The Qilin Empire descended into chaos after the capture of Grey and his friends. With the news already spreading in the other empires, it didn't take long before the Qilin Empire was bombarded.
The forces of the Qilin Empire have not only been pushed back into their territory but they have been forced to run with their tails between their legs. The Stellar Continent finally made the betrayal that everyone was expecting.
It was common knowledge that the unification of both empires was because the Stellar Empire couldn't afford to see the Qilin Empire wiped out. But in any case, they wouldn't mind joining forces with the other three empires to wipe it out. At least in that way, they would get a share in their territory.
