[00:09] ---
Hmph.
[00:11] ---
The time is at hand!
[00:15] ---
Now is the moment when we
achieve our greatest desire!
[00:24] ---
Thirty thousand
Principality of Amidonia troops
[00:26] ---
are invading through
the Ursula Mountain pass.
[00:30] ---
It's likely
[00:32] ---
that Gaius intends to occupy
the southwestern city of Altomura.
[00:48] ---
"Never mind, face forward,"
[00:53] ---
my heart just cried until it was hoarse
[00:59] ---
When you lose something,
is that the end of it?
[01:04] ---
Is there no putting things back
the way they were?
[01:10] ---
Just as a line of clouds
moves off somewhere
[01:16] ---
when you take your eyes
off of them for a moment,
[01:21] ---
so does everything else
[01:26] ---
I never thought there was a version of me
[01:33] ---
that the world would have a need for
[01:38] ---
But when I believed in what I believe,
[01:44] ---
I found myself as I truly am
[01:50] ---
Hello, yes, the first step
I take after nodding
[01:55] ---
Hello, yes, is toward
the yet-unseen horizon
[02:11] ---
This is fine, hearty grain.
[02:14] ---
"No Place of Joy Hath a Soldier"
Not even 5,000 of the Forbidden Army's
troops could eat it all, Weist Garreau.
[02:18] ---
A-Absolutely right. Altomura has no
intention of defying you, Your Highness.
[02:24] ---
Hmm...
[02:27] ---
So you are saying that you
will give it to us?
[02:30] ---
Y-Yes! We have no other option
but to implore Your Highness's mercy.
[02:35] ---
Very well. Then open your gates at once.
[02:39] ---
Y-Yes, about that... If you would
please wait just a bit longer...
[02:46] ---
Why?
[02:47] ---
The city is currently split
between two factions--
[02:49] ---
one that will not fight, and one
that will fight back to the last man.
[02:51] ---
That is why I have come out first,
to beg Your Highness's favor.
[02:56] ---
We can take Altomura at any time,
[02:58] ---
whether your stronghold is swayed or not.
[03:01] ---
Y-Yes, but there are many fools inside
who do not understand that.
[03:06] ---
I trust Your Highness does not wish
to lose any soldiers to these fools.
[03:09] ---
If you will guarantee my life,
I promise you--I promise you
[03:13] ---
that I will bring the opinions
of the stronghold together.
[03:17] ---
From times of old, it has been said
that it takes five times as many soldiers
[03:20] ---
to take an enemy fortress.
Like this one says,
[03:23] ---
there is no need to compromise
our soldiers for no reason.
[03:26] ---
Mm-hmm...
[03:29] ---
Very well.
[03:30] ---
If you will surrender your stronghold,
[03:32] ---
I will warrant the safety
of all those within.
[03:34] ---
Th-Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
[03:39] ---
Once the gates are open, the city is ours.
[03:42] ---
I'll take that double-crossing rat and
gibbet his head in front of the gates.
[03:47] ---
What are you worried about?
Carmine has 40,000 men on his side,
[03:50] ---
while the new King Souma has no
more than 10,000 at his disposal.
[03:54] ---
How is he going to send reinforcements
while engaging those 40,000?
[04:15] ---
Damn it!
[04:17] ---
The enemy is going at it
a little too hard, aren't they?
[04:19] ---
What else do you expect, Hal?
[04:21] ---
If you look at it from their side,
[04:22] ---
they woke up this morning to find
a fortress in front of their eyes.
[04:25] ---
It's only natural that they would panic.
[04:27] ---
Yeah, I guess.
[04:29] ---
When I heard about this Sunomata Project,
I was surprised, myself.
[04:33] ---
You have to hand it to His Majesty.
[04:35] ---
No sooner did talks break off
with the Three Dukes
[04:37] ---
than he ordered us 10,000 from
the Forbidden Army to mobilize.
[04:40] ---
I wouldn't have thought
that we could take up a position
[04:42] ---
outside Randel Castle
that same day, though.
[04:44] ---
That's Tomoe's rhinosaurus
land train for you.
[04:48] ---
Also, His Majesty's "two-by-four system"
is outstanding, as well.
