**[00:49] Deputy Commander**
Three hostiles at 1 o'clock!
**[00:56] Deputy Commander**
Four more at 9 o'clock!
**[01:01] Deputy Commander**
Rear, sitrep!
**[01:04] Veteran A**
All green, sir!
**[01:05] Deputy Commander**
Commander Dren.
**[01:08] Dren**
All right. Let's keep going.
**[01:11] Deputy Commander**
Resume march!
**[01:18] Ivano**
Man... We're the Zemurian
continent's largest jaeger corps,
**[01:23] Ivano**
the almighty Northern Jaegers, y'know?
**[01:25] Ivano**
Why the hell do we gotta play delivery boys?
**[01:28] Tak**
Suck it up.
**[01:30] Tak**
If we keep this pace up, we can
make it to Haliask tomorrow.
**[01:34] Ivano**
Whew, I'd die for some pipin'
hot northern borscht right now.
**[01:39] Ivano**
We ain't gainin' much experience
beating up scrubs with these greenhorns.
**[01:43] Ivano**
Especially this one right here...
**[01:48] Ivano**
who hasn't even been with us half a year!
**[01:51] Tak**
Oh? And they're already out on the battle
lines, if only for an escort mission?
**[01:56] Tak**
What is this, the second coming
of the prodigious Purple Lightning?
**[02:02] Ivano**
I was stuck cleaning toilets half a year in!
**[02:09] Tak**
Oh, come on.
**[02:10] Tak**
You were being disciplined
for slacking off on your drills.
**[02:24] Ivano**
Grr!
**[02:25] Ivano**
Hey, rook! Can't you show some respect?!
**[02:26] Tak**
Hey, hey.
**[02:28] Tak**
You're not kids anymore.
**[02:29] Ivano**
Stay right—
**[02:30] Tak**
Give it a res—
**[02:34] Deputy Commander**
Ivano! Tak!
**[02:37] Ivano**
Dude, what?
**[02:39] Tak**
It's no big deal.
**[02:40] Ivano;Tak**
Right?
**[02:51] Dren**
Let it go, Deputy Commander.
**[02:54] Dren**
They may look hopeless, but they can
be counted on when it comes down to it.
**[03:01] Ivano**
Get a load of Dren, actin' all bossy.
**[03:03] Ivano**
Didn't he enlist at the same time as us?
**[03:06] Ivano**
Well, if I got serious, I could outrank him
and order him around in a heartbeat.
**[03:12] Tak**
Man, it's been 8 years since you joined,
**[03:14] Tak**
and you're doing delivery
missions with rooks.
**[03:17] Tak**
Wake up.
**[03:19] Ivano**
This stuff we're delivering...
**[03:21] Ivano**
It's just relief supplies
for civilians, right?
**[03:23] Ivano**
Why does it need so much security?
**[03:25] Tak**
Don't ask me.
**[03:27] Tak**
It has to be because Erebonia
and Calvard are butting heads, right?
**[03:31] Tak**
You heard about the annexation of Crossbell?
**[03:33] Ivano**
If I knew I'd be stuck
doing boring shit like this,
**[03:36] Ivano**
I would've volunteered for the recon corps.
**[03:39] Tak**
Wha?
**[03:40] Tak**
That mission's being led
by Rogan and the radicals.
**[03:44] Tak**
They're total warmongers, man.
**[03:46] Ivano**
Listen, I crave the true jaeger life.
**[03:48] Ivano**
I need the hair-raising life-or-death battles,
thrills, shocking events, and suspense!
**[03:55] Tak**
Anywhere Rogan goes,
he leaves nothing in his wake.
**[03:58] Tak**
Not monsters, not people,
not even vegetation.
**[04:01] Tak**
That's what gave him the moniker...
**[04:03] Tak**
"The Aurora Phenomenon."
**[04:06] Ivano**
Hear that, rook? Ain't it something?
**[04:09] Ivano**
Rogan now holds the most
influence in the jaeger corps.
**[04:12] Ivano**
Some young'uns are even
calling it the birth of a new hero!
**[04:18] Tak**
You know how we Northern Jaegers
number more than 10,000,
**[04:22] Tak**
with Master Glark at the top?
**[04:25] Tak**
Rogan is one of the few who
can go toe-to-toe with the boss.
**[04:30] Ivano**
Which means...
**[04:31] Ivano**
Under Rogan, my potential will be unleashed.
