transmission.
Copy !req
40. I understand the situation.
Copy !req
41. I will put my fleet on alert and watch
for movement by the opposition.
Copy !req
42. That weasel.
Copy !req
43. We cannot initiate our move
until after the Kaiser arrives.
Copy !req
44. He must be hoping that the
enemy will strike first.
Copy !req
45. This time around, I'm the one
who has to call for restraint.
Copy !req
46. It doesn't suit my personality,
but it can't be helped.
Copy !req
47. Both Bittenfeld and Fahrenheit
normally are better at offense.
Copy !req
48. Because these two took
the stance of anticipating...
Copy !req
49. and then reacting to
their opponent's movements...
Copy !req
50. their usual aggressiveness
had to be neutralized.
Copy !req
51. On the other hand, on the
other end of the Iserlohn Corridor...
Copy !req
52. the Mecklinger Fleet had no way
of knowing their current situation...
Copy !req
53. due to considerable
interference from the Fortress.
Copy !req
54. Thus, in accordance with Kaiser Reinhard's
orders, which were relayed from Phezzan...
Copy !req
55. Mecklinger Fleet Flagship - Kvasir
Copy !req
56. they were encroaching into
the Iserlohn Corridor as planned.
Copy !req
57. The purpose of this was to check Yang's
participation into the battle from behind...
Copy !req
58. and depending on
the situation...
Copy !req
59. open fire and slow down the battle
until the main Imperial fleet arrives.
Copy !req
60. An enemy fleet is swiftly
approaching from directly ahead.
Copy !req
61. The number is...
over 20,000 ships!
Copy !req
62. Over 20,000 ships?
Copy !req
63. All ships, retreat.
Copy !req
64. We cannot engage in battle.
Copy !req
65. Admiral, certainly our fleet of 15,900
ships has a size disadvantage...
Copy !req
66. Admiral Strauss
Copy !req
67. but to retreat without
even fighting would be...
Copy !req
68. We've underestimated the size of the
Alliance fleet stationed in Iserlohn Fortress.
Copy !req
69. If they're capable of putting a fleet
of over 20,000 ships into this area...
Copy !req
70. it means that the opposition's total
number would be over 50,000 ships.
Copy !req
71. If we allow their
penetration here...
Copy !req
72. the Reich mainland does not have any
sizable mobile forces to stop them.
Copy !req
73. Thus, if the enemy wishes to, it can
strike the Reich capital, Odin, directly.
Copy !req
74. We cannot afford to risk that.
Copy !req
75. Currently, the most important thing we can do
is retreat and guard the exit of the Corridor.
Copy !req
76. I understand.
Copy !req
77. All ships, retreat!
Copy !req
78. We will head to the exit of the Corridor
and position our forces there!
Copy !req
79. In other words, the militaristic advantage
that the Reich has is as fragile as that.
Copy !req
80. Admiral Merkatz's Flagship - Hyperion
Copy !req
81. Admiral Fischer's Flagship - Shiva
Copy !req
82. In reality, the fleet that had
launched from Iserlohn Fortress...
Copy !req
83. Admiral Attenborough's Flagship - Masasoite
Copy !req
84. was essentially the
entirety of the Yang Fleet.
Copy !req
85. Yang Fleet Supreme Flagship - Ulysses
Copy !req
86. The Imperial Fleet is retreating!
Copy !req
87. Good.
Copy !req
88. Leave only the reconnaissance
ships and we'll also retreat.
Copy !req
89. We'll proceed to
our next plan.
Copy !req
90. The biggest weakness
of the Imperial fleet...
Copy !req
91. was precisely the fact that
its entire fleet was so large.
Copy !req
92. Due to its large size...
Copy !req
93. the extended lines of communication
made coordination among units difficult.
Copy !req
94. Yang took full
advantage of this.
Copy !req
95. He first sent the message to Bittenfeld
to put them into a passive defense...
Copy !req
96. and to minimize the possibility
of their entrance into the Corridor.
