Yang Wenli was under the command to lead less than half of the army.
To conquer the undefeatable lserlohn fortress of the Empire.
The attack has begun.
Quick!
Come on!
The battle is really terrible.
How is the situation outside?
Due to the state of emergency, Captain Lucke...
requested to meet the Commander of the fortress.
Captain, you've got to be strong.
I am lan of the police force.
Now... What has happened?
In view of the present situation,
It seems like the enemy wants to break down the corridor of lserlohn.
They want to break this fortress down.
What did you say?
You have to ask the Captain if you want to know the details.
This matter is very important. We must tell the Commander.
Captain.
I cannot endure anymore. I must see the Commander-in-Chief.
Captain.
What are you doing? Go and report now!
Yes.
The situation is still unclear, right?
Disruptions to the radio waves are rising. I believe the enemy is close.
It is not going to work out at this rate.
Can't we contact the troops at the base?
We still cannot contact them.
Where did Seekt go?
Is it true?
Good, leave him alone. Move now!
Yes.
It seems like Schenkopp has successfully entered the organization.
Until now everything has been going smoothly.
According to the plan, the enemy's flagship should be discovered now.
What? Is this a trap?
That's right.
When the enemy discovered it is a trap,
they will immediately turn back.
Then it will take 2 hours.
Our troop's flagship needs 1 1/2 hour to dock.
If the airbase does not open in 30 minutes,
we will be in danger of being attacked.
We are left with only 30 minutes?
I think we should also move out.
We discovered the trail of the enemy.
They are still around?
Reporting I have brought Lucke here.
Wait!
For safety reasons, please show me your identifications.
This is not the time to follow rules.
Just one minute delay and things may change drastically.
But...
The movements of the enemy are very strange.
What?
The main canon is now within firing range.
They are appearing one by one.
What did you say?
What? It has begun.
Leave it alone. Continue to advance.
The flagship is moving so beautifully.
What does this mean?
Nothing. It doesn't mean anything.
I am Gen. Stockhausen. Please explain.
What does the movements of these flagships mean?
Why do they want to break down the fortress?
This is because...
It is because of this. Commander Sir.
Don't move!!
If you move, the commander will die.
Are you in cahoots with the betrayers?
I am Captain Schenkopp.
Pleased to meet you.
Too bad my hands are full.
I can't remove my battle gear to greet you.
You seem so arrogant. Do you intend to take the hostage away?
I cannot allow this.
Our Commander's reputation is more important than his own life.
He will not become your shield.
The Commander does not seems to agree with your views.
What did you say?
Don't move!
Sir, you...
I give up. You've won this time.
But, Sir...
This is a command. Put your guns down!
Ok. Tie them up.
It should be about time now.
What are you doing?
Emergency, Emergency!
The computer is protected by a password.
From now on, all functions of lserlohn fortress will be stalled.
All areas of the fortress will be locked.
Disperse all the traffic now.
Seal the airbase and the canon doors.
Everyone, please move to the last cabin.
There is only 25 seconds to seal everything.
What is going on?
We cannot go anywhere.
I thought the people at the airbase have left.
So this is it.
What is happening today?
This should be a mock practice.
10...9...8...7...
6...5...4...3...2...1
How is it?
All the functions of fortress has come to a stop.
Looks like not all problems are solved.
But, you should not be able to track your fellow troops' movements.
You are now isolated.
Then, everything will change.
Before the base troops reach here,
just take control of the mainframe.
Captain.
Don't worry. I think there are only 50 guards.
Really?
Is it too late?
They are so close, yet they are not attacking us.
I think we have not been defeated.
Let's wait and see.
The problem is the base troops are not going to wait for us.
As long as fortress does not attack us,
then we can still continue to fight.
I cannot guarantee this.
If Schenkopp betrays us or lose,
we will be trapped.
Don't worry.
I trust Schenkopp. This is the most important point in this battle.
I trust Schenkopp completely.
It seems like it is necessary.
It is worthwhile to wait for the enemy to fall into our trap.
Are you sure it is alright out there?
I don't want to just attack fortress...
and make everyone my enemies.
All obstacles come from the attacks of fortress.
If it is just the base troops they have twice our men.
Yang Wenli will surely succeed.
Count Lohengramm is in deep trouble.
Ok. We must do we have to do.
You stay and try to restore the communication systems.
We will go.
This is..
It seems like the enemy is here.
Commander, the enemy has sent a message.
What? Read it out.
Yes, Sir.
Our men have taken over the lserlohn.
You better give yourselves up.
You should be aware of the power of the Thor Hammer.
That is our advice to you.
Stop advancing!!
Sir, I think we should continue to advance.
What did you say? Do you want them to bomb us?
No. The movements of the enemy are strange.
I suspect lserlohn has not been conquered yet.
If so, why did they not attack the enemy immediately?
Right.
If the enemy has taken over fortress,
they will surely wait for us to approach.
Then, they will use a canon and blast us. Are you right?
It seems that the enemy is not even half our men.
As long as we attack while the fortress is still being defended,
the enemy will be easily forced to retreat. Next we can...
Ok. That's enough.
Keep out of firing range and wait for my command.
Sir.
As you have said, the enemy's troop is very small.
And it is unusually small.
