Izetta: The Last Witch (終末のイゼッタ)

That's the last one...

Even one shot is enough!

Show me what you can do!

Damn it!

Episode 3

The Sword in the Heavens

Relax.

If you're tense when nothing's going on,

you won't be able to function when you need to.

Good booze, right?

Master Sergeant, can we win?

You know the story, right?

Coenenberg was where the first archduke of Eylstadt withstood a siege

and defended his territory.

Inside the walls of that fortress up there

are all kinds of swords and things from the Middle Ages.

Fortune is on our side in a place like this.

Well, if those damn Germanians came after us for real,

the place probably wouldn't last twelve hours.

But each enemy we kill might save a comrade's life.

Believe that when you fire.

Right.

The tanks have been wiped out!

The enemy will be here soon!

Engineers!

Sergeant!

Nobody else is coming!

Seal the road with mines!

Messenger, inform the company commander!

Yes, Sergeant!

Enemy attack!

Incoming bombs!

You idiot!

Princess, I have a request.

Will you be my hope?

Hope?

I'll protect your country!

Protect us?

No!

You can't, Izetta!

As powerful as you are,

they're a huge army with tens of thousands of soldiers!

But I think I can do it.

I appreciate the gesture.

But you have nothing to do with this. I can't get you involved.

Please understand.

But...

Come in.

Coenenberg is being bombed!

Master Sergeant,

is the bombing over?

Master Sergeant!

Medic! Medic!

South of Coenenberg Kiltfel Military Command Headquarters

How bad is the damage?

Yes.

Yes.

I see.

With the standoff near the capital,

we won't be given any interceptors.

Just hang in there somehow.

If Coenenberg falls,

the enemy will strike deep into our territory.

I know that!

Hurry up and get the people evacuated.

We probably don't have much time.

Ruden Lake Germanian Division Headquarters

So they withstood it after all, huh?

Yes, unfortunately.

Our air force's bombing wasn't able to do the job alone, it seems.

You win the bet.

The champagne is yours.

It's my turn, then.

Advance our tank company!

Bring them down!

Yes, sir!

Enemy tanks approaching our first emplacement!

Find someone fast and send them after the first platoon!

The artillery units are still okay, right?

Yes, sir!

Second Platoon leader Elmer has died in combat.

Give them the adjusted coordinates!

Master Sergeant Lutz has assumed command and is holding off the enemy!

Bring down a hail of shells on those damned Germanians!

Artillery command, this is Company HQ.

Effective fire coordinates, 5200.

Target azimuth, 400.

Company, fire for effect!

Ready...

Fire!

Is there any hope that we'll win?

We'll be lucky to buy time for the people of Kiltfel to our rear to evacuate.

So we can only buy time?

Do the men in that fortress know that?

They know that, and they're fighting anyway.

Buying time?

We're losing lives just to buy time?

Isn't there anything I can do...

for the lives that are being lost this very minute?

Damn it! Damn it!

Hey, you!

Come with me! This way!

You're with squad two, right?

What's your name?

Jonas!

Okay!

You can help fire a machine gun, right?

We're fighting back!

Right!

Bullets!

Right!

Message from the company commander!

We're abandoning the first emplacement!

Fall back to emplacement two!

Finally, huh?

Let's go!

Abandon the first emplacement!

Dad, Mom,

Émile, Heidi, Helena...

Dad, Mom,

Émile, Heidi, Helena...

You still can't bring it down?

Sir...

The artillery fire from the enemy's rear

must have spotters on top of the mountains.

It's very accurate and is stalling our advance.

Damn them.

Lieutenant General, if we take too long,

His Majesty may be angered.

I know!

Major Keller, I request additional support from the air force.

Crush that observation post.

Understood.

Shall we enjoy the celebratory champagne together?

Bring as many as you can find!

They might be useful for something!

Princess.

Please.

Let us go to Coenenberg.