Copy !req
97. Then he checked the movement of Mecklinger's fleet to his rear with the entirety of his fleet...
Copy !req
98. in order to confront the
opposition to his front.
Copy !req
99. On April 29th, still unaware of the
withdrawal of the Mecklinger Fleet...
Copy !req
100. Bittenfeld received a second
message from Merkatz.
Copy !req
101. It seems Admiral Merkatz has escaped
from the Fortress and is on his way.
Copy !req
102. Just as I thought. Tell him
we'll welcome him as a guest.
Copy !req
103. Are you sure it's okay?
Copy !req
104. Fahrenheit has agreed to it.
Copy !req
105. I mean, shouldn't we report it to the
Kaiser and ask for instructions?
Copy !req
106. Rear Admiral Eugen
Copy !req
107. We don't have
enough time for that.
Copy !req
108. The enemy is making
a move right now.
Copy !req
109. Besides, we'll lose our chance to pincer-attack
the enemy with Mecklinger's fleet.
Copy !req
110. The enemy thinks we're
letting our guard down.
Copy !req
111. There must be an enemy ambuscade
right behind the decoy Merkatz Fleet.
Copy !req
112. We'll make the first
move and intercept them!
Copy !req
113. The enemy ships
are approaching!
Copy !req
114. Don't move yet.
Copy !req
115. Pretend not to notice them until
the opposition gets closer.
Copy !req
116. We've located the enemy fleet.
Copy !req
117. The number is
approximately 5,000.
Copy !req
118. Just as I thought.
Copy !req
119. The first move will win it!
Copy !req
120. Go!
Copy !req
121. All right.
Copy !req
122. All ships, pretend to be
surprised and run away, okay?
Copy !req
123. Don't rush!
Copy !req
124. As long as we maintain our distance and don't get inside the enemy's effective range we'll be safe!
Copy !req
125. When your enemy is
the Black Lancers...
Copy !req
126. the pretense of running away
becomes a life-or-death act.
Copy !req
127. The enemy fleet is
running away in defeat!
Copy !req
128. Running away in defeat?
Copy !req
129. Don't you think they're
a cute little bunch?
Copy !req
130. What do you think, Staff Officer?
Copy !req
131. Admiral Grobner
Copy !req
132. They seem to be luring
us inside the Corridor...
Copy !req
133. while trying to maintain their distance
outside our effective range.
Copy !req
134. I agree.
Copy !req
135. How about if we slow
down our pursuit?
Copy !req
136. That should clarify the
enemy's intention, I think.
Copy !req
137. The enemy fleet
is slowing down!
Copy !req
138. That Bittenfeld, it seems
he's gotten a little bit wiser.
Copy !req
139. Stop retreating!
Copy !req
140. Move forward and dangle the bait
in front of their noses one more time.
Copy !req
141. Just as I thought.
Copy !req
142. What a smartass!
Copy !req
143. At the right time, slow
down our pursuit again.
Copy !req
144. Pardon?
Copy !req
145. But this time, we'll charge forward
right when they make a turn...
Copy !req
146. and without giving them time
to run away, we'll envelop them.
Copy !req
147. The opposition is
slowing down again.
Copy !req
148. Why doesn't he just
follow us already?
Copy !req
149. How unlike him.
Copy !req
150. It seems the enemy hasn't gotten
a big enough whiff of the bait.
Copy !req
151. Let them smell it again.
Copy !req
152. They fell for it!
Copy !req
153. All ships, charge!
Copy !req
154. No!
Copy !req
155. All ships, turn!
Copy !req
156. Retreat right away!
Copy !req
157. Don't let them get away!
Copy !req
158. Make them pay for
belittling the Black Lancers!
Copy !req
159. That Bittenfeld,
what a scoundrel.
Copy !req
160. This is what he
intended to do all along.
Copy !req
161. He should be asking for
the Kaiser's instructions.
