"Very well," Luna said at last. "Tell me more."
Atlas leaned forward, his tone sharpening.
"First, Luna - answer me this. Suppose the alliance currently holding the Central Fortress is Alliance A, while the one controlling most of the key zones is Alliance B. And let's call your faction Alliance C. In an all-out war, do you truly believe you could defeat either Alliance A or Alliance B?"
Luna fell silent, her gaze narrowing as she considered his words. The weight of the question lingered between them.
After a moment's pause, she exhaled softly.
"I'm not sure about an all-out battle," she admitted at last. "Because in terms of raw strength, Alliance C is outmatched by both A and B."
She fell silent again, her answer deliberate but vague. It was clear - she wasn't overconfident, but she also wasn't ruling herself out entirely.
Atlas smirked slightly.
