[00:05] Klen
    I'm confiscating this.
[00:06] Alicia
    Why?
[00:08] Klen
    This sword stands out too much.
[00:11] Klen
    I won't want to attract any
    more unfortunate attention.
[00:17] Alicia
    My Stream Splitter...
[00:19] Klen
    I'll let you have it when we need it.
[00:21] Klen
    Just be glad I'm not throwing it away.
[00:24] Nelluru
    You use strange spells, Master.
[00:29] Klen
    Oh, Nelluru. Are you ready to go?
[00:31] Nelluru
    Yes.
[00:32] Nelluru
    I was reluctant to take it all
    without permission,
[00:35] Nelluru
    but I got everything
    we'll need for our journey.
[00:39] Nelluru
    Look at this!
[00:40] Nelluru
    I found clothes for Lord Luna, too!
[00:44] Klen
    Well done.
[00:45] Alicia
    But Nelluru, isn't carrying all that stuff,
    and Luna too, really heavy?
[00:51] Nelluru
    I'm fine! My body actually
    feels really light.
[00:54] Alicia
    Light, huh?
[00:57] Alicia
    She'd lost a good bit of her body.
[01:01] Alicia
    Did Klen give her the body parts
    of some muscle-bound bandit?
[01:06] Alicia
    I was dead, so I didn't see what he did...
[01:09] Nelluru
    If you want, I'll carry your sword
    and armor too, Hero!
[01:14] Nelluru
    I want to be useful to you, Hero!
[01:18] Alicia
    Thanks...
[01:19] Alicia
    But I don't have my sword
    or armor anymore...
[01:22] Nelluru
    If you need a sword,
[01:24] Nelluru
    then Big Sister Carme said Master Vroko
    kept all the good ones in his desk.
[01:28] Alicia
    Really?
[01:29] Alicia
    I think I know the desk she's talking about!
[01:31] Alicia
    Let me have this, okay?
[01:32] Klen
    Well, without a sword you're
    completely useless, after all.
[01:37] Alicia
    Hooray!
[01:38] Klen
    Just take one.
[01:41] Nelluru
    She's a lot cuter than I thought.
[01:46] Klen
    She's just an idiot.
[01:50] Klen
    But... she did wipe out the bandits.
[01:54] Klen
    The slaves fled,
    and now this place is empty.
[01:58] Klen
    Will you miss it?
[02:00] Nelluru
    I don't have any good
    memories of this place.
[02:03] Nelluru
    But this is where I lived with my mother.
[02:08] Nelluru
    Seeing it empty...
    makes me just a little sad.
[02:13] Nelluru
    I wish I could've said goodbye
    to Big Sis Carme, at least...
[02:21] Klen
    That "Carme" woman...
[02:28] Gart
    I've found you!
[02:29] Gart
    The little man who uses weird techniques!
[04:08] Alicia
    This is the one.
SIGN    Episode 5:
    Boelate's March
[04:09] Alicia
    I hope nobody stole it all during the chaos.
[04:13] Alicia
    Oh, money!
[04:14] Alicia
    Good to have!
[04:16] Alicia
    Hard to tell who the bandit is
    when I'm doing this, though.
[04:20] Alicia
    Now, next is...
[04:23] Alicia
    What's this?
[04:24] Alicia
    Women's leather armor?
[04:27] Alicia
    Was that old guy a pervert?
[04:30] Alicia
    He didn't wear this himself, did he?
[04:34] Alicia
    No, no, no.
[04:36] Alicia
    He probably just smelled it or something.
[04:39] Alicia
    Well, I can take it.
[04:41] Alicia
    Even if I can't die, stuff still hurts...
[04:44] Alicia
    And even Klen wouldn't mind
    if I wore some leather armor.
[04:48] Alicia
    Now, next...
[04:58] Alicia
    Well-balanced and light.
[05:00] Alicia
    It's not a magic weapon from Hiden,
    but it's a good sword.
[05:03] Alicia
    I'll take this.
[05:08] Alicia
    What?
[05:12] Alicia
    Klen?
[05:16] Klen
    The problem with this tiny body
    is how far it flies...
[05:20] Alicia
    Who did that to you?
[05:24] Gart
    You've got others with you?
[05:26] Alicia
    He's... strong.
