**[00:15] Man**
E-Enemy attack!
**[00:20] Man**
E-Enemy attack!
**[00:25] Rudle's Adjutant**
What's wrong? What's happening?
**[00:27] Man**
Sir, I'll go see immediately!
**[00:31] E Rudle**
So he's here.
**[00:33] Man**
Protect the gate and the walls!
**[00:35] Man**
Don't let them inside the walls!
**[00:40] Man**
What's that sound?
**[00:42] Man**
What's going on?
***SIGN*** General E Rudle
**[02:27] E Rudle**
What's the situation?
**[02:28] Rudle's Adjutant**
We've lost part of the walls, but not much else.
**[02:31] E Rudle**
How many are there?
**[02:32] Rudle's Adjutant**
A few over 500, at most.
**[02:34] Rudle's Adjutant**
We'll annihilate them immediately.
**[02:37] E Rudle**
These are demons.
**[02:39] E Rudle**
Be careful.
**[02:40] Rudle's Adjutant**
Of course...
**[02:41] E Rudle**
Gather all our forces!
**[02:43] Rudle's Adjutant**
Yes, sir!
**[03:08] Ike**
We'll draw the enemy's
attention until Cefiro-sama
**[03:11] Ike**
and the wounded can escape the castle.
**[03:14] Ike**
Just endure until then.
No matter what happens.
**[03:29] E Rudle**
Cease fire!
**[03:31] Rudle's Adjutant**
Cease fire!
**[03:32] Man**
Cease fire!
**[03:38] Rudle's Adjutant**
This is too easy.
**[03:40] Rudle's Adjutant**
If we attack with our main forces,
it should be easy to crush them.
**[03:44] E Rudle**
I'd rather not fight a night
battle against demons.
**[03:47] E Rudle**
We'll take losses, too.
**[03:49] Rudle's Adjutant**
Yes, sir.
**[03:50] E Rudle**
*This is strange, though.*
**[03:52] E Rudle**
* They should be trying to*
* rescue the prisoners.*
**[03:54] E Rudle**
*But they're barely moving.*
**[03:57] E Rudle**
* Their force is too small*
* to penetrate our lines.*
**[04:00] E Rudle**
* And they don't have enough magic*
* to put up a multi-layered defense.*
**[04:03] E Rudle**
*Their commander is probably...*
**[04:07] (Flashback) Cefiro**
I'm sure if I killed you then,
**[04:10] (Flashback) Cefiro**
I wouldn't find myself humiliated like this.
**[04:14] (Flashback) E Rudle**
I've heard that one of
your men is very talented.
**[04:19] (Flashback) E Rudle**
I'm sure he won't leave you like this.
**[04:25] E Rudle**
Ike, the commander of the Undying Brigade.
**[04:28] E Rudle**
What's going on with the
prisoner in the basement?
**[04:30] Rudle's Adjutant**
We have her securely guarded, sir.
**[04:33] E Rudle**
Just in case, call Valtel.
**[04:35] Rudle's Adjutant**
Yes, sir.
**[04:37] E Rudle**
* He's said to be the*
* Demon Lord's strongest magician.*
**[04:42] E Rudle**
*I can't wait to see what he does.*
**[04:47] Guard**
Don't worry. I'll watch her carefully.
**[04:49] Man**
Yes, thank you.
**[04:51] Guard**
Tell the general I said I'd do this.
**[04:54] Man**
Understood. Thank you.
**[05:00] Guard**
Your buddies are outside the walls.
**[05:03] Guard**
Well, I can't imagine that a demon
would care for one of their fellows.
**[05:09] Guard**
You know, you look just like a human.
**[05:16] Guard**
I wonder how a demon woman tastes.
**[05:19] Lilith**
Like poison, I'm sure.
**[05:26] Lilith**
Scum.
**[05:28] Lilith**
Go to hell.
**[05:38] Lilith**
I apologize for making you wait, Cefiro-sama.
**[05:48] Ike**
They aren't moving. Are they on to us?
**[05:50] Gunther**
Is it time, Ike-dono?
