"Count Sebring." "Count Raffia." "Count Orga." "Thank you all for allowing me to intrude on your valuable time." "Count Troyard." "What happened to Count Saazbaum is most regrettable." "my father was greatly indebted to him." "whatever assistance you may request is yours." "that is most kind." "now is not the time to wallow in individual sentimentality." "Most commendable." "This is the time for the Orbital Knights to band together and press forward with the invasion of Earth." "That is the best way to honor Count Saazbaum." "Indeed." "Our ships must sail forward together towards the same goal." "now I see." "then?" "If I may be so presumptuous." "By the way..." "I understand that you are to duel Count Marylcian?" "I find it odd to be fighting when we must band together." "Count Troyard?" "No lowly Terran..." "No lowly Terran could possibly be a match for mighty Vers." "Such an assumption creates an opening." "Which becomes a tear." "And then an enormous hole." "And then it disintegrates completely." "That is the current state of the Orbital Knights." "Count Troyard!" "I am not Vers-born." "being an outsider affords me a certain perspective." "This upcoming duel is also the result of an Orbital Knight's hubris." "I believe it to be my responsibility to teach him the error of his ways." "I see." "You have a point." "Count Orga!" "it is the truth." "at least." "Count Troyard." "Your attack on Trident Base was magnificent." "Count Raffia." "Thank you for doing me the honor of listening to my many rude remarks." "All cruise missiles appear to have been intercepted." "Looks like a saturation attack isn't gonna work." "Scorching Solis. as well." "It's quite the monster..." "Message from assault team." "They're about to make landfall." "Launch cruise missiles." "Keep his attention on us." "huh?" "people!" "everyone!" "Inko?" "Inko!" "Yes?" "Rayet..." "What?" "Ma..." "Mazoo..." "Count Mazuurek?" "him!" "How do you suppose he escaped?" "Beats me." "I wonder if Inaho knows anything." "Why?" "he went to interrogate him." "Did you hear anything?" "Nothing." "Oh." "Time to launch." "Let's go." "Yeah." "Inko." "To think that such a simple mechanism can indicate one's bearings..." "Such a device would only work on a planet with a magnetic field." "then..." "Count Troyard and Inaho Kaizuka." "Both are sons of Earth." "Can they be trusted?" "eh?" "I suppose." "Slaine?" "so I cannot back down." "This happened because I allowed Count Marylcian's visit." "Not at all." "It is thanks to you." "It is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate my strength. it will act as a deterrent against Orbital Knights who oppose me." "There is nothing to be concerned about." "won't it?" "I have no dream to..." "A Terran who had been held in contempt now holds genuine power within Vers." "I have felt it ever since we first met." "That you and I were kindred spirits." "Do you intend to hold on to your grudge against the royal family forever?" "Yes." "It's incredibly satisfying to see someone without a drop of Versian blood in him gaining power." "either." "Of your princess." "don't you?" "If I may..." "Would you let me help you?" "I don't mind if I am only my sister's substitute." "report in!" "in position!" "in position!" "in position!" "in position!" "in position!" "There's no way to evade that bastard's beam weapon." "Assume you're history if you're spotted." "Begin operation!" "eh?" "Clever monkeys." "What the hell?" "!" "Fool." "Clydesdale Leader to all platoons!" "Deploy on the south bank and keep that smoke up!" "You waste your time... fire!" "Keep his attention on us!" "Don't get hit!" "How are we supposed to get his attention and not get hit?" "!" "Where's Nao?" "!" "Up you go." "Be careful." "I'm patching you in!" "Acoustic analysis." "Enemy coordinates pinpointed." "90.085579." "Roger that." "Targeting location." "Fire." "roger." "one." "What's that?" "025." "It came from the sea!" "Fire." "eh?" "!" "Missed us!" "A beam weapon can only fire in a straight line." "it can't hit us. they can reach over the horizon." "As long as it's possible to target the thing." "472." "fire!" "how are they targeting me so accurately without observation satellites?" "!" "Is that it?" "The UAVs that were relaying our laser comms have been taken out!" "We can't get through to Ensign Kaizuka!" "Rayet!" "Go to tracer rounds." "Fire exactly as I say!" "huh." "Nao!" "Bastard!" "ma'am!" "Do you seriously think you can bring down my Solis from that far?" "get clear!" "Warrant Officer Kaizuka!" "Stay back!" "Crap!" "Second volley!" "And a third!" "003!" "Fire!" "Kaizuka!" "That's right!" "Stand right there and monologue at me!" "Be reduced to ash by my scorching light!" "you frog-faced bastard!" "Yuki!" "I'm okay." "I just lost an arm." "How about you guys?" "too." "it's not." "Warrant Officer." "don't talk like you're superior to me just because you're a higher rank." "I am your superior." "No little brother can order his big sister around." "Clydesdale Leader to all units." "Mission complete." "Returning to base." "These are flowers called roses that bloom on Earth." "Is something the matter?" "Milord Slaine?" "I've fought for my life many times before." "But you..." "Miss Eddelrittuo?" "You used to glare at me all the time." "That was the past." "Roses signify many different things in the language of flowers." "while blue roses mean "miracle." "Miracle..." "But blue roses have one other meaning." "That meaning... might be true." "Let's be off!" "launch!" "Milord Slaine." "launching." "The sight of a lowborn putting on airs is offensive to me." "I shall exact punishment." "Usurping an official post out of self-interest without cause disturbs both order and public peace." "I will punish you." "This will be a duel between Count Marylcian and Count Troyard." "Begin!" "just as the rumors say." "But can you escape from my Herschel's attacks?" "Milord Slaine!" "not even you can cope with this many." "What?" "!" "you're fairly clever after all." "Nevertheless!" "it is futile!" "The flower language meaning of blue roses is "miracle"..." "But their other meaning is "the impossible." "Is it... is it truly hopeless?" "Will she truly never wake up again?" "Please..." "Please give him a miracle!" "I see..." "So it meant the impossible." "I believe in you!" "There are no miracles!" "Slaine!" "Is running all you can do?" "!" "You inferior scum!" "Inaho?" "What are you looking at?" "They're fighting." "Where?" "There's nowhere left to run!" "You're the one who has nowhere to run." "The Herschel's greatest weapon is a simultaneous attack from all directions." "your attack is confined to just one." "Material loading tunnels used during the moonbase's construction." "I've been mapping them out." "I won't be bested by the likes of you!" "Terran?" "!" "Victor..." "Count Troyard." "all of Count Marylcian's assets are to be transferred to Count Slaine Saazbaum Troyard." "Do you object?" "certify the outcome." "It's over." "can't you?" "Yes." "But I can't see what I really want to know." "I'm sorry." "I didn't want to get you involved." "Jerk. the new policy that we shall adopt. do not need to rely on the Vers homeworld forever." "Children eventually grow up and they must leave their mothers' protection and strike out on their own. and proclaim that I shall create a new kingdom here in Earthspace." "I always admired you." "and beloved by all." "You had everything that I did not." "Sister." "Royal blood." "The Aldnoah activation factor." "It is a power that Slaine has need of now." "I have decided on Slaine." "And Slaine has chosen me." "I am Asseylum Vers Allusia." "Sister." "I'm lying." "you are still my sister." "Pleasant dreams."
