Drifters

Can you see them?

Sir.

I can't see them yet...

...but I feel their presence. It could happen at any time.

Why are all the Octobrists so fearful of them?

Those northern freaks came many times...

but they have never breached this wall.

We've been driving them to the other side for hundreds of years.

We are the people of Carneades, the protectors of this wall.

What can those freaks do?!

Those soldiers are useless. They won't even last two days.

You're in charge here. I'm going to Kafet to check on the situation.

Are you talking about those two old men?

Yes. If they don't lead the army, this country will be destroyed.

We can't win a battle like this.

The power of Drifters alone can't bring us a victory!

"Act 3 Army of Ours--Sortie at Dawn"

Don't be a fool!

Are you telling me to give up my command...

...to those bizarre Drifters?!

Don't mess with me, magicians!

But if we don't let them lead, we'll lose.

Are you mocking me?!

What do you know?! You are just a magician organization!

Besides, what can those two Drifters-- those scruffy old men--do?!

What? What? What are you two arguing about?

Well... umm... we're trying to have him give up command of his troops to you two.

Huh?! All of a sudden! That's impossible!

I know it's unreasonable, but...

...if you don't command them, we'll all die.

Hmph. Why on earth do we have to do such a thing?!

Nasty Drifters!

--Bastards! --Shut up, Drifters! --What the hell are you talking about?!

I don't understand their language, but I could tell we were insulted.

H-Hey!

Huh?!

I'm about to pee my pants.

"Shiver shiver shiver"

--Huh?! --You idiot! Hold it! You old fool!

No, I can't. Aging causes me to have sudden urges to urinate.

Wh-Wh-What should I do?

I'm fed up with this lightning of Carthage.

I-I hate getting old...

He is just a stupid old man!

There's no way I will give command to such an old wretch!

W-What the...

That man is...

...someone even millions of you can't defeat!

That man... That man...

That man is Hannibal--Hannibal Barca!

My Roman Empire did not fear

Yet, facing that man alone, Hannibal, did Rome tremble!

any enemy, even if there were millions of them.

Wh-What are you saying?

Damn you!

You two, that's far enough.

Even if he gave in now, it's already pointless.

Please get ready to escape. Soon, this place will descend into carnage.

The Octobrists will also withdraw.

Before the battle against the Black King's army begins,

we must allow the Drifters to escape...

...no matter what it takes or whom we sacrifice.

Scipio...

...thank you.

W-Well, that's the assurance of the victor.

Besides, I am stronger than you.

What did you say, you beardless idiot?!

You wanna fight, old man?!

This is Semu. This is Semu.

What should we do? Wh... is... the... con... dition... ther...

Ca... yo... hea... me, Gr... Mas...

It's magic disruption.

Shoot! They are coming!

There is no response from four reconnaissance units.

Damn!

What are those noises?

What's goin' on?

You got a cigarette?

Don't be an idiot. Course not.

You're lying! You're hiding the last two cigarettes, aren't ya?!

Whose fault was it that we ended up in a place like this?!

Who would give ya cigarettes, ya fool?!

I want a cigarette so bad.

Wherever we go, there's no tomorrow...

We, the Wild Bunch, only got today.

I should at least be able to smoke as I please.

The Black King...

...is here.

Crusade, crusade.

Crusade of his Majesty, the Black King.

Crusade, crusade.

The time has finally come.

Crusade, crusade.

Those who have ears, listen.

Those who have eyes, watch.

Those who have mouths, shout.

Let them know everything.

Crusade, crusade, crusade.

It's the beginning of the eradication of mankind.

Gather together. Join us.

All your power to the Black King!

All your power to the Black King!

The Black King... The king of the "Ends."

It's too late!

He's already here!

Do you hate us that much, Black King?

The "Drifters," this world...

...and everything else?!

They are coming! They're closing in!

Archers! Take aim!

Bring death.

Sh-Shoot!

Hijikata.

Joan of Arc.

Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova.

You may go.

At last, you've made your move.

Are you really going to eradicate this world?

You do as you please.

Yeah. That's how I live my life. So, allow me to continue on.

Kurou Hougan Yoshitsune.

Which side are you on...

...the Drifters or the Ends?

Let's see... Whichever interests me.

Shoot! Shoot! Fire at will!

Don't let them close in! Shoot!

From Air Command to Dragon Cavalry. Engage in aerial support.

Deploy mobile aerial forces!

Damn it! They're coming one after another. There is no end!

Descend! Begin Operation Draborne!

Descent successful. Minimum damage. 2nd platoon, ready up!

Go! Go! Go!

From Agnela 1 of Air Command to Dragon Cavalry.

Backup requested by the Goblin 7th battalion.

Coordinates, 42-7-12-73-42-8.

It's too late. We can't save them!

But if a way for the Drifters to escape exists...
