Escalation

Things weren't well on Baoway.

Khan's sudden departure had brought everything to a halt, interrupting most of its exports and profits. The same went for Senerth, Hililles, and Vuter since Khan's position had yet to be clarified. The Global Army couldn't accept those resources without establishing new deals.

Those problems didn't only affect the nobles, the Nognes Excellencies, and Khan's close allies. The Global Army's upper echelon wasn't faring too well after Lord Rsi publicly mentioned the Emperor. The Empire was a massive and fearsome monster, and humankind would quickly give up on a few Generals for its allegiance.

In short, no matter which side, everyone was mad, tense, and impatient, preparing for the worst while also doing their best to be ready for potential benefits. However, the wait for Khan's return was getting unbearable, especially since the Empire didn't release any information.
