After reaching an agreement, Emperor Marcus and others laughed and left the conference hall.
They led the Empire's high officials straight outside.
Normally, the many reporters present would have chased after them for an interview. However, considering the other party is an autocratic emperor, not a single reporter dared to do so, and thus all eyes turned to President of Alles and his people.
They swarmed forward, holding microphones to ask questions.
"President of Alles, how do you view the excessive demands proposed by the Imperial Army—will the Alliance really compromise?"
"Lord Maudo, how will we respond next?"
"Will there really be a turning point in seven days?"
...
"Please calm down, it's not currently the time for an interview."
The NCOs beside Alles and his group stood up to block the reporters.
Maudo and others watched the scene before them and listened to the questions from the reporters, their expressions becoming increasingly grim.
