578 Irene's Dilemma

"Zirians…stand tall! For hope is not yet lost. See this again and witness how we were able to push back the imperial army and even its leader, the Xeton Emperor, the most powerful emperor. This is a historical feat that we had never been able to achieve, especially in a time when we didn't even have the time to prepare against a sudden attack. It is indeed true that we have lost a lot of good people but let us not let their deaths be in vain. The Xeton Emperor will never rest till he eradicates every single one of us. So the only choice we have is to fight back with every single ounce of our strength. Giving up is for cowards and for those without honor. But with Triton and the Lightning Prince at our midst, it is only a matter of time before our Zirian Empire sees the light of day again," Irene said in an impassioned tone as she addressed the surviving Zirians, including the experts like Blake and Shania.
