3. Black Lancers Flagship - Konigs TigerCopy !req
4. On April 27th of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
5. following the extremely disrespectful
response from Dusty Attenborough...Copy !req
6. one more letter was delivered
from someone else to Bittenfeld.Copy !req
7. It was from Merkatz...Copy !req
8. . proposing to surrender to Kaiser Reinhard
and betray the opposition from within.Copy !req
9. I need to confer
with Fahrenheit.Copy !req
10. Open the communication channel.Copy !req
11. Fahrenheit Fleet Flagship - AhsgrimmCopy !req
12. It's not worth debating.
It's undoubtedly a trap.Copy !req
13. Though Admiral Merkatz is
an enemy to our camp...Copy !req
14. he is not someone
who would change his ways.Copy !req
15. I know it's a trap, even
without your instruction.Copy !req
16. What I'm concerned about is
what the trap is aiming to do.Copy !req
17. I see.Copy !req
18. Then I presume you have your own
answer to that question, don't you?Copy !req
19. I would like to
hear it first.Copy !req
20. They must be planning to catch us off guard,
and execute a swift counterattack.Copy !req
21. Umm, yes.Copy !req
22. That's the only
conclusion I can come to.Copy !req
23. But...Copy !req
24. But...?Copy !req
25. I wonder if someone as astute as Yang Wenli
or Merkatz would employ such shallow tricks.Copy !req
26. Then can it be the
"trick of relaxation" ?Copy !req
27. "Trick of relaxation" ?Copy !req
28. You mean that they'd first send Merkatz to
surrender as a decoy to make us relax...Copy !req
29. and then attack us
while we're off-guard?Copy !req
30. But to use such a ruthless scheme that
would sacrifice Merkatz from the beginning...Copy !req
31. I don't think
Yang would do so.Copy !req
32. You may be right, considering
Yang's personality alone.Copy !req
33. But if Merkatz himself had asked
for it, it would be a different story.Copy !req
34. He has probably been
looking for a place to die.Copy !req
35. He just might accept
a task like that.Copy !req
36. I see.Copy !req
37. We should assume that things might
get dangerous after their next transmission.Copy !req
38. I understand the situation.Copy !req
39. I will put my fleet on alert and watch
for movement by the opposition.Copy !req
40. That weasel.Copy !req
41. We cannot initiate our move
until after the Kaiser arrives.Copy !req
42. He must be hoping that the
enemy will strike first.Copy !req
43. This time around, I'm the one
who has to call for restraint.Copy !req
44. It doesn't suit my personality,
but it can't be helped.Copy !req
45. Both Bittenfeld and Fahrenheit
normally are better at offense.Copy !req
46. Because these two took
the stance of anticipating...Copy !req
47. and then reacting to
their opponent's movements...Copy !req
48. their usual aggressiveness
had to be neutralized.Copy !req
49. On the other hand, on the
other end of the Iserlohn Corridor...Copy !req
50. the Mecklinger Fleet had no way
of knowing their current situation...Copy !req
51. due to considerable
interference from the Fortress.Copy !req
52. Thus, in accordance with Kaiser Reinhard's
orders, which were relayed from Phezzan...Copy !req
53. Mecklinger Fleet Flagship - KvasirCopy !req
54. they were encroaching into
the Iserlohn Corridor as planned.Copy !req
55. The purpose of this was to check Yang's
participation into the battle from behind...Copy !req
56. and depending on
the situation...Copy !req
57. open fire and slow down the battle
until the main Imperial fleet arrives.Copy !req
58. An enemy fleet is swiftly
approaching from directly ahead.Copy !req
59. The number is...
over 20,000 ships!Copy !req
60. Over 20,000 ships?Copy !req
61. All ships, retreat.Copy !req
62. We cannot engage in battle.Copy !req
63. Admiral, certainly our fleet of 15,900
ships has a size disadvantage...Copy !req
64. Admiral StraussCopy !req
65. but to retreat without
even fighting would be...Copy !req
66. We've underestimated the size of the
Alliance fleet stationed in Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
67. If they're capable of putting a fleet
of over 20,000 ships into this area...Copy !req
68. it means that the opposition's total
number would be over 50,000 ships.Copy !req
69. If we allow their
penetration here...Copy !req
70. the Reich mainland does not have any
sizable mobile forces to stop them.Copy !req
71. Thus, if the enemy wishes to, it can
