Inside Yangxin Hall, Li Fei sat alone, reviewing the 'war report.'
The great war of those days, although Da Lan Dynasty emerged victorious in the end, was an extremely humiliating process.
For an empire that had dominated the Eastern Continent for over five hundred years, being routed all the way to the Capital was utterly disgraceful!
The reason for the swift and severe defeat in the early stages of that war was not only because the Western Alliance Army caught Da Lan Dynasty off guard, and Da Lan Dynasty was unprepared for the high-tech weapons from the Western Continent.
Another, even more important reason, was the inherent decay within Da Lan Dynasty itself!
In the 'war report' Li Fei read, from the West Coast all the way to the outskirts of Lanling City, five provinces and dozens of large cities lay in between.
In the face of the Western Alliance Army's onslaught, more than half of the cities surrendered without a fight or even fled directly by opening their gates!
