SIGN Several Days After the Battle with the Dukedom of Dakia
[00:02] Erich
The southern region reports that,
[00:04] Erich
with the 7th Air Fleet's aid, we have
broken through the Dakian central lines.
[00:11] Erich
We are now beginning a mop-up operation
[00:15] Erich
to cut the enemy's comms lines
and destroy them.
[00:18] ---
Overwhelming a force of 600,000
with only 70,000?
[00:21] ---
Splendid.
[00:24] ---
We should be able to occupy Dakia by winter.
[00:30] Zettour
But our country still fights on two fronts.
[00:38] Erich
The Republic and the Entente Alliance.
[00:41] Erich
There's a lull in the fighting
in both theaters, but...
[00:45] ---
We are worrying about a world war.
[00:48] ---
The fewer fronts we must
fight on, the better.
[00:56] ---
Our only choice is to start wiping out
the weaker enemies, like Dakia.
[01:02] Erich
We attack the Entente Alliance, then?
[01:04] ---
They're probably more fragile
than the Republic.
[01:07] ---
The problem is supply.
[01:10] ---
Our supplies in the central Norden Region...
[01:13] Zettour
I'd like a little time to stock
supplies before an assault.
[01:18] Zettour
The snow's slowing railway development.
[01:23] Erich
We've known each other a
long time. Out with it.
[01:27] Zettour
We're already taxing the northern rail
and port systems to their limits.
[01:33] Zettour
No dramatic change can be
effected in a short time.
[01:38] Zettour
Making it through winter is all we
can do with our current supplies.
[01:42] Zettour
We don't have any to spare for an offensive.
[01:48] Erich
I get that our current
supply lines have issues.
[01:53] Erich
But I have a suggestion.
[01:57] Erich
I would like to use your ace in the hole...
[02:00] Erich
The 203rd Battalion,
which attacked the Dakian capital.
SIGN Imperial Army Southeastern Theater, Military Garrison 5
[02:13] ---
Attention!
[02:16] Tanya
Good work in Dakia, everyone.
[02:19] Tanya
As I'm sure you've already heard,
the 203rd has received a transfer order.
[02:26] Tanya
We're heading north, to Norden.
[02:28] ---
First the south, then the north.
[02:30] ---
No rest for the weary.
[02:31] ---
It's perfect. I've been wanting to ski.
[02:33] Tanya
We were always intended as
a rapid-response force,
[02:36] Tanya
but it looks like HQ wants to
work us like draft horses...
[02:41] Tanya
I'm sure they have quite the carrot for us.
[02:46] Tanya
But horses aren't lucky enough
to get food for free.
[02:52] Tanya
Strategic HQ specifically requested us.
[02:55] Tanya
Our opponent in this snowball fight is
[02:57] Tanya
the Triple Entente, which has launched
several attacks on our territory.
[03:01] Tanya
We're expected to test a new type of tactic.
[03:05] Tanya
We have to show them that our battalion
has its act together enough for hiking.
[03:10] Tanya
Do not forget your duty as soldiers!
[03:14] All
Yes, ma'am!
[03:15] Tanya
Good...
[03:16] Tanya
We will now relay to you the orders from HQ.
[03:20] Tanya
Lieutenant Weiss.
[03:23] ---
At 1800, we will start the long,
overnight journey north.
[03:28] Visha
Major, about the flight plan to Norden...
[03:31] Tanya
Second Lieutenant Serebryakov,
don't you think it's strange?
[03:35] Visha
Wh-What is?
[03:38] Tanya
Even without the central forces,
[03:40] Tanya
we should be more than capable of
defeating the Entente Alliance.
[03:45] Tanya
That war should've been over by now.
[03:48] Tanya
That means someone is poking
their nose where it doesn't belong.
[03:52] Visha
One of the other major powers
is intervening?
[03:55] Tanya
Yeah.
[03:56] Tanya
The Republic... The Allied Kingdom...
[04:00] Tanya
Perhaps both.
[04:02] Tanya
But the whole world will be
watching as we go hiking.
[04:07] Visha
Understood.
[04:08] Visha
I'll pass it on.
[04:12] Tanya
I knew a world war was a possibility,
but things are moving faster than I expected.
[04:17] Tanya
Dakia's sudden invasion was also inexplicable.
[04:21] Tanya
It's possible...
[04:23] Tanya
That the insane, self-proclaimed "God"
is using his invisible hand here.

