Precursor - The War Between Ares Army and the Sarahan Empire[]
The precursor of this episode starts at the Taturans Plains where a large scale war was taking place at the border of the Saharan Empire and the Belto Kingdom. God of War Ares directed the Belto Kingdom's troops, while 1st Knight Mercedes directed the imperial army. A bloody river was formed as the two sides exchanged blows. After three days and nights of war, the Ares army was on the defensive. Despite accumulating strength in the Belto Kingdom for the past three years, Ares could not cross the borders of the empire. He retreated and sacrificed a unit to block the empire's pursuit to stop the invasion at Grand Prix Fortress. Looking at the distant Ares army, the empire became aware of the small kingdom they had been ignoring. It was the precursor to the massive ‘West Continent Unification’ episode in Satisfy.[1]
The power of the empire exceeded Ares imagination and he could not overcome the empire. Winning the war against the empire meant becoming the master of the continent. Therefore, Ares only aimed at the empire from the beginning. But he realized that his goal coul not be met. The war with the empire must be fought in the long term and Ares better judged to swallow the Belto Kingdom completely and rise to the throne first.[2] The later conflict between the empire and the new founded Valhalla Kingdom up to the empire's truce with the Overgeared Kingdom and Valhalla are also part of the precursor.[3] The continent unification episode finally began with the White Dragon's Eye Incident in which the Overgeared Kingdom became the eye of the typhoon right from the very beginning.[4]
Event - The War Between the Overgeared Kingdom and the Sarahan Empire[]
At the end of the truce agreement with the Saharan Empire, the Overgeared Kingdom quickly established an alliance with Valhalla. Without a truce agreement with the empire, Valhalla had gone on to invade their neighboring countries and expand their forces while the Overgeared Kingdom exported a massive amount of equipment to Valhalla, strengthening their alliance and accumulating funds to tightening up their borders. It was contrary to the empire's presumption that they had a hostile relationship after the White Dragon's Eye Incident. The empire's predictions that the Overgeared Kingdom would keep Valhalla in check while Valhalla would pressure the Overgeared Kingdom with them were completely overturned. The empire felt its back burn. Consequently, when the they suddenly formed an alliance, the empire was forced to ignore Valhalla and concentrated on the Overgeared Kingdom to relentlessly put pressure.[5]
