5. Iserlohn FortressCopy !req
6. On May 6th of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
7. the Yang Fleet retreated to Iserlohn Fortress
as the Imperial Fleet made its withdrawal.Copy !req
8. The soldiers were excessively fatigued and depleted having fought battle after battle.Copy !req
9. It was obvious to anyone's eyes that the advantage the Yang Fleet held stood on thin ice.Copy !req
10. But their morale was still high.Copy !req
11. Yang Fleet Supreme Flagship - UlyssesCopy !req
12. Oh, I slept well.Copy !req
13. I must have slept like
20 hours straight.Copy !req
14. Unbelievably, you slept alone.Copy !req
15. Yeah, it's nice to reaffirm the
breadth of the bed once in a while.Copy !req
16. After all, there's no
double-size caskets.Copy !req
17. That line was good.Copy !req
18. I'll write it down.Copy !req
19. It seems you'll be using up your lifetime
reservoir of industry here, Admiral Yang.Copy !req
20. I thought I had already used up
a lifetime's worth at El Facil.Copy !req
21. But still, there is a limit to how
much we can withstand...Copy !req
22. the Imperial Fleet's material
resourcefulness with our industry.Copy !req
23. If the Imperial Fleet takes advantage that particular strategy we don't stand a chance.Copy !req
24. Therefore, we must go on the offensive
and overwhelm them before that happens.Copy !req
25. Any questions?Copy !req
26. Prepare to launch immediately.Copy !req
27. Yes, sir.Copy !req
28. I've recently gained confidence
in fleet navigation.Copy !req
29. After this battle is over,
just like Vice Admiral Attenborough...Copy !req
30. maybe I'll pretend to be wise
and write a book or something.Copy !req
31. So long.Copy !req
32. At 23:00 on May 7th, the Yang Fleet
once again launched a full-frontal attack.Copy !req
33. One of the enemy units is stationing itself
in front of the Kaiser as if to put up a wall.Copy !req
34. Yeah, that must be the
fleet of "Iron-Shield" Muller.Copy !req
35. It's suited to his nickname that
he's trying to protect his master.Copy !req
36. Just the fact that he has
him as his subordinate...Copy !req
37. makes Kaiser Reinhard's name
worthy of being known to posterity.Copy !req
38. Muller, or even the deceased
Fahrenheit or Steinmetz...Copy !req
39. It's not like they were risking
their lives for autocracy.Copy !req
40. For this one person,
Reinhard von Lohengramm...Copy !req
41. they're fighting with their lives only
for the loyalty they have to him.Copy !req
42. In other words, people follow people,
but not necessarily ideals or institutions.Copy !req
43. Then I wonder if Julian,
in the end, is fighting for me.Copy !req
44. But that's not the
way it should be.Copy !req
45. His reason for fighting shouldn't
be loyalty to one individual...Copy !req
46. but rather to the ideal
and institution of democracy.Copy !req
47. Oh no, I never wanted Julian to
become a soldier to begin with.Copy !req
48. It's a silly thing to harp
on his reason to fight.Copy !req
49. Even into May 8th, the melee
between the two sides continued.Copy !req
50. Muller's participation in the battle
temporarily forced Yang to retreat...Copy !req
51. but it did not bring a dramatic
change to the battle situation.Copy !req
52. Unlike the time at Vermilion...Copy !req
53. Yang had already accounted for
Muller's entry into the battle.Copy !req
54. Being overwhelmingly inferior
in terms of numbers...Copy !req
55. the Yang Fleet took advantage of
the geography of the Corridor.Copy !req
56. They used mines and concentrated artillery
attacks to divide up the enemy fleets...Copy !req
57. and attacked them one
by one with time lags.Copy !req
58. Muller, after his
initial positioning...Copy !req
59. Muller Fleet Flagship - ParcivaleCopy !req
60. couldn't move his units freely and
had to bear continual localized battles.Copy !req
61. Front, back, left, right, top, bottom; all
directions are filled with friendly vessels.Copy !req
62. So why is our fleet
still at a disadvantage?Copy !req
63. Admiral Volker Axel von BuroCopy !req
64. That was because of the sequence of
small but necessary battles and movements.Copy !req
