Conquest Calendar 1935, August, Outskirts of Athlon City
Nobody's here.
They got away?
This is...
Shoot, it's them.
Hurry and fire back!
Fire! Fire!
Have we found them?
Where are they?
Signaller.
Yes!
Check on the vanguards.
Roger!
It's them!
Where?
Everyone, spread out!
Fall back!
Medics!
Where are those bastards attacking from?
They can even see at night?
Where are they?
Curse you.
The flare!
Fire the flare!
It's those bastards!
Over there!
Nameless?
ta ga tame ni kokoro wa hakanaku kobore ochite iku?
誰がために 心は 儚く 零れ落ちていく?
For whom does the heart spill out momentarily towards?

Hoping for you to listen

- For whom do I bear this gunshot wound-
furisosogu kono senritsu no naka nani wo miru?
降り注ぐ この旋律の中 何を見る?
Within this downpour of melody, what do you see?
itai tsumi ni osowaretemo mada susume!
痛い罪に襲われても まだ進め!
Even when chased by the sins and pain, we have to move on!
seigi toka sadame ja nai tada mirai no tame nara
正義とか宿命じゃない ただ未来の為なら
It's not about justice or fate, but purely just for the sake of our future
bokura ga tsunagu akai sora wa kizuna wo yobu
僕等が繋ぐ赤い空は 絆を呼ぶ
Let's call forth the bonds from the crimson sky which links us all
kibou sore wa kono yo ni sonzai suru no
希望それは この世に存在するの
Surely hope still exists in this world
asu ga mata ubawareteiku
明日がまた 奪われていく
Even if it might be stolen from us tomorrow
tachiagare!
立ち上がれ!
Let's stand up against it!
kaze ga mi wo saitemo makerarenai
風が身を裂いても 負けられない
The wind might have ripped our bodies apart, but we will never admit defeat
zetsubou no hate no shinjitsu motome
絶望の果ての真実 求め
We will still seek the truth even at the brink of despair
mou ichido nigiri kaeshitekita te wo hanasanai
もう一度握り返してきた 手を離さない
I will never again loosen the grip of our hands which were separated
na mo naki mono hashiridase
名もなき者 走り出せ
Start running, oh nameless person.
Nameless.
In a place like this...!
You've got to be kidding me...
She shot down the flares.
Fire!
Fire at will!
Was that really necessary?
There is little information in night combats.
Only the side with the dominant mentality will win.
Our odds of winning are low.
What Imca said is correct.
Move out.
Fall back!
How much ammo do we have left?
Three rounds.
And you?
Four.
Is it about time we get done for?
I have no intention of dying.
I haven't even taken you out for a date.
People who say things like this are usually the first to die.
Deit, I'll have you escort this horrendous lady!
Sure!
Those bastards... Where are they hiding?
Looks like this will be my burial site.
Your burial site isn't up to you to decide.
A single bullet decides that.
Serge, think about these things later.
Rather, you focus on how to force them back.
Don't run!
Get back there!
Get in there!
They are too elusive.
It's impossible to track their movements.
And we were clearly overpowering them earlier.
Just what is happening...
Since when did they...
It's heading this way!
Retreat at once!
Retreat!
They finally turned tail and retreated.
Did it go according to plan, Clarissa?
Luck is on our side.
They didn't know we were out of ammo.
I would really prefer declining such a role.
Everyone mobilised according to my battle plan.
As long as you don't commit any mistakes during battle,
the end result will be what we expect it to be.
Compared to you, I think the process is more important.
Ghirlandaio Fortress
I would never have thought that the mighty Imperial troops...
...would actually be forced to this extent by a small country like Gallia.
Your Highness,
did you summon me here to just listen to your complaints?
Calamity Raven's commander...
...doesn't seem to understand something called "The beauty of the battlefield".
You should be aware that many regions have been reclaimed by Gallia.
However,
the Dillsburg bridgehead is like a knife,
positioned directly at the throat of the Gallia capital, Randgriz.
Soon, we'll use this as a starting point.
That way, we can push back all the other battlefronts.
Of course, I don't intend to allow the Gallian troops to regroup.
So you want me to guard the Dillsburg bridgehead?
If you wish to prove your loyalty, that is.
It's already bland enough.
Now it's got even worse.
We can move now.
There's a small river approximately 1 km ahead.
But it's very rough.
The regular army will probably attack the Dillsburg bridgehead.
The battle should take place west of it.
Kurt, you do know we're being targeted by both sides, right?
Then even more so.
I don't think they'll expect us to be in a place like this.
Besides, the regular troops don't have the time to waste on some rebel squad like us.
I heard you're directly under His Highness Maximilian.
Didn't expect you to be a Darcsen...
Don't get the wrong idea.
The person tasked to guard the bridgehead is me alone.
Dillsburg Bridgehead
You only have to protect all the women.
Even a filthy Darcsen like you should be competent enough for something of this level.
Sir.
Good, keep going.
What's Commander Munchhausen like?
Zig, make preparations for immediate mobilisation at any time.
Roger!
Which means to say, that guy is worth making use of.
Yeah, he's quite capable.
Looks like the Imperial Army lacks capable commanders.
Why, if it isn't Gusurg.
So you're saying the Gallian Army you were in...
...used to have many outstanding commanders?
Isn't that the reason why the Imperial Army has been losing?
Why, you...
Drop it, Lydia.
All troops, head to your respective barracks and take a rest.
You really like Edelweiss, don't you, Isara?
Yeah.
He's like a spitting image of my father, who built him.
You have never left Edelweiss before, right?
Yeah.
You sure are motivated.
Are you sure it's all right to undergo such a huge maintenance?
The battle could start any time, you know.
It won't start so soon.
How could you be so sure, Welkin?
The enemy is setting up an intense formation.
It's too little to attack with just five hundred troops.
If so, they can only resort to surprise attacks.
Thankfully, the fog appears easily during this period in Dillsburg.
