[00:31] ---
    Wh-Who are you?
[00:42] ---
    Charge!
[00:43] ---
    Kick their ass!
[00:48] ---
    Wh-What are you...
[00:50] ---
    You aren't on our side?
[00:57] ---
    Who is that group of soldiers?
[01:01] ---
    That's...
[02:34] ---
    Ray of Light
[02:39] ---
    Dude, that's awesome!
[02:43] ---
    That's gross!
[03:31] ---
    I can't collapse now.
[03:46] ---
    Alice?
[03:47] ---
    Don't overdo it, Asuna.
    Leave the rest to us, the Integrity Knights.
[03:52] ---
    But those red soldiers are from the real world.
[03:56] ---
    They're enemies who came from my world.
[04:02] ---
    Even so, if they're merely a bloodthirsty lot,
    haphazardly flailing their swords,
[04:08] ---
    there's nothing to fear
    even if there are thousands of them.
[04:10] ---
    Exactly!
[04:12] ---
    How about sharing a little bit of the glory?
[04:24] ---
    Everyone. Thank you.
[04:29] ---
    All right!
[04:32] ---
    All troops, form a phalanx!
    We're going for a single-point breakthrough!
[04:58] ---
    I-I have to inform the emperor
    that we're aborting the mission.
[05:30] ---
    Ch-Champion!
[05:47] ---
    Ch-Champ...
[05:57] ---
    The emperor didn't give us any orders
    regarding those red soldiers.
[06:03] ---
    Isn't that right?
[06:04] ---
    Yes, that's correct, but...
[06:06] ---
    Then if we were to slaughter them,
    it would have nothing to do with the emperor.
[06:13] ---
    Champion.
[06:16] ---
    Listen. Once a bridge goes up over the valley,
    charge in with the entire army.
[06:21] ---
    Whatever it takes,
    you have to rescue our people on the other side!
[06:24] ---
    Huh? Bridge? How—
[06:27] ---
    It's obvious.
[06:30] ---
    Ask someone who can do it.
[06:38] ---
    If I can't cross the ropes,
[06:43] ---
    then I'll just have to jump it myself!
[06:54] ---
    Champion!
[07:14] ---
    Damn it!
[07:47] ---
    Stop.
[07:49] ---
    Stop.
[07:52] ---
    Stop!
[08:07] ---
    Take this!
[08:33] ---
    They're all weak.
[08:35] ---
    A person from the Dark Territory?
[08:49] ---
    Amazing.
[08:53] ---
    Let's make a deal.
[08:54] ---
    Deal?
[08:58] ---
    Yes. You're the one who made those fissures
    and that giant chasm, right?
[09:03] ---
    Yes.
[09:04] ---
    Listen. Put a bridge across the crack behind me.
    It can be narrow, as long as it's sturdy.
[09:08] ---
    Do that, and my 4,000 pugilists will fight with you
    until we annihilate every one of those red soldiers.
[09:15] ---
    The Dark Territory Army will fight with us?
[09:20] ---
    I don't think this man would lie.
[09:29] ---
    All right.
[09:31] ---
    I'll build a bridge over the chasm.
[10:17] ---
    They're...
[10:18] ---
    anomalies!
[10:22] ---
    Move.
[10:24] ---
    Move!
[10:34] ---
    System Call.
[10:38] ---
    Discharge!
[10:44] ---
    I'll incinerate them
    all at once from the top of that hill!
[10:47] ---
    Move!
[10:49] ---
    Little one, don't run off by...
[10:59] ---
    Little one!
[11:02] ---
    Enhance Arma...
[11:09] ---
    You bastard!
    What are you doing to my apprentice?
[11:17] ---
    Get out of the way!
[11:19] ---
    Release Recollection!
[11:24] ---
    Knight Commander, please go!
[11:27] ---
    Sorry! I'll leave the rest to you!
[11:42] ---
    Go!
[12:18] ---
    Amazing.
[12:20] ---
    Being impressed isn't going to cut it.
[12:23] ---
    If we do make it south,
    what are we going to do then?
