## Chronology

### Rodenius War Arc

At the end of the battle of Jin-Hark (Pacification of Jin-Hark), the JGSDF 1st Airborne Brigade and the Special Assault Team of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrived to arrest the king in the air assault operations on the night. They were rushed to the Hark Castle after destroying the Royal Guards on the first floor through the third floor. Royal Guard Commander Rand decided to talk to the enemy to buy time until Patagene’s reinforcements. He and several Royal Guards were entrusted as the last line of defense for King Hark Louria XXXIV. Then Rand called out to first maid and second maid waiting in front of the king’s antechamber and ordered them to stand next to each other about 5 meters from the doors leading to the audience hall. Two maids, who were unable to speak and overwhelmed by fear, followed Rand's orders.

After clearing their hindrances, Hashimoto and soldiers of the 1st Airborne Brigade headed the force that will take the king and ran for the 4th floor where their target should be in the emergency antechamber in the royal hall. They arrived at the doors. With his rifle at the ready, he gave the signal to his comrades, and the doors were opened. Right in front of their muzzles were two maids shaking in fear. Their faces were painted in sorrowful expressions as they wet the floor in shock at their forceful opening of the doors. He saw Royal Guards Commander Rand appearing in front of the two maids standing within the dim torch light faintly shined on the darkness of the royal hall. Rand sheathed his sword back into his scabbard, showing no indication of yielding to Hashimoto’s order. The maids stood trembling. He yelled at Rand to surrender, but Rand and the two maids didn’t move a single inch. He couldn’t bear to pull the trigger on the seemingly civilian maids who simply trembled in terror. Since Rand didn't have his sword drawn, he raised his hands and ordered the maids not to move, but to let Hashimoto how to handle them.

Nakano, the mission commander from the 1st Airborne Brigade, stepped forward in front of Hashimoto. Rand tried to earn time for reinforcements to arrive by faking a surrender. Nakano looked at the maids with their eyes flowing absurd and excessive tears, breathing more intensely. He didn’t allow Rand to buy some time, who used civilian maids as shields, but forcibly pinned him down to the floor. The maids got on their shaking knees and clutched their heads as they lay flat on the ground. Nakano yelled at twelve knights of the 0th Royal Guards who hid behind the pillars to surrender. They swiftly followed Hashimoto’s orders, threw away their weapons, and lay flat on the ground. Nakano asked Rand if King Hark Louria XXXIV was behind the door; however, the 0th Royal Guards commenced to attack them by opening the hidden wall door with filled smoke.

When Rand helplessly witnessed his ambush troops being killed so easily by the JSDF, he tried to engage Nakano to close combat, taking his hidden arm-mounted sword and lunging it straight at him. He tried to cut Nakano, but Nakano managed to deflect using a combat knife. Rand stepped back in astonishment after striking on his neck hitting his armor by him with his combat knife. However, he tried to swing his sword once more, Hashimoto shot him with a Type-89 assault rifle, killing him with multiple shots.

After that, the rest of the 0th Royal Guards were defeated by strafing throughout the royal hall, the maids fainted on the floor from fear. Nakano and other soldiers rushed into the king's throne room wherein the king was hiding in fear and arrested him. The maids were fear witnessing Rand's lifeless body suffering multiple shots on his left shoulder-chest and a single headshot.
