"I will now discuss today's agenda," Thirteen said before shifting his attention to the representatives of the Artemian Forces, headed by their surviving minister, Lysander.
He paused for a bit to make sure that everyone's attention was on him.
"First, I plan to attack the world of Artem," Thirteen stated, stirring the only three Artemians in the room. "Of course, I will not force anyone to participate in this operation. Only those willing to join this endeavor would go.
"This is not compulsory, so if you are sick and tired of fighting, you can sit this one out. Make sure to inform everyone that there will be no punishments, or demerits for non-participation.
"However, to those who want a piece of the world of Artem and have their own territories in that world, you will need to prove your worth on the battlefield."
Thirteen knew that not many wished to continue fighting after the war in the Cygni Continent ended, so he gave them all a way out.