[12:27] ---
    Defeating that many enemies
    might be difficult, even for us.
[12:32] ---
    When you break through the enemy lines
    and make it south,
[12:34] ---
    keep advancing,
    and distance yourselves from the enemy.
[12:38] ---
    I'll create another fissure
    and isolate the enemy.
[12:42] ---
    A message! A message!
[12:45] ---
    Integrity Knight Alice has been carried away
    by the enemy commander on his dragon!
[12:49] ---
    The dragon seems to have flown to the south.
[12:52] ---
    Wh...
[12:53] ---
    Did you say the emperor flew away?
[12:57] ---
    So he wasn't just looking on
    as a spectator earlier?
[13:00] ---
    Hey, woman!
[13:01] ---
    Alice is the Priestess of Light, isn't she?
[13:03] ---
    Why does the emperor want her so badly?
[13:06] ---
    What's going to happen
    if the emperor captures the Priestess of Light?
[13:12] ---
    This world will be destroyed.
[13:16] ---
    When the Dark God Vecta seizes Alice,
    the Priestess of Light,
[13:20] ---
    and reaches the World End's Altar,
[13:22] ---
    this world, both the Human Empire
    and the Dark Territory,
[13:25] ---
    will be returned to nothingness.
[13:32] ---
    Dragons can't fly forever.
[13:35] ---
    The most they can fly
    without a break is half a day.
[13:39] ---
    Then it looks like you'll have to put
    your spirit into it and give chase, right?
[13:42] ---
    "Give chase"? But you...
[13:46] ---
    Aren't you with the Dark Territory Army?
    Why would you say that?
[13:50] ---
    Emperor Vecta told us, the council of ten,
    in so many words,
[13:56] ---
    that all he was after was the Priestess of Light.
[14:00] ---
    The moment he flew away with the priestess,
    the emperor's goal was achieved.
[14:04] ---
    In other words,
[14:06] ---
    whatever we do now,
[14:09] ---
    even if it's helping the Human Empire Army
    steal back the priestess from the emperor,
[14:15] ---
    it's our choice.
[14:18] ---
    Isn't that right?
[14:21] ---
    I... We... can't defy the emperor directly.
[14:26] ---
    If the emperor gives us another order
    to fight all of you,
[14:31] ---
    we have to obey.
[14:33] ---
    So we, the pugilists guild,
    will stop the red soldiers here.
[14:37] ---
    I want you and the Human Empire Army
    to go after the emperor.
[14:41] ---
    And then tell the emperor... that bastard...
[14:47] ---
    Let that bastard know!
[14:49] ---
    That we're not his damned puppets!
[14:56] ---
    All right!
[14:58] ---
    Everyone! Hold that breach!
[15:03] ---
    And you two get out of here.
    We can only hold out for so long.
[15:08] ---
    Thank you.
[15:09] ---
    I will remain here, too.
[15:12] ---
    Understood. Please take care of the rearguard.
[15:22] ---
    Are you sure about this, woman?
[15:24] ---
    I already told you my name.
[15:27] ---
    Are you sure about this, Sheyta?
    There's no guarantee that you'll live through this.
[15:31] ---
    I'll be the one to slash you.
[15:33] ---
    They can't have you.
[15:36] ---
    Whatever!
[15:40] ---
    All right! Come on, everyone,
    show me some fire!
[15:46] ---
    Circular formation!
[15:47] ---
    All-around defense!
[15:49] ---
    Any morons that come near us, give them hell!
[15:54] ---
    You're fired up, huh, Champion?
[15:59] ---
    Yeah!
[16:00] ---
    Tuesday, July 7, 2026 6:01 AM Ocean Turtle
[16:09] ---
    Oh, hey! You're awake, huh?
[16:12] ---
    I figured your brain cells got fried up.
[16:15] ---
    Shut up.
[16:17] ---
    That's right.
[16:19] ---
    I fell into a bottomless hole, and...
[16:23] ---
    How exactly did you die over there?
