Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the afternoon, Du Shaofu had thought that he would be able to hide in the Divine Marquis Manor with the Dark Wolf's presence. However, with the arrival of the general, Gu Xinyan, Ghost Child, Wu Que, and Guo Shaofeng, his thoughts of hiding in peace were dashed.
When the general and Gu Xinyan arrived, they first joked about the three words "Divine Marquis". In the end, they helplessly told Du Shaofu that they were all from their respective estates and hoped that they could represent their estates to congratulate him.
With their relationship, no one mentioned any pleasantries. After all, none of them were the type to speak pleasantries.
After some banter, a total of seven people, including Ouyang Shuang, sat in the hall.
Du Xiaoqing and Du Xiaoyao were nowhere to be seen. Du Xiaoqing was naturally not interested in such an occasion.
"The Kingdom War is the day after tomorrow. I don't know how it will turn out. I hope we don't become the sinners of the empire."
The general sighed. A rare solemn expression appeared on his chiseled face.
"Kingdom War? What's a Kingdom War?" Du Shaofu was curious. He didn't know anything about the Kingdom War.
"You really don't know?"
Wu Que looked at Du Shaofu suspiciously. The entire imperial capital, Dragon City, was abuzz with the news these days. The entire empire was paying attention to it. How could this fellow, who was still in the imperial capital, not know about it?
"He probably really doesn't know."
Ouyang Shuang replied to Wu Que. She then said to Du Shaofu, "It's the battle between the younger generation of the Stone Dragon Empire and the Tianhu Empire. However, the wager for this battle is ten prefectures. If our Stone Dragon Empire loses, we have to hand over ten prefectures to the Tianhu Empire unconditionally."
"Ten prefectures? Isn't that a little too much?"
Du Shaofu was surprised. In the empire, there were prefectures above a city, prefectures above a prefecture, and prefectures above a prefecture were directly under the empire's control.
According to Du Shaofu's knowledge, the Stone Dragon Empire currently had a total of 365 prefectures. Rumor had it that the 365 prefectures of the empire were all abnormally powerful. Each prefectural prefectural prefectural lord was equivalent to a feudal lord of a region. Under each mansion, there were hundreds of counties. Under each county, there were dozens of cities of varying sizes.
A 'prefecture' was definitely extremely large and had countless people. Ten prefectures were equivalent to thousands of counties and tens of thousands of small cities. How enormous was that?
Du Shaofu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the wager for the younger generation of the Empire was ten prefectures.
Last night, Du Shaofu remembered that Emperor Cheng had mentioned the Tianhu Empire to him. When his master's Revered Weapon Cave Abode opened, people from the Tianhu Empire had appeared in the Dark Forest. He had killed a few of them, including the Palace Lord of the Tianhu Empire.
Therefore, Du Shaofu didn't have a good impression of the people from the Tianhu Empire.
After Du Shaofu asked, Du Shaofu found out about the wager for the younger generation of the two empires. The wager for the younger generation of the two empires was ten prefectures. Therefore, it was called a Kingdom War by the outside world.
It was said that the Stone Dragon Empire and the Tianhu Empire had always had a lot of grudges between them. This grudge originated from the friction between the two empires' borders. The friction between the two empires had been going back and forth for a long time. Naturally, the grudges between the two empires became deeper and deeper. In the end, the grudges between the two empires couldn't be suppressed. There were many fierce battles between the two empires on the border.
However, in terms of imperial strength, the Tianhu Empire was much stronger than the Stone Dragon Empire. However, the Tianhu Empire seemed to have some misgivings, so the two empires didn't go to war.
After several rounds of negotiations between the empires, the two empires finally came to a tacit agreement. The wager for the younger generation of both empires would be ten prefectures. It could be considered as a way to resolve the conflict between the two empires.
Whether it was the Stone Dragon Empire or the Tianhu Empire, it was likely that both empires wanted to take advantage of this duel between the younger generation to properly assess each other's strength.
After the final victory and defeat of both empires, the winner's morale would be greatly boosted while the loser would inevitably be negatively affected.
This time, General Dian Shanhe, Ling Xuan, Jade Maiden, Gu Xinyan, and the others hurried back from the academy because they were urged by the king's mansion behind them. This was because they had to prepare for the Kingdom War in the imperial capital. They represented the peak of the younger generation of the Stone Dragon Empire.
"The Tianhu Empire is backed by the Sky Snake Sect. It's a huge force and is one of the top ten first-rate forces in the Central Plains. However, the Stone Dragon Empire only has the Tianwu Academy behind them. It's said that the Tianwu Academy is no longer what it used to be. In the past, countless young experts came out of the Tianwu Academy. Each of them was able to dominate the Central Plains and shock the entire continent. However, for some reason, the Tianwu Academy gradually declined.
