Arslan : The foot soldiers will be led by Rukham and Shagad.	(0:00:06.37)
Arslan : The cavalry by Daryun. And the flying column by Kishward.	(0:00:08.87)
Arslan : In order to keep this short and decisive,	(0:00:13.38)
Arslan : it is vital that the cavalry charge into the castle.	(0:00:14.74)
Arslan : To do that, we must first breach the castle walls.	(0:00:17.68)
Arslan : The problem is what the enemy forces will be doing in the meantime.	(0:00:20.92)
Narsus : I have already plotted out various possible situations in my head.	(0:00:23.85)
Narsus : The most troublesome situation would be	(0:00:30.09)
Narsus : if the enemy were to make the most of their superior numbers, but...	(0:00:32.29)
Narsus : We have planned most thoroughly.	(0:00:36.36)
Narsus : Daryun.	(0:00:38.60)
Daryun : Yes, I know.	(0:00:39.60)
Arslan : I will be counting on you.	(0:00:43.54)
Daryun : Please leave it to me.	(0:00:44.91)
Daryun : I will bring Your Highness good news, without fail.	(0:00:46.54)
Arslan : Once the fighting has begun,	(0:01:01.16)
Arslan : I can only leave matters in everyone else's hands.	(0:01:03.56)
Arslan : If only there were something I could do as well...	(0:01:06.59)
Narsus : Your Highness is this army's banner.	(0:01:09.06)
Narsus : Awaiting in the rear for the results of the battle	(0:01:11.90)

Silvermask : Brave warriors of Lusitania!	(0:01:37.03)
Silvermask : By the imperial decree of His Majesty, Emperor Innocentis,	(0:01:40.70)
Silvermask : I have been charged to take command of this coalition force of 100 thousand!	(0:01:44.00)
Silvermask : Heed me well!	(0:01:48.30)
Silvermask : In this battle to take place here at the sacred Keep of Saint Emmanuel,	(0:01:49.84)
Silvermask : we must seize victory, without fail!	(0:01:53.98)
EXTRA : The wind stirs	(0:02:13.03)
EXTRA : We shiver, like it can see right through our shattered emotions	(0:02:15.56)
EXTRA : The day the moon is at the full	(0:02:23.04)
EXTRA : The life in the howl, ＂Don't leave us behind yet!＂	(0:02:25.57)
EXTRA : Can we take it back, that colored sky?	(0:02:32.18)
EXTRA : Once we send those dusty dreams swirling	(0:02:42.06)
EXTRA : And clench our fists	(0:02:47.26)
EXTRA : Run, run now, becoming a whirlwind	(0:02:52.03)
EXTRA : Clearing away all the feelings of inferiority and hopelessness	(0:02:57.54)
EXTRA : Gotta chase after that last door	(0:03:01.91)
EXTRA : No matter how many times we're broken, we'll turn the tables big	(0:03:06.95)
EXTRA : Even if we go hoarse, we want to deliver the song of prayer	(0:03:10.05)
EXTRA : If we, so unworthy, can steal the world that we've believed in	(0:03:16.79)
EXTRA : We're far, far, far, far from giving up	(0:03:24.77)
EXTRA : ＂Chapter XXIII: The Battle	(0:03:31.27)
Silvermask : All things upon this earth, by rights, belong to Lusitania!	(0:03:35.28)
Silvermask : The Parsian army, which does not understand this,	(0:03:40.78)
Silvermask : is none other than a band of pillagers!	(0:03:43.75)
Silvermask : The righteous cause is ours!	(0:03:46.12)
Silvermask : Pars is the Devil that would despoil our God's faithful!	(0:03:50.23)
EXTRA : That's right!	(0:03:55.13)
Silvermask : Destroy the heathens!	(0:03:57.23)
Silvermask : Our army is 100 thousand strong and we outnumber the enemy!	(0:04:02.94)
Silvermask : And it is I in command,	(0:04:07.58)
Silvermask : the man who thwarted and defeated Pars at Atropatene!	(0:04:08.98)
