Duchy of Sears.

The Duchy of Sears is located in the south of the Heaven Dou Empire, with an area roughly the size of a province in the Heaven Dou Empire, and its location is very important because it is connected to the Heaven Dou Empire to the north and the Wuhun Hall to the south.

At that time, when the mainland was still in the Warring States Period, the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Sears was still an ordinary merchant, although he was rich in the world, but he was terrified in troubled times.

So the Grand Duke of Sears bet on the heroes at that time, and was impressed by it in a contact with the Heaven Dou Emperor, and used all his wealth to support the first emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

With the change of the sun and the moon, there are only two giants left on the continent, that is, the current Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, but compared to the Star Luo Empire in the south, the Heaven Dou Empire has declined badly, and it is at a disadvantage in many encounters with the Star Luo Empire.

And the current Grand Duke of Sears is no longer the Grand Duke of Sears of the past, and he naturally has no loyalty to the Heaven Dou Empire, but is ambitious and bent on breaking away from the control of the Heaven Dou Empire.

In the north of the bustling city of Sears, there is a continuous palace complex, extremely luxurious and beautiful, pure white walls, golden domes, noble with a touch of elegance, this is where the palace of the Grand Duke of Sears is located.

"As long as the Wuhun Hall can win, according to the original agreement, my Duchy of Sears can obtain at least one provincial land, and at that time, the title of my Grand Duke of Sears can also be changed to King Sears."

In a large hall deep in the palace, a handsome-looking man looked at the map on the wall and whispered.

"But...... What should I do with the Heaven Dou Empire? ”

A noble lady holding a plate happened to come in from outside the door, and when she heard the man's muttering, she couldn't help frowning, and said with some concern.

The handsome young man was the current Grand Duke of the Duchy of Sears, and the noblewoman was his wife, Princess Sofina.

Grand Duke Sears's brows also frowned slightly, and then quickly let go, and said calmly: "The Heaven Dou Empire is now too busy to take care of itself, where is there time to care about us, and even if they come, what is there to fear about my Sears Principality?" Behind us, standing is the Martial Spirit Palace. ”

At the end, Archduke Sears couldn't help but smile on his face. In the face of the powerful Martial Spirit Palace, who else on this continent can compete with them?

Gently placing the plate on the table, Princess Sofina felt panicked, as if something big was about to happen.

"But ......"

"Nothing."

The Grand Duke of Sears scolded Princess Sofina dissatisfiedly, glanced at her and turned his head, if he hadn't wanted to use her family power to ascend to the throne of the Grand Duke, he would definitely not have married her.

Not only sentimental, but also incomprehensible.

Princess Sofina was silent, she had seen his true face soon after the Archduke Sears ascended the throne, so she had always listened and watched less in the palace, but this time she really felt terrified.

Not long ago, the Heaven Dou Empire had retaliated against the Qinshan Sect in the Soto Kingdom, the huge sect collapsed in an instant, and even the sect master who was the Title Douluo was killed by the famous Thunder Douluo, how could he be sure that the Heaven Dou Empire would not make a move against the Sears Principality?

Princess Sofina's words made the Grand Duke Sears feel a little uneasy, and this feeling made him very annoying, and he shaved Princess Sofina fiercely, with a look of disgust in his eyes.

"Damn it!" He muttered dissatisfiedly.

But he didn't dare to do anything to Princess Sofina, the Duchy of Sears fell to the Spirit Hall by his own force, such an act had caused dissatisfaction among some ministers, if he lost the support of Princess Sofina's father, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, then he didn't dare to guarantee that the Duchy of Sears would still stand with him.

But at this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the palace: "Report! Grand Duke, there is an urgent letter! ”

Grand Duke Sears's heart suddenly suddenly, and he subconsciously glanced at the frowning Princess Sofina, and then gritted his teeth and said to the door: "Present it." ”

The guards outside the door presented an urgent letter, and then slowly retreated.

Archduke Sears took a deep breath, then removed the fire paint from it and looked at it seriously.

As the contents of the letter paper slowly came into his eyes, his face became more and more difficult to see, his chest continued to rise and fall, and finally his face was hideous, and even the hands of those letters were trembling slightly.

"What happened?"

The sound of a mosquito moaning came from the side, and the Grand Duke of Sears turned his head to look over.

The hideous face startled Princess Sofina and made her exclaim, and the Grand Duke of Sears came back to his senses when he saw this, and his whole body was like a deflated ball, and all his spirit was discharged.

"You're right...... The Heaven Dou Empire really attacked. ”

Grand Duke Sears said dejectedly, his eyes were a little confused, he didn't know why the Heaven Dou Empire wanted to attack his Sears Principality, although the Sears Principality betrayed the Heaven Dou Empire, but it was the Martial Spirit Hall that invaded the land of the Heaven Dou Empire, and in the face of the Martial Spirit Palace, the Heaven Dou Empire dared to take the initiative to attack?

He couldn't figure it out, but what he knew was that it was absolutely impossible for the power of the Principality of Sears to resist the army of the Heaven Dou Empire, just as the intelligence said.

……

At the end of the month of September in the golden autumn, a major event happened on the Douluo Continent, which attracted everyone's attention.

The Heaven Dou Empire suddenly attacked the former vassal Principality of Sears, and 100,000 troops marched together to take the three cities of the Principality of Sears in one day with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Douluo Continent.

At the same time, at the border of the Star Luo Empire's Chen Bing Martial Spirit Palace, two opponents who had been fighting for hundreds of years seemed to suddenly shake hands and make peace, cheering for the Heaven Dou Empire.

The inhabitants of the entire continent were in a state of panic, and they had a premonition that perhaps the real war was coming.

The inhabitants of the Duchy of Sears and the Kingdom of Soto were terrified for fear of the Heaven Dou Empire's mass slaughter, while the inhabitants of the other kingdoms and principalities prayed that the smoke of war would not reach their side.

The night was sleepless, and in the midst of the palaces, the Grand Dukes and Kings paced and pondered their way out, and it was not uncommon for them to lose the few hairs left on their heads when they were restless.

In the Wuhun Palace, Bibi Dong's expression became more and more indifferent, his eyes looked at the prostrate cardinal below, waved his hand, and said coldly: "From tomorrow, the army will start!" ”

"Yes!"
