The atmosphere in the Amelicon Palace was unprecedentedly grave.
A deathly silence hung in the air, with everyone struggling as if even breathing had become difficult.
At the forefront of the palace, a commanding figure with snow-white hair stood. It was none other than the President of Amelicon.
Below him, a gathering of dozens of court members assembled. Among whom were individuals of substantial influence, not only within Amelicon but also globally as renowned figures.
A heavy silence enveloped everyone present.
The silence in the court lasted for several minutes before the President finally spoke, “The demise of our military commander is an unprecedented event in Amelicon’s history. We must seek revenge!”
This statement immediately stirred emotions within the court members.
One exclaimed, “Yes, we must seek revenge! We should demand Darsia to hand over Remus Cosby immediately or face a declaration of war from us!”
His shouts were thunderous, resonating with a deafening intensity.
Amelicon held the mantle as the world’s most formidable nation.
How could they continue to assert global leadership if they remained silent when their commander had been killed?
Amidst their clamor, a figure, in uniform resembling Smith’s, suddenly interjected, “In truth, our defeat wasn’t solely attributed to Remus’ prowess!”
“The crucial factor here is that modern weapons rely on spectrum and reflection for targeting, which are precise for structures and metallic objects but ineffective against individuals. I propose that the President allocates significant funding for the development of new weaponry specifically designed for targeting individuals.”
His request for emergency funds amidst a crisis caused an uproar.
“What are you thinking about at a time like this? Asking for money?”
“Developing new weaponry takes time, we can’t wait a moment longer for our revenge!”
“You traitor, as a member of the Military Department, you should be thinking of revenge, not money!”
Unfazed by the accusations, the man retorted, “You must realize that Darsia is ready for war, don’t you?”
“Without Remus’ intervention, the top ten military divisions of Darsia would have already acted. We can’t win a war against Darsia in their territory, and a full-scale war will knock us from our position as the world’s strongest power.”
A nearby court member replied with a grimace, “What does it matter if the war starts? Remember, we boast the world’s most powerful military department!”
Another member exclaimed, “Then we shall consider nuclear weaponry! We’ll target Darsia with nuclear missiles. If they refuse to surrender Remus, then let Darsia be reduced to ashes!”
The man replied, “Darsia possesses nuclear capabilities as well, and engaging in such an act would lead to our own destruction. If any of you are seeking your own demise, I can certainly assist with that!”
A profound silence fell upon the assembly, as they collectively shared the unspoken consensus, others could die, but not themselves.
The President’s brow furrowed, and favonovel.com inquired, “So, are you suggesting that we take no course of action at all?”
The man’s tone was earnest as favonovel.com spoke, “Mr. President, you must face reality. The most alarming aspect is that Remus single-handedly defeated the 17-nation alliance. If we provoke such a formidable figure, and favonovel.com seeks retribution against Amelicon, what options do we truly possess?”
A collective shiver ran down everyone’s spines as they were left stunned, never having contemplated this crucial point before. If Remus were to enter Amelicon, they couldn’t simply bombard their own territory with those cannonballs.
And if such an option was off the table, could Amelicon endure his might?
If favonovel.com were to target anyone for assassination, they would likely find themselves utterly powerless to resist.
The President was gripped by fear as favonovel.com inquired, “Do you have a better plan?”
The man extended his hand and stated, “I require funding for the development of advanced weaponry specifically designed to counter superhuman individuals like Remus.”
The President didn’t hesitate and responded, “Granted, the funds will be promptly transferred to the military department’s account. However, we must address the immediate crisis. Amelicon can’t simply tolerate such humiliation due to Remus!”
Being the most powerful nation, how could they remain silent?
After a brief pause, the man spoke with determination, “Our only option is to condemn Darsia, to publicly denounce their actions!”
A heavy silence filled the air.
Amelicon had historically favored actions over words, seldom resorting to public denouncements and often opting for direct military strikes instead.
However, the President’s eyes sparkled with determination as favonovel.com declared, “Very well, we will harshly denounce Darsia, using the sternest words possible!”