strike the Reich capital, Odin, directly.Copy !req
72. We cannot afford to risk that.Copy !req
73. Currently, the most important thing we can do
is retreat and guard the exit of the Corridor.Copy !req
74. I understand.Copy !req
75. All ships, retreat!Copy !req
76. We will head to the exit of the Corridor
and position our forces there!Copy !req
77. In other words, the militaristic advantage
that the Reich has is as fragile as that.Copy !req
78. Admiral Merkatz's Flagship - HyperionCopy !req
79. Admiral Fischer's Flagship - ShivaCopy !req
80. In reality, the fleet that had
launched from Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
81. Admiral Attenborough's Flagship - MasasoiteCopy !req
82. was essentially the
entirety of the Yang Fleet.Copy !req
83. Yang Fleet Supreme Flagship - UlyssesCopy !req
84. The Imperial Fleet is retreating!Copy !req
85. Good.Copy !req
86. Leave only the reconnaissance
ships and we'll also retreat.Copy !req
87. We'll proceed to
our next plan.Copy !req
88. The biggest weakness
of the Imperial fleet...Copy !req
89. was precisely the fact that
its entire fleet was so large.Copy !req
90. Due to its large size...Copy !req
91. the extended lines of communication
made coordination among units difficult.Copy !req
92. Yang took full
advantage of this.Copy !req
93. He first sent the message to Bittenfeld
to put them into a passive defense...Copy !req
94. and to minimize the possibility
of their entrance into the Corridor.Copy !req
95. Then he checked the movement of Mecklinger's fleet to his rear with the entirety of his fleet...Copy !req
96. in order to confront the
opposition to his front.Copy !req
97. On April 29th, still unaware of the
withdrawal of the Mecklinger Fleet...Copy !req
98. Bittenfeld received a second
message from Merkatz.Copy !req
99. It seems Admiral Merkatz has escaped
from the Fortress and is on his way.Copy !req
100. Just as I thought. Tell him
we'll welcome him as a guest.Copy !req
101. Are you sure it's okay?Copy !req
102. Fahrenheit has agreed to it.Copy !req
103. I mean, shouldn't we report it to the
Kaiser and ask for instructions?Copy !req
104. Rear Admiral EugenCopy !req
105. We don't have
enough time for that.Copy !req
106. The enemy is making
a move right now.Copy !req
107. Besides, we'll lose our chance to pincer-attack
the enemy with Mecklinger's fleet.Copy !req
108. The enemy thinks we're
letting our guard down.Copy !req
109. There must be an enemy ambuscade
right behind the decoy Merkatz Fleet.Copy !req
110. We'll make the first
move and intercept them!Copy !req
111. The enemy ships
are approaching!Copy !req
112. Don't move yet.Copy !req
113. Pretend not to notice them until
the opposition gets closer.Copy !req
114. We've located the enemy fleet.Copy !req
115. The number is
approximately 5,000.Copy !req
116. Just as I thought.Copy !req
117. The first move will win it!Copy !req
118. Go!Copy !req
119. All right.Copy !req
120. All ships, pretend to be
surprised and run away, okay?Copy !req
121. Don't rush!Copy !req
122. As long as we maintain our distance and don't get inside the enemy's effective range we'll be safe!Copy !req
123. When your enemy is
the Black Lancers...Copy !req
124. the pretense of running away
becomes a life-or-death act.Copy !req
125. The enemy fleet is
running away in defeat!Copy !req
126. Running away in defeat?Copy !req
127. Don't you think they're
a cute little bunch?Copy !req
128. What do you think, Staff Officer?Copy !req
129. Admiral GrobnerCopy !req
130. They seem to be luring
us inside the Corridor...Copy !req
131. while trying to maintain their distance
outside our effective range.Copy !req
132. I agree.Copy !req
133. How about if we slow
down our pursuit?Copy !req
134. That should clarify the
enemy's intention, I think.Copy !req
135. The enemy fleet
is slowing down!Copy !req
136. That Bittenfeld, it seems
he's gotten a little bit wiser.Copy !req
137. Stop retreating!Copy !req
138. Move forward and dangle the bait
in front of their noses one more time.Copy !req
139. Just as I thought.Copy !req
140. What a smartass!Copy !req
141. At the right time, slow
down our pursuit again.Copy !req
142. Pardon?Copy !req
143. But this time, we'll charge forward
right when they make a turn...Copy !req
144. and without giving them time
to run away, we'll envelop them.Copy !req
145. The opposition is
slowing down again.Copy !req
