This was Divine Drakebane's sharpest warning to the once untouchable utrcynia.
In an unusual move, Autreynia swiftly removed the video of spokesperson Paylor's global speech, erasing it from the public's view.
What followed was an unnerving silence. The global platforms and media, usually so quick to react, fell into an eerie stillness, as if they had all agreed to retreat into a collective pause.
In that instant, the world-the sky, the ocean, the towering mountains, the restless waters, and the countless lives weighed down with burdens-all seemed to stop.

The higher-ups in Sakurania called for an emergency meeting.

1/A 22.11 Fri, 2 May Chapter 1282 People Wondered Whether Divine Drakebane Is Scared In the face of Autreynia's provocation, Divine Drakebane had truly lost control.

Autreynia's military bases in the Auripacea region would begin to lose their strategic value.