[04:52] ---
The specs for the fort's
materials were standardized,
[04:54] ---
and then mass-produced
at the capital ahead of time.
[04:57] ---
Imagine road construction
and city building skills
[05:00] ---
coming in handy when building a fort.
[05:07] ---
Now to dish some of it out!
[05:15] ---
All right, one more!
[05:16] ---
Hal! The enemy is bringing
those into this!
[05:25] ---
This is pretty bad, isn't it?
[05:26] ---
Yes, this is pretty bad.
[05:29] ---
My anti-magic reinforcement only
works against magic and flames.
[05:33] ---
How will these Roman concrete and
dirt walls stand up to physical attacks--?
[05:46] ---
Wh-What do we do?!
[05:49] ---
You're asking me what we should do?
[05:58] ---
Kaede, can't you do anything
with your magic?!
[06:00] ---
I used up all of my
magic building the fort!
[06:14] ---
Hmm... easier than shooting
down a migrating falcon.
[06:20] ---
Who are you?
[06:22] ---
Why, forgive me for not
introducing myself earlier.
[06:25] ---
My name is Sur, and I am here
from the God-Protected Forest.
[06:30] ---
You saved my daughter when the
God-Protected Forest had its disaster--
[06:36] ---
I am so sorry I didn't get
to thank you for that.
[06:41] ---
But then, my rescued daughter
wants to be like you, Halbert,
[06:46] ---
and when she said she wanted to join
the Forbidden Army someday,
[06:49] ---
and be just like that man...
[06:51] ---
I found myself somewhat annoyed.
[06:59] ---
Open the gate!
[07:00] ---
Our targets are the three
cannons in front of us!
[07:03] ---
Pay no mind to the enemy soldiers!
[07:05] ---
Do not get in too deep!
Focus only on destroying the target!
[07:11] ---
Come on!
[07:13] ---
Let's show them that the Royal Guard
are more than just pretty faces!
[07:17] ---
Torch them!
[07:26] ---
Look at that!
[07:27] ---
Wow!
[07:28] ---
The other two are burning, too!
[07:30] ---
It's a huge success!
[07:33] ---
Yeah.
[07:41] ---
All three of them were destroyed...
[07:44] ---
Duke Carmine! How can
your army be so spineless?!
[07:48] ---
That's rich, coming from
a corrupt aristocrat
[07:50] ---
whose only talent is in amassing wealth.
[07:53] ---
I trust you haven't lost your nerve,
have you?
[07:56] ---
Ho...?
[07:59] ---
Who do you think could intimidate me?!
[08:03] ---
Are you sure that you
understand the situation?
[08:06] ---
The enemy number a mere 10,000.
We are 40,000.
[08:10] ---
What need do we have to force our attack?
[08:13] ---
In that case, should we not
take them down with one push?
[08:17] ---
That is what you just tried,
and were soundly routed!
[08:22] ---
Moreover, you took those cannons with you,
[08:24] ---
and got them destroyed, of all things!
[08:26] ---
W-We are very sorry about that.
[08:30] ---
There is no sign that Souma
is in that fort.
[08:33] ---
How can you say that for sure?
[08:35] ---
Ever since the fort was erected,
[08:36] ---
the Forbidden Army
has only fought defensively.
[08:39] ---
If he were there, he would surely
make some sort of move against us.
[08:43] ---
He is definitely out there
on the move somewhere.
[08:45] ---
Which is exactly why
we need to lure him out.
[08:48] ---
In other words, you're going to use
the fort's soldiers as bait?
[08:53] ---
Mm-hmm.
[08:54] ---
You men must be tired. This fight
will not be over in only a day or two.
[09:00] ---
You may take the day tomorrow
to rest comfortably.
[09:10] ---
Beowulf...
[09:12] ---
...is everything ready?
[09:14] ---
Yes, sir. Nothing has been left to chance.
[09:16] ---
Hmm.
[09:26] ---
It looks like rats will be rats.
[09:32] ---
Alert all forces!
Prepare to attack at once--
[09:42] ---
Wh-What is this?!
[09:44] ---
"Vargas Duchy, Red Dragon City: An area
under the control of Castor Vargas, general
of Elfrieden's air force. Guarded by an
elite unit of 1000 Wyvern Knights."
