Well..
Can I hear your report, Girge?
I fled in a panic and started wandering around after I felt better,
that was when the enemy found me and attacked, so I came back here.
That is all.
That's different from the story I heard from Rygart.
An estimate of seven Golems destroyed..
Two Golems belonging to commanders heavily damaged.. another one destroyed.
Then.. that must be what happened then.
Girge, you are hereby forbidden to hold arms and you will not approach your Golem without my permission.
Excuse me.. Commander Narvi..
We would like to have Girge supervise the repairs of the Artemis.
Follow, Girge!
Okay..
I wonder what goes on in his head..
Loggin..
I have something important to tell you..

Show-Down Dragon and Tiger declare war
It was probably a year ago..
I had only finished an assignment at the borders, when I came back to the capital and learned of the incident..
Girge was already being held in a prison.
I visited him every day in jail in order to ascertain his true intentions.
He'd always be looking off into space, and even when our eyes met, he'd laugh in a mocking manner.
He never once opened up to me.
Ten Golems including Girge's were involved in the incident..
It was a foot march exercise.
He ran a Golem full of holes and hid behind it all of a sudden.
The remaining eight Golems fell one by one.
Only Girge came out of it all unscathed.
When it was all over..
He came to turn himself in.
That is all we know.
B-but.. can that really be all there is to the story?
I mean, everyone except Girge died, right?
No.
The only one that died was the pilot of the first Golem.
The remaining eight pilots all managed to avoid damage that would have killed them.
In the end, nothing that would suggest any bad blood between the people and Girge was ever discovered.
Weapons are all around you.. Pick whichever you like!
Well done.. well done!
What?!
Old man True's dead?
What happened to his remains?!
The enemy.. took them away.
Regarding that..
Nile, I'd like to know how you're going to break the news to Narvi.
Narvi has always looked up to the late General like her real father.
Can she maintain a level-head for our operations going forward?
That will not be likely.
A level-head wouldn't even be..
I see.
In that case..
We have two choices.
Loggin will take over command.
Or we hide the truth from Narvi.
We have taken quite heavy losses.
Yes, it was terrible.
Ailess has fallen in battle as well.
..What?
..Kill.. Kill them all..
Had Colonel Io not provided assistance with his Toria, the General would have been in danger as well.
..Kill all the Krishnans..
We'll leave the details surrounding the enemy Artemis and the Silver-Black for later.
Leto, I want a situation report.
Yes sir.
The right wing took a separate route of escape and was chased down by General Baldr's forces and destroyed.
The survival rate of the Golems that took part in the Arrakan wastelands
come to an estimate of 60%.
But..
We have joined up with the main body.
Yes, our forces currently stand at 120 Golems strong.
We could say our initial skirmishes ended in a draw.
It seems we really would do well not to underestimate Krishna.
How is the general?
He will be resting in the Hykerion for tonight.
I am sorry,
Ailess..
The euphoria has overcome me..
To think there would be not one, but two fools in the enemy..
Girge, we're pulling out.
I allow you to standby near the Artemis.
But.. you will only board it when I say so!
Roger that, commander.
G-Good!
Where is General Baldr?!
What is it?
Borcuse has made a move.
He's headed toward Mt. Pegg.
Mt. Pegg?
Did you say Mt. Pegg?
They are headed there without a doubt.
Rygart?
Wait!
There's a village near Mt. Pegg.
D.. Did the villagers there manage to evacuate?
If.. the villagers don't manage to get away in time.. Will Borcuse attack them?
What now? What are you trying to say?
The village near Mt. Pegg..
It's where I live.
My brother Regatz lives at the edge of the village.
I understand.
Tell General Baldr quickly.
Rygart.
Even if he lives in the outskirts of the village, someone's bound to have told him to flee.
For now, we're pulling out.
Rygart!
We're withdrawing!
Y-Yes..
Stop there!
Stop!
Rygart!
Regatz!
Regatz..!
Regatz..
I only intended this to be a little side-trip..
Why is it that I will find you here?
Borcuse..?
General, please stand back!
Cease all firing!
Stand down.
I will execute anyone that interrupts.
You have an interesting defense.
Swinging a spear like that..!
But the recovery from your landing is going to cost you!
