{Japanese Title} Valley of White Silver
{German Title} Chapter III
{Narrator} Space Calendar Year 791
{Narrator} Imperial Calendar Year 482, July
{Narrator} The Galactic Empire and Free Planets Alliance
{Narrator} Engaged in what was considered an endless conflict
{Narrator} A small page of battles is about to be added
{Narrator} Opening at the border planet of Kapche-Lanka.
{Solider} Be careful.
{Solider} There's at least one platoon of enemy troops.
{Soldier} Splitting up will result in us being destroyed separately.
{Solider} We must stay together.
{Soldier} Occupy that cliff, we can secure the area easier.
{Narrator} Reinhard von Musel and Siegfried Kircheis
{Narrator} Their first entrance to the battlefield
{Narrator} Was conducted on a world with below-freezing temperature
{Narrator} This was not what they're used to, and lacked realism.
{Narrator} No scent of blood, and no warmth of the flesh.
{Narrator} Thus, the odor of blood and death does not exist.
{Narrator} Perhaps, that is to make mankind as expendable goods.
{Narrator} Returning to battles of numerical superiority, that is an far extreme way of looking at it.
{Kircheis} No good.
{Kircheis} Control is dependent on the vehicle's computer processing.
{Kircheis} It uses helmet style transmitter for direct input.
{Kircheis} Set to specific brain wave patterns.
{Kircheis} It can only utilize pre-registered patterns for access.
{Reinhard} That means, we cannot capture this armored vehicle?
{Kircheis} Yes, it's different from the Imperial equipment.
{Kircheis} It cannot be operated by hand.
{Reinhard} Then, let's obtain energy fuel and data.
{Reinhard} Can the battery be switched?
{Kircheis} Yes, connection wires should be fine.
{Colonel} Lieutenant, go after them immediately.
{Colonel} We cannot leave the results unverified.
{Folken} You cannot be more patient?
{Colonel} No, we must make report as well.
{Colonel} It'd be bad if something happened.
{Lieutenant} What if, eh?
{Folken} What would we do, then?
{Colonel} You don't need me to tell you.
{Folken} Understood.
{Kircheis} Connection complete, please insert.
{Reinhard} All right.
{Reinhard} Success!
{Kircheis} Aye.
{Kircheis} We can discover the enemy base location from this.
{Kircheis} For our first battle, this is perfection.
{Reinhard} Let us fill our bellies first.
{Reinhard} We can finally use our cooking equipment.
{Reinhard} Will it end like this?
{Kircheis} You mean?
{Reinhard} The criminal will come and verify the results.
{Reinhard} The Colonel himself or one of his henchmen.
{Reinhard} Someone will definitely come and see if we're dead.
{Reinhard} Don't you think so?
{Kircheis} Ah, you're right.
{Kircheis} What should we do?
{Lieutenat} Still alive? Your luck is good.
{Reinhard} First (Senior Grade) Lieutenant, you came to save me?
{Lieutenant} Third (Junior Grade) Lieutenant, what happened to your subordinate?
{Lieutenant} I didn't see the red head.
{Reinhard} The battery is empty, and the vehicle couldn't move.
{Reinhard} Couldn't use the armaments either.
{Reinhard} He went out to seek help, but, fell off a cliff.
{Reinhard} I couldn't save him.
{Lieutenant} Ah, too bad.
{Reinhard} I want to find his body, please assist me.
{Reinhard} Afterwards, please let me ride in your armored vehicle back to the base.
{Lieutenant} Sorry, I refuse.
{Lieutenant} I didn't come to save you.
{Reinhard} What? Why did you come here then?
{Lieutenant} It's useless to hide it now.
{Lieutenant} I came to make sure you never return to base.
{Lieutenant} Following the transmitter,
{Lieutenant} I had wanted to wait until you two froze to death or died in battle.
{Lieutenant} But, sometimes manual labor is required.
{Reinhard} What did you say?
{Lieutenant} Your first battle has turned into your last.
{Lieutenant} It's quite pitiful, but, not an uncommon event.
{Lieutenant} Because the first battle is the hardest.
{Lieutenant} Admit your fate and follow your red head friend bravely.
{Reinhard} If Colonel Hierda finds out, he will never forgive you.
{Lieutenant} It was Colonel Hierda
{Lieutenant} who gave the order to kill you.
{Reinhard} What? Why? What have I done?
{Reinhard} I have never done anything to upset the Colonel.
{Lieutenant} Your existence alone upsets people.
{Reinhard} I'm Countess Gruenwald's younger brother.
{Reinhard} I'm destined to stand above you in the future.
{Reinhard} Do you think you can get away with this?
{Lieutenant} Borrowing your sister's position to boast?
{Lieutenant} Unfortunately, that sort of thing won't work anymore.
{Lieutenant} The light source itself will soon be extinguished.
{Reinhard} What?
{Lieutenant} Colonel Hierda and certain high ranking individual in the Imperial Court are in conspiracy.
{Lieutenant} When you two came to this planet
{Lieutenant} we received that person's instruction letter.
{Lieutenant} That person, is a lady loved by his Majesty the Emperor.
{Lieutenant} She says she cannot endure seeing
{Lieutenant} a girl of poor and lowly birth controlling affairs of the palace.
{Lieutenant} Therefore, according to order of things, we first kill the younger sibling.
{Reinhard} Who is this lady?
{Lieutenant} Since you cannot reveal this secret to anyone else,
{Lieutenant} I'll tell you then.
{Lieutenant} That person's name,
{Lieutenant} is Countess Susanna von Benemunde.
{Reinhard} I've heard of her.
