Chapter 296 (1): Impregnable Fortress x Unbreakable Defense x Advantage Is Ours
“In this solemn moment, perhaps the most critical hour in our nation’s history, I hereby address every citizen...”
“The vast majority of us will be facing a second war!”
“We have sought to resolve disputes between nations through peaceful means numerous times, but all in vain...”
“We must accept this challenge!”
“We will face difficult days ahead, and war will not be confined to the front lines...”
“We pray sincerely that as long as all of us uphold justice and resolve our conviction, we shall prevail with the gods on our side!”
On television, Queen Sophelia’s speech develops with soaring and somber moments in turns. First, she expressed Windsor’s resignation about the war’s arrival and how she had tried her best to prevent it. Then, she condemned the evil Prussia and her evil Führer. Finally, she called on the citizens to unite and defeat evil to achieve victory.
Victory shall be Windsor’s!
Clap, clap, clap!
