To give oneself over to the desire for victory, as all must do in war, is a sickness unto death. General Romel's heroic exploits resulted in the replenishment of the Imperial Southern Continent Expeditionary Army Corps. But the Empire, intoxicated by its wins in the South, has turned its eyes away from the growing ambition of the Reds in the east, and cannot feel the hateful stares of the world upon it.
It's all storm and stress for the Free François Republic, as the Imperial Southern Continent Expeditionary Army Corps advances lightning quick across their colonial holdouts. Unconventional maneuvers gush unceasingly out of General Romel, and it's not long before Tanya's 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion is part of the tide...!
Set against a backdrop of impending global conflict, the narrative follows Tanya and Major General Romel as they navigate the complexities of war. With the Empire's forces pursuing Republican exiles into the Southern Continent's deserts, they face the possibility of a prolonged struggle or a rapid victory. The stakes are high, as the outcome could determine the fate of countless lives and the expansion of the Empire's reach. Themes of strategy, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of war are central to the unfolding drama.
After the Empire suffers a Dunkirk-like defeat at the hands of the François Republic, it seems like Imperial HQ doesn't even care. Tanya heads back, determined to get to the bottom of the situation--but what awaits her in the capital?
After somehow managing to live through the most grueling battle of their entire careers, Tanya and the 203rd receive a letter from the General Staff. Its contents are, essentially, "Hop on these rockets and go smash up the Republican Army's HQ. Oh, and be sure to come back from this technologically unprecedented flight alive once you're done with your absurdly dangerous mission!"
The 203rd Battlion's manned V-1 rocket assault, a mission that will determine the fate of the Empire, has thrown the Francois Republic's headquarters into chaos. Yet is even this unprecedented, unforeseeable strike only meant to open the curtain on Zettour's devilishly brilliant strategy?!
The Salamander Kampfgruppe has finally come off the front lines and is headed back west to get some much needed R&R. The troops are more than ready to enjoy some peace and quiet after so many long days flying missions on the Eastern Front. What they aren't ready for is how unfamiliar it feels to not be surrounded by whizzing bullets and exploding artillery shells. And for Tanya, this long awaited return to the rear brings with it more disturbing realizations than moments of peace. This vacation might be far more eventful than it has any right to be...
When Zettour tries his best to caution against the reckless plan to strike at the Federation's vital resource fields, he soon finds himself "promoted" to a field deployment in the east. As the ill-advised operation Andromeda continues to press on, commanding officer Tanya soon finds herself fighting another bitter battle. With retreat expressly forbidden, the only way to survive is to win...
After an imperial supply point is attacked, Tanya decides to revisit a proposal she came up with in college. She orders the 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion to carry out her retaliation, but even they can't help but be shocked by its brutality! What could she be plotting...?
After surviving the hellish urban warfare in Arene, the members of the 203rd Battalion are ordered to move on to their next assignment-in the rear! But the Republican Army is waiting for them there and now has a bone to pick with the hated Devil of the Rhine. The Republicans put up quite the fight in Arene, and the threat they pose now is greater than ever before...