Thus, they … "Ghost Child sighed and said," It's said that the younger generation of the Tianhu Empire will be coming this time. There are experts from the Sky Snake Sect among the top ten first-rate forces in the Central Plains. Their strength is unimaginable. They are the peak existences among their peers in the Central Plains. "
"The Sky Snake Sect."
Upon hearing this, Du Shaofu's expression changed slightly. When he was in the Barbaric Beast Mountain Range, he had fought with the Sky Snake Sect. Du Shaofu had a deep impression of an expert from the Sky Snake Sect who attacked him. However, he was intimidated by the mysterious beautiful woman who held him hostage. Later on, he met Zhu Xue of the Profound Talisman Sect and Lin Boguang of the Profound Underworld Sect. He even fought with Lu Kun of the Sky Snake Sect.
"You also know about the Sky Snake Sect?"
Ouyang Shuang asked as she looked at Du Shaofu in confusion. She knew Du Shaofu the best. He had left the stone city and didn't know much about the outside world. It wasn't easy for him to know about the Sky Snake Sect.
"I've only heard about it."
Du Shaofu had only heard about the Sky Snake Sect from Zhu Xue, Lin Boguang, and the others. He didn't know much about it. He didn't know that the Sky Snake Sect was one of the top ten first-rate forces in the Central Region.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan seemed to want to know more about the origin of the Sky Snake Sect from Du Shaofu. She said, "The Sky Snake Sect is one of the top ten first-rate forces in the Central Region. It is rumored that the experts in the sect are as numerous as the clouds. Every one of them has an exceedingly high cultivation and strength, and they own many empires. Perhaps the Stone Dragon Empire is just a drop in the ocean in the eyes of the Sky Snake Sect. However, every disciple from the top ten first-rate forces is incomparably powerful. Moreover, there are many outstanding talents who can shake the heavens and earth as soon as they step out of the sect. Their names resound throughout the world! "
After Du Shaofu heard Gu Xinyan's words, he asked Gui Wa, Wu Que, and the others, "Will you be participating in the duel the day after tomorrow?"
"We don't have the qualifications to participate. There will be a total of five people in the duel tomorrow. Only the general and Gu Xinyan from the Tianwu Academy will be participating. This is also because we have the backing of the king's residence. The academy will never interfere in this kind of matter.
As for the other three, one of them is the eldest princess, Cheng Sheng-nan. Her status in the Divine Light Court is not low. It is rumored that her cultivation and talent are extremely terrifying. She shouldn't be below Du Yi, but she has been hiding it very deeply. The other two are Du Yi and Du Qiang from the King's residence. However, Du Yi has already been defeated by you. I'm afraid that the duel the day after tomorrow will be even more disadvantageous for us. " Guo Shaofeng said to Du Shaofu. When he mentioned Du Yi, he couldn't help but look at Du Shaofu helplessly.
"How can the eldest princess be from the Divine Light Court?" Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't have a good impression of the people from the Divine Light Court.
"It's a long story. Perhaps we don't know much, so we don't know how to explain it."
Ghost Child said, "Without a powerful force behind them, it's not easy for an empire to establish itself. Perhaps it's because the Tianwu Academy has been declining over the years and has never cared about the matters of the outside world. They also don't take orders from the imperial palace, so the imperial palace wanted to find another way out. Otherwise, not to mention the surrounding empires eyeing them covetously, even the Tianhu Empire wouldn't be able to deal with them. Therefore, back then, the eldest princess went to the Divine Light Court."
"Is the Divine Light Court also one of the top ten forces in the Central Region?" Du Shaofu asked curiously.
"Of course. The Divine Light Court, the Sky Snake Sect, the Mysterious Underworld Sect, and the Profound Talisman Sect are among the top ten forces in the Central Region. There are countless forces of various sizes in the Central Region, and experts are as common as clouds. However, the Divine Light Court, the Sky Snake Sect, the Mysterious Underworld Sect, and the Profound Talisman Sect are the top ten forces." Ghost Child said to Du Shaofu. Then, he looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Are you interested in the day after tomorrow? If you can replace Du Shaofu, our chances of winning will be much higher."
"It's more appropriate for me to go and take a look. I'm not interested in this."
Du Shaofu immediately shook his head and smiled. Then, he said to the general and Gu Xinyan, "When I'm free, I'll go and take a look at your glory."
After chatting about the Kingdom War between the Tianhu Empire and the Stone Dragon Empire, it was already dusk when the general and Gu Xinyan left.
After dusk, the Dark Wolf found Du Shaofu again. Accompanying him was another initial stage Martial Lord, who was also the current second-in-command of the Wolf Fang Escort Agency.
What surprised Du Shaofu was that the second-in-command of the Wolf Fang Escort Agency was actually a woman in her thirties. Her curves were alluring. Perhaps it was because she worked in the escort agency, her facial features were delicate, but her skin was wheat-colored. Her entire person exuded a kind of wild beauty, which was called a phantom.
"Thank you, Commander Maple Leaf Piaoling, for the reward of 100,000. "
