"So what should I do then?"
Aksai finally asked, his tone calm but carrying a quiet weight.
"You've told me about Kalingoot, about the Alliance, and how the Big Five will play their games… but what about me? What should I do in all this?"
The Frostbound Lord answered right away.
"You should act decisively when the real war begins," he said.
"Don't waste your strength on petty skirmishes or small shows of power. When the Alliance and Kalingoot finally clash head-on, that's when you strike—and strike hard. Score major victories early on. Show overwhelming strength when everyone else hesitates."
Aksai frowned slightly. "And that will make a difference?"
"It will," the Frostbound Lord replied.
"In the early chaos, everyone will be watching. The Big Five sects, the demonic ones, even the neutral powers. They'll all be waiting to see who bleeds first, who wins first.
