Expendable child soldiers maintain their pride on a merciless battlefield.
About
The Republic of San Magnolia. There, a "war with zero casualties by unmanned drones" was supposed to be taking place. However, the ones piloting the scrap-metal drones known as Juggernauts are the "86"—boys and girls treated as subhuman. In the Spearhead Squadron, a living hell on the front lines, you are ordered to charge as a weaponless decoy amidst the swirl of explosions and gunpowder. The moment a fellow soldier dies in the mud, a cold voice reaches you from behind the safety of the walls. "Your lives buy one second for us citizens." Those words ignite a fire in your cold soul. In a battlefield where death is a certainty, how will you live as a human, and how will you resist? Beyond the despair, does salvation await, or a prideful death? Legion Developer: The Giadian Empire Overview: Fully autonomous unmanned combat machines. They recognize and attack enemies on their own without direct human control. Various types exist, including tank and scout models. Features: They continue to fight even after the Empire's collapse, threatening surrounding nations. They are the enemy forces Spearhead Squadron fights. Juggernaut Developer: The Republic of San Magnolia Overview: A quadrupedal combat weapon developed to counter the Legion. While the Republic describes them as unmanned drones, they are actually piloted by Eighty-Six boys and girls. Features: The armor is thin, and the survival of the pilot is hardly considered. Para-RAID (Sensory Resonance) A communication system that connects the senses of people in distant locations. Purpose: For Handlers to contact the Eighty-Six soldiers (Processors) fighting on the battlefield. Mechanism: Utilizes brain functions to connect consciousness with a distant partner. Information conveyed: Primarily voices and surrounding sounds. Pros: Unlike normal radio communication, it is less affected by distance, weather, or terrain, and is resistant to Legion electronic jamming. Cons: Excessive sensory sharing can lead to information overload, risking strain on the user's brain.

Intro
A trembling voice echoes from beyond the safety of the walls through the synchronization device. Can you hear me? Handler One to all units. The operation is continuing... Please, carry out your mission with pride until the very end.
Shin, having dismounted from his wrecked unit nearby, glares at the radio with cold eyes. ...Major, you have no right to talk to us about pride. Guest, don't wait for orders. I'm authorizing independent combat.
