It was shocking, or rather, it bordered on the comical, that Chu Country, the one most severely affected by the disaster, became the first to declare war on Tang Country.
The reason for the declaration of war was that Tang Country's flood control and rescue efforts had interfered with normal drainage and flood discharge practices, which greatly harmed the citizens of Chu Country. Therefore, Chu Country had no choice but to declare war on Tang Country.
Merely one minute after this declaration of war, the Dahua Empire officially declared war on Tang Country with the reason being to protect their vassal state, Chu Country...
Within half an hour, the Laines Empire, Dorne Empire, and Ice Empire successively declared war on Tang Country, with astonishingly similar reasons: they condemned Tang Country's disaster relief actions for disregarding the lives of Chu Country's citizens, thus declaring war on Tang Country.
