Iserlohn Fortress is a
man-made satellite...

situated between the Empire
and the Alliance.

It has an orbiting
radius of 60km.

It's made up of several
thousand layers.

It's a base that can accommodate
up to 20, 000 ships.

It's also a base for
string weapons.

Iserlohn is also a big city
of 5 million people,

of which 3 million are
ordinary citizens.

There's also a factory to
supply oxygen and plants.

There're hydroponics farms and
food factories that are all self-sufficient.

It has everything a big city
needs: hospitals,

entertainment centres,
shops and restaurants.

The Commander of
lserlohn Fortress,

is the youngest in the history
of the Alliance, Yang.

Thanks.

What are you thinking?

There's nothing to say.

I feel that men will become
greedy if they only think about winning.

As soldiers...

We only kill enemies
and our people...

And cheating others just
to succeed in life.

I think this is meaningless.

Commander.

I've nothing to say if you
want to become a soldier.

Listen to me, Julian.

The army is just a tool.

It's better without it.

You must bear this in mind.

You must turn them into a tool
incapable of destruction.

Yes.

I've always thought...

everything had gone hay-wire
since the war 9 years ago.

Everyone just wants to succeed.

Human relations have
become more complex.

You mean El Facile.

You were at El Facile too, right?
Lieutenant Frederica.

Thinking back now,

I was so young at that time.

I was not as bad as those
people at that time.

The Empire's army was closing in
on us but the Commander then,

I think it was Arthur Lynch.

But they just escaped
on their own.

They left the helpless people
and new officials.

And caused some to become
drunkards and despondent.

Some rioted while others
got into fights.

The calmest of them all
is Commander Yang.

Those new officials...

are they still the same?

Yes. This hasn't changed.

I thought of something.

In that war,

Commander Yang became
a hero at that time.

It was probably his fortune.

Maybe, you're right.

At that time,
Commander Yang hoped...

How can this be?

At this rate, Commander Yang will
become the slave of the Empire,

and be captured.

Really? A stubborn man like him,

could have died on the streets.

Thank goodness it
wasn't like this.

Commander Yang may
not have changed.

But a little tiny thing...

... can change a person's life.

You're right.

Even Arthur Lynch...

had good critics.

Are you familiar with him?

He seems to be
my father's junior.

He came to my
house several times.

He was finally caught
by the Empire Army.

I wasn't trying to abandon them.

It'll be troublesome to
bring the people around.

I thought of this and
that's why I left alone.

As long as we can
escape to find help,

we can get El Facile back.

Commander Yang made a big
issue of our escapade.

I think he's just trying
to sacrifice us to escape.

To think he called himself
the Hero of El Facile?

A powerless man like him
could become an Admiral.

What an idiot.

He's now prosperous.

Yet I became a shameless traitor.

I was despised in the
detention centre.

And my family was stripped
of their nationality.

Maybe my decision was wrong.

Do they have to force me?

Do they have to torture me?

There are people who are
more ruthless than me,

and who are more despicable.

It's too good to call him a hero.

Heroes also succeed at
the expense of others.

Who dares to say I'm
more despicable than them?

What do you think?

Is he more suitable?

Who are you?

My name is Reinhard
von Lohengramm.

So it's you, the young hero
of the Empire Army.

You're so young.

Have you heard of the El Facile
War? I wonder how long it's been?

You were still young.

I was still a
small official then.

Arthur Lynch, listen to me.

I'm going to give you a mission
now and you'd better do it well.

If you succeed, I'll make you
the Admiral of the army.

Admiral?

Me, the Admiral? Not bad.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to return
to the Alliance,

and cause a change in politics.

No, I can't do this.

Are you drunk?

There's nothing that
can't be done.

Here's a proposal.

You just do what's written on it.

But I'll lose my life if I fail.

They'll kill me.

If so, you shall die.

Do you think your life
is worth anything now?

You're a shameless traitor.

You're so shameless that
you abandoned the people.

You ran away from your own men.

No one will pity you now.

Do you still treasure
your life now?

All right.

I've no way to redeem my sins.

I might as well as be a traitor.

You promised me you'd promote me.
You won't lie, right?

Marshal,

I don't think
Admiral Kircheis is...

interested in this plan.

There's no such thing.

Pardon me for being frank.

