LEGEND
OF THE
GALACTIC HEROES
3
00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:37,120
The impregnable Iserlohn Fortress.
4
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,570
The only navigable route linking the Free Planets Alliance and the Galactic Empire...
5
00:01:40,570 --> 00:01:41,230
...is blocked by the Empire's huge satellite constructed in the Iserlohn Corridor.
6
00:01:41,230 --> 00:01:45,230
Iserlohn Fortress
7
00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:51,440
This fortress guards Imperial territory,
preventing invasion by the Alliance.
8
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,740
The Alliance has devoted every
effort to the capture of this fortress.
9
00:01:55,740 --> 00:02:00,340
Six times during the past quarter century they've deployed massive fleets...
10
00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:04,850
...but they all ended as routs,
with countless sacrifices.
11
00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:07,950
There are two commanders
in the Iserlohn Fortress.
12
00:02:07,950 --> 00:02:11,800
The first is the Fortress Commander, Admiral Thoma von Stockhausen.
Admiral Thoma von Stockhausen
13
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:18,000
The other is commander of Iserlohn Stationed Fleet, Admiral Hans Dietrich von Seeckt.
14
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Admiral Hans Dietrich von Seeckt
15
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,070
The two of them disagree about
everything, simply despising each other.
16
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:30,170
While calling each other names, they compete fiercely for glory during Alliance attacks.
17
00:02:30,170 --> 00:02:33,170
As a result, there is little
cooperation between them.
18
00:02:34,170 --> 00:02:36,920
This creates two
competing forces at Iserlohn.
19
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:41,070
These are the fleet stationed at Iserlohn and led by Seeckt...
20
00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:44,480
...and the fortress garrison
is led by Stockhausen.
21
00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:47,890
There's also their huge weapon...
22
00:02:47,890 --> 00:02:52,230
...the giant cannon
called the Thor Hammer.
23
00:03:07,810 --> 00:03:12,210
The capture of Iserlohn Fortress
was the first mission...
24
00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:18,230
...given to Yang Wenli as the commander of the newly formed 13th Fleet.
25
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,550
Planet Heinessen
26
00:03:40,330 --> 00:03:43,340
Geez, you're still sleeping.
27
00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:45,940
Please get up,
Rear Admiral Yang !
28
00:03:45,940 --> 00:03:47,940
Hey, get up !
29
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,640
Julian.
30
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,880
If...if I'm elected
to the High Council...
31
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,350
...the first thing I'll do is make it a capital offense to interfere with a morning nap...
32
00:03:59,350 --> 00:04:01,450
What are you saying ?!
33
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:04,460
If you don't hurry, you'll be
late for an important ceremony !
34
00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:06,160
Important ceremony ?
35
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,060
Have you forgotten ?
36
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:12,330
It's the 13th Fleet's
formation ceremony.
37
00:04:16,970 --> 00:04:21,260
Gentlemen, the 13th Fleet
is our military's crack unit.
38
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:26,480
The veterans of the Battle of Astate
joined with our up and coming youth.
39
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,180
Their express purpose
of capturing Iserlohn...
40
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:29,980
What "up and coming ?"
41
00:04:29,980 --> 00:04:34,180
Isn't it more like scraping
together stragglers and novices ?
42
00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:39,990
The rumors say this fleet's supposed to capture Iserlohn Fortress.
43
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:44,190
You're saying that we, who missed death
at Astate, are gonna get another chance ?
44
00:04:44,190 --> 00:04:46,190
Hey, whispering's prohibited.
45
00:04:46,190 --> 00:04:47,500
I don't care.
46
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,330
In the first place, the commander doesn't
even show up at the formation ceremony.
47
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,300
He's the Hero of El Facil ?
I don't know...
48
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:58,170
But somehow, isn't it
just like him to run away ?
49
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:01,530
...shall we not
fight together ?!
50
00:05:01,530 --> 00:05:03,210
Oh, you're here !
