The emergence of the light-speed warship left all the diplomatic attaches at the Grimvarn Isle Conference Center utterly astonished.
They were firsthand witnesses to what many would call a marvel.
Despite global skepticism, they could not deny what they had directly seen.
The ship's grandeur radiated an undeniable majesty, commanding awe from everyone present.
Yet, despite the extraordinary occurrence, the wider world refused to accept its authenticity.
With modern AI, 3D imaging, and editing technologies, it was easy to fabricate such visuals.
Could this be a mere illusion?
Is this a scene from a Hollenwood science fiction movie?
A light-speed warship?
How is it possible that such a futuristic artifact could materialize in front of the conference hall on Grimvarn Isle?
This prank by Divine Drakebane has surely gone too far!
The appearance of the light-speed warship stirred up a frenzy online.
No one could believe that a scene typically reserved for sci-fi films could manifest in real life.
"Haha, I've always said that today's showdown between Divine Drakebane and the Autreynian military base is just a sci-fi script spun by some overimaginative netizen!
"How can reality be so fantastical?"
A netizen vented furiously online.
Quickly, a chorus of agreement followed.
"This has to be some elaborate joke!
"It must be those overzealous patriots from Draconia, concocting an elaborate fantasy where they can showcase their might, stand proud, and feel valorous.
"With their reputation for being cowards, how could they pull off such a daring stunt?"
A Kangaroth netizen then shared a playful and humorous image.
"They only act bold within their own confines; they would not dare step out and prove themselves!
"Those cowards can't even stand up straight!"
The Draconian netizens quickly shot back.
"Divine Drakebane is our hero!
"Our soldiers are far from weak!
"Just look at our mighty ships and cannons, look at our legions of soldiers!
"Divine Drakebane will ensure Autreynia is brought to its knees this time!
"And to you punks who are so eager for a challenge, you're welcome to test him!"
...
Draconia's online trolls have a notorious reputation.
Once they unleash their vitriol, few dare to engage with them.
Their verbal assaults pack a stronger punch than the polished rhetoric of the foreign affairs department.
These trolls are unconcerned with their public image or future interactions.
Their only aim is to unleash their fury, ready to hurl insults at any provocation.
Once provoked, they relentlessly attack until their victims are practically frothing at the mouth and flailing wildly.
Following a barrage from Draconia's troll army, the online realm quieted down.
Now, the attention of countless onlookers was riveted on the doors of the Grimvarn Isle conference hall.
At this moment, the world seemed to pause.
Everything and everyone stops; all activities grind to a halt, wondering if this is reality.
"They seek to discuss and negotiate matters concerning Joanna, Eira, and the globally wanted criminal, Robin."
Jethro turned to Robin, who nodded, allowing him to initiate a video call with the Autreynian diplomatic attache.
Mr. Stein, the Autreynian attache, stated gravely, "General Quintana, please convey to Robin that violence does not resolve issues but only intensifies conflicts.
"If Divine Drakebane persists in his reckless actions, his violence will ignite global public indignation.
"Furthermore, the Autreynian authorities urge Draconia's leadership to act responsibly and prevent Divine Drakebane from destabilizing the world order ... "
Before Jethro could reply, Robin interjected loudly, addressing the Autreynian side through the live broadcast.
"You are the ones who initiated the violence!
"And now you preach that violence can't solve problems!
"Do you Autreynians always engage in such double standards, spewing contradictions?
"When you brandish your power over the world, declaring your might, why don't you mention that violence only escalates conflicts and spreads global fear?
"You speak so loftily of world order! So, what exactly is this world order you tout?
"Is it your world rule to use chains of islands to subjugate sovereign regions into servitude?
"You claim that violence isn't the answer, yet it is you who perpetuate it!
"I am not like the diplomatic figures you're used to dealing with. Provoke me, and you will face consequences!
"My principle has always been clear: if you don't provoke me, I won't target you. But if you cross me, I will eradicate you!
"Who empowered you to abduct Joanna and Eira?
"There will be no negotiations on this matter!
"If the Autreynian high-level officials continue to collaborate with Gilkes of the Panacea Ocean Warrior Alliance and the top 20 families, then I, Dragon Drakebane, will treat them exactly as they treat others!
"In summary, unless the high-level officials of Autreynia bow down before the entire world and meet all my demands, the only outcome will be relentless retribution!"