A fight with someone that uses segmented weapons like myself..
..Seems to fall in my favor!
What?!
What's wrong? I'm toppled and defenseless.
Now's your chance to kill me.
Why did you come all the way alone to this village..?
I doubt it happened by accident.
How do you feel? Looking at those villagers around you.
Did you think this was an inevitable consequence of war?
There seems to be a reason behind you coming here alone.
But.. too late.
What will you do?
He tried to take me by tangling my arms together!
General..!
Is Bades here yet?!
Seems like I made the right choice allowing the Hykerion to fall on it's back..
If I had insisted on accepting the impact upright,
I would have absorbed too much of the shock and they would probably have pierced my frame itself.
All I have left is the East Scimitar..!
What will you do?
Will you try escaping with those powerful legs?
I don't have the slightest idea why you've come all this way alone.
Your trip hasn't gone to waste..
Those movements that would be nigh impossible with the current ligament technology we possess.
It's probably a product of the technology of the ancients.
This might just be the key to triggering a response from Orlando.
I've come across an unexpected find!
You bore me.
All you do is run after your enemies in the straightest manner possible.
You are unable to adapt to the change that goes on around you.
I've lost all interest.
Restrain it.
Chains alone will not be enough!
I want five of you holding him down in turns.
Take the Golem back as soon as possible without damaging it.
Destroy the hatch to the cockpit and pull the pilot out.
Kill him.
General, it creates problems for us when you step out into battle alone like that.
I needed to go head-to-head directly with the Silver-Black in order to know it's capabilities.
It's clear to me from fighting him..
The power displayed by this Golem has nothing to do with the pilot.
There was no technique at all in the way he fights.
My interest has shifted to the pilot of that Artemis.
Were we too late?
About forty Golems are headed toward the southern lines.
About twenty Golems are left behind.
There are probably about 200 infantry.
It's only a matter of time before they pull Rygart out from there.
Excuse me.. Sigyn?
Can I hear more about what we talked about last night?
Hm? What was it again?
The one about Rygart and the rest trying to break into the girl dorms..
and Captain Zess coming to the rescue..
..Oh.
The security in our school was strict.
Particularly the female dorms, males were prohibited entry.
Armed female guards are took turns standing guard in groups of eight.
It was said to be impenetrable.
There were even rumors that men generations ago who tried to break in were shot dead.
Rygart and Hodr got even more motivated.
That part about Zess coming to the rescue..
It seems they did ask Zess to come along with them.
Ridiculous.
I hope the two of you get shot.
So, did they manage to get in?
There were sounds of pressguns being fired in the middle of the night.
And the silhouettes of two men escaping as I looked out the window.
By the looks of it, they were turned away by the guards.
In the end, things went well for them after Zess came to the rescue.
The Zess I know is so different..
Zess never displayed his emotions to me or the surrounding people often.
He was probably mature from back then.
The only time he acted like a child was with Hodr and Rygart..
And especially with Rygart..
The two of them fought really often.
Damn!
The pilot has come to!
Restrain him!
I'm being held down..!
Loggin, fire!
Get there..!
It won't reach..!
That's fine, keep firing!
Enemy attack from the west!
Look this way, Rygart!
Jump!
Thanks, Narvi!
Shut up, you idiot!
Let's get out!
The next time you disobey my orders I'll blow something of yours apart and put you to death.
You understand?!
Did you get to see your brother?
So all you managed to do was create trouble for everyone.
Let's go, can you still move?
Yes.
Enemies?
Take cover!
Did they catch up already?!
No, it's a different group. This is too early!
Girge!
What are you doing?!
Don't expose yourself!
Loggin!
..Kill.
Nile! I'm surrounded!
Narvi!
Cheeky!
You're cheeky!
Girge, what are you doing?!
We're going back!
I'm worried about Narvi and the others!
Worried?
That surprises me.
I can hardly believe that coming from a person running off alone.
In the first place, it's your own fault that we are even caught in this battle.
Enough about that..! They're going to be in trouble if we don't go back!
And you never even managed to find your brother.
Girge..
Smacking your mouth off like you're some kind of big shot..!
You're just a childish brat!
Lightning-Speed. Divine rapidity.
