Chapter 254
In the following two months, the Tiger-Chasing forces steadily advanced on all fronts.
The Eastern Wilderness troops had fully withdrawn into the eastern territory and begun assembling in the Northern Direction.
The Third Prince in the northwest had been observing like a fisherman awaiting the outcome of a clamshell-sandpiper struggle, hoping to profit from others’ conflicts.
He never expected both sides to be all thunder and no rain.
The full-frontal clash lasted merely half a month before the Eastern Wilderness initiated complete withdrawal.
Not only did this yield no advantages, but he also lost a sliver of territory in the southern region.
He could accept this outcome – that barren desert in the south held no resources anyway, making its loss to Tiger-Chasing irrelevant.
"That idiot Seventh Prince! I always warned Tiger-Chasing would stir trouble. Sigh~ Fools ignore wise counsel and reap what they sow~"
As Tiger-Chasing’s forces swept forward, declaring the Seventh Prince’s regime dissolved, the Third Prince privately rejoiced.