**[05:52] Gunther**
We're ready to go at any time!
**[05:53] Ike**
Gunther-sama! Just a little more!
**[05:57] Ike**
It's not time yet.
**[06:01] Ike**
I've got no choice.
**[06:08] Rudle's Adjutant**
Another attack!
**[06:11] E Rudle**
They never learn.
**[06:12] E Rudle**
What's the status of our forces?
**[06:15] Rudle's Adjutant**
Our light infantry units, our archers,
and our light cavalry...
**[06:19] Rudle's Adjutant**
are all ready to attack!
**[06:21] E Rudle**
Excellent. I'm sure they
won't advance any further.
**[06:25] E Rudle**
Prepare our catapults and siege crossbows!
**[06:27] E Rudle**
Focus on fighting a battle of attrition!
**[06:30] E Rudle**
We'll attack when they're worn
down and annihilate them!
**[06:33] E Rudle**
I'll give the order when the time's right.
**[06:35] Rudle's Adjutant**
Yes, sir!
**[06:45] Man**
It's started again.
**[06:47] Man**
They're going all out.
**[06:49] Man**
It would be bad if they
got inside the castle.
**[06:51] Man**
Wouldn't it be safer to kill them now?
**[06:57] Man**
What's this?
**[07:00] Man**
I feel weak...
**[07:09] Lilith**
Too easy.
**[07:10] Lilith**
The plan's going perfectly.
**[07:13] Fiorentina**
Cefiro-sama!
**[07:15] Lilith**
Okay, guys, time to...
**[07:17] Fiorentina**
Cefiro-sama, I'm so glad you're safe.
**[07:21] Cefiro**
I'm sorry for worrying you, Fiorentina.
**[07:25] Fiorentina**
I am unworthy of such words.
**[07:27] Fiorentina**
If anything, I'm sorry I couldn't save you.
**[07:30] Cefiro**
Don't say that.
**[07:31] Lilith**
Um, could you two do this later?
**[07:34] Lilith**
We're on a tight schedule.
**[07:37] Fiorentina**
Got it. I'll leave this to you.
**[07:40] Fiorentina**
Now...
***SIGN*** Did you think you could get away?
***SIGN*** I won't let a single one of you escape!
***SIGN*** E Rudle knows your whole plan!
***SIGN*** If you're angry, blame your own foolishness!
***SIGN*** Now, kill them all.
**[08:12] Lilith**
It really happened just like Ike-sama said!
***SIGN*** What?
**[08:15] Lilith**
Time to regret being born a dumbass.
***SIGN*** Wh-Who are you?
***SIGN*** Where'd you come from?
**[08:28] Jiron**
I'm a demon, as you can see.
**[08:30] Jiron**
And how'd I get here?
**[08:32] Jiron**
I walked, of course.
**[08:34] Jiron**
Right through those crumbled castle walls.
**[08:36] Jiron**
I did use a trick or two, though.
***SIGN*** A trick?!
**[08:44] Ike**
So it's time?
***SIGN*** Those weapons...
**[08:55] Jiron**
First row, fire!
**[08:58] Jiron**
Second row, fire!
**[09:03] Jiron**
Third row, fire!
***SIGN*** Those weapons take time to load!
***SIGN*** Now's your chance! Attack!
**[09:22] Lilith**
Hey, don't get too crazy, guys!
**[09:25] Lilith**
There's more work for you to do!
**[09:29] Cefiro**
Hang in there, Fiorentina!
**[09:31] Cefiro**
You mustn't die!
**[09:33] Fiorentina**
Cefiro-sama...
**[09:35] Fiorentina**
I'm sorry for failing you so many times.
**[09:41] Cefiro**
Don't say that! I'll patch you up right now!
**[09:44] Cefiro**
Fiorentina!
***SIGN*** Stand fast!
***SIGN*** We can't let them get through!
**[10:23] Cefiro**
You're not getting away!
**[10:24] Lilith**
Wait!
**[10:26] Lilith**
Please, calm your anger!