Excellent news, everyone.
[04:39] ---
It's still in the early stages,
SIGN Entente Alliance Council of Ten
Olvajoule Kazole
[04:41] ---
but we've begun the process
of working with our allies.
[04:44] ---
That is good to hear.
[04:47] ---
But aren't they afraid that
we'll end up like Dakia?
[04:51] ---
They're afraid that we'll fall,
[04:52] ---
and then the Empire can direct
its full force toward the Republic.
[04:56] ---
That news makes us sound pitiful.
[04:59] ---
Not only the Republic,
but the Allied Kingdom will aid us, too.
[05:04] ---
They've also begun secretly
monitoring the Empire.
[05:08] ---
I'm envious they have resources to spare.
[05:12] ---
We have nothing left to spare at all.
[05:16] ---
We're forced to ask the other
major powers for aid.
[05:19] ---
It's pathetic,
[05:21] ---
but we have few other options.
[05:25] ---
Thus, let us do the best we can now.

Those intelligence asses said we
had nothing to worry about.
[05:53] ---

I can't keep up my defensive spells!
[05:58] ---

[06:00] ---
No!
[06:01] ---
We have to defend

[06:28] ---
The commander has been wounded,
and I'm assuming command.

[06:34] ---
And I've got bad news.
[06:36] ---
Emergency message from
the northeast area.
[06:38] ---
Observation teams have spotted
two company-sized units of mages.
[06:41] ---
Additional forces?
[06:42] ---
Where were they hiding until now?
[06:45] ---
We've confirmed foreign mages
of unknown nationality.
[06:48] ---
They'll be in your airspace soon.
[06:51] ---
It will be very hard to fight further.
[06:53] ---
Requesting permission to withdraw!
[06:55] ---
Lieutenant, multiple sightings at two o'clock.
[06:59] ---
Bombers...
[07:16] ---
Contact lost with forward units!
[07:18] ---
M-Multiple bombers sighted.
[07:21] ---
Send interceptors immediately!
[07:24] ---
Wait five minutes.
[07:25] ---
We'll discuss it with command.
[07:26] ---
Can you intercept?
[07:27] ---
Hell no!
[07:28] ---
Our altitudes are too different.
[07:30] ---
And we haven't wiped out
the enemy mages!
[07:36] ---
That base holds mountains of our supplies.
[07:38] ---
If it's bombed, we won't last the winter.
[07:41] ---
Please... Just hang in there.
[07:44] ---
Bombers are at an altitude over 9,000.
[07:49] ---
Only fighters can go that high.
[07:53] ---
Not good.
[07:54] ---
We'll be wiped out!
[07:57] ---
What? Is that true?
[07:59] ---
All right! Viper Battalion, retreat at once!
[08:03] ---
Retreat!
[08:04] ---
Reinforcements from central!
[08:06] ---
Battalion-sized unit
heading your way from area B-3!
[08:08] ---
Their call sign is "Pixie"!
[08:11] ---
Rejoice! Their commander is a named mage!
[08:17] Visha
Enemy mage unit at altitude 6,500.
[08:19] Visha
Forward forces are regiment-sized.
[08:22] Visha
Two companies to the rear.
[08:23] Tanya
Companies 2 through 4 will
hit the forward units.
[08:26] Tanya
We'll take out the rear units and bombers.
[08:29] Tanya
Then we'll launch a pincer
attack from the rear.
[08:32] Tanya
However, while your job is to delay them,
[08:35] Tanya
there isn't any need to wait for me.
[08:38] Tanya
Feel free to defeat them all.
[08:41] ---
Yes, ma'am!
[08:44] Tanya
Now, Company 1, gain altitude.

We'll go around and knock out
the two rear companies.

Well, um...

What is it? Hurry up!