[09:47] ---
"Georg Carmine: Untalkative and stone-faced
about his thoughts. He has the presence
of a seasoned warrior, and values
propriety and loyalty."
[09:54] ---
Sir, the Lord of Altomura, Weist Garreau,
requests an urgent audience.
[09:59] ---
Let him through!
[10:00] ---
Yes, sir!
[10:08] ---
I-I am terribly sorry!
[10:10] ---
Weist! You promised me that you
would open the stronghold's gates!
[10:14] ---
It is taking time to persuade those
who have become desperate!
[10:19] ---
What?!
[10:20] ---
I don't want to hear any excuses!
[10:23] ---
I'll lop off your head and make
an example of you to everyone inside!
[10:27] ---
I-I am afraid, Your Highness, that
the voices you just heard from Altomura
[10:31] ---
are the war cries of the do-or-die
resistance faction.
[10:37] ---
Father, in a battle with soldiers
prepared to fight to the death,
[10:41] ---
our losses will be far too great.
[10:44] ---
You are absolutely correct.
[10:46] ---
Allow me to demonstrate my sincerity.
[10:52] ---
Please accept this gold dust. Also,
[10:55] ---
please show us Your Highness's
magnanimity.
[10:57] ---
I accept your sincerity. But what
do you mean, show my magnanimity?
[11:02] ---
Tomorrow! Tomorrow at noon--
[11:05] ---
until that tree's...
[11:07] ---
...shadow...
[11:09] ---
...reaches...
[11:11] ---
...this point...
[11:13] ---
I beg you to refrain from attacking!
[11:16] ---
I-I promise that this time--
[11:17] ---
this time, I will be able to convince
the others inside!
[11:22] ---
Why don't we take Weist at his word,
and show them some magnanimity?
[11:29] ---
Hmph, very well.
[11:31] ---
We will refrain from attacking
until noon tomorrow.
[11:34] ---
If the gates are not opened by then,
we will take the city by force.
[11:39] ---
Y-Yes, I assure you--I assure you,
[11:41] ---
I can convince those who are inside!
[11:47] ---
Are you sure this is for
the best, Walter--
[11:51] ---
I mean, Duchess Excel?
[11:53] ---
With that much gold,
[11:55] ---
we could have hired a whole
division of mercenaries from Zem.
[11:58] ---
Mercenaries are, after all, mercenaries.
[12:00] ---
They'll switch sides for more money.
[12:03] ---
I am currently engaging three
different foes. Time is my only ally.
[12:08] ---
If I can buy some of that,
then that much gold will not be missed.
[12:13] ---
You are still a child if you fail
to understand that.
[12:17] ---
I must say, this new king is quite
daunting, to send you as his messenger.
[12:22] ---
He really is a slave driver.
[12:25] ---
Out of the blue, he says,
"Go to Altomura."
[12:27] ---
I'll wager that Duke Vargas
and Duke Carmine
[12:29] ---
had no idea that you were attending
the conference from here.
[12:34] ---
That goes for Gaius, as well.
[12:37] ---
It takes three days to get here
from Lagoon City.
[12:39] ---
I had to make haste for three days!
[12:41] ---
His Majesty sure does drive
the elderly hard.
[12:44] ---
Please stop playing the "elderly" card
only when it suits you.
[12:47] ---
It's okay when it's self-deprecating.
[12:50] ---
But I absolutely forbid
anyone else to mention it.
[12:55] ---
By the way, Duchess Excel,
I only bought us until noon.
[12:59] ---
Will that be enough?
[13:01] ---
It's fine. If His Majesty doesn't make
his move by then, I'm afraid...
[13:07] ---
...we're going to die like heroes
inside this stronghold.
[13:21] ---
H-Hey, Kaede, what are you doing?
[13:26] ---
Hal, I'm so happy.
[13:29] ---
Huh? How come?
[13:31] ---
Because you're here by my side, Hal.
[13:36] ---
It all comes down to today and tomorrow.
If we can get through this...
[13:40] ---
If we can get through this...?
[13:45] ---
If we can get through this,
[13:47] ---
it would be nice if everything else
went well, too, huh?
