Emperor Junero's departure shook the whole of the Orc Empire. It was more shocking to the Orcs than Sui Xiong's earlier elimination of Isis.
These past 100 years, under the leadership of this "frail scholar," the Orc Empire had expanded at an unceasing pace. They were becoming more powerful and prosperous with each passing day, and the country's administrative systems were becoming increasingly orderly and proper.

Possibly, it would even signal the collapse of the regime—because at the time, the Orc Empire's upper class had consisted of regional officials, most of which were Isis members.
