With the return of Yang to the battlefield, the Imperial fleet increasingly loses momentum and is now on the verge of collapse. Admiral Kempff has to come to terms with the fact that his forces are no longer capable of holding the front line, and sends an order of general retreat to all ships. But this is not necessarily an admission of defeat, because he has one last card to play.
Yang Wen-li est enfin de retour et les forces du Reich menées par l’amiral Karl Gustav Kempf sont exsangues. La conquête d’Iserlohn a tourné au fiasco. Mais pour Kempf, il reste une carte à jouer : celle de l’honneur et du sacrifice.
O Almirante Kempff chega à mesma conclusão que o Duque Lohengramm, e decide jogar a Fortaleza Geiersburg contra Iserlohn numa tentativa desesperada de desestabilizar o posto mais avançado das forças da Aliança. Prevendo que isso aconteceria, Yang Wen-li, agora de volta, coordena sua frota para impedir o pior.
켐프는 가이에스부르크 요새 통째로 이제르론 요새에 들이박기로 결심한다. 장병들을 모두 탈출시키고 홀로 이제르론 요새로 돌진하는 켐프와, 어떻게 해서든 가이에스부르크 요새를 저지해야 하는 양. 치열했던 요새 대 요새 전투가 결말을 향해 치닫는다.
