[00:08] Na
    After losing three of its fleets
    as a result of a major offensive
[00:13] Na
    launched by the Imperial Navy
    under Reinhard von Lohengramm,
SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Navy 3rd Fleet
[00:16] Na
    the Alliance Navy chose the
    Amritsar Starzone as a new battlefield
SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Navy 9th Fleet
[00:20] Na
    and had all of its surviving
    fleets gather there.
[00:26] Na
    While all the other fleets
    sustained heavy damages,
SIGN    Free Planets Alliance Navy 5th Fleet
[00:30] Na
    the 13th Fleet, led by Yang,
    still retained about 90% of its fighting strength.

[02:18] Bewcock
    Per our orders from headquarters,
    the minefield has been laid behind us.
[02:23] Yang
    I appreciate it.
[02:26] Bewcock
    That should stop any pincer
    attacks from our rear...
[02:29] Yang
    But our backs are literally to the wall.
SIGN    13th Fleet Commander
    Vice Admiral Yang Wen-li
[02:31] Yang
    We've left ourselves no escape route.
SIGN    5th Fleet Commander
    Vice Admiral Alexandre Bewcock
[02:34] Bewcock
    This is no laughing matter.
[02:37] Bewcock
    By the way, are the survivors from the
    10th Fleet under your command now?
[02:43] Yang
    Yes. I've certainly developed a talent
    for dealing with loss, at least.
[02:47] Yang
    Honestly, what did I do to
    deserve such hardship?
[02:51] Bewcock
    You're starting to sound
    like Yusuf the Complainer.
[02:56] Yang
    Though most of its ships have been damaged,
[02:58] Yang
    the surviving forces from the
    10th Fleet will be essential
[03:02] Yang
    when we carry out our plan.
[03:05] Bewcock
    We must be grateful to Admiral Ulanhu.
[03:10] Bewcock
    Well, Admiral, I'll see
    you on the battlefield.
[03:13] Yang
    Yes.
[03:16] Dusty
    I'm going to head back to my ship now.
[03:20] Yang
    Attenborough, I'm glad you're here.
[03:24] Dusty
    Well, someone has to look
    after you, you know.
SIGN    13th Fleet Division Commander
    Commodore Dusty Attenborough
[03:30] Dusty
    I'll be going, then.
[03:37] Frederica
    Admiral, Commodore Fischer reports
SIGN    13th Fleet Adjutant
    Sub-lieutenant Frederica Greenhill
[03:40] Frederica
    that the mobilization plan for the
    surviving fleets is complete.
[03:44] Yang
    Thank you. That was fast.
[03:47] Frederica
    Also, you should really
    eat something, Admiral.
[03:51] Yang
    Sorry, but I don't have any appetite.
[03:53] Yang
    I'd rather have a glass of brandy.
[03:56] Frederica
    Didn't Julian tell you
    that you drink too much?
[04:00] Yang
    What? You and Julian are
    ganging up on me now?
[04:04] Frederica
    Admiral!
[04:06] Guy
    Patrol craft 09 has
    detected an enemy fleet!
[04:09] Guy
    It's heading toward us in close formation!
[04:18] Yang
    You heard the alert, everyone.
[04:21] Yang
    All hands to battle stations, condition one.
[04:23] Guy
    Roger.
[04:25] Guy
    All hands to battle
    stations, condition one!
[04:25] Yang
    Sub-lieutenant, if we survive this,
    I'll eat healthy for the rest of my life.

    Reuenthal, Mittermeyer,

    and all other admirals' fleets have
    arrived at their designated sectors.
[04:43] Paul
    The enemy appears to be organizing
    behind some mined-out asteroids

[04:47] Paul
    that were abandoned in the days
    of the Galactic Federation.
[04:51] Reinhard
    Is that why they chose Amritsar
    for their battleground?
[04:54] Paul
    It seems likely.
[05:00] Reinhard
    Feuer.
[05:15] Murai
    The enemy attacks are focused
    on the 3rd and 8th Fleets,
[05:19] Murai
    the ones stationed in the vicinity of the asteroid mines.
[05:22] Yang
    It makes sense to aim where
    there are the fewest targets.
[05:25] Yang
    All ships, advance.
[05:27] Yang
    We'll draw their attention.
[05:30] Yang
    Send a message to Admiral Bewcock.
[05:32] Frederica
    Yes, sir.

