Synopsis

The chapter opens with Redford expressing disillusionment with the Kingdom Alliance's passive approach towards the Cronos Empire and their refusal to confront the growing threat. They then dramatically withdraw from the alliance, citing their unwillingness to act while others face the Empire's wrath. Meanwhile, Roman Dmitri, having survived his recent conflict, criticizes the alliance for failing to recognize the significance of his victory against the Empire. He then announces his intention to declare war on the Cronos Empire alone, rallying his dukedom for immediate conflict.
