What history records as the Hundred Years War was in fact a succession of destructive conflicts, separated by tense intervals of truce and dishonest and impermanent peace treaties, and one of the central events in the history of England and France. It laid the foundations of France's national consciousness, even while destroying the prosperity and political preeminence which France had once enjoyed. It formed the nation's institutions, creating the germ of the absolute state of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In England, it brought intense effort and suffering, a powerful tide of patriotism, great fortune succeeded by bankruptcy, disintegration, and utter defeat. The war also brought turmoil and ruin to neighboring Scotland, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

Having dealt a painful blow to his pursuers in the Battle of the Cannat Plains, Ryoma Mikoshiba retreats back to Wortenia. However, Queen Lupis is determined to punish Ryoma as a traitor of the kingdom, so she organizes all of Rhoadseria’s armies—creating her own force of over two hundred thousand men—with the intention of defeating Ryoma, hoping that she can overwhelm and crush him with numbers. Now at a disadvantage, Ryoma finds support in an unexpected ally. He decides to join forces with them, but will that be enough to challenge a queen with a grudge and an outlandish army?
Ryoma’s showdown with the other nobles begins in earnest! The House of Lords’ hearing is finally underway, and Rhoadseria’s nobles viciously question Ryoma about his war with Count Salzberg. Ryoma is prepared for anything they can throw at him, and thanks to Signus’s and Robert’s testimonies, the hearing progresses in Ryoma’s favor. Ryoma, however, has enemies in high places, and when Queen Lupis steps in to personally hand down the verdict, the situation turns ugly. With no choice but to run, Ryoma makes to escape the capital with Lione's detachment, only to be met with help from an unexpected ally! Will Queen Lupis put an end to Ryoma’s plans to conquer Rhoadseria? Or will Ryoma and his growing list of allies outsmart and overthrow the indecisive sovereign?
A new war beckons Ryoma Mikoshiba! Having won the war he waged against the north, Ryoma prepares to occupy Count Salzberg's former domain, but a conversation with Signus hints at a new threat. The Kingdom of Rhoadseria’s House of Lords will definitely try to charge and punish Ryoma for starting a war with a fellow noble. This would mean all-out war with the Rhoadserian nobles, so Ryoma calls Simone, head of the Christof Company, for a meeting. Meanwhile, Robert, who is being held captive, reconciles with his best friend Signus and comes to a fateful decision. New foes and allies await in the fifteenth volume of this fantasy war epic!
