War clouds loomed over the Sabaody Archipelago. Seen from above, countless warships encircled it like an iron wall, blockading the unique island chain.
The sea wind howled, and the flags of the Holy Light and the Adventurers' Guild fluttered in the wind.

God's Army, also known as God's Knights, consisted of the nine strongest Celestial Dragons. Each possessed the strength of an admiral. They were also the greatest publicly known force that allowed the Celestial Dragons to stand above everyone else and do as they pleased.