You're late !
51
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:04,710
I'm very sorry.
52
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:06,510
Hey, you're on right now !
53
00:05:06,510 --> 00:05:09,220
Well, then, the first
Commander of the 13th Fleet.
54
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Let me introduce
Rear Admiral Yang Wenli !
55
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:21,630
Let me see...
56
00:05:21,630 --> 00:05:23,830
This is very...
57
00:05:25,730 --> 00:05:27,030
In short...
58
00:05:27,030 --> 00:05:29,830
"For the Fatherland ?"
"Risking Life ?"
59
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:32,240
No...
Why...?
60
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,940
Because we can only drink
good tea while we're living.
61
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:38,950
Everybody, let's fight
so we don't die.
62
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,350
Sensible, isn't he ?
63
00:05:44,350 --> 00:05:45,550
No kidding.
64
00:05:55,460 --> 00:05:58,760
If I may say so,
that was just like you.
65
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,250
Both the fact that the commander was late for the formation ceremony, and that speech.
66
00:06:03,250 --> 00:06:06,550
I was flustered, I guess.
My mind just went blank.
67
00:06:07,570 --> 00:06:08,370
Rear Admiral Alex Cazellnu
68
00:06:08,370 --> 00:06:11,260
By the way, about
the capture of Iserlohn...
69
00:06:11,260 --> 00:06:13,260
Is there any chance of victory...
70
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:16,000
...with just half a fleet ?
71
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,880
Whether there is or
whether there isn't...
72
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,280
Hey !
Is it a secret from me ?
73
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,380
I'll just say this.
You should wait 'til later.
74
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:25,380
You'll appreciate it more.
75
00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:27,190
Fine.
76
00:06:27,190 --> 00:06:30,090
If you need any resources,
please don't hesitate to tell me.
77
00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:32,130
In negotiations,
without bribes...
78
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,590
I'm sorry !
79
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:34,830
I'm very sorry !
80
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,630
When you dishonor our uniforms,
you dishonor our military !
81
00:06:41,690 --> 00:06:45,750
Picking a fight with a
young lady is so deplorable.
82
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,850
The Rosen Ritter
"Knights of the Rose"
83
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:52,110
Who the hell are you ?!
84
00:06:52,110 --> 00:06:55,110
Walter von Schenkopp...
Colonel Walter von Schenkopp
85
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:59,010
If I said, "The Regimental
Commander of the Rosen Ritter..."
86
00:06:59,010 --> 00:07:00,530
...does that ring a bell ?
87
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,020
Be careful...
88
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:07,530
It seems you're worried
about that stain !
89
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:13,330
Bastard ! You think
you can insult us ?!
90
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:16,630
We're officers under His Excellency Truniht's direct command !
91
00:07:16,630 --> 00:07:18,230
He'll have
you court-martialed !
92
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:20,530
Oh, please,
go ahead.
93
00:07:20,530 --> 00:07:25,430
And that court-martial will also include an officer who assaulted a civilian.
94
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:27,330
What if that
was reported ?
95
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,640
Sonuva bitch !
96
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,130
You can have me for
an enemy, if you so wish.
97
00:07:37,050 --> 00:07:38,350
L...let's go.
98
00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:46,250
Whether in the Empire or the Alliance, corruption in the military is the same.
99
00:07:46,250 --> 00:07:48,160
Thank you very much !
100
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,160
Knights of the Rose, huh ?
101
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,170
As a close combat unit formed
from children of Imperial exiles...
102
00:07:56,170 --> 00:08:01,870
...they have unmatched skill in battle,
but no fleet can control them.
103
00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:07,230
You mentioned resources a
little while ago, didn't you...?
104
00:08:07,230 --> 00:08:10,630
Please supply a ship
from the Imperial Fleet.
105
00:08:10,630 --> 00:08:14,030
There should be spoils
from former battles.
106
00:08:14,030 --> 00:08:16,730
And about 200 uniforms.
