The Patriarch of the Shinken Clan heaved a sigh.
"Fools."
His tone had an edge to it.
The Patriarch of the Meran Clan glared at him defiantly. "What did you say?"
"I said that all of you are fools, aside from the Nindo Patriarch," Patriarch Shinken remarked. "You do not understand…"
His eyes sharpened.
"You do not understand what would have happened if it weren't the Kandrian Empire's intervention."
The clan leaders of the Sekigahara Confederate stiffened in silence.
"Tell me…" the Patriarch of the Shinken Clan remarked with a calm but chilling tone. "Would you rather be swallowed whole by a filthy monster that ravaged our lands, or would you rather submit to the Kandrian Empire? If you truly choose the latte,r then…"
He gestured in the general direction of the South-West towards the subsiding Beast Domain.
"By all means, be my guest."
His tone was ruthless as he asked them to put their money where their mouths were.
