This protest lasted for several days, taking place in the fifteen largest cities on the planet. During this time, numerous media outlets reported on the event, highlighting the novel and unique aspects of the protest. Even those not interested in politics eagerly browsed related news and videos.

In a short span, the reputation of this small organization rapidly expanded, attracting many people interested in their activities. They soon confirmed the date for the next protest, with many gearing up to create more major headlines.

Their intentions were not difficult for the local government to discern, and soon their subsequent actions faced obstacles. The venue where they were discussing the next protest was directly raided by local police for disturbing public order, leading to arrests and dispersal.

Several months later, as the organization's members were gradually released, the popularity gained from the last protest was almost completely dissipated, and reports about the previous protest were suppressed by the authorities.

Such actions naturally incited the anger of the members, though most residents were indifferent, thinking it was merely a few days of detention with no excessive punishment. After all, it was considered amusing and interesting at the time, with no sense of heaviness involved; it was just a playful experience.

With few supporters currently, the members of the organization felt disheartened, thinking those around them were hopeless and unable to understand their grand ideas. Consequently, some decided to leave the Hunda Star Domain and head to the Lusheng Star Domain, where the previous 'Black Grain Sect' movement had been prominent.

Upon arriving in the Lusheng Star Domain, these individuals quickly began negotiating with the local 'Black Grain Sect', expressing their desire to join them.

Initially, the negotiations were not smooth, as the leaders of the 'Black Grain Sect' knew these individuals would likely be disruptive once integrated. Additionally, it would risk offending the Hunda Star Domain. However, as the situation escalated, some local residents became aware of these newcomers. According to the 'Black Grain Sect's' ideology of unity and mutual aid, they should accept the destitute and seekers of help indiscriminately, as long as they sincerely believe in His Highness.

Under these circumstances, not accepting these individuals would betray the previously propagated beliefs, significantly harming the 'Black Grain Sect's' popular support, which is their most crucial foundation.

Helplessly, the rational leaders had to express goodwill and accept these individuals, emphasizing that they must sincerely adhere to the 'Black Grain Sect's' creed and must not betray.

Thus, this group of members was accepted and settled down, beginning to attempt integrating into the local community.

Although Beastmen and humans are very different physically, with some distinct bodily structures, they found a good bridge of communication in their beliefs, thanks to the name of His Highness who once played the Fire Songstress 'Eranie'. Whenever this name was mentioned, both sides communicated pleasantly.

As time passed, this group truly integrated into the local society, engaging in various voluntary work, earning the recognition of local residents. After settling down, they resumed promoting the slogans from their previous protest online, and published photos and information about the police's inappropriate arrests and detentions, outlining the injustices in the Northern Star Region's Hunda Star Domain.

Such actions naturally angered the Hunda Star Domain officials, sparking online disputes and criticisms between the two sides, drawing another wave of attention. Ultimately, the Hunda Star Domain demanded the Lusheng Star Domain to repatriate these individuals.

Although the Hunda Star Domain's request was not unreasonable, handing over these people under the eyes of many citizens would be humiliating, diminish the faction's prestige, and violate previous promises. Therefore, the Lusheng Star Domain, led by the 'Black Grain Sect', ultimately rejected the repatriation proposal.

This refusal humiliated the Governor of the Hunda Star Domain, intensifying the conflict between the two Star Domains, leading to mutual bans on each other's imports and exports.

...

"The above is the recent cause of conflict between the Eastern Lusheng Star Domain and the Northern Hunda Star Domain." In a small conference room, Tilan sat at the head, listening to the reports from the Qiye Flower members on either side about the current federal situation.

"This conflict, for now, poses little problem." Her fingers lightly pressed the pages in front of her, then she shifted to the next topic.

"How is the development of the new Battleship going?" She looked toward the corner at the technical staff.

"We've already formed a preliminary team but still need some time to adapt and harmonize."

Although there is no major conflict within the Federation at present, in Tilan's view, as time progresses, internal federal separatism may intensify. Sooner or later, unresolved conflicts between various factions will erupt. Instead of being caught off guard then, it's better to prepare early, as sufficient force is required to ensure a peaceful development, isn't it?

"The Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain was once an important Battleship construction site for the Federation, gathering many related industries and personnel. Although much was dismantled and dispersed, the framework built in the past remains. Reconstructing it here would offer advantages over other Star Domains, and moreover—" She paused slightly.

"This is also the base of 'Jade Dragon'. Currently, using the industrial cluster effect brought by 'Jade Dragon', we can significantly reduce production and development costs."

After listening to Tilan's explanation, the core members present gradually understood her intentions. It seems His Highness is not someone benevolent and weak; wielding power allows one's voice to carry more weight.
