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.
The star high above,
will exist for the sake of the conquerors and leaders.
Let's wait and see.
I'm really happy.
Congratulations.
Cheers. Cheers.
Cheers for the New Year.
Let's toast to our victory
Let's toast to the death of the Alliance.
Cheers.
He's Trung, young and capable.
I'm not too old myself.
But I'm not as capable as him.
But I feel
that you're always one of a kind among these youngsters.
You're special.
The war will end soon.
I think everyone agrees on that.
Are you anxious?
Let's not talk about this.
This time the Chief Commander may lead the troops
to the Alliance.
You mean Bucock?
He's really...
He's really experienced.
You and me, Reuentahl and Wittenfeld.
Our experiences can not even beat him.
He's a living breathing Military relic.
You're so animated.
Happy New Year.
I hope your New Year will be smoothly sailing.
This year should be a significant one in history.
By the way, Mittermeier.
You're a rare man in using troops.
But the Alliance should be struggling.
When should we deal with them?
I'd like to hear your opinion.
If the Alliance has enough troops,
and they're not concerned about losses,
I think they will send troops to the exit of the corridor
and challenge us.
If we want to fight them, we can only attack them head on.
This is the best defence for Alliance.
But they don't have enough troops
and so they can't use this strategy.
I think they might lure us to the Alliance
and when our supplies have run out,
they'll cut our supplies and destroy our communication lines
and isolate us. They'll then attack.
In other words they'll repeat the incident
at Battle of Amlitzer 3 years ago.
So if we delay the war,
we'll fall for their trap.
But our chances of victory are also here.
You want to attack in 2 ways?
Right.
Muller, what do you think?
I agree with Mittermeier.
But I don't think the Alliance's strategy
can't be perfect.
It's despicable to look at the enemy and fight them.
But to think about it,
people who are so short-sighted should be punished.
If so, this will be to our advantage.
If we can stop the enemy
and force them into a long aimless war,
it may be meaningless
but we'll win eventually.
But this strategy is so boring.
I hope to fight a war to make them lose their guts.
That's enough.
Can you give me a glass of apple juice?
Thank you.
Miss Marindorf.
I think future historians will envy us.
I believe they will want to attend this party
and be a witness.
Perhaps.
Although Vice admiral Trung was Reinhard's old classmate,
you can tell from his actions he's imitating Reinhard.
A genius may not be a good target to imitate.
Sir Reinhard, I'll take my leave first.
Good luck. We'll meet in Heinessen.
Take care.
Mittermeier will lead troops to Phezzan
and Reuentaul will take charge at lserlohn.
It seems like The Twin Towers will show its powers again.
Is there anything you're not satisfied?
Not satisfied? How can that be?
But the have so many achievements
and this time we let them have a chance to show off again.
Will the difference between ourselves widen?
In the past, under the rule of the aristocrats, it doesn't
mean you'll be promoted even if you've achieved something.
From this point of view,
our era is fairer.
A few years ago,
no matter how capable Mittermeier is he won't be
given an important role in the army, given his young age.
Muller is only 29 this year right?
He suffered a defeat the last time
and does not have much achievements.
Yet he holds such a high rank.
He must thank this war-torn era.
But the war will end soon.
His chances of achieving anything are low.
No, maybe not at all.
Maybe the Ragnorok is his last chance.
Are you tired?
Hilda, it's you.
I'm not tired. I'm just...
Just what?
I'm a little worried.
Not because of this war.
I'm confident of winning.
The universe will be mine when I win.
But what about the future?
Can I tolerate days without enemies
or wars?
This is too scary.
Reinhard.
Maybe I think too much.
I dare not say I'll win for sure.
Because the Alliance
will have their own strategy.
Mittermeier has set off. He's fast.
There're many unbeatables in history.
If they lose just one war,
they'll be erased from history.
I can't follow in their footsteps.
From that day on,
my life belongs not only to me. Galaxy calendar Year,
490. The early part of Empire calendar Year, 490
The news of Phezzan being occupied by the Empire has reached
the Alliance. The Alliance has started to control the media
and spend much time debating
when is the time to let the people know.
