"Kanak Dynasty."
"They are the key."
Seeing that they were about to move on to the next war, Qin Mo explained the matter to Quaren, and by extension to Lion, the Warmaster of the Imperium.
Lion did not need to know about it, because before receiving the Iron Man's latest intelligence, even Qin Mo had not been sure whether this wild idea could work.
Lion did not need to get involved either, because he still had to hold Imotekh at the front lines, and he could not spare any forces to do anything in Mandala.
