Varian never thought he'd be allowed to just walk into the Jai Empire. It was a weird thing to experience, seeing your sworn enemy rolling down the red carpet to let you in to their most important region.
But that's the experience once they reached the patrolling zone of the Empire. Not only did the Jai Empire's forces not attack, they in fact acted as escorts and guided them into a precious portal in the center of one of the satellite galaxy.
While the soldiers and generals didn't show any positive feeling as they passed through the military camps, they were careful to not let any negative sentiment to be conveyed.
All the protocols were followed to the highest rigour. It was royal treatment, one intended for some of the best ranking people of the Empire.
Varian and his peers should've been at least a bit happy for the hospitality but that was the last thing in their minds.
