A Wind of Swords
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.
R-Retreat, retreat! Y-Your Majesty! Captain, Captain Guts! It was amazing, Captain! You took them in one charge! That was something else! Nothing less from the commander of the Hawks' Raiders! You're our boss, all right! You did a good job, too Sorry, I got a little carried away.
No need to apologize.
We get to brag about our commander to everyone else! He's right! Now, let's have a drink to celebrate! Captain Guts! Big Sister Caska Commander Caska! We need to talk.
Can I have your ear for minute, Sir Captain Guts? Hey, start without me.
I'll catch up.
What's going on? They're going to start arguing again.
It's probably over the Captain's lone charge into battle.
What did you think you were doing? About what? Don't give me that! Our plan for that last battle was to act as support for the main force's charge while our companies each cover a flank and contain the enemy's attack.
Despite your success you ruined our battle plans, charging alone into the center of the enemy! Who do you think you are, some hero? Even though we were lucky this time Your self-centered actions could put all the Hawks in serious danger! Try to keep your position in mind sometimes! I apologize! I'll be careful in the future.
You always say that! You're always insincere, you just repeat the same thing You haven't changed at all, not since you jumped on Griffith three years ago.
All you care about is swinging your sword in battle.
You don't care at all about your men.
You're just a mad dog! Say that again Say that again if you dare! Why don't you two calm down now? Griffith! Caska, I will give Guts some advice Griffith, you're too soft on him.
You go through too much trouble for him, Sister Caska.
He's Griffith's favorite pet.
You just end up taking all the blame whenever you confront him.
Well, I'm willing to help whenever you want to bump him off.
Sorry.
Damn it! You two fight like cats and dogs.
Yet, you have spent almost three years in the same band.
I care about them In my own way, I do care about my men.
I'm not who I was in the past.
It takes me back to three years ago.
You were wandering from battlefield to battlefield.
And we had a duel that resulted in you joining the Hawks.
That duel was so much fun I think of that duel as an ideal contest Come on, now.
You will be the toast of tonight's drinking.
Griffith About today's battle l'm sorry.
I drew up my battle plans with your tendencies in mind.
Not quarreling with some evil design Not straying from virtue Sacrifice thyself ceaselessly This is absolutely unheard of.

Uphold the law, know the subjects If we sit back now, we'll disappear.
Be valiant, with due courtesy and fidelity They have no choice but to acknowledge the Hawks' ability.
Because we have continuously distinguished ourselves in battle.
Right, Ricket? It's farewell to the humble mercenary life we've been publicly admitted into the regular army.
Watch your tongue if you know where we are, Corkus.
We're in the middle of a ceremony.
From now on, our behavior could reflect badly on Griffith.
There is no longer any excuse to act like boorish mercenaries.
Okay, Okay, I understand, Commander Caska, Ma'am.
She's tougher than my mom.
What was that? Hey, we're at a ceremony! Those commoners Wait a minute, he's not here again! One hundred ninety-five One hundred ninety-six One hundred ninety-seven One hundred ninety-eight One hundred ninety-nine Two hundred! Thanks for scouting, Judeau.
So, what's going on at the enemy's supply base? Their defense focuses on this side, so our information was correct.
It's not much of a force, though.
If so, we should try to outflank them or something.
No We attack them from the front.
But that's dangerous! Our objective is to capture the enemy supply base as soon as possible.
We could probably reach the armory swiftly by attacking from behind However, we would also draw the garrison over to the armory if we did that.
In that case, it would take more time to completely occupy the fort.
I see to thin the fort's guard, we should attack from the front of the supply base.
Yes.
Additionally We'll deal with the armory as soon as possible.
Be extremely careful after breaking through the fort's central gate.
So, what's our formation? First, Guts and Caska's companies will attract the garrisons' attention.
The main company will ride into the fort and break through the front.
I got it.
As soon as the preparations are complete, we'll start the operation.
Oh boy Guts will end up snatching the credit again! Hey, you want to argue with me? Caska! Griffith gave those orders! We are no longer mercenaries.
Keep that in mind.
Look, if you go off on your own again you will Guts! I'm depending on you, Caska.
Why should I l, the leader of the Blue Whale Heavy Assault Knights, Sir Adon Why do I have to patrol this miserable supply base and its armory? Sir, it's because the Black Ram Heavy Cavalry was crippled, so we were installed here as a substitute.
Hush! I know that! It ill becomes a member of the glorious Coborlwitz family to engage in this mission.
Damn! What is it? Well, I see something Hey! Commander Adon! It's an enemy raid! Don't be foolish! Who on Earth would bother to attack such a remote supply base? W-What? T-This is Don't fall back! You son of a bitch! C-Commander! Shit! He's doing it again! Hold it, Guts! Did you forget our duty? Get out my way! Guts! Griffith! It's a trap! Turn around! What? Retreat! Retreat? That can't be! Hurry up, Corkus! What the hell? Take shelter! That was my special fleeing technique, Bakuretsu Funsai! It's been handed down through the Coborlwitz family for 300 years! B-But, the fort, our important supply base is Shut up! Quit yapping! Now, withdraw the troops! Is everyone all right? I'm glad everyone is okay! It's thanks to Guts.
But really, that explosion was something else! All the spoils were destroyed.
It's no big deal.
We were able to achieve our objective and damage the enemy supply base.
What are you talking about? You are totally an amateur, kid.
Lay off, I know I'm young! What's bothering you? Get to the point, if you have something to say! It's not like you to hesitate! Shut up! I just I just want to say that your actions in battle today were right.
I just did whatever I wanted, like always.
It's different! You were just desperately trying to protect Griffith.
But I didn't understand that So I mean I'm sorry.
Midland's troops were no match for me, ants could have staged a better assault! I completely defeated them.
So, did you confirm that they were totally destroyed? Of course I did, General Boscogn! You buffoon! They are alive and they occupy the supply base! H-How could it be? Get lost! Waste no time in undoing this disgrace to the Empire! Y-Yes, sir! Calm down.
Governor Gennon The loss of a supply base changes nothing in the overall war.
However, we must inflict a crushing defeat on those insects.
Especially the impertinent Band of the Hawk Band of the Hawk? What's wrong? Never mind Leave it to the Hawks? Yes, I will trust them with our next offensive's castle siege.
Excuse me, Your Majesty but can we charge boorish troops like them with such an important mission? I agree with him.
My army would lead the offensive if we were allowed Could I count on you? Do you have perfect confidence in your ability to win? My intentions will not change.
Send word to Griffith.
When the preparations are completed, they will take the field immediately.
