It has been one year and four months since the war started and the Granado Empire was still on the winning side, even with the Southern Union and Berdonia teaming up. Yet a sudden turnig point happened which shook the Empire, Upon the death of Lyner, and the disappearance of Rika Saunter, Arthur Glory was the only remaining SS rank merc, and this finally gave the two nations a chance to turn the tables.
The Granado which was on an unstoppable offensive, was finally forced into a defensive state. Losing Rika Saunter was a huge blow to the Empire, since they Empire believed that they needed at least two Generals to match up with Arthur Glory, and they needed at least four to kill him. Yet at this point in time the Granado Empire has only five Generals left, using all the Generals to kill one man, was a huge gamble.
