In the past six months, the Kingdom had lost five thousand Samurai, five thousand elite Militia, and thirteen thousand from the Lake Region Militia. The people of Tarasco had steadfastly held the last third of their fortress clusters, with four thousand of the fallen warriors being reinforcements from Tekos. The Alliance, on the other hand, had suffered casualties of seven thousand Mexica Samurai and twelve thousand Militia. The losses on both sides had started to even out, and the offensive push of the Alliance had been exhausted.
