T: This is Fairy .

T: Confirming declaration of .

T: Victory to the Empire.

T: Now, troops, our job is to find

T: and destroy any enemy forces attempting to retreat.

T: All you have to do is attack the enemy if you find them.

T: If the land forces' performance is any indicator,

T: you won't have much to do.

T: Back at the capital...

T: For our attack on enemy command,

T: enough people to form an army corps want to buy us drinks.

T: I can guarantee you'll have free drinks for life.

Gu: That's fantastic!

T: Which does me no good, since I don't drink anything harder than coffee.

T: The first large-scale encirclement since Cannae...

T: The Empire has created an unassailable, golden monument in military history.

T: Now that I think about it, being a soldier who lives amidst combat

T: can make you lose your mind at times.

T: But once there's peace again,

T: everyday life will restore everything!

T: So just a bit more...

T: I need to be a little more patient.

T: With this attack... Just a bit more...

T: the w*r will be over!

Radio: Rhine Control to all units.

Radio: Multiple magical signatures detected in area .

Radio: Look out for long-range optical sniping spells.

Weiss: Area is the patch of ocean near us...

T: The John Bulls are getting involved?

Radio: I'm just part of operations, so I can't confirm.

T: Copy that. We'll assume bogey is a bandit.

T: Requesting permission to engage.

Radio: Sending a security echelon now.

You're to maintain your distance and stand by until they arrive.

T: Fairy , unable to comply! If we can get the drop on them—

Gu: Grantz!

Gu: One enemy down.

Gu: We can't reach Republican Control.

Gu: We must get control of the situation and gather information.

Gu: Hit 'em hard!

V: A b-battalion of mages!

V: Designating bogeys as bandits!

T: Disperse!

T: Turn and intercept!

Gu: B-But there aren't enough of us...

T: Since they've sighted us, they'll pursue.

T: So it's better than having those bayonets up our asses!

T: Form up! We'll get closer!

: Roger!

Gu: Enemy company is forming up.

Gu: Speed . Approaching fast!

Gu: So that's her...

Gu: Yeah... The Devil of the Rhine.

Gu: Everyone, as*ault formation.

Gu: Let's go!

Gu: Lord, grant me power.

Episode Resistance

T: When will reinforcements arrive?

V: They say another .

Gu: Enemy is company-sized! Overwhelm them with numbers!

T: Use the altitude difference!

T: Strike where they're vulnerable!

T: Nine o'clock!

T: Circle at high speed!

Gu: Enemy units lost.

Gu: Don't pursue too far!

Gu: L-Leaving the b*ttlefield.

Gu: Damn it!

T: Trench g*ns?!

T: That's a treaty violation, you barbarians!

Gu: , covering you.

Gu: You're mine!

Gu: Koenig...

Gu: Neumann!

T: Idiot! Calm down!

Gu: It is the Lord's guidance.

T: Being X...

T: You again?!

T: Let me go... Let me go!

T: Let me go.

T: Let me go!

Gu: E-Enemy visual confirmation.

Gu: Reinforcements at battalion strength!

Gu: We're out of time, huh?

Gu: I-If we can recover something of the colonel's...

Gu: It's hopeless now.

T: Major!

T: We were supposed to have the upper hand.

T: Pathetic, huh?

Gu: All Imperial forces engaged in the mission...

Gu: We will now move to cleanup operations.

Gu: Repeat.

Gu: We will now move to cleanup operations!

T: Troops, we'll return home victorious!

Days After the Surround and Destroy Operation

July , Unified Year

Republican Capital Parisee

Gu: This morning, the Republican governmentdeclared their capital undefended.

Imperial Capital Berun, Zolka Cafeteria

Gu: This declaration means the withdrawalof Republican forces from the capital

Gu: and a glorious victory for the Empire.

Gu: For the Fatherland!

Gu: Cheers!

Gu: My highest compliments to Strategic HQ once again.

Imperial Army High Council, Diplomatic Briefing

Gu: Your decisive battle plan was brilliant,

Gu: and then you took their capital.

Gu: Even the court is calling it a splendid effort.

Gu: We merely did our duty.

Gu: The ground troops did a good job.

Gu: The Republic was awfully willing to give up their capital, though.

Gu: Indeed, I was caught a little off-guard.

Gu: They must have really wanted to keep usfrom damaging the city's aesthetics.

Gu: All right,

Gu: moving on to the post-w*r dispensations...

Gu: Does the military have any thoughts?

Gu: Our mission is simply to defend the Fatherland.

Gu: We respect your position and have no intention of interfering.

