The situation in Sikeqinya was still considered stable, because Sikeqinya was bordered by many mountains. The knights from Holy See could not breach it for the time being. The thing so worrying was that mercenaries from Sikeqinya had seized the opportunity to enter Loulan, because Sikeqinya was not involved in the war.
The Tanggulasi Empire had hired many low grade mercenary groups to defend the castles, while its own army was assembling at Loulan's border. This meant that these mercenaries had helped the Tanggulasi Empire save on a lot of manpower, thus the empire could concentrate all its efforts on dealing with Qin, which was a tough nut to crack.