65. In the midst of this fierce battle a report of Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer's death in battle...Copy !req
66. Mittermeyer Fleet Flagship - BeiowolfCopy !req
67. was delivered to
Supreme Headquarters.Copy !req
68. There's a message
from the Beiowolf.Copy !req
69. "I was fortunate in misfortune, and
my feet still remain on this world."Copy !req
70. "The enemy's fire did not break
open the gates of Valhalla."Copy !req
71. The message is directly from
Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer himself.Copy !req
72. At this time, Kaiser Reinhard made up his mind to carry out a decisive and dreadful plan.Copy !req
73. On May 9th, in a strategic meeting
held in the midst of the battle...Copy !req
74. the Kaiser declared
his intentions.Copy !req
75. First, he announced the posthumous promotion of Steinmetz, to the rank of Fleet Admiral...Copy !req
76. and Hilda's appointment as the Superintendent of Staff Officers, equivalent to a Vice Admiral.Copy !req
77. In all of my
previous battles...Copy !req
78. I have never been rewarded with good
results for being on the defensive.Copy !req
79. Since I had forgotten this fact, the gods
of battle have punished my slothfulness.Copy !req
80. That is the reason I have not
triumphed thus far in this battle.Copy !req
81. Yang Wenli is taking advantage of the
narrow geography of the Corridor...Copy !req
82. forcing our fleet into a defile formation,
making up for his inferiority in numbers.Copy !req
83. I attempted to go against it with elaborate but
deliberate execution, but this was a mistake!Copy !req
84. The path my fleet and I should take is to
crush his resistance with sheer power...Copy !req
85. so as not to
let him rise again!Copy !req
86. I don't think Yang Wenli desires
the whole of the universe.Copy !req
87. If you'll excuse me, I must say that
if making concessions are necessary...Copy !req
88. the right and responsibility to do
so are in Your Majesty's hands.Copy !req
89. Fraulein Mariendorf,
according to what you say...Copy !req
90. it sounds as though you're implying that I am responsible for running down Yang Wenli...Copy !req
91. and turning him
into a cornered mouse.Copy !req
92. Yes, that's what I said.Copy !req
93. You are probably the only person in
the world with the nerve to say that...Copy !req
94. to the ruler of
the universe, Fraulein.Copy !req
95. Your courage and candor
are praiseworthy...Copy !req
96. but if you think I am pleased with
them all the time, you are mistaken.Copy !req
97. It was on May 10th that the second stage of the Battle of the Corridor began in this manner.Copy !req
98. As a fleet movement,
it was a simple one.Copy !req
99. Advance in a defile formation,
launch concentrated artillery attacks...Copy !req
100. and turn around in front of the enemy while
still attacking and retreating at the same time.Copy !req
101. When the first line retreats,
the second line moves forward;Copy !req
102. and the same sequence is
repeated over and over again.Copy !req
103. This is a strategy of attrition that relied
on the overwhelming number differential.Copy !req
104. This strategy was precisely
what Yang was afraid of.Copy !req
105. 11 May - 6:45Copy !req
106. At this rate, since our recovery rate
is inferior, we won't stand a chance.Copy !req
107. We should retreat
to Iserlohn Fortress now...Copy !req
108. and use the Thor Hammer to respond
to the wave attacks by the opposition.Copy !req
109. I agree, I agree!Copy !req
110. I'd like to do that, too,
but our opponent is Muller.Copy !req
111. He knows precisely how to
attack Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
112. If we retreat, he'll take advantage
of it and swiftly move in.Copy !req
113. Using parallel pursuit
to create a melee situation...Copy !req
114. is a tactic to neutralize
the Thor Hammer.Copy !req
115. The enemy attack
is coming again!Copy !req
116. Intercept them.Copy !req
117. In the 7th Spacezone...Copy !req
118. . the unit led by Commodore Desch is
being half-enveloped by the opposition!Copy !req
119. Dispatch high-speed vessels from
the Command Fleet to rescue them.Copy !req
120. Dammit.Copy !req
121. They're not even giving me the
