Lippstaddt Army Headquarters Geltsburg Fortress.
Radius 45km.
Storage:16 000 ships.
The main canon has a power of 74 million watts.
The power is comparable to lserlohn Fortress.
Although lserlohn Fortress has been taken over by the Alliance,
it's still the biggest Fortress in the territory of the Empire.
There are 9 bases along the route,
from Odin to Geltsburg Fortress.
the golden brat will have to...
exhaust a lot of manpower,
to attack each of the 9 bases.
Then we can attack from Geltsburg Fortress...
and kill them all.
Really? What a splendid idea.
Merkatz, do you have anything to say?
I think Lohengramm will do as we thought,
attacking all the 9 bases one by one.
But to the enemy,
it's enough just to block our routes,
and disrupt our supplies...
... and communication systems.
If the enemy attacks Geltsburg,
it's not to our advantage that our men are divided.
What do you think we should do then?
We should retain tracking and communication systems in the 9 bases.
And concentrate manpower in Geltsburg.
You mean we should lure that fellow to Geltsburg?
As they come from afar, while they're still tired,
we can attack them?
That's what I meant.
I have a better idea.
What idea do you have? Commander Sterling?
I'll change Merkatz's plans.
Besides luring him to Geltsburg,
we can gather a troop to attack the weaker Odin.
Then the King will be in our hands.
I see.
This is interesting.
Commander Sterling's idea is splendid.
I'm impressed.
Who will be in charge of this special troop?
This is an honour.
Even I can't understand.
Why did Lohengramm feel safe enough to leave Odin?
It makes me worried just to think of this.
It's not the time to think of strategy or techniques now.
Why the sudden decision to send troops?
The unrealistic Commander Sterling...
and the temperamental aristocrats,
cannot be the match for Lohengramm.
Do you have another motive?
I can't understand.
I don't think they'll understand anyway.
Mittermeier, when you were at military school,
did Commander Sterling teach you warfare?
That's right. What's wrong?
Those aristocrats...
One of them is led by Commander Sterling.
They want to test our strength.
He's finally going to war.
Can we defeat him?
Commander Sterling is knowledgeable.
He'll always think about theories and
is more often than not, unrealistic.
He's known as the Commander Sterling who likes to distort facts.
I command you,
to lead a troop to Altina Star,
and fight with your ex-trainer.
Fight him before I arrive.
Decide how you're going to fight him.
Yes.
The proudest thing for a soldier is his first battle.
Since you give me this great honour,
I'll not let your expectations down.
I'll win this first battle.
And weaken their resolve.
Yes.
Drogen, prepare 6 million tracking mines.
Make sure everywhere is covered with mines.
Yes.
The Dominion Phezzan.
Really? The Empire has sent troops?
The battle is going to begin in Altina Star.
Today is the third day. The battle should begin.
Altina Star.
Commander Sterling.
We've resisted the enemy for 3 days.
What are you waiting for?
Why are we not fighting?
Mittermeier is known as 'Gale Wolf'.
He's famous for swift attacks,
that's why he's given this name.
There's a problem if he didn't move.
We'd better be careful.
Reporting. I have a message from the enemy.
The enemy is now not moving.
They seem to be waiting for the arrival of Lohengramm.
It seems like they are waiting for all the troops,
before attacking.
What did you say?
Your hesitation is not good for us.
We should attack before...
their troops arrive.
No, wait first. Don't you feel suspicious
that we intercepted their message so easily?
It's a bit suspicious.
This information could be fake.
What did you say?
This explains why they are not moving.
But I still think...
I'm surprised at the Commander's lack of resolve.
This is not being careful. It's being overly suspicious.
Our aim is to fight a war.
Then we can test their strength...
and deflate their morale.
We're not going to gain anything by lying low.
That's right.
Commander.
I think we should attack.
Well...
But you must obey my commands.
How do you intend to fight?
Separate into 2 teams and detour around the mines area.
When the left team is attacking the enemy,
the right team will move to the rear end of the enemy.
Chase the enemy into the mines area.
Yes.
I'll lead the left team.
Count Hittisheim will lead the right team.
I understand.
The enemy is moving.
They fell for it.
It's missiles.
3 o'clock.
Attack and don't let up.
Don't let them have the chance to retaliate.
We can't let them remain with us.
They think that the people will continue to keep quiet.
And let the aristocrats rule over them.
I must make their stupid sons regret.
Ok. Full speed ahead to get through the mines area.
The Special Force is being attacked from the back.
The enemy has appeared behind it.
Behind?
They should be in front!
Is it the main troop?
They can't be so fast.
Can we contact Count Hittisheim?
Too much disruptions. We can't contact them.
The enemy is approaching.
Please tell them to beware of back attacks.
Admiral.
My stomach... Retreat.
The enemy has fled.
There's no need to go after them.
They are not our match.
Don't underestimate them. The war has just begun.
Yes.
What did you say? Commander Sterling lost?
Yes. Commander Sterling has fled to Rentenburg Fortress.
Including Count Hittisheim, about 70% were injured.
The losses are great.
Count Hittisheim?
That's too bad.
Commander Sterling is so useless.
Mittermeier.
You're great. Rightly deserving of your name, 'Gale Wolf'.
You flatter me, Marshal.
It's such a simple ploy.
But it's going to be hard to clear the mines.
I heard Commander Sterling fled to Rentenburg Fortress.
That's right.
I'm sorry to let Commander Sterling escape.
