"He can't make a move personally without the risk of breaking the unofficial treaty between them and the Saviors... but he will definitely send his dogs to get rid of our region like he did to Seraphis' region," the High Chancellor said solemnly.

Heliodor's Upper Echelon weren't idiots... they understood that the best opportunity to eliminate the Hound was by ambushing him while he was still trapped in Seraphis' dominion.
