Chapter 1589

Bren deliberately brought up the previous war to elicit sympathy from the Western countries.

As he participated in the negotiations, he already had confidence that the scales of victory would tip in his favor. He had thoroughly gathered evidence of Pavona's plans to invade Drakonia, making it impossible for anyone to side with Locke in the face of such evidence.

Even Locke felt uneasy seeing all the evidence laid out against him.

However, both Bren and Locke were astonished when the jury of judges unanimously sided with Pavona.

"Even though it was the other side's plan, the Northern Plains Army also invaded Pavona's territory and killed high-ranking officials. This is an undeniable fact," one of the judges stated.

"If you had convened this joint meeting immediately upon being persecuted, maybe we would have supported you. But now that you've drawn your sword against the other side, you are both victims and instigators of war. We can no longer support you," another judge added.
