**[00:38] Soldier**
I bring news.
**[00:40] Soldier**
Our scouts are telling us that the
Spirit Tortoise has become active again.
**[00:44] Soldier**
The Shield Hero's party and the
Haikazuya army's dragon riders,
**[00:48] Soldier**
along with the Melromarc cavalry,
have begun preparations for the attack.
**[00:57] Mirelia**
Order Lowhirot's siege units and the Spirit
Tortoise Kingdom's sappers to take positions.
**[01:04] Soldier**
Understood!
**[01:12] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
I will take command of the sappers.
**[01:21] Mirelia**
Good luck to all of you.
***SIGN*** Episode 3 Shaking Land
**[01:47] Naofumi**
You're one of the queen's aides, right?
**[01:50] Naofumi**
What do you want?
**[01:51] Aide**
I've been told to serve
as your messenger, I daresay.
**[01:57] Naofumi**
You...
**[01:59] Naofumi**
You're one of Melty's shadows, aren't you?
**[02:01] Naofumi**
Shouldn't you be with her?
**[02:03] Aide**
She's asked me to help you.
**[02:08] Naofumi**
I see.
**[02:10] Eclair**
Iwatani-dono!
**[02:13] Eclair**
We'll do this as planned, then.
**[02:14] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[02:16] Naofumi**
We need your skills as an instructor.
**[02:18] Naofumi**
Don't stand at the front of
any charges and get killed.
**[02:22] Eclair**
That's my line.
**[02:24] Eclair**
See you on the battlefield, then.
**[02:29] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, help me.
**[02:34] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[02:42] Filo**
Let's hurry up!
**[02:54] Eclair**
Battalion!
**[02:56] Soldiers**
Company! Company!
**[03:02] Soldiers**
Draw swords!
**[03:03] Soldiers**
Draw swords!
**[03:11] Soldiers**
Ready!
**[03:21] Eclair**
Forward!
**[03:29] Soldiers**
That's...!
**[03:32] Soldiers**
Look! That flag!
**[03:37] Soldiers**
The Hero! The Shield Hero!
**[03:42] Soldiers**
Shield Hero!
**[03:46] Soldiers**
We're counting on you!
**[03:59] Eclair**
Amazing.
**[04:01] Eclair**
He's raised the morale of the
troops just by doing that.
**[04:06] Ost**
I see!
**[04:08] Raphtalia**
That's why he wanted the flag.
**[04:11] Naofumi**
That's part of it.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
But later, it's going to serve as a warning:
"Don't get close to the flag."
**[04:17] Naofumi**
I'm about to summon it, after all.
**[04:27] Ost**
Rishia-san!
**[04:29] Rishia**
Right!
**[04:37] Naofumi**
Okay, let's get to it!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[06:28] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[06:29] Filo**
Right!
**[06:34] Naofumi**
Hate reaction!
**[06:44] Raphtalia**
It worked!
**[06:44] Naofumi**
For now.
**[06:47] Naofumi**
Floor it, Filo!
**[06:48] Naofumi**
Don't let them catch us!
**[06:50] Filo**
On it!
**[06:53] Eclair**
We're counting on you, Iwatani-dono!
**[06:55] Eclair**
Stay in formation!
**[06:57] Eclair**
We're going to lure the
Spirit Tortoise away!
**[07:09] Soldier**
Get the weapons ready!
**[07:12] Soldier**
It's here!
**[07:26] Eclair**
Tactical column!
**[07:28] Soldiers**
Tactical column!
**[07:29] Soldiers**
Tactical column!
**[07:42] Soldiers**
Prepare to fire!
**[07:46] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[07:53] Naofumi**
Well, we've got it where we want it.
**[07:55] Rishia**
W-We can't keep this up any longer!
**[08:00] Naofumi**
Shit! Filo, stop!
**[08:06] Naofumi**
We'll take down the familiars now!
**[08:08] Filo & Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[08:09] Rishia**
Against a-a-a-all of them?
**[08:13] Elrasla**
They might take all of us down!
**[08:17] Elrasla**
Rishia, my student, show me what you can do!
**[08:20] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[08:22] Ost**
I, Ost Hourai, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[08:25] Ost**
Sever the laws of reality,
**[08:27] Ost**
bind them together, and make
them spit out the pus within.
**[08:31] Ost**
By my power, may the gravity of
those before me be amplified!
**[08:36] Ost**
Ultra-Gravity Enhancement: Sinking Temple!
**[08:40] Naofumi**
Is she... controlling gravity?
**[08:45] Rishia**
I've never heard an incantation
like that before...
**[08:48] Ost**
Only a few monsters can use it.
**[08:54] Ost**
Now! Hurry!
