Many of the cities that Great Qin had helped and had good relations with started to cry out in outrage on behalf of Great Qin. They stood out to state that Great Qin had always treated them as friends and had never threatened them. Those who had joined Great Qin had all joined voluntarily.
The various City Lords stated that because of the natural disasters, they had burned through resources quickly, but Great Qin had supported them this entire time – Great Qin was righteous and kind, and those who said that Great Qin was violent, bloodthirsty, evil, and barbaric did not know what Great Qin was truly like.