But it's useless.
Some people who came back from Phezzan
has spread the news.
Why won't they let us interview at the meeting?
According to the rules, it's your duty to report to the people.
This is none of our business.
Our duty is to follow orders.
Very well.
Tell the person in charge to come out.
Right. Tell him to come out.
The spokesman is here.
What's going on?
I hereby announce
the decree of Truniht.
I feel responsible for this war.
Report finished.
Just these 2 lines?
End of Report.
It's not the time to talk about responsibility.
We want to know what the government intends to do?
Speak! Right..
Please give us an answer. Speak!
Report finished.
What's this, spokesman.
He may feel responsible
but this is not only his responsibility.
I think everyone in the Alliance should be responsible.
These people don't know how to help
the government.
The bootlicker is right. They want to protect their interests.
It's strange.
Truniht doesn't seem to be at the meeting.
He's gone.
What did you say? Don't tell me he's not taking responsibility?
He's only good at stirring up the people.
How are things over at the meeting?
I think Alain is standing in for him.
Alain is standing in for him?
What is he doing?
Isn't he only good at getting discounts?
He's worse then Truniht.
Leave the commanding to the uniformed experts.
We've to decide if we should surrender
or fight till the end?
I'd like to hear what you've to say.
Those who agree to surrender...
We intend to fight till the end.
Even if the lands will be destroyed and
Iives are sacrificed?
Or can we negotiate with the enemy?
Let's aim for peace
and think of a situation where we can derive benefit.
We're not choosing violence to achieve peace.
I must confirm this. We must have
the help of the army if we are to achieve good conditions.
If so, we're willing to help.
Good. I'll leave it to you.
I'll take my leave first. I've many things to do.
Since things have reached this stage,
it's the first time I'm aware of what I should do.
I'll do my best. Bye.
How come he has become so hardworking?
But it's better than he does nothing.
But why didn't Alain wake up earlier?
Perhaps I shouldn't have said that but I often think so.
If the riots were successful, things might be better.
If so,
maybe the national defense will be better.
Then let the Alliance and the Empire
fight it between themselves.
This is worse.
Yes. You're right.
If there's anything to brag about,
I'm proud of being a soldier of democracy.
I can't tolerate the Alliance using the dictatorship of the Empire
as an excuse to fight them.
And let our system become undemocratic.
I'd rather the Alliance die for democracy
that let the Alliance become a dictatorship.
You sound too extreme.
If we can't protect our nation's motto
and the lives of the people,
I think this country has no right to exist.
I'll fight for my country and my people.
Yes.
I'd better leave.
Where are you going?
I need to go to the HQ.
This decision lies with Admiral Dawson.
I can't decide alone.
This is the army of a democratic nation.
After many years of unrest,
the Alliance has lost much of its troops.
Besides Yang's troop guarding at lserlohn,
only one troop is complete.
Eversince the commander of the 1st troop, Kubersily
was transferred to the HQ,
it is now led by the commander of the 2nd troop, Paeta.
Besides, all the guards of the universe
and the ships used for surveillance, there're
ships that are to be scrapped and the untested new ships.
All these add up to 20 000 ships.
These ships are divided into the 14th and 15th troop
and led by Leonard Morton and Leaf Connelly.
If the Alliance can protect us, it'll be good.
No matter where we run to, we can't depend on Phezzan.
What should we do then?
How should we protect the young king?
Let me say something, Comrades,
you're not worried about the fate of Goldenbaum
But you're worried what will happen to you if you betray
Reinhard. Am I right?
Baron.
Don't spoil your reputation just because you got drunk.
Regrettably, I've no reputation to be spoilt.
I'm different from you.
I can say out those things
you're afraid others will know.
Like pleasing Reinhard
by giving him the king.
You shameless drunkard.
Have you deserted the pride of the aristocrats?
You forgot the past glories and honour?
You're only concerned about your own safety.
You're a shameless fool.
Really? Merkatz joined the Cabinet?
Yes.
Then I'll come again.
The king is the most pitiful.
I'm not capable
but I'm willing to do anything for the king.
Please tell Merkatz
that I really hope
I can do something for the king.