    Enemy's 5th Fleet flagship,

[05:42] Bewcock
    Damn kids, pushing their elders
    around like slaves...
[05:45] Wolfgang
    All ships, change target
    to enemy's 5th Fleet.
[05:52] Guy
    We've taken a hit to our right flank!
[05:54] Guy
    It appears to be a new enemy force!
[05:57] Adjutant
    Attack sustained from our right flank.
[05:59] Adjutant
    It's the 13th Fleet.
[06:03] Wolfgang
    They attacked in the brief moment we were
    preoccupied with changing targets...
[06:07] Wolfgang
    Impressive.
[06:09] Wolfgang
    It seems the enemy has someone on their
    side who excels at commanding fleets.
SIGN    13th Fleet Vice Commander
    Commodore Edwin Fischer
[06:14] Wolfgang
    All ships, withdraw for now.
[06:17] Wolfgang
    We will regroup.
[06:19] Murai
    The enemy fleet is withdrawing.
[06:22] Yang
    It benefits us as well,
    when the enemy is so capable.

    new enemy fleet approaching!

[06:49] Paul
    Our navy is overwhelming the
    enemy in all theaters.
[06:56] Reinhard
    It looks like we've won.
[06:59] Yang
    It looks like we've lost.
[07:07] Fritz
    Our next quarry will be the
    notorious Yang Wen-li's fleet.
[07:12] Fritz
    If we defeat him, any reward we desire will be ours.
[07:16] Fritz
    Glory will be ours!
[07:18] Fritz
    The goddess of victory is flashing
    her underwear at all of you!
[07:27] Fyodor
    Admiral, they're coming!
[07:29] Yang
    Increase shields to max output.
[07:32] Yang
    Attack while withdrawing in sync
    with the enemy's advance.
[07:40] Yang
    Adjust our retreat speed.
[07:42] Yang
    Just slow enough that they think they have us.
    Tease their commanders.
[07:48] Eugen
    The enemy is keeping a cleverly
    calculated distance.
[07:50] Eugen
    We have dealt almost no damage at all.
[07:53] Fritz
    Halt all fire!
[07:55] Fritz
    Deploy all Walküres!
[07:57] Fritz
    We will take control of this sector!
[08:08] Guy
    Enemy carrier-based crafts
    approaching at high speed!
[08:11] Fyodor
    Admiral!
[08:12] Yang
    Not yet. We need to draw
    them as close as possible.
[08:15] Guy
    They're right on top of us!
[08:17] Yang
    All destroyers to small target defense.
[08:20] Yang
    Have our capital ships divert all power
    from the shields to the cannons.
[08:23] Murai
    Isn't that a dangerous move?
[08:26] Yang
    Don't worry.
[08:28] Yang
    Fire!
[08:36] Fritz
    What are you doing?!
[08:37] Fritz
    Counter with our own ships' guns!
[08:40] Eugen
    We can't.
[08:41] Fritz
    Why not?!
[08:42] Eugen
    If we fire now, we'll hit the Walküres.
[08:46] Eugen
    The enemy knows that we can't fire back.
[08:54] Guy
    Incoming message from Admiral Bittenfeld.
[08:57] Guy
    "Immediate backup requested."
[08:59] Reinhard
    Backup?
[09:01] Reinhard
    Does he think I have a magic lamp
[09:03] Reinhard
    from which I can produce
    new fleets on command?
[09:08] Reinhard
    Send a message to the Bittenfeld Fleet.
[09:10] Reinhard
    I have no spare forces to send.
[09:12] Reinhard
    He is to carry out his duty as a soldier
    with the forces available to him.
[09:16] Guy
    Yes, sir.
[09:19] Reinhard
    Kircheis still isn't here?
[09:22] Paul
    Is Your Excellency worried about him?
[09:25] Reinhard
    I'm not worried.
[09:27] Paul
    I'd wager Admiral Kircheis has already
SIGN    Directional Seffle Particle Discharge Devices
[09:29] Paul
    navigated the special ops craft into
    position and begun the operation by now.
[09:38] Guy
    The Seffle particles have penetrated
    the enemy's minefield.
SIGN    Vice Admiral Siegfried Kircheis
[09:41] Kircheis
    Ignite immediately.
[09:55] Guy
    Enemy fleet to our rear!
[09:56] Guy
    They number approximately 30,000!
[09:59] Bewcock
    They got through the minefield
    we left behind us?!
[10:04] Yang
    An ambush led by the tactician
    in that red ship...
[10:08] Yang
    I was wondering where he was.
[10:11] Murai
    What shall we do, Admiral?
[10:13] Yang
    Indeed...
[10:15] Yang
    If we're going to run, we should take
    as many allies with us as possible.
[10:19] Yang
    I'll give it my best effort.
[10:22] Guy
    The Reuenthal Fleet is performing
    search-and-destroy on the enemy's 9th Fleet.
[10:26] Guy
    The Mittermeyer Fleet
[10:28] Guy
    has disabled all organized enemy
    activity in the area of operation.
[10:32] Reinhard
    Order to all forces.
[10:34] Reinhard
    Switch from pincer formation
    to encirclement.
[10:36] Reinhard
    Don't let a single soldier escape.
[10:38] Paul
    Shall our own ship advance
    as well, Your Excellency?
[10:42] Reinhard
    No, I don't think so.
[10:44] Reinhard
    They'd say I was trying to steal
    the glory from my subordinates.
[10:57] Paul
    The Bittenfeld Fleet appears
    to be low in number...
[11:03] Paul
    If the encirclement is incomplete,
    we'll be giving the enemy an escape route.
[11:07] Paul
    Unlike before, we now have forces to spare.
[11:12] Paul
    We should send backup
    to Admiral Bittenfeld.
[11:16] Reinhard
    Damn that Bittenfeld...
[11:18] Reinhard
    His failures always ruin things for us.
[11:23] Guy
    Message from command.
[11:24] Guy
    Admiral Kircheis is to provide backup
    to the Schwarz Lanzenreiter immediately.
[11:32] Guy
    The enemy fleet behind us has
    deployed to our left flank!
[11:37] Murai
    They're trying to fill the
    gap in their encirclement.
[11:40] Guy
    Urgent encrypted transmission
    from Commodore Attenborough.
[11:44] Dusty
    Sorry for the wait.
    We're ready to carry out the plan.
[11:49] Yang
    Begin at once.