Some assignments are
not suitable for Kircheis.

There isn't a need to have
another Assistant Commander in the ship.

I know you're good friends.

He was suddenly promoted.

Please think of the feelings of
Lohengramm and Mittermeier.

You worry too much, Oberstein.

I've decided.

I want to checkmate you.

Since when... you...

Sorry to disturb you.

What is it? I'm busy now.

The Empire Army has
sent someone here.

He said he has something very
important to tell the Commander.

Is it so? So fast?

I'll be there.

I'll leave first.

Don't forget your gun.

No need for it.

Commander.

You want to go empty-handed?

Julian, if I brought the gun,

if I open fire,
do you think I'll hit them?

No.

If so,
why should I bring the gun?

Oh.

I heard you're learning
from Schenkopp?

Yes.

Schenkopp praises me as
a very talented man too.

He's very reliable.

You can enlist his help
if necessary, Julian.

I'll request him to protect me.

You little idiot.

They said they were under the
command of Lohengramm...

and requested to exchange
2 million prisoners.

Why must they
exchange prisoners now?

Shouldn't we exchange prisoners
in better times?

This is fishy.

I think it is for the coronation
of the new King, Erwin.

To show off their power.

I see.

I think it's just
a reason on the surface.

They must have another motive.

What do you mean?

Lohengramm has decided

to resist the aristocrats.

So as not meddle with
national affairs,

it's best to make this
exchange an aim of theirs.

You are saying...

They might be make use of
this to send spies,

and cause us to disintegrate.

What did you say?

This kind of thing...

We can't let it happen, isn't it?

I want to say so too,
but we're not so united.

Can we turn Lohengramm down?

I'm sorry, but I can't do it.

The Alliance has always abided by
the principle of democracy.

I've no power over this.

In this case...

Do you think we
should inform them?

We have no evidence.

The election will begin soon.
These prisoners might

have no voting power,
the returning soldiers do.

2 million votes.
No, plus their families,

there might be 5 million votes.

Do we have a more convincing
reason than these votes?

Besides,
Besides what?

Besides, it seems
from the surface,

this will only increase the
power of Truniht's senators.

Do we have to check out these
prisoners to identify the spy?

That's impossible.

The spy is within
2 million people.

How can we find him?

Besides, this could be a trap.

Commander Yang,
what do you intend to do?

I've an idea.

Commander Yang's right.

The Alliance has accepted
the Empire's plan.

These patriotic soldiers
who have fought bravely,

are locked up by the enemy.

I promise everyone,

I will free all the prisoners
from being criminals...

and get rid of their bad habits.

When everyone returns,

I'll give out money and holidays.

Everyone can follow their wish
and return to the army.

Everyone will be promoted.

All heroes and warriors.
You don't have to feel ashamed.

Everyone should stand
up and return.

Those who should feel ashamed
are the Commanders who...

forced you to surrender.

I, Lohengramm,
besides thanking you,

do also apologise.

from the bottom of my heart.

The Commander Reinhard
von Lohengramm.

That's perfect.

Lohengramm gave himself
another 2 million elites.

All words and no action...

Will they bring the bombs?

I don't think so.

Even if we get
lserlohn Fortress back,

there's nothing
good for Lohengramm.

He has to disperse the army
to maintain victory.

It is not to his advantage.

I see.

He's really good-looking.

He looks so talented.

You mean him?

He can't be compared
to Lohengramm.

Really?

If he train for 10 odd years...

and gains more experience,
he can be my match.

He's only older then
me by 6 years.

I'm the No.1 Admiral Kircheis.

I'm Commander Yang Wenli. Sorry
to make you come all the way.

I've always wanted to
meet Commander Yang.

I'm glad to have known you.

You're right.

He looks really handsome.

But it can be stupid as well.

Do you think so? Commander.

I agree.

How old are you?

I'm 15.

Really? I was 15 too...

When I first went to war.
I'm in no position to

encourage you. But you must
take care of yourself.

Hey!

Don't be too touched and
join the Empire instead.

You mean Kircheis?

He gives others
a good impression.

That's weird.

You are actually impressed with...

the enemy's General.

I've always wanted to meet him.

I mean Lohengramm.

Julian, let's go back
to Heinessenpolis.