107
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:17,830
And...
108
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:18,940
And...?
109
00:08:18,940 --> 00:08:21,530
Those Rosen Ritter
in our fleet.
110
00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:23,080
The Rosen Ritter ?!
111
00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:25,850
Planet Odin
112
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,550
What ?
113
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:34,150
That man is the commander of
the newly formed 13th Fleet ?
114
00:08:34,150 --> 00:08:35,150
Yes, sir.
115
00:08:35,150 --> 00:08:38,750
It's the latest report that the
Defense Ministry got from Phezzan.
116
00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:43,660
Indeed, it is being treated
as insignificant, but...
117
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:48,550
Among the stars that sparkle in space,
individual movement is insignificant.
118
00:08:49,550 --> 00:08:52,670
However, the appearance
of just one new star...
119
00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:55,550
...is a matter that will change
all the star maps of space.
120
00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:57,870
Yang Wenli...
121
00:08:57,870 --> 00:08:59,470
...are you only a planet...
122
00:08:59,470 --> 00:09:03,480
...or, are you a new
shining fixed star ?
123
00:09:04,730 --> 00:09:07,630
Then, the other
fleet commanders, eh ?
124
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:11,230
Yang, I hear your
fleet will assault Iserlohn.
125
00:09:11,230 --> 00:09:13,340
What they're saying is...
126
00:09:13,340 --> 00:09:16,840
"The baby in diapers
will kill the lion, all alone."
127
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,430
But it was probably
just drinking gossip.
128
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,540
It's pretty accurate,
isn't it ?
129
00:09:22,540 --> 00:09:23,640
Is it ?
130
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,350
If old man Bucock of the
5th Fleet says one word...
131
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:30,050
...everybody will
probably shut up.
132
00:09:30,050 --> 00:09:33,250
How about tonight ?
Don't become a target for gossip.
133
00:09:33,250 --> 00:09:34,650
Are you going to
the promotion ceremony ?
134
00:09:34,650 --> 00:09:37,360
No...sorry, Attenborough.
135
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,550
But couldn't we
do it another time ?
136
00:09:39,550 --> 00:09:42,550
There's less than a day left before the mobilization and I have no spare time at all.
137
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:43,260
Okay !
138
00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:45,360
Well, at the
next opportunity...
139
00:09:52,670 --> 00:09:54,370
It's Cazellnu.
140
00:09:54,370 --> 00:09:58,480
If you don't mind my asking, is the
Fleet Commander's chair comfortable ?
141
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,480
By the way, about the aide you requested from personnel...
142
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,980
Transferring a brilliant youngster was a
tall order, but I found one who'll suit you.
143
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:10,390
The Salutatorian graduate of the Officer's School Class of 794.
144
00:10:10,390 --> 00:10:12,890
Not exactly someone who
was below average, eh ?
145
00:10:12,890 --> 00:10:16,980
Currently on duty in Information Analysis at the Joint Operations Division.
146
00:10:16,980 --> 00:10:19,990
Chief of Staff Greenhill,
personally made the recommendation.
147
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:21,600
You'll receive
the records later.
148
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,730
Come in.
149
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:32,010
Reporting !
150
00:10:32,010 --> 00:10:34,430
I have been appointed
as your aide.
151
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:34,700
Lt Junior Grade Frederica Greenhill
152
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:36,830
Ltjg. Frederica Greenhill.
153
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:40,910
Frederica Greenhill ?
154
00:10:40,910 --> 00:10:42,020
It can't be...
155
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:43,720
Admiral Greenhill's...
156
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,820
Yes, sir.
157
00:10:44,820 --> 00:10:47,920
I've heard all about
you from my father.
158
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,220
That damned Cazellnu.
He set me up.
159
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,820
N...no...
160
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:52,830
Well, I'm at a loss.
161
00:10:52,830 --> 00:10:54,230
At any rate...
162
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:56,030
...pleased to meet you, I guess.
