Whenever the Emperor spoke, people had to go silent. His voice was too loud to allow any other sound to exist alongside it.
Moreover, the Emperor was fearsome enough to silence eventual complaints through his mere presence. He commanded the strongest military force in the regulated universe for a reason, and his decisions could force the entire allied front to play along because of that.
The Emperor had even been correct. Defending against an enemy that could appear anywhere and whenever it wanted was impossible, especially when it had a target as big as the regulated universe at its disposal.
Yet, the opposite strategy wasn't feasible. Even Khan didn't know where the Scarlet Eyes were, and an attack wasn't possible without a target.
"Emperor," Khan called, knowing he would have to be the one to interact with that fearsome being. "Does the Empire know where the Scarlet Eyes went?"
