Along his journey, Rui stopped by several Sage-level nations and Master-level powerhouses, strengthening as many as he could. Many of these nations were in the sphere of influence of the Sekigahara Confederate or Britannian Empire and thus had previously had no choice but to fall in line and join the East Panamic Treaty Alliance against the Kandrian Empire in the third Great East Panamic War.
Many of them had also had their leaders assassinated by the Emperor of Harmony through the Silent Shadow.
Yet, they welcomed the Dawnbringer as though he was an old friend.
They were even more friendly than the Sekigahara Confederate.
For they were even more desperate than the Sekigahara Confederate.
They also hated him less. They had only joined the war against the Kandrian Empire because they had no choice. Thus, their gratitude for him and all the blessings that he had bestowed upon them was entirely genuine.
