With the Empire's approval, the territory began to declare all-out war on the Kingdom of Hanhai under the name of the City of Mountains.
Just as Du You and others had speculated, the Kingdom of Hanhai worried that this was a scheme by the Divine Flame Empire. They fully believed that it was the Divine Flame Empire using the name of the City of Mountains to intentionally weaken them.
