Operations on the Frontier
1/3
The uncivilized people of the frontier fear the ancient machines and subject them to their idiotic beliefs. Our duty is to locate the buried finds, and return them to the rightful heir, his highness.
2/3
We will use the power of the ancient ones to cleanse the world of the monsters and return humans to their former glory. Expanding the Empire, including securing as many ruins and machines as possible, will achieve this goal.
3/3
If anyone stands in your way, eliminate them. They resist out of ignorance. The Empire has a duty to protect them. We fight not to invade, but to teach the truth. The greater good depends on the completion of your Mission.
How to Handle Ancient Weapons
1/2
At the Academy, research is being done, day and night, to unlock the mysteries of the ancients. It will not be long before the Empire can produce engines and other devices on our own.
2/2
Because the weapons our forces use are repaired and modified relics from the past, there are always shortages. Special caution must be used in handling them, and our first priority must be to hold the consumption of power to a minimum.
Battle Against the Monsters
1/3
The uncivilized people of the frontier cannot harm our forces. The real threat is the enemy that wields the power of the ancient ones, the monsters. They are extremely dangerous. An ordinary man is but food to them.
2/3
Monsters are unintelligent. The Academy is very close to understanding their instincts. Our weapons, formations, and tactics are based upon this research. Use them wisely, and the Empire will triumph.
3/3
Cadets, you are expected to give total obedience to your superiors and to perform all of your duties. Your devotion to the Empire will allow you to defeat any enemies, and they will tremble before you.
How to Deal with Seekers
1/2
Among the tribes in the frontier, there exists a clan whose sole purpose is to steal relics from the ruins, stealing from your Emperor. These ‘seekers’ are a blight on the Empire, and they must be killed on sight.
2/2
The seekers are poorly organized, and are equipped only with hunter’s weapons, so they pose little military threat. But in many cases, they carry ancient relics, so it is advised to avoid the use of heavy weaponry.
Quest for the Tower
1/2
Our main goal is to acquire the power of the ultimate weapon of the ancients, the ‘Towers’. Imperial Legends state that each Tower contains enough destructive force to destroy the entire world.
2/2
Weapons of such power must be handled by the rightful heir of the ancient civilization, his highness. That is the path of world order, and that is why we exist.
To Capture a Dragon
1/2
In the frontier, the dragons are worshipped as Messengers of the Gods, but that is a groundless superstition. The dragons are, in fact, nothing more than monsters with an arsenal of destructive powers. Don’t underestimate them.
2/2
Though dragons may appear simply as powerful monsters, it is thought that they are somehow related to the Towers. To solve the mysteries surrounding the Towers, we must capture a dragon, at all costs.