**[08:58] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo! Rishia! Old woman!
**[09:01] All**
Right!
**[09:05] Soldiers**
Fire!
**[09:06] Soldiers**
Fire!
**[09:33] Raphtalia**
Ying-Yang Blade!
**[09:42] Elrasla**
Hengen Muso Secret
Technique: Crescent Moon!
**[09:52] Filo**
Drifa Tornado!
**[09:59] Rishia**
Everyone... you're all amazing.
**[10:02] Naofumi**
But it doesn't mean a thing
if they just keep coming!
**[10:05] Aide**
Reporting, I daresay.
**[10:08] Aide**
The Spirit Tortoise's advance has not stopped.
**[10:11] Aide**
The siege weapon attack was ineffectual.
**[10:15] Aide**
The siege weapon teams have not retreated,
however, and are continuing the assault!
**[10:20] Soldier**
Concentrate attacks on its right foreleg!
**[10:23] Soldier**
We'll knock out one of them, at least!
**[10:28] Soldier**
The right leg!
**[10:30] Soldier**
Concentrate on its right leg!
**[10:33] Soldier**
Fire!
**[10:51] Ost**
The siege units have sustained
over 50 percent casualties, I daresay.
**[10:54] Naofumi**
What about the sappers in the fort?
**[10:56] Aide**
Preparations are complete.
**[10:58] Aide**
The bombing teams have withdrawn.
**[10:59] Aide**
The Spirit Tortoise Kingdom's
commander remained alone.
**[11:03] Naofumi**
What?
**[11:15] Spirit Tortoise**
Don't be in such a hurry, Spirit Tortoise.
**[11:17] Spirit Tortoise**
I'm about to send you back to bed.
**[11:28] Aide**
Another shadow sent up a signal.
**[11:30] Aide**
The sappers' bombs have stopped
the Spirit Tortoise's advance.
**[11:34] Aide**
They say the commander met his
end in the collapse, I daresay.
**[11:40] Naofumi**
I see.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
Now all that's left is to cut off its head.
**[12:13] Elrasla**
That's beyond even me.
**[12:16] Elrasla**
If only my two students had completely
mastered Hengen Muso style,
**[12:21] Elrasla**
then perhaps...
**[12:28] Ost**
What's wrong?
**[12:30] Rishia**
Um...
**[12:31] Rishia**
The queen found this record for
me just before the battle began.
**[12:37] Rishia**
And it says...
**[12:39] Rishia**
Th-This! This is it!
**[12:42] Ost**
This is...
**[12:45] Rishia**
Ost-san! What's wrong?
**[12:47] Naofumi**
We should get close and...
**[12:49] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[12:51] Rishia**
Even when the Spirit Tortoise
stops moving, it's still dangerous!
**[12:53] Naofumi**
What?
**[12:55] Ost**
Getting close to it may have awakened
some information in my mind.
**[13:00] Ost**
When the Spirit Tortoise can no
longer take souls directly...
**[13:08] Naofumi**
What?
**[13:09] Ost**
It begins a long-range assault.
**[13:14] Soldier**
Look.
**[13:16] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[13:17] Ost**
It's too dangerous!
**[13:18] Ost**
Have them all fall back!
**[13:20] Naofumi**
Get moving! Now!
**[13:36] Naofumi**
This is insane!
**[13:37] Naofumi**
Is it that hungry?
**[13:39] Ost**
It's taking far more souls than it needs.
**[13:43] Ost**
Whoever's controlling it is probably...
**[13:46] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[13:49] Ost**
Th-Thank you!
**[13:51] Naofumi**
It's going to slaughter us!
**[13:58] Naofumi**
I guess I don't have a choice.
**[14:00] Naofumi**
Everyone, get in the carriage!
**[14:01] All**
Okay!
**[14:04] Naofumi**
And... Shadow!
**[14:06] Aide**
I'm right here.
**[14:08] Naofumi**
Give this message to the queen and
the others at main HQ immediately.
**[14:12] Eclair**
What do we do?
**[14:16] Eclair**
Iwatani-dono? What are you...
**[14:23] Eclair**
We will now charge the Spirit Tortoise!
**[14:27] Soldier**
Eclair-sama, that's suicide!
**[14:31] Eclair**
Look.
**[14:32] Eclair**
Those thorns aren't landing
anywhere close to it.
**[14:35] Eclair**
It's probably trying to
avoid hurting itself.
**[14:38] Soldier**
But the soldiers will take casualties.
**[14:40] Eclair**
This whole area is inside its firing range.
**[14:44] Eclair**
If we fall back now, when our formation
has collapsed, we'll be wiped out.
**[14:49] Eclair**
Follow the Shield Hero!