[16:26] ---
    You've been out for eight hours!
[16:29] ---
    E-Eight hours?
[16:32] ---
    Don't be so surprised.
[16:35] ---
    Don't worry. At the time of your death in there,
    the acceleration rate went down to 1:1.
[16:41] ---
    D-Did you say 1:1?
[16:43] ---
    Hey! You know what that means,
    right, Four Eyes?
[16:47] ---
    Twelve hours from now,
    the JSDF command is going to attack this place.
[16:52] ---
    Yeah I know.
[16:53] ---
    These are all Captain Miller's orders.
[16:57] ---
    Right now, I'm sending U.S. players
    into the Dark Territory via a satellite connection.
[17:04] ---
    What?
[17:08] ---
    This is the movement log
    for you and the captain.
[17:12] ---
    Right now, the captain's gone past where you died,
    and is heading further south.
[17:16] ---
    And he's left behind the entire Dark Territory forces
    in the north. He's going solo.
[17:21] ---
    What that means is...
[17:23] ---
    He's either chasing Alice,
    or has already captured her, huh?
[17:28] ---
    Yeah, but there's one problem. Look at this.
[17:34] ---
    What's marked in red
    is the horde of U.S. players.
[17:37] ---
    And the black part surrounded by the red
    is the Dark Territory Army.
[17:42] ---
    The problem is this white group here,
    or what's barely left of it, that is.
[17:47] ---
    That's the Human Empire Army.
    There're at least 700 of them.
[17:50] ---
    If they catch up to the captain,
    it's going to be a pain.
[17:53] ---
    I have to stop them somehow.
[17:56] ---
    Stop them, sure, but how?
[18:01] ---
    These are the U.S. players
    waiting for the second connection.
[18:05] ---
    Once it hits 20,000, I'm going to flood
    the Human Empire Army's position with them.
[18:09] ---
    That's twenty-eight times the combat power.
    They'll be crushed instantly!
[18:13] ---
    And then I'll set the acceleration rate
    back to 1,000:1.
[18:16] ---
    That should give the captain plenty of time
[18:19] ---
    to capture Alice and reach
    the southernmost system console.
[18:24] ---
    I hope it'll go that smoothly.
[18:27] ---
    The Human Empire Army
    is tougher than you think.
[18:30] ---
    Those Integrity Knights are especially insane.
[18:34] ---
    They did mow down
    the entire first wave of the Dark Territory Army.
[18:38] ---
    Otherwise, I never would've been defeated
    in such a... shameful...
[18:45] ---
    Lightning Flash.
[18:47] ---
    That's right! There's no mistaking it.
[18:49] ---
    It was definitely that woman!
[18:51] ---
    Huh? What are you saying?
[18:54] ---
    Hey, you stupid geek!
[18:56] ---
    Those Rath guys holed up in the second control room
    are doing the same thing as us!
[19:01] ---
    There's a Japanese VRMMO player
    mixed in with the Human Empire Army!
[19:06] ---
    What?
[19:07] ---
    If Lightning Flash Asuna is there,
    that could mean that he did a dive, too.
[19:13] ---
    Are you serious?
    I can't just sit here like this!
[19:16] ---
    Hey! I'm going back in!
[19:19] ---
    Send me to the white group's location
    at the same time as the 20,000 reinforcements.
[19:23] ---
    Even if you want to go back, there's no dark knight
    account anymore since you wasted it.
[19:28] ---
    If you're okay with one of the reinforcement's
    grunt account, I have plenty of those.
[19:32] ---
    I have an account. A real special one!
[20:20] ---
    I leave the rest in your hands.
[20:27] ---
    Oh no. Sir Renly is sacrificing himself
    to break through.
[20:31] ---
    Don't!
[21:11] ---
    It can't shoot rapid-fire?
[21:12] ---
    That's fine.
[21:14] ---
    Single-shot weapons
    are more fitting for me, anyway.
[21:34] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Asuna.
[21:44] ---
    Shino-non!
[23:36] ---
    Next time: The Great Underworld War.
