When the commander of Manchu forces in the near east caught wind of the situation in Llamordica, it was followed by a new switch out of troops. Classified documents on the matter stated that a war between the 2 would be a "disaster". Upon seeing Manchuria's ally Incaedium ally with Llamordica, the Manchus chose to be completely neutral. As said privately by Chongwen "The Monkian Army is a group of battle-hardened veterans, and have been proven to outclass their opponents on all sides. Clearly we must stay out of this issue as much as we can."
