Kircheis, who was commanded...
to attack the neighbouring planets,
has won all 16 battles.
And every battle was won by a large margin.
All planets are ruled by the local people.
Stop!
I'm going to attack if you don't stop.
Stop!
We're a commercial ship from Phezzan.
The ship is full of people on a pilgrimage.
There're old folks, women and children on board.
You can take a look.
No need.
Are your food and medical supplies sufficient?
There's not enough milk powder for the children.
I know.
Give them some of our supplies.
Yes.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Kircheis is really a good man.
But it's a pity.
Why?
Good men don't live long,
especially in times like this.
The enemies have retreated.
This is weird.
It's not the same as before.
Their will to act has been unified.
It's about time.
I think Merkatz has gone to the frontlines.
It's not to our advantage that the numbers are reduced.
We'd better retreat.
But this will give the enemy a chance to win.
This may affect our morale. Please consider.
All right, we'll retreat.
This planet is not worth our effort to protect it.
Let Lohengramm do it himself.
That Ruentahl.
Trying to push his work to me.
Merkatz was a famous soldier...
before you were born.
It'll be risky to let him take the reins.
Take the reins?
I don't think Braunschweig is so magnanimous
to let him take the reins.
That's right.
If we were to do against Merkatz,
we should fight with Braunschweig.
You are telling me to leave Sento Star alone...
and fight Geltsburg?
Yes.
I don't think the enemy will concentrate on protecting Geltsburg.
But Geltsburg is known to be undefeatable.
What should we do?
This turn could be good fodder.
That's right.
Geltsburg.
It's been hard on you, Merkatz.
You're really the famous Merkatz.
Impressive.
You're our hero.
It's not my victory...
but the enemy has given up.
It's dangerous to be overconfident.
You're too humble.
Why is Littenhelm not here?
Yes.
His ship is not here too.
We hardly see their ships recently.
Littenhelm.
He's gone to take back the planets.
What?
He led a army of 50 000 ships...
to attack Kircheis's flagship.
How can l, as Chief Commander not aware of this?
As the Chief of the Alliance, I've agreed.
But this concerns the military.
Admiral.
Littenhelm is such a talkative person.
Isn't it better to send him out?
Besides, the people out there are trying to self-rule.
It's our duty to suppress this.
Let's not talk about this. The dinner is ready.
Let's go.
I'm really sorry.
I'm getting tired.
I'll take my leave now.
Excuse me.
Uncle has especially thrown this dinner for him.
It's rude for him to just leave.
Forget it.
But he's really boring.
What's it?
Lohengramm has given a new order.
Littenhelm and Braunschweig,
are heading in our direction.
They have 50,000 battleships with them.
Duke Braunschweig has ordered us to attack them.
So it's here.
According to our information,
Littenhelm has used Geltsburg as his base...
and set up camp in Boerha Star.
We may have to battle there.
I'll lead 800 ships to war.
Only 800?
Littenhelm's Flagship 'Ostmark'
We've discovered the enemy. About 40 000 of them.
They're finally here.
I'd rather fight the golden brat than...
this red-head.
His position is not high enough for me.
But guess I've no choice.
Reporting. The enemy has formed a slanting formation.
How should we deal with this?
They're actually doing this.
Use our numbers to overcome them. Don't play games with them.
Fire.
It's too far. It may not reach.
Advance a little closer.
Prepare to fire within 6 million km.
Lutz's Flagship 'Skinir'
Reporting. 6 million km.
Good. Fire!
It has begun.
Let's advancing the prime ship.
It has begun.
The enemy has only 20 000 ships on its left.
Why don't we eliminate them at once?
How should I say this?
Although we have 50 000 ships,
to form a formation...
is no different from others.
You mean we're incapable?
No.
It's harder to work in greater numbers.
There're new enemies from the left.
What?
Less than 1000 ships.
There's nothing to fear. They're small in numbers.
Fire now!
Everyone attack!
Kircheis is so fearsome.
He can overcome 50 000 ships
with so few ships.
The Flagship 'Fire Dragon'
He's seen through the weakness of the enemy's formation.
Impressive.
All attack!
The ship has been destroyed.
My ship has a hole!
We have lost contact with Lanzuras.
What's that?
That's the ship of Littenhelm.
Don't let him escape.
Capture him.
What's going on?
That's our back-up ship. Our reserve.
For as a long war, there's usually back-up.
Fire immediately.
Did you hear me?
But that's our ship...
So what if they are our ship?
They're blocking our way.
Fire!
Did you hear me? Fire!
