Pumpkin Scissors 22 (KCDX)

[Machine Translation] The assault on the Tower of Language by the assault suppression force "The First Great Sword" has begun! The "Scorpion's Crown", the pride of the "Anti-Imperial Army", unleashes its final roar..! Three years have passed since the ceasefire. The long war with the Republic has left deep scars on the Empire. Starvation, pestilence, soldiers being turned into thieves.... It was another war called "war disaster. Concerned about this, the Imperial Army set up the 3rd Section in the Intelligence Department and assigned it to the task of rebuilding after the war. In reality, they were nothing more than an excuse for the military to obtain budgetary support and to suppress the dissatisfaction of their subjects. However, they call themselves "Pumpkin Scissors" and continue to push forward to accomplish their mission today, as they truly practice cutting through the thick layer of deception that covers society and exposing internal corruption! The voices of Ensign Alice and Corporal Orlando are carried by a telegraph line. The interruption meant that the "First Great Sword", an assault suppression unit, was about to enter the "Tower of Language". The "Anti-Imperial Guard," eager to end their lives with the satisfaction of having completed their plan, did not care if the Empire's answer to their demands was a bullet. As the sun was setting, they immersed themselves in further death and destruction. Their spirits become the "Crown of Scorpions," a huge beast that should be called a land battleship, and they unleash their final roar...!