Yes.
How did things turn out this way?
Is there any news from Phezzan?
No.
Really?
Did something happen?
My ex-subordinate is still at Phezzan.
They escaped from the Empire
and fought Reinhard in Lippstaddt War.
I'm worried for them.
Admiral.
Admiral Osman he...
He's sick. His brain is bleeding.
What?
How's things?
He's been sent to the hospital.
He's unconscious.
How did things turn out this way?
I think he overworked himself.
There's no other way.
We must change the Chief Advisor.
He has a young man under him. He was an ex-teacher
at the school but was transferred to the advisory bureau.
Are you talking about Vice admiral Tilton?
Yes.
The students laughed at him, saying he's a baker.
Let him do it.
Tell him to come now.
I'm sorry. We just finished half of it.
Please don't mind me.
Just put the bread here. I'll heat it up.
The taste is still good.
We can conclude something now that we've Osman.
We've not experience the enemy's attacks from lserlohn.
Only when the enemy's supplies have finished
and then we'll attack from the side.
Force them to retreat when they can't attack.
This is my basic idea.
If you've any ideas, please say so.
We'll call back Yang.
What do everyone think?
Yang's talent and intelligence
are valuable assets to us.
For now,
if we let him stay at lserlohn,
it's like putting freshly toasted bread in the fridge.
The enemy has broken through the Phezzan corridor.
Iserlohn will soon lose its strategic value.
We're still wasting troops to protect it.
I think this is useless.
You're right.
But Yang is fighting the enemy in lserlohn.
We shouldn't do anything rash.
I believe Yang can handle this.
Even if we demand to negotiate,
the Empire will surely want us to return lserlohn.
Then,
it 's useless for Yang to defend lserlohn.
His talent can't help the Alliance.
He's only leading our troop.
We don't have excess troops.
I think we should put Yang to the greatest use
and that is to call him back.
As a soldier, he should obey our orders.
This will help the situation too.
You mean you want me to order Yang to abandon lserlohn?
No, just give him a hint.
Tell him the HQ will bear full responsibility.
Ask him to use the best strategy.
I don't think Yang will defend lserlohn till death.
What's going on? You're still here?
Have I been sacked?
A captain should not abandon his ship. The communication
routes at Phezzan has been controlled by the military.
We can't know what's going on in the country.
Do you have another way?
Your relationship with the officials should be good.
Are you still talking nonsense?
Everyone has run away.
Help me to carry these securities.
This is bad.
I wonder how's my ship?
I can only hope that the Alliance loses.
Then I can return to Phezzan.
I hope Yang will not force himself.
There're many things that go wrong all the time.
If we can't help it, we might as well get drunk and sleep.
Commander.
There's message from the capital.
Is it another order?
No, it's some advice from Bucock.
Advice?
Bucock understands me.
What did Bucock say?
He says the HQ will bear full responsibility.
You've to act according to what you think is best.
That's all.
This means that Bucock has left everything to you.
Wait, he means...
He's deep.
His orders are always beyond what I'm paid to do.
It's not worth it.
How much is one enemy ship worth?
It may seem like a promotion to transfer me here.
But...
Do you think he wants us to stay here till our death?
Do not come back alive?
I think you think too much.
What is it?
Things don't look good.
Lt. Colonel Helm has had a heart attack.
Again?
How come the health of youngsters are so bad?
I think he overworked himself.
He has not slept for the past few days.
What's your name?
I remember you've a strange name.
I'm Major Soun Soul. I belong to the Rear guards.
Right.
Major Soun Soul, you're now the assistant officer.
Go now.
Yes.
What's going on? Where's everyone?
After preparations all troops will move out.
There's news from Bayerlein's flagship.
There's no trace of the enemy at the exit of Phezzan.
It seems like we can go through the corridor.
But I wonder if we'll reach the canteen?
The food may even be poisoned.
We're unwelcome guests.
799 Galaxy years 490 Empire years 8th January.
The first troop of the Empire has broken through Phezzan corridor.
It's heading for the 'Star of the Ocean'.
Arrival of the Cold Wave
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.
