The vanishing of the Spearhead Squadron beyond the horizon barely conceals the ferocity of San Magnolia"s relentless propaganda. Vladilena Milizé remains in her role as "Handler One," the leader of yet another mechanized 86th unit fighting the Legion in an unending war.
On the western front, Shinei Nouzen and his men are isolated at a military installation run by the Federal Republic of Giad, the former Giadian Empire. The newly formed state grants the rescued Eighty‑Six full citizenship and liberty. Presided over by President Ernst Zimmerman, the squad encounters his adopted daughter and the final Empress, Augusta Frederica Adel‑Adler.
Yet amid this fragile peace, Shinei and his squad feel their true calling lies on the battlefield. Soon they find themselves again amid the Legion"s assault as part of Giad"s Nordlicht Squadron, with Augusta Frederica in tow. And, as history repeats itself, they realize that regardless of allegiance, death and suffering on the front are all they truly understand. Their resolve hardens, and the cycle of conflict continues unabated across the shattered lands for the future.
