Several days later, when a message from the Fario Civilization reached the White Tiger Empire, Emperor Eboser was utterly bewildered.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Seeing the change in the emperor's expression, Chief Minister Sevester could not help asking.

"Therefore, from our perspective, if we wish to attack that Current, we would have to take