Copy !req
162. Commander Sanders
Copy !req
163. What should our fleet do?
Copy !req
164. When friendly forces are
exchanging fire right in front of us...
Copy !req
165. I don't think we can
just be spectators.
Copy !req
166. Our fleet will also
enter the Corridor.
Copy !req
167. Take a spindle
formation and charge in.
Copy !req
168. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
169. I suppose it
should be fine.
Copy !req
170. As long as Bittenfeld takes the responsibility
for opening fire without permission.
Copy !req
171. In any case, dispatch a communication
shuttle and report the opening of the battle.
Copy !req
172. 29 April - 10:45
Copy !req
173. The Imperial Force has the unparalleled
Kaiser and many distinguished admirals.
Copy !req
174. The Iserlohn Corridor is too
narrow for all of them.
Copy !req
175. Our chance lies
in that narrowness.
Copy !req
176. Let's take full
advantage of it.
Copy !req
177. 11:30
Copy !req
178. We've let the guests in.
Copy !req
179. Good work.
Copy !req
180. Repay your debt in some tangible
form somewhere down the road, please.
Copy !req
181. The enemy has broken through the yellow
zone, and is encroaching upon the red zone!
Copy !req
182. 0.4 light seconds till they enter
our main cannons' effective range!
Copy !req
183. Prepare to fire.
Copy !req
184. The opposition has entered
our effective range.
Copy !req
185. Fire!
Copy !req
186. Don't flinch!
Copy !req
187. Counterattack!
Copy !req
188. Utilizing the full
space of the Corridor...
Copy !req
189. move in from the right flank
of the Black Lancers ahead of us...
Copy !req
190. into the left flank
of the enemy fleet!
Copy !req
191. All right.
Copy !req
192. Open up our deployment and
move into a concave formation.
Copy !req
193. Concave formation.
Copy !req
194. What're you doing?
Copy !req
195. As it is, we're falling
into the enemy's scheme.
Copy !req
196. Open up our
formation horizontally.
Copy !req
197. If we cluster together,
we'll all be annihilated!
Copy !req
198. We can't!
Copy !req
199. The Corridor is too
narrow for us to open up.
Copy !req
200. Don't bother
with euphemisms!
Copy !req
201. Why don't you just say straight out that
the Fahrenheit Fleet is getting in our way?
Copy !req
202. Fahrenheit should've stayed
behind as the second line.
Copy !req
203. Because he forced his way in, our movements
are restricted inside this narrow corridor!
Copy !req
204. You're right, but the enemy
fleet numbers over 20,000 ships.
Copy !req
205. Our fleet alone is 15,000 ships.
We'd be at a disadvantage size-wise.
Copy !req
206. Those wild boars of
the Black Lancers...
Copy !req
207. They should just
dig their own graves.
Copy !req
208. Don't get us involved!
Copy !req
209. Watch your words.
Copy !req
210. Yes, I apologize.
Copy !req
211. But, Admiral, at this rate, our two fleets will
be destroyed, as we're unable to move about.
Copy !req
212. Vice Admiral Buxtehude
Copy !req
213. Why don't we leave the Black Lancers in
charge of this location and retreat for now?
Copy !req
214. I think so, too, but retreating from the
enemy will be an extremely difficult task.
Copy !req
215. Fleet Commander!
Copy !req
216. This appears to have been a trap to
lure us inside the Corridor all along!
Copy !req
217. In order to avoid the Kaiser's wrath, I would
think it would be prudent to withdraw...
Copy !req
218. accepting the certain amount
of loss that it might entail.
Copy !req
219. Bittenfeld already knew
what Eugen was suggesting.
Copy !req
220. But there was the concern that
if they retreat in this formation...
Copy !req
221. they might suffer a half-envelopment
pursuit from the Yang Fleet.
Copy !req
222. Rather, they might be better off
attempting a forceful, frontal penetration...
Copy !req
223. All ships, fire three times!
Copy !req
224. Afterwards, advance at full speed!
Copy !req
225. Matching up with the enemy advancement,
the center area should retreat.
