Le de'but de l'histoire
~The Beginning of the Story~
It was the 15th century.
Joan of Arc, the French military heroine, heard the "voice of God" instructing her to reclaim the French territories occupied by England. She gathered nameless female warriors from villages across the land and called them to Blois Castle to prepare for the liberation of Orléans.
At the same time, rough and fearless individuals who had heard the rumors rushed to the gates of Blois Castle. They came to test their own strength by challenging others to duels. Confident in their abilities, they boldly sought to face Joan's elite female warriors, believing they could prove their worth. Each challenger staked their pride and reputation on defeating one of Joan's elite forces.
