Battle of Rhetoric

Rui could hardly believe the sheer audacity of the Britannian Prime Minister. The man had the nerve to travel all the way to the Shionel Confederation as a guest, seeking to make an ally of the nation, and then threaten to destroy everything Guildmaster Bradt had ever built.

He was brazen enough to not even be implicit with his threats as one often was in these circumstances. Instead, he very openly detailed what he would do to the Shionel Confederation if they chose to ally with the Kandrian Empire.

Unfortunately, he could get away with it.

This was what it meant to be the strategic leader of the East Panamic Treaty Alliance. The sheer amount of power and influence that he wielded was second to none. He could get away with acting unscrupulously, even to those that he needed to ally with to achieve his desired victory against the Kandrian Empire.
