"System announcement! The Dead Tree Region has been conquered by Japan. China's overall Fate has decreased while Japan's overall Fate has increased."
This region was naturally easily conquered by Japan, and the other nations to the east of China, North Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia also attacked.
Out of those four nations, the Philippines was the most powerful, and it often had conflict with China about territory. As such, both sides had been eyeing each other with enmity for quite some time.
However, they were not as arrogant as Korea or as perverse as Japan, and their invasion was much more direct and bloody, like the invasions in the south.
There were ten million Philippines players gathered together, forming a terrifying army. They flooded into a region, wanting to kill all Chinese players.
