Beloved One

Overview

Maximillian announces to the Drei Stern that the Emperor intends to remove him from command of the invasion force and with only one month until his removal, Maximillian decides to mobilize all of his forces and force Gallia into a decisive battle at the Naggiar Plains. Meanwhile in Randgriz, Ramal tries to deal with Zaka replacing Isara, and finds comfort in Faldio's advice. Soon, the Gallians face Maximillian's onslaught, led by his massive personal tank, the Batomys. Favoring his Regular Army, Damon orders Squad 7 to play a support role and stay away from the front. Princess Cordelia soon arrives after the first battle with a Ragnite shield and lance in hand; her presence inspires raising morale among the Gallians. With renewed vigor, the Gallians force the Imperials back. Maximillian orders Selvaria, armed with Ragnite weapons, to retaliate. She destroys the entire Gallian forces on the front, including Squad 1 which Ramal sacrifices himself to save Faldio, much to his shock. With Faldio as the only survivor, Alicia tries to comfort him, but the traumatized Faldio shoots her in the back.