163
00:11:03,730 --> 00:11:07,440
Space year 796, April 27th.
164
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,440
The Free Planets' 13th Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Yang Wenli...
165
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,570
...started on its journey to capture the Empire's Iserlohn Fortress.
166
00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:26,860
Your Excellency, you're
also taking risks, right ?
167
00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:30,160
If he fails, will you
be forced to resign ?
168
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,530
As things stand, I suppose I'll be
forced to retire at the next election.
Fleet Admiral Sidney Sitolet
169
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,070
There was also the
previous defeat at Astate.
170
00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:40,870
If that happens...
171
00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:43,670
Mr. Truniht's influence will increase.
172
00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:46,470
Therefore, you're going to
count on Rear Admiral Yang ?
173
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:46,770
Admiral Dwight Greenhill
174
00:11:46,770 --> 00:11:48,850
You seem pretty confident.
175
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,300
And you aren't ?
176
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:59,950
13th Fleet Flagship Hyperion
177
00:12:14,250 --> 00:12:17,380
Admiral, all ships are
prepared for launch.
178
00:12:18,850 --> 00:12:21,080
13th Fleet, set sail.
179
00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:34,570
Although this dispatch
is being called a drill...
180
00:12:34,570 --> 00:12:38,170
...we're approaching the Volhan Star System near Iserlohn Fortress...
181
00:12:38,170 --> 00:12:41,670
Put plainly, we're
approaching Iserlohn.
182
00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:45,080
Yes, it's a full two weeks'
journey to the corridor.
183
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,680
Commodore Fischer, I'll leave this situation up to you.
184
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:54,180
Then, they say the Admiral himself wanders alone through the streets of Heinessenpolis.
185
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:59,590
And he's leaving everything to old man Fischer, who's famous for fleet deployment.
186
00:13:00,630 --> 00:13:02,780
Can we count on him ?
187
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,700
...and this is the plan
that I've been considering.
188
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:22,310
It's impossible to take out Iserlohn Fortress just from the outside.
189
00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:26,010
By infiltrating inside, we'll certainly end up controlling its nerve center.
190
00:13:26,010 --> 00:13:28,520
Infiltration ?
191
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:29,820
Admiral Yang...
Fyodor Patorichev
192
00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:34,710
...if we do, will we give that crucial task to this Rosen Ritter leader ?
193
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:36,520
Oh...yeah.
194
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,630
It's a solid fortress.
Commodore Edwin Fischer
195
00:13:39,630 --> 00:13:42,130
If the Imperials aren't careful,
there's a large chance of success.
196
00:13:42,130 --> 00:13:42,930
However...
197
00:13:42,930 --> 00:13:47,030
Don't you know the rumors
about the Rosen Ritter ?
Murai
198
00:13:47,530 --> 00:13:49,730
I've had them investigated.
199
00:13:49,730 --> 00:13:52,130
Twelve previous
regimental commanders...
200
00:13:52,130 --> 00:13:56,040
Of those, four have died
in battle against the Empire.
201
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,130
Two were promoted to flag officers, and afterwards retired.
202
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:04,250
And the remaining six betrayed us and ran back to the Empire.
203
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:10,580
In this dispatch, rumors are flying that the 13th Regimental Commander may also turn traitor.
204
00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:17,560
Admiral, if, as the rumors say,
I'm the 7th traitor, what'll you do ?
205
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:18,460
I'll be in a fix.
206
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:21,160
That's a problem, I suppose.
207
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,170
If so, you'll be in plenty
of trouble, won't you ?
208
00:14:23,170 --> 00:14:26,570
You're thinking I have
some trick, I suppose ?
209
00:14:26,570 --> 00:14:28,270
I'm not really
thinking anything.
210
00:14:28,270 --> 00:14:31,770
Then you'll trust me completely ?
211
00:14:31,770 --> 00:14:32,750
Yes.
212
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,580
I want to hear why you
believe in me that much.
