In the 22nd century, the world was no longer divided into separate nations. For mutual benefit, humanity had united, yet never truly became one. Despite technology and magic reaching their zenith, wars had never ceased.

At the fierce borders, warriors battled day and night. General Stratos of the Nation and Commander Lunamaria Whieblod of the Organization stood as symbols of this endless war. They fought not only for duty and belief but also for the dreams deep within their souls.

But behind the fiery battlefields and meticulously calculated military strategies lay a bloody political chessboard. Conspiracies were woven like a spider’s web, and secrets were buried deep in the darkness. And perhaps, the most terrifying thing was not the enemy before them, but the invisible hands strangling the fragile peace that humanity had always longed for.

The Two-Faced Sky

Soldiers: Due to special conditions leading to the inactivity of mobile weapons during operation, soldiers must personally go to the battlefield with their weapons. In terms of equipment, current soldiers tend to view close-range weapons as primary, while long-range weapons are only supportive.

-"Throughout history, no matter how powerful the weapons, infantry has always been crucial, and this holds true even today. Many military branches have been disbanded due to the times, but infantry continues to develop" - Valen, a high-ranking general of an unnamed bloc's military, said.-

Fortifications: Architectural structures built to serve as the first line of defense. These fortifications are equipped with particle-field shield systems to protect against enemy firepower. Capturing these fortifications is always a top priority, as they are usually placed in strategic positions, helping to observe the situation inside and outside the national borders, like the very eyes of the nation on the battlefield. Basically, fortifications operate like a double-edged sword, so protecting them is always a top priority.

-"We know it's a double-edged sword, but the benefits it brings are too great. So we have increased the particle density of the shield field in this area" - Alex, an engineer of an unnamed bloc, said.-

-"Because of the strategic importance of fortifications, resource allocation there is decided by high-ranking individuals in the system, so basically, no one dares to intentionally damage or destroy them. And if someone does? Then they're either an idiot or a madman" - Lexor, a high-ranking official of Organization, laughed and said.

Intelligence Network: A collection of one or more groups of people tasked with secretly gathering information within the enemy's ranks. Typically, each unit commander has their own independent intelligence network. Because even though they are on the same side, there is sometimes competition between individuals, and victory often goes to the one who possesses more information from the enemy.

-"When starting each battle outside of Organization, we usually let our intelligence forces blend into the crowd... {Information redacted}" - {***}, commander of the {**} legion of Organization, said in an interview.

Mice: Also known as spies or M.I.C.E - which is a mnemonic device used in counterintelligence training to remind trainees of the four general motivations that could lead someone to commit treason. Similar to intelligence, this is also a group of people specialized in gathering information within the enemy's ranks. But unlike intelligence, this group directly joins the enemy's ranks, thereby sabotaging or directly collecting information from within, rather than from outside like intelligence. Additionally, these units work in unison and share information sources with each other, thereby providing consistent information to send back to headquarters.

-"I refuse to answer this question" - Ash, a member of Nation {******}, said.-