time to come up with a strategy.Copy !req
122. But that's one of
their objectives, too.Copy !req
123. Imperial Fleet Supreme Flagship - BrunhildCopy !req
124. Emil.Copy !req
125. Yes, Fraulein.Copy !req
126. Did His Majesty
eat anything?Copy !req
127. No.Copy !req
128. He barely touched it.Copy !req
129. I see. Was there anything
else that you noticed?Copy !req
130. About His Majesty's
health, you mean?Copy !req
131. Yes.Copy !req
132. I wonder if he might perhaps
have a slight fever.Copy !req
133. Yes, that's what I'm
concerned about, too.Copy !req
134. But it could just be that he is excited
about being in the midst of battle...Copy !req
135. and His Majesty
hasn't said anything.Copy !req
136. I see.Copy !req
137. Anyway, please do
keep an eye on him.Copy !req
138. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
139. Muller's wave-attacks
ultimately lasted 30 hours...Copy !req
140. but in the end he retreated, as he
himself became fatigued and losses mounted.Copy !req
141. 12 May - 12:45Copy !req
142. But immediately afterwards,
the Imperial Fleet's second line...Copy !req
143. the Eisenach Fleet, charged in and launched a fierce attack.Copy !req
144. Damn!Copy !req
145. Fresh guys are coming in.Copy !req
146. It's unfair that the opponent is the only
one who can do a tag-team match.Copy !req
147. Let's retreat from here.Copy !req
148. The opposition is
trying to flank us!Copy !req
149. At this rate, we'll be
isolated among the enemy!Copy !req
150. What do you plan
to do, Commander?Copy !req
151. Don't worry.Copy !req
152. They're the ones
who're in a pinch.Copy !req
153. Plug their retreat route
and let's sandbag them.Copy !req
154. Huh?Copy !req
155. Commodore MarinoCopy !req
156. All right, go!Copy !req
157. Yes, sir. While the flagship retreats,
the right wing will intercept the opposition!Copy !req
158. Vice Admiral SchaudinnCopy !req
159. Organize the fleet line,
and don't leave any openings!Copy !req
160. Admiral, although our ship
has escaped immediate danger...Copy !req
161. our fleet is still under
the enemy's pincer-attack.Copy !req
162. At this rate, our
losses will increase.Copy !req
163. I would think it would be
better to retreat for now.Copy !req
164. 13 MayCopy !req
165. While retreating, Eisenach intentionally
left openings in his fleet lines.Copy !req
166. Of course, Yang did not
go for that invitation.Copy !req
167. First, before the
next attack came...Copy !req
168. his fleet needed more ammunition,
food, energy, and medical supplies...Copy !req
169. as well as to send back the
injured soldiers and replace them.Copy !req
170. We're nearing our limit.Copy !req
171. Yeah.Copy !req
172. The third line of the
enemy is closing in!Copy !req
173. Those were the fleets led by
Buro, Bayerlein, Sinzer and Droisen...Copy !req
174. all admirals under
Mittermeyer's command.Copy !req
175. Because of the damage to
Mittermeyer's flagship, the Beiowulf...Copy !req
176. Kaiser Reinhard did not permit
him to return to the front lines.Copy !req
177. Therefore, in his place, he
left his subordinates in charge.Copy !req
178. Fueled by their anger from being
worried over the erroneous news...Copy !req
179. of Mittermeyer's death in battle,
they attacked ferociously.Copy !req
180. But the Yang Fleet repelled this
third line of attack as well.Copy !req
181. Not only that,
at 23:00 on May 14th...Copy !req
182. they went on the offensive, charging out
instead to break down the Imperial Fleet.Copy !req
183. Because of this, the
fourth line of attack...Copy !req
184. composed of the combined Black Lancers
and former Fahrenheit Fleet...Copy !req
185. which was preparing to launch, was
forestalled, and fell into temporary disarray.Copy !req
186. Numbers alone won't
make for an advantage.Copy !req
187. We'll leave Hofmeister to command
the former Fahrenheit Fleet.Copy !req
188. Our Black Lancers
will move on our own.Copy !req
189. Bittenfeld, having managed
in the initial confusion...Copy !req
190. deployed a small unit, with his own
flagship, the Konigs Tiger, at the core...Copy !req
191. and charged in, attempting to break down the core of the Yang Fleet with one blow.Copy !req
