Chapter 100
The Accretia Empire’s foreign policy stance was simple.
The Bellato Federation and the Holy Corite Alliance were objects of both love and hate from the Empire’s perspective. They were archenemies, yet at times, also companions. This was because they shared a common origin as humans. Even in hostile situations, non-governmental exchanges were never completely blocked.
However, when it came to alien species, the Empire maintained a strict stance of contempt and exclusion. Aliens were never granted equal rights with humans in the Empire. Most were either slaves or illegal immigrants. Only a select few who were deemed useful were given mere permission to stay.
‘Either way, aliens were a rare sight in the Empire.’
That didn’t mean the Empire tried to hide their existence.
In fact, within the Imperial Guard and military, some alien species were even specifically studied.
‘Fredo, Saura, Crawler... and Equessian.’
These were the names of alien species I was familiar with. They all had one thing in common—they were so warlike or possessed such exceptional combat prowess that they were known as warrior races.
In other words, they were species highly likely to be encountered as enemies of the Empire. And today, I had come face to face with one of them.
Bzzzz!
The Equessian before me extended his spear sharply, observing me. His hand gripping the spear had four fingers, and beyond his mask, his fierce eyes gleamed ominously. The stripes on his body glowed with an orange hue, releasing excess heat accumulated within.
