Ever since the Advance Team sent back news of their defeat, the entire frontline Headquarters immediately fell into chaos. The only good news that brought joy to Wang Xu was that Luo'er and his team landed safely without any casualties, and successfully evaded the pursuit of the High-peak people. The bad news, however, was that they lost a significant amount of their weapons and equipment.
There has always been dissatisfaction within the High-peak people's ranks towards the domineering attitude of the Headquarters. Quite a number of the High-peak upper class advocate for Ronisca to establish a relationship of complete equality with Headquarters, rather than their current one, where they are constantly interfered with and controlled.
Opposition within Ronisca to the Headquarters is led by Crown Prince Masya who, according to the intelligence gathered, orchestrated the deal to export cannons to Masya. This transaction was never reported to the Headquarters.
