Synopsis:
The uneasy peace following the defense of Verlina proves fleeting. Though the immediate threat from the monstrous Ends was averted, the war for Orte continues with escalating intensity. The Black King consolidates power over newly acquired lands, sparking widespread unrest as humanity's dwindling forces grapple with controlling subjugated demi-human populations.
Amidst this turmoil, Toyohisa Shimazu lies in a precarious state, recovering from severe wounds sustained in the previous battle. His condition casts a long shadow over the fragile situation, highlighting humanity’s vulnerability against relentless adversaries. The narrative explores themes of resilience, political maneuvering, and the moral complexities of maintaining control in a world teetering on the brink of collapse. It presents a somber atmosphere, focusing on strategic struggles rather than grand heroism.
