Chapitre 2147: When War?

While the Republic of Gorteau could be characterized as the greediest of its peers, its reaction and approach were hardly unique.

While all three powerhouses were extremely alarmed at the revelation of the mass Apprentice breakthroughs, none of them leaped into an all-out war.

The Sekigahara Confederate certainly came the closest, though.

"Now then…" a woman calmly remarked as her gaze swept across the table. 

The thirteen other leaders of the Sekigahara Confederate met her gaze.

A pleasant smile appeared on her face.

"Shall we declare war today or tomorrow?"

She heaved a melodramatic sigh as she gazed out a window. "I'd love to do it today, but…"

Her expression became one of displeasure.

"War should be declared at dawn. It is a bad omen to do so at dusk."

The matriarch of the Tsukishi Clan snorted. "You superstitious lot of the Tanaka Clan. War is war. We should declare war right now as far as I'm concerned."
