As soon as Jason finished speaking, another one of Filren’s senior officials retorted, “Are you kidding? Everyone knows that we’ve threatened to declare war on Diatoran. They’re all waiting for it to start!”

After thinking about it, Byron suggested, “We can get a few people to act as assassins for Diatoran. Then, we’ll destroy the countdown and say that Diatoran used dirty tricks to avoid facing us in battle.”

“Well, I think it won’t be a big deal even if we don’t send out our army once the countdown ends,” Kenelm piped up.

“That won’t do! Over a million Diatoranian soldiers have gathered at their western border. Even if we don’t dispatch our army, the Diatoranians are still a threat to us,” Jason said.

Just then, an intelligence officer rushed in, saying, “Your Majesty! Jerry Andrews would like to talk to you.”

Byron was taken aback. Why did Jerry want to talk to him now? What was he up- to?

“Your Majesty, this is clearly a sign that Diatoran is panicking. I think you should use this chance to exert more pressure on them and intimidate them!” Jason said with a smile.

He figured the Diatoranians were calling because they were getting antsy.

“Alright! I’ll do as you say,” Byron agreed with a smile, thinking that Jason made an excellent point.

Byron took the call and asked haughtily, “Isn’t it a bit too late for you to beg for mercy now, Mr. Andrews? There are only a few hours left till we declare war on you.”

As long as the war hasn’t begun, it’s not too late, “Jerry said amiably.
