The Frost Serevan Expedition High Commander, Grand Admiral Seijurou Kuribayashi, dismissed the Bruuman statement stating, "The Ryccians may be butchers, but we will never forsake our allies [like Erinor] when they have been invaded by a foreign power. Had Bruuma or Ryccia respected the will of people of Erinor and Sereva, we, the Frost Empire, would have never bared our fangs and intervened in support of Erinor."
