Count Tigrevurmud Vorn is summoned from his homeland Alsace to battle the Zhcted army at the barren Dinant Plains (ディナント平原, Dinanto-heigen). While camping out, Eleonora Viltaria orders her troops to launch a sneak attack on the campsite. With most of Brune's 25,000 troops dead, Tigre is left as one of the few surviving soldiers. He launches an assault on Elen's bodyguards to demoralize the enemy, but is unsuccessful. Elen captures him and takes him to the bustling principality of Leitmeritz. Tigre realizes that Elen's ransom is too high for him or his acquaintances to pay. During a demonstration of Tigre's archery abilities, he subdues an assassin to the townsfolk's surprise. Tigre declines Elen's offer a position in her retinue as he has a responsibility to his homeland and its citizens. Later, Tigre discovers from his servant Bertrand that Duke Felix Aaron Thernardier has dispatched his son Zion to invade Alsace and negotiates with Elen to borrow her army. They travel to Alsace and stop Zion's invasion, rescuing his maid Titta from being raped in the process. Tigre gains a black bow, a heirloom of his ancestors. At Molsheim, Elen and Tigre lead the Leitmeritz army against Zion's forces. Using their powers, Tigre and Elen eventually kill Zion together, liberating Alsace as a result.

While Elen departs for Zhcted's capital Silesia, Titta vows to stay by Tigre's side. Meanwhile, in Brune's capital Nice, Thenardier learns of his son's death and vows to exact revenge on Tigre. While discussing with Elen's bodyguard Limalisha and his friend Mashas Rodant, Tigre asks Mashas to warn King Faron of the corruption between Thenardier and Maximilian Bennusa Ganelon. Tigre also reveals that his insurgency is based on his peace for Alsace. In Silesia, at King Viktor Artur Volk Estes Tsar Zhcted's request, Elen explains that she was hired by Tigre to invade Brune and Sofya Obertas, the war maiden from Polesia, vouches for her. After her audience is concluded, she has a quarrel with her rival Ludmila Lourie, but Sofy stops them. As Mila's snowy hometown Olmütz has a traditional feud with Leitmeritz that has lasted for several years, she and Elen resent each other. Meanwhile, Tigre and his allies gain the support of noblemen Hughes Augre when he subdues a group of bandits in Territoire. At Rodrik, Tigre meets Mila and encounters a group of assassins known as the Seven Chains. Although Mila and Elen are able to subdue most of the assassins, Lim is bitten by a snake. Tigre saves her by sucking the poison out. In Olmütz, Mila is dispatched by Thenardier to fight with Elen, but they reach stalemates. However, Tigre disguises himself as a bear and realizes that Mila secretly despises Thenardier. Following her to the Tatra mountains, Tigre discovers that Mila has an impregnable fortress. Tigre and Elen destroy the gate and they lead their men into the fortress. Elen's battle with Mila is cut short when the final member of the Seven Chains attempts to kill them, only to be shot by Tigre. Realizing that Tigre intends to protect Alsace, Mila declares her neutrality on the civil war in Brune and severs ties with the Thenardiers.