Copy !req
226. The left and right
flanks should advance.
Copy !req
227. Now!
Copy !req
228. Retreat!
Copy !req
229. T... this is...!
Copy !req
230. Don't flinch!
Copy !req
231. Move forward!
Copy !req
232. If we forcefully get into close combat,
there's a chance for victory!
Copy !req
233. If we get into a melee and if the
battle gets out of Yang's control...
Copy !req
234. the Yang Fleet will be nothing but a
patchwork made of pathetic soldiers!
Copy !req
235. Remember the Battle
of Vermilion last year!
Copy !req
236. You of the Imperial Fleets
became all but space dust...
Copy !req
237. in the aftermath of the total,
complete, undisputed defeat!
Copy !req
238. We forgave you out
of sheer mercy...
Copy !req
239. but you forgot your gratitude
and launched another invasion!
Copy !req
240. Your Kaiser may be handsome
but he's a true scoundrel!
Copy !req
241. Bastards, I won't forgive them!
Copy !req
242. All ships, take down the enemy ships, even
if you have to die upon each other's sword!
Copy !req
243. Admiral, that's impossible!
Copy !req
244. How is it impossible?
Copy !req
245. They're 20,000 ships.
Copy !req
246. Combined with the Fahrenheit
Fleet, we're 30,000 ships.
Copy !req
247. If each ship takes
out one enemy ship...
Copy !req
248. we'll annihilate them all and
still be left with 10,000 ships!
Copy !req
249. Sieg Kaiser!
Copy !req
250. Die Kaiser!
Copy !req
251. It Commander Soun Soul
Copy !req
252. That fool, Bittenfeld...
Copy !req
253. Does he think he'll be all right as
long as he charges forward?
Copy !req
254. No, if we get into a war of attrition,
we'll be at a disadvantage.
Copy !req
255. Admiral, even as we take out the enemy
fleet, our losses are markedly excessive.
Copy !req
256. At this rate, our fleet
alone will be depleted.
Copy !req
257. At this point, I wonder if we
should retreat for the time being.
Copy !req
258. It will be a disgrace for the Black Lancers
to withdraw from the enemy front!
Copy !req
259. But, Admiral, if we let our fleet...
Copy !req
260. that the Kaiser bestowed upon us,
disappear from the face of this universe...
Copy !req
261. after attacking without permission,
we will not be able to face the Kaiser.
Copy !req
262. We have no
choice it seems...
Copy !req
263. They've finally retreated...
Copy !req
264. The enemy, the Fahrenheit
Fleet, is charging in!
Copy !req
265. No tactics are necessary
for such a large force.
Copy !req
266. There is only offense!
Just move forward and attack!
Copy !req
267. It seems the situation might turn out to
be the one I was most worried about...
Copy !req
268. What happened?
Copy !req
269. Don't slacken our attack!
Copy !req
270. The reaction of the left side of the
enemy fleet is getting slower.
Copy !req
271. That was the fleet that acted as
the decoy in the beginning, but...
Copy !req
272. Then they must be at
the height of fatigue.
Copy !req
273. Concentrate the
attack on that side.
Copy !req
274. Now!
Copy !req
275. Charge past the left
wing of the enemy...
Copy !req
276. and swing starboard to penetrate
into Yang's main fleet!
Copy !req
277. No!
Copy !req
278. We've split up the enemy.
Copy !req
279. It's coming from portside!
Copy !req
280. Don't panic.
Copy !req
281. Our fleet will turn portside
and let them through to the right.
Copy !req
282. If we get our right wing to
the left side of the opposition...
Copy !req
283. we'll be able to envelop them
inside the centroid formation again.
Copy !req
284. How is the reorganization of
the fleet formation proceeding?
Copy !req
285. It's almost finished.
Copy !req
286. Good. Then we'll
charge in again.
Copy !req
287. Admiral!
Copy !req
288. The enemy has been in continuous
combat and must be fatigued.
