Bend the knee to us.

Swear fealty to our banner.

And not only will you be saving your life and the lives of your family,

you'll be helping to unify the central Metallian continent and bring an end to

a world in which humans are always at war, fighting each other over territory.

The tragedy that's befallen this town is just part of the pain we must go through

to create a new world.

A peaceful world.

And... And what if I refuse to swear fealty to you?

I thought it was clear.

You lose everything.

Family, fortune, territory.

In the same way that Metallicana Castle was wiped from the face of the earth two

years ago.

Not even Dark Schneider, the legendary Wizard of Flames, was able to stop us.

Wizard of Flames?

Come to your senses.

90% of the great cities of Metallicana have already pledged themselves to us.

I invite you to do the same.

Join us.

Help us to create a new world without war.

Join us in serving our master, the High King, Lord Kossu.

How despicable.

How despicable!

Oh, this wretched seal!

Once I'm released from it and have emerged from the earth, I will crush

them all like the insects they are.

You must hurry, Kossu.

Release the last... seal as quickly as you can.

You must awaken me, Anthrax, the god of destruction,

before others do.

It grows I feel his magic in these cold winds, even though he's far

away in the kingdom of Judas.

We have searched high and low, and still, we have found no clue.

Time grew short.

Soon will come that day of reawakening mentioned in the ancient texts.

We must find the lap field that vanished along with Metallicana Castle.

And it will be found.

I... Ingve von Monstrum, the Sorcerer Shogun, do swear it on my honor.

Lord Ingve!

A detachment of armed rebels got past our sentries and is attacking our food

stores. It's not rebels.

It's merely some starving locals.

Well, then deal with them.

Put them all in the ground if you must.

But, my lord, they're being led by samurai from Aion Maeda.

Survivors. By what?

Samurai?

Stop as much of the townspeople's food as we can.

Before that sorcerer can send reinforcements.

Goddamn orcs. You think we're going to stand here and let you trample us like

you did the rest of these humans?

Take a guess.

How was that?

Great. But don't damage the storehouse by it.

Like I would do that.

Humans are good.

Really good.

Not only is their swordsmanship top-notch, they can even cast spells

like a wizard.

Where have they been keeping these guys?

I can't believe we were able to conquer this kingdom if they've got fighters

like this.

Now, Darchan, let's go and get your food back.

Yes, he's right.

Now that we have these brave samurai here to hold off the enemy, let us show

these barbarians that we're done letting them steal our harvest from us. To the

storehouse!

Look at it. All the food we paid in tribute.

It's all here.

Heaven be blessed.

Now our children won't go hungry this winter.

Everyone, grab as much as you can. The days of our children starving are over.

Oh, really?

So your children are starving, are they?

How very unfortunate.

However, that is no excuse for breaking the High King's law.

You've committed a grave crime here.

And as I serve the High King, it is one of my duties to see that such crimes are

punished.

That scream!

The storehouse!

But how did he? It's impossible.

Quick, follow me!

Right.

That Moriah, huh?

Wasn't enough to starve them to death?

Sorcerer Shogun, I'm going to carve you into little pieces for that!

You're dead, you bastard!

Wait, wait!

Let go of me! Let go! So you're here alone, Sorcerer Shogun?

Isn't that a bit rash?

Where are your underlings?

Or do you really mean to take us on all by yourself?

Even I'm not as sure of myself as that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always understood that it was against the

samurai code to fight with many against one.

Yes, you're quite right.

We call it the way of the samurai.

Well, it's a foolish custom, but one that is very pure and noble in spirit.

In fact, I rather admire you for it.

Why do you waste your talents roaming the world as masterless samurai when you

could be knights in service to the high king?

A samurai cannot serve two masters at once.

Is that part of your samurai way?

Yes, it is.

And I'll tell you another part of it. The way of the samurai requires us to

avenge our master's death, even at the cost of our own lives.

It's called loyalty.

Sorcerer Shogun!

My loyalty demands that one of us die here today.

You may declare your name.

Samurai Master.

Joshua Balera.

Ah, you're a master, are you?

Good, then I won't have to go easy on you.

