rebellion army. The setting is in Europe, where the Euro Universe (E.U.) allied
nations are being invaded by the overwhelming forces of the Holy Britannian
Empire. On the verge of defeat, the E.U. army forms a special division known as
“W-O″, of which a young pilot named Akito Hyuuga is a member. Layla Malkal , a
former Britannian Aristocrat comes to the E.U.'s aid, commanding the “Wyvern”
Knightmare corps comprised of Japanese teenagers. They recklessly plunge into a
battlefield, where the survival rate is extremely low, at about 5% only. They
fight for their freedom, and for a "home" to which they can return.
Chapter 1 Preview Summary: "The Wyvern
Has Landed" (翼竜は舞い降りた)
In 2010 a.t.b., the Holy Britannian Empire, while
continuing its longstanding conflict with the E.U., suddenly invaded the
eastern nation of Japan and renamed it Area 11. As a result of this, the
Japanese in all other parts of the world were given the fate of exiles as
Elevens as well.
After seven years, the continuously disadvantaged E.U.
army gathers Elevens that are not formal citizens and establishes the “W-0”
Unit for the sake of facing the enemy in dangerous operations with extremely
low survival rates.
The E.U. Army’s 132nd Unit fails in recapturing St.
Petersburg, and becomes surrounded by the Britannian Army in the city of Narva.
The W-0 Unit is handed the order to undertake the Narva withdrawal operation
for the sake of rescuing them. Akito Hyuuga also heads to the battlefield and
pilots the W-0’s Knightmare Frame, the Alexander. Anou, the commander of the
W-0, plans to protect the 132nd Unit by sacrificing Akito and the other Eleven