[05:38] Alicia
    That's not just an ordinary kick!
[05:40] Gart
    You've got good eyes, to dodge my kick.
[05:45] Gart
    But we'll see how long you can keep it up!
[05:49] Alicia
    He's striking multiple times from mid-air,
    but each attack is powerful!
[05:55] Gart
    You're tough.
[05:57] Alicia
    He backed off?
[05:59] Gart
    Fly!
[06:13] Nelluru
    Hero!
[06:17] Gart
    You really are tough.
[06:21] Gart
    I'm only interested in the kid.
[06:24] Gart
    If you're willing to leave, I'll let you go.
[06:26] Alicia
    Let me go?
[06:28] Alicia
    I don't know if you're one of
    the bandits who survived,
[06:31] Alicia
    but don't underestimate a hero.
[06:33] Gart
    It seems you truly want to die.
[06:36] Alicia
    If this doesn't work,
    I'm going to need Stream Splitter.
[06:49] Alicia
    Hidden Sword Rising Dragon!
[06:53] Gart
    She's...!
[06:56] Klen
    Wait!
[07:06] Klen
    Enough, Alicia.
[07:11] Alicia
    Ow!
[07:14] Alicia
    What was that for, Klen?
[07:15] Klen
    Did you drive every thought
    from your mind except killing?
[07:19] Alicia
    That's how the technique works!
[07:22] Klen
    He attacked us due to a misunderstanding.
[07:25] Alicia
    Misunderstanding?
[07:28] Klen
    If I hadn't stopped him,
    his kick would've ripped your body apart.
[07:34] Gart
    If this is a misunderstanding, then explain.
[07:38] Gart
    That woman stinks of a western troll.
[07:43] Nelluru
    Y-You mean me?
[07:45] Nelluru
    Was it because I got swallowed?
[07:48] Gart
    I was told there was a small
    man here who controlled a troll.
[07:52] Gart
    And I found the corpse
    of a troll underground.
[07:56] Gart
    Its arms and legs were torn off,
[07:57] Gart
    and its face and guts
    were all over the place.
[08:01] Gart
    You're the small man,
    and you killed your troll, right?
[08:06] Klen
    I see.
[08:08] Klen
    Nelluru, take Luna and wait
    at the entrance to the village.
[08:12] Nelluru
    O-Okay!
[08:18] Alicia
    Shall I go too?
[08:20] Klen
    No, you stay. This guy's a dark beast.
[08:25] Klen
    He's taken human form,
    but he's something else inside.
[08:28] Alicia
    A dark beast?
[08:29] Klen
    He's under the effect of a powerful illusion
[08:31] Klen
    which prevents even me
    from seeing his true form.
[08:34] Klen
    But he has wings and talons,
    that much I'm sure of.
[08:38] Klen
    And there's only one being
    who could use such powerful illusions.
[08:44] Klen
    The Lord of Dark Beasts of the West...
[08:48] Klen
    Zavthier of Phantasms.
[08:52] Alicia
    The West's Lord of Dark Beasts?
[08:54] Klen
    Who doesn't get along with
    Clevatess of the Moonlight, by the way.
[08:59] Gart
    How do you know all this?
[09:01] Gart
    Who are you?
[09:03] Klen
    I am Klen.
[09:05] Klen
    A servant of a Lord of Dark Beasts
    taking human form, just like you.
[09:11] Alicia
    He's hiding his true identity
    from dark beasts, too?
[09:14] Alicia
    He did say he didn't want them
    to know he was gone...
[09:20] Gart
    I see.
[09:22] Gart
    Normally, I shouldn't even
    be talking to you, but...
[09:28] Gart
    our goals are the same.
[09:31] Gart
    I've heard that Clevatess
    destroyed a humanoid capital.
[09:36] Gart
    Lord Zavthier is also considering
    the destruction of humanoids.
[09:43] Gart
    My name is Gart.
[09:45] Gart
    Just as you surmised,
    I am a servant of Lord Zavthier,
[09:49] Gart
    the Lord of Dark Beasts of the West.
[09:52] Gart
    Now it's your turn.
    Show me proof you're a dark beast.
[09:57] Klen
    Just a little.
[10:02] Klen
    Will that do?
[10:05] Gart
    Very well.
