You donate a sizable chunk of funds to the temple. The high monks are overjoyed by your generosity and invite you to the nearest monastery for a lavish conversion ceremony. Facing a bronze idol of Buddha and lit red candles, you chant newly learned Buddhist hymns alongside monks in saffron colored robes. The monks compliment your devotion and spread word of your piousness far and wide.

Tales of your empire's prosperity and your popularity among your people travel with those of your piety. When citizens all over China learn of your realm's high quality of life, not only do the best, brightest, and bravest flock to your kingdom, but some cities even secede from their local warlord and voluntarily raise your banner.

Despite fierce crackdowns by the General's men, half of General Nahru's provinces secede from his kingdom and join yours. Nahru is enraged at you and predictably launches an all out assault bent on destroying you once and for all.

You hurriedly gather your troops at your capital. Due to your decision to postpone increasing your soldiers' pay, you can only put up a cursory defense.

General Nahru's troops tear through your capital, razing and destroying every symbol of power you have ever built.

Just as you hear from your remaining advisers that General Nahru has announced he will execute anyone who surrenders from your camp, you all die in an unannounced flurry of arrows.
