The festive atmosphere of the New Year had not yet faded when news arrived to shatter the cheer.
The Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty was conscripting soldiers again, this time in even greater numbers than before.
The conscription wasn't limited to Qing State; it extended to the other thirty-one states as well. In fact, all Thirty-Two States of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty were included in the draft, with no exceptions.
The Overlord Level powers in every major state were ordered to send disciples to support the war effort. No specific individuals were named, but quotas were imposed.
The two conscriptions occurred in quick succession, and the attitude of the major sects was naturally not as favorable as it had been initially.
Bound by their treaties, the major sects would of course send disciples as reinforcements. However, to do so consecutively was beginning to stir dissent.
