The city states dont have to worry about that anymore because guess what? anyone who disagrees with them points us at them and asks us to kill them..
So then I guess in the end, Garlemald got exactly what they wanted. You can't advocate a "live by the sword, die by the sword" philosophy and then cry foul when it's YOU that does the dying. Garlemald did what they wanted to do: wage war and rule by strength at all costs, even against their fellow Garleans.

Yeah, Garlemald didn't have the unstoppable super soldier to save the day, but not for lack of trying. Hell, Zenos was actually better than the WOL for most of the plot. But...whoops it turned out that he cared more about war than ruling, too.
