RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

l don`t believe it... A dragon?!

The evil dragon Narse!

The Ancient Dragon who sleeps in Marmo!

Now then, heroes.

Destroy the evil dragon Narse who stands before you.

lf you wish to stop the Destroyer`s resurrection.

lt`s huge...!

lt looks like we were lured here.

What`s going on here?!

Narse was sent to Marmo to guard its Governor`s Treasure...

...and was domesticated by the natives here!

You mean...?! The Ancient Dragon works for the Marmo?!

An enemy l`d rather not fight if we could...

...but l don`t see a way around this.

Here it comes! Scatter!

Maar!

Slayn! Cast a protection spell!

"Manna of all creation! Become a shield and protect us!"

All right! Let`s go!

"Sylph, spirits of wind! Split the demonic fire and become a whirlwind!

Garrack!

Captain!

"Manna of all creation! Become the fires of destruction!"

Damn! He`s a tough one!

What should we do? All we`re doing is exhausting our strength.

l know that, but...!

H- Help us!

"Manna of all creation!"

"Become a sword of light and strike our enemy down!"

Come on! This way!

Maar!

Maar!

What`s going on here?

Parn!

Shiris?!

Shouldn`t the great free knight be doing better than that?

Are you nuts? We`re fighting an Ancient Dragon here!

But what are you doing here?

Last l heard, you married the Duke of Highland!

l can`t just go home during Lodoss`s most important battle!

l came to bring an advance guard for you, Parn!

An advance guard?

What`s that?!

The dragon riders of Highland!

We`ll handle Narse!

Parn, you and the others keep moving!

But...!

You`ll just be in our way!

And l don`t want you underestimating my dragon riders!

All right, let`s go!

Sir Parn!

Captain! We should go, too!

Yeah, come on!

We`re the ones you`re fighting, pal!

Battle formation! And avoid the front, or you`ll be eating flames!

Let`s go!

Damn your meddling...

Hurry! The enemy`s coming!

The dragon riders of Highland?!

No doubt about it. They`re attacking Narse in the Forest of Temptation.

lmpressive. The Moss line is at least 10 days away.

lf they`ve come to Marmo as a vanguard...

What about the main force?!

Laying off our shore to the east.

They seem to be waiting for all forces so they can hit us at once.

No doubt.

The council ruling Marmo

since Emperor Beld`s death has come to this...

l estimate we have perhaps a day left to stay here.

Hurry the preparations to leave.

l`ve ordered that they finish in half a day.

l see...

Sir Ashram, where are you going?

l can`t simply leave without a word.

l have to see that man once more...

Go on ahead of me.

No. l`ll wait for you.

l`ll return soon.

l see it! Conquera!

Wh- What the...?!

That circlet...!

lt`s been a long time, Leylia.

And you, heroes of Lodoss.

Who is she?!

Once, she was one of the Six Heroes who saved the island.

And now she`s the Grey Witch, who brings chaos to Lodoss...

Karla!

The Grey Witch?!

Wait! l did not come to fight you.

l`ve come to offer one final deal to you all.

A deal...? What do you mean?

We`ll hear you out!

Don`t let up on the attack!

Keep circling and keep him confused!

lncoming! Scatter!

You all right?!

Oh, you`re a tough one, Narse.

Are we out of time?

No! We have to hold out longer!

The history of Lodoss is a history of war.

Since time immemorial, people have fought wars here again and again.

But why do the wars happen?

Have none of you ever thought about the reason for them?

The reason for the wars?

lt is power.

People attack other kingdoms, expand their dominion...

...and gain power as a result.

And then they dream of gaining even more power for themselves.

They continue on, without knowing where their path will lead.

lt doesn`t have to end in destruction!

That`s right!

True, the sorcerers in the ancient kingdom of Kastuul...

...were destroyed by the great power they sought.

Because they were people who forgot their limits as people.

But that was only one possible result!

You, as the Grey Witch, have hidden yourself through history.

lnfluencing us with the chaos of war and causing meaningless battles!

What are you saying?

She causes strong kingdoms to fight each other.

By exhausting their strength in war...

...a nation with truly great power can never arise.

But, that`s...!

The wars don`t result in more power, only the kingdoms` destruction?!

All of this l have done for the sake of Lodoss!

No good, no evil.

No light, no darkness.

And within the grey, Lodoss exists forevermore.

But you have become too powerful!

l see! So, that`s what this is about, Karla!

You were the one who sent Narse after us!

No, you were behind everything we`ve encountered since landing on Marmo!

But, why?! Wagnard is trying to resurrect the Destroyer!

lf you kill us and Kardis revives...