    Unmanned Special Attack Force
[12:06] Guy
    Part of the enemy fleet is
    moving to our right flank!
[12:10] Fritz
    Don't let them get past us!
[12:11] Fritz
    Expand the encirclement to our right!
[12:14] Kircheis
    No!
[12:15] Yang
    Proceed to stage two of the plan.
[12:19] Guy
    Message from Admiral Kircheis.
[12:21] Guy
    "The enemies to the right are a diversion.
[12:23] Guy
    Maintain formation until my fleet arrives."
[12:27] Fritz
    What?!
[12:28] Guy
    Enemy sighted in front of us!
[12:31] Guy
    But... what is this?!
[12:37] Guy
    The mined-out asteroids are coming
    toward us at high speed!
[12:41] Eugen
    What?!
[12:46] Dusty
    I've done my part, old friend.
[12:55] Eugen
    Our encirclement...
[13:01] Yang
    No need to think about anything else.
[13:04] Yang
    Hit that fleet of black ships
    with all the force we have.
[13:20] Eugen
    We've lost over 70% of our fleet!
[13:24] Fritz
    And what of it?
[13:26] Eugen
    Admiral...
[13:27] Fritz
    We will defend this sector with our lives!
[13:30] Fritz
    Down to the last man, if we must!
[13:32] Eugen
    You mustn't!
[13:33] Eugen
    Our fleet is the weak link in the encirclement.
[13:37] Eugen
    As its admiral, it is your duty to
    report to the commander-in-chief.
[13:41] Eugen
    Or will you put an end to the history
    of the Schwarz Lanzenreiter here?
[13:53] Na
    The second major battle of the invasion,
    which took place in the Amritsar star zone,
[13:57] Na
    ended with an overwhelming advantage
    for the Imperial Navy.
[14:01] Na
    However, due to the efforts of the Alliance
    commanders, with Yang at their center,
[14:06] Na
    they failed to complete their encirclement,
[14:11] Na
    and the surviving Alliance fleets
    just barely succeeded in escaping.
[14:16] Wolfgang
    I guess the rebels have some pretty
    impressive men in their ranks, too.
[14:21] Oskar
    Yes. I look forward to the
    day we meet them again.
SIGN    Vice Admiral Oskar von Reuenthal
[14:25] Oskar
    But I doubt that will happen for some time.
[14:28] Wolfgang
    True.
[14:30] Wolfgang
    I'd say they've lost both the will and the
    strength to attempt another invasion.
[15:15] Reinhard
    I'd like to say that you
    fought bravely as well,
[15:18] Reinhard
    but I cannot.
[15:20] Fritz
    Yes, sir!
[15:21] Reinhard
    I'm sure you know why.
[15:23] Reinhard
    In your haste to achieve success,
[15:25] Reinhard
    you recklessly rushed forward
    when you should not have.
[15:28] Reinhard
    As a result, your fleet
    suffered great losses,
[15:31] Reinhard
    and our perfect victory was lost because
    our encirclement was incomplete.
[15:35] Reinhard
    Do you object to anything I've said?
[15:38] Fritz
    I do not.
[15:41] Reinhard
    Our military is founded upon its
    rules of reward and punishment.
[15:44] Reinhard
    Once we return to Odin, I will see
    that you are held responsible.
[15:49] Reinhard
    You are confined to your quarters.
[15:51] Reinhard
    Dismissed.
[16:05] Paul
    You are a capable man,
[16:07] Paul
    but you shouldn't assume your
    friendship with Count Lohengramm
[16:11] Paul
    gives you any kind of privilege.
[16:14] Paul
    A ruler should not let personal
    feelings influence his decisions.
[16:25] Kircheis
    Your Excellency, please reconsider.
