Northern region of Dayan Empire, Pingyang City.
This place is adjacent to the border of Yun Hao Empire, so it is grander compared to other cities.
On the towering city walls, there are always martial arts experts serving as soldiers, practicing at all times.
Their imaginary enemy is the Yun Hao Empire.
The Yun Hao Empire is the suzerain state of Dayan Empire.
Due to the vast disparity in strength between the two, Dayan Empire can only pay a large tribute every year, begging for tranquility and peace, like protection money.
Such oppression exists among all empires and vassal states in the Eastern Extreme Domain.
So whether it is a vassal state or an empire, they are very clear about one thing.
What vassal states desire most is to break free from the control of the empire and become a high-standing empire themselves.
And what empires desire most is to forever suppress the vassal states, ensuring they never rise above.
