[00:01] Narrator
    The authority of the
    Summerforth Empire is waning,
[00:04] Narrator
    giving rise to rebellion across the realm.
[00:07] Narrator
    While noble rulers of various provinces
    strengthened their autonomy,
[00:11] Narrator
    Governor Amador Salamakhia
    of Missian Province passed away.
[00:16] Narrator
    Missian has thus been
    divided into two factions
[00:20] Narrator
    under the governor's eldest son,
    Couran Salamakhia,
[00:23] Narrator
    and his second son, Vasmarque Salamakhia.
[00:26] Narrator
    Vasmarque occupies the provincial capital,
    Arcantez, and has proclaimed himself the heir,
[00:32] Narrator
    but Couran has mobilized to depose him.
[00:35] Narrator
    Ars, Lord of Lamberg, has retained
    the mercenary company Shadow,
[00:41] Narrator
    and now heads forth to take Castle Staatz.

[00:52] Rosell
    I can see Castle Staatz!
[00:56] Ars
    Contact Lord Couran!
[00:58] Ars
    Let's initiate the plan!
[01:01] Narrator
    The strategy for Ars and his camp was thus.
[01:04] Narrator
    First, Couran's army of fifty thousand
    laid siege to the castle
[01:08] Narrator
    while Ars took five thousand
    of his men to the north.
[01:12] Narrator
    This forced the enemy general,
    the headman of Verzud,
[01:17] Narrator
    to focus his mages in the south
    to deal with Couran's larger force.
[01:21] Narrator
    Naturally, they left some mages on the north
    side to deal with five thousand troops.
[01:26] Narrator
    But that is where...
[01:30] Narrator
    they miscalculated.

    Sir!
[03:25] Captain
    Defeat the invaders!

    Yeah, just not my strong suit.
[03:37] Soldier E
    Captain! There's a mage charging
    us at incredible speed!
[03:41] Captain
    But only one.
[03:43] Captain
    Aim for her catalyzer!
[03:47] Captain
    Fire!
[03:50] Charlotte

[03:58] Narrator
    Ars's force of five thousand
    wasn't just any five thousand.
[04:04] Charlotte
    There's only one of me...
[04:06] Charlotte
    But one of me is worth
    a hundred of anyone else!

    Sir!
[04:25] Ars
    Let's go, everyone! Charge!
[04:31] Ars
    Clamant, please send your company
    to lead the charge!
[04:37] Ars
    I'd like you to open the south gate
    for Lord Couran from the inside!
[04:41] Ars
    It's a dangerous role, but can you do it?
[04:44] Clamant
    Leave it to me.
[04:47] Ars
    We'll follow them and secure the grounds!
[04:55] Ars
    Charlotte! Rietz!
[04:57] Ars
    Excellent work.
[05:01] Ars
    Rietz, Mireille...
[05:03] Ars
    Please take to the front line
    and lead our forces.
[05:07] Ars
    Guide us on our way.
[05:09] Soldier E
    The wall's down! The enemy's coming!
[05:12] Captain
    If they open the south gate from inside,
[05:14] Captain
    Lord Couran's forces will swamp us!
[05:17] Captain
    We'll be done for!

[05:55] Lamberg Soldier
    I thought Thomas wasn't here...
[05:58] Lamberg Soldier
    But there's an awful lot of them!
[06:00] Charlie
    Rietz!
[06:01] Rietz
    It doesn't matter how many there are!
[06:06] Rietz
    To bring Lord Ars to victory,
[06:08] Rietz
    we must break through all adversity.
[06:13] Old Captain
    Who is that man?!
[06:16] Old Captain
    He's far too strong!
[06:20] Old Captain
    They broke down the wall,
    and they're overwhelming our forces...
[06:24] Old Captain
    Are we done for?
[06:29] Old Captain
    We surrender!
[06:32] Xenon
    Captain!
[06:33] Old Captain
    You can take us prisoner.
[06:35] Old Captain
    Just spare our lives!
[06:38] Rietz
    A wise choice.
[06:39] Rietz
    All right, everyone, drop your—
[06:41] Joe
    Hey, wait a minute!
[06:44] Joe
    Things were just getting exciting!
[06:47] Joe
    I'm gonna fight, too!
[06:49] Joe
    Ow...
[06:54] Old Captain
    You're just messing everything up!
[06:56] Old Captain
    Stand back and wait for orders!
[06:58] Joe
    No way!