Silvermask : Follow me! I will promise you victory!	(0:04:13.08)
EXTRA : ＂Keep of Saint Emmanuel＂	(0:04:25.93)
EXTRA : ＂General, Kingdom of Pars: Rukham＂	(0:04:38.37)
Rukham : Siege towers and battering ram, move forward!	(0:04:38.81)
EXTRA : That is...	(0:05:03.70)
EXTRA : ...Lord Sàm!	(0:05:05.03)
EXTRA : Why?	(0:05:07.04)
EXTRA : This can't be...	(0:05:08.54)
EXTRA : For a glorious and honorable Marzbàn	(0:05:10.64)
EXTRA : ＂General, Kingdom of Pars: Shagad＂	(0:05:10.67)
EXTRA : to lower himself to become a Lusitanian pawn...	(0:05:13.17)
Elam : A report for you, sir.	(0:05:30.66)
Elam : The walls of the Keep of Saint Emmanuel	(0:05:32.26)
Elam : have yet to show any signs of weakness.	(0:05:34.26)
Elam : Additionally, some of the men have grown apprehensive.	(0:05:36.40)
Narsus : Is it because of Lord Sàm's presence?	(0:05:39.87)
Elam : Yes.	(0:05:41.84)
Arslan : The man is a renowned Marzbàn	(0:05:44.07)
Arslan : and it is said that no one knows how to defend a fortress better than he.	(0:05:46.07)
Arslan : It cannot be helped that the men are apprehensive.	(0:05:50.21)
Elam : Your Highness...	(0:05:52.58)
Arslan : It is all right, Elam.	(0:05:54.58)
Arslan : We already knew that Sàm was with my lord cousin.	(0:05:56.22)
Arslan : But even then, we must fight.	(0:05:59.95)
Arslan : For this is the path that I myself have chosen.	(0:06:02.39)
Etoile (Young) : Please excuse me.	(0:06:22.88)
EXTRA : ＂Lord of the Keep of Saint Emmanuel: Barcacion＂	(0:06:25.05)
Barcacion : Ah, Étoile.	(0:06:25.21)
Etoile (Young) : My lord count,	(0:06:28.15)
Etoile (Young) : I am of a mind to stand on the front line to fight in this battle as well.	(0:06:29.32)
Barcacion : Wait. Allowing you to be imperiled is--	(0:06:33.92)
Etoile (Young) : The enemy we face are heathens!	(0:06:36.79)
Etoile (Young) : To spread the rightful teachings of Yaldabaoth across this world	(0:06:38.59)
Etoile (Young) : and to that end, to fight the heathens.	(0:06:41.40)
Etoile (Young) : That is our duty as knights of Lusitania!	(0:06:43.13)
Etoile (Young) : I am ready and willing to imperil myself!	(0:06:45.33)
Etoile (Young) : I care not what happens to me!	(0:06:47.67)
Barcacion : That is no way to talk.	(0:06:51.14)
Etoile (Young) : Even if you will not grant me your permission,	(0:06:53.84)
Etoile (Young) : I will go join the battle.	(0:06:56.64)
Etoile (Young) : You have my apologies if you find that presumptuous.	(0:06:59.45)
Etoile (Young) : Please recognize that that is how greatly I desire to fight the heathens.	(0:07:03.68)
Etoile (Young) : Why can he not understand?	(0:07:19.20)
Etoile (Young) : This is a golden opportunity to destroy the heathen king.	(0:07:22.17)
Etoile (Young) : Even if I must sacrifice myself...	(0:07:25.17)
Alfreed : Aww... I wanted to fight on the front line, too.	(0:07:36.55)
Falangies : Tell me, Alfarīd.	(0:07:41.89)
Alfreed : What?	(0:07:43.49)
Falangies : You are of the Zot Clan, are you not?	(0:07:44.46)
Alfreed : I am. Something the matter with that?	(0:07:46.89)
Falangies : The Zot Clan is primarily a nomadic people,	(0:07:49.80)
Falangies : who does not recognize the authority of the Parsian palace.	(0:07:51.57)
Falangies : And yet, you have continued to fight alongside us all this time.	(0:07:55.37)
Alfreed : I guess.	(0:07:58.87)
Alfreed : Silver Mask did kill my old man...	(0:08:00.51)
Alfreed : And besides, I want to be of use to His Highness.	(0:08:04.71)