Judging from previous years,
I believe at least 2 more troops are coming closer.
Judging from the situation now,
Shouldn't the fortress be taken over by now?
It should be on that top.
Is there any movement over at fortress?
Until now, there is nothing.
Do you know?
This situation is called a wolf in front, a tiger behind.
Please don't let me meet either one.
But these wolves are not making any movements.
That's because we've the canons. It seems so real.
If they see through us, we will be dead.
Perhaps even before this, we will be attacked.
Come on. Don't think too much.
How do you do?
What is going on?
I don't know either.
I don't believe they are unaware of the power of the Thor Hammer'.
The enemy are now aware that...
... we are afraid of the Thor Hammer.
You mean I am afraid of the Thor Hammer?
What is going on?
Looks like we've another emergency.
Must be another mock practice.
Don't bother about it.
If we hide inside the fortress, we will be safe.
What is happening?
What's wrong?
This is...
Damn!
Wait! It is the Zephyr particle...
Where did the 15 of them go?
Captain.
Don't say anymore.
What's wrong?
How come there is no one around?
This... The enemy used the Zephyr particle.
Don't shoot.
You are smart.
Is it you? How dare you?!
I am the enemy.
What?
The start of the fight.
It is too late.
Go after them now!
Yes.
Your leader is already dead.
We are the Rosen Ritters.
You are not our match.
Rosen Ritters?
You had better surrender.
I see it now.
The signal has appeared. This is the signal to dock.
They succeeded.
This is great!
Congratulations. Sir.
Don't say so. It is too early to tell.
The signal to dock has appeared.
What?
Several flagships have begun to enter the base.
What happened just now?
It seems like danger is over.
This is lserlohn fortress.
You mean they wanted to escape?
Good. Don't let go of this opportunity.
We will attack fortress once and for all.
Sir.
You again?
What is it this time?
This is a trap.
You must not go in.
Didn't you just say we must attack?
The battle changes every minute.
Surely you are aware of this?
I think you are the one that is ignorant.
If the fortress falls into the enemy's hands,
do you think we can still go back to our country?
No matter what you say, we must attack.
Even if it is going to be a failure, we must still fight them.
It is too late now...
Shut up!
Go away.
Sir, the enemy is attacking us now.
It is getting really dangerous now.
Really! Is it too late now?
Use the main canon now.
If it continues in this way,
our troops out there may be hurt.
But I really don't want to do this.
The refueling of the Thor Hammer.
Aim.
Fire!
Oh no, it is the Thor Hammer.
More than a thousand flagships are destroyed in an instant.
Just one shot.
The destructiveness is terrible.
I think this is not even a battle.
This is a massacre.
You are right.
We cannot take the law in our hands like the army of the Empire.
You go and tell them to give up.
If they do not want to surrender,
stop attacking them.
We just let them off.
Let them off?
You are saying that we let the enemy off?
What do you think?
No... How should I put this?
We are honoured to fight under your command.
Honoured...
Reporting Sir.
There is another message from lserlohn fortress.
They are telling us to surrender.
They want us to surrender?
Yes.
The message says it is not worthwhile to shed blood.
Even if we do not surrender, they won't pursue us.
They are willing to let us off.
Don't treat me as a fool. Surrender to the betrayers?
Don't talk about escaping. I will not do it.
Even though I am defeated, I am not afraid of death.
Give my command.
Everyone is to attack lserlohn fortress.
There is a reply from the Empire.
You do not understand the heart of a militant.
I will not suffer any humiliation.
At least, I know that I'll die in honour.
In order to repay the kindness of the Majesty...
...we shall attack! We would rather sacrifice than surrender.
Heart of a militant?
It is because of these people that battles never end.
The enemy is going all out to attack.
Can we differentiate from the enemy flagships?
Yes. We can.
Concentrate fire power and attack them. This is the last shot.
Aim.
Fire!
Long live the Empire!
The flagship of the Empire has been destroyed.
This is really not worthwhile.
One must continue to live in order to take revenge.
The enemy's flagships are escaping in all directions.
Whether you like it or not, it is better to live than die.
Captain, contact Heinessen immediately.
Tell them, my mission is finished.
14th May, 796 in Galaxy years. On Free Planet's
7th attempt to attack the undefeatable lserlohn fortress.
It finally completed its mission.
The 13th Fleet is cheering with joy.
No one in the Alliance was sacrificed in this war.
Hence, everyone is cheering out Miracle Yang.
and Magician Yang.
You say you want to resign?
Yes.
I think it is too early to leave now.
I don't want to leave. I just want to return to what I was.
I was never cut out to be a militant.
My army recognizes and needs your talent.
Besides,
Let me ask you.
How are you going to answer to the 13th Fleet?
The 13th Fleet?
The 13th Fleet is made up of weak old soldiers and
inexperienced new men. Everyone looked down on it.
If you leave, what will happen to them?
Commander.
We hope that we can continue to follow our Commander.
And fight together.
Please don't resign, Commander.
What does Field Marshal Sitolet have to say about this?
Look, we share the same views.
Under your command, I think I can live longer.
After the attack of lserlohn fortress,
The power struggle between the 3 powers has changed.
What will this bring?
No one knows how at this point of time.