[10:09] Gart
    This means for now, at least,
    we have no reason to fight.
[10:11] Alicia
    Wait, wait.
[10:13] Alicia
    Two dark beasts that look
    and talk like humans?
[10:17] Alicia
    There are others beyond Clevatess?
[10:20] Alicia
    Does that mean the heroes
    weren't even fighting the right battle?
[10:25] Alicia
    The world of mankind might've
    been smaller than we thought...
[10:30] Klen
    Hey, servant.
[10:32] Klen
    Don't get unnecessarily suspicious.
[10:34] Klen
    There aren't many dark beasts who can
    take human form and use human speech.
[10:40] Alicia
    He read my mind?!
[10:41] Klen
    And except for Zavthier,
    who enjoys illusions,
[10:45] Klen
    nobody would get involved
    with humanoids without a good reason.
[10:49] Klen
    We all look down on humanoids.
[10:53] Klen
    We think of even speaking
    with them as embarrassing.
[10:56] Gart
    Correct.
[10:57] Gart
    That's why I need an explanation.
[11:01] Gart
    She said she was a hero.
    Heroes are our enemies.
[11:04] Gart
    Why are you with her?
[11:08] Gart
    Answer me, Klen, servant of Clevatess.
[11:11] Gart
    Who is that woman?
[11:14] Klen
    She's a hero, yes,
    but right now she's my servant.
[11:18] Klen
    I have a spell that forces her
    to obey me no matter what.
[11:21] Klen
    She's my guide as I attempt to learn
    the ways of the humanoids... And my shield.
[11:28] Klen
    The other two are no different.
    Tools to help me learn about humanoids.
[11:34] Klen
    I've no duty to tell you,
    an outsider, any more than that.
[11:41] Gart
    I see.
[11:42] Gart
    I'm curious about the "no matter
    what" part, but I accept that.
[11:47] Gart
    But I'll say this one thing.
[11:50] Gart
    Get in my way and I'll kill them.
[11:53] Klen
    Try, if you like.
[11:55] Klen
    I won't let you, though.
[11:58] Klen
    Now it's my turn to ask questions.
[12:00] Klen
    Gart, servant of Zavthier,
[12:03] Klen
    what do you mean your master
    is thinking of wiping out humanoids?
[12:09] Klen
    The Zavthier I know is a strange one
    who enjoys observing humanoids.
[12:14] Klen
    They are worshiped as a god
    by the Orggites in the western forests.
[12:19] Klen
    What changed?
[12:21] Alicia
    That's right.
[12:23] Alicia
    That's why the heroes never go west.
[12:26] Alicia
    You can't make it through the forest
    without the Orggites’ cooperation.
[12:30] Alicia
    What happened in the west?
[12:35] Gart
    Three days ago...
SIGN    Three Days Ago, Great Forests of the West
[12:52] (Flashback) Gart
    Are they looking for their youngling?
[12:55] (Flashback) Gart
    They seem upset, like it vanished suddenly.
[12:59] (Flashback) Gart
    Something's strange.
[13:04] (Flashback) Gart
    I'd noticed something
    was strange a while ago,
[13:07] (Flashback) Gart
    but just speaking of cases I know of,
[13:09] (Flashback) Gart
    this is the ninth time a dark beast
    youngling has vanished for no reason.
[13:14] (Flashback) Gart
    Very few dark beasts can speak,
[13:16] (Flashback) Gart
    and it's not at all unusual
    for a youngling to be eaten.
[13:20] (Flashback) Gart
    So it's possible that far
    more have actually vanished.
[13:26] (Flashback) Gart
    I can't say why, but it seems likely
    the humanoids are behind this.
[13:33] (Flashback) Zavthier
    I'd thought I'd built a good
    relationship with the Orggites.
[13:42] (Flashback) Zavthier
    This is a foul omen.
[13:46] (Flashback) Gart
    Shall we summon their chiefs?
[13:48] (Flashback) Zavthier
    No. They cannot be trusted either.
[13:53] (Flashback) Zavthier
    You must go to their world and investigate.
[13:58] (Flashback) Zavthier
    If necessary,
    we must consider destroying them.
[14:05] Klen
    I'm surprised Zavthier came to that conclusion
    before I—before my master did.
