October.
The Third Prince, originally tasked with quelling the rebellion, suddenly moved his army west, opening a direct path for the rebel forces to the Divine Capital.
November.
Heavenly General Cao Jian led his five-hundred-thousand-strong army straight for the Divine Capital, conquering every city and territory in his path, seemingly invincible.
By the time the rebel army reached the outskirts of the capital, their numbers, including those conscripted along the way, had swelled to a million.
Their power was staggering!
And yet, his doom was already sealed.
Before them lay the Court's elite and the Divine Capital's Imperial Guard, while behind them, the Third Prince gave chase with eight hundred thousand soldiers. Caught in a pincer attack, they had no path of retreat.
December.
A heavy snow began to fall.
The drought had finally come to an end.
Heavenly General Cao Jian was surrounded and met his end at Star Prison Slope, bringing the years-long rebellion to a close.
