At this moment, across the world, the populace finally realized that something had happened. The huge mobilization of troops was something that could not be hidden from them after all.
"What happened? Why is there suddenly a call for mobilization? Are we going to war with someone?" one bystander in the Martal Empire asked in astonishment as they saw many troops suddenly gathering from various directions toward the imperial palace.
Many also started to enter some of the interstellar vessels that had already been prepared to take off.
"I heard from my cousin who works in the imperial army that this is a black order of war from His Majesty. It looks like there will be a great war," another bystander answered.
"A great war? Against who?"
"I don't know, but we will see in the next few hours. I think we will know then."