[14:12] Gart
    I believe dark beast younglings have gone
    missing from the southern mountains, too.
[14:16] Gart
    I came here in search of clues.
[14:20] Klen
    I killed the little man.
[14:22] Klen
    I had to kill the troll too,
    when it attacked me.
[14:26] Gart
    I see. If it attacked you,
    then I cannot blame you.
[14:32] Klen
    It may be more than dark beast
    younglings they're taking.
[14:37] Gart
    What do you mean?
[14:39] Klen
    A human woman told me...
[14:43] (Flashback) Carme
    Don't look at me like that!
[14:45] (Flashback) Carme
    Women here aren't supposed to give birth!
[14:48] (Flashback) Carme
    They always come and buy the babies!
[14:53] (Flashback) Klen
    "They"?
[14:54] (Flashback) Carme
    These weird guys in black robes...
[14:57] (Flashback) Carme
    They always say something about "talent"...
[14:59] (Flashback) Carme
    I saw Master Vroko meet with them once!
[15:02] (Flashback) Carme
    I don't know anything else!
[15:04] (Flashback) Carme
    Even he seemed afraid of them...
[15:07] (Flashback) Klen
    It seemed strange that Nell
    would have three stillbirths.
[15:12] (Flashback) Klen
    Did you kill them all?
[15:13] (Flashback) Carme
    I did!
[15:15] (Flashback) Carme
    That's the rule among the girls here!
[15:18] (Flashback) Carme
    Even if you give birth,
    they'll just be sold!
[15:20] (Flashback) Carme
    The men won't protect you!
[15:22] (Flashback) Carme
    We try our best not to get pregnant,
    to protect what little pride we've got left!
[15:29] (Flashback) Carme
    But Nell's too stupid to do that!
[15:32] (Flashback) Carme
    So I killed them!
[15:33] (Flashback) Carme
    Did you think I killed them
    because I wanted to, you bastard?!
[15:40] (Flashback) Klen
    I understand what you're trying to say.
[15:42] (Flashback) Klen
    But Nell says she grew up here.
[15:47] (Flashback) Klen
    I'm sure her mother just kept her hidden
    until she was too old to be sold.
[15:53] (Flashback) Klen
    You people never tried.
    That's all there is to it.
[16:03] Klen
    Someone buying humanoid babies...
[16:05] Klen
    Humanoids kidnapping dark beast younglings.
[16:07] Klen
    They seem unconnected at first glance,
    but I imagine they actually are.
[16:12] Klen
    The ones buying babies were connected
    to Vroko, the small man.
[16:17] Klen
    And he had a pet troll.
[16:21] Klen
    And that "talent," I presume...
[16:25] Klen
    Means that "magic"
    is deeply involved in this.
[16:30] Gart
    Magic?
[16:33] Alicia
    You look upset.
[16:36] Klen
    Any idea what might be going on?
[16:40] Alicia
    Like I said, magic's not my thing.
[16:44] Alicia
    So I don't know anything about it...
[16:47] Alicia
    But it feels like something they'd do.
[16:50] Klen
    "They"?
[16:52] Alicia
    The ones who use magic as tools for war...
[16:56] Alicia
    The wizards.
SIGN    Dunn Plain
[16:58] Alicia
    They've shown up over the past few years.
[17:02] Alicia
    They changed the way battles are fought
[17:04] Alicia
    on the Dunn Plain,
    where Boelate and Eslinn fight.
[17:08] Alicia
    Right now, your wizard's skill
    is what mostly determines the winner.
[17:25] Alicia
    And the first one to bring
    them to the battlefield
[17:28] Alicia
    Boelate Army Hiden Dispatch Force Commander
    General Drel
[17:29] Alicia
    was the one they call
    General Drel, the Dragon Slayer.
[17:34] Drel
    All forces, advance.
[17:37] Drel
    Our target is the border fortress of High Gate.
[17:43] Alicia
    The man who killed my father.
[17:46] (Flashback) Alicia
    Dad!
[17:47] (Flashback) Alicia
    Stand up, Dad!
[17:49] (Flashback) Margo
    Alicia...
[17:52] (Flashback) Alicia
    Dad!
[17:56] (Flashback) Drel
    There are walls that cannot be
    overcome with the sword alone.
