## Story Summary (spoilers)

#### Act 1:

At the onset of the series, Duwei and his squad engage in combat against the forces of the Liberitoan Trade Federation on the Eastern border of the Highserk Empire. Following a victorious battle, they receive orders to confront the Principality of Myard, as part of Highserk's efforts to bring an end to the ongoing Myard Annexation War. Their initial encounter involved besieging a castle, resulting in Highserk emerging as the triumphant party. Subsequently, they confronted surviving Myard forces and adventurers in a wooded area, once again achieving victory. The Highserk Army then proceeded to the "Plains of Reref," where the ultimate confrontation with the Principality of Myard, alongside the Kingdom of Ferrius' allied forces, was set to occur. Within the heat of battle, Duwei's squad, alongside the Liguria Battalion, joined forces with Jeff's Cavalry Battalion in order to create a path to the Ferrius Headquarters. Their plans proved successful, and Walm eliminated the enemy commanding general, Winston Ferrius. Recognizing their achievements, General Gerard Berger rewarded Duwei's squad before they proceeded alongside the Highserk Army to Edinburgh, the capital of Myard. Their objective was to establish order and peace within the city. Two months later, as part of an offensive against the Kingdom of Ferrius, Duwei Squad received orders to join forces with two battalions in order to besiege and capture "Refn Mine." A couple weeks later, they succeeded in capturing the mine. Around this time, the Four-Country Alliance was formed to deal with the Highserk Empire. After this, Duwei Squad and the Highserk Army retreated to Sarajevo Fortress, where the final battle would take place.