Aren't they cute? They're twins.
Congratulations. You're now a father.
I must carry them to feel real.
I wan to go home.
Radio waves approaching!
Is it the enemy?
No, it's our people.
Anyone? Save me.
Coming.
Why are you here, kid?
I'm a student.
I'm on my way to be sent to Germig Fortress.
How old are you?
13...
But in five more days,
This world is really finished.
Kid, give me that.
Don't call me kid. I've a name.
My name is Conrad von Mulder.
What a coincidence. That's my name too.
Conrad Linzar.
What should we do now? The enemy is near.
Enemy? Who's the enemy?
Those who bombed us are our enemies.
Germig Fortress
Commander.
The person we saved from the ship is here to see you.
See me?
Yes. He said he could help you.
I've checked on him. He's fine.
Bring him in. Yes.
Reporting. I'm Conrad Linzar.
I'm sorry my artificial arm is not ready yet.
You said you could help me?
Yes. I'm a living witness.
I can prove that Littenhelm killed his men,
to escape.
Is that so?
This wrist can become evidence.
Everyone will change their thinking if the people see this.
Does that mean you're no longer loyal to Littenhelm?
You said loyalty?
This is a beautiful word...
... but is used only when useful to one.
This civil war is a good chance.
Some people are always asking for loyalty from his men.
But he has no right to do so.
A few hundred people can bear witness to this.
I know.
Then please help us.
I hope you can persuade the people of Germig Fortress to surrender.
No problem.
But, maybe...
there is no need for that anymore.
I'm Will Robins!
And I'm here to see Littenhelm.
You're dirty. You can't see him.
I'm dirty?
I'm his man who fought for him...
and enabled him to escape.
What do you want?
Littenhelm, the person you fought to protect,
is in front of you.
Tell him to reward your loyalty!
Kill him.
See this? It's blown off.
That is the Command Centre.
We can't let this good chance go.
Commodore, inform Luca and Petro...
... to land and take over Germig Fortress.
Yes.
Germig Fortress was taken over.
The aristocrats lost a third of their men.
The foolish and cowardly aristocrats.
I advise you to forsake your pride and surrender.
I'll spare you...
and leave some wealth to you useless fools.
Let you have a good life.
A few days ago, Littenhelm...
has died in a terrible way.
If you don't want to follow in his footsteps,
think about it.
You should be the ones thinking. What arrogance.
You forgot the defeat at Sento Star?
That's right.
I'll reward anyone handsomely if he can catch that brat.
Yes.
The enemy is near.
What?
Their position is just outside the range of the main canon.
They're obviously protesting.
They're not afraid to die?
That's the ship that defeated Sterling.
These people are so daring as to...
attack me.
Merkatz, order to attack.
Let them have a taste of Sento Star.
Chief commander!
No!
The enemy must have laid a trap behind this.
We cannot attack like this.
How can we not say anything?
If we don't attack,
we, the aristocrats will be so embarrassed.
You're right.
I think...
we just send our men to attack.
Good.
If Lord Flegel is willing, I will be glad to accompany you.
Reporting.
What is it?
Flegel has led troops to attack.
What?
These fellows can really run.
As swift as wolves.
There's no traps.
I think Merkatz is becoming more cowardly.
Why must you attack without permission?
Didn't I say not to attack?
How dare you disobey orders?
Everyone must be brought to the Martial Court.
Listen to me.
We're not afraid to die.
We're happy to die in the hands of the enemy.
We will feel honoured.
It's a humiliation if we have no...
courageous commander to stand up for us.
It's too painful.
In that case...
I will rather kill myself.
I don't wish to see this.
Flegel is right.
I'm glad you realise this.
We can't let Flegel die alone.
We'll just kill ourselves here.
And show the world the pride of the aristocrats.
That's right.
It doesn't matter now that Merkatz has won.
It's important that they've such dignity.
Your courage and loyalty
will be made known to the world.
Let those arrogant people realize...
the idea of righteousness.
Your actions are encouraging...
and we've nothing to fear.
We'll win.
Let everyone know good is on our side.
Long live the Empire.
What's going on?
The enemy is here again.
They're attacking us with long range missiles.
What?
Let us handle this.
No, I must go this time.
Everyone attack.
We can't let them escape this time.
We'll eliminate them all.
Yes.
Let me take command.
Merkatz, stay here.
Let's go.
These stupid sons of the aristocrats...
can live longer if they hide in the hole.
They actually came out to become the dust of the Universe.
Reporting.
