The AD used deceit to force Mede to sign th WCG. They are real life examples, similar to how Japan conquered some countries in WW2 by trickery e.g. They tricked The British to give up Singapore even though both sides were extremely tired and the Brits would have won if they persevered. Mede himself could have pulled a Leonidas and martyred himself by crushing, or attempting to completely wipe out the AD army, which would lead to a huge psychological victory, even if the physical battle was lost, as that would have made the AD think twice. But he was no hero, he was a coward. I did write on a similar thread on how Mede could have done as a good emperor - either take the WCG the first time, then scheme, he'll be no hero, but still respected, or fight to the very last and die a nord death, then he'll be the greatest inspiration. Bending after fighting only shows cowardice and weakness
