Years passed.
Chaos first broke out within the Freedom City-States Federation.
It wasn't just the impact of the Death Church; a whole new class had emerged.
Represented by factory owners and major merchants, they controlled the prices of bulk commodities and trade channels, desperately needing to acquire more benefits, to break down the barriers of nations, and abolish the various customs and onerous taxes.
The old feudal system had lost its progressiveness.
Rebellions first erupted in the coastal cities, where the upper echelons of the Federation of the Freedom City-States hastily mobilized troops to suppress them, including a considerable number of Transcendents.
However, the "Steam Light" had already come to the forefront, beginning to increase support for the rebels.
New weapons of war were developed.
These included high-pressure steam rifles, high-powered howitzers, and full-coverage steam mechas operable by ordinary people!
