Sener suddenly stood up, looking shocked and staring for several moments, as if finding it incredible: "The Empire and the Federation, both backing him up?"
"How could this be?" she asked again, clearly unsettled.
This is the Empire, the Federation, always having their sights high; if a conflict arises, they're usually the ones to back down.
These two great civilizations have almost never made such statements, voicing support for outsiders.
Even if an ally under them is attacked, they rarely publicly reprimand the assailant.
After all, the interstellar universe is so vast; if the attacker truly disappears, there's no way to find them, which would be quite embarrassing.
Anatoli put down the knife in his hand, and also looked up to carefully read the news, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, "Strictly speaking, it's not considered full support."
The Empire and the Federation's wording are different; the Empire is harsher, using "will not tolerate".