Falangies : For Lord Narsus's sake, is it?	(0:08:08.18)
Alfreed : Yeah. But that's not the only reason.	(0:08:10.25)
Alfreed : I have a feeling that Prince Arslan will manage to do something incredible.	(0:08:13.22)
Alfreed : After all, just look at how much my Narsus cares about him.	(0:08:20.39)
Alfreed : You think so, too, don't you, Farangis?	(0:08:24.93)
Falangies : I suppose so.	(0:08:27.54)
Falangies : Retaking the Royal Capital, restoring it, and reforming the country...	(0:08:29.70)
Falangies : At only 14 years of age, it is too weighty a mission for His Highness.	(0:08:34.74)
Falangies : And yet, His Highness makes one feel that he is capable of carrying it out.	(0:08:38.95)
Alfreed : Yeah.	(0:08:43.55)
Falangies : He , of all people, may be able to turn Pars into a kingdom of ideals.	(0:08:47.02)
EXTRA : Several hours into the siege,	(0:09:18.12)
EXTRA : as the Parsian soldiers were beginning to show signs of fatigue,	(0:09:20.99)
EXTRA : a significant shift occurred upon the battlefield.	(0:09:24.13)
EXTRA : The gate...	(0:09:30.26)
EXTRA : Why...?	(0:09:31.43)
EXTRA : Just charge in!	(0:09:32.90)
EXTRA : ＂Follower of Lord Silver Mask: Zandeh＂	(0:09:36.90)
Zandeh : This is tedious!	(0:09:46.85)
Zandeh : Prince Hilmes!	(0:09:51.29)
Zandeh : Watch me! I, Zandeh, will bring Arslan's head back to you!	(0:09:52.82)
Jaswant : Lord Daryun, it seems the enemy cavalry has sallied forth.	(0:10:02.10)
Daryun : Yes.	(0:10:05.50)
Daryun : Victory to our army! Yashasuiin!	(0:10:07.10)
EXTRA : Know the might of our Parsian cavalry!	(0:10:29.32)
Jaswant : You are a general who leads a company of Parsian soldiers.	(0:11:07.73)
Jaswant : Do not die!	(0:11:10.87)
EXTRA : I do not need your help for that!	(0:11:12.53)
Arslan : In a simple clash between two forces,	(0:11:25.85)
Arslan : with fewer men, my army is at a disadvantage.	(0:11:27.85)
Arslan : I hope things are going well with Kishward and his men...	(0:11:30.28)
Sam : So, you came, as I expected.	(0:11:47.20)
Kishward : Lord Sàm...	(0:11:49.40)
EXTRA : Parsian soldiers?!	(0:11:51.44)
Sam : Enter the Keep through the aqueduct and open the gates from within...	(0:11:53.64)
Sam : I imagine that was your plan, but...	(0:11:58.11)
Kishward : The head of Twin-Blade General Kishward	(0:12:06.55)
Kishward : is not so easily taken that the likes of you can manage it!	(0:12:09.16)
EXTRA : Attack him all together!	(0:12:11.73)
EXTRA : We fight, too!	(0:12:15.30)
Kishward : Lord Sàm, you are a proud knight of Pars.	(0:12:28.74)
Kishward : Why do you seek to impede Prince Arslan in his path to the throne?	(0:12:33.31)
Sam : For Prince Hilmes's sake.	(0:12:36.78)
Sam : He deserves to at least have me by his side.	(0:12:38.79)
Kishward : Do you know what Prince Hilmes has done?!	(0:12:42.86)
Kishward : He invaded the Royal Capital and brought it down!	(0:12:46.09)
Sam : I know this!	(0:12:48.33)
Kishward : Then...	(0:12:49.46)
Sam : Right now, he is consumed with rage and a desire for revenge,	(0:12:51.27)
Sam : but that will surely pass in time.	(0:12:54.60)
Sam : And afterwards, he is certain to be capable	(0:12:56.27)
Sam : of leading Pars as a good king!	(0:12:58.27)
Kishward : Obsessed with the throne, he made his own people suffer.	(0:13:00.37)
Kishward : Who would recognize such a man as king?!	(0:13:04.48)
EXTRA : In terms of numbers and such,	(0:13:13.15)
