The curtain rises on the campaign against the Draktor stronghold and the Ixia commences an all-out offensive. The tides of war ebb and flow in Yamato and company's favor through their strategies and wits. However, they would soon be blindsided by the Draktors' schemes.
As I thought, you're much more suited to 
the battlefield than the commander's seat.
Du bist du wirklich für das Schlachtfeld besser
geeignet als für den Stuhl des Kommandanten.
Comme je le soupçonnais, tu as plus
l’étoffe d’un soldat que d’un commandant.
Come pensavo, il tuo posto è sul campo
 di battaglia, non sulla sedia del comandante.
