Have you thought about it?
I was tainted once. There's some anxiety but I'll give it a go.
I will protect Marlind.
A young Shepherd like you continues to journey to save the world.
You're right.
I believe that failure teaches us how we can improve.
But what happens once, happens twice.
Hey!
This time though, the Normin seraph will stay to help, right?
Oh no, I've been singled out.
I guess I have no choice.
What occurs at morn, occurs at night. One calamity turns into two.
Edna! Stop it!
I'm just warning you.
Is everything ready?
Shepherd.
We head for the border between Hyland and Rolance...to Glaivend Basin.
#11 The War We head for the border between Hyland and Rolance...to Glaivend Basin.
The Hyland army will undoubtedly make this the base of their Rolance invasion.
The invasion force could be as high as 21,000 troops.
The Rolance army won't be sitting idle either.
So we'll wedge 1200 troops from Marlind and stop the war.
Knowing Bartlow,
all routes connecting Ladylake will be heavily guarded.
So it's probably safe to assume that 18,000 troops will head for Glaivend.
He'll have taken every precaution for his own safety.
Anyway, we'll be outnumbered 15 to 1.
I'm prepared for that, Maltran.
I'm not going there to fight a war.
You may believe that,
but ultimately, our troops may end up facing their own countrymen.
No, I'm sure they will understand too.
Princess!
Ian...
It's been a long time, Princess.
Ian!
Sirel, long time no see!
You've become quite womanly!
In ten days? Hah!
As for you, Ian, I think your chest has filled out a bit.
Now that you mention it, my chain armor feels tight!
I was joking.
Really?
You were childhood friends, right?
Yes! We're like siblings.
We liked the same boy too.
His name was Robert, the second son of the village head.
He was so cute, and quite mature for his age.
Ian...
Yes!
Tell us all about it next time.
I will.
You haven't changed at all, Princess!
You're as pretty as a flower and as awe-inspiring as a stallion.
Hah! You never change either, Ian!
I'm flatter me, Princess!
I snagged a fat prickleboar on the way that you can add to your meals.
Oh?
I'm sure you hunted it with a single shot
Naturally.
That person wouldn't be...?
What is it?
Master Shepherd!
You're...!
Is something the matter?
Oh no. just that you're not like the rumors I heard.
Rumors?
That you subjugated the dragon in Ladylake and burned it to a crisp.
That's so heroic.
So I was expecting someone more muscular.
Master Shepherd, may I... May I hold your hand?
Sure.
Now I've been blessed by you!
I'm never going to wash this hand!
What a lively person.
She thinks the Shepherd is a good luck charm.
Now then, Ian...
Have you brought me any interesting news?
Yes, we checked the number of Hyland troops.
Let's hear it.
Bartlow was too coward to let the troops guarding him go.
I figured as much.
The total force is 20,000.
What's the matter?
I estimated 18,000.
It seems Bartlow is absolutely determined to win this war.
Are you sure, Boss?
Should the Scattered Bones be doing something like this?
We have no choice. I got myself involved.
Chasing after that Princess and watching her has made me curious.
Curious about what?
She said she'll stake her life to stop the war.
That's something!
And what'll happen if she dies?
Is she a fool?
She sure is a fool.
I love this fog! Cover us up! Hide us!
It's as though Heaven is telling us to win.
Lord Bartlow will be very happy.
As soon as the 2nd unit arrives, we'll launch a surprise attack on Rolance.
I can just picture their shock.
Alisha...
Where are you going?
I'm going to get water.
At this hour?
I can't sleep.
Neither can I.
We'll soon reach Glaivend Basin, right?
If nothing is done, it'll turn into a battlefield.
Yes.
Man killing man heedlessly.
I can't begin to imagine it.
You're right.
I've seen little skirmishes, but nothing of this scale.
Like you said, if the war hasn't started, I will help you.
But if the fighting has begun...
I know what you're getting at.
I'm sorry to make you worry.
No...
I like you, Alisha.
But if war has begun, I cannot side with Hyland.
Of course, I feel the same way about Rolance.
I support your approach towards conflict.
A Shepherd should stop war.
Right now, I don't know how I'm going to do that.
But I wanted to explain my feelings before we reached there.
I understand.
Thank you, Sorey.
Say, Sorey...
We're headed to this Glaivend Basin to wage war, right?
It's to stop a war.
Right, to stop a war.
