The Emperor of the Suthers Empire has already relinquished his power and is shouting long live in front of the portrait of the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire, while the Laines Empire is still struggling, hoping to use the geographical advantage to block the Great Tang Empire's advance.
Between the Suthers Empire and the Laines Empire, there is a giant mountain range that separates most of their border.
These mountains are nearly impassable, with only two gaps at Northern Ridge to Brunas and Ice Crystal City to Jade City.
Evidently, this kind of terrain is quite favorable for the defending side: as long as Jade City is held, there is no way to breach the Laines Empire's defense line from the direction of Brunas or Ice Crystal City.
The terrain of the entire Eastern Continent suddenly narrows here, making the Laines Empire a transportation hub on the continent, prospering for several centuries.
