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.
It's a grand formation.
Its thickness and depth are good, it's splendid.
It means that they don't skimp even for a diversion operation.
How will you cope with it?
We can't move carelessly.
The enemy's waiting for us to move.
It didn't move an inch.
There's no reason we should be doing this.
But part of our duty this time is to do things gaudily.
We'll just have to show them what we've got.
Communicate with Admiral Lutz...
Use the half-enveloping formation according to the prearranged plan.
Yes.
The fleet can launch any time...
Stay and wait where you are.
But...
We've already been forestalled by the enemy.
We'll observe them for the moment.
Commander. A part of
the Empire Army is moving away from the main gun's firing range.
It's obvious that they are taking a half-enveloping formation.
If this carry on, they would discover our weakness.
Get me Rear Admiral Fizer.
Yes.
I can't get out of here.
I want the both of you to stop the enemy's movements.
Yes Sir.
Enemy fleet's coming out!
Everyone, full speed ahead!
Damn!
Fire the main guns!
Wait, it's too close.
Our ships are in the firing range!
Stop all attacks. Be careful in avoiding conflicts.
Commander.
Is this the enemy's aim?
The Thor Hammer would be useless then.
We'll just have to watch the enemy approaching us.
Are we really going to be killed?
Commander.
The situation is to the enemy's advantage.
Are we really going to die this time?
Commander.
I wonder what they are up to.
If the main gun can't be used,
we'll just have to ask for reinforcements.
If this is the case, we'll have to send in reinforcements.
If we carry on the war, it will be to our advantage.
But our opponent is Magic Yang.
He would surely has a counterattack plan.
Battleship Oxiana destroyed. Lost contact with Battleship Lubljana.
Tell everyone to hold on.
Reinforcecments are coming.
They are out.
How long can we hold on?
Their reinforcements are out.
That's good. Send in Kempf's Fleet.
Wait... This is...
Confirm the ship type!
Ship type confirmed. It's Battleship Hyperion!
The Hyperion? Isn't that Yang Wenli's flagship?
I heard he is a brave general.
He actually led his soldiers personally.
Good.
All ships, full speed ahead!
Attack enemy target, The Hyperion.
Commander.
If we defeat Yang Wenli, the situation will be to our advantage.
We can't do anything, if he stays in the Fortress.
Since he is out, we should not let this chance escape.
All ships, maximum speed ahead!
20 seconds until effective firing range.
Good. Open all gun ports!
Enemy ship, rapidly approaching!
What?!
Trajectory angle, 50 degrees at 1 o'clock direction!
What happened?
It's the enemy.
The enemy's assault landing ship has knocked into the ship's hull!
Enemy troops invading!
Take emergency counterattack measures!
It's hand-to-hand combat!
We got tricked by Yang Wenli.
Commander, please let me command.
Just in case, please change into armour suit as well.
Don't bother about the small frys.
Our target is the enemy's Commander. Look for the bridge.
The assault seems to be a success.
Reuental is a first-class Commander.
If we want to win him...
the most effective way is this kind of 2nd rate tricks.
If we can capture or kill the enemy commander...
that's be great. Even if we can't do that
the least we could do is to be able to retreat.
Listen up. Don't let them leave
the ship alive. We'll attack them from both sides.
Commander.
Who is it? Who are you?
Admiral Reuental?
Yes. Alliance hunting dogs?
I'm Walter von Schenkopp.
Today shall be your death anniversary.
Rear Admiral Schenkopp!
Commander, are you alright?
Lintz, retreat immediately!
Yes Sir.
Don't let them escape! After them!
Stop running!
Commander, how is your wound?
It's like a comedy.
A Fleet Commander has to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
They should be the legendary Rosen Ritters.
It seems likely.
Stop the attack. Retreat immediately!
I was too eager for success, and ended up falling into their trap.
How could land troops be able to get in the ship?
This is ridiculous!
I apologize. This is my fault.
I was careless.
Let me cool down. We'll start all over again.
Yes.
The enemy fleet seems to be retreating.
Connect me to Attemboroug.
Go ahead...
How is it?
Do you think we could attack while they are retreating?
I think not. The success rate is not high.
Is that so?
Then, we are really out of ideas.
Quit pursuing. Return first.
Yes Sir.
Commander, Rear Admiral Schenkopp has returned.
It's just one step, yet the big fish got away.
At least we got into the enemy flagship.
It's really a pity.
Maybe they think so too.
They are really well skilled. Avoided most of my attacks.
It's just that bit and history will be rewritten.
You mean to say, a tie?
Yes.
If they had continue attacking, that'll be good.
One of the Twin Towers, is indeed well skilled.
There are many well skilled enemies, aren't they Commander?
What do you think, Commander?
The Fortress must be protected.
If it is a fight between 2 flagships...
Can we win one of the Twin Towers?
I'm not sure about this.
Kempf, whom we fought before,
should be inferior to Reuental at flexibility of troops use.
But we barely won then.
We would need luck this time.
Don't say such disappointing words, will you?
As I always said,
you can even win Reinhard.
How then would it be possible to lose to his subordinate?
You're free to think what you like.
But you can't win based on confidence.
Nevertheless, the enemy has no movements.
They will not come within the firing range of the Fortress gun.
They might not get tricked again.
By repeating approach and retreat,
their goal is probably to exhaust us.
Although we are inside the Fortress,
The soldiers' sense of unease and nervous exhaustion...
will just magnify.
If that is the case... that'll be bad.