**[04:35] Ivano**
I can show what I can do when I'm serious...
**[04:36] Ivano**
My 100 percent full power!
**[04:41] Ivano**
Huh?
**[04:42] Ivano**
Hey, you listenin'?
**[04:43] Tak**
What's up? You find a Pom or something?
**[04:48] Tak**
This hole's still fresh.
**[04:58] Deputy Commander**
Where do you think you're going?!
**[05:00] Dren**
All troops, halt!
**[05:12] Tak**
So it is Dromes.
**[05:14] Ivano**
We're too far out to hit them.
**[05:15] Ivano**
Tak!
**[05:40] Tak**
You'll be okay now.
**[05:59] Dren**
Fire!
**[06:21] Ivano**
Good job figurin' out
there was a village here.
**[06:24] Soldier A**
Okay, let's go.
**[06:25] Soldier B**
Got any materials?
**[06:26] Soldier C**
Wall repairs will be finished shortly!
**[06:29] Deputy Commander**
Commander Dren.
**[06:31] Deputy Commander**
Two buildings have been destroyed.
**[06:32] Deputy Commander**
All other damage is reported to be minor.
**[06:35] Dren**
Great. Which leaves...
**[06:38] Tak**
Their pulses are stable.
**[06:40] Tak**
That said...
**[06:42] Tak**
They need antidotes as soon as possible.
**[06:45] Ivano**
Drome venom? That's trouble.
**[06:47] Tak**
Only Haliask's equipped to treat them.
**[06:49] Mia**
Haliask?! But that's so far!
**[06:53] Ivano**
We'll keep them and you safe from monsters.
**[06:56] Ivano**
Don't you worry, gran.
**[06:57] Tak**
We can get there as soon as tomorrow.
**[07:01] Deputy Commander**
Tak! Ivano!
**[07:03] Deputy Commander**
Carry the wounded to the truck.
**[07:05] Ivano**
All right, let's go.
**[07:09] Ivano**
Hmm? What's wrong?
**[07:12] Ivano**
Dromes, destroying walls
and swarming into a village?
**[07:16] Ivano**
You're right. That is strange.
**[07:18] Tak**
They do grow more active
in snowy conditions, but...
**[07:25] Tak**
Wait, were they running from something?
**[07:43] Swordsman**
Ow...
**[07:44] Dren**
Dodge it!
**[07:47] Ivano**
Dren!
**[07:48] Tak**
He got careless!
**[07:51] Dren**
Fall back... to the church!
**[07:54] Deputy Commander**
Retreat!
**[07:55] Deputy Commander**
Defend the villagers
and fall back to the church!
**[07:58] Tak**
Damn it...
**[07:59] Ivano**
We're not even scratching it!
**[08:08] Ivano**
Hey, stop!
**[08:09] Tak**
We've been ordered to fall back!
**[08:10] Ivano**
Is that moron for real?!
**[08:20] Tak**
This is no time to be impressed!
**[08:22] Ivano**
Tch. Fine, let's buy some time!
**[08:37] Ivano**
Chew on this...
**[08:39] Tak**
and go hibernate!
**[08:55] Ivano**
You got more rounds?
**[08:56] Tak**
Just used my last one.
**[08:57] Ivano**
Same here.
**[09:02] Ivano;Tak**
Help!
**[09:38] Ivano**
Are you crazy, rook?!
**[09:40] Ivano**
Lavi!
**[09:41] Tak**
Oh, boy. Can't wait to write
an apology for this.
**[09:47] Lavian**
But hey, weren't you bored
and in need of thrills?

**[11:55] Lavian**
Commander, I've finished my report.
**[11:58] Dren**
Great. That was quicker than I expected.
**[12:00] Dren**
Wait, where's the paperwork?
**[12:02] Ivano**
Hey, you forgot something.
**[12:05] Tak**
I was a fool to be impressed when
you took down that giant piece of shit.
**[12:10] Lavian**
Here. My written apology for defying orders.
**[12:14] Tak**
That seals it. Pay cut for three months.
**[12:16] Ivano**
Back to the broke life again, huh...
**[12:19] Dren**
Okay. I trust you also filed the relief
aid application for the settlement?
**[12:24] Lavian**
Yep.
**[12:28] Dren**
I'm fine. They just went
overboard on the bandages.
**[12:31] Dren**
Though, well, I won't be
on the front lines for a while.
**[12:42] Ivano**
Hey.