Gu: Thank you for the consideration.

Gu: At present, the Foreign Affairs Bureau

Gu: plans to have the Republic abandon,or perhaps hand over,

Gu: several of their overseas colonies.

Gu: Oh, surprisingly fair.

Gu: Treating the overseas coloniesas de facto satrapies

Gu: wouldn't be realistic.

Gu: I see...

Gu: You can't devise peace plans

Gu: when you're drunk onthe wine of victory, huh?

Imperial Capital Outskirts, Unnamed Church

G: Fool!

G: Did you learn your lesson?

G: Don't get c*ck.

G: What?

G: You want to fight more?

G: I'll... I'll never forgive you!

G: What's his problem?

G: Get him!

V: Oh? Major?

V: I thought you were off today.

V: That's the major for you.

V: And compared to you, the men are...

V: They're having a barbecue on a Republican beach.

V: Jeez...

Somewhere in the Republic, Unnamed Beach

V: Even if they are on leave,aren't they taking it a little far?

T: It's summer already, huh?

V: Well, the w*r's over, either way.

V: Supposedly, the Republican Navy is withdrawing.

T: The navy's withdrawing?

: Yes.

V: Under General Du Lugo's authority,

V: the Republican Army ordered the navyto cease combat and move.

V: It's only a matter of time until the end of the w*r.

T: Lieutenant, did HQ say "end of the w*r"?

T: Not "an armistice" or "surrender"?

V: H-Huh?

T: I'm asking if they said "end of the w*r,"as opposed to an armistice.

V: Th-Thinking back, I believe the word was "armistice"...

T: You said the withdrawal order came from General Du Lugo?

V: Yes.

T: Where is the Republican Army?

V: Brest Military Port, I think.

Republican Territory Malgeria

T: Damn it!

T: Why didn't I notice?

V: Major?

T: Lieutenant, contact the engineers and have them ready the V-s.

T: The V-s... Have everyone recalled here by air at once.

T: Vacation is canceled!

V: Wh-What?

T: We're attacking Brest Military Port.

T: Prepare for full as*ault!

Republic, Brest Military Port

Gu: Get the rest of the cargo loaded!

Gu: How is Operation Ark going?

Gu: The rd Armored Division has boarded.

Gu: A mixed brigade from the th Strategic Mobile Corps is currently boarding.

Gu: We've confirmed the safety of the sea route, as well.

Gu: The Allied Kingdom's fleets are keeping the Empire at bay.

Gu: That will buy us a few days.

Gu: We leave in two hours.

Gu: Load as much as you can before time runs out.

Gu: Yes, sir!

Gu: We're fleeing, leaving behind

Gu: the people and land we're supposed to protect, huh?

Gu: I can't think of a more humiliating job.

Imperial Army Western Command

T: Please, let me go... Whatever it takes!

T: Let my unit go!

H: Major Degurechaff, calm down.

H: This isn't like you.

T: They plan to abandon the mainland and lettheir counterattacking force flee overseas!

T: If we let them escape, our victory will be threatened!

T: Their fleet is as good as defeated.

T: Do you intend to ruin the armistice and waste our manpower?

T: The armistice isn't in effect yet.

T: And an armistice is only temporary.

T: The w*r isn't over yet!

T: Please let me go!

T: Now is our only chance!

T: This brief window will decide ifthe Empire gains the whole world,

T: or loses everything!

Gu: Major, enough!

T: I beg you to understand...

T: that I have to do my job as a soldier.

Gu: No.

T: You refuse to allow me, no matter what?

Gu: Enough!

T: Very well.

T: I understand and will respectthe demands of the theater forces.

Gu: What?

T: If we don't act now,

T: future historians may call us lazy.

T: In accordance with the privileges Strategic Command has given me,

T: I will engage in force reconnaissance under my own authority.

Gu: Wh-What?

T: I ask that you not intervene.

Imperial Army V- Concealment Facility

Gu: Major, wait...

Gu: Please reconsider!

Gu: High Command requested I test the V-s.

Gu: I'm merely doing as they ask.

Gu: Lieutenant, are Weiss and the others here yet?

Gu: There's no time—

V: Special orders from Strategic HQ.

V: "To all units. Top priority."

V: It's an armistice order!

V: The mission is canceled.

T: Damn it...

T: Just a little more.

T: Just... Just a tiny bit more.

T: And the w*r...

V: Major...

T: Since I'm a soldier,

T: I could face a firing squadfor disobeying orders, huh?

T: Damn it!

T: Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

T: Damn it!

T: We...

T: We had a chance to end the w*r,

T: and we let it slip...