**[10:28] Lilith**
I have something to ask
of you and the orcs.
**[10:32] Lilith**
Please, remain calm!
**[10:34] Cefiro**
No. Move.
**[10:36] Lilith**
I beg you... Please!
**[10:39] Lilith**
These orders come from Ike-sama.
**[10:42] Lilith**
Please...
**[10:43] Cefiro**
Ike...
**[10:45] Jiron**
I'm sorry to interrupt, but...
**[10:47] Jiron**
Fiorentina isn't dead yet!
**[10:50] Jiron**
I want to get her treatment
as soon as possible!
**[10:52] Jiron**
So please, carry out the rest of the mission!
**[11:02] E Rudle**
What? Invaders inside the walls?
**[11:04] Rudle's Adjutant**
Impossible!
**[11:05] Rudle's Adjutant**
The watchmen said nothing!
**[11:08] Rudle's Adjutant**
They came out of nowhere!
**[11:11] Rudle's Adjutant**
They just appeared from thin air.
**[11:13] Rudle's Adjutant**
Thin air?
**[11:15] E Rudle**
Magic.
**[11:20] Rudle's Adjutant**
That's...
**[11:22] E Rudle**
*No...*
**[11:29] Lilith**
Destroy them!
**[11:49] Jiron**
It's time.
**[11:57] Ike**
Okay, it was a success!
**[12:00] Ike**
Gunther-sama!
**[12:01] Gunther**
Yes! Begin the mission!
**[12:12] Lilith**
Time to get out of here, guys!
**[12:14] Lilith**
If you don't hurry,
you'll be caught in the blasts!
**[12:16] Jiron**
Escape through the gaps in the walls!
**[12:18] Jiron**
Hurry!
**[12:22] Rudle's Adjutant**
Wh-What are those?
**[12:25] E Rudle**
A new enemy weapon?
**[12:27] E Rudle**
All forces, fall back!
**[12:29] E Rudle**
Fall back to the main gate!
**[12:31] E Rudle**
Hurry!
**[12:32] Rudle's Adjutant**
Yes, sir!
**[12:53] Ike**
All forces, advance!
**[12:56] Ike**
Drive them from their holes!
**[13:07] Man**
Reporting, general!
**[13:09] E Rudle**
What is it?
**[13:11] Man**
An enemy attack!
**[13:12] Man**
The enemy's launched a full-out attack!
**[13:14] Rudle's Adjutant**
What? What do we do, General?
**[13:18] E Rudle**
They won't even let us
establish a bridgehead.
**[13:21] E Rudle**
They're not taking any chances.
**[13:24] E Rudle**
All forces are to immediately retreat.
**[13:27] E Rudle**
Did you hear me?
**[13:28] Rudle's Adjutant**
O-Of course!
**[13:30] Rudle's Adjutant**
All forces, retreat!
**[13:31] Man**
All forces, retreat!
**[13:32] Man**
All forces, retreat!
**[13:34] E Rudle**
Ike, commander of the Undying Brigade...
**[13:37] E Rudle**
I'll remember your name.
**[13:59] Satie**
Here you go!
**[14:02] Beio**
Hey, why are there humans inside the castle?
**[14:06] Gamos**
They're Ike's forces.
**[14:09] Beio**
The humans?
**[14:10] Beio**
Is that true, Ike?
**[14:12] Ike**
Yes, it's true.
**[14:14] Cefiro**
Citizen troops from Ivalias.
**[14:16] Cefiro**
It's thanks to them that
I'm talking to you right now.
**[14:21] Fiorentina**
The humans saved us by using
the guns the dwarves made.
**[14:28] Lilith**
That's right.
**[14:30] Lilith**
Got it?
**[14:34] Kushana**
By the way, how are your wounds, Fiorentina?
**[14:37] Fiorentina**
I'm fine.
**[14:39] Fiorentina**
It will take a bigger wound
than this to kill me.
**[14:41] Cefiro**
I put you through a lot, Fiorentina.
**[14:45] Fiorentina**
No, not at all.
