Royal Regiment 'Rabbitaurs' Sally From Norqod To Vanquish Machine - The Truthful Observers
Early this month, the Royal Regiment 'Rabbitaurs' stationed in Norqod to ensure the safety of the Suspendium shipments, harvesting, and enrichment operations from Machine, Mutant, and Bandit have, after being made aware of an approaching Machine, classified as a Boughtunnel Worm, sallied out to defend the town from its malicious intentions.

Sunken Hollows
Hello, this is Akane.