Sorcerer Shogun, your days of pillaging are over. How absurd.

You're the only ones who are pillaging around here.

Fighting to take back what was stolen from our people. That is also part of

loyalty.

These supplies belong to the High King's army now.

Look! The Sorcerer Shogun's armor has been damaged.

Bravo, Joshua.

See that?

That's the true power of a samurai.

Well done, samurai.

You were able to dodge my sword well enough to avoid a fatal blow.

That's impossible!

Not for the sorcerer Shogun, known as Yngve von Mottstrom.

I've seen you somewhere before, haven't I?

Of course, I know you. Shut up.

You were Zeon. Silent!

Never mind him, sorcerer. I'm your opponent.

I'm aware of that.

Then get ready. Wait, Joshua.

A battle between fighters with your abilities can only end in you both

killing each other.

Stay out of this.

Wait, are you... You're Kai Horn.

Even if you defeat him before dying, he's only one sorcerer shogun, and the

samurai of Ayan Maeda will need their samurai master for the battles to come.

I suggest you let me take care of this one.

Akai.

Well, well, well.

So the rumors are true, then. I'd heard the samurai of Aion Maeda had a woman

among their leaders.

And not just any woman.

No, far from it. To think they would serve alongside one of the three

sorcerer generals, their former enemy. It's incredible.

Not when you consider who made it happen.

And who was that?

Who could have made these samurai accept a mortal foe with a comrade in arm?

There's no need for you to know. You're going to die anyway.

Am I? Are you sure of that?

You're not gonna... Yeah.

I'll let her handle it.

Don't dare underestimate her.

She'll pull it off.

The cold winds stirred up by Kalsu's magic killed our crops, our livestock

disappeared, the children went hungry, and the adults were sent away on forced

labor.

Every town, village, and hamlet has changed a lot over the last two years.

Filthy orcs and goblins walk the streets in broad daylight, doing whatever they

want, brutalizing innocent people.

Is this the ideal world that you and Kalsu talk about?

Is this the world you expected the three sorcerer generals to fight for?

Well, is it? Because something's terribly wrong with it. Doesn't Kalsu

see that?

With transformation comes pain.

Beyond that pain is where Utopia lies.

This isn't pain. It's slaughter.

What's Utopian about that? You're insane.

You and Kalsu.

You're slinging insults at me, I can forgive.

However... I can never forgive one who insults the High King!

Yajo Teyoken!

So fast.

Did you see that?

Did you see that strike? I didn't see anything, except a flash.

Kai! Get away!

You managed to deflect one of my supersonic strikes.

This time, however, you will not be so lucky.

Yajo!

What have you done?

She got him with a petrification spell.

Brilliant move.

This is high ancient magic.

Don't you know that the three sorcerer generals have even more powerful magic

than the samurai?

Put your weapon away. Open your eyes, will you?

When will you finally realize that the master you serve is evil?

Save your breath, traitor.

I'll never forgive you for insulting Katsu.

It's clear you've lived too long with the enemy.

It ruined you.

First it defiled your body, then he stole your heart.

Wait,

so does that mean he defiled your body?

No, he can't be.

Is it true, Kai?

Did he...

No one defiled my body or stole my heart!

A dirty lie!

What?

He's broken free from our spell!

This fight is over!

Huh?

That barrier!

Hold on. This kind of advanced level defense spell can be cast only by a

cleric.

This is far more advanced than the mid-level wizard spells samurai are

capable of.

That must mean one of them is a high priest.

But which one?

Who is it?

It's Yoko.

Yoko?

Yoko?

Yoko.

No way.

Yoko is here?

But that's not... that's not possible.

Why did you have to butt in? I had it under control.

Kai, don't be a sore loser.

The enemy's main army's approaching.

Time to retreat.

We need to pull out of here before anyone else gets hurt.

Yoko.

Tienoto Yoko.

Daughter of the great priest of Metallicana.

But it's always been thought she died when Metallicana Castle disappeared.

Can it really be her?

How is it possible she survived that explosion?

But never mind that.

How is it possible that she, that anyone, could be so

beautiful?

The enemy forces are almost here!

Retreat!

