Original subtitles

Was the chronicler who said

that the land of honesty

is blessed in the light of the mother Crystals,

and that it was this light

which finally led our forebears out of the darkness.

Yet what they saw in the light

gave rise to temptation, the

temptation

that ever lures us back into the crystal shadow.

And did our journey begin?

It'll be light soon.

Both camps have begun to stir.

You all know the target.

Shiva’s dominant

and only the dominant.

No one else

was a front in that.

How do we even know the girl will be among them?

Our kind do not question orders.

We follow them.

Try to keep that in mind.

Let's get this done.

Focus, Wyvern

You are key to this mission’s success

Yes, Sergeant,

I said.

Focus Wyvern

We don't have time forthis

All hell is about to break loose.

Damn it. Time to move.

We’re just in time

These Ironblood are more beast than man

The way this is going

they won’t need this new Dominant of theirs

What,

To the gates! Quickly! Move

What do you mean, you refuse?

Did you not pledge your swords to our cause!?

Come now,

Marshal.

The King of Waloed is our guest.

And you have His Majesty's answer.

I wonder that you summoned us at all.

Have you so little faith in your own men?

It was the Dhalmeks who drove back the Crusaders

in the Battle of the Twin Realms.

Was it not?

Or am I mistaken?

Besides,

your dominant.

Has yet to take the field.

And when he does,

our knights would only get in the way.

Perhaps you have not heard, but

the Ironblood now have their own dominant.

We would be fools to underestimate them.

Bugger their knights.

What did you say?

Should the Citadel be allowed to fall

The capital will be exposed.

And I doubt the Crusaders will wait for the good

king's pawns to line up before taking to the board.

Which just leaves me.

Kupka!

The ıronblood will rue the day

they set foot on Storm.

This game is over,

you cock.

Benedikta.

Take care.

Does the lion take care when he chases the hare?

What do you think? Me? One of the latter.

No, my love.

You are a lion.

You're my lion.

Mm hmm.

I'm not afraid of a little frost, Doctor.

But I will need someone to warn me

when I come home.

Mm hmm.

The front lines are gone.

This is our chance.

The chaos will conceal us.

And?

Quick and deadly? As always

Take the van.

Wait.

Something's not right.

Titan.

So the Dhalmeks finally got tired of being slaughtered.

And look who's here to greet the bastard.

Come on.

You don't get to die here. Wyvern! Move!

She’s right on top of us...

Any time Wyvern.

I told you before.

You do not get to die here.

Clive.

Get up, Clive!

Do you yield?

Well, if you're not cut out

to be a shield, there's always work for you in the stables.

Unless, of course, you think you can defend your master

while sitting on your ass in a puddle of pigswill.

I'm sure he'd find a way.

My brother always looks after me.

He's right.

Go on. You're sure to hit him? Eventually.

Don't give up now

To arms. Then

it wouldn't do to disappoint the gallery.

Let's start again from the beginning.

Come.

Show me your form.

Once more, please.

Good.

Very good.

Such swordsmanship will serve you well in the field.

But can the same be said of your spell craft?

The flames of the Phoenix burn within you.

Now let them burn without

Come, Clive.

Bring fire down upon me.

Good,

good,

good,

good.

Excellent.

Well done.

You wield the Firebird’s flames just as a first shield shold.

You flatter me? My Lord,

would you rather I flattened you?

It can be arranged.

Let's see if you can allude to my blade.

After all,

your attacking prowess will count for naught

if you don't live long enough to use it

on your toes.

Lord Rosfield

don't simply watch my movements.

Read them.

Come on. Oh.

How did you dodge that?

Oh, sure.

I had you.

Good.

Remember, Clive?

Your blade is not your only weapon.

Quickness of thought and fleet of foot are indispensable arms in any shields.

Arsenal.

But you are not just any shield, are you?

Show me what sets you apart from the rest.

You have been blessed by the Phoenix.

Granted the use of its power.

Call upon that power now to close on.

Well, I'm waiting.

Oh, good.

Impressive.

But even the most agile shields cannot hope to escape.

Every blow

and death may come by a handful of cuts as easily as it comes by a thousand.

There is only

one way to ensure that you do not fall.

Keep your wounds mended and your energies

replenished.

Speaking of which, my Lord,

you seem a little worse for wear.

Now, that won't do at all.

All right.

That has to be for now.

That's better.

The battle is a succession of pivotal moments.

Where in life and death can be decided at a single stroke.

You must be ready to utilize every tool at your disposal

if you are to navigate a path to victory.

Or at the very least, to ensure

that you live to fight another day.

Enough practice.

It's time for the test.

You've recovered from your soaking, I trust.

Just wouldn't want to kick a man when he's drowned.

I thought you'd never ask.

Come, then.

Now, Lord Rosfield.Spar with me.

If you believe yourself worthy to be called shield of the flame.

Then prove it.

As you wish, my Lord.

Have at me, boy!

Make proof of your strength.

Go on.

You’re sure this time you can do it Clive!

Just stay calm!

You’re taking this seriously.

It's time I took my own advice

and used all the tools at my disposal.

Go on Clive! Keep pressing!

Just a little more! We believe in you.

I told you you could do it.

I bested it last.

It's taken me long enough.

That was a display worthy of your father.

You are a true shield of the flame

and let no one tell you otherwise.

Including me.

What are you lot gawping at?

Back to your drills!

Joshua.

Oh, I was just tired.

Phoenix's flames are a gift.

You mustn't waste them.

It isn't a waste.

My shields look after me.

Why shouldn't I?

That's why

you were coughing this morning, too.

You shouldn't be outdoors.

Besides, it's just too cold.

Don't push yourself.

His grace has returned.

Father's back.

Your Grace, please.

This is no place for one such as you.

I would gladly brave hell itself

to see my darling boy.

Gentlemen,

Rosaria, thanks you for your indefatigable loyalty.

Thank you. Your Grace.

We live to serve.

Joshua,

you should not be out of doors.

We have discussed this.

I'm sorry.

Good day to you. Mother

Come, Joshua.

Your father will be expecting us. Hmm.

Lord Murdoch,

Your Grace.