**[12:48] Tak**
Someone's in a hurry.
**[12:50] Tak**
They're always bossy, though,
so that part's nothing new.
**[12:53] Ivano**
Look at them acting like
they own the country.
**[12:57] Ivano**
Don't they realize they're only
living the cushy life thanks to us?
**[13:02] Ivano;Tak**
Hey, Lavi!
**[13:06] Tak**
Do you know why we both got pay cuts?
**[13:09] Ivano**
It's 'cause you went crazy!
**[13:12] Ivano;Tak**
You owe us some northern borscht!
**[13:16] Dren**
I've got some things to take care of.
**[13:18] Ivano**
Nobody asked.
**[13:20] Ivano**
We know you enjoy the same pricey
cuisine as those snobby lawmakers!
**[13:25] Ivano**
Nothing in this world's tastier
than northern borscht, tho—
**[13:28] Dren**
Lavi.
**[13:29] Ivano**
What?
**[13:30] Dren**
Oh, it's just...
**[13:32] Dren**
Those two are total gluttons, so be careful.
**[13:34] Dren**
Keep them in check.
**[13:38] Ivano**
If you wanna talk Haliask,
**[13:40] Ivano**
you can't leave out the famous
Liberation Square arcade and its stalls!
**[13:43] Ivano**
It's just as grand as the one
in Heimdallr, over in Erebonia.
**[13:46] Tak**
Huh? Is this your first time here, Lavi?
**[13:49] Lavian**
I have seen it in passing before, but yes.
**[13:52] Ivano**
Okay, I'll give you a personal
guided tour, so be grateful, rook.
**[13:57] Tak**
Quit acting high and mighty when
you're trying to mooch off of that rook.
**[14:01] Ivano**
Like you aren't!
**[14:02] Tak**
Oh, I guess I am.
**[14:05] Ivano**
All right, then. Off we go!
**[14:34] Cook**
Here you go!
Real, authentic northern borscht!
**[14:39] Ivano**
Let's get right to it!
**[14:42] Ivano**
Yum!
**[14:44] Tak**
Yeah... This sour taste, topped off
by the sweetness of the veggies...
**[14:48] Tak**
I could get hooked!
**[14:49] Chef**
You know it!
**[14:50] Chef**
Our borscht is the best in Haliask!
Eat all you want!
**[14:55] Chef**
Is this lassie a jaeger, too?
**[14:58] Tak**
Believe it or not, she's even
better in combat than the two of us.
**[15:02] Old Lady**
Found some! Listen to me, jaegers!
**[15:05] Old Lady**
The weather's been terrible lately,
and everything's going up in price.
**[15:10] Civilian A**
We're somehow making do,
thanks to your supplies...
**[15:15] Chef**
But the countryside must be even worse off.
**[15:18] Civilian B**
I heard another village
got attacked by monsters.
**[15:21] Civilian A**
Ordinary villagers can't
deal with the snow and the monsters.
**[15:24] Civilian A**
Even getting to the next settlement's
gotta be tough for them.
**[15:28] Civilian C**
We're worried these are signs that things
are going to get worse.
**[15:31] Civilian B**
We can't trust those government dogs.
**[15:34] Civilian B**
They're living in luxury
while the rest of us starve!
**[15:37] Old Lady**
We need you Northern Jaegers
to pick up the slack!
**[15:44] Old Lady**
Do your best.
**[15:46] Old Lady**
We're counting on you!
**[15:49] Ivano**
Oh, hey, gran!
**[15:51] Ivano**
We have something to do,
so we'll be heading out.
**[15:56] Ivano**
Thanks for the food!
**[15:57] Tak**
It was great.
**[16:01] Mia**
This is her first time out of our village.
**[16:05] Mia**
Thankfully, my daughter and her husband
got the antidote in time and are stable now.
**[16:10] Ivano**
That so?
**[16:11] Tak**
Good thing Lavi noticed so quickly.
**[16:15] Mia**
I'd never expected Liberation Square
to have become an arcade, though.
**[16:21] Tak**
Huh? Have you been to Haliask before?
**[16:26] Mia**
Yes. I suppose things would change
after 27 years.
**[16:35] Tak**
27 years ago?
When the revolution took place?
**[16:40] Ivano**
Oh, right. This is a memorial, right?
**[16:44] Mia**
It's no surprise that you young'uns
wouldn't know much about it.
**[16:50] Mia**
North Ambria used to be a principality
with a prosperous shipping industry.
