Ican see what you feeling through the sea of stars.
Wherever you are, you are always close.
My soul and heart embraces you...
You shall always be with me.
You must believe. I am always here waiting...
My heart is here waiting for you.
During the continuous war at Geltsburg Fortress,
the artistic commander under Reinhard,
Admiral Ernest Mecklinger
set off to visit Duke Heinrich von Kunmel.
The cousin of Heinrich, Hilda Mariendorf wants him to do so.
Heinrich don't look like your cousin.
Is he your brother?
My uncle and aunt died early.
Heinrich's health was never good,
and he was brought up by my father.
I don't have any siblings either.
It seems like I'm mixing business and personal matters.
I'm sorry.
Don't say that.
But do you think its a little sudden to visit him like that?
I believe he'll be glad to see you.
Heinrich has always worshipped you.
Ever since I became Reinhard's secretary,
I have not been able to visit him like before.
Perhaps I'm trying to make up to him.
He wants me to introduce commanders to him.
Please enter.
Heinrich.
I've fulfilled my promise,
and brought Commander Mecklinger here.
I'm pleased to meet you, Heinrich.
Mecklinger, you're here.
Please take a seat.
Please sit down.
I'm glad you're able to come.
I brought a piece of my work.
Do you like it?
Is this for me?
It's great.
It's great, Sister.
I feel honored you brought such a great gift.
Thank you.
You've given me such a great painting.
I'm so touched.
Thank you.
Please don't mention it.
I'm afraid I'm not good enough.
Heinrich has always worshipped you.
That's right.
People like me
can never achieve anything.
But I've always admired all-rounders.
Like Da Vinci
and Cao Cao who built Old China,
Lazar Karl and Juguli Pelle.
What am I compared to great people like these,
You're too humble.
Please don't say that.
The person I admire most is you.
You're not only a successful soldier,
you've also been awarded prizes for your artworks.
You also have poet prizes
and won the piano competition 2 years ago, right?
I never expected you'd know so much.
I'm so surprised and ashamed.
How can you say that?
Even in the army, you can command in the frontline
and even at the back.
Besides all these,
I heard you're also a great advisor.
I'm just an ordinary soldier.
I was born a commoner.
I never dreamt
to have any achievement in art.
Does that mean you'll quit the Military in future?
Heinrich, don't talk nonsense.
It's all right.
I don't think I'll leave the Military yet.
Actually there's some art you need to stay with the army to see it.
Really?
For instance, Reinhard von Lohengramm is a piece of art.
I'm sorry I seem to have said something wrong.
You're right.
Lohengramm's existence is like art.
If only my health is better.
Thank you for coming.
Don't mention it.
I'm afraid he'll become excited and fall sick.
Is he all right?
He'll be fine after resting.
Heinrich was really happy today.
I'm glad I could help.
Can I ask you something?
What is it?
When you entered Heinrich's room,
you seemed to have a surprised look on your face.
You can tell?
You're really sharp.
Actually I know patients like this.
They usually keep lively pets
as salvation.
But your cousin did not have a pet.
Actually...
he's not at all interested in pets.
He likes to read.
Really?
At this instant,
both felt uneasy.
But they'll only know what that feeling is in future.
Engine test, 25 more seconds.
Remove the testing ship
20 more seconds.
No obstacles. 15 more seconds.
Final confirmation, start engine, 10 more seconds.
Engine test complete.
Preparing for Kaput test.
The testing ship going into Kaput is ready.
2,1, Fire.
It's started.
That's great.
Ignite to confirm. Keep speed at 2000km per hour.
The energy curve is at 3%,
at a nanosecond.
This is perfect.
Geltsburg Fortress is flying.
Kempf a report from Geltsburg Fortress.
It seems like it's successful.
We've to wait for the whole Kaput test to be over,
so as to gauge its real power.
But I think we'll succeed.
Hilda, are you still against my sending troops?
Marshal, I never said anything.
You don't have to look at me like that.
You are not afraid of me?
Marshal.
No matter country or organization,
a condition must be fulfilled before people will unite.
What condition?
That's the enemy.
This is really true.
So I must continue to fight the Alliance.
Do you agree?
You must know that
your supporters do not regard...
the Alliance as our enemy,
but the Goldenbaum Empire.
The king is only 7 years old and has no real power.
The problem does not lie with his age or ability.
Erwin Joseph the 2nd is now the king of Goldenbaum
He's a symbol of unity of the old powers.
