Chapter 574 - 291: Beauty, wound!
The Night Orchid Duchy, located southwest of the Rage Wave Kingdom.
In the entire Human World, it was one of the powers just below the four great kingdoms.
But tragically, as it was sandwiched between the Flame Empire, the Rage Wave Kingdom, and the Xiliang Kingdom, it never saw an opportunity for expansion. At present, the duchy had reached its greatest extent of development.
Fortunately, because it was situated between these three great powers, it also hadn’t been swallowed up.
Originally, the Night Orchid Duchy had four provinces, but later one was seized by the treacherous Ashi Clan, leaving only three provinces.
Twenty years ago, Rou Ran City was still just a part of the Night Orchid Duchy, with Ashimo serving as the governor of Rou Ran Province.
However, for some unknown reason, Ashimo suddenly rebelled against the Night Orchid Duchy. At the time, although he was the governor of Rou Ran Province, only his own core troops joined him in the rebellion, merely a quarter of the province’s territory.
Twenty years ago, the Night Orchid Duchy dispatched an army of three hundred thousand soldiers to quell the rebellion, while Ashimo had only a little over twenty thousand at his disposal.
With no other choice, Ashimo sought help from the Rage Wave Kingdom and pledged his allegiance to the Zhi Family of the Rage Wave Kingdom.
At that time, King Quo Bian, who had just ascended the throne, sent Turing Tuo and Earl Suo Long with two separate armies to save Rou Ran City.
Turing Tuo led his army to attack the capital of the Night Orchid Duchy, while Earl Suo Long led his troops to lift the siege on Rou Ran City.