[13:49] ---
Don't go diluting your hopes
at the end, there.
[13:51] ---
If you're going to take it this far,
then take it all the way.
[13:56] ---
So... be sure to protect me, okay, Hal?
[14:04] ---
The enemy's attack
is suddenly dropping off.
[14:07] ---
I don't see any mercenaries from Zem--
[14:09] ---
I told you to keep your head down!
[14:14] ---
Hmm, if they're changing formations,
[14:17] ---
it may mean that they're digging in
for a more drawn-out battle.
[14:20] ---
That would make life
a little easier for us.
[14:22] ---
Always keep on your toes
on the battlefield, Hal,
[14:25] ---
or the rug will be pulled out
from under you.
[14:27] ---
Yeah, I know.
[14:35] ---
Hmph, prepare to attack.
[14:39] ---
Messenger, alert all units to prepare
for an all-out assault!
[14:44] ---
Yes, sir!
[14:44] ---
Multiple wyverns approaching
from the sky to the east!
[14:48] ---
It's the air force!
[14:56] ---
Tch, it's Duke Vargas's air force!
[14:58] ---
Are they what the ground forces
have been waiting for?!
[15:10] ---
"The night before"
[15:16] ---
Master...
[15:18] ---
Tolman,
[15:20] ---
what's happening with the
evacuation of the citizens?
[15:22] ---
It is already complete.
[15:24] ---
Right now, the only ones
remaining in Red Dragon City
[15:28] ---
are the air force personnel and
those in the Vargas household.
[15:31] ---
I see. That's good to hear.
[15:35] ---
This new king, Souma... For being
so young, he's quite the standout.
[15:40] ---
Are you changing your mind
about him after all this?
[15:42] ---
Yes, I am. And it really is late, huh?
[15:46] ---
We have received requests
from air force units all over
[15:49] ---
asking to join your side.
[15:52] ---
Turn them all down. I won't have
them sharing in my obstinacy.
[15:58] ---
I thought you might say that. Are you
not joining up with Duke Carmine?
[16:03] ---
I don't mind fighting alongside him,
[16:05] ---
but I'm not about to stand shoulder
to shoulder with those corrupt nobles.
[16:10] ---
There's no turning back now,
nor do I intend to.
[16:13] ---
All that remains is to demonstrate
my mettle as leader of the air force.
[16:17] ---
Do I go out in a blaze of glory,
[16:19] ---
or do I chew through
their flank like a viper?
[16:23] ---
According to the scout patrol reports,
[16:25] ---
the Forbidden Army's 10,000 headed
toward the Carmine Duchy.
[16:29] ---
It is unclear whether or not
King Souma is with them,
[16:32] ---
but it appears that he has no more
manpower to send here.
[16:36] ---
What, is he ignoring us?
[16:38] ---
You have only the 100 knights,
so disregarding you is a possibility.
[16:44] ---
Ha! That's impossible.
[16:46] ---
Souma's smartest move
would be to defeat me first,
[16:50] ---
then take the air force with him
for a showdown with Duke Carmine.
[16:54] ---
However, realistically speaking,
he has no manpower to spare.
[16:59] ---
We don't know that.
[17:01] ---
He may come at us with
a move we aren't expecting.
[17:07] ---
Father!
[17:08] ---
Souma's force has been spotted!
[17:10] ---
They're here? How many of them?
[17:12] ---
That's just it...
[17:15] ---
...one ship.
[17:17] ---
Huh? What?
[17:41] ---
Father, the Battleship Albert
is heading this way!
[17:48] ---
They put wheels on it,
and are dragging it along overland?!
[17:52] ---
Is he planning to expend
his flagship right here?!
[17:55] ---
I didn't have any choice.
[17:57] ---
I'm already short enough
on military strength as it is.
[18:04] ---
A letter from King Souma just arrived,
[18:07] ---
requesting that you speak to him
via Gemstone Broadcast.
[18:11] ---
Mm-hmm.
[18:16] ---
Well?
[18:17] ---
Why have you brought
the Albert this far inland?
[18:20] ---
Hmph, why, to storm Red Dragon City,
of course.
[18:27] ---
The Albert is attacking!
[18:30] ---
Incoming fire!