They say they don't need help...
[09:27] ---
They don't need help?
[09:29] ---
They've got guts, huh?
[09:31] ---
They want us to owe them a favor.
[09:34] ---
Airborne Control has sighted Pixie Battalion.
[09:36] ---
Speed is 250.
[09:38] ---
Altitude is...
[09:39] ---
Pretty fast.
[09:41] ---
What's their altitude?
[09:43] ---
A-Altitude is 7,500...
[09:45] ---
No, it's still increasing!
[09:47] ---
What?
[09:48] ---
It must be some mistake.
[09:50] ---
Those are mages, not fighter planes.
[09:52] ---
They're certain. Present altitude is 8,500.
[09:55] ---
Speed is 300!
[09:57] ---
Is their gear working?
[09:59] ---
They're working fine.
[10:01] ---
Everything is working properly.
[10:03] ---
I can't believe it.
[10:04] ---
It seems Strategic HQ had an
unexpected ace up its sleeve.
[10:15] ---
Prepare for close-quarters combat!
[10:17] ---
We'll wipe out the enemy's forward units!
[10:26] ---
The enemy's computation jewels
are better than expected.
[10:29] ---
Don't get cocky!
[10:37] ---
They're fast.
[10:43] ---
They can hit accurately with
this altitude difference?
[10:46] ---
Seems like it's those foreign mages.
[10:48] ---
They're tougher than we'd thought.
[10:51] Tanya
So, everyone, how are you
enjoying a real war?
[10:55] Tanya
The other day's battle against Dakia
was just a live-fire exercise.
[10:59] Tanya
I want to let you fight
to your heart's content this time,
[11:02] Tanya
so I turned down reinforcements.
[11:04] Tanya
Be proud. You've been given a chance
to pass a trial of iron and fire.
[11:09] Tanya
Our battle is being watched
by the other major powers
[11:12] Tanya
and the entire world.
[11:14] Tanya
Our nation's honor is at stake,
and failure isn't permitted!
[11:17] ---
That's just like the major...
[11:20] Tanya
Also, the company that contributes least
[11:23] Tanya
will pay for the post-victory celebration.
[11:26] Tanya
I ordered some fine
twenty-five-year-old booze.
[11:29] Tanya
If you don't want to go bankrupt, fight hard.
[11:33] ---
Company 2, maximum altitude!
[11:35] ---
Everyone, fly like death's at your heels!
[11:37] ---
Don't bankrupt me!
[11:42] Visha
All companies are fighting hard.
[11:44] Tanya
It's hard to show off how good
a commander you are.
[11:52] Visha
It's them! The bombers!
[11:55] Tanya
They're finally here, huh?
[12:06] ---
Enemy mage company below us.
[12:09] ---
Twelve of them. Altitude 6,500.
[12:11] ---
What do we do?
[12:12] ---
Leave them to the rear mage units.
[12:15] ---
We're too high up for them to do anything.
[12:20] Visha
Enemy escorts are here, too.
[12:22] Visha
Two mage companies.
[12:27] Tanya
Second Lieutenant, lead the
company and take them out.
[12:30] Tanya
Sorry, but I'm taking all those for myself.
[12:33] Visha
A-All those bombers?
[12:36] Tanya
I actually want to become the air force's
ace, too, and this is my big chance.
[12:41] Visha
I'm afraid you'd need to do it in a plane
to stand any chance, ma'am.
[12:44] Tanya
Really?
[12:45] Tanya
I wish I could go back and get one, then.
[12:49] Tanya
But I guess I can't turn
my back on them now.
[12:53] Tanya
Don't want them thinking I retreated
when I faced the enemy.
[12:56] Tanya
Guess I'll work enough to earn my salary.
[13:04] Visha
Company 1, we're advancing!
[13:10] ---
O-One mage incoming!
[13:12] ---
One mage?
[13:13] ---
Impossible!
[13:14] ---
That's suicide.
[13:15] ---
S-Speed is 250.
[13:17] ---
Altitude is 7,500.
[13:18] ---
What?
[13:20] ---
They're still climbing!
[13:22] Tanya
I'm up against some slow,
heavy chunks of steel.
[13:25] Tanya
I won't be able to dance with them.
[13:27] ---
Altitude 8,000... 8,500.
[13:30] ---
At this rate, she'll match us!
[13:32] ---
Climb!
[13:33] ---
Everyone, lay down some fire!
[13:39] ---
She's too fast!
[13:40] Tanya
It's only times like this when
I'm happy to have this tiny body.
[13:44] ---
A-Altitude is 10,000!
[13:45] ---
Who is this girl?
[13:47] ---
Damn it... Hit her! Hit her!
[13:52] ---
Stop.
[13:53] ---
Don't fire randomly!

And goodbye.

This is as easy as hitting

but I can't just cut out their brain
and take it.

It's a joyous thing.