146. Why doesn't he just
follow us already?Copy !req
147. How unlike him.Copy !req
148. It seems the enemy hasn't gotten
a big enough whiff of the bait.Copy !req
149. Let them smell it again.Copy !req
150. They fell for it!Copy !req
151. All ships, charge!Copy !req
152. No!Copy !req
153. All ships, turn!Copy !req
154. Retreat right away!Copy !req
155. Don't let them get away!Copy !req
156. Make them pay for
belittling the Black Lancers!Copy !req
157. That Bittenfeld,
what a scoundrel.Copy !req
158. This is what he
intended to do all along.Copy !req
159. He should be asking for
the Kaiser's instructions.Copy !req
160. Commander SandersCopy !req
161. What should our fleet do?Copy !req
162. When friendly forces are
exchanging fire right in front of us...Copy !req
163. I don't think we can
just be spectators.Copy !req
164. Our fleet will also
enter the Corridor.Copy !req
165. Take a spindle
formation and charge in.Copy !req
166. Yes, sir.Copy !req
167. I suppose it
should be fine.Copy !req
168. As long as Bittenfeld takes the responsibility
for opening fire without permission.Copy !req
169. In any case, dispatch a communication
shuttle and report the opening of the battle.Copy !req
170. 29 April - 10:45Copy !req
171. The Imperial Force has the unparalleled
Kaiser and many distinguished admirals.Copy !req
172. The Iserlohn Corridor is too
narrow for all of them.Copy !req
173. Our chance lies
in that narrowness.Copy !req
174. Let's take full
advantage of it.Copy !req
175. 11:30Copy !req
176. We've let the guests in.Copy !req
177. Good work.Copy !req
178. Repay your debt in some tangible
form somewhere down the road, please.Copy !req
179. The enemy has broken through the yellow
zone, and is encroaching upon the red zone!Copy !req
180. 0.4 light seconds till they enter
our main cannons' effective range!Copy !req
181. Prepare to fire.Copy !req
182. The opposition has entered
our effective range.Copy !req
183. Fire!Copy !req
184. Don't flinch!Copy !req
185. Counterattack!Copy !req
186. Utilizing the full
space of the Corridor...Copy !req
187. move in from the right flank
of the Black Lancers ahead of us...Copy !req
188. into the left flank
of the enemy fleet!Copy !req
189. All right.Copy !req
190. Open up our deployment and
move into a concave formation.Copy !req
191. Concave formation.Copy !req
192. What're you doing?Copy !req
193. As it is, we're falling
into the enemy's scheme.Copy !req
194. Open up our
formation horizontally.Copy !req
195. If we cluster together,
we'll all be annihilated!Copy !req
196. We can't!Copy !req
197. The Corridor is too
narrow for us to open up.Copy !req
198. Don't bother
with euphemisms!Copy !req
199. Why don't you just say straight out that
the Fahrenheit Fleet is getting in our way?Copy !req
200. Fahrenheit should've stayed
behind as the second line.Copy !req
201. Because he forced his way in, our movements
are restricted inside this narrow corridor!Copy !req
202. You're right, but the enemy
fleet numbers over 20,000 ships.Copy !req
203. Our fleet alone is 15,000 ships.
We'd be at a disadvantage size-wise.Copy !req
204. Those wild boars of
the Black Lancers...Copy !req
205. They should just
dig their own graves.Copy !req
206. Don't get us involved!Copy !req
207. Watch your words.Copy !req
208. Yes, I apologize.Copy !req
209. But, Admiral, at this rate, our two fleets will
be destroyed, as we're unable to move about.Copy !req
210. Vice Admiral BuxtehudeCopy !req
211. Why don't we leave the Black Lancers in
charge of this location and retreat for now?Copy !req
212. I think so, too, but retreating from the
enemy will be an extremely difficult task.Copy !req
213. Fleet Commander!Copy !req
214. This appears to have been a trap to
lure us inside the Corridor all along!Copy !req
215. In order to avoid the Kaiser's wrath, I would
think it would be prudent to withdraw...Copy !req
216. accepting the certain amount
of loss that it might entail.Copy !req
217. Bittenfeld already knew
what Eugen was suggesting.Copy !req
218. But there was the concern that
if they retreat in this formation...Copy !req
219. they might suffer a half-envelopment
pursuit from the Yang Fleet.Copy !req
220. Rather, they might be better off
attempting a forceful, frontal penetration...Copy !req
221. All ships, fire three times!Copy !req
222. Afterwards, advance at full speed!Copy !req
223. Matching up with the enemy advancement,