If the enemy won...
Commander, there will not be a result so soon.
I think you should go back to your quarters and rest...
Do I look tired?
Not really, you look depressing.
Depressing? I'll take your advice then.
This is the first time I've fought this kind of boring battle.
If our army takes action, they would not dare to approach.
If the enemy attack, we'll just stay low.
Why is this so?
Luckily we are protected by the Fortress.
This kind of battle doesn't suit my style.
Why talk about style at this time?
We don't know what the enemy is up to.
Are they really attacking the Fortress?
That's why they are here to attack us.
Is that so?
They seem to be like playing with us.
They want to play with us...
it's better then fighting in the battlefield.
It's not a matter on your interest.
I'm reminding you on the Empire Army's intentions.
I'm clear on that.
What you can think of,
the Commander would already have thought of it.
This insensitive fellow is the worst lover that you can find.
But he's the best strategist that you can find.
That's opposite of you, isn't it?
I'm not that nave.
I'm not up to it.
Anyway, I'm a great lover.
To a lover, that is a demerit.
Is that so?
That's right. One more thing...
Nearly forgotten while talking to you.
Actually, find someone to chat with when you are free,
can really sort out your thoughts.
Ok.
But it matters on who is your partner.
Julian is more innocent.
He's a good choice.
But you're different.
Too bad, I'm influenced by you.
Now you've mentioned...
Julian is not here.
Isn't that a big influence on Commander Yang?
Maybe...
Maybe that kid's value is higher then we thought.
Well?
You finally admit it.
Julian's not here. No one to play with you.
Maybe I should get Charlotte to take care of you.
Oh no!
You seem to understand what I am saying.
Listen to me.
The Empire Army must have known that they are at a deadlock,
at lserlohn frontlines.
They will want to make use of this opportunity,
to start a military campaign in the name of reinforcements.
This reinforcement would not head towards the lserlohn
Corridor but towards the Phezzan Corridor.
In other words, that's their objective.
We are completely being made use in this great plan.
I know, but so what?
It's the same as in the previous coup d'etat.
I know Lohengramm's objective...
but I can't do anything.
I guessed it correct, but I'm not happy.
Instead of being a prophet,
I would rather be an executor, it seems much more valuable.
If only Julian's here.
I'm sorry, Commander.
I'm sorry to disturb you.
There are movements in the Empire Army.
I know, I'll go over now.
Oh yes, Sir.
It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize.
Now I feel better.
Thank you.
Yes.
What is the enemy up to?
Can't figure out.
There's 500 squadrons,
continously attacking using guerilla tactics.
Prepare the mobile gun turrets for counterattack.
Good. Prepare the Thor Hammer.
Enemy fleet, retreating!
District E37, 538th gun turret destroyed.
52nd fleet is damaged.
47th gun turret is not responding.
The 4th wave of attack is coming!
Prepare for the second firing of the Thor Hammer!
Thor Hammer energy full!
Let them die.
The enemy's 5th wave, forward 53 degrees, 9 o'clock.
Is that the Thor Hammer's weakness?
The turret between the 67B and 77 District is moving towards 56th.
Prepare the Photon Missiles.
Shall we send out the Spartanians?
Not now. Just attack with the gun turrets.
Ask the Logistics to take care of the casualties.
Thor Hammer, finished preparing to fire!
Fire!
If this goes on, the outer wall will be attacked.
Get the staff to evacuate from the turret that will be attacked.
Fire the main canon from the fluid metal atmosphere.
What? Won't they bomb themselves too?
Let it hit it on the fluid metal.
I see.
I wonder how much this will costs.
Continue to attack. We can't use
the floating gun turrets if we were to continue to attack.
Don't relax. We must grab this opportunity.
The third firing of the Thor Hammer!
Firing point, forward 27 degrees, 8 o'clock.
Energy fill proportion is 70%!
Never mind. Prevent the enemy from gathering.
Fire the Thor Hammer.
The Thor Hammer.
It's outside the firing range.
It's the gathering of the 6th formation.
The 6th formation, retreat temporarily!
What are our and the enemy's damages so far?
We've destroyed 200 enemy gun turrets,
but we've 200 ships damaged too.
Let me see...
We'll withdraw for the moment.
But...
What we've done so far should be enough.
We have inflicted much damages on the enemy.
Continue on would only result in meaningless deaths.
Yes Sir.
The show is starting... The attack on
Iserlohn Fortress by the Empire Army is indeed a failure.
They have retreated back to their territory.
According to the information from Phezzan,
Reuentahl hasn't given up on the invasion itself,
and is asking for reinforcements.
Empire Army Supreme Commander, Reinhard Lohengramm,
expresses regret on Reuentahl's fight,
has ordered all the officials to conquer lserlohn at all costs.
Gale Wolf who's been awaiting orders in the star zone,
Admiral Mittermeier, Admiral Steinmetz,
Admiral Wahlen, Admiral Muller and other Admirals,
are instructed to lead the fleets.
Get to lserlohn Fortress in the fastest speed,
I will leave the Capital and join in the battle as well.
All the best, everyone.
Yes Sir. We will do our best.
It has started.
It's also the beginning of the ending.
This will be a long journey.
I've got to pay Heinrich a visit before I depart...
Empire Year 798, 9 December, April.
The 2nd part of the Ragnorarok Operation had begun.
Beyond the line of sight where Reinhard gazed...
A sea of stars that is to be conquered showed limitless breadth.
Gjallarhorn's Thunder
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.
