Exiro blinked. Well. He was a little surprised by that turn. Very well then, he stood up to respond.
"I obviously vote Nay."
"The idea that monsters and common crooks are the only enemies we must face, that the alliance must face, is a naive one. A benefit given to those removed from the dangers of threats on their border. The conquering of Nhdit Nuskri was to stop the rise of a clearly hostile force to the Alliance and all nations around it, and to ensure that no threat could rise again. To see that the benefits of the Alliance could be brought to it's people despite the wishes of a wicked ruler. King Menkaure Khulka did not refuse to grant Nhdit Nuskri membership of the Alliance merely because he wished to handle the threats of the Swarms and other dangers of this world itself, which any nation has the right to have, but because he viewed the Alliance as a competitor and rival force to his own personal power, and Kor Vurneus shall not apoligise for seeing him cast down, nor agree to be ham-stringed by bureaucracy and distant bleeding hearts in this proffered manner."
"This Alliance was formed against an inhuman danger, to give nations the freedom to exist without dedicating their citizens to martial combat if not desired, and to join arms swiftly if otherwise. It is not a tool for us to judge and control the actions and choices of it's members except in the most extreme situations."
"And also, the insinuation that Kor Vurneus can not contribute it's share to defending the Alliance against the threat of the swarms, and the comparison of these monsters to my country, is blatant, and offensive. I must answer to this specifically, and shall ignore what else has been implied."
