Moreover, the latest news Leonard Churchill got was that the official announcements from the three Great Kingdoms of the Ariel Empire had been issued, refusing to accept the surrender of anyone from the East Wilderness.
It displayed an attitude of obliterating the Orlan Royal Court, determined not to stop until it was destroyed.
Initially, Leonard had thought it was due to the betrayal of the Capen Family, one of the Federation's five senators, which led to the ambush and killing of the Red Dragon Seventh Grade Legion Commander and caused the Southern Continent to lose trust in the East Wilderness.
Now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
The truth should be that some high-ranking individuals within the Ariel Empire wanted to use the war to administer some kind of Transcendent Advancement Ceremony.
Only a war that aimed at "Annihilation of a Kingdom" might meet the required ceremonial standards.