the center area should retreat.Copy !req
224. The left and right
flanks should advance.Copy !req
225. Now!Copy !req
226. Retreat!Copy !req
227. T... this is...!Copy !req
228. Don't flinch!Copy !req
229. Move forward!Copy !req
230. If we forcefully get into close combat,
there's a chance for victory!Copy !req
231. If we get into a melee and if the
battle gets out of Yang's control...Copy !req
232. the Yang Fleet will be nothing but a
patchwork made of pathetic soldiers!Copy !req
233. Remember the Battle
of Vermilion last year!Copy !req
234. You of the Imperial Fleets
became all but space dust...Copy !req
235. in the aftermath of the total,
complete, undisputed defeat!Copy !req
236. We forgave you out
of sheer mercy...Copy !req
237. but you forgot your gratitude
and launched another invasion!Copy !req
238. Your Kaiser may be handsome
but he's a true scoundrel!Copy !req
239. Bastards, I won't forgive them!Copy !req
240. All ships, take down the enemy ships, even
if you have to die upon each other's sword!Copy !req
241. Admiral, that's impossible!Copy !req
242. How is it impossible?Copy !req
243. They're 20,000 ships.Copy !req
244. Combined with the Fahrenheit
Fleet, we're 30,000 ships.Copy !req
245. If each ship takes
out one enemy ship...Copy !req
246. we'll annihilate them all and
still be left with 10,000 ships!Copy !req
247. Sieg Kaiser!Copy !req
248. Die Kaiser!Copy !req
249. It Commander Soun SoulCopy !req
250. That fool, Bittenfeld...Copy !req
251. Does he think he'll be all right as
long as he charges forward?Copy !req
252. No, if we get into a war of attrition,
we'll be at a disadvantage.Copy !req
253. Admiral, even as we take out the enemy
fleet, our losses are markedly excessive.Copy !req
254. At this rate, our fleet
alone will be depleted.Copy !req
255. At this point, I wonder if we
should retreat for the time being.Copy !req
256. It will be a disgrace for the Black Lancers
to withdraw from the enemy front!Copy !req
257. But, Admiral, if we let our fleet...Copy !req
258. that the Kaiser bestowed upon us,
disappear from the face of this universe...Copy !req
259. after attacking without permission,
we will not be able to face the Kaiser.Copy !req
260. We have no
choice it seems...Copy !req
261. They've finally retreated...Copy !req
262. The enemy, the Fahrenheit
Fleet, is charging in!Copy !req
263. No tactics are necessary
for such a large force.Copy !req
264. There is only offense!
Just move forward and attack!Copy !req
265. It seems the situation might turn out to
be the one I was most worried about...Copy !req
266. What happened?Copy !req
267. Don't slacken our attack!Copy !req
268. The reaction of the left side of the
enemy fleet is getting slower.Copy !req
269. That was the fleet that acted as
the decoy in the beginning, but...Copy !req
270. Then they must be at
the height of fatigue.Copy !req
271. Concentrate the
attack on that side.Copy !req
272. Now!Copy !req
273. Charge past the left
wing of the enemy...Copy !req
274. and swing starboard to penetrate
into Yang's main fleet!Copy !req
275. No!Copy !req
276. We've split up the enemy.Copy !req
277. It's coming from portside!Copy !req
278. Don't panic.Copy !req
279. Our fleet will turn portside
and let them through to the right.Copy !req
280. If we get our right wing to
the left side of the opposition...Copy !req
281. we'll be able to envelop them
inside the centroid formation again.Copy !req
282. How is the reorganization of
the fleet formation proceeding?Copy !req
283. It's almost finished.Copy !req
284. Good. Then we'll
charge in again.Copy !req
285. Admiral!Copy !req
286. The enemy has been in continuous
combat and must be fatigued.Copy !req
287. Here, it's important for us to attack
again and not let them recuperate.Copy !req
288. Besides, Fahrenheit
seems to be in trouble.Copy !req
289. We can't leave him isolated.Copy !req
290. Just as I thought.Copy !req
291. The morale of the
opposition is floundering.Copy !req
292. We should converge with the Fahrenheit
Fleet and aim to reorganize our fleets.Copy !req
293. All right, keep this course
and cluster together...Copy !req
294. With this, we have
the size advantage.Copy !req
295. This is...!Copy !req
296. What happened?Copy !req
297. Before we knew, we've been
surrounded by the enemy.Copy !req
298. What?Copy !req
299. What's the meaning of this?Copy !req
