Still, the Dominion had just lost an entire army. Not took losses then retreated: decimated to the last. Not only that, the Dominion had thought the Empire defeated, then the Red Ring happened: just as the Empire had now way of knowing what the Dominion had left, the reverse was true also. Status quo ante bellum would have been the better choice.

Either way the Dominion's going to attack again, but now the Empire has to have a go at it considerably weaker than they would have been had Mede not conceeded. Luckily he's dead now, I hope the new Emperor is made of sterner stuff.
