The royal banner has fallen, but this is only the beginning. Establishing a new order is not easy; before everything stabilizes, countless issues need to be addressed— for Gawain, the only good news is that the resistance he faces has already collapsed for various reasons. Anzu has undergone a thorough cleansing in this disaster, and what he faces is a wasteland to be rebuilt, nothing but a wasteland to be rebuilt.
Moreover, he has gained the support of two Guardian Dukes, as well as the support of remaining royal families—at least on the surface.
The battles in the southern and eastern regions of St. Soniel have not yet completely ended. The mechanical forces and field fortresses have segmented those areas into many dead zones, where the Crystal Cluster Monsters that wandered over from the Plains of the Holy Spirits are ground to dust against those blockade lines, like entering a pulverizer.