Even if the old powers unite, it's not a problem.
Besides, you must know
I don't want to be accused of killing a child.
I won't kill the king.
You're remarkable, Marshal.
But you're right. I need an enemy.
I can only walk this one path...
I just received a notice.
They want me to go to Heinessen.
What happened?
The want me to attend an inquiry meeting.
I can't recall that there's such a thing.
Do you know what's going on?
There's no rule for such a meeting in the Military,
the Alliance or the Alliance's Army.
You mean it's out of the hands of law?
They just set it up without any legal basis.
Although it's like that,
the Defense Minister has told me to attend.
He can always find a legal basis.
I can't refuse this time.
I've to return to that materialistic place, Heinessen.
The Alliance has called Yang to appear before the Court of lnquiry.
Meeting? Why not the Martial Court?
That's because, for that, they need to charge him formally.
The accused must have a defense lawyer for that.
I think it's more effective to use
psychological torture.
This method suits the present leaders of the Alliance.
They may be talking about democracy,
but they are lawless,
and many loopholes in the laws for them to take advantage.
This is a dangerous system.
The social structure is so weak...
because the leaders don't obey the laws.
No matter what, that's their problem.
We don't have to worry for them.
The useless successor should go through such tests.
He will die if he can't survive it.
This is not only applicable to Goldenbaum.
Vice Commander.
We must do many things besides debating philosophy.
Firstly,
Let Remscheld be in charge of the plan.
Then find someone to carry it out.
Sorry.
I've already found someone.
I'll report to you in a few days' time.
Good.
Don't tell me my fears have come true?
I can't tell you not to go. You have to be careful.
Don't let them have any chances.
I know. You'll stay guard here.
Don't worry.
Do you need to bring the guards?
I'll take command.
I don't think that's necessary.
I'm not going into the enemy's territory now.
Find someone trustworthy to go with me.
How about me?
how can you leave the fortress?
You'd better stay back to help Caselnes.
I'm not bringing Julian either.
The fewer people the better. Don't use the ship either.
I'll just bring a surveillance ship along.
What is it?
I think you're very confident.
Do you think so?
But I don't understand why you're not bringing Julian.
Because Julian never had a chance
to meet friends his age.
I should give him the chance
and go out and meet them.
Do you think he'll be fine?
I've someone in mind.
Louie.
This quiet fellow can get very fierce.
Those fellows at the capital
he can deal with all of them at once.
is he better than you?
I've no problem dealing with a team.
Will you bring Lt. Greenhill along?
How can the Assistant Commander not go along?
It's the best to bring him.
But if I leave Julian, he'll be jealous.
I know Lt. Greenhill is always concerned about Yang Wenli.
I wonder what Commander Yang thinks about her?
Who knows?
what he's thinking.
But there're times whereby it's easy to see through him.
He's smart and a kind-hearted person,
but a little slow at the matters of the heart.
I found out everyone is very interested about other
people's business. Hey, what do you mean?
It's late. I'd better prepare dinner.
Excuse me.
I must rush to help the commander.
I must cook his favorite lrish roast meat.
He's pretty hardworking.
But seems like a waste his energy roasting meat.
Under the command of Muller, Geltsburg Fortress,
has moved towards the test site Kaput.
It seems like it's going to work.
Please rest assured.
You hardly come back. Spend more time with your family tonight.
Yes.
Thank you for your concern, Marshal.
Father must go...
go to the far galaxy and chase the bad people away.
You two must listen to your mother.
Father is leaving now.
Say goodbye.
Goodbye, Father. Come back quick.
Goodbye, Father. You must bring back gifts.
Don't be silly. Father is going to work.
Where does he has the time to buy us gifts?
But...
Father will bring you gifts next time.
When Father comes back,
I'll bring you to Grandmother's place.
Really?
Dear, don't make empty promises to the kids.
They'll make noise if you can't fulfill your promise to them.
Rest assured.
If this mission is successful, I'll get some time off,
and maybe promoted as well.
Then I can give your more household allowances.
That's fine.
As long as you're back safely.
That's my biggest wish.
Don't worry. I'll be back safely.
I've always returned safely from the battlefield.
The strongest group in the Lippstaddt Army
is Flegel's.
The advisor to Flegel, Leopold Schumacher
escaped with his men to Phezzan after Flegel's death.
They moved to Assinipolis Ravine to spend the rest of their lives.
