Time to cripple the flying dragon brigade.
Right.
Demihuman kids?
Did they save me just now?
Keep your wits about you!
Lead the townsfolk to safety!
You're in harm's way, ma'am. You have to get to safety!
Don't worry, little girl.
Help is on the way.
The Heroes will arrive any minute and save us all.
How it burns!
Jullas-Abllas is ablaze!
The world mirrored in my eyes Is upside-down
I fall And my body is completely upside-down
(Only the moon knows What lies on the flip side of glory)
A false sense of justice pervades
Revenge is how I live my life
(Deceit, façade, delusion Rabble of lowborns, false idols)
Do you remember that day? Do you remember me?
I've been waiting for this day to come
Do you remember that day? Do you remember me?
I'll never forgive you
Carve it in your heart I know I am a sinner
Wielding my blade of resolve
I don't care how low I sink
I will embark to end My long journey of vengeance
EPISODE 11 GEFÜHL ZU... (WITH FEELING)
What the hell is he?
Köinzell!
It's him!
Captain, who is that man?
I don't know.
I don't know, but...
I am the captain of this Free City's Vigilante Corps.
I should choose my words carefully
when I don't know what a fighter's intentions are.
But when I see him fight, how can I not call him what he is?
A hero!
Damn it! Kill him! Kill the brat!
Algro!
Fire! Fire!
If you can fight, pick up your weapons!
Provide cover!
For him.
For our hero!
Our hero?
- Our hero? - Hero? He's our hero!
Miss Altea, look at everyone.
They're all calling Köinzell a hero!
Yes!
Köinzell, you may not be the type to appreciate this,
but everyone here now knows.
They know you are the hero!
Köinzell!
This guy, we can't handle him!
I have a mission to take care of for the batterygrave.
You dispose of him and bring an end to the Free City's mutiny!
But Magistrate!
It's the latest Flagship of the Dragon Airship Fleet
commissioned by Marquis Glenn.
Once we gain control of that ship the batterygrave has been wanting,
we can deploy the castle's magic artillery to burn everything else to a crisp.
Why is it airborne? What is happening?
Have mercy!
I've told you everything I know! Everything!
Walge!
Taking advantage of the widespread chaos
to snatch the maschinendrache Flagship from Marquis Glenn?
You should be ashamed!
The Flagship is now mine.
Well done!
Excellent. What a magnificent ship indeed.
Despite being built in these peaceful days,
its form is an embodiment of aggression.
Yes, it is beautiful!
Damn it.
That bastard's crest is ruining the ship's impeccable design.
Shit.
Why, Glenn... Why only you?
They've rejected my request to build a maschinendrache Flagship?
But why so?
I have no words to offer.
This was the Imperial Capital's decision.
Unacceptable...
But Glenn's ship is being constructed in the Free City, in my domain!
So how come my request gets denied?
Shit.
Why... Why Glenn?
Why is he allowed to surpass us?
What... What makes Glenn and me so different?
No, we aren't different.
We are...
We are supposed to be equals!
So, they left.
They've gone mad...
Those four have no chance of coming back alive,
let alone reaching the seal and completing the mission.
This mission was too reckless to begin with.
If we return and report to His Majesty, surely he will understand.
But he just might get the job done.
He...
Ascheriit is just that kind of guy.
He's always been this way.
He can accomplish anything, and he'll do it with a smile.
We have defied all odds to come this far.
Been through extraordinary hardships no man should ever live through.
And yet, the fact of the matter is,
we'll always be nothin' but a bunch of cowardly commoners compared to him.
Always, always, always!
If those four somehow manage to complete the mission,
then what's the harm, really?
I trust them.
They'll keep this between us.
There isn't a problem...
You want me to live out the rest of my life
indebted to Ascheriit and the others?
Then what do you suppose we do, Glenn?
If, by some miracle, Ascheriit completes the mission and returns, then what?
We were the same, weren't we?
No matter.
The Flagship of the Dragon Airship Fleet is mine at last!
We'll blame the theft on the wretches of the Free City
who sided with the Hero-Killing Rebel.
Then, we'll hide the ship somewhere in the northern mountains.
Before that, I will demolish those who know too much.
Destroy, my floating castle and Flagship!
- Head to the castle, Aht! - Roger that.
They flew right into the line of fire,
between my floating castle and the Flagship.
Foolish flies.
Blow them to smithereens!
When will our attack be ready?
I'm checking the control panels now.
Jackpot.
Looks like we can control the main cannon with this.
Very well.
Then commence the assault on the floating castle!
You've made up your mind about this?
Yes.
Though it pains me to drag you onto this perilous path I've chosen.
Don't worry about us.
When it comes down to it, we'll find a way out.
But you are...
I, the daughter of an Elector,
have turned against one of the Seven Heroes.
I admit, I may have caused some trouble for my father.
However, Father raised me
not to avert my eyes from savagery committed by nobles.
In the name of heroes, we will serve justice to this abominable tyrant!
I can't take back the Flagship on my own...
Damn it!
Huh? Save me!
Wait! Come back!
Fire!
Why did my ship...
