"That's not surprising.
Before I went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield,
the Faruleong Republic had been taking advantage of the turmoil within the Seaton Duchy
to keep annexing the surrounding small nations.
It looks like the Faruleong Republic's continued rise
has put the Seaton Duchy on alert.
By the way, if they're able to launch a war against another country,
does that mean the turmoil within the Seaton Duchy has ended?"
The current Grand Duke of the Seaton Duchy
had used rather underhanded methods to seize power.
On top of that, the Seaton Duchy had a relatively loose feudal system.
For the past few years,
the Grand Duke Seaton and the local nobles had been locked in a fierce struggle.
This had directly led to instability within the Seaton Duchy.
"Not at all.

Another reason was that a handful of enlightened nobles within the Seaton Duchy wanted to divert domestic tensions, and this was their way of doing it."
Lin Xiaogui explained.
Wang Dong gave a quiet "mm."
The Black Stone Duchy hadn't paid much attention to intelligence about the Seaton Duchy.

It would be the starfield on the other side of the Cosmic Void Belt, where the Oda Shogunate and Shannan Kingdom were located.
That was where there was more room to grow.
And where the entrance to
the Dead Sea Star Abyss lay!
"How's the war going?"
Wang Dong asked with interest.
As a neighboring country of the Seaton Duchy, with a decent history of diplomatic relations between them,
the Purple Thorn Kingdom would surely have a good deal of relevant intelligence, and Lin Xiaogui would
