Senjou no Valkyria 3: Tagatame no Juusou

There is nobody here...

Have they already fled?

What the...

Damn!

It's the enemy!

Where are they?!

Take cover!

Fire! Fire!

Did you spot the enemy?

Where should we look?

Radio!

Sir!

Call headquarters to confirm our reinforcements.

Yes sir!

It's the enemy!

Where?!

Spread out!

Retreat! Retreat!

Medic! Medic!

Where are they firing from?!

We can't see them clearly in the dark!

Where could they be?!

God damn it...

Use flares, start launching the flares!

It's the enemy!

Over there!

Nameless?!

Nameless...

What are they doing here?!

You gotta be kidding...

She shot down the flares...

Fire! Fire!!

Was that really necessary?

It's to keep them in the dark during the skirmish.

Also, it dampens their morale and gives us an opening.

We need every break that we can create.

Imca's right.

Let's advance.

Fall back! Fall back!

How many rounds do you have left?

Three, how about you?

I'm down to four.

This looks bad for us.

I'm not planning on dying yet.

I haven't taken you out on a date yet.

People who say things like that tend to die first, you know.

Deit, let's escort this uptight lady then.

Alright.

Where are they hiding?

I guess I'm destined to perish here.

Don't decide where you'll be dying.

All it takes is one bullet to take your life.

In that case, we'll think about it later.

Because we still have to worry about the enemy's relief force.

Stop running! Get back! Get back to your positions!

They're pushing us back.

We can't build any momentum.

What's the meaning of this?

There should only be a few of them...

How did they manage to flank us?!

Retreat! Everyone full retreat!

And just like that, they ran off with their tails between their legs.

That was a job well done, Carisa.

I'm happy it worked.

Glad they did not notice that I'm out of ammo.

I don't feel like doing that ever again.

Troops, I commend you on following my plan explicitly.

If the plan goes off without a hitch,

the results can be accurately guessed.

I think the process is more important than the result though.

It appears that our great Imperial Army

is being pushed back by the forces of the smaller Principality of Gallia....

Majesty, did you summon me just to hear your laments?

I want to ascertain if Calamity Raven's commander

can live up to his reputation for humility, as well.

As you've probably heard, Gallia's starting to recapture most of the regions it had previously lost.

But, while we hold the bridgehead at Dillsburg,

the Gallians know we can still strike them below at Randgriz, their capital.

At any rate, this area will take priority over other fronts.

Of course, Gallia won't just sit by and watch while it's in our possession.

That means you're assigning me to defend Dillsburg?

Consider this honor as a proof of your fealty.

It's our remaining stock of diluted soup and it taste more bland than ever.

We found a way through!

About a kilometer from here, based from observations, we can ford the river.

The Regular Army's objective is the Dillsburg bridgehead—here.

So the battle will most likely take place to the West.

But Kurt, both sides are hostile towards us.

That's why we're going.

They won't expect us to be on the field.

And besides, the Regular Army won't even bother with a renegade squad like us.

I never expected the corps hand-picked by Prince Maximillian to be composed of Darcsens.

Don't misunderstand, I've been tasked with the defense of this bridgehead.

Even though you're assigned to protect my "daughters,"

I'd appreciate it if you keep your filthy Darcsens in line. Understood?

Yes, sir.

All right... all right...

What was he like?

Commander Munchhausen I mean.

Zig, remember to keep yourself alert at all times.

Y-Yes, sir!

So that means he's a slave driver?

Yeah, the guy's quite shrewd.

Seems like the Imperial Army has a shortage of competent commanders.

Oh my Gusurg,

and you think the Gallian Army has alot of them?

That may be the reason why the Imperial Army has taken a beating recently, right?

What are you trying to...

Lydia, cut it out.

Men, our orders are to stay on alert for now.

Sir!

You really do treasure Edelweiss, don't you, Isara?

Yes. It's a tank designed and built by my father after all.

I bet you'd never part with Edelweiss, right?

That's right!

That was an honest answer.

Do you think it's okay to do maintenance right now?

The operation might start anytime unexpectedly.

I don't think it'll start yet.

Welkin, how can you tell that the operation won't be starting anytime soon?

They have a large formation of troops massing on the other side.

Five hundred men won't be enough for it.

Then again, that's unless they can see us.

At this time of year, Dillsburg typically gets a lot of fog.

The operation will begin...

with the morning fog.

The skies finally cleared.

It's still lukewarm, Serge.

Alright, give me a moment.

Riela, it's my watch.

Understood.

It's a muteling!

I don't know much about birds.

I've heard that if a couple hears it's cry, they'll be blessed with happiness.

That's a pretty baseless superstition.

For crying out loud, you're so dense, Kurt!

Why is she getting mad?

Hey, what's wrong?

Pull yourself together.

So...

The Imperial army entered and occupied your village?

Alright then, time for a mission briefing.

Kurt, you know we can't be making rash decisions.

You might think now that "things need to be done about it" but,

that reasoning is pretty reckless given our situation.

Do you want to rest inside the tent?

With our current supply, I'd say recapturing the village is close to impossible.

And we can't expend the ammo we have left.

If we commit ourselves and run out,what then?

Without bullets, our guns are just heavy clubs.

But what if the Regular Army arrives in the nick of ti-

Aside from our supply problem,

we don't know what the Imperial Army will do to the villagers if hostilities break out.

It may not be pretty.

Hold on now!

Will we ignore the poor girl's situation?

It's not like that, of course we don't want to abandon them.

If we inform the Regular Army about this, they may send a detachment.

Will the Regular Army even mobilize for the sake of that small village?

On another note, we're pretty much starved.

Everyone's feeling worn out, there are no shells left for the tank

and our ammo's nearly depleted.

We can't do this.

But, her parents are suffering as we speak.
