**[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**