213
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:45,080
The other day, I was there when you
clashed with some of Truniht's officers.
214
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,790
You wouldn't treat them to
even one glass of champagne.
215
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:50,190
That's why.
216
00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:51,990
That's the only reason ?!
217
00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:52,590
Unbelievable !
218
00:14:52,590 --> 00:14:54,490
This is an important mission.
219
00:14:54,490 --> 00:14:58,090
If he turns traitor, they'll say I was no judge of character.
220
00:14:58,090 --> 00:15:01,000
The "one man hero" will
disappear from this world.
221
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,200
Admiral !
222
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,400
The Admiral has left all
fleet deployments to me.
223
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,610
This time, it's our turn
to trust the Admiral.
224
00:15:10,610 --> 00:15:11,650
Thank you.
225
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,310
May I ask
a question ?
226
00:15:15,310 --> 00:15:16,310
Go ahead.
227
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:21,710
I want to know; what's your
objective in this battle ?
228
00:15:21,710 --> 00:15:23,120
Is it glory ?
229
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,820
Or is it promotion ?
230
00:15:24,820 --> 00:15:27,420
No, I don't think
it's promotion.
231
00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:31,030
To be called "Your Excellency" before the age of 30 is enough.
232
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:35,930
Moreover, if I'm still alive after this battle, I intend to retire.
233
00:15:35,930 --> 00:15:37,030
Retire ?!
234
00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:38,130
Yes.
235
00:15:38,130 --> 00:15:41,740
Well, along with the pension, I'll also get a retirement disbursement.
236
00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:47,740
Although one person will be eating
frugally with me, costing some money.
237
00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:51,040
Are you saying you'll retire under the present circumstances ?!
238
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,340
You say
"these circumstances."
239
00:15:53,340 --> 00:15:55,640
But if we succeed in
capturing Iserlohn Fortress...
240
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,340
...our Alliance can gain
a strategic advantage.
241
00:15:58,340 --> 00:16:04,060
Then it may be possible to conclude a satisfactory peace treaty with the Empire.
242
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:09,280
If so, I'll be at liberty to retire
because there will be peace.
243
00:16:09,850 --> 00:16:13,870
However, will that peace
become a permanent matter ?
244
00:16:13,870 --> 00:16:18,170
There has never been "permanent peace" in human history.
245
00:16:18,170 --> 00:16:22,770
But there have been plenty of ages with decades of peace.
246
00:16:22,770 --> 00:16:28,480
In short, my hope is, haughtily enough,
for a few decades of peace in the future.
247
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,580
But the chance they will exceed the length of the war by more than a tenth are very slim.
248
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,690
There's a 14 year old
boy in my house.
249
00:16:38,690 --> 00:16:41,780
I don't want to see him
dragged off to battle.
250
00:16:43,290 --> 00:16:44,590
That's all.
251
00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:47,900
I've been hearing that you're a different sort of person.
252
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:51,300
This may be rude, Admiral.
But are you an honest man ?
253
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:55,580
Or are you the greatest sophist since Rudolf the Great ? Which are you ?
254
00:16:56,900 --> 00:17:00,110
Well, I didn't
expect an answer.
255
00:17:00,110 --> 00:17:03,510
Now that the time has come.
I'll do what I can.
256
00:17:03,510 --> 00:17:06,580
For the sake of
a permanent peace.
257
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,520
Here you are.
It's got brandy in it.
258
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,130
Oh, thanks.
259
00:17:21,130 --> 00:17:24,930
Lieutenant, what do you think of it ? This operation, I mean.
260
00:17:24,930 --> 00:17:27,580
It'll definitely succeed.
261
00:17:28,030 --> 00:17:30,130
Why so sure ?
262
00:17:30,130 --> 00:17:34,540
Eight years ago, you succeeded at El Facil, didn't you ?
263
00:17:34,540 --> 00:17:40,040
You evacuated 3 million civilians from El Facil just before it surrendered.
