As of Emperor Titus Medes II laid dead on his own ship, I started to question whether the Empire can still last without the Emperor, the Legion cannot hold longer against the Thalmor if without a govenmenting force. But as above insisted, Ulfric isn't entirely fighting for Skyrim, he instead took the throne for his own sake. Both factions aren't good for me. However Ulfric's men are seemly good and willing to stand against the Thalmor instead of living under them, for non-Nordic races, they can always earn respect from the local if they're willing to work through hardship.

Somehow I'm still in doubt for both, but what if the Listener actively helped the Stormcloak against the Thalmor after the Empire's demise, and having a contract put above Elenwen's head, would they have a chance against the Thalmor?

P.S. Back then, the Stormcloak Soldier helped me so many times way more than the Imperial during my path toward the Listener, they helped me on dispatching Commander Maro, taken out the Wedding witnesses and overthrown Ondolemar into Hall of the Dead, even when Ulfric isn't entirely right, his men would set Skyrim right I believe? While the Imperial Legion is the one who pushed me into the headsman's axe, Battle Born siding with the Thalmor, the Empire simply acted like a group of wretches. There's really no other options for me other than joinning Ulfric back then.
