The first month of the New Year passed quickly.
In this first month of the new year, Lu Yuan still hadn't received any news from the Dan Ding Path.
It seemed that this major Daoist sect had indeed chosen, as he had guessed, to swallow their resentment and remain silent, not sending anyone for revenge.
While there was no movement on their side, news from the alliance had been coming in continuously as the first month came to an end.
First, it was news from Ning Country.
Near the end of the first month, the intelligence from that side finally arrived after several transfers.
At the end of last year, after resolving the domestic rebellion, Su King Su Xuange, despite the country still recovering from the chaos, made a decisive decision to send troops to conquer the southwestern barbarians.
This time, Su Country mobilized a total of 30,000 forbidden army soldiers, 30,000 county soldiers, and 40,000 militia, suddenly attacking Dali Country along Yulin County and Shi'an Mansion.