It doesn't matter.
But we must get Rentenburg Fortress back.
Use this opportunity to attack it...
and use it as a base to attack Geltsburg.
Rentenburg Fortress
If one wants to attack Rentenburg Fortress,
it's best to conquer it at the centre.
In order to enter this centre,
one first break through this sixth route.
Mittermeier, Reuentahl.
I know you are good at land wars.
So you'll lead the army in this mission.
Yes.
Don't be too careless.
Ovlesser will guard the sixth route.
You mean Ovlesser?
It's him.
That bandit?
Go on.
We discovered our men. Stop firing.
The ship went into the hole. That's a dead end for the canon base.
Begin land war now.
Everything's going smoothly.
But it's going to be troublesome.
If we go one on one with Ovlesser,
what'll you do?
I'll flee.
I think so too.
He's born a murderer.
It's best not to meet him face to face.
Or it's going to be disastrous.
How can we ask the men to flee?
What's happening?
Leave!
Advance.
I won't let him go back alive.
The 2nd team attacked.
They must protect the sixth route at all costs.
You people,
you're just adding to the number of corpses.
You still want to run?
Useless cowards.
Only this?
Reporting. We've attacked 8 times.
We've to retreat because of Ovlesser.
That Ovlesser is brave but he still lives in the Stone Age.
Let him die pretty.
It'll be befitting of his bravery.
Yes. Wait.
What? Oberstein.
I'd like you to capture Ovlesser without harming him.
I think he'll be useful.
You are telling me this stubborn fellow...
will be of use to me?
You don't have to doubt his loyalty.
You want to brain wash him?
I do not do that kind of thing.
But believe me,
I want to make use of him and make the aristocrats suspect each other.
All right, I'll leave this to you.
It doesn't matter through the screen.
Do you have the courage to look at me?
You're always in trouble.
You're just lucky to have a little success.
And you're so arrogant...
and you actually want to control the Empire.
Who do you think you are?
You're a traitor who betrayed the King,
a shameless traitor.
You tried to succeed with the help of your sister's beauty,
who bewitched the King.
You're so disgusting.
Reuentahl, Mittermeier.
Yes.
Bring that shameless traitor to me.
I want him alive.
You can cut him from limb to limb, just don't kill him.
I'm going to kill him personally!
Go now.
Yes.
This is a problem.
Yes.
I can't believe Lohengramm is led by his emotions.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Help me prepare 2 sets of armour.
The Commanders are going to war?
We're baits.
This will make the trap more alluring.
But you're the Commanders.
We're also Admirals.
Ovlesser is a top Admiral.
It's befitting for us Admirals to fight it out.
Come out if you've the guts.
Are you going to hide under your sister's skirts forever?
You coward!
You look so scary as a bandit.
There's no need for Lohengramm...
to deal with people like you.
You can die in peace.
After all, you have the 2 of us with you.
Such arrogance.
So it's Reuentahl and Mittermeier.
This is so interesting.
You're pretty good...
but you can't win me.
How do you know without trying?
I'm going to teach you a lesson.
What arrogance.
Ovlesser is in our hands.
The rest are just small frys.
Advance.
It's important to set a good trap to catch the lion.
This kind of trap is out-dated.
But it's enough to deal with...
a useless fellow such as you.
You bastards!
Are you flattering me?
The nobles surrendered when they lost Ovlesser.
The Rentenburg Fortress was also attacked.
Blood was everywhere.
What? You want me to spare him?
Yes.
It's easy to kill him. He's not afraid to die.
But if you kill him,
he'll become the Hero of the Goldenbaum.
This will only increase his reputation.
This can't be your aim, right?
But he killed many of our soldiers,
do you know?
I don't think we should spare him.
I agree.
I've said this before. He's useful.
What do you want?
Lohengramm is magnanimous.
Even though you're our enemy,
he's impressed with your bravery.
And wants to let you go and return to battle.
He's so naive.
He thinks I'll be grateful to him?
Then, I'll wait for him at Geltsburg.
I'm going to kill him the next time.
It's up to you.
We've prepare a ship for you.
You can go to Geltsburg or any other place.
This is so boring.
Yes.
What're you doing?
Are you the Admiral that resisted bravely...
at Rentenburg Fortress, Ovlesser?
Don't you recognise me?
I'm just trying to confirm.
Duke Braunschweig is waiting for you.
Please.
Congratulations on your safe return, Ovlesser.
What did you say?
You were our Marshal...
but everyone has been killed. Why are you still alive?
Killed?
You must be alive...
because you betrayed us.
You sold your conscience to that fellow?
Did you promise them to bring back my head?
This is all a trap. Can't you see, you fool?
This is all a trap.
Kill him.
Stop.
You traitor.
Will Ovlesser really betray us?
What?
Nothing.
How does Duke Braunschweig intend to deal with this?
How is he going to explain the cause of Ovlesser's death?
It's no use to cover up.
Give commands to everyone...
and say that Ovlesser has been sentenced to death for betraying us.
We can't allow traitors to live.
Don't give me that pathetic face.
I don't know how the future will be either.
One day, I may thank God for my own death.
Ovlesser was killed by his own people?
He was killed and branded a traitor.
Admiral Ovlesser...
hated the golden brat the most. But this has injected
a lot of doubts into the aristocrats greatly.
Who wouldn't become a traitor one day?
The aristocrats began to suspect each other.
Second guessing each other.
