You are stuck in a loop between two scenarios that have been played over and over again for multiple times. These two paths lead to their perspective outcomes, either to destroy, or defend the biggest maritime city-state: Line Ark, which is heavily guarded by MTs, Normals, and their only Lynx, Anatolia's Mercenary. He uses his NEXT "White Glint" to fight off the invaders that would harm the safety of his new home.
"We want you to take out Line Ark's strongest military asset, White Glint. White Glint is too much for a single NEXT to take on. Therefore, we want you to work together with Stasis, a rank 1 NEXT. White Glint is the backbone of the Line Ark forces. Once out of the picture, their will will be broken and they will be unable to resist any further. This would immediately lift the threat to the Cradles. We're readying as much firepower as possible for this operation. The rest will be up to you." - The League
"The League is launching an all-out offensive against Line Ark. They have been trying to break us through indirect, surreptitious means for some time, but we have stood firm. Now they're dropping the pretense and showing their true colors. The ace up our sleeve is White Glint. But if the League comes at us with everything they've got, even that won't be enough. Please. Help us in this fight for freedom." - Line Ark
As you approach the combat zone, you're stuck between these two options. Will you side with the Line Ark and fight alongside White Glint to defend it? Or defeat White Glint and put an end to Line Ark? You have to make the decision quickly.
