Galaxy Calendar Year 800, 20th May New Empire Calendar Year 2
The troops of the Yang's fleet had a good sleep.
They could discuss how to reply to Emperor Reinhard's request.
We initially thought of luring the Emperor into the Corridor,
and on to the meeting table.
This was what we came to war for, in the first place.
We've no reason to turn down his request now.
But it's not like the Empire Army can't win us.
They have no reason to ask for reconciliation.
I still think there's a catch somewhere. Maybe they're
using it as a bait to lure Commander out, then kill him off.
No, I think the possibility is low.
Because the Emperor...
has a strong pride.
It's not likely that he'd resort to such means
just because he can't wind the war, which he is good in.
Even if the Emperor himself doesn't think so, there are
still many who think differently.
To have shed so much blood, and not win the war,
it's a disgrace to the Emperor, the war genius.
There are those with too much loyalty and too little judgmental
powers. They may plot something.
This is what I feel.
I think Commander should go and see Reinhard.
Can I go too?
No matter what,
why would that itching-for-war Emperor ask
for a meeting to stop the war?
Reinhard's sudden request to meet Yang Wenli...
has caused quite a stir with the Empire too.
Even Hilda who objects to the Emperor's plan,
may be hoping for this to happen,
but it was still unexpected.
He's spent so much effort, launching military attacks,
and he's so bent on having Yang surrender to him,
he can't just weaken because...
he's got a fever.
Kircheis told me so.
He did say so.
Please don't go on fighting with Yang. Stop all this fighting.
He's going to tell me what he thinks even if he dies.
I get it, Kircheis.
You are always like this.
You are born only 2 weeks earlier than me,
and you like to act like you know a lot,
always try to stop me from fighting.
I am older than you.
Because you will be young forever.
Ok, I promise you.
I'll try to talk to Yang Wenli.
But I promise you, I'll have a good talk with him.
But I can't guarantee I won't fall out with him.
In the end, nobody can do the job,
only a dead person's spirit did it.
But, since...
But I think Wittenfeld and his fellows...
won't resort to violence, before the meeting turns sour.
But Fahrenheit, Steinmetz and those in their troops...
are waiting to take revenge for their Commander.
It's be hard to suppress them.
But you won't need to beat them up.
Actually, we can just seal up lserlohn Fortress.
Since those guys were united by Yang Wenli's capability...
and reputation,
we'll simply have to be patient,
and wait till he's dead. That'll do it.
But it's similar for the Empire.
the Empire will lose its leader.
Yang's basic strategy works like this...
Who'd thought that the Emperor would fall sick before this?
The doctor said it's just exhaustion.
The Emperor die from illness.
Emperor Reinhard is a soldier, he stands by his words.
He can be trusted.
But not everybody in the New Empire can be trusted like
Mittermeier, who's reliable, and stands by his words.
This is not just murder.
The riots by those who want to avenge the dead,
can be hard to control. We've to think about that too.
Since that's the case, pardon me for saying,
Iet me go on Commander Yang's behalf, to meet Emperor Reinhard.
Then I ask him the details, such as the conditions or proposals.
Then we'll get Commander Yang to go over and negotiate with them.
What do you guys think?
No, this won't work, Julian.
To go and talk to the Emperor on an equal status,
is very impolite.
If we hurt the Emperor's feelings,
he may change his mind about reconciliation.
We may lose the chance for peace forever.
And now,
if we go into war against the Empire,
we don't have any chance of winning at all.
You're right.
The soldiers have not recovered from their exhaustion yet.
And looking at lserlohn's production scale,
we'll need a lot of time to replenish our supplies.
What's more, we don't have replacements for who've perished.
Moreover, we've lost Lieutenant General Fisher.
Merely drafting the battle tactics is not enough.
It's useless if the troops are unable
to carry out the tactics fully.
If we reject the invitation to the meeting,
it'll be suicidal.
The Emperor's taken the imitative, and requested for a meeting
with us, this may mean victory for us.
If Phezzan or those in the Former Alliance...
started an anti-Empire riot,
we'll have a stronger stand.
Don't raise your expections too high.
Alright, we'll go with Yang. Who's coming with us?
Mrs Yang, the Assistant Commander, should've gone with him.
But she's resting from her flu.
She's not in the condition to attend today's meeting.
And I have to concentrate on replenishing the military supplies.
So I can't attend the meeting too.
Just in case, we need some excellent bodyguards.
It's be safer.
You can't go.
How can the Defence Commander...
not go?
At this time?
What about me?
You? You need to be in charge of...
commanding the battleship, when Yang's not around.
I don't have any reasonability then?
I think nothing's more ridiculous than...
an empty battleship. You can't go.
It's better to have somebody more experienced to be around.