Return fire! Return fire!
Evade!
Damn, these lightning attacks!
Aht, we'll go around from below and approach the castle.
Stay close to the walls, and we'll be safe from the lightning.
- Then we'll fly up to the tower, and-- - Got it.
Aht, come back for me.
What?
Barestar!
Shit.
Shit, shit!
We've almost reached the Free City.
I've finally been commanded to slay Köinzell.
I hope those four haven't finished the job.
If Köinzell hasn't been eliminated by Elsaria and her company, then...
At last, Köinzell and Ichfeis will...
This is terrible.
What...
What is the meaning of this atrocity?
What is going on?
Could he be dead?
No. It will take a lot more than this to finish off Köinzell.
That Flagship of the Dragon Airship Fleet
is the one Marquis Glenn commissioned to be built in Jullas-Abllas.
But what about that castle?
I heard this in the Free City.
The batterygrave had his castle reconstructed,
but not a soul knows of its location.
No, my ears must be failing me.
He is one of the Seven Heroes,
so why would he build such a fortress behind the capital's back?
The Hero-Killing Rebel, huh?
If he slays not one, but two heroes, and I strike him down,
then my honor will be all the greater.
Someone...
Are you okay?
I've come to help, Barestar.
How odd...
Why be reminded of him at a time like this?
He is a man I killed!
Fire!
Shit!
I am one of the Seven Heroes!
You will answer for this treachery!
Continue the assault and advance towards the castle!
Drag the batterygrave out of that fortress.
He has much to answer for!
Where's Barestar?
He won't get away!
This is the last pod!
Move it!
- Get off me! - Let me get on!
Shit, they're firing. We need to take off!
- No, not yet! - We're still out here!
Hey! Move it.
- That's my ship-- - Shut up!
Hold on, that's...
The batterygrave!
Like hell I care!
Hey, don't go... Wait. Wait!
Wai...
Father, when did you...
Aren't they magnificent?
We gathered the best of masons, and they took no time constructing these!
But lately, the Imperial Army has been lagging on their payments.
And yet, you built these?
You still don't understand how business is dealt with, Barestar.
Now is our time to secure our favor with the empire.
Once the war is over,
there will be plenty of profit to rake in from them.
If the empire loses and Wischtech takes over,
that would spell the end of our business all the same.
The current emperor is strong and intelligent.
He is a man of his word.
We will have no shortage of opportunities under his good rule.
I understand you have a lot of faith in him, Father.
That look on your face is hardly that of a merchant.
The emperor is recruiting heroes
to mend the seal in the depths of the Forest of Death.
Barestar, go enlist.
Me?
Unlike your brothers, your talent for commerce is horrendous.
However, you are strong.
Father!
You'd offer your own son to win favors with the emperor?
The other sons have all become full-fledged merchants.
I was wondering what to do with you.
The empire's strongest warriors will soon set off on the mission.
You will learn much from them.
I'm not asking you to bring honor to the family.
Just come back alive.
Are you okay, Barestar?
Ascheriit!
Lift your head, Barestar.
This won't do.
I came here to take my vengeance on a Hero.
But now, it's like you are the treacherous tyrant, and I'm the hero.
Ascheriit...
Do you know who I am, Barestar?
You...
You came for me!
Do you see them, Ascheriit?
They... They all got killed.
I warned them too!
Barestar, what are you saying?
They were all good-natured men,
but they charged at that monster, just like that.
Damn it.
Why did Father send me to this insanity?
Why am I here?
All I ever wanted was to carry on the business beside my Father
as he called me "incompetent."
Let's go home. I want to go home.
I was never cut out for this.
I hate to say this after coming all this way,
but I... I'm nothing but a son of a merchant.
I'm not a trained soldier like you lot.
Please, just send me back to my hometown.
Then I can be with my father and my brothers again.
Which way do I go?
Tell me, Ascheriit.
Which way to Lemda?
Right now, Father must be boasting about his battery to His Majesty...
Barestar, you are...
Father's getting an earful from me!
- So please, Ascheriit... - So I've been thinking, Ascheriit.
Once this mission is over, I'm going home to Lemda.
There, I'll become a successful merchant.
Bet Father will never stop naggin', even after he retires.
When that day comes, come to Lemda.
I'll show you around.
What do you say, Ascheriit?
Someday...
The place you sought to return to one day, the simple life you've dreamt of...
You've lost sight of everything...
You fool!
How can you show me around
when you've lost sight of your way home,
Barestar?
There were nights when I cried
Holding my knees in my arms
Holding a fragment
A distant dream, dream, dream
Somebody said once That stardust is made
Of discarded dreams
But I don't know a single trash can
That shines so beautifully
No matter how many times I am reborn
I'll draw an endless map
In the same night sky
Like a constellation, like a masterpiece
Stella blurs, Stella scatters
The star is there Even when she disappears
Someday, I will catch her And hold on tight
I will become the hero of my dream
Someone once pointed out That the edge of a crescent moon
Is sharp as a knife
But I've never seen an edge So gentle and kind
Illuminating
Illuminating tomorrow