192. The opposition is
steadily moving in on us.Copy !req
193. He's definitely not just
a mere wild-boar warrior.Copy !req
194. While we put up an artillery barrage to
protect ourselves from the enemy attack...Copy !req
195. we'll also attempt to deflect
their attack toward the left wing.Copy !req
196. In the meantime, we'll
contract the battle line...Copy !req
197. suspend the left wing's advance, and instead
have them press into the enemy's flank.Copy !req
198. I see.Copy !req
199. This is an unexpected
miscalculation.Copy !req
200. Bittenfeld didn't recoil
at all from his initial defeat.Copy !req
201. His morale seems
higher than ever.Copy !req
202. Attacked from the side by the left wing
of the Yang Fleet, led by Merkatz...Copy !req
203. the Black Lancers were completely
engulfed in a pincer-attack.Copy !req
204. But in this instance...Copy !req
205. the one that was being attacked was much
stronger than the ones that were attacking.Copy !req
206. Even their numbers were small they were still the most elite troops among the Black Lancers...Copy !req
207. with the reputation of being the
"the most powerful in the universe."Copy !req
208. Moreover, in the
narrow Corridor...Copy !req
209. their fewer numbers strengthened
the unity of their command system...Copy !req
210. and the Black Lancers demonstrated their
destructive capability to its fullest.Copy !req
211. Just keep firing away!Copy !req
212. Fire until your energy is depleted!
Stop them at all costs!Copy !req
213. Their coordination with
the other enemy unit is poor.Copy !req
214. Let Attenborough attack the other unit and
put pressure on their command system.Copy !req
215. Admiral, our allies
are retreating.Copy !req
216. At this rate, the battle line
will get too elongated...Copy !req
217. and even we will be forced
to be isolated among the enemy.Copy !req
218. Admiral!Copy !req
219. I know!Copy !req
220. All shipsCopy !req
221. retreat!Copy !req
222. 15 May - 19:20Copy !req
223. Damn you, Yang Wenli!Copy !req
224. He got away yet again!Copy !req
225. Having failed to defeat Yang,
Bittenfeld burned with mortification.Copy !req
226. But without knowing it, he inflicted
irreparable damage to the Yang Fleet.Copy !req
227. The Shiva has
not returned?Copy !req
228. Has its destruction
been confirmed?Copy !req
229. At 17:45 communications ceased, but...Copy !req
230. Battleship Aeria appears to have confirmed
the sinking of the Shiva at the same hour.Copy !req
231. What happened
to Admiral Fischer?Copy !req
232. Reportedly, no one
was able to evacuate.Copy !req
233. Oh, no...Copy !req
234. In that melee battle...Copy !req
235. This sucks...Copy !req
236. Our live navigation map just
became a dead navigation map.Copy !req
237. From now on, we can't even go
hiking in the forest anymore.Copy !req
238. Vice Admiral Edwin Fischer's death in battle
dealt a serious blow to the Yang Fleet.Copy !req
239. Yang's "Legend of Invincibility" owed
much to the well-coordinated movement...Copy !req
240. of the Yang Fleet that complemented his tactical brilliance.Copy !req
241. The perfect combination of Fischer's
mastery of fleet movements...Copy !req
242. and Yang's perspicuity in
discerning such talent...Copy !req
243. as well as his large-heartedness to leave him entirely in charge of fleet movements...Copy !req
244. was what had sustained
their victories thus far.Copy !req
245. In a way, it was as though
Yang had lost one of his legs.Copy !req
246. At this stage, Yang
was beginning to feel...Copy !req
247. that he wouldn't be able to withstand the
Imperial Fleet's fierce attacks for much longer.Copy !req
248. In actuality, if the Empire had launched another wave of full-frontal attacks at that moment...Copy !req
249. Yang would have been forced
to retreat to Iserlohn Fortress.Copy !req
250. But the Imperial Fleet
did not make a move.Copy !req
251. 16 MayCopy !req
252. Of course, for one thing, the
Imperial Fleet wasn't omniscient...Copy !req
253. and was unaware of the fatal blow
it had dealt to the Yang Fleet.Copy !req
254. But an even graver situation had
arisen within the Imperial Fleet.Copy !req
255. Kaiser Reinhard
had fallen ill.Copy !req
256. What do the doctors say?Copy !req
257. They're not sure of the exact cause;
they say it must be from fatigue.Copy !req
258. Certainly, His Majesty
doesn't know how to rest.Copy !req
259. War is essentially like indispensable nutrition
for our blond ruler to sustain himself.Copy !req
