Chapter 124
Starlight Calendar 1254, the month of Scrolls (August).
The Duke of Hulan was killed in his ducal mansion.
The entire family was wiped out overnight.
The news spread, causing a commotion among the upper echelons of the Principality of Starsea.
The nobles from the royal lineage were all apprehensive, fearing that they might be assassinated by Su Nan in their sleep.
The Hulan Province also fell into a state of leaderlessness due to the death of the Duke of Hulan and the extermination of his entire line of inheritance.
Taking this opportunity, Baron Staley, stationed in Gold Wheat City, led his troops north, capturing four towns in a row, including Yayan City, in just half a month, advancing like a broken bamboo.
If not for the fact that most of the Shining Light Territory’s troops were in the other two provinces, and Baron Staley’s army was not large enough, he alone might have been able to conquer the entire Hulan Province.
In the same year, the month of Harvest (September).