Those who remain, take note of the surroundings.
Commander, please let me go with you.
In the end, only three high-ranking officers went along.
One of them was Assistant advisor, Rear admiral Patrochiev.
One was lieutenant colonel Blumehart, one of Rosen Ritters.
The other one was a Marshal's assistant officer,
Major Soul.
Blumhart will be the bodyguard.
Soul was chosen because he was Bucock's assistant.
What about Patrochiev?
He's company.
What else is there?
Wouldn't it be better for you to be company?
Afterall, I'm just a troublemaker, got it?
But I'm really surprised Yang didn't bring Julian along.
If he brings Julian along, we can't tell who's the bodyguard.
Julian, I'll leave the guarding to you.
Leave it to me...
I want to say something to you.
It's a pity I can't go with you.
You think I won't be of help?
Compared to Rear admiral Patrochiev, I'm...
Silly guy, I've always relied on you.
Six years ago, when you came to my home carrying luggage...
Iarger than yourself,
I've relied on you ever since.
Thank you, Commander, but...
if can't go...
I'll get you to go in my place.
If I can go myself, I'll definitely go.
That's all.
Yes, Sir. I'll wait for your good news then.
You'd have to be careful.
Julian...
Tell me honestly,
Caselnes's daughter and Schenkopp's daughter,
who do you like more?
I want to know how you feel,
then I can make preparations.
Commander!
At this time,
Marshal Oberstein, the military official from Phezzan,
sent in a proposal.
He's feigning to make peace.
He's trying to lure Yang away from lserlohn Fortress.
What's more devious,
if Yang refuses to turn up,
they'll get an important official to act as hostage,
in the name of a messenger.
Wait for Yang to show up unaware,
and then kill him off to prevent any future trouble.
Of course, the hostage will be killed by Yang's men too.
Then in the name of revenge, we'll send our troops over...
to overpower them.
Then the whole Universe will be unified under the rule of
Lohengramm. But...
will any important official go, knowing they'll be die for sure?
If nobody's willing to do it,
I'll take on the mission.
But I just can't bring myself to commend him.
To resort to this suicidal option,
just like the way Oberstein died,
Yang would turn in his grave.
Moreover, letting the guy to be hostage to them,
will Yang fall for it?
Let him do whatever he wants. But...
we are not obliged to avenge for Oberstein,
who's killed by a bunch of them. Right?
You're right.
Compared to Yang Wenli, the Universe's better off
now that Oberstein's dead.
Lohengramm's Dynasty can now rule in peace,
this is something to rejoice over.
No matter what,
this proposal is dishonorable.
It's good that Your Highness has not adopted it.
25 May.
Yang Wenli left lserlohn Fortress,
to meet Emperor Reinhard for a second time.
We're not going on Ulysess?
Battleship Radar Number 2
It's too obvious if we go in a battleship.
Radar Number 2 was used 2 years ago,
for the audit meeting.
He came back safely,
the ship's was an auspicious sign.
Who are those people on the ship?
Representatives from the New Government.
The Government hopes to have the power to interfere.
I can't stand it. Have they got the situation right?
This conciliatory meeting was called by Emperor Reinhard...
and directed to Commander Yang.
I don't think the Emperor Reinhard...
thinks much of the New Government.
But...
if the meeting touches on political problems,
Yang has no right to interfere.
This is a question of principle.
Moreover, to agree to the meeting without the Government's approval,
Yang would feel bad about it too.
He's trying to show respect for the Government.
This is the reason why he's brought so few officers with him.
It's always like this.
Frederica...
I'm going to see the most handsome Man of the Universe.
I'll probably be back after 2 weeks.
You must be careful.
Wait up, your hair's messy.
It's alright.
No.
You're going to meet the second most handsome man of the Universe.
I'm going.
Bye.
Mum,
have you done that with Dad before?
Of course.
Don't you still do that now?
Listen to me, Charlotte.
What you've learnt in Grade 1, you won't want to know in Grade 4.
Right?
It should be the same.
And so, Yang and Julian separated.
Since then, Julian has been unhappy.
He kept his sight on Reinhard, the Sun,
and failed to notice other planets.
Phezzan's Merchant Ship The Undutiness
acted on Yang's behalf,
Boris Konev has been wandering around Phezzan.
He reached a region that may be in contact with lserlohn.
It happened 3 days after Yang left the Fortress.
Then, is Yang still alive?
Please, your jokes have never been funny.
This joke...
practically sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
It's a pity, the God of Death seems to have gone on holiday.
The Marshal's doing well.
It's not the time to joke!
Andrew Fork has just escaped from the ayslum.
He's coming over, and trying to murder Yang!
What?
killed 20 million men, 4 years ago, during the Amlitzer Battle.