I've to go back to attend the
welcome ceremony of the prisoners.

The Capital of the Alliance,
Heinessenpolis.

I'm proud to announce,

that everyone can return...

is due to the humanistic
ideals of the government.

As well as the
Foreign Affairs Department.

Everyone just rest.

I hope everyone will remember,

that one day everyone must
sacrifice for the Liberation War.

Everyone has return safely.

But we must remember those
who did it 10 times more.

Those who died in
the Amlitzer War.

Julian, are you ready?

Let's go.

Yes, Commander.

Our rest is only temporary.

The Empire is our enemy.

We must defeat the Empire.
Long live Republicanism.

It's been tough on you.

It's tiring to listen
to Truniht's speech.

Yet I have to attend
such functions.

This can be regarded
as part of our salary.

Do you have to be so secretive?

Actually, I'm very happy.

It reminds me of the times
in military school.

In order to resist,
we thought of many ways.

Thank you.

Help me take a look.

Do you have anything to say?

That's right.

There could be some
changes in the Empire.

You mean political changes?

That's right.

Lohengramm may do so.

So as to remove the
thorn of his problem.

I see.

Those who initiated this change,

did not realise that they were
made use by Lohengramm.

That's right.

He's daring enough
to think of this.

There's nothing to worry for
those who thought of this.

Besides, to Lohengramm,
there is no need for success.

As long as he can cause the
Alliance Army to be divided,

it's good enough.
That's his aim.

You mean you want me
to do preparations...

for the upcoming change.

You can't tell anyone about this.

Then my responsibility is great.

I want you to help me
in another matter.

I understand. No problem.

I'll give you tomorrow.

It's best not to use such things.

Let's go back.

Ok.

I've good news for you.

Commander Yang's application
to deploy Caselnes...

might be approved soon.

Really?

You mean Caselnes is
going to come to lserlohn?

This is good news.

It'll be easier on me.

Earth is our mother.

What are they trying to do?
We must get Earth back.

Their most popular religion...

is called Earth religion.

Earth?

Is that the planet that
humans discovered?

Yes.

They treat Earth, which is
opposite to Empire as a sacred place.

They have been praying there.

They term this war as a sacred
war to take back the sacred place.

They are very fervent.

Fools, there is no such
thing as Red Cross Army.

This is really a serious
mistake of generation.

These people are just rightists.

Or the Patriotic
Knights Corp that...

were shamed during
the previous election.

At this rate, the Alliance
will surely be destroyed.

The army will become tools...

for the selfish politicians.

We must overthrow this...

corrupted and stupid ideal.

This is inevitable if we
want to rebuild our home.

There is a key person here.

He's lserlohn Fortress's
Commander Yang.

Some say he's no longer in the
Capital and can't join us.

I want to hear
your views on this.

His reputation and talents
will be of great help to us.

We can't underestimate the
value of lserlohn Fortress.

No matter what,

His battalion is the
strongest in the Alliance.

It'll be terrible if he
deflects to the enemy.

This is very clear.

It's not much time before action.

Is it too late to persuade him?

I don't think there's a need
to take Commander Yang in.

We're not talking about
personal favourites now.

We must think of the big picture.

As long as we
control the Capital,

he can't act,

no matter how good he is.

It's not too late
to force him then.

That's a good idea.

I've a suggestion.

We should send someone
to watch Commander Yang.

We can get rid of him...

... if we find out
he's up against us.

This may be a good idea.

We must plot carefully as there
might be great danger.

Does anyone object?

Then, we'll go as planned.

Go ahead and dance on the palm.

But it's not known how
much time is left.

I'll see how good you're.

If this plan succeed, Commander
Yang will have to leave lserlohn.

Yes.

Who's this Commander Yang?

He's very righteous.

But he's not easy to control.

He looks very calm
but far-sighted.

I suspect he can
even see through us.

What did you say?

If so, why is he willing?

I don't know what he's thinking.

No matter what situation,

can he really turn things around?

But judging from his thinking,
I think...

I think Commander Yang
is to be feared.

But...

But what?

It would be good if
you can be his friend.

Is it Commander Yang?

I'd like to meet him.

797 Galaxy years
488 Empire years.

It looked calm at the
beginning of the year.

No one can expect a storm coming.

The Night Before the Storm.
