The Longest March begins anew—a Legacy March. While the world above struggles against the Ecumene, I remain in the Underground, waging my own war. With each step and every kill, I push back the darkness.
Our assault begins with a double strike into the Ecumene’s basement at Midday Crossing. Once we gather there, the march continues toward Tsoshu, then westward. Along the way, we make a detour through Chervolonin—not only to claim the 3/8th's corpse for Baf, but also because it is our inheritance as the heirs of the Longest March.
The road leads to two final adversaries: Dis, and whatever waits below, and then the Second Seat. With my skill at piloting war machina, and with a companion who can forge new ones, the path splits after Parsmunia.
If Vtorusha cannot be reasoned with, then the choice is clear—we fight. It will be Armored Core against the God-Killer Machine, and afterward, I must face Charlotte.
But if the machina can be controlled, then a greater conflict awakens: the Second War of Heaven and Earth. In that struggle, Buki must be fulfilled.
Perhaps I will not survive. But by then the Underground will be cleansed of Nightmare, making half the world habitable once more. From there, the scattered outposts and reclaimed lands can be reforged into something enduring: the Eternal Empire, named for its unyielding, undying nature.