264
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,780
The young hero,
Ltjg. Yang Wenli.
265
00:17:42,750 --> 00:17:44,950
So, you've heard
that story, too.
266
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:52,580
You succeeded in planting absolute
trust in one girl's heart at that time.
267
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,160
Planet El Facil
268
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,230
I was on El Facil with my mother.
269
00:18:05,230 --> 00:18:07,080
Her family's home was there.
270
00:18:07,870 --> 00:18:10,570
I clearly remember a young
Lieutenant taking command...
271
00:18:10,570 --> 00:18:15,470
...gnawing a sandwich, because he didn't have spare time to eat.
272
00:18:15,470 --> 00:18:21,880
But I suppose that Lieutenant long ago forgot about the 14 year old girl...
273
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,180
...who brought you coffee in a paper cup when you choked on that sandwich.
274
00:18:26,180 --> 00:18:31,790
Maybe you remember what you said after your life was saved by that coffee...?
275
00:18:35,390 --> 00:18:37,590
What did I say ?
276
00:18:37,590 --> 00:18:41,280
"I hate coffee.
I wish you'd given me tea."
277
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,920
That was rude of me.
278
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:48,480
Indeed, she has an incredible
memory, just like the rumors say.
279
00:18:49,310 --> 00:18:51,910
On May 13th...
280
00:18:51,910 --> 00:18:57,000
...the Alliance's 13th Fleet
rushed into the Iserlohn Corridor.
281
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,420
There's no longer
room for doubt !
282
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:09,220
This communications jamming is proof that the rebels are approaching.
283
00:19:09,220 --> 00:19:11,930
Therefore, aren't you
saying, Admiral Seekt...
284
00:19:11,930 --> 00:19:15,930
...that we can't even determine the enemy's position by launching ?
285
00:19:15,930 --> 00:19:18,230
Your Excellency, I'm receiving
a strange transmission.
286
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:19,730
What is it ?
287
00:19:19,730 --> 00:19:20,730
Sir.
288
00:19:20,730 --> 00:19:22,640
A light patrol ship dispatched
from the Capital Planet Odin...
289
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,820
...is under enemy attack and
is presently engaged in combat.
290
00:19:26,820 --> 00:19:28,120
They request assistance.
291
00:19:28,690 --> 00:19:31,830
We'll launch immediately.
We can't delay even an instant.
292
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:33,730
Your Excellency, please wait.
293
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,400
Captain Oberstein, is it ?
What is it ?
294
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,600
Shouldn't we
be cautious ?
295
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:41,510
What ?!
296
00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:41,600
Captain Paul von Oberstein
297
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,510
It appears to be an enemy diversion.
298
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:47,030
Shouldn't we observe the situation a little longer before moving ?
299
00:19:47,610 --> 00:19:51,710
If we go out, the enemy is waiting.
Are you saying that we'd lose if we fought ?!
300
00:19:51,710 --> 00:19:53,210
It's not that, but...
301
00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:54,810
Then what ?!
302
00:19:54,810 --> 00:19:57,920
We're soldiers !
It's our duty to fight !
303
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,120
Furthermore, what good are we if we can't help an ally who's in trouble ?!
304
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:03,220
In any case, Admiral Seeckt...
305
00:20:03,220 --> 00:20:05,520
...there's some truth in what
your staff officer says.
306
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,130
Without knowing whether it's an enemy or an ally, if we wait a little longer...
307
00:20:10,130 --> 00:20:12,230
I'm the Fleet Commander !
308
00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:13,430
I'll decide !
309
00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:15,830
All ships !
Launch at once !
310
00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:30,350
I hope you have a miserable time getting back here.
311
00:20:33,650 --> 00:20:37,750
In the end, they ran out of patience and came out, didn't they ?
312
00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:40,060
Number of ships,
approximately 15,000 !
