Canglan City, Jade Palace.
The ongoing war has brought heavy pressure to the Alpha Kingdom. Though the internal strife has ceased, the military expenditure still remains considerably high.
Being the host is not an easy task, having to provide for the needs of all the auxiliary soldiers sent. The assistance given by the Human Alliance is less than two-tenths of the actual expenditure.
The millions of troops on the front lines have spent more than half a year on one task - the construction of defense lines. Due to this, criticism has started to rise within the kingdom.
It's not that everyone is deliberately being difficult, but the expenditure in the front lines is extremely large, putting a heavy burden on the kingdom's finances.
Even though a significant amount of funds were raised through the issuance of war bonds, the war has almost consumed it all.

Caesar III asks in concern.
