Ernesti Echevalier,
my Vyver and your Demon...
Whose technology is superior?
Let's finish this, Oratio Gojass.
Now, let's begin our party!
Welcome, Ernesti Echevalier!
I swear on my robot soul that I won't let that happen!
I won't!
Final Chapter:
Let's go! Anti-air ramming ship Jilbaveil, full speed ahead!
Don't blame me for whatever happens!
So the demon's levitate ship intends to ram us?
Ankyurosa, shoot it down!
Now! Portside jet thrusters, full power!
Run away!
It spun? Now?
We won't let it get away!
It fell for it!
All according to Ernie's plan!
Ernesti's plan...
Up here, we can fight all we want!
Time for the counterattack!
Awaken, Bespiari!
Don't think you can just fire a bunch and hope they hit!
Burn them down!
What's this?
What's happening?
That's oil.
What did the demon do?
Like them?
These are special detonation javelins!
Poor robots, your freedom stolen...
I shall put an end to this with my own hands!
Get those fires out!
We've lost five Ankyurosas on the side!
Not yet...
There's still hope.
The Blood Grail?
So the time's come, you think?
Want to try it?
The power that exceeds even the demon's...
I call it "maximize."
The fortress's drawbridges are moving!
What?
Okay, I saw one of the drawbridges come down.
Well done, Commander Cunitz.
You, too.
I won't forget the Azure Hawk's name.
Well done, don't you think?
There's only one way to fight back now!
We'll use this "maximize."
Activate the Blood Grail!
Roger!
Activating the Blood Grail!
Linking element crystal collapse.
High-density ether is being supplied to all reactors.
Activating maximized form!
Oh? What's that?
The dragon's blood is overflowing around the ship, isn't it?
I guess the heart was a little too big for the body?
Truly fascinating!
What is that?
A shining dragon?
A worthy opponent!
Once we're maximized, long-range attacks can't scratch us!
Then we'll use this power against the demon!
Taste the rage of our fallen prince!
This fortress once belonged to Kuschpercha.
We're taking it back!
I can fight you on my own.
With my Deadman's Sword, I'll kill you all!
You're bluffing!
Move!
Damn it!
Everybody get back, I'll fight him!
A Silhouette Knight equipped with multiple swords...
The one Dietrich was talking about?
You're going to let me through!
Take this!
I guess it's not only the red one who's got guts, huh?
I won't let you get away with this any more!
Great! I like that stuff.
If I destroy you, I can deprive the reborn kingdom of its momentum!
That's putting the cart before the horse!
That was close!
Mission complete!
Right!
Black Knights, kick their asses!
Eleonora, are you okay?
Everybody is doing their best.
Watching them with my own eyes is my job.
Demon... give it up!
A shining dragon!
But a ship made by man can't grow in size!
In other words, that's a type of barrier!
It's just wearing the overflowing mana like a cloak!
If long-range attacks won't work,
there's only one way to win.
Concentrate mana to the Sworded Cannon and break through,
then attack at point-blank range!
Like a moth to the flame...
We'll destroy you with the Incinerate Flame!
You can't hit the Ikaruga!
Dragonic Claw!
Unfortunately, I saw that coming, too!
Welcome, Ernesti Echevalier!
Every weapons designer wants more destructive power.
But it's inelegant to try and get it by growing massive!
Weapons don't need aesthetics.
All they need is to work.
Humanoid weapons are the greatest!
A thing without a philosophy will someday be destroyed!
A shame! A true shame!
That technology!
That power!
A Levitate Ship...
A Silhouette Knight...
...is what you should offer it to!
Demon!
He's tough!
A flying Silhouette Knight is just a toy!
And in the face of the vast power of reality,
toys will be helpless as they're destroyed!
I swear on my robot soul that I won't let that happen!
I won't let you!
I swear on my swords that you'll never make it through!
Look at the other bridge!
The battle is over already!
I don't care!
Even if I'm alone...
I'll cut you all to ribbons!
Wake up, Deadman's!
Take this! Take this!
I'll give you credit, white unit.
You can be proud of that as you die!
It can't end yet!
My partner, this is the critical moment!
I've finally caught you!
The battle is over!
What?
We're not fighting alone!
No!
Grit your teeth, Edgar!
Blast...
Howling!
God damn it!
Well done, Aldirat!
You did great, my partner!
Disappear into the darkness of history
as an example of failure in weapons development!
External equipment damage in sector three exceeds 80 percent!
High-density ether supply is refusing to stabilize!
Sector eight has gone silent!
Why?
It's just one Silhouette Knight...
In terms of the physical end product,
if not the design itself,
I'll give you credit, Ernesti Echevalier.
The drake...
It shrank?
I'll give you my life,
but not victory!
What? That's...
No!
As long as I can kill the queen, the reborn Kuschpercha is doomed!
Queen Eleonora!
I don't even have the mana left to breath fire,
but if I use the Vyver itself as a weapon...
Your highness! The drake!
Please go!
Eleonora, let's run away!
No.
The queen must not flee from the enemy.
I believe that you'll protect me.