**[14:46] Gamos**
I can't believe all this
happened while we were gone.
**[14:50] Beio**
Yeah.
**[14:52] Cefiro**
Don't worry about it, you three.
**[14:54] Cefiro**
I'm the one who sent you to
fight those other battles.
**[14:57] Jiron**
Ike-sama!
**[15:00] Jiron**
A Red Dragon Messenger sent this!
**[15:02] Ike**
What?
**[15:04] Kushana**
Where is this messenger?
**[15:06] Jiron**
I-I have them waiting at the castle gate...
**[15:08] Beio**
Okay, let's rip the bastard apart!
**[15:11] Ike**
Now, now. Wait.
**[15:12] Ike**
First, we'll read the letter.
**[15:17] E Rudle**
*To my dear commander of the Undying Brigade.*
**[15:21] E Rudle**
*During my last battle with your forces,*
**[15:25] E Rudle**
* I was defeated by your cunning*
* plans and quick-thinking tactics.*
**[15:31] E Rudle**
* I felt compelled to put pen to paper to*
* give you the praise I feel you deserve.*
**[15:36] E Rudle**
* I hope that, if heaven wills it,*
* we may fight again once more,*
**[15:39] E Rudle**
*and wish you the best of health until then.*
**[15:41] E Rudle**
*E Rudle, of the Red Dragon Division.*
**[15:47] Ike**
It seems this E Rudle is
quite the romanticist.
**[15:52] Cefiro**
But that romanticist lured me into a trap,
**[15:56] Cefiro**
and I lost many of my men.
**[15:59] Cefiro**
The pain is unbearable.
**[16:00] Ike**
Luck on the battlefield often
switches between sides.
**[16:04] Ike**
There's nothing to be done about it.
**[16:06] Ike**
And this E Rudle...
**[16:10] Ike**
The way he trapped you,
**[16:13] Ike**
the way he led his forces during the siege,
**[16:15] Ike**
the speed with which he withdrew
when he knew he couldn't win...
**[16:19] Ike**
All while keeping his main force reserved.
**[16:23] Ike**
Without the dwarves' new weapon,
**[16:25] Ike**
I'm not sure if we would have won the battle.
**[16:30] Beio**
So, what did it say?
**[16:33] Ike**
Um... "I won't lose next time.
Just you wait." Something like that.
**[16:37] Beio**
Okay, so it's safe to
rip apart the messenger!
**[16:41] Ike**
No.
**[16:42] Ike**
I'm going to write a response,
so I'd prefer you didn't.
**[16:45] Beio**
Write down that the next time
I see him, I'll rip him apart.
**[16:48] Lilith**
He's such a brute.
**[16:51] Ike**
To E Rudle, commander of
the Red Dragon Division.
**[16:55] Ike**
Your words honor me far more than I deserve.
**[17:00] Ike**
For my part, seeing the speed with which you
reacted to the tides of battle left me in awe.
**[17:06] Ike**
As for your wish to meet
again on the field of battle,
**[17:10] Ike**
I would prefer to meet you somewhere else.
**[17:15] Ike**
Sincerely, Ike.
**[17:20] Ike**
Give this to the messenger.
**[17:21] Jiron**
Understood.
**[17:26] Cefiro**
Another success for you.
**[17:28] Ike**
Thank you.
**[17:29] Cefiro**
Did you need to come save me, though?
**[17:33] Ike**
The Demon Lord ordered me to.
**[17:35] Cefiro**
And you didn't refuse?
**[17:39] Ike**
I had no reason to.
**[17:45] Cefiro**
Well, I'm sure.
**[17:48] Cefiro**
I was the one who changed your diapers, even.
**[17:51] Cefiro**
We've known each other for a long time.
**[17:53] Cefiro**
I'm sure you couldn't refuse.
**[17:55] Lilith**
Diapers?
**[18:08] Ike**
Demon Lord!
**[18:11] Jiron**
M-Miss, this is no place for you.
**[18:16] Jiron**
Go play somewhere else.
