"Feel no shame about shape." "Weather changes the phrase." "Even mother will show you another way." "So, put your glasses on." "Nothing will be wrong." "There's no blame, there's no fame." "It's up to you." "The first words should be found." "Whatever holds you back." "I can..." "I can get it off." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what you want." "I don't know why..." "I don't know why..." "I don't know why you are afraid." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what..." "Tell me what you'd say." "I don't know why..." "I don't know why..." "Too late..." "It's too late." "Griffith!" "He's something else..." "I bet I could split steel with this sword but he easily evades each blow and just uses one arm to handle his narrow blade!" "He's a great fighter!" "I could suspend this duel until you've recovered completely, if you like." "Shut up!" "I'll win!" "I'll definitely beat him!" "Faster!" "Stronger!" "The kid is challenging Griffith again, he didn't learn his lesson at all!" "Kill him!" "Corkus, stop it!" "What?" "It's Griffith's orders!" "You must not bother them!" "I will take this opportunity to kill him." "Move!" "When did you become a leader, Corkus?" "Griffith's orders are absolute." "I've got him!" "It's settled..." "I like the way you fight." "You'll go to any length to defeat your opponent." "However, you can't wield your sword unless I move." "What do you say?" "I wouldn't mind if you'd rather we desist." "You talk too much, it's annoying." "Let me tell you something." "In a battle, your mouth is to be used like this!" "Griffith!" "I've never seen Griffith knocked to the ground like that!" "Do you like the taste of your own blood?" "I bet you've never had that fancy face beaten in!" "He did it!" "You struck me quite soundly..." "But, this is the end." "Admit defeat gently, otherwise I'll be forced to dislocate your shoulder joint..." "It doesn't matter to me..." "You bastard..." "Way to go!" "That's our Griffith!" "Yeah, that's Griffith for you!" "You really are the best." "You loser!" "You look pathetic, have you lost your nerve?" "Griffith?" "Now you are mine." "Do you mean it?" "He is a member of the Hawks from now on." "Yeah!" "It's so strange..." "Griffith has never, ever said such kind words to anyone!" "The Hawks have been nicknamed the Grim Reaper on the Battlefield since they are seemingly invincible in battle..." "We do not need to worry ourselves about them since they are a subsidiary of the Midland army." "Besides, mercenaries are merely cannon fodder." "But, what if they gain power and earn the King's confidence?" "We would face the loss of our prestige, our honor and pride." "Indeed..." "This is irritating!" "I was beaten..." "It's almost a joke!" "He talks openly, and smiles like some innocent kid..." "But he dislocated my shoulder joint cleanly, without hesitation just like plucking off a doll's arm..." "Dammit!" "Who the hell is he?" "Are you serious about killing him, Corkus?" "Sheesh!" "Don't chicken out at the last moment." "There are seven of us!" "You said you didn't like him either, right?" "Don't forget, the kid killed Dan." "But, he's so strong and skilled." "On top of that, Griffith..." "Don't worry." "We'll catch him off guard." "Plus, he's injured and can't possibly lift his sword." "We'll convince Griffith that the kid escaped after we dump his body in the woods." "This bunch will be no problem compared to him..." "Sam, you go first!" "Again?" "You never go first." "You better not do it." "C" " Caska." "He is still far beyond your skill, even injured." "I'll see about that." "Go back to your tent like a good boy, Corkus." "Caska, why are you trying to save him?" "Oh, I see." "You lay together for two nights..." "No wonder you have some feelings for him..." "If you say anything like that ever again I'll chop your head off." "J" " Just kidding..." "I'm kidding." "Let's go." "It looks like I owe you two..." "I should thank you at least." "You're mistaken..." "I just acted on Griffith's orders." "Otherwise, I don't give a damn about you." "I hope you drop dead in battle as soon as you can." "On the hill, our opponents have their headquarters manned by 2,000 soldiers." "Our mission is to burn the provisions and other supplies stored behind the hill." "Theoretically, the enemy will fortify the front of the hill in case of a night attack." "This is my strategy..." "We'll march as if we're making a detour along the river." "Then we'll