{Reinhard} She was the Emperor's favorite, before my sister arrived.
{Lieutenant} Correct, she is of noble lineage by birth.
{Lieutenant} Unlike that tramp sister of yours.
{Reinhard} Fine, I understand.
{Reinhard} You're not needed anymore.
{Reinhard} Kircheis, get him!
{Lieutenant} What?!
{Reinhard} You're still alive, eh?
{Lieutenant} Save me, I beg you.
{Lieutenant} If you save me,
{Lieutenant} I will... be loyal to you.
{Reinhard} What should I do, Kircheis?
{Kircheis} This man, damaged Annerose-sama's good reputation.
{Reinhard} Did you hear that, Lt. 1st class?
{Reinhard} My opinion is the same as his.
{Reinhard} You want to kill us is one thing,
{Reinhard} and that may be overlooked.
{Reinhard} But, you said something that you shouldn't have.
{Reinhard} There is no other way to repent.
{Reinhard} We cannot avoid fighting with this kind of person.
{Reinhard} Let us return to base, Kircheis.
{Reinhard} The battle has just begun.
{Siegfried} Yes, Reinhard-sama.
{Siegfried} Yes, the battle has just begun.
{Siegfried} To give Colonel Hierda a fitting pay-back.
{Siegfried} To save Lady Annerose-sama from those nobles in the Imperial Court
{Siegfried} who plotted against us in secret.
{Siegfried} Then, perhaps we'd make Annerose-sama
{Siegfried} and the Emperor's relationship stronger temporally.
{Siegfried} But, for us to live on.
{Siegfried} Only for us to live on.
{Siegfried} One day.
{Siegfried} The day when she will face me with her smile will come.
{Siegfried} For now, to carry on this belief and continue fighting.
# Commercial break
{Siegfried} Reinhard-sama, data for the enemy's base has been found.
{Reinhard} All right.
{Siegfried} There's also the enemy's battle plans.
{Siegfried} The enemy appears to be moving toward our base right now.
{Reinhard} What?
{Siegfried} If this continues, they'd suffer a surprise attack.
{Siegfried} Our encounter wasn't with a simple patrol.
{Siegfried} It appears to be part of the enemy's advance units.
{Siegfried} Reinhard-sama
{Reinhard} Can't we make use this situation?
{Soldier} Number 3 observation post, please respond!
{Soldier} Number 8 observation post, please respond!
{Colonel} What is happening?
{Captain} Enemy surprise attack.
{Captain} Lost contact with number 3, 8, and 12 observation posts simultaneously.
{Colonel} It just had to be now...
{Colonel} Uh, nothing.
{Colonel} Number 9 defensive system.
{Captain} Yes!
{Captain} Number 9 defense system.
{Soldier} Confirmed enemy missiles toward our base.
# The Colonel yelled "control", but, I don't think that makes sense here.
{Colonel} Countermeasures.
{Soldier} All right! Success!
{Colonel} Are countermeasures sufficient for now?
{Colonel} What are those rebels thinking?
{Captain} Not good, that was bait.
{Colonel} What?
{Captain} Please look at this.
{Captain} The enemy's main force is coming from the rear, toward our mining base.
{Colonel} Deploy the mobile armor divisions!
{Reinhard} Looks like we made it.
{Reinhard} What do you think, Kircheis?
{Kircheis} Soon.
{Reinhard} Hurry.
{Reinhard} We must reduce our troop casualties.
{Kircheis} Yes, Reinhard-sama.
{Soldier} Missile launcher 16, 8, 6 has been destroyed.
{Captain} Colonel, at this rate...
{Kircheis} Command code complete.
{Reinhard} All right, send it.
{Captain} What's going on?
{Soldier} Vehicle 52 reporting!
{Colonel} Vehicle 52?
{Soldier} Now on screen.
{Colonel} 3rd Lt. Musel, why...?
{Reinhard} Reporting.
{Reinhard} During our scouting maneuvers, we encountered enemy vehicles.
{Reinhard} After inputting their data into our computer for analysis,
{Reinhard} we've transmitted fake orders to the enemy vehicles now attacking our base.
{Reinhard} And immobilized them.
{Reinhard} The effect may be temporary.
{Reinhard} Please take the opportunity to attack.
{Soldier} He's really good.
{Captain} Commander. Commander!
{Colonel} What is it?
{Captain} Please give the order.
{Colonel} All vehicles, attack.
{Captain} All vehicles, attack!
{Colonel} What could have happened?
{Colonel} Why did they come back?
# Note: not sure about the spelling of that Lieutenant's name, might be Kirche.
{Colonel} What happened to Folken Burcheis?
{Colonel} He failed?
{Colonel} Do they know it was my order?
{Colonel} Or...?
{Captain} Commander. Colonel!
{Colonel} What is it?
{Captain} Our forces are overwhelming the opposition, it's only a matter of time.
{Colonel} I know that.
{Captain} The newly arrived Lt. 3rd class Musel is very resourceful.
{Captain} For his first battle, he has performed well and gained many merits.
{Colonel} Idiot!
{Captain} The Colonel appears to be fatigued.
{Captain} The situation has improved.
{Captain} Please excuse my suggestion, let me take care of this.
{Captain} Would you please go take some rest?
{Colonel} Yes, yes, do as you say.
{Colonel} What about Lt. 3rd class Musel?
{Colonel} When Lt. 3rd class Musel returns
{Colonel} Tell him to come to my room.
{Captain} Yes.
{Colonel} Does he know it was my doing?
{Colonel} What to do? What to do?
{Soldier} All right!
{Soldier} We won!
{Reinhard} Wait for me, Sherda and those who conspire behind him.