...her power will destroy Lodoss!

Of course, that will be the final stage.

You were the ones who decided that.

"Ladeera ve Kardis."

"Vanna dol gel ru deldu vir."

"Ladeera vanna dol! Ladeera rui deer!"

"Ley-ri del ra Kardis! Ledura damu rubay ros..."

"Marta suda vaygloss. Ladora ladora hardees!"

"Ladeera ladora Kardis!"

Soon, now... Soon, l will be free of these annoying restrictions.

Soon, now...

ls that the restriction of Ralkas?

That your body be wracked with pain for practicing those spells?

Who`s there?!

Ashram!

Torturing a young girl as a sacrifice...

Not in the best taste, is it?

She is no mere sacrifice. She is the doorway!

She is the One Door l need to call down the goddess here!

Kardis the Destroyer?

You thought l didn`t know?!

No matter. l`ve no interest in Kardis...

...or in this kingdom of the dead you wish to create.

You may be the king of the dead if that pleases you.

Then why have you come here, Ashram?

To tell you something. To say farewell.

Farewell?

l`m leaving Marmo. lf the Destroyer is resurrected...

...or the united armies of Lodoss defeat you...

...either way, tomorrow the kingdom of Marmo will vanish from the land.

l don`t wish to run, but as a general of Marmo...

...there are people l must protect.

The people of Marmo.

Even if the kingdom is destroyed, as long as its people live...

...l inherit their desires.

l shall take the people of Marmo in search of a new continent.

And there l shall build a new kingdom of Marmo.

A new kingdom...?

lt`s what Emperor Beld would have wanted.

l doubt you could understand.

Fool! A kingdom of the living eventually perishes.

But a kingdom of the dead can never be destroyed!

With a kingdom of the dead, one could possess it forever!

And soon, l shall be the king of that eternal kingdom!

This thing`s a monster!

How could it stand up to an attack like this?!

Here it comes!

Mycen, the king dragon! You made it!

We`ve done it! We`ve done it!

lt`s sad to see...

The end of a dragon who abandoned its pride for evil.

Thank you, Mycen! You`ve saved us!

That roar...!

Was Shiris able to do it?

Narse was the final test l had for you.

l now see the power you possess will only lead to great destruction.

Now choose. Will you quietly submit your lives to me?

Or will you fight the Destroyer...

...and choose the path of destruction together?

What?!

This is my final offer.

lf you sacrifice your lives, l shall stop the Destroyer`s resurrection.

Refuse, and l shall help the dark wizard...

...and Kardis will be reborn in Lodoss!

Karla!

l believe this. That you, the heroes of Lodoss...

...possess the power that will destroy both you and Kardis.

You mean... You`d resurrect Kardis just so we can fight her?!

For that, Neese was...?!

OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!

What the...?!

ls that your answer, knight of Flaim?

Spark! Forget it. That`s only Karla`s shadow.

l`ve fought for people l love! For people l respect!

For people l`ve sworn to protect!

We won`t submit ANY of our lives to you!

No one is going to sacrifice themselves!

We don`t need you! We`ll beat Wagnard...

...and stop Kardis`s resurrection ourselves!

Stop making fools of us! Now begone, you witch!

Sir Parn. l- l...

Let`s go. We`ll save our Lodoss with our own hands.

There it is... Conquera!

Welcome to Lodoss lsland!

And now, what you`ve been waiting for, the second part of the show!

Are you okay, Neese?

l`m sorry for making you worry, Spark...

lt`s all right! Never mind that!

You just rest and recover from this cold.

Spark...

Anyway, is there anything you want to eat l can get you?

l`ll bring it to you.

l... l... l want some Lossdo fruit.

Lossdo fruit?!

What are those?

Lossdo fruit...

Lossdo are juicy fruits native only to Lodoss...

...which can really soothe any sore throat!

All right, Neese! l`ll get some Lossdo fruit for you.

So just stay here and rest, okay?

Spark wandered all over Lodoss looking for Lossdo fruit!

All for his beloved Neese!

Here! Here they are!

And finally, he reached the place where Lossdo fruit grows!

Lossdo fruit...

Lossdo fruit!

Agh! Here they are! Lossdo fruit!

l did it! l did it, Neese!

Ooh... What kept you, Spark? Where did you go?

l was trying to tell you they were right outside!

Huh? What`s wrong?

The Destroyer`s resurrection is at hand! Where are you, Neese?!

As we enter the castle of Conquera...

...the black knight Ashram appears in our path!

The path of destiny these two knights have followed...

...now reaches its conclusion as their swords are drawn!
