Congress.
The flames of war had engulfed the Federation's Capital.
This seemingly final battle gripped hearts around the world.
On one side stood Chun Prefecture's main force, led by its figurehead, Queen Xiao Yuan.
On the other stood the main force of Qiao, the Federation's strongest Commander-in-Chief.

Blood and shredded flesh had even clogged the districts' sewers.
The stench of corpses and blood filled the air for several kilometers around.
"Commander-in-Chief, Connington District has been captured."
"Commander-in-Chief, Thatcher District has been captured."

Just one more step...

"The Chun Prefecture bandits have fewer than three thousand fighters left."