It's sort of strange.
It's only been a short while since we left Elysia.
Mikleo, you're being sentimental.
I can't help but be sentimental... when all this is happening.
- You're right. - Yes.
I wonder how Gramps is doing.
Gramps is fine.
Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
Listen, Sorey...
If you're able to stop the war...
want to go and explore some ruins?
Exploring?
Shepherds need to take a break too.
You're right.
It's a promise.
This is something Sorey must see through as a Shepherd.
There's no doubt that this will be a huge test for him.
Didn't you say it was too soon for Sorey?
If he could have gotten a little more experience...
Rather...
I wish he could have avoided being in a war all together.
Well, man has no qualms about starting wars. It can't be helped.
Humans are such fools.
General Landon!
Rolance forces attacked from the rear! We were caught by surprise.
The rear?! That's our domain!
Why did you enter their borders? This is a violation of our pact.
What's the matter, Sergei?
What's important in war is to win.
Victory must have principle!
This way, our troops will be labeled cowards.
Now, now...
As long as we win, the politicians will take care of the rest.
The feint went superbly. Let's mobilize our main force.
Sergei, where are you off to?
I'm not ordering my men to war.
It's already begun...
I sense the Malevolence even from here.
Mediation will be difficult even if we get between them.
What will you do, Alisha?
I'll meet with General Landon and try to work something out.
I doubt if you will.
Then I'll capture him.
Sorey...
I'll leave that to you.
I'm going to do what I can.
Don't falter! Keep pushing forward!
This Malevolence...
Hatred, pain, anger...
Hellions are being born everywhere.
Let's go, everyone.
They're coming!
Rolance troops! Even back here?!
Alisha! Take the bypath!
We'll make our stand here.
Maltran!
Make sure you realize your dream.
I will.
Rose! Are you coming?
You told me to bear witness, Princess.
I am Alisha Diphda! Let me pass!
General Landon!
Where is General Landon?
We're in the midst of war! Please wait.
Princess Alisha is here?!
Fool! As if that young missy would come here of all places!
General Landon...
Princess Alisha! What brings you to the front lines of battle?
Send a messenger to the Rolance base and cease fighting immediately.
This is an order.
An order...?
I can't do that.
Capture the princess!
You have no authority to do that.
I hate to inform you, but Lord Bartlow has given me full authority.
She won't submit peacefully.
Wound her if you must!
Okay, Princess. What now?
- Sorey. - Sorey...!
There's so much Malevolence... coming this way.
Are you okay?!
Sorry.
You hopeless...!
Don't just stand there! Capture her!
Aren't you guys from Princess' side?!
Woman, mind your own business and go!
Or I won't guarantee your life!
Calamity Flare!
We'll put our own soldiers at risk!
Never mind! Fire away!
What's the hold up over two young girls?
Say Princess, these guys mean business.
I can't.
Why?!
They may be your countrymen, but your life is in danger!
This is justified self-defense! It's kill or be killed!
I just...can't.
Take care of them!
Well, I can't stand this. I'll get him!
No!
Hey...!
Even between countrymen...? Is this what war is?
You stubborn princess!
Alisha!
Almost there...
Let's do it, Mikleo.
Luzrov Rulay!
Arrow Squall!
Sorey!
Sorey, you did it!
They're all purified!
You halted the war. That's amazing!
No way!
Sorey!
Well done!
Do you even know what you've done?!
I'm okay. This is nothing.
Shut up!
You... Wipe the blood off.
Or your sword will rust.
You bastards...
This is your princess!
What? What is the meaning of this?!
Not again?!
This power...
Seraphim!
This is...
This domain... I've never sensed it this much...
This is ridiculous... Malevolence this powerful?!
No way...
That's...a human hellion.
That's a human?!
But he doesn't look human at all.
Why?
He is...
"The Lord of Calamity"!
Preview of the next episode
Luzrov Rulay is a tongue twister.
Then shorten it to Zrov.
Why?
Actually, I bit my tongue on that too.
Sorey!
Imagine if you're in a decisive battle.
Mikleo, armatization!
Luzroz Rulay... Ow, I bith my thongue! See how embarrassing that'd be?
Well, what if you just extend it, like... Laylaylaylay!
- It sounds energizing! - Yeah, sure!
It's time. Next, the final episode. Don't miss it.
I said don't shorten it!
Next time is the final episode: "The Lord of Calamity"!