**[16:56] Mia**
It wasn't a poor country in any way or form.
**[17:01] Mia**
But that one morning...
**[17:03] Mia**
a massive white pillar, tall enough
to pierce the sky, appeared out of nowhere.
**[17:09] Mia**
It later came to be known as the North
Ambrian Disaster, or the Salt Pale Incident.
**[17:16] Mia**
People, land, and everything else turned
into white clumps of salt.
**[17:22] Mia**
The prince fled the country, and riots
and coups become commonplace.
**[17:27] Mia**
All I could do was run as far as I could.
**[17:31] Mia**
I had to keep my daughter safe.
**[17:32] Mia**
That was all I had on my mind as
I walked southwards for days on end.
**[17:38] Mia**
But even then, I was this close
to losing all hope.
**[17:42] Mia**
That's when...
**[17:46] Mia**
Some people took control
of all the local coups and riots,
**[17:49] Mia**
and started a revolution.
**[17:54] Mia**
They became the heroes of the revolution.
**[17:57] Mia**
It was here that the
"State of North Ambria" was born.
**[18:02] Mia**
It's all thanks to those heroes
that I'm still here today.
**[18:08] Tak**
Later, those very same heroes
**[18:12] Tak**
became the core that
formed our Northern Jaegers.
**[18:15] Ivano**
What? Our boss was a hero of the revolution?
**[18:19] Tak**
Dude, even kids know that these days.
**[18:23] Mia**
Go on, Miju.
**[18:25] Mia**
Don't you have something to give her?
**[18:31] Miju**
Hey, miss...
**[18:33] Miju**
Thank you for saving my daddy,
mommy, and granny!
**[19:00] Ivano**
Get a move on.
**[19:14] M. Civilian**
Is that... the Phenomenon Squad?
**[19:16] F. Civilian**
It's Rogan!
**[19:17] M. Civilian**
He's returned to Haliask!
**[19:19] Ivano**
Hey, that's Rogan!
**[19:21] Tak**
Why is he here?
Wasn't he on a recon mission?
**[19:27] Ivano**
Let me in, Rogan!
**[19:29] Ivano**
Let me join the Phenomenon Squad!
**[19:29] Tak**
Don't! They're radicals!
**[19:33] Civilians**
Rogan! Rogan!
**[19:41] Rogan**
Wheat-treading season
is almost upon us, huh?
**[19:44] Rogan**
Since it's a crop endemic
to mountainous regions,
**[19:47] Rogan**
it ripens later than usual, does it not?
**[19:50] Lavian**
Why...?
**[19:52] Rogan**
You look like you're wondering how
I know the village you were born in.
**[19:56] Rogan**
That's not all I know.
**[19:59] Rogan**
I also know the man
who was once hailed a hero
**[20:02] Rogan**
and yet abandoned North Ambria...
**[20:05] Rogan**
Vlad Winslet.
**[20:10] Rogan**
I mean your grandfather...
**[20:12] Rogan**
Lavian Winslet, grandchild of a hero.
**[20:18] Civilians**
Rogan! Rogan!
**[20:31] Rogan**
Back when this country teetered
on the brink of destruction,
**[20:35] Rogan**
the heroes of the revolution saved us.
**[20:39] Rogan**
But what did they accomplish after that?
**[20:43] Rogan**
What did they leave for future generations?
**[20:46] Rogan**
This country still battles
harsh weather and abject poverty,
**[20:52] Rogan**
and even those modest lives could be ruined
by foreign troops in the blink of an eye.
**[20:59] Rogan**
The times are constantly changing.
They wait for no man.
**[21:06] Rogan**
The heroes of North Ambria are dead.
**[21:09] Rogan**
This country needs another,
brand-new revolution.
**[21:15] Rogan**
Calvard has lost to Erebonia!
**[21:20] Rogan**
Crossbell State has been
annexed by the Erebonian Empire!
**[21:28] Rogan**
All it took was one Soldat.
**[21:35] Rogan**
All it took was one Imperial hero!
**[21:41] Lavian**
A hero...
**[21:43] Rogan**
It's clear as day what Erebonia
will set its sights on next.
**[21:47] Rogan**
The time has come to make a stand!
**[21:50] Rogan**
I'm here to start another revolution!
**[21:54] Civilians**
Only Rogan could ever hope
to take on Erebonia!
**[21:57] Civilians**
Rogan! Rogan!