And he doesn't think it's enough!
For civilisation's sake,
if he wants to kill, he should've killed himself!
Killing is a lifetime occupation for that guy.
What he wants is to control Yang. If he can't do that
on his own merit, he'd kill off his competitors.
He's finally reached this state of madness.
But, is this Fork's plan? And his alone?
Maybe somebody's deliberately let him out...
Get to Commander Yang, and get him back.
It's very urgent.
If too many go over, the Empire may get suspicious.
A few men will do.
Yang's Flagship Ulysess
And so, in the chaotic times,
6 battleships went after Yang, and left lserlohn.
This has to be kept secret.
Especially,
Mrs Yang, who has not been well. You must never let her know.
Yes, Sir.
Please...
Commander.
31 May, 2350 hrs
After dinner, Yang and Romsky
played with the 3-D chess, until it was time for bed.
Checkmate!
I've lost agan.
I'm so weak...
What is Julian doing now?
We still can't get in contact with lserlohn?
Yes, Sir. Seems like it's not just due to the magnetic storm.
I think it may be due to some blocks left by the Empire Army.
I'm feeling happier after the games.
Running off after your victories?
Ok, then we'll have another game tomorrow evening.
Sure, I won't lose to you.
Good night.
Don't tell me the rumour is true.
What rumour?
The accompanying officers,
I heard Commander will appoint only those can beat him at chess.
Captain, the Empire's sent a message.
Commander, sorry to disturb your rest.
The Empire's sent a message to say
that Commodore Andrew Fork from the Former Alliance...
has escaped from the asylum.
He tried to assassinate the Commander,
and take over the armed commercial ships.
He's coming over in this direction.
Commander?
I'll go over immediately.
We'll take a look at the situation first.
I've passed orders to standby on an alert mode.
The Empire Army has sent another message. To be safe,
we've ordered 2 battleships to come over for protection.
But this is not a good time for telecommunications.
I've taken a sleeping pill. I'm sleepy.
The radar's picked up something.
Seems like the 2 armed trading ships.
Standby!
Shoot!
Defend! The main bomber, get ready to bomb!
There're 2 Empire battleships before the trading ships!
What?
The Empire battleship, bomb!
Why?
The Empire's sent over a message.
What should we do?
Alright, we'll take the message.
The terrorists are killed.
You can get a load off your mind now.
Next, I'm going to take you to see the Emperor.
I guess he'd like to talk to you in person.
Our representative is Dr Romsky.
So we'll need to abide by his judgment.
Romsky feels that we should be more gentlemanly,
that is, to agree to his request.
Andrew Fork...
A sinister, arrogant and irritating fellow.
He's used to be a scholar.
It's a pity, he didn't development in that direction.
Any problem that involved formulae,
he'd solve them in a second.
He can't seem to survive outside the world of textbooks.
Do we have to specially let them come?
Where's Commander Yang?
I've let him stay inside.
It's a little too obvious to let him handle this matter by himself.
The right to diplomatic action
should lie with us, the Government.
I think it's better to get this clear.
Not coming out.
They've found it?
Let me ask you, where's Yang?
I don't know. What exactly do you guys want?
It's rule to point a gun at me, don't you think?
Put it down first.
Hurry up and go after him!
As long we follow they,
we'll find Yang
Commander Yang, get down, quick.
Commander,
You'd better leave this place quick!
Commander!
Please hurry, Commander.
Don't do this, it hurts.
Yang is inside!
Hurry.
It's heavy, I can't move it.
Unknown battleship approaching at a high speed.
Try to force itself and merge with Radar Number 2!
Tell me!
Where's Commander Yang?
Get it out quick!
He's... He's gone from this world.
Julian, you'll go and rescue Commander.
I'll do away with these guys.
Yes, Sir.
It's going to be alright.
Ulysess is a strong battleship.
Can't find Radar Number 2 yet?
There'll be hope yet.
Diligence will have its rewards.
Which place is safer?
To think that this has happened.
Luckily Julian and Frederica aren't here.
Commander Yang!
Commander Yang! I'm Julian!
Where are you exactly?
Commander Yang...
The main artery is hit...
I'll kill him!
Seems to have a lost of blood.
But it's nothing compared to the blood
I've lost today.
It's such a shame...
to die in this kind of place.
It's strange.
I'm losing so much blood,
my body should be getting lighter.
But why do I feel like I'm getting heavier?
This is an ugly sight.
Oh my gosh!
The Miracle Yang has become Bloody Yang.
I'm sorry, Frederica.
I'm sorry, Julian.
I'm sorry, everybody.
Commander Yang!
Galaxy Year 800.
1 June, 02:55 hours
Yang's life ended when he reached 33.
The Magician has gone forever.