300. How can we have the size
advantage and still be surrounded?Copy !req
301. The enemy is utilizing the
Corridor's dangerous space-zones...Copy !req
302. to make up for
their size disadvantage.Copy !req
303. If we move about without caution,
we'll get into the shock-wave dimensions!Copy !req
304. Dammit!Copy !req
305. How sneaky of them...!Copy !req
306. Undo the cluster formation!Copy !req
307. It was their aim
to get us to converge!Copy !req
308. The enemy's right wing
fleet is in front of us!Copy !req
309. Strike past them!Copy !req
310. Prepare to launch
combat aircraft.Copy !req
311. Dry Gin, Liquor, Sherry, Absinthe, all squadrons, are you ready to launch?Copy !req
312. Okay!Copy !req
313. What happened?Copy !req
314. Are you scared, Karin?Copy !req
315. No, Commander,
I'm not scared.Copy !req
316. It's good that you're
cutting an attitude.Copy !req
317. Even if the clothes are too large in the
beginning, they'll fill out as you grow.Copy !req
318. The same goes for courage.Copy !req
319. Yes, Commander.Copy !req
320. This is what Life Counselor
Poplan lectured irresponsibly.Copy !req
321. In the end, it's
someone else's life.Copy !req
322. Karin, if you can execute about 62.4%
of what I taught you, you'll survive.Copy !req
323. The secret of not getting killed by the
enemy is to underestimate life's difficulties.Copy !req
324. All right, go!Copy !req
325. Katerose von Kreuzer,
pull yourself together!Copy !req
326. If you show your pathetic self,
that guy will laugh at you!Copy !req
327. "That guy" ?Copy !req
328. Who am I talking about?Copy !req
329. To...Copy !req
330. underestimate...Copy !req
331. life's difficulties...!Copy !req
332. Combat aircraft have been
launched from the right wing fleet.Copy !req
333. The enemy has begun close combat
with small combat aircraft.Copy !req
334. This tactic...Copy !req
335. It's Admiral Merkatz.Copy !req
336. Goodbye.Copy !req
337. I doubt we'll ever meet again.Copy !req
338. Good.Copy !req
339. This is what
I've looked for.Copy !req
340. We'll concentrate our attack on one point
and forcefully penetrate the enemy line!Copy !req
341. That Fahrenheit, he's good.Copy !req
342. But...Copy !req
343. The Fahrenheit Fleet is taking
down the enemy line.Copy !req
344. It seems they're
creating an escape route.Copy !req
345. We will also penetrate through the enemy
line and proceed to the exit of the Corridor.Copy !req
346. What?Copy !req
347. There's a pinpoint attack from the
opposition at the exit of the Corridor...Copy !req
348. It's become a crossfire point.Copy !req
349. But if we don't get through there,
we can't get out of the Corridor.Copy !req
350. How villainous...!Copy !req
351. Our fleet is split
up in many places!Copy !req
352. Still, we have no choice but
to attempt a forceful escape!Copy !req
353. This ship will remain at the rear-most end
to support the withdrawal of our fleet.Copy !req
354. Yes, sir!Copy !req
355. Yang Wenli's cunning
is to be feared.Copy !req
356. Even though I knew of it,
I still fell for it.Copy !req
357. The vein of my luck in battles
must have been depleted...Copy !req
358. 23:15Copy !req
359. I was born to a poor aristocrat's family
like that of His Majesty, Kaiser Reinhard...Copy !req
360. and joined the force
just to earn bread.Copy !req
361. Many times I encountered
incompetent superiors and leaders...Copy !req
362. But in the end, since I was able to
serve the incomparable Kaiser...Copy !req
363. I must say I had
a rather fortunate life.Copy !req
364. If the order were reversed, it would
have been unbearable even to watch.Copy !req
365. What're you doing here?Copy !req
366. Why don't you
evacuate right away?Copy !req
367. Admiral...Copy !req
368. Go now!Copy !req
369. If Adelbert von Fahrenheit takes a child's
life with him when he dies in battle...Copy !req
370. when I get to Valhalla,
my chair will be a smaller one.Copy !req
371. Then please give me
a keepsake of yours!Copy !req
372. I will take it to His Majesty,
no matter the cost!Copy !req
373. All right.Copy !req
374. I will give
you a keepsake.Copy !req
375. It's your life.Copy !req
376. Live and go
meet the Kaiser.Copy !req
377. Don't die...Copy !req
378. 23:25Copy !req
379. Because of the gallant battle that Fahrenheit
put up, literally at the cost of his life...Copy !req
380. the Imperial forces narrowly escaped
the danger of complete destruction.Copy !req