**[18:19] Cefiro**
Ignorance is a terrifying thing.
**[18:23] Jiron**
Get out of here, Jiron!
**[18:26] Jiron**
Just go!
**[18:28] Ike**
Demon Lord, I'm terribly sorry!
**[18:30] Jiron**
De—
**[18:31] Ike**
This is Dairokuten-sama, the Demon Lord!
**[18:35] Jiron**
B-But the Demon Lord has nine
heads and they each have a crown,
**[18:40] Jiron**
and he has six limbs and they've all
got claws, and he's got three tails...
**[18:44] Ike**
I'm so sorry.
**[18:45] Ike**
This is my fault as the
one in charge of him.
**[18:49] Demon Lord**
It's fine.
**[18:50] Demon Lord**
Only a few demons know my face.
**[18:54] Demon Lord**
And you were just as confused when
you saw me for the first time.
**[19:00] Ike**
*This girl is the Demon Lord?!*
**[19:05] Jiron**
Oh, I remember!
**[19:08] Jiron**
This is the girl, Ike-sama!
**[19:10] Jiron**
The one who saved Ivalias all on her own!
**[19:14] Jiron**
Oh, right.
**[19:16] Jiron**
That would be easy if she was the demon lord.
**[19:20] Jiron**
S-Sorry!
**[19:22] Ike**
I apologize once more!
**[19:25] Ike**
Please forgive him!
**[19:27] Demon Lord**
Nine heads, six limbs...
**[19:30] Demon Lord**
Is that how my men see me?
**[19:35] Demon Lord**
I can understand why!
**[19:43] Jiron**
I'm so dead.
**[19:46] Demon Lord**
Cefiro...
**[19:47] Cefiro**
Yes?
**[19:48] Demon Lord**
Are your wounds healed?
**[19:52] Cefiro**
Yes, thank you.
**[19:53] Demon Lord**
I see.
**[19:55] Demon Lord**
You did well in this battle.
**[19:59] Cefiro**
No, without my mistake, Alesta would
never have fallen to the enemy.
**[20:05] Demon Lord**
But without your efforts, the reinforcements
wouldn't have arrived in time.
**[20:10] Demon Lord**
That's why the Undying Brigade was able to
defeat the Red Dragon Division, as I see it.
**[20:17] Demon Lord**
Now...
**[20:17] Demon Lord**
Gamos, leader of the Troll Brigade.
**[20:20] Demon Lord**
Beio, leader of the Werewolf Brigade.
**[20:22] Demon Lord**
Kushana, leader of the Fanged Beast Brigade.
**[20:25] Demon Lord**
Fiorentina, Alchemist.
**[20:28] Demon Lord**
And Ike, leader of the Undying Brigade...
**[20:32] Demon Lord**
The 7th Corps has done
splendidly during this war.
**[20:37] Demon Lord**
All of you fought well, from your
commanders to the lowliest soldier.
**[20:42] Demon Lord**
And the ones who achieved the most glory of all
**[20:45] Demon Lord**
are the Undying Brigade
and their commander, Ike.
**[20:49] Demon Lord**
Your deeds are worthy of great praise.
**[20:53] Demon Lord**
Well done.
**[20:54] Ike**
Your words honor me greatly.
**[20:57] Ike**
*Huh? Didn't this happen before?*
**[21:00] Demon**
Ike, you're not someone who can be
left in charge of a single brigade.
**[21:07] Demon**
Therefore...
**[21:08] Demon**
I am appointing you
commander of the 8th Corps.
**[22:55] Ike**
All forces, advance!
**[22:57] Narration**
The magician's name was Ike.
**[23:00] Narration**
He served in the Demon Lord's army,
**[23:01] Narration**
and was the grandson of
Romberg, the master magician.
**[23:07] Narration**
One day, he would go on to bring many
races together and unite the kingdoms,
**[23:13] Narration**
bringing peace to the world.
**[23:20] Narration**
There are rumors that he
was a human, not a demon.
**[23:26] Narration**
But there are no records left
that would reveal the truth.