313
00:20:40,060 --> 00:20:43,260
My guess is that's about all of the ships in the fortress' fleet.
314
00:20:43,260 --> 00:20:48,060
The enemy, not knowing our strength, will send out the greatest force they have...
315
00:20:48,060 --> 00:20:50,730
...as a means to contain the
front line of the battle.
316
00:20:51,970 --> 00:20:54,470
Admiral, preparations
are complete.
317
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:56,860
We can launch at
any time you order.
318
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,400
Oh, my. It seems it's not just the enemy who's impatient, eh ?
319
00:21:04,580 --> 00:21:08,030
Your Excellency, there's been
another message from the patrol.
320
00:21:09,180 --> 00:21:11,180
Those who have fought
to reach the fortress...
321
00:21:11,180 --> 00:21:13,090
...are currently being pursued
and attacked by the rebel fleet.
322
00:21:13,090 --> 00:21:14,690
They beg for assistance...
323
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:17,090
What happened to
the fortress fleet ?
324
00:21:17,090 --> 00:21:19,190
Communications have ceased.
325
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:21,990
Damn you, Seeckt.
Where are you lurking ?
326
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:23,130
Prepare to open fire !
327
00:21:23,790 --> 00:21:26,090
Because we have allies out there, we can't use the main gun.
328
00:21:26,090 --> 00:21:27,000
Yes, sir !
329
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,500
To all air
defense personnel:
330
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:30,500
All gun turrets,
prepare to open fire !
331
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,300
All gun turrets,
prepare to open fire !
332
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:33,550
Raise the floating
gun platforms !
333
00:21:40,210 --> 00:21:40,910
Your Excellency...
334
00:21:40,910 --> 00:21:44,710
...outside the orbit of Planet Anshal, the fourth planet in the Tiamat system ahead...
335
00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:47,320
...there's a signal
like an enemy fleet.
336
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,420
Found them...
337
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:49,620
Good.
338
00:21:49,620 --> 00:21:50,850
Approach at once.
339
00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:54,620
Fleet image confirmed !
340
00:21:54,620 --> 00:21:56,020
Maximum magnification.
341
00:21:58,730 --> 00:22:04,930
It's one of our patrol ships, the Bremen.
The rebel fleet is visible behind it.
342
00:22:04,930 --> 00:22:05,930
Open fire !
343
00:22:05,930 --> 00:22:09,240
Wait ! Make the situation
clear to each gun turret !
344
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,440
Don't hit our allies !
345
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,920
Yes, sir !
346
00:22:29,450 --> 00:22:32,030
The rebel fleet isn't
coming into firing range.
347
00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:37,210
They're retreating.
348
00:22:37,910 --> 00:22:43,120
The bastards know all too well the power of this fortress from their last six defeats.
349
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:44,820
A message from the patrol.
350
00:22:44,820 --> 00:22:45,820
Read it.
351
00:22:45,820 --> 00:22:48,020
Yes, sir.
"Thank you for your assistance."
352
00:22:48,020 --> 00:22:52,620
"Because of serious damage, request urgent port entry."
353
00:22:52,620 --> 00:22:55,180
Very well.
Guide them to port.
354
00:23:04,730 --> 00:23:06,840
At any rate, they've
gotten in, haven't they ?
355
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,840
The real work
starts now.
356
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,680
He'll do it.
If he's a Knight of the Rose.
357
00:23:15,650 --> 00:23:19,350
Iserlohn Fortress is situated
between the Empire and the Alliance.
358
00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:22,050
It is the Empire's
key strategic point.
359
00:23:22,050 --> 00:23:26,660
The last six times the Alliance
tried to capture it with large forces.
360
00:23:26,660 --> 00:23:28,960
All of those attempts
ended in complete failure.
361
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,760
Now, with scarcely half the forces,
they must capture Iserlohn Fortress.
362
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,180
Yang's plan has begun.
363
00:23:42,610 --> 00:23:47,370
To be continued in the next chapter.
