The next day.
News of the Sun Moon Empire declaring war on the Star Luo Empire instantly exploded across the people of both continents.
The people of the Sun Moon Empire had not been away from war for long, and they showed little reaction to going to war with the Star Luo Empire. Instead, they were filled with fervor.
After accomplishing the great feat of unifying the continent, the Sun Moon Empire was more united than ever. Now that the Star Luo Empire dared to provoke them, then they would fight—fight until it surrendered, until it was destroyed.
Compared to the fervor throughout the Sun Moon Empire, the many forces on the Douluo Continent that received the news were utterly baffled. How had war suddenly broken out for no reason?
Soon afterward, countless small and mid-sized forces withdrew their outlying holdings, afraid of being caught in the conflict.
That night.
Star Luo Empire, inside the imperial palace of Star Luo City.
"Bastards! The Sun Moon Empire has no shame at all! They actually accused us of secretly slaughtering their soldiers. Were the three thousand soldiers we lost before not human lives?"
Dai Tianfeng, the current emperor of Star Luo, looked at the information laid out on the table, his expression exceedingly ugly. Though he tried his best to suppress his turbulent emotions, he still slammed a palm viciously onto the expensive tabletop.
With a bang, the table worth one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins shattered on the spot.
"Your Majesty, the Sun Moon Empire likely intended to start a war long ago. Even without this excuse, they would have found another." Zhu Changwen, head of the Zhu Family, stood below and cupped his hands as he spoke to the enraged Dai Tianfeng.
At that, Dai Tianfeng's face turned even greener.