**[14:51] Eclair**
Ready... charge!
**[14:54] Soldiers**
Charge!
**[14:55] Soldier**
The Spirit Tortoise was stopped,
**[14:58] Soldier**
but it launched some kind of thorns
from its shell at our troops!
**[15:02] Soldier**
We've taken massive damage!
**[15:04] Soldier**
Reporting!
**[15:05] Soldier**
The remaining troops are charging the
Tortoise at the Shield Hero's orders!
**[15:10] Haikazuya Commander**
Madness! What is he thinking?
**[15:12] Mirelia**
Knowing Iwatani-sama, he must have a plan.
**[15:16] Soldier**
The Shield Hero has a message for HQ.
**[15:21] Soldier**
"I'm moving the plan to
stage two." That's all.
**[15:25] Mirelia**
I guess it's our only choice.
**[15:28] Mirelia**
Mideus's mage units are to prepare the
high-class multi-caster ritual magic.
**[15:33] Mirelia**
Initiate the incantation immediately!
**[15:44] Soldier**
Don't clump up!
**[15:46] Soldier**
If we do, we'll all be wiped out at once!
**[15:57] Soldier**
Don't... Don't die on me!
**[16:26] Raphtalia**
Multi-caster ritual magic?
**[16:28] Raphtalia**
Don't tell me...
**[16:29] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[16:30] Naofumi**
Our last option.
**[16:35] Naofumi**
Casting it is hard on the mages,
so we can only use it once,
**[16:39] Naofumi**
but we can use the spell like a
mine to blast off its foot.
**[16:41] Ost**
Even if the spell doesn't kill it,
**[16:44] Ost**
there will be a hole we can knock it
into to stop it from moving further.
**[16:48] Naofumi**
Yeah. As big as it is, it might not
even fit all the way in the hole.
**[16:53] Naofumi**
But we'll follow up immediately
by taking its head.
**[16:57] Ost**
That's the best option.
**[16:59] Naofumi**
Are you sure about this?
**[17:01] Naofumi**
If the Spirit Tortoise goes, you'll also...
**[17:04] Ost**
I don't mind.
**[17:06] Ost**
That's why I asked you for help.
**[17:13] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, something's coming!
**[17:22] Filo**
What is that thing?
**[17:27] Naofumi**
A parasite?
**[17:28] Naofumi**
It's a bunch of familiars stuck together?
**[17:30] Naofumi**
Damn it! We're so close!
**[17:36] Ost**
Its familiars are weak enough
that I can stop them.
**[17:40] Naofumi**
You...
**[17:44] Naofumi**
What are you doing?
**[17:45] Soldier**
We'll handle this!
**[17:46] Soldier**
You attack the Tortoise!
**[17:53] Naofumi**
Sorry! Thanks!
**[17:54] Soldier**
Of course!
**[18:13] Soldier**
You're...
**[18:18] Raphtalia**
Hurry, Filo!
**[18:19] Filo**
Roger!
**[18:22] Soldier**
Here and now we unlock the truths,
**[18:25] Soldier**
and bring down the lightning
of God's judgment!
**[18:33] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, isn't that...
**[18:35] Naofumi**
Yeah. Judgment.
**[18:38] Rishia**
The one the p-pope used?
**[18:41] Rishia**
You're using something so
powerful and dangerous?
**[19:00] Elrasla**
Saint, you must not let
this chance go to waste!
**[19:03] Naofumi**
Yeah! I know!
**[19:04] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[19:14] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[19:14] Raphtalia**
Eight Trigrams Blade of Destiny!
**[19:21] Elrasla**
Raphtalia did it!
**[19:29] Raphtalia**
And now you're going to try and run?
**[19:36] Ost**
I, Ost Hourai, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[19:43] Ost**
By my power, may strength be granted
to the holy shield before me!
**[19:59] Naofumi**
Go! Raphtalia! Filo!
**[20:02] Both**
Right!
**[20:02] Rishia**
I-I'll help, too!
**[21:19] Raphtalia**
We did it!
**[21:21] Naofumi**
Yeah...
**[21:23] Raphtalia**
But if we defeated the Spirit Tortoise,
that means that Ost-san is...
**[21:28] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[21:29] Elrasla**
She did her duty as a familiar...
**[21:35] Filo**
Ost-oneechan, Rishia-oneechan is crying.
**[21:40] Rishia**
Thank you...
**[21:48] Naofumi**
Ost... you...
**[21:51] Naofumi**
If you're still here, that means...
**[21:53] Ost**
Huh?
**[21:55] Ost**
Oh, right... That's right.
**[22:00] Ost**
Looks like you haven't defeated
the Spirit Tortoise yet.
