51

Yang announces a rest period prior to the final confrontation, leading to a strategic discussion with Julian regarding the opposing objectives. The Alliance aims to eliminate Reinhard, whereas the Empire seeks to delay until reinforcements arrive to encircle their enemies. During this lull, Yang confesses his deep guilt over the casualties caused by his pursuit of personal happiness and proposes marriage to Frederica for after the war. She accepts enthusiastically. Subsequently, both fleets initiate combat with extreme caution, as each side suspects the other of employing traps or deceptive tactics during the engagement.