260. Those repeated fevers might be
a result of his body's inability...Copy !req
261. to handle his spirit's
limitless desire.Copy !req
262. Right now, I would think it would be wise to
withdraw our fleets outside the Corridor.Copy !req
263. Of course, we'll keep secret the
fact of the Kaiser's illness.Copy !req
264. You're right.Copy !req
265. That's what we should do.Copy !req
266. But once again, we
couldn't defeat Yang Wenli.Copy !req
267. We've conquered the entire universe,
but we can't conquer one individual.Copy !req
268. 17 MayCopy !req
269. On May 17th, the Imperial
Fleet began its withdrawal.Copy !req
270. Having lost 2,000,000 soldiers
and 24,400 ships...Copy !req
271. they were finally forced to
retreat from Iserlohn Corridor.Copy !req
272. Should we pursue them?Copy !req
273. No, there's no
chance for that.Copy !req
274. And their rear guard unit is the fleet led
by the aforementioned "Iron-Shield" Muller.Copy !req
275. If we attack them thoughtlessly,
we'll just suffer a counterattack.Copy !req
276. Besides, we don't have
the strength left to fight.Copy !req
277. We should retreat to
the fortress ourselves.Copy !req
278. Yang, after setting
up the mines again...Copy !req
279. started his withdrawal to Iserlohn
Fortress, with his fleet still on alert.Copy !req
280. 18 MayCopy !req
281. Frederica, are you all right?Copy !req
282. Um, yes, I was
just a little dizzy.Copy !req
283. You have a fever.Copy !req
284. Did you catch cold?Copy !req
285. I'm sorry.Copy !req
286. But I'm okay.Copy !req
287. You must be fatigued.Copy !req
288. We're all set here,
so get some rest.Copy !req
289. But...Copy !req
290. No, get some rest.Copy !req
291. This is an order, Lt. Commander.Copy !req
292. Yes, I'll do as ordered.Copy !req
293. As for the duty of the Adjutant,
I'll have Lt. Jg. Minci substitute.Copy !req
294. I understand.Copy !req
295. I'll count on you, Julian.Copy !req
296. Please leave it to me.Copy !req
297. A... a message from the
Imperial Fleet has just come in!Copy !req
298. It's a message
from Kaiser Reinhard.Copy !req
299. He is... he is...Copy !req
300. It's a message
from Kaiser Reinhard!Copy !req
301. He is offering a
cease-fire and talks!Copy !req
302. Yang Wenli didn't send an immediate
response to Kaiser Reinhard's offer.Copy !req
303. It was not a result of any
deliberation, but rather...Copy !req
304. he first wanted to recover from the fatigue
of consecutive battles over several days.Copy !req
305. How do you plan to respond
to the Imperial Fleet?Copy !req
306. My brain cells have become milk
and oatmeal, so I can't think now.Copy !req
307. Right now, just let
me get some rest.Copy !req
308. I just want the bed any way I can get it,
and I don't mind if there are women...Copy !req
309. Whoever wakes me up will be executed by
firing squad for the crime of anti-revolution...Copy !req
310. This is a pathetic display.Copy !req
311. If the enemy comes and attacks now,
what will they do about it?Copy !req
312. Well, right now, I too feel that I'll take one
night of sleep over the endless future.Copy !req
313. Yes, sir.Copy !req
314. Well, sleeping is sort
of like dying anyway.Copy !req
315. Oh, well.Copy !req
316. To wake them all up...Copy !req
317. we'll need about one million princes
and princesses who would kiss them.Copy !req
318. If you need help,
Vice Admiral Cazellnu...Copy !req
319. I will be happy to call them all
back from the garden of sleep.Copy !req
320. Just the female
soldiers, of course.Copy !req
321. If there were an attack from the
Imperial Fleet at that moment...Copy !req
322. even Iserlohn Fortress would
not have remained invincible.Copy !req
323. But the Imperial Fleet too was
at the height of its fatigue...Copy !req
324. and could not go on the
offensive at this juncture.Copy !req
325. Even those who did not want a cease-fire
couldn't disobey the Kaiser's orders...Copy !req
326. and they couldn't do anything but
stifle the crescendo of their high morale.Copy !req
327. Even if the Kaiser is to negotiate with
Yang, the talks will definitely collapse.Copy !req
328. When that happens, the
war will restart right away!Copy !req
329. In any case, Kaiser Reinhard has
shown his desire for a cease-fire.Copy !req
330. With this, will the path to peace be paved,
or will the era of warfare continue?Copy !req
331. History was now facing
another important crossroad.Copy !req
332. This was the occurrence on May 18th of Space Calendar 800, New Imperial Calendar 2.Copy !req
