The Fire and The Storm - The Nexus of Kellaran #2

Chapter 161

Part 24

“The aquatic races are behind us all, and are still in the initial stages of militarizing and preparing for war. While most of our populations are now soldiers training to fight in the void, and the other established races of The Just Alliance are now soldiers and militia who are training to be wizards, the aquatics are still training civilians to be soldiers as they expand from fairly small peacetime levels of military participation. Of them the Kag are most ready, being a predatory and aggressive race that have had many conflicts, both among themselves and with other races. The Southernmost are the other extreme; while they are also a predatory race who have as much potential for warfare in their nature as any other, they have been so isolated and so civilized throughout their entire existence that they have never had a war.

“When the time-bubbles end, those within them will emerge expecting only minor changes in the world over the two months of real time that they missed, but they will face a surprisingly different Kellaran.

“At any rate, because of the results of Mark and his family’s actions, military training was accelerated in Serminak, and we in Xervia have chosen to match them in that.

“The time has now come for The Just Alliance to re-assert control over our world’s militaries again, since the gods have decided that exercises involving all of Kellaran’s nations are the next reasonable step in our military development, and I agree.

“We are making great strides in a short time, and even if the gods had not requested their inclusion, I fear that the nations of Debivin, Kletiuk, Felion, Oceania, and the undersea peoples are falling too far behind us. Though they may not be able to bring all of their forces to bear in our next exercise, we should ask them to bring what they can.

“I therefore ask that we meet with their rulers and commanders who remain available, tomorrow at the twentieth hour, Standard Time, in The Hall of The Just Alliance.

“Are we agreed?”

He took a quick accounting of the responses, and nodded. “We are agreed. I will take responsibility for briefing the aquatic rulers and commanders on what has transpired, and asking them to the meeting. Prince Mark, will you speak with the humanoids?”

“Certainly.” Mark nodded.

“Thank you.
