Anderson asked, "What is Yaz Kingdom's reaction now?"
The second-rank wizard replied, "They still seem to be waiting and watching."
"Yaz Kingdom's navy is no match for Klenze Kingdom's navy. Combined with their long-standing national policy, they may well stand by and watch Sahoan Kingdom be weakened by Klenze Kingdom."
In this plane, the three great kingdoms stood in a near tripartite balance, though many duchies and earldoms were scattered among them.
Yet these earldoms and duchies were also dependent on the three great kingdoms. Some had even been granted titles by the three great kingdoms themselves.

In the past, Sahoan Kingdom had always suppressed the alliance of the other two kingdoms.
Although Yaz Kingdom had not yet made a move against Sahoan Kingdom, once Sahoan Kingdom was severely weakened, Yaz Kingdom would not let this chance to seize population and land slip by.
They too wanted to become the sole hegemon of this plane.
As for Klenze Kingdom, its island nation faced a natural disadvantage: its resources were relatively scarce. Even though Klenze Kingdom had adopted a navy-first policy that allowed them to plunder without cease,
