The Allaneans were even now embroiled in the Second Freemen's Crusade in Pudu. Millions of troops waited with bated breath as they were about to receive their deployment orders. Hundreds of thousands already fought, struggling with bayonet and rifle at the very edge of the front line, where men and slavers alike fought for every tiny patch of soil.
But the Second Freemen's Crusade was not only being fought in Pudu. And on the day that the Allaneans had received the joyous news of the Unilisans joining the Amistad Declarations, they knew that they would have now the resources to expand the warfighting, to take war and steel to yet another slaver power.
The message was therefore crafted and sent to those very slavers – the Council of Magistrates, the Body of legislators of Vorindun. It was deemed by the Emperor of Greater Prussia to be worst of them all: a state that incorporated both slavery and Nazism, and therefore was moved forward to the very front of the list of states that would suffer Allanea's wrath. And it had committed other crimes, too.
Therefore, Alexander Kazansky had personally crafted his message to the Council of Magistrates of Vorindun. Written was it upon parchment made out of slaver flesh, and stamped it was with his Amistad Seal, decorated in slaver bone, with its surface forged from the dog-tags of slaver troops.
We, by the Grace of God the Emperor of Greater Prussia, hereby do declare that in its actions, practicing openly the unholy practice of chattel slavery, Vorindun had set itself apart not merely as a Nazi state – already in itself repugnant – but slaver state. Under the purview of International law, it is therefore not merely the right, but the duty of the United States of Allanea to wage war upon the slaver, for thus speaks the Declaration: “We will declare total, unbridled war against the slavers. We will spare no means, no weapon, no tactic we find appropriate to the advancement of our just cause. “
But the Amistad Declaration had not prohibited Us from choosing the manner and time where We, the Emperor of Greater Prussia, and the President of Allanea, fight our enemies. Should it please us, we might invade Imeriata tomorrow, or Olesia in a week, or perhaps some other slaver-den in a month. We do not owe the world to invade, or not invade, a given slaver-den. The crimes, however, of the Vorindun are worse than this.
First, the Vorindun have taunted the international community, declaring urbi et orbi that they traffic slaves, hiding behind their so-called sovereignty, taunting others to attack their slave convoys. Slavers have no sovereignty, because slavers are not people. Wolves have no sovereignty, bears have no sovereignty, coyotes have no sovereignty. I, the Emperor of Greater Prussia and President of the United States, reserve the right to go on varmint hunts whensoever I wish. Let the slavers learn not to taunt human beings, lest they attract our attention.
Second, the Vorindun have suppressed various sapient rights even of non-slaves -freedom of assembly, sexual liberties, the right to one's own body, etc. To do so while simultaneously taunting the world community, at a time where the world already has a premise under international law to strike and destroy, was suicidally foolish. Yet the Vorindun have the right to suicide, and have apparently chosen to exercise it. We will oblige.
Second, the Vorindun have suppressed the rights of several sapient species on a racial basis, including but not limited to, elves. It is Allanea's stated foreign policy goal to promote and assist the interests of elvenkind, for we owe the magnaminity of elvenkind our national sovereignty and our freedom. Often have the Noldor come to the assistance of Allaneans. Now shall the enemies of elvenkind know fear. Now they shall know the night eternal.
Thus do I, Alexander Kazansky, Emperor of Greater Prussia, President of Allanea, King of Reichskamphen, Emperor of the Thousand States, Archduke of Dragkon, Liberator of Torontonias, Count of Centreville, General-Secretary of the Confederacy of Sovereign States and the Coalition of Drug-Exporting Nations, and President of the CAPINTERN, on behalf of the United States of Allanea, Greater Prussia, CAPINTERN, and CSS, draw my sword once more, and invite my friends from Unilisia and Libertarian Governance to draw theirs.
Vorindun! This is my last: abolish slavery and Nazism, and I draw my sword back into its scabbard.
That is all.
May God Continue to Bless Allanea.
Even as the message is delivered, ships and men begin leaving Allanean harbors.