[18:40] ---
Not bad at all! I never imagined
having a ship rolling over land.
[18:45] ---
You seem to like spectacular
gimmicks like this, huh?
[18:49] ---
Yeah, you might win my heart. You may
become a better king than I expected.
[18:54] ---
It's not too late; you could make
things easier by standing down.
[18:56] ---
Ha! After all this, I could never do
something as disgraceful as back down.
[19:03] ---
I see.
[19:05] ---
That truly is a shame, Castor.
[19:14] ---
Carla!
[19:16] ---
Go silence those annoying cannons!
[19:18] ---
Right!
[19:22] ---
Souma... if you really do have
what it takes to be the king...
[19:30] ---
...then prove yourself better than me.
[19:34] ---
Our target of attack
is the Battleship Albert!
[19:37] ---
Our capture objective is King Souma!
[19:40] ---
Let's impress upon him the valor
of the House of Vargas!
[19:49] ---
Here we go!
[19:55] ---
Prepare to drop bombs!
[20:03] ---
Fan out and evade!
[20:07] ---
Repeating bolt-throwers?!
[20:09] ---
Impossible! That's a fixed-base
defensive weapon!
[20:13] ---
Anti-air repeating bolt throwers
are only used to defend bases.
[20:16] ---
He took advantage of our preconceptions!
[20:20] ---
Damn, what do we do?
[20:22] ---
My Lady, we have no choice but
to attack the enemy's blind spot!
[20:25] ---
The enemy ship's wheels were hastily
improvised. That's where it's vulnerable.
[20:30] ---
All right, then we can approach
by flying at ultra-low altitude.
[20:34] ---
You all hear that?!
All units, move in at once
[20:36] ---
to neutralize the cannons, bolt throwers,
[20:39] ---
and any other weapons it has!
[20:41] ---
Wouldn't it be quicker
to pulverize the bridge?
[20:43] ---
Princess Liscia may be on the bridge.
[20:46] ---
As such, neutralizing
the weapons will suffice.
[20:49] ---
Be sure to take Souma alive!
[20:52] ---
Acknowledged!
[20:53] ---
Besides, if we kill Souma,
it's likely to upset Liscia.
[20:59] ---
But if that's a consideration,
[21:01] ---
I should have tried
to talk Father out of this.
[21:09] ---
And then...
[21:15] ---
...I should have come under
his rule, and supported him.
[21:20] ---
Well, it's too late for that now.
[21:43] ---
It's too quiet in there.
[21:45] ---
No sightings of any enemy soldiers.
[21:47] ---
Somebody had to be
controlling the cannons.
[21:50] ---
We found what we suspect
to be a suit of armor,
[21:53] ---
but there was a puppet hand inside it!
[21:57] ---
Hurry back to the castle!
[21:59] ---
But we still haven't located Souma.
[22:01] ---
He isn't on the ship.
He lured us away very nicely.
[22:06] ---
Lured away?
[22:08] ---
You don't mean his real objective was...
[22:15] ---
Father, who's still in Red Dragon City!
[22:18] ---
The wind blowing by rushes
through the world,
[22:22] ---
connecting us when otherwise
we never would have met
[22:27] ---
Unfurling wings that no one else can see,
[22:31] ---
I take flight in search of a miracle
that no one else can find
[22:44] ---
Seeking the courage to keep on choosing
[22:48] ---
the outcome of an ever-meandering morrow,
[22:52] ---
I never want to fear change
[22:56] ---
or doubt the blueness of the sky
[23:01] ---
More than any dreams I once had
[23:03] ---
and beyond any future I've imagined,
[23:05] ---
I want to keep on drifting along
[23:09] ---
within this transcendentally beautiful
moment I'm spending with you
[23:13] ---
If I can make that come true...
[23:17] ---
I shoot up through the blue
to the sky where we connect
[23:22] ---
Grasp my destiny and reel it in
[23:26] ---
And through our joined hands,
[23:30] ---
you feel my helpless wish for eternity
[23:35] ---
Even if this is only an illusion
[23:37] ---
taking place within someone's dream,
[23:39] ---
I'll still take this blowing wind
[23:41] ---
and hold on tight as I take flight
