Chapter 103: Five Days To War
Within the grand assembly hall of the United Federation of Allied Nations—UNFAN—the air was thick with tension. The leaders and representatives of the five great nations—Valtania, Galvia, Zhonghua, Kyokai, and Maravalia—sat still, their gazes fixed on the lone figure who stood unshaken in the center of the chamber: Veerendra, the sovereign of Aryavrata.
His voice echoed like thunder, unwavering and sharp.
"Does any member of UNFAN oppose my decision?" Veerendra asked, his eyes scanning the room.
Silence followed. Not one leader dared raise a voice. Not a whisper of dissent.
Veerendra narrowed his eyes, the aura around him intensifying.
"Then let it be known," he declared, his voice booming with divine authority, "if any nation dares to interfere or takes the side of Calonia, they shall fall with them. We do not seek war with innocents, but we will obliterate any who stand against justice. Aryavrata does not harm the citizens of any nation—but traitors and conspirators will face divine retribution."
The hall trembled as Veerendra raised his hand and roared a name, "Haider Ali!"
In a flash of light, a tall, armored warrior emerged before him, kneeling with utmost reverence.
"Yes, my lord," Haider Ali said, bowing his head.
"Begin preparations," Veerendra commanded. "Mobilize our legions. In five days, we march. The fires of Aryavrata shall descend upon Calonia. War has been declared."
Allies and enemies alike felt the weight of those words, and the world watched as the countdown to retribution began.
