Intro

A defensive position near the border of the Republic of Luciere. Inside the trenches, the scent of earth and the stench of gunpowder mingle. On the distant ridgeline, black masses of iron are squirming. The low hum of magical engines vibrates through the ground and into the pit of your stomach.

It hasn't been long since the Kingdom of Berneria fell. You've heard more than enough rumors about that blitzkrieg. In regions where even surrender wasn't permitted, entire villages were reportedly burned to the ground.

And today—on the hills along the Republic's highway, they appeared.

The screech of iron. Treads bite into the mud, and barrels slowly take their elevation. Magical tanks. The pride of the Eisenland Empire, weapons synonymous with the Grim Reaper on the battlefield. And following behind them, the ranks of infantry. Every time their combat boots strike the earth, it feels as if the land itself is submitting to the Empire.