EXTRA : it appears our cavalry has the upper hand.	(0:13:14.52)
EXTRA : Also, Lord Sàm has gone to protect the aqueduct.	(0:13:16.99)
Silvermask : All right. You are dismissed.	(0:13:20.90)
EXTRA : Yes, sir.	(0:13:22.96)
Silvermask : Curse that Zandeh. Taking the liberty of acting on his own...	(0:13:25.97)
Silvermask : Arslan...	(0:13:30.04)
Silvermask : The humiliation and hardship that I have suffered to this day...	(0:13:32.04)
Silvermask : I will make sure that you suffer the same as I have!	(0:13:36.81)
EXTRA : You damn savages!	(0:14:02.17)
EXTRA : Glory to God!	(0:14:03.87)
EXTRA : Don't let him get away!	(0:14:08.28)
EXTRA : In the name of God!	(0:14:09.51)
Kubard : Hell if I know the name of your god.	(0:14:14.78)
Kubard : Looks like you're in a tough fight.	(0:14:26.56)
Etoile (Young) : Repent and convert to the Faith of Yaldabaoth!	(0:14:35.20)
Etoile (Young) : Do that and this fighting...	(0:14:38.57)
EXTRA : Don't give me that garbage!	(0:14:39.97)
EXTRA : Drop dead!	(0:15:03.60)
EXTRA : You fanatic!	(0:15:04.47)
Etoile (Young) : Why can you not understand?!	(0:15:06.13)
Etoile (Young) : Wha...!	(0:15:12.24)
Etoile (Young) : He's...	(0:15:35.36)
Etoile (Young) : I saw him that time!	(0:15:37.03)
Etoile (Young) : What's he doing there?	(0:15:39.43)
EXTRA : Hold them off at all costs!	(0:15:58.95)
EXTRA : Protect His Highness!	(0:16:00.49)
Zandeh : Out of my way!	(0:16:02.06)
EXTRA : Someone stop him!	(0:16:06.23)
Zandeh : The enemy's main camp is right in front of us!	(0:16:10.50)
Zandeh : There it is.	(0:16:15.84)
Zandeh : Charge!	(0:16:17.04)
Zandeh : Arslan!	(0:16:26.01)
Zandeh : Your head is mine!	(0:16:28.05)
EXTRA : There's no one here!	(0:16:40.26)
EXTRA : What?!	(0:16:42.70)
EXTRA : Retreat!	(0:16:43.56)
EXTRA : They deceived us!	(0:16:57.58)
EXTRA : So, this main camp was just for show.	(0:16:59.18)
Narsus : Your Highness, do you remember what I spoke of before?	(0:17:06.19)
Narsus : Of the first step to take in any strategy?	(0:17:09.12)
Arslan : Of course.	(0:17:12.86)
Arslan : To make the enemy focus their manpower where we wish them to.	(0:17:14.43)
Arslan : Yes?	(0:17:19.10)
Zandeh : Retreat for a time and then regroup...	(0:17:24.47)
Daryun : I have not seen you since we fought near Peshawar.	(0:17:32.91)
Zandeh : Daryun!	(0:17:36.22)
Daryun : So, even after falling from that cliff, you did not die...	(0:17:40.22)
Daryun : You are a hardy bastard.	(0:17:43.29)
Daryun : Surrender! I will kill you this time!	(0:17:46.49)
Zandeh : Those are my words!	(0:17:49.26)
Zandeh : You, I must kill myself!	(0:18:00.11)
Zandeh : For my father Kharlan!	(0:18:03.51)
Zandeh : Out of his sense of loyalty to the rightful king,	(0:18:07.51)
Zandeh : my lord father suffered the anguish of bending the knee to Lusitania!	(0:18:11.15)
Zandeh : And still under the pall of that humiliation and disgrace,	(0:18:14.59)
Zandeh : he was killed by you!	(0:18:16.79)
Zandeh : But when Prince Hilmes becomes king of Pars,	(0:18:18.63)
Zandeh : my lord father's name will be cleared!	(0:18:21.36)
Zandeh : It will surely be proven that we are the true loyal subjects!	(0:18:23.60)
Sam : Just what I would expect of a knight feared by our neighboring countries	(0:18:33.27)
Sam : and known to be the man securing our eastern border.	(0:18:35.98)
Sam : I would not have wanted you for an enemy.	(0:18:39.61)
Kishward : You safeguarded the Royal Capital of Pars for a long time.	(0:18:43.38)