attempt a surprise attack from their rear, and when we accomplish that we'll take the shortest route back here, right through the midst of their forces!" "Through the middle of the enemy?" "Any reinforcements?" "None!" "They told me that they can't afford to send us units for a night attack." "They're just a bunch of cowards." "The rear guard will be..." "Guts..." "I want you to do it." "You will help all of your fellow soldiers escape while containing hundreds of enemy cavalrymen on a straight road through the woods." "Can you manage?" "It's an order, isn't it?" "It is." "Griffith is trying to put the kid's skill to the test." "Poor guy, I doubt he'll make it through in one piece." "He might try to sneak away." "That's not it!" "Griffith wouldn't give him such an important job just as a test..." "Griffith truly counts on him." "Now I don't even have to bother killing him." "We are marching in the river rather than going alongside it." "Either way, the enemy won't predict us making a surprise attack by traveling up such a rapid stream..." "In addition, this gale will drown out the noise of our march." "Then we're going to set the fire from the windward side when we attack from behind." "Every element has been weighed carefully in his mind..." "It's freezing." "Too bad we ended up as sentries on such a creepy night." "Unlike us, even wolves wouldn't go out tonight." "T" " The enemy?" "W" " Why are they coming from that direction?" "E" " Enemy raid!" "An enemy raid?" "Set the fires!" "They set fire to the gunpowder!" "Don't stop to play with them!" "Break through in a single rush!" "Move double file!" "Clear out!" "General!" "It seems that the blaze approaching headquarters is being fanned by the gale!" "Damn!" "Take the heavy cavalry to the front!" "This is a disgrace to us knights, sitting back after headquarters was destroyed by mere mercenaries!" "It's amazing!" "I have never been part of such an efficient raid before..." "Now, it's my job to take care of the rest!" "Get out of here!" "I" " I will!" "Follow me..." "Come on, keep up!" "Good job, Griffith." "They will probably be stalled for at least a month..." "I still have my duties to complete." "Excuse me." "Hey!" "What an insolent attitude!" "How much is the damage?" "No big deal." "I see." "It's thanks to how well our rear guard held out the enemy could hardly get close to us." "He handled a group of heavy cavalrymen all by himself even though it was on a straight road in the woods." "He is really something." "Ricket!" "Where is Guts?" "He sent me on ahead." "I hope he's still alive." "It's time for me to go back..." "Damn it!" "I screwed up..." "Griffith!" "Grab my hand!" "Retreat!" "D" " Don't get them away!" "Why did you come back here?" "Don't talk!" "You'll bite your tongue!" "This is no good!" "They'll catch us because we're double mounted!" "Hang on!" "We're almost to the edge of the woods!" "Ready!" "Disperse!" "What?" "Fire!" "R" " Retreat!" "Retreat!" "At any rate, it was amazing the way Guts fought." "Just as Griffith expected, he has what it takes." "By the way, Guts is nowhere to be found." "Despite his age Griffith has the qualities of a great leader and the others rely on him completely." "Besides that, he's got perfect judgment and he knows how to take decisive action..." "He's more than just the leader of a mercenary band..." "Mr. Guts..." "What are you doing?" "Are you cooling off up here?" "Thanks for your help before." "I narrowly escaped because of you." "I'm Ricket." "I really admire you." "I have never seen anyone who is such an amazing fighter, except for Mr. Griffith." "I have done nothing but my duty." "I have no reason to be thanked." "The same thing goes for you." "Well, I'm not going to argue with you about it." "Anyway, come with us." "A party isn't as lively without the hero." "A feast is being held, partly as a welcome." "I" " I never asked for anything like that!" "W" " What are you doing?" "Don't touch me!" "Don't be shy." "L" " Let go of me!" "Hey, here he comes." "P" " Put me down, you big-headed bastard!" "I am Pippin." "Y" " You." "Drink." "Everyone!" "Let's drink in celebration of our brash new friend!" "I give you real credit, rookie!" "You're pretty impressive!" "You cut off the enemy's attack all by yourself, even when outnumbered!" "As Griffith thought, you have what it takes!" "You're a little messed up, but I feel better knowing you're with us!" "Let's kick back, rookie!" "That bastard..."
