Ikta and crew are assigned to a garrison in the far northern region of the empire: a lonely, desolate place at the foot of a massive mountain range. The garrison staff are petty and corrupt, and don't like it when Ikta slacks off and defies orders.  But when they try to throw him in the garrison prison, he stumbles across a secret that they want desperately to keep hidden.
It's at the base of a mountain range
in the sticks.
تقعُ في أسفل سلسلة الجبال الواقعة في الرّيف
Das liegt am Fuße einer Bergkette
und damit in der Pampa.
Está a los pies
de una enorme cordillera.
Está a los pies
de una enorme cordillera.
À la campagne,
aux pieds des montagnes…
Si trova ai piedi di una catena montuosa, 
nel bel mezzo del nulla.
É no meio do nada,
 no sopé de uma serra.
Он ведь в какой-то глуши у подножия гор.