Kishward : I, too, did not wish to fight you in this way.	(0:18:47.86)
Sam : It cannot be helped.	(0:18:50.99)
Sam : We have gone down separate paths.	(0:18:52.56)
Sam : Two kings cannot rule one kingdom.	(0:18:56.30)
Sam : Cruel though it may be, that has ever been the unyielding rule.	(0:18:57.90)
Kishward : Aye!	(0:19:01.37)
Kishward : Thus, all there is for us to do is to fight for what we believe in!	(0:19:03.90)
EXTRA : Lord Sàm!	(0:19:10.21)
EXTRA : Protect him!	(0:19:12.35)
EXTRA : They're here!	(0:19:15.22)
Zandeh : My lord father's long-held dream	(0:19:28.93)
Zandeh : was the coronation of Prince Hilmes! I will not let you stand in its way!	(0:19:30.66)
Daryun : We are alike.	(0:19:36.50)
Daryun : You and I.	(0:19:38.17)
Daryun : And Lord Kharlan as well.	(0:19:40.07)
Daryun : We are men who can do naught	(0:19:42.51)
Daryun : but fight for the lord and master we believe in.	(0:19:44.18)
Zandeh : Do not speak of my father!	(0:19:46.91)
Daryun : I took to the battlefield with Lord Kharlan many a time.	(0:19:49.38)
Daryun : He was a knight worthy of respect.	(0:19:54.45)
Zandeh : To clear my father's name!	(0:20:00.06)
Zandeh : For the sake of Prince Hilmes's path to the throne!	(0:20:02.13)
Zandeh : I will lay you low!	(0:20:04.63)
Daryun : I commend your mettle.	(0:20:06.90)
Daryun : If we did not serve different masters,	(0:20:09.04)
Daryun : we may have been surprisingly kindred of spirit.	(0:20:11.74)
Daryun : You!	(0:20:48.74)
EXTRA : We must have you folk shed yet more blood.	(0:20:51.11)
Daryun : He disappeared...	(0:21:02.59)
EXTRA : It looks like the enemy was successfully lured to the fake camp.	(0:21:09.83)
EXTRA : Yeah, this should give us the advantage...	(0:21:13.60)
Elam : The Lusitanian troops who were lured into the fake camp	(0:21:18.17)
Elam : appear to have been virtually wiped out.	(0:21:21.11)
Arslan : Mm.	(0:21:23.34)
Narsus : With this, we have now managed to whittle down the enemy's forces.	(0:21:24.38)
Narsus : The remaining problem is the castle gate, but...	(0:21:27.81)
EXTRA : Stop them!	(0:21:29.52)
Arslan : What is that?	(0:21:30.82)
EXTRA : Don't let them through!	(0:21:31.65)
Narsus : Elam, see to His Highness.	(0:21:33.02)
Arslan : Lusitanian soldiers?	(0:21:34.82)
Etoile (Young) : Is this where you are, Arslan?!	(0:21:36.52)
EXTRA : Your Highness!	(0:21:41.50)
Arslan : You are...	(0:21:45.40)
Etoile (Young) : Why?	(0:21:48.30)
Etoile (Young) : Why are you here?	(0:21:49.67)
Etoile (Young) : I-I have no use for the head of a boy like you!	(0:21:53.47)
Etoile (Young) : The cowardly bastard hiding from us...	(0:21:56.21)
Etoile (Young) : Prince Arslan! Where is he?!	(0:21:57.68)
Etoile (Young) : What does this mean?	(0:22:05.89)
Etoile (Young) : Don't tell me...	(0:22:09.32)
Arslan : I am...	(0:22:23.84)
Arslan : ...Arslan.	(0:22:25.84)
EXTRA : Surely, all the souls you have encountered	(0:22:38.89)
EXTRA : Were no mistake, not a one	(0:22:43.46)
EXTRA : Harboring the same dreams	(0:22:46.73)
EXTRA : I thought of the people who took a different path	(0:22:48.96)
EXTRA : Raising up my weather-beaten yearnings	(0:22:53.43)
EXTRA : I move through the wilderness	(0:22:56.87)
EXTRA : For neither smiles, nor those tears	(0:22:59.24)
EXTRA : Can be left behind abandoned here	(0:23:03.74)
EXTRA : Harboring the shadows of summer, so white, so high	(0:23:08.45)
