She argued that if the Zellonian Navy were temporarily "requisitioned" by the Veletians, they could de-escalate and slowly return the Zellonian Navy back to Zellonia as time went on. With no legitimate alternative, the Osladians and Kalpians agreed. [/list] [b][u]July 12th[/u][/b] [list][*]The [b]Xiang Delegation[/b] arrives in Yujin.
