This Is Marianna's Territory (2)

"I repeat, Captain Gerrard. This is Marianna's Territory. Have you applied for a safe passage with our office before coming unnoticed?" Captain Mason asked. Even a fool could guess that Marianna's Naval Fleet is trying to make things difficult for them.

"Captain Mason, please check with your superior again. The application has been made, and a memo should be on your president's table right now." Captain Gerrard could feel that the naval fleet before them was making fun of them. But for now, he had no choice but to tolerate.

It wasn't because he was worried that they'd lose if they opened fire. It was because he knew that if a war started around here, the Pacific Union would be taking the blame on behalf of the others, even if they won.
