Ten more weeks passed away in the blink of an eye.
Qilin Empire and Pearl River kingdom lost the war against Genesis Federation, under the leadership of Commander Alina. It was actually a brutal war.
Unlike Shi Chong, the Ming Dynasty refused to bend his knee even when his defeat became certain. Even after Emperor Ming was killed, the war didn't end, as his son stubbornly continued to fight, and neither did most of the vassal lords try to rebel.
It was quite a bloody affair. Or else, it would have only taken Mark a couple of days to make it fall.
Alina tried her best to keep casualties to a minimum, but still, more than 400,000 civilian casualties and the death of 300,000 soldiers (that's almost 90% of the entire force) occurred in the end.
