They are trying to destroy Arcadia completely!"
"How can anyone possibly accept such conditions?!"
People discussed the matter angrily everywhere because everyone understood clearly that if such demands were truly accepted, then the Arcadia Empire would effectively be finished forever.
Seventy percent of its territory...
What would even remain afterward?
How could such a crippled Empire continue maintaining itself any longer after losing the majority of its lands, resources, and influence?
It was simply impossible.
Even ordinary citizens who understood little about politics could clearly see that the four major Empires were no longer negotiating for peace.
They were trying to carve Arcadia apart completely and devour whatever remained of it.
Therefore, the Arcadia Empire could only choose to refuse the demands placed before them because accepting such humiliating conditions would have been no different from destroying the Empire with their own hands.