    No fair that you get all the fun.
[07:01] Rietz
    Who are you?
[07:03] Joe
    Hey, that's a great question!
[07:05] Joe
    My name is Braham Joe!
[07:07] Joe
    I was born and raised here in Verzud!
[07:09] Joe
    As for my age...
[07:12] Joe
    Um...
[07:14] Joe
    I'm seventeen!
[07:16] Old Captain
    But I just surrendered!
[07:18] Joe
    Shut up!
[07:21] Joe
    I'm not done talking yet!
[07:25] Joe
    Listen up, folks.
[07:28] Joe
    I'm the rowdy brat of Castle Staatz.
[07:31] Joe
    You'd better beat me!
[07:33] Ice
    Keep him away from Rietz!
[07:35] Joe
    You're in my way!
[07:38] Ice
    H-He's so strong!
[07:41] Joe
    Hey, Malkan guy!
[07:43] Joe
    You're the toughest one here, right?
[07:45] Joe
    Fight me, okay?
[07:48] Rietz
    Very well. Give me all you've got!
[07:52] Madamashi
    F-Follow Joe!
[08:07] Joe
    Yeah, you're good at this, all right.
[08:11] Joe
    No one in this castle is as good as me.
[08:14] Joe
    They can't keep up.
[08:16] Joe
    It's great to meet someone who's any good!
[08:18] Joe
    This is awesome!
[08:20] Rietz
    Is that so?
[08:22] Rietz
    I...
[08:24] Rietz
    To be frank, this is the most
    boring match I've fought so far.
[08:31] Joe
    Fighting me... is boring?!
[08:35] Rietz
    Yes.
[08:37] Joe
    I...
[08:40] Joe
    I'm the strongest guy in this castle.
[08:42] Joe
    You can't be bored fighting me!
[08:45] Rietz
    This is exactly the problem.
[08:50] Rietz
    You rely on strength and emotion,
    and fail to employ basic tactics.
[09:02] Joe
    Ow!
[09:05] Rietz
    If you only ever look straight ahead,
    you'll fall for the simplest feints.
[09:12] Rietz
    You have talent.
[09:14] Rietz
    Why fight in a way that completely negates it?
[09:24] Mireille
    Huh? We're done already?
[09:27] Ars
    Mireille!
[09:28] Mireille
    Hey, nice going.
[09:30] Ars
    Yes, likewise!
[09:31] Ars
    We've managed to secure the area.
[09:33] Ars
    Thank you so much.
[09:35] Ars
    Is Rietz—
[09:36] Rietz
    Your footwork is lacking!
[09:41] Rietz
    Don't just give up!
[09:42] Rietz
    Come on! Get up!
[09:44] Ars
    Huh? He's instructing the enemy?

    Braham Joe 17 Male

    Fights for fun. Likes young, strong women.
[09:53] Rietz
    You're the most incompetent
    fighter I've ever seen.
[10:00] Rietz
    A true soldier puts in the work every day,
    refines his talents, and overcomes his limits.
[10:06] Rietz
    If you just want to exercise brute strength
    like a child, quit the service at once.
[10:20] Rietz
    F-Forgive me, Lord Ars!
[10:22] Rietz
    I got caught up in training him...
[10:24] Joe
    M...
[10:25] Joe
    Master!
[10:27] Joe
    Please!
[10:31] Joe
    Please take me as your student!
[10:35] Rietz
    What are you talking about?
    We're on opposing sides!
[10:38] Joe
    Oh, right. Well...
[10:40] Joe
    Guess I'm going turncoat!
[10:42] Rietz
    But... why should I take you as a student?
[10:45] Joe
    I wanna get stronger!
[10:47] Joe
    I'll start out as a porter if I have to.
[10:49] Joe
    I can, right? Please!
[10:52] Rietz
    Out of the question!
[10:54] Ars
    All right!

    Hey, Master, who's this kid?

[14:32] Soldiers
    Sure is.
[14:33] Ars
    Pardon me.
[14:35] Couran
    Hey, Ars. We've been waiting.
[14:43] Couran
    Oh, don't mind them.
[14:45] Couran
    They're just my guards.
[14:47] Couran
    As I said before, you did
    great work on this campaign.
[14:50] Ars
    Not at all. It was everyone else's doing.
[14:53] Couran
    No, it's unprecedented for such a young lord
    of a small domain to be so successful.
[14:59] Couran
    Your courage and intelligence
    are exceptional,
[15:02] Couran
    as is your mysterious ability
    to read the hearts of others.
[15:09] Couran
    Exactly who are you?
[15:14] Couran
    Rather...
[15:15] Couran
    What are you hiding?
[15:21] Ars
    Lord Couran... What's going on?
[15:23] Ars
    This isn't his usual aura...
[15:26] Ars
    Does he think I'm after his throne?
[15:30] Ars
    Or... has he realized that
    I'm not from this world?
[15:38] Ars
    I'm just one insignificant lord.
[15:41] Couran
    I see.
[15:43] Couran
    Still, an insignificant lord must have
    his reasons for ascending this far.
[15:49] Couran
    And don't lie to me.
[15:53] Ars
    I do have a reason.
[15:56] Couran
    And what is it?
[15:59] Ars
    There's only one thing I want.
[16:02] Ars
    I want to create a peaceful world where
    the people of my domain can be happy.
[16:07] Ars
    I don't know why I have
    this mysterious ability.
[16:12] Ars
    But I was born the son of a lord,
    and when I inherited my father's domain,
[16:17] Ars
    I swore that I'd use my power for my people.
[16:27] Couran
    I see!
[16:28] Couran
    That's about the answer I expected.
[16:32] Couran
    You should see your face.
[16:34] Couran
    You know, my retainers have
    been in my ear lately,
[16:37] Couran
    wondering just who this
    "Ars Louvent" fellow is.
[16:41] Couran
    Some of them have their doubts
    about your motivations,
[16:45] Couran
    and others are worried you
    might be after my throne.
[16:50] Couran
    Of course, I don't believe that's the case.
[16:53] Ars
    O-Of course not!
[16:56] Couran
    I'm sure what you've just said has
    put my nervous retainers at ease.
[17:01] Couran
    But you know... when you
    stand out, you get attention.
[17:07] Couran
    Everyone in Missian has
    their eyes on you now.
[17:16] Couran
    I'm counting on you, Ars.
[17:18] Ars
    Y-Yes, my lord!
[17:25] Ars
    Th-That was nerve-racking!
[17:28] Ars
    That's the most terrifying
    room I've ever been in!
[17:33] Ars
    What if I'd given a different answer?
[17:41] Ars
    But it's true that not everyone
    necessarily likes me.
[17:45] Ars
    I'd better be careful.
[17:48] Ars
    What the—
[17:51] Charlotte
    I've taken the head of Ars Louvent!
[17:54] Ars
    What are you doing, Charlotte?!
[17:56] Charlotte

    Hey, Ars.
