Knights! Mercenaries!
Let's go!
Our battlefield is Orléans, which will fall without us!
I won't let you become the heroic savior.
Montmorency!
Alençon!
I'm not alone.
Th-That military force...
It's my sister's private army.
All troops, pull back!
We're making a tactical withdrawal!
You must become a true knight.
We'll have a chance to win, if Montmorency can reach Jeanne.
Let's go!
They're taking one point of strategic importance after another!
Commander Campbell died in battle!
We've received a report that the black alchemist already entered the fortress!
The elixir is drying up inside her, so the scabbard is not reacting.
The cursed princess will wake up with the prince's baiser.
Montmorency...
#09 Dance Music of White and Black.
Jeanne d'Arc and the Alchemist Knight
It's... over.
Not yet.
Don't give up yet!
Our battle is not yet over!
Everyone, I have recovered!
I'm the Maiden of Domremy!
I promise you that I won't die until I lead France to victory!
Let's fight together,
and take down the Tourelles complex!
It sounds as if Jesus Christ was resurrected
after his execution at Golgotha.
It seems they have obtained some form of healing power.
If only you had crushed her head as we originally planned...
Taking you with her?
That's what you should've done.
Do not hesitate this time, and strike her head, Glasdale.
There was a certain archer in the past.
He was a bastard who boasted about his skills.
That brought him unwanted attention from the feudal lord.
Shooting an apple on his wife's head
would have been within his capability.
However...
Don't worry.
I don't fear death.
In fact, I welcome it.
Death is salvation for a cursed Ulysses.
It would bring me happiness.
You welcome death?
I was anticipating it when I put on the Holy Grail for the very first time.
I was hoping maybe I would not be chosen by the Holy Grail and die.
But Montmorency's Elixir turned me into Ulysses.
It was your destiny from birth to become the empress of the world.
You are not permitted to die until that happens.
That is your destiny!
Montmorency...
Residents of Orléans have started an uprising.
They plan to open the castle gate,
cross the Loire River with a group of ships,
and build a bridge towards the Tourelles complex.
We will be attacking from both sides, with our soldiers at Augustine's Fortress.
What's the movement of the English army?
They've gathered at the complex.
They probably intend to repel the civilians first.
I have to rush to their aid!
You have to remain here.
Huh?
We didn't revive you so that you could return to the battlefield.
I should just cheer for everybody from safety?
That's not right!
A single Ulysses can only absorb a single Philosopher's Stone.
That's the rule.
You were able to absorb the power of Escalibor's scabbard,
because you had only absorbed half a stone.
But it's one time only.
You can never use the power of the scabbard again.
It means that we will not be able to revive you again
if you take another hit from Glasdale's arrow.
We wouldn't be able to face Princess Charlotte
if something were to happen to you again.
Leave this to me and Xaintrailles.
Also, we have 2,000 reinforcement soldiers!
What?
The Gilles de Rais Squadron!
Montmorency brought them from his home!
The black Ulysses appeared on the Loire Bridge!
I'm being painted with lust... for blood!
Jeanne!
Forgive me. I'm arrogant when I'm Ulysses.
All right, you nitwits!
Commence Anti-Jeanne Tactic Number Two!
All units, your target is above the bridge!
Noire will lure Jeanne to the location!
Jeanne...
Montmorency!
Don't bother shooting now!
You won't hit her while she's accelerating!
If I can turn the Ulysses into ashes,
the weak French bastards will return to their cowardly selves.
Noire!
It's the maiden!
We're saved!
We'll help!
Stay back!
But...
I'm saying that your determination alone is enough.
The power I've borrowed from all of you is moving me right now!
Idiot! You can't get past the Tourelles complex all on your own!
Can't you see that?!
Montmorency!
Why are you rushing off all on your own?
Have you forgotten?
You have comrades with you.
That's right.
We're all willing to risk our lives with you!
Montmorency?
"Please lend me your strength for France."
I'm not great enough to say something like that.
I've only done whatever I could to keep my promise with my friends.
Just until a few days ago,
I didn't even know what it meant to love others...
That was the kind of a child that I was.
So this is what I'll say instead!