Copy !req
289. Here, it's important for us to attack
again and not let them recuperate.
Copy !req
290. Besides, Fahrenheit
seems to be in trouble.
Copy !req
291. We can't leave him isolated.
Copy !req
292. Just as I thought.
Copy !req
293. The morale of the
opposition is floundering.
Copy !req
294. We should converge with the Fahrenheit
Fleet and aim to reorganize our fleets.
Copy !req
295. All right, keep this course
and cluster together...
Copy !req
296. With this, we have
the size advantage.
Copy !req
297. This is...!
Copy !req
298. What happened?
Copy !req
299. Before we knew, we've been
surrounded by the enemy.
Copy !req
300. What?
Copy !req
301. What's the meaning of this?
Copy !req
302. How can we have the size
advantage and still be surrounded?
Copy !req
303. The enemy is utilizing the
Corridor's dangerous space-zones...
Copy !req
304. to make up for
their size disadvantage.
Copy !req
305. If we move about without caution,
we'll get into the shock-wave dimensions!
Copy !req
306. Dammit!
Copy !req
307. How sneaky of them...!
Copy !req
308. Undo the cluster formation!
Copy !req
309. It was their aim
to get us to converge!
Copy !req
310. The enemy's right wing
fleet is in front of us!
Copy !req
311. Strike past them!
Copy !req
312. Prepare to launch
combat aircraft.
Copy !req
313. Dry Gin, Liquor, Sherry, Absinthe, all squadrons, are you ready to launch?
Copy !req
314. Okay!
Copy !req
315. What happened?
Copy !req
316. Are you scared, Karin?
Copy !req
317. No, Commander,
I'm not scared.
Copy !req
318. It's good that you're
cutting an attitude.
Copy !req
319. Even if the clothes are too large in the
beginning, they'll fill out as you grow.
Copy !req
320. The same goes for courage.
Copy !req
321. Yes, Commander.
Copy !req
322. This is what Life Counselor
Poplan lectured irresponsibly.
Copy !req
323. In the end, it's
someone else's life.
Copy !req
324. Karin, if you can execute about 62.4%
of what I taught you, you'll survive.
Copy !req
325. The secret of not getting killed by the
enemy is to underestimate life's difficulties.
Copy !req
326. All right, go!
Copy !req
327. Katerose von Kreuzer,
pull yourself together!
Copy !req
328. If you show your pathetic self,
that guy will laugh at you!
Copy !req
329. "That guy" ?
Copy !req
330. Who am I talking about?
Copy !req
331. To...
Copy !req
332. underestimate...
Copy !req
333. life's difficulties...!
Copy !req
334. Combat aircraft have been
launched from the right wing fleet.
Copy !req
335. The enemy has begun close combat
with small combat aircraft.
Copy !req
336. This tactic...
Copy !req
337. It's Admiral Merkatz.
Copy !req
338. Goodbye.
Copy !req
339. I doubt we'll ever meet again.
Copy !req
340. Good.
Copy !req
341. This is what
I've looked for.
Copy !req
342. We'll concentrate our attack on one point
and forcefully penetrate the enemy line!
Copy !req
343. That Fahrenheit, he's good.
Copy !req
344. But...
Copy !req
345. The Fahrenheit Fleet is taking
down the enemy line.
Copy !req
346. It seems they're
creating an escape route.
Copy !req
347. We will also penetrate through the enemy
line and proceed to the exit of the Corridor.
Copy !req
348. What?
Copy !req
349. There's a pinpoint attack from the
opposition at the exit of the Corridor...
Copy !req
350. It's become a crossfire point.
Copy !req
351. But if we don't get through there,
we can't get out of the Corridor.
Copy !req
352. How villainous...!
Copy !req
353. Our fleet is split
up in many places!
Copy !req
354. Still, we have no choice but
to attempt a forceful escape!
Copy !req
355. This ship will remain at the rear-most end
