Synopsis:

The Principality of Gallia, a land of quiet industry and abundant natural resources, finds itself unexpectedly embroiled in conflict. The expansionist Europan Imperial Alliance launches a swift invasion to secure control over Gallia’s valuable Ragnite deposits. Amidst the rapid advance of the occupying forces, siblings Welkin and Isara Gunther find themselves thrust into a role of resistance, joining forces with local militia members to defend their home.

Forming the core of a newly organized defense unit, Squad Seven must quickly adapt to the realities of war while fighting to preserve Gallia’s independence. As they engage in increasingly challenging battles within the capital city and beyond, the squad uncovers forgotten histories tied to the land itself, forging unexpected bonds as they strive for survival. The series explores themes of familial responsibility, nascent heroism, and the cost of defending one's homeland against overwhelming power.
