The Emperor Maximus of the Indra Empire added his voice, quieter, but no less pressing:
"Commander… we have only a fraction of your fleet here. If the orcs attack, Earth won't hold. Not without support."
The Bear Emperor nodded grimly.
"Yes. We—Earth's powers—have no fleets strong enough to resist such an invasion. If the orcs breach your defense perimeter… the consequences for Earth would be catastrophic."
His tone was respectful, but the message carried weight—and mild warning. Kallus caught it. His eyes met the Bear Emperor's for a long moment.
But he let it go.
"You don't need to worry," Kallus said coolly. "None of you do."
He turned his gaze across the room. "Bear Imperium. Indra. Avalon. Jiang. You may lack strength, but you're under my protection—for now."
Then he looked to Chancellor Bai Zong qi.
Kallus leaned forward slightly, his voice even.
"Chancellor Bai. I intend to assign your forces the task of defending Earth and the Sol System."
