The Martial Unity

That day, a ripple spread.

It originated from the Kandrian throne hall, rapidly spreading outwards. In just fifteen minutes, it had spread across Kandria.

Or at least, the highest echelons of Kandria.

Although communication technology was scarce, it was well-established in the top ten percent of humanity. Within the highest echelons of humanity, there were vast information and communication networks that were centered around mass-mined esoteric substances that were common enough to base a technological and artifact paradigm upon.

Thus, although the commoners of human civilization had yet to hear about the news and may never hear about it, the powers that drove human civilization on the East side of the gigantic Panama Continent had already received it shortly after the titanic revelation was disclosed.

In this case, the news moved far too quickly.

Not just because of the weight and sheer significance of the shocking revelation, not just because the second most powerful man in East Panama disclosed it, but also because Emperor Rael had invited every single significant and important person of the many powers and forces of Kandria to the Royal Addressal Ceremony.

Each and every single one of them left the throne hall impatient to share the gossip with everybody in their circle and network.

The consequence was that the information spread like wildfire through the powers of East Panama. In literally less than an hour, every rich, influential, authoritative, and powerful figure across all of East Panama has received the news.
