Plot
The story takes place in a world where two countries, Arandas and Ingelmia, have been warring against each other for a very long time. Tokimune Sumusu, a young man belonging to Independent Unit 8 of Arandas, saves a girl named Jamie when she is attacked by enemy forces. In order to survive, he pilots the new mech Argevollen and fights. The new mech Argevollen is defined by its U-Link system wherein the Argevollen molds to its pilot's mind and cannot be piloted by anyone else. This customization allows the pilot to use it by envisioning in his mind what he wants it to do, rather than physically moving and steering it.Aircraft cannot be used due to large-scale environmental and geological changes caused by the explosion of strategic weapons used in past wars. The war was still ongoing, centuries after the disaster, which occurred in A.O. 2015. In addition to existing land weapons, the warring nations use humanoid mobile weapons called "Trail Kriegers". One of these, piloted by Tokimune Susumu, belongs to the independent eighth unit of the "Kingdom of Arandas alliance". Both Alandas and Ingelmia have long histories and corruption in their military. As the war between Arandas and the neighboring "Ingelmia Union" continues, the Great Wall, the fortress of Arandas that has long prevented the invasion of enemy nations, is finally on the verge of falling.
