The actions of the Rock Drop kingdom came as a shock to Lin Mu and the others.
"They conquered the Ring Mist Kingdom? How's that even possible?" this time it was Crown Prince Feng Shun that asked.
He knew a bit about the Eight Kingdom alliance as well as where their relative strengths laid. Thus he knew that while the Ring mist Kingdom might have lost their powerhouse, it still didn't make sense for the Rock Drop Kingdom to be able to do that.
At the very least, they wouldn't be able to do it silently. They might still have their own powerhouse, but that didn't mean that it would be enough to overwhelm an entire kingdom in one go.