And you civilians!

You should come with us, too. You'll be safer.

And don't go empty-handed.

Carry as much of the food as you can.

Wait. Who's behind it?

Your leader. Just who are they? You spoke before of the one who made it

happen.

You might want to be more careful.

That barrier is self-protecting, and it doesn't take too kindly to being poked

and prodded by anyone.

Even a sorcerer shogun.

So glad you could make it. But as of right now, these people and their food

are our main concern. So let's get out of here.

We'll meet again. Don't you worry about that.

We'll finish this fight then.

Right. But don't try running away.

This isn't over.

Tell your master we're gonna fight him to the end. And if I'm the last one left

standing, I'm going to do whatever I need to stop him.

Tia Noto, Yoko.

The only daughter of Gio Noto Soto.

One of the five knights who defeated Dark Schneider in the Golem War.

You're really something, Yoko.

You're kind of sticking out down there.

I'm starting to stick out too.

She's a lot different than I thought she'd be after hearing Sean talk about

her. I thought she'd be more...

headstrong and impulsive.

We will stop Kul Su from achieving his goal, no matter what.

First, Kai hit him with Talos.

And just when he'd finally gotten out of that, Yoko showed up and threw a barrier

around him. Stopped that sorcerer Shogun cold. It was hilarious!

If you could have seen the look on the guy's face!

You saw it, Shen. Kai and Yoko were amazing, right?

Yes, indeed.

Remarkable women, both of them.

Yoko's powers in particular are quite extraordinary.

She can hold her own against Kai Harn's magic and swordsmanship, despite all of

Kai's training as one of the three Sorcerer Generals.

Man, those clerics and their defense spells are pretty incredible, aren't

they?

Yeah.

To say nothing of their healing spell.

Just one of them is more effective than a hundred medics.

I guess we can all agree, she's quite indispensable to us now.

Sure she is. She's really hot too.

I'll grow up.

I've seen you somewhere before, haven't I?

Of course, I know that. Shut up.

You were Zeon.

Murray, I will avenge you. I swear it.

What is it, Edgar?

Something wrong?

Typical. He's always so quiet.

So, she sealed the sorcerer Shogun in a barrier.

Yes. It would seem that she can now cast spells at the level of a high priest.

The progress she made over the last two years is impressive.

She used her time here well.

Indeed.

Her powers have increased much more rapidly than I expected.

Her strength of purpose, her stubborn determination to fight, has brought

about a spiritual upheaval within her.

And awaken the natural gifts that she has always possessed.

Her determination to fight.

But this is only the beginning.

For destiny has given Yoko a far more important mission. As I suspect you

already know.

Yes.

Kalsu's army is strong.

And the tide of battle has turned against us. Yet.

We must still fight on regardless.

To avenge our fallen lord and master, King Harris.

We samurai must avenge our master's death, even at the cost of our lives.

That's right.

To fulfill our oath of loyalty.

We must do it to restore the peace in the world which is slipping away. We

must do it, whatever the cost, whatever the odds. It is our duty to carry on the

fight no matter how hopeless it may be.

It is our destiny.

And it was destiny as well that brought that girl to us two years ago, with a

boy in her arms and covered in blood.

An intruder this late at night?

Very odd. This is a secret village.

Who would even know where to find it? Good question.

Maybe it's a scout from the Dark Rebel Army.

Help me, please!

You're Sarah, right?

this is destiny intervening once more.

Father, Princess Sheila, Gaara, everyone.

If you're still alive somewhere, me and Kai, we're

both safe now.

But, of course you're alive.

Yoko taking a shower.

These are the times when I'm glad I worked on my ninja skills.

Who?

Someone's out there.

Vi again?

Come on, when will you grow up?

Okay, Vi, that does it.

Hi there, Yoko.

It's you, Lucian!

You've got to stop this. Being a Peeping Tom is not part of the Samurai Wayvine.

Yeah, okay, okay.

Yay! I knew I'd find you!

It's been two years.

No matter how many times I performed the ritual for breaking the seal, I could

never release Dark Schneider's seal.

I'll be the one who protects you, Lucian.

No matter what, I'll protect you.