[18:00] (Flashback) Drel
    The age of magic
    and swords is about to begin.
[18:11] Klen
    Alicia, you came to kill me instead
    of the man who killed your father?
[18:18] Alicia
    That was my father's last wish...
[18:22] Alicia
    50,000 Melte (Roughly 6km) East of High Gate,
    Eslinn Camp
[18:27] Rod
    Gather our forces west of High Gate!
[18:30] Rod
    All units, move fast.
[18:31] Rod
    That's all.
[18:31] Rod
    Eslinn 1st Royal Guard Division Commander
    Rod Royes
[18:33] Miquel
    Rod!
[18:34] Rod
    How's it looking, Miquel?
[18:36] Miquel
    Our advance force was wiped out.
[18:38] Miquel
    The Boelate army, led by Drel,
    continues to head south.
[18:41] Miquel
    They number 50,000.
[18:43] Rod
    They're really going to try
    and capture Hiden.
[18:46] Rod
    We've got no more than 6,000.
[18:48] Rod
    And not enough wizards, either.
[18:51] Rod
    Our whole force couldn't even slow him down.
[18:55] Miquel
    What about our reinforcements
    from the main army?
[18:57] Rod
    It'll take three days for them to arrive.
[18:59] Rod
    Look.
[19:00] Rod
    Drel's army is here.
[19:02] Rod
    They're heading straight for High Gate.
[19:05] Rod
    The fortress has a large gate to the east
    and a smaller gate to the west.
[19:09] Rod
    If we can get in from the west gate
    on the Eslinn side, we can seal the gate,
[19:11] Rod
    and fight even with these numbers.
[19:15] Rod
    But that would take Hiden's cooperation.
[19:18] Rod
    I've sent messengers, but haven't heard back.
[19:21] Rod
    The situation inside
    the fortress must be chaotic.
[19:24] Miquel
    Are the rumors that Clevatess
    attacked the castle true?
[19:29] Rod
    At this point, we have to believe so.
[19:32] Rod
    That's why Boelate sent Drel,
    their most powerful general.
[19:38] Rod
    They're probably
    after the royal family's forge.
[19:40] Rod
    Without that forge, you wouldn't
    be able to make my regalia,
[19:44] Rod
    Frost Flower, or the magic weapons you
    and the other captains have.
[19:48] Miquel
    Yes, it would be very bad if they took that.
[19:51] Miquel
    We'd lose our powerful swords.
[19:54] Rod
    That's not all.
[19:56] Rod
    The forge of the Hiden royal family
    is the world's oldest magical item.
[20:01] Rod
    Anyone who researches magic would want
    its secrets more than anything, I'm told.
[20:09] Miquel
    Boelate's magical forces
    are already stronger than ours.
[20:13] Miquel
    If they took it, that'd be terrible!
[20:16] Miquel
    They'll be able to take over
    not just Eslinn, but all of Edthea!
[20:20] R
    That's why we need to stop his forces.
[20:24] Soldier
    Commander!
[20:26] Soldier
    Commander Royes!
[20:27] Rod
    What is it? Have the messengers returned?
[20:30] Soldier
    No...
[20:32] Soldier
    The west gate is closed,
    but... the east gate...
[20:35] Soldier
    The larger east gate is opening!
[20:52] Meynard
    I've been awaiting your
    arrival, General Drel.
[20:55] Drel
    How goes it, Meynard?
[20:58] Meynard
    I've confirmed the death of King Hiden.
[21:01] Meynard
    The crown princess
    is elsewhere and safe.
[21:05] Meynard
    The problem is the six-month-old son.
[21:09] Meynard
    This child is the only one who's sure
    to have royal blood.
[21:15] Meynard
    He was taken away by a boy
    with black hair, and now he's missing.
[21:22] Drel
    So we don't know if he's alive or dead?
[21:24] Meynard
    Correct.
[21:26] Meynard
    But oddly enough, the Ravens just
    told me they found a Hidenean baby.
[21:34] Meynard
    And the hair color of the boy they
    found with him matches that.
[21:39] Meynard
    I believe we should investigate.
[21:41] Drel
    Then go, now.
[21:44] Drel
    Meynard Swan, our military's
    most powerful wizard.
[21:49] Drel
    Bring him back by the
    time I arrive in Hiderat.
