Sakamimir Valley was located in the center of the seven grand duchies. The seven grand duchies would secretly meet here. Although the seven grand duchies had the intention of joining forces to deal with Brettel City, none of the dukes dared to visit the other duchies due to their mutual suspicions.
Therefore, the seven grand dukes gathered their armies at Sakamimir Valley. The majority of the troops were temporarily stationed in the plains outside the valley. The seven grand dukes gathered in the valley with their elite experts.
Tanai, Mount Sakamimir, was covered in flowers and ancient trees. Under the warm sunlight, a simple tent was set up in the middle of the valley, next to a small stream. Within the spacious tent, the seven grand dukes were secretly discussing something with their experts.
The tent was densely guarded by knights. The tent was covered in layers of magical boundaries. With the seven grand dukes gathered in the tent, any mishap would be a fatal blow to the seven grand duchies.
The seven grand dukes were debating endlessly inside the tent. The main points of their argument were about the command of the allied forces and their battle strategy, including the distribution of the spoils of war. The seven grand dukes had been locked in a fierce battle before this. Even though they had gathered here for the sake of Brettel City, the anger on the battlefield had yet to subside. Naturally, the dukes who were originally enemies didn't have any good expressions on their faces.
Helen Tina of Helon Duchy had been in an extremely irritable mood recently. She was no longer as glamorous as before, and had obviously become more haggard.
The news that she'd been raped by Han Shuo had inadvertently spread throughout the seven grand duchies. This caused Helen Tina to become the target of ridicule overnight. Everyone looked at her with strange gazes, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Grand Duke of Narsen Duchy, Benedict Sackville, who used to be her staunch ally, had stopped communicating with her ever since he heard the news. Now that they had truly met in this place, Benedict Sackville only greeted her politely and didn't have his previous attentiveness.
Helen Tina understood where the problem lay. However, she had indeed been captured alive by Han Shuo and brought to Brettel City. She'd even been locked up for several days. This fact made it impossible for her to explain herself. The haughty Helen Tina had been tormented by strange gazes during this period of time. Even some citizens of the Helon Empire felt that the impure Helen Tina was no longer suitable for the position of grand duchess.
If it wasn't for Helen Tina's ruthless methods of killing several rebellious nobles in succession, it was likely that she wouldn't have been able to maintain her position in the Helon Duchy. Now that they had arrived at the meeting point between the seven duchies, Helen Tina had once again become the object of neglect.
At this moment, Benedict Sackville was quarrelling with Bavenden Duchy's Alec Ambridge. The topic of their quarrel was actually the distribution of the spoils of war. Alec Ambridge had his eyes set on the six magic crystal cannons worth six hundred thousand gold coins in Brettel City. He was determined to obtain them.
These six magic crystal cannons had originally been purchased by Benedict Sackville from the distant Brut Merchant Alliance for Helen Tina through his own channels. Benedict Sackville had taken it for granted that these six magic crystal cannons should belong to him. He didn't back down in the slightest as he argued with Alec Ambridge.
All of a sudden, Helen Tina, the person who'd paid six hundred thousand gold coins to purchase the six magic crystal cannons from the Brut Merchant Alliance, had been forgotten. Benedict Sackville, the modest gentleman who'd previously disregarded everything to pursue her, had now become the one who'd directly plundered her interests.
Helen Tina coldly watched the dispute between the six grand dukes, feeling increasingly irritated in her heart. Unconsciously, Helen Tina actually thought of Han Shuo. She'd deeply experienced Han Shuo's ruthlessness. She didn't know why, but Helen Tina faintly felt that these six men who were endlessly arguing in front of her didn't seem like real men.
On the contrary, the image of Brettel City's lord, whose eyes were filled with a fiendish and ruthless rage, had appeared in her mind from time to time. She always felt that the six grand dukes in front of her were no match for the ruthless city lord of Brettel City.
Brettel City's population didn't even reach a hundred thousand. Not to mention the other six duchies, even Helon Duchy's military strength was more than enough to compete with Brettel City. Now that the allied forces of the seven grand duchies were planning to march into Brettel City, Helen Tina actually had the laughable thought that the allied forces would fail. Even she herself felt that this was a bit absurd.
"Duke Helen, what do you want from Brettel City?" Randi Allard, the Grand Duke of the Bonton Duchy, leaned against Helen Tina and looked at the silent statue-like Helen Tina as he asked politely.
Helen Tina was roused from her contemplation. She calmed her heart and thought for a while before saying softly, "I only want the life of the city lord of Brettel City. However, I don't know why, but I feel that it won't be so easy for us to win."
"Haha, Grand Duke Helen, you must be too tired recently. With the allied forces of our seven grand duchies, we easily routed the Lancelot Empire's army that had been soaring to the heavens. You want to stop our advance with just that shabby Brettel City? That's just too laughable! I think that Grand Duke Helen's courage must have been broken after being captured by that city lord, right? " Alec Ambridge suddenly butted in after hearing the conversation. He didn't hide his contempt for Helen Tina at all as he laughed and ridiculed her.
