"Your Majesty," a military intelligence director drew Rui's attention. "Even if they are preoccupied with a war, our net war potential is still less than one percent of theirs. It would not take them major effort in order to overrun our civilization. They would be able to spare the effort even if they had three opponents, as long as they deemed it worth it."
"Correct," Rui nodded at the man with a serious expression. "That's why I don't intend to simply bank on the fact that they have two other wars keeping them busy, that would be wishful thinking. I think we need to capitalize on this. According to Sage Sayfeel, who I recently deployed on a mission of espionage into arakaian territory, the dessandrites reached out to the aquadites and forged an alliance the second the arakai attacked the latter. I believe it would be possible for us to forge an alliance with the dessandrites and the aquadites as well."
