The silence was eerie inside the Grimvarn Isle conference hall–so thick it felt like time had frozen.
All the regional envoys sat dumbfounded in their seats.
No one spoke a word.

Garren stared at the real–time disy of Autreynian military base movements projected on the screen, then sighed and shook his head.
At this point, there was nothing left to say.
Simmond nced at him, then turned to Robin. “Mr. Ramsey, is there anything Mecria can do to help?”
Robin looked at the two men tly. “You don’t have the clearance. Don’t go looking for trouble.” But it would be wise to advise the Mecria Royal Family not to misjudge the situation.
“If they cross me again, there won’t be any room for negotiation.”
Simmond visibly flinched.
He could see <i>it</i>–the unwavering resolve in this man’s eyes.
If Mecria chose the wrong side in this conflict, they’d be walking straight into ruin.
The seconds ticked by.
Less than a minute remained before Beast wouldunch its strike against the Autreynian military bases stationed in Novaros.
On–screen, a live feed from the HexaPoint Tower showed Autreynia finalizing its battle deployment.
Autreynia’s spokesperson, Paylor, announced that the HexaPoint Tower’s topmand has ordered every military base to switch to wartime status<b>. </b>
All missiles pointed toward the Grimvarn Isle Conference Center were now armed and ready.
Meanwhile, over 70% of the warships docked at various Autreynian naval bases had begun leaving port.
Paylor dered that if Drakebane dared to make even a single retaliatory move, Autreynia wouldunch thergest<b>–</b>scale battle in history to eliminate him and his alliespletely.
Almost immediately, unofficial media outlets and socialworks flooded the web with updates.
Autreynia’s Warbear Fleet docked at Sakurania’s base, had left port.
Four nuclear submarines stationed in the Auripacea were now diving into the South Panacea Ocean.

Three sub–fleets of the Panacea Fleet Command were mobilizing toward Grimvarn Isle.
Thirty–nine stealth fighter jets had taken off, heading directly toward Grimvarn Isle.
One wave after another, globalworks were saturated with reports of Autreynia’s military movement. The South Panacea Ocean skies were thick with the clouds of war.
Meanwhile, foreign envoys lined up for an audience in the waiting hall of Draconia’s Decision Bureau.
Inside the conference room, Den was on the phone with the central secretary of the hall.
“Mr. Pittman, the Autreynian envoy, demands that Drakebane immediately respond. They also want us to publicly dere that we willply with their investigation and trial.
“They’ve promised that if we order Drakebane to hand over his superweapon system, they’ll guarantee the safety of both Joanna and Eira.
“They also warned that our military should stay out of what they im is a just and necessary operation led by Autreynia.”
Den immediately coordinated with several key figures–Lord Southmere, Rhett Shaw of the strategic advisory center, Finlo Keane at themand center, and Jethro, stationed far away on Grimvarn Isle.
The response remained in line with Robin’s directives.
Draconia would make only strategic defensive deployments and would not actively participate in Robin’s conflict with Autreynia.
Having received confirmation, Den returned an official reply to the Autreynian envoy.
First<b>, </b>Autreynia must release Joanna and Eira immediately and retract their outrageous global warrant for Robin.
Second, all weapons and equipment in Robin’s possession belong to him alone. Autreynia has no right to demand them by force.
Third, if Autreynia chooses to use violence or intimidation against Drakebane, they will bear the consequences themselves.
Den’s reply was publicly broadcast across globalworks.
Autreynia’s leadership was furious.
They had hoped to pressure Draconia into surrendering Drakebane by force, in full view of the world.
Instead, the Decision Bureau had pped them in the face with an irond refusal.
Although the statement did not mention military support for Drakebane, its tone was undeniably clear: they opposed Autreynia’s current course of action.
Inside Draconia, public sentiment surged online. Citizens overwhelmingly rallied behind Drakebane.
International strategists everywhere dove into heated debates about the rapidly evolving globalndscape.

Almost every expert agreed–Robin had no chance this time.

If war broke out, they would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons to protect their pride and long–term interests.
They feared no international bacsh.
Autreynia had always believed that money and muscle ruled the world.
However, a few strategists offered a different view.
They quickly saw through the intentions of the Autreynia.
This profit–driven nation had always preferred a two–pronged approach–coercion and temptation–to push its agenda forward.
From their point of view, the recent moves were just a show of force, a way to build pressure and corner Drakebane into submission.
They firmly believed that no matter how fearsome Divine Drakebane might be, he wouldn’t dare go to war with the entire world.
But if Drakebane and Draconia’s leadership chose to ignore Autreynia’s demands, it could trigger a chain reaction of fear within Autreynia’s leadership itself.
After all, those at the top were merely spokespeople for the nation’s major interest groups.
Every action they took had to serve the group’s bottom line.
If provoking Divine Drakebane meant disastrous losses–or even total annihtion–for those groups, they would never tolerate such reckless behavior from Autreynia’s highmand.
Some strategists, therefore, spected that Autreynia’s aggressive posture was nothing more than a test to see just how far Drakebane and Draconia were willing to go.
Amid the raging debate, one disturbing fact finally drew everyone’s attention. The world was in an uproar, but Divine Drakebane remainedpletely silent.
That alone was deeply unsettling.
In the past, any provocation would’ve already been met with a swift and brutal deration of war.
This time, however, there wasn’t so much as a whisper.
Just as global spection about Divine Drakebane’s next move hit a fever pitch, the vtile nation of Novaros dropped a thunderp.
Two Autreynian military bases stationed in Novaros, two naval fleets, and four air squadrons had juste under heavy assault from the Beast Fleet.
None of the ships or jets had even gotten off the ground before they were reduced to smoking wreckage.