At this moment, Benedict Sackville, who was supposed to speak up for Helen Tina, had just been arguing with Alec Ambridge until his face was flushed with anger. But now, he suddenly turned silent and slowly nodded his head, as if agreeing with the argument of someone who had just been an enemy.
Helen Tina only felt a chill in her heart. She looked at the man in front of her who had once said that he would take care of her for the rest of his life. She suddenly had the urge to laugh.
"I'm a bit tired. You guys continue your discussion." Helen Tina stood up wearily and said a few words to the six grand dukes. She then walked out alone.
None of the six grand dukes tried to keep Helen Tina. After she left, Alec Ambridge said in a disdainful tone, "It looks like this woman has been conquered by the new city lord's skills in bed. She can't even see the situation clearly. Heh heh, I really don't understand why such a fool wouldn't let go of such a woman in the first place."
"Who are you talking about?" Benedict Sackville flew into a rage. To Benedict Sackville, the matter of him crazily chasing after Helen Tina had already become the greatest humiliation of his life. If anyone offended him in this regard, he would relentlessly pursue the matter.
"Heh heh, it's nothing, it's nothing!" Seeing Benedict Sackville fly into a rage, Alec Ambridge, who hadn't been able to suppress him regarding the ownership of the magic crystal cannons, suddenly felt a lot more carefree in his heart.
On the plains outside the valley, Helen Tina returned with a gloomy face inside a tent where the Helon Duchy's army was stationed. Her heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Helen, why are you unhappy again?" The super rank magical beast called Fire Phoenix had transformed into a beautiful woman dressed in red. She poured a cup of tea for Helen Tina in the tent and handed it to her.
"Sister Firewind, is a woman's body really that important? Why is it that after I returned from Brettel City, it seems like everyone is making life difficult for me?" Helen Tina sighed softly and asked Firewind.
"Helen, why would you say that? That Brian didn't do anything to you. He only extorted a million gold coins from you." Firewind looked at Helen Tina in astonishment and asked in puzzlement.
Putting down the cup of tea that Firewind had given her, Helen Tina sighed again and said in annoyance, "But everyone thinks that it happened. I have no way of explaining it."
"Who cares about those mediocre people? It's fine as long as you know in your heart that it didn't happen. Why bother so much?" Firewind continued to persuade Helen Tina, "It's just that that person is too strong. Otherwise, I would've helped you kill him long ago."
"Please don't. He's not someone we can handle. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allied with the seven duchies." Helen Tina was startled and hastily persuaded Firewind not to be impulsive. She then shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Sometimes I think that maybe I really was raped by that person. Maybe he would take care of me. Unfortunately, I know that's impossible."
"How can you think like that? He is your greatest enemy. Not only did you extort a million gold coins from him, but you also released such a sinister message. We must kill him, otherwise it will be difficult to wash away your innocence." Flamephoenix said hatefully. "How can you think like that?
Sighing once again, Helen Tina helplessly said, "Even if I kill him, I won't be able to clear my name. Not only is this Brettel City lord sinister enough, his strength is also extraordinarily terrifying. I don't know why, but I always feel like he's beside me. It seems that my mind is really a bit muddled."
Looking at Helen Tina's fretful and worried face, Firewind also sighed in her heart. She really didn't know how to comfort her.
Ever since returning from Brettel City, Helen Tina had always faced the doubts and mockery of everyone. Originally, Helen Tina was a goddess-like existence in Helon Duchy, but now she'd become the subject of discussion among the citizens. Having been suddenly thrown down from her high position as a goddess, Helen Tina simply couldn't adapt to this kind of change. The smile on her face became fewer and fewer, and her entire being was tormented by worry to the point where she couldn't bear it.
It's all that Brian's fault. I must help Helen kill him! Firewind thought to herself.

On a mound five thousand meters away from Helen Tina's tent, Han Shuo clearly heard the conversation in Helen Tina's tent through a yin demon.
"This woman still owes me six hundred thousand gold coins. Looking at the days, it's about time she pays me back." Han Shuo muttered to himself. He turned his head and glanced in Helen Tina's direction, then snuck towards Sakamimir Valley.
A yin demon gradually returned from Helen Tina's tent and headed towards Sakamimir Valley with Han Shuo. When they were about to reach the central tent, Han Shuo hid himself deep in the ground that the earth elite zombie had opened up. He only used the yin demon to spy on the tent in the center of the area.
The grand dukes of the six grand duchies were all inside. They'd spared no effort in setting up the security of the tent. All kinds of magical boundaries had been set up densely. Han Shuo used the yin demon to spy on the area for a long time, but discovered that he couldn't approach the area without making a sound.