You're from the army of the Empire, Leopold Schumacher?
I'm the assistant to the leader of Phezzan, Rupert Kessilink.
I've important news of your country.
Can you stop bothering me?
I'm no longer the Colonel.
It's not my business whatever happens to the Empire.
I'm living peacefully with my comrades now.
I've no time for the past.
It doesn't matter if you want to forget.
But I don't think you want to sacrifice your future.
Colonel Schumacher.
I don't think you're suited to be a farmer.
Don't you wan to change history?
Leave now.
Calm down and listen to me.
This soil can yield good crops
but if these crops cannot be sold in the market,
it's meaningless.
You should know what I mean.
Is the way Phezzan do things?
That's right.
We'll use force if necessary.
It doesn't matter if you look down on us.
But I think there's nothing worse than...
being looked down by a victor.
Everyone successful person will think like that.
What do you want me to do?
Do you want me to kill Lohengramm? Phezzan does not like
bloodshed. Peace is the only way to prosperity.
You people of Phezzan will never understand the upper class.
Sir Lansberg.
who are you?
If you don't wish to see
your loyalty towards the Empire
to come to an end,
please join Remscheld.
That means you're a part of the Lippstaddt Army?
We're friends in battle.
We'll continue to be comrades.
Will this plan work?
So what if it works?
It's just going to add more obstacles...
towards peace.
Shaft's suggestions are nothing out of the ordinary.
Isn't that martial law?
But this might be effective towards lserlohn Fortress.
Let this be an order.
Kempf is going to waste his efforts.
Don't talk about Kempf and Shaft.
I'm worried about Lohengramm.
I think he changed a lot after Kircheis died.
I can't say where he's changed.
How can he not change when he's lost
his dearest?
Don't you remember?
It was this place
when we first saw Lohengramm
and Kircheis.
They had just returned from a battle.
It should be 4 years ago.
That is...
That is Commodore Reinhard Musel.
No, he should be Rear Admiral.
He's only 18 and very talented.
So it's him.
He's the 'golden brat' the aristocrats refer to?
What do you think of him?
Haven't I always said,
never treat a tiger like a sick cat.
In your point of view,
is Reinhard a tiger or a cat?
I think he's a tiger.
Although his sister is a beloved concubine of the king,
his enemies are never afraid of him.
So he's a tiger?
No.
I think he's lion.
You say he's the king of the beasts?
But I never expected Kircheis to be so
incredible.
If he's still alive,
he'll persuade Lohengramm not to send troops.
You said if Kircheis is still alive?
Kaput's time 45 more seconds.
The main screen will shift towards the border of Kaput.
Where is Shaft?
He should go to Geltsburg Fortress with Muller and Kempf.
That's not what he planned.
Of course he's not willing to do that.
But if Lohengramm gives the order,
he can't refuse.
I see.
Can a huge fortress with a radius of 45km be moved successfully?
This is so dramatic.
We'll know after we've succeeded.
10 more seconds...9...8...7...
6...5...4...3...2...1.
There's nothing wrong with the fortress and the airspace nearby.
The Geltsburg Fortress can contain 16 000 ships,
and 2 million soldiers.
This means that it'll soon attack lserlohn Fortress.
489 Empire years 18th March.
On the same day, Yang Wenli intends to leave lserlohn Fortress.
Julian, how tall are you?
About 173cm.
Then you'll be taller than me next year.
You were shorter than my shoulder when I first saw you.
I'll go to Geltsburg Fortress and take a look.
I want to be alone. Don't follow me.
This is where Commander Kircheis...
Marshal Reinhard, you must conquer the entire Universe.
Please tell Princess Annerose.
I've done what I promised her.
Right, Kircheis. You have done it.
Therefore, I shall keep my promise to you.
I'll conquer the Universe no matter how difficult it is...
and bring Sis back.
But I feel cold.
It's cold without you and sister.
If I can go back 12 years...
and start over again,
will this world be brighter and warmer?
Kircheis.
It's a pity if...
Reinhard can only bare his heart to a dead man.
Why must he destroy the Empire and conquer the Universe?
No, it can't be like this.
I am Lost
Will you call out to the new-born stars?
Under the heart-rendering glow,
You should feel how much I miss you.
Are you willing to walk with me through the majestic star cloud?
When you embrace me,
Do you feel the wonders of life?
Open up your heart and listen...
Listen to your overtures of striking forth.
