1185, the Clever Singer Cassia

"Alas!" The mecha soldiers sighed, ready to accept their fate.

They had to hold out for 10 minutes, and that would all come down to luck.

Bad luck would see them torn apart by spells as soon as they entered; good luck might mean coming out alive.

At least it wasn't a guaranteed death mission, which provided them with some minor comfort.

But Singer Cassia realized something was wrong.

Because the supreme commander had changed!

Others might not realize the significance of this change, but as an "old hand" who had joined the expeditionary forces a year and a half ago, Singer Cassia quickly understood—a change in command meant that something major had definitely happened in the rear!

Emperor Raging Sun Manina had always paid close attention to the frontline situation, often personally micro-managing the battles. If there hadn't been a major incident in the rear, why would he hand over command at this critical moment?
