The soothing music in the room cannot conceal the raging storm within people's hearts.
Gafura's diplomat was quite right; when one becomes accustomed to using simple methods to deal with issues, the further it goes, the less inclined they are to use complex approaches.
Even thinking seems to have become a burden.
It's just like Gafura in previous years; they were invincible, and no one in the world could defeat them at sea. They were causing trouble everywhere around the world.
Attacking a port based on a rumor or masquerading as pirates to plunder at sea.
Unreasonable, and increasingly unreasonable.
Because Emperor Gafura found that reasoning not only tired him but failed to achieve their expected gains, it also incited anger.
So, why bother reasoning?
The bay is blocked, shells loaded — either apologize and pay up, or attack the port.
The loss from the destruction of a port far exceeds the extortion by Emperor Gafura, so just pay him!
