There are two nations warring, the Republic of San Mangolia and the Giadian Empire. The Republic of San Mangolia has 86 districts, 85 of which living in peace while the 86th district is a battleground. The Republic throws everyone who's not of Alba race in the 86 district and makes them fight. Not only that, but the Republic dehumanizes them and only sees them as shields or mere weapons they use to fight the Giadian Empire. However, the Republic promises the 86 soldiers to grant them their rights if they finish their term fighting for the Republic.

If you have any specific questions, let me know.

Ough well the plot is the following in a nutshell:

There are 2 countries: Republic of San Magnolia and the Giad Empire.

The Giad Empire is one of the superpowers in the continent and wants to conquer the Republic. Giad developed an army called "The Legion" which is an unmaned driod army which launched an all out attack against the Republic.

The republic's forces were mostly destroyed. The remaining forces started to hold off the enemy, and in two weeks the Republic of San Magnolia evacuated most of its terrorities. They sent all native people (The Alba, white haired people) into the central districts. Built a big wall that enclosed this district. They introduced a law that took the citizenship from anybody who wasn't an Alba and the republic sent them into concentration camps.

So there is a wall. Inside are the 85 remaining district where the Alba live. Anything outside of the wall is called the 86th district where the opressed people live.

9 years have passed, the Empire got destroyed by their own army and the Legion went rogue. The people in the 86 are basically trapped between a wall and the Legion that continiously attacks them.

In the republic there are officers in the army who are called Handlers, this is our protagonist Lena is. Her job is to be a commanding officer for a group of 86-ers. And this is where our story begins basically.

could you explain the character of the blue haired girl also ty for explaining it really helped

samashi20 said:


The blue-haired girl or Lena is an Alba that was appointed to be the major of the Spearhead squadron that fight in 86. Unlike her people and colleagues, Lena doesn't think of the 86 soldiers as machines, but as humans with lives that are lost everyday because of war. Therefore, she tries to help them out as much as she can because they're not replaceable as the Republic acts they are. She also uses the PARA-raid to communicate and chat with them every night and connect with them, but also to show that she cares about them and acknowledges them as humans with memories and stories to tell.

OK I understand the s1 but now i am in s2 3 episodes in, the other side, Empire of Giad it doesn't seem like they are fighting the Republic. Are they fighting the Legions that isn't suppose to be on their side? Legion went rouge? character we see in Empire of Giad are the same people who order the legion to attack?

No. The Empire created the Legion.

The Republic of Giad USED to be the Empire, until they led a rebellion and created the Republic in it’s place. They cannot control the Legion and also get attacked by them.

Frederica is the last remaining of the previous royal family of the Empire. Because she’s so young, they took pity on her and only pretended to kill her in the rebellion. So the general public thinks she is dead, but the president kept her alive and takes care of her.

It’s also what caused Kiriya to go insane and become a Legion. He assumed Frederica was killed, and he had nothing else to live for so he willingly gave himself up to Legion and became a Legion Shepherd.