Please lend me your strength for the woman I love!
The French army is heading our way!
Wait for us, Jeanne-chan!
Montmorency is heading your way!
What's wrong with these guys?!
They're monstrously strong!
N-No, I don't want to die in a foreign land!
This is where we'll die!
Hurry, Montmorency!
Leave them to us!
Hurry, Montmorency!
All right!
Wait for me, Jeanne.
I won't let you fight all alone.
Until the very last moment...
I'll be right beside you!
Jeanne!
Too slow!
But I can't die.
This helmet possesses the ultimate power of healing.
The Holy Grail.
It's no use, no matter how many times you cut me.
Then I'll crush your head, along with the helmet next time!
Be careful. They're aiming at you from the complex.
I know.
The only thing I need to fear is the Holy Lance arrow.
But Glasdale can't keep up with my acceleration.
Neither can Noire.
I'll win this fight.
Gilles de Rais Squadron...
I wonder how Montmorency managed to obtain 2,000 reinforcement soldiers.
You really don't know anything!
Jeanne!
Montmorency received his family fortune and army from Jean the Redbeard.
But Jean the Redbeard is not a kind person.
He must have had a condition...
Like marrying his cousin, Catherine.
Jeanne!
Are you safe?
Jeanne?
Did you break your promise?
You said you would be with me forever...
That you would never get married.
Afww... Your heart is broken.
Montmorency, what am I to you?
Am I just a weapon to fight against the English army?
Of course not, Jeanne!
I had no other way!
And Catherine is just...
Jeanne!
Don't interrupt our conversation!
You shouldn't be so easily provoked
to strike your opponent's head.
That's a mistake!
Jeanne!
Now, aim!
No!
Wait! Don't tell me...
Fire!
This is...
Only one is real.
But you can't tell which.
And you can't accelerate in air.
Let's die, Jeanne!
Sheesh, you're the most troublesome lady in the world.
Montmorency!
I realized it the moment I swallowed the stone.
The Philosopher's Stone I swallowed was the other half of yours.
If your power is offensive, then my power must be defensive!
The two of us make one!
What?!
The ability to turn air harder than steel...
I guess I'll call it Mur D'Air, or the wall of air, for now.
Are you telling me that you swallowed the Philosopher's Stone?
How can you do something so foolish?!
You can only stay as Ulysses for three minutes.
Your body will keep transmuting elixir, which will react with the Philosopher's Stone,
causing it to spiral out of control.
You may die of madness after the stone takes over your mind,
or you may simply explode.
In any case, there can only be horrible consequences.
I'll rip the stone out of your stomach!
That's insane! Are you trying to kill me?
Jeanne!
I hardened the air around her feet!
Now's the chance, Jeanne!
I can't crush that helmet!
You still have to try!
We're both running out of time!
Go, Jeanne!
The result is the same, no matter how many times you try!
Glasdale!
Ashes to ashes, the dead should head to the realm of the dead!
Come on! Crush our heads with that arrow!
I won't let you die yet!
Glasdale!
You'll be a loser for the rest of your life if you chicken out now!
I wont let it happen!
Pierce it!
Oh, no!
Jeanne!
Glasdale...
You hesitated...
Loved by Montmorency...
You hoarded it all...
Noire?!
Montmorency...
We won...
The maiden is victorious!
Montmorency!
Is your body all right?
Yeah.
I felt weird for a second,
but I'm fine, as you can see.
Your prediction wasn't very reliable, after all.
Man, I should've just become Ulysses from the startー
What's wrong?
It's... nothing.
Are you serious? What is that?
Could that be the English army's magic or something?
No, it's not.
It's...
Who would've thought that love...
An act of love....
would trigger the end of the world?
The unfolding of the fifth dimension...
The unfolding of the sixth dimension...
The unfolding of the seventh dimension...
This can't be happening!
No way!
I never thought the Philosopher's Stone would go out of control in this way...
This is going out of control?
I thought I was just going to die, and that was it!
What is that?

I heard from English soldiers,
that breasts are called "boobs" in English.
There's an "s" in the end because there are two, plural!
This is going to be on the test!