[16:29] Reinhard
    Why are you trying to stop me?
[16:31] Reinhard
    Bittenfeld failed to fulfill his duty!
[16:34] Reinhard
    Why shouldn't he be punished?!
[16:37] Kircheis
    Your Excellency, are you angry?
[16:39] Reinhard
    Am I wrong to be angry?!
[16:42] Kircheis
    What I'm asking is what your anger is
    directed toward, Your Excellency.
[16:48] Reinhard
    Stop calling me that.
[16:50] Reinhard
    What are you trying to say, Kircheis?
[16:53] Kircheis
    Then, Reinhard...
[16:56] Kircheis
    Could it be that the one you
    are angry with is yourself?
[17:02] Kircheis
    Admiral Bittenfeld is merely a victim
    of your own misplaced anger.
[17:10] Kircheis
    Are you that upset to be the one
    who gave Admiral Yang his fame?
[17:14] Reinhard
    Yes!
[17:15] Reinhard
    You're damn right I'm upset!
[17:17] Reinhard
    I managed to put up with it at Astarte,
[17:19] Reinhard
    but twice in a row is too much!
[17:22] Reinhard
    He always shows up right when
    my victory should be assured
[17:26] Reinhard
    and gets in my way!
[17:28] Kircheis
    He must have his reasons
    to be upset, as well.
[17:31] Kircheis
    I'm sure he wonders
[17:32] Kircheis
    why he couldn't face you on equal
    footing from the very beginning.
[17:39] Kircheis
    You have already made two powerful enemies:
[17:43] Kircheis
    Admiral Yang in front of you,
    and the pure-blood nobility behind you.
[17:48] Kircheis
    You cannot afford to make enemies
    of your own men.
[17:56] Reinhard
    Fine.
[17:58] Reinhard
    I was wrong.
[18:01] Reinhard
    I won't seek punishment for Bittenfeld.
[18:04] Reinhard
    Would you inform him of that?
[18:07] Kircheis
    No, I can't do that.
[18:11] Reinhard
    You're right. It means nothing
    if I don't tell him myself.
[18:19] Reinhard
    Kircheis...
[18:21] Kircheis
    Yes, Reinhard?
[18:25] Reinhard
    Do you think I am capable of
    conquering the universe?
[18:30] Kircheis
    If you are not capable of
    conquering it, no one is.
[18:59] Yang
    Forgive me for looking like
    this in a lady's presence.
[19:02] Frederica
    Don't mind me. Would you like some tea?
[19:05] Yang
    Yes... with plenty of brandy
    in it, if possible.
[19:09] Frederica
    Of course.
[19:11] Yang
    Sub-lieutenant...
[19:13] Yang
    I've studied a bit of history.
[19:17] Yang
    And I learned that,
[19:19] Yang
    in human society, there are
    two ways of thinking.
[19:23] Yang
    There's the idea that there exists
    something more valuable than life
[19:27] Yang
    and the idea that nothing is
    more valuable than life.
[19:31] Yang
    When people begin to fight,
    they claim the former,
[19:35] Yang
    and when they stop, they claim the latter.
[19:38] Yang
    This has been true for hundreds...
    no, thousands of years.
[19:44] Yang
    Will it continue to be the
    case for thousands more?
[19:49] Frederica
    Admiral...
[19:52] Yang
    No, humanity as a whole
    doesn't matter to me.
[19:57] Yang
    I just wonder if there's anything I can do
[19:59] Yang
    that will make all the blood
    I've shed worthwhile.
[20:06] Yang
    Sorry... Pay no attention to me.
[20:09] Frederica
    No, it's all right.
[20:11] Frederica
    A bit of brandy in your tea, was it?
[20:14] Yang
    A lot of it.
[20:16] Frederica
    Right, a lot of it.