We've confirmed the position of Braunschweig's ship.
Oh? He's here too?
They have not realised we're pretending to escape.
If Braunschweig is here,
we must make him lose badly.
Yes.
But to fight fools like this,
it's meaningless.
I won't criticise Yang Wenli.
But I hope for a worthy opponent.
I think that's what Lohengramm would think too.
Braunschweig's Flagship 'Berlin'
The enemy has shown signs of fear. Attack!
Look at that pathetic state.
Once they have escaped, they'll have a habit to always do so.
They don't even feel ashamed.
Bury them all and catch that golden haired brat!
Bring him back and beat him up.
They can't even take a blow.
Don't go after him. There may be traps.
Traps?
It's possible.
Reduce speed and form a new position.
Why didn't they come after us?
Really.
Flagship 'Wilhelmina'
These people are really cunning.
Never mind. Full speed ahead.
Mittermeier's show is really good.
It should be time.
Yes.
Switch to attack mode.
Don't let even one of them go back to Geltsburg.
I've been waiting for a long time.
Full speed ahead.
Attack!
What's going on?
Look, stupid sons of the aristocrats,
this is how war is fought.
It's a trap. Retreat!
Leave us alone. Run!
But, Commander...
Don't you realise? We've been tricked.
Any more delay,
we'll be attacked on both sides and we'll be finished.
Don't retreat!
This is the enemies' last struggle.
Sir.
There're new enemies on both sides.
What?
Please retreat.
It's not to our advantage that the battalion is too long.
We'll be attacked individually.
Those idiots. Damn it!
Kempf's Flagship 'Forseti'
Send out the warship to take control of the airspace.
Leave that ship alone.
They have no way out now.
No need to make them retaliate.
Just attack those within the shooting range.
They've no way out anyway.
Are they gone?
Not yet.
Don't reduce speed.
There're new enemies on the right side.
Never mind. We just have to concentrate
on advancing and break through at one go.
The enemy will not attack in front.
Yes.
Lohengramm you're good.
Kessler's Flagship 'Tristan'
Braunschweig was the one who sponged off the people.
We can't let him escape.
Those who can capture Braunschweig,
will be promoted to General.
Please make use of this good chance.
I see...
The enemy guessed our escape route and placed their men to ambush us.
If we retreat to where we attacked, it's too easy.
Right team, turn back at full speed.
It's not good to leave the normal route.
Never mind. We've to take the risk.
Reporting, Francis's ship has left the normal route.
I wonder what's the man thinking?
What kind of strategies will he have?
I think we'll leave with him.
What?
No matter what,
at least Francis is an expert in ship war.
You're right. Follow him.
Yes.
Have you managed to contacted Uncle?
No, we can't even determine our men's positions.
Yes.
Muller's Flagship 'Lubeck'
The enemies are not in ships anymore.
We've won this time.
Don't let Braunschweig escape.
They even abandoned Sento Star...
and put in as a strategy.
Lohengramm is good.
Or is it Oberstein's strategy?
Although the enemy is almost destroyed,
Braunschweig is still not captured.
It seems like he didn't even go to the frontlines.
I think he must be hiding at the back.
His arrogance saved him.
The canon at the back is attacked.
What's that?
Is it the enemy?
No, it's our men.
All out attack!
Save Braunschweig!
The ships to reduce speed.
Retreat for now so that we can reduce the casualties.
Everyone wants to gain credit.
Don't let the formation be destroyed.
Form a ball formation while retreating.
Change the canon to a short range while retreating.
Prepare fighting machines.
It is impressive.
They managed to collect themselves after the confusion.
Where's Braunschweig?
He's retreated to the back.
We'll wait to retreat.
Before the enemy is here.
Merkatz may be old but he's still capable.
He's really smart.
Although Braunschweig has escaped to Geltsburg,
he has very few men left.
It's now a matter of time.
A matter of time...
Tell me! Why didn't you come earlier?
Don't be angry. Braunschweig is a sick man.
He's sick?
In his mind.
Mental sickness.
This is passed down from the 500 years history of the aristocrats.
Right, from this point of view,
Braunschweig is also a victim.
A hundred years ago, it would be possible.
Blame his luck.
I see.
Maybe Braunschweig is an unlucky man.
But,
isn't it worse to be unable...
... to determine your own fate?
This time
Lippstaddt's warpath is clear.
But the tragedy has just begun.
Courage and Allegiance
Due to consecutive defeats,
Braunschweig has ordered...
a nuclear attack on Westerland
Reinhard will have to make the biggest decision in his life