It looks like I'll have to wait for them to leave. These fellows' defenses are really tight. There are enough boundaries in the sky and on the ground, and there's the army of the seven grand duchies stationed around. Even the undead army can't destroy them. They're really a bunch of cowards. Han Shuo thought inwardly. He used the yin demon to spy on the area, but he himself remained deep underground and didn't move an inch.
After about an hour and a half, the six dukes walked out of the tent one after another. All of them had dissatisfied expressions on their faces. It looked like the discussion this time hadn't come to a conclusion. The operation to deal with Brettel City would be delayed for another day or two. They would only be able to proceed after they'd arranged everything properly.
The six dukes were all protected by experts. They'd brought the experts of their respective duchies here for fear of being ambushed. Every duke was protected by an expert with a powerful aura.
In fact, these dukes would indeed take advantage of the opportunity to harm others. This kind of situation had happened from time to time when the seven grand duchies had held some sort of conference in the past. It was precisely because of this that they'd been so careful.
Han Shuo hid deep underground, not in a hurry to make a move on anyone. He waited until they'd all left the valley. Only when night had fallen did he slowly move in a certain direction. That area was where Duke Alec Ambridge's army of Bavenden Duchy was stationed.
In the dead of night, it was the most appropriate time for some dishonorable things to be carried out.
Duke Alec Ambridge did not forget to indulge in the meeting here. In a luxurious tent in the center of the hall, Duke Alec Ambridge pressed a tall female knight on the table, and from behind, he conquered this female knight who was wearing a formal knight's armor. Only her buttocks were exposed, and it was perked up high.
The female knight lay on the table, panting and moaning softly. She swayed her plump buttocks, coordinating with Grand Duke Alec Ambridge's subduing movements. Her fine black hair spread out to cover her face.
There were actually two sinister-looking men in Alec Ambridge's tent. The two men turned a blind eye to Alec Ambridge's debauchery, indifferently gripping the longswords in their hands as they vigilantly guarded their surroundings. They were both at the level of great swordmaster.
Alec Ambridge let out a loud cheer. When the pleasure spread from his lower abdomen to his entire body, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shake to a greater extent.
However, Alec Ambridge didn't pay too much attention to the changes in the soles of his feet due to the brief dizziness he felt when a piercing pain came from the soles of his feet. Only then did Alec Ambridge shout in alarm. He grabbed the female knight that was still pressed down by him and dragged her towards the soles of his feet.
"Puff …"
The sharp weapon pierced through the body of the female knight who had just recovered from her orgasm. Her mythril armor, which was known for its sturdiness, was penetrated along with her body. The sharp edge of the weapon continued to stab upwards without diminishing its might.
Alec Ambridge, who was scared out of his wits, felt a chill in his chest. Ignoring the tearing pain in his left foot, he limped towards the outside of the tent and shouted, "Assassin! There's an assassin!"
The two sinister-looking great swordmasters in the tent had already rushed over the moment he had used the female knight as a meat shield. Two dazzling silver rays of light fell unceremoniously on the female knight who hadn't completely died yet.
The silver sword rays instantly tore the female knight apart. The two rudely tossed the body of the female knight, which was riddled with holes, to the side, and cautiously looked at the dark hole below. This hole was only the size of a person's arm. It seemed that the attack had come from that arm-sized hole.
"Damn it, wasn't there a Rock Barrier underground? How could someone still be able to attack me?" Alec Ambridge's left foot was badly mangled. He furrowed his brows and said, "Fortunately, I reacted in time. Otherwise, I would have died here today. That damned earth mage dared to slack off. I'm going to kill him!"
"Your Grace, the Rock Barrier underground is still there. It's just that the strength of the enemy is too strong. The power of his weapon had exceeded the endurance of the Rock Barrier. This person is definitely not an ordinary expert. Fortunately, Your Grace is fine. I wonder who it is that wants Your Grace's life? "One of the sinister-looking great swordmasters said with a gloomy face.
"Who else could it be? It must be that damned Benedict Sackville. I only mocked him a bit today, but he actually sent people to attack me in the middle of the night. This guy really deserves to die." Alec Ambridge shouted with a gloomy face. He then shouted towards the outside of the tent, "Priest! Damned priest! Hurry up and come over! One of my legs is about to be crippled! I've spent so many gold coins on you guys, why can't you hurry up at the most crucial moment!?"
While Alec Ambridge was shouting and yelling, Han Shuo, who'd missed his first strike, quietly left. Even the tunnel formed by the earth elite zombie was blocked once again.
Han Shuo had tried to directly kill Alec Ambridge, but he hadn't expected that this person would be so merciless. At the most crucial moment, he'd actually used the female knight he'd just had fun with to block a fatal blow. Fortunately, Han Shuo had heard Alec Ambridge's suspicions and jealousy towards Benedict Sackville through the yin demons as he left. Han Shuo felt that his goal had been achieved, so he didn't recklessly attack again.