So the battle will begin when the fog arrives in the morning.
It's finally clearing up.
It's so warm!
So warm, Serge...
Right, please wait a bit more.
Riela, change of shift.
Okay.
Look! A nightingale!
You seem to know a lot about birds.
In my home town,
the couples who hear the nightingale sing will attain happiness.
What a baseless superstition.
You're such a spoilsport, Kurt!
What's she mad about?
What's wrong?
Hang in there!
So, the Imperial Troops stormed and conquered your village.
Is that right, Anna?
Well then, let me explain the battle plan.
Kurt, I know you're a restless person who acts on the spur of the moment,
but once you listen more carefully, you're like, "Oh, I understand now."
Seriously, this is too reckless!
Wanna go rest in the tent?
It's impossible to reclaim the village with our current equipment.
Our ammunition supply is running low.
If we succeed, then what?
Without ammo, the gun is merely a burden.
Also, what if we happen to run into the regular troops?
The resupply may not catch up, at worst.
But if we fight against the Imperial Troops,
we will suffer heavy losses.
Wait a sec!
Are you suggesting we ignore this girl's request?
That's not what I mean.
I'm just saying that the time is not right.
We should just inform the regular troops and get them to handle it.
Do you think they will do it for such a small village?
Besides, I'm feeling very hungry.
The soldiers are hungry.
The tank lacks ammo.
There aren't many bullets for the guns.
It's impossible.
The parents of that girl are suffering.
Bullets don't magically appear, even if we argue about it.
We are a rebel squad currently on the run, even from our friendly Gallian regular troops.
We are all tired and miserable.
But who are the ones who suffer the most in the war?
Those unnamed civilians.
Correct.
However, there are no such things as unnamed civilians.
Everybody, no matter who, has a name.
We all understand this.
Protecting them from the Imperial Troops and those who see them as dirt...
Nobody else can achieve that...
Except our squad, the Nameless,
which was released from the constraints of the army.
If we leave them to die...
...then we are no different from the regular troops.
I get it.
How's it?
It's just as Anna had described.
The Imperial Troops are scattered everywhere.
What about the armoured vehicles?
Only one, by the looks of it.
All right, commence operation!
Our squad will close in on the village while staying hidden in darkness.
Imca's group will rush at once...
...towards the rendezvous point as the operation begins.
You will suppress the enemy HQ situated there.
Come on, there's nothing wrong.
Please stop!
Stop struggling, and be honest with yourself.
The incoming tank will be our signal.
En... En...
Enemy attack!
An enemy attack!
What, enemy attack?
Dammit! I was just about to enjoy myself...
All right!
All troops charge into the village!
Provide cover for Imca and the rest.
Kurt-san! The tanks!
They even have tanks.
Anna didn't tell us about it.
They must've come when she wasn't there.
Gloria!
Anti-tank missiles!
I used up the last one earlier on.
What's that?!
Clarissa, fall back.
Clarissa!
That's why I didn't want this job!
That stingy girl actually stole an anti-tank missile.
What did you say?!
The tanks and armoured vehicles are wiped out?
We won't kill you if you don't resist!
Collection of arms complete.
I'll hand you over to the villagers.
You'll be given to the Gallian troops soon.
Mama! Papa!
Anna!
Are you all right?
Yes!
Thank you very much, Soldier-san.
This goat's milk cheese tastes somewhat weird, but it's good.
Here you go.
Thanks a lot.
Are you done eating?
It's none of your concern.
There's no telling when we can have a full meal next.
You should eat properly when it's time to.
Stop it.
Let me go!
Oh Princess, may I have your hand please?
I refuse!
You're elegant as usual, Imca.
I haven't been this full for a long time.
Yeah, I'm content.
Oh? A positive comment for a change.
Now that's rare.
Things like unnamed civilians don't exist, eh?
The same can be said of soldiers, too.
But was there any need to give all the weapons we retrieved to them?
That way, they'll be able to protect themselves even after we leave.
The villagers needed those weapons more.
How I wish you could spread some of that kindness to your comrades.
I'm doing it?
Affirmative.
Cut off the Gallian troops at the battlefront from Athlon City.
It'll be troublesome if the central troops are able to mobilise.
Sir, roger that!
Our supplies are here!
Wow, shells.
There are even 9 mm ones.
There are so many grenades that we can even sell them.
Hey, don't fight over it, okay?
I'll feel depressed if you say I resemble Gloria.
How'd you know?
Isn't it great?
Everything went according to plan.
Lt. Colonel Crowe can also take action without being constrained.
The rain before this was like a dream.
Can't sleep, Dahau?
Must be reaching your age.
Hey, you know what?
When this kind of blue moonlight appears in the surroundings,
fog will appear the following morning.
That means it's approaching soon.
Yup.
It's approaching soon.
Impossible.
They dare to launch an assault with so few people?
Are you all right with this?
I'm fine with it.
Our mission is to protect that toy.
Double up!
Yes!
Roger!
Hang in there!
You're... Squad 7's...
What are you doing down here?
Please save us!
The... The Gallian front-line troops have collapsed!
What...
What the hell?

Then I will finally see my answer

Part Two Preview
For those without names, there exists no justice.
Those who have lost their military status,
aren't obligated to serve the country.
But even so, we will still continue to fight on.
Who do we fight for?
Right now, it's for the tears of the unnamed people who are suffering before our very eyes,
to give back the days where they can laugh.
And so, in front of us while on our way to assist Squad 7,
lies Dillsburg bridgehead's giant cannon.