He's heading for the main camp!
Eleonora!
I won't let you!
Must you always get in my way, demon?!
The Ikaruga's Behemoth's Heart and Queen's Coronet aren't just for show!
He's stronger than me?
Then...
The queen and the camp are in danger!
But if I let go I can't stop the drake from crashing!
Queen Eleonora!
Damn it!
Is there anything I can do?
No...
I got an awful idea.
Boss!
Get the ship close to him!
What are you going to do?
Punch him until he stops!
What?!
Does that idiot have a death wish?
Don't die, Kid!
I won't!
Gustav, I leave the rest to you!
Glory to Zaloudek!
The enemy drake...
It's turning away!
I guess I showed off a little too much.
But if Queen Eleonora's safe, I guess it's okay!
Kid!
Leave the Tzendolimble and come here!
You're late, Ernie!
The Tzendolimble we made together...
I'm sorry.
The Vyver fell!
The Order of the Bronze Wing has lost!
Our victory is inevitable!
Advance, knights of the reborn Kingdom of Kuschpercha!
Capture Shilda Neryaku and retake the capital!
The loss of the drake battleship resulted in the loss of Zaloudek's air superiority.
They collapsed in the face of the Kuschperchan assault
as Shilda Neryaku fell.
The capital, Delvancul, had used all of its forces to defend the fort,
and was able to offer no resistance as the kingdom's forces advanced.
And thus, the ambitions of the Kingdom of Zaloudek collapsed.
The spring of Western Year 1283.
The coronation held at Delvancul did much to tell the surrounding nations
that Kuschpercha had returned.
And thus Eleonora became both the de facto and de jure Queen of Kuschpercha.
Get that stuff loaded!
Take too long, and I'll give you a kick in the ass!
Sheesh...
You sure did a job of wrecking these.
Sorry, boss.
We believe you'll be able to repair them perfectly.
That's obvious.
You'll be busy when we get back, huh, boss?
So will you!
I'm sorry, Ernie.
Scrap and build is the way of the world.
As long as you're safe, I don't care.
I got a great present, too!
Your Highness!
What?
Isadola, is it okay to bring her here?
No, I said I wanted to come.
Knight...
Y-Yeah?
You're leaving, aren't you?
Yeah.
When I came here, it was in a carriage and a Silhouette Knight,
but I'm leaving in a Levitate Ship.
I won't forget how you protected me.
And how you saved Kuschpercha.
I didn't do anything that special.
No...
Once things calm down, come to Fremmevilla, okay?
Of course.
B-Bye!
Kid, you dummy!
That's not what you're supposed to say!
If Kid was a Silhouette Knight, I'd be rewriting his script!
Are you really one to talk?
Our knightly order is full of dense men.
What?
Let me stay like this for just a moment.
After that, I'll go back to being a queen.
Thank you, Archid Alter.
Bye!
Come back soon!
Take care!
Weren't there other things you could've said?
No, that was plenty.
Next time we meet, I need to be better than I am now!
Listen up, men!
Seven more mountains, and we're back in Zaloudek!
We're getting back alive if it kills us!
Variable Magius Jet Thrusters, huh?
Truly interesting.
Ernesti Echevalier...
How far can your aesthetics take you?
I can't wait to find out.
Of course,
you're going to be learning more about my theories soon, too.
Now then, where should I sell my technology next?
Ernie, I'm cold, so let's go inside!
Today the boss is making pot-au-feu!
Silver Phoenixes, splendidly done!
Especially you Knight Runners.
I am impressed by your bravery.
I shall never forget your exploits!
And Knightsmiths, you worked so hard, day and night.
Without your endurance,
the Knight Runners would have not been able to do as well as they did.
And Knight Commander,
you did a great job letting my worthless grandson have some glory.
I will reward you with anything you like.
Tell me what you want.
Okay, I won't hold back!
Not bad.
Our own lab, huh?
It's not bad,
but you could've asked for other stuff, right?
You're so not greedy, Ernie.
What are you talking about?
Nobody's as greedy as me.
My wish is to acquire all the most amazing Knight Runner technology,
the best Knightsmiths,
and the best Silhouette Knights!
First, I must make a Silhouette Knight that flies more beautifully and efficiently.
For that, I must re-examine the fundamentals of the Crystal Tissue and Ether Reactor!
I may need a new script to go with the ones for fluid and heat mechanics!
And it's not just Silhouette Knights!
If I could make a flying Silhouette Gear,
it would change the sky,
no, change people's lives!
That has to be impossible.
It's fine! I can do it!
Fine.
Enough.
It'll be sunset before that silver-haired boy is done talking about his dreams.
Agreed.
I'm hungry.
Um, everyone...
Ernie, stop looking at your dreams and look at what's around you.
Around me?
But I think I am...
Jeez...
The Western Grand Storm, which began with an offensive by the Kingdom of Zaloudek,
brought Levitate Ship technology to all the nations.
The people gained a new way to move from place to place,
and a new era came about,
which would later be known as the Great Age of Airships.
But that's another story.
Robots are a man's romance!
