The marginal forest, located in the south of the Free Empire, stretches for hundreds of miles along the coastline in the south of the continent, the north is cut off by the Grand Canyon at an angle of 45 degrees, the northern part of the canyon is considered to be officially within the territory of the empire, the western part is blocked by the Himalayas, the eastern side is the town of Feiyan, where Harry is located, which belongs to the sphere of influence of Nantes City, and the southern part of the forest, where very few people have set foot there, only some peerless masters have explored it, but the ordinary people almost know about it.

Warcraft is roughly divided into three grades: primary Warcraft, with average strength, similar to ordinary beasts, but may master a small amount of auxiliary magic; Intermediate Warcraft, with strong strength and outstanding characteristics, master several very threatening medium magic, but most of them have certain shortcomings, such as the Demon Bear that Harry encountered before, speed is its biggest weakness, and ordinary middle-level warriors can at least run away calmly in front of it; Whether it's a strong attack, or a superior magic, in short, it's enough to make the human master vigilant.

Strictly speaking, the dragon is also a Warcraft, but because of its strength, perfect physical defense, and immunity to all magic make it at the top of the Warcraft level, and in the history of mankind, only the record win rate against the dragon is 0, and no matter how powerful other Warcraft is, the top masters in the human race can defeat it. And most dragons have their own separate habitats, so humans generally list dragons as a race alongside intelligent species such as monsters, humans, and 'spirits'.

Although the marginal forests cover hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the continent, don't think that it is full of demonic beasts, they divide their territories according to regions, and they are generally located in 'fertile', rich species, The places closer to the water source are mostly occupied by high-level Warcraft, and the relatively poor places are occupied by the Intermediate Warcraft; it is difficult for low-level Warcraft to have their own territory, most of them form teams to fight against the Mid-level Warcraft in their territory, and the Mid-level Warcraft are rarely willing to provoke groups of Warcraft, as long as the other party is not too excessive, they occasionally come to their side to beg for a living. There are also a small number of low-level magical beasts that rely on their own skills, maybe good at speed, maybe good at camouflage, maybe good at hiding and other methods to get food alone.

Therefore, there are a small number of medium-level Warcraft and some low-level Warcraft crawling in the outer area of the forest, and most of the places in the forest are middle-level Warcraft and a small number of low-level Warcraft, and in the middle area of the forest, high-level Warcraft and Intermediate-level Warcraft are dotted with territory, and low-level Warcraft rarely appear in this area, because if you are not careful, you will step into the territory of high-level Warcraft, and they will not be as polite as the Intermediate Warcraft to let you invade.

Warcraft don't sit idle and fight each other, but once a dispute occurs, it's basically a life-and-death war. The low-level and intermediate-level Warcraft are nothing more than fighting for territory and food, because of the relatively large number and the speed of reproduction, so once their numbers reach full capacity, large-scale conflicts will break out in the forest, which is called "Warcraft Battle" by humans......

The number of high-level Warcraft is generally very fixed, so there are few wars between each other for turf, in fact, many powerful mid-level Warcraft also occupy a lot of "treasure land" with rich species and water sources, so there is really no need to provoke an opponent equivalent to oneself for the territory. However, this does not mean that there will be no conflict between high-level magical beasts, once there are some 'treasures of heaven and earth' in the nearby realm, or one day a beast steps into the territory of another beast, or the two species themselves are natural mortal enemies, they will be broken in blood.

In the vast majority of cases, the Warcraft will not step out of the range of the marginal forest, because, firstly, there is no food, water and suitable environment for reproduction outside the forest; secondly, the Warcraft that step out of the forest will be rounded up and sniped by humans, and the lessons of thousands of years remind them not to run around; the last reason is that once they leave the occupied territory, they will immediately be occupied by other Warcraft, and if they want to take it back?

Last time, the demon bear walked out of the edge forest for some reason, and he couldn't go back for a while, but he was beaten by Harry and lost his left eye.

Compared to the monsters that do not step out of the edge forest, it is difficult for humans to step into it. Strange species always receive special attention in the forest, and it is undoubtedly very dangerous to walk in the edge forest without much ability, and I can't tell which monster will be dragged to study whether this thing is delicious in the ears or 'fat' in the buttocks.

There was a generation of rulers of the Free Empire who wanted to build palaces and took a fancy to the trees in the marginal forests, and sent tens of thousands of troops into the forest to cut down the forests despite dissuasion. As a result, including the high-level demonic beasts in the middle of the forest, all united to hate the enemy, and launched an unprecedented attack on the army, the human race lost 108 high-level warriors in this battle, of which 18 reached level 9, and the number of casualties could not be counted, and it was roughly estimated that at least 30,000 soldiers' bodies were left in the marginal forest forever, and at least 50,000 people who escaped had at least 50,000 arms or feet or some part of their body left in the forest and turned into 'fat'. After that, no one dared to invade the edge forest, except for a few masters who went in to find treasures or hone their strength to enter the forest, the entire forest was basically the world of Warcraft.

In addition to Warcraft, the edge forest is also rich in all kinds of animals and plants, some people may wonder, why there are still a large number of weak and small animals in such a dangerous place? This is because there is generally only one high-level or intermediate-level Warcraft in an area, the medium-level territory may be smaller, but there are also tens of thousands of square meters of range, and the high-level Warcraft has several square kilometers of territory, for ordinary animals, the threat of Warcraft is far less than that of natural enemies. However, due to the existence of a large number of primary demonic beasts on the periphery of the forest, it restricts the survival of ordinary animals, and most of the animals are in the middle and central areas of the forest, forming a unique ecological chain. Warcraft and animals are creatures of the two worlds, except for their own food targets, other animals Warcraft basically don't pay attention, and Warcraft is not all 'meat'.

The fringe forests are full of towering trees, bushes, shaded vines, and grass, but that's not all, there are scattered lakes, bare hills, 'tidal' swamps, red-hot lava, and other landforms. The snow that flows from the Himalayas converges in the forest into two large rivers and dozens of smaller rivers that stretch into the southern sea. According to the experts who have entered the fringe forest, there are also many sea monsters growing on the southern coast, which are the same as ordinary monsters but live in the sea, and their strength is not weaker than that of the monsters on land.

Although the fringe forest is full of dangers, Harry is definitely not the first non-expert to rush in. Many adventurers and even mercenaries will choose to go into the fringe forests for profit or fame. The 'fur' skins of intermediate-level magical beasts, rare ores, and herb 'medicines' are all things that can bring gold coins, and if you can successfully harvest them once, you can at least go away for a long time. And the risk of the expedition is not as high as imagined, as long as it does not touch the environment of the forest, do not go too deep, do not have too many people, and act low-key, most adventurers or teams can return with a full load, but excessive greed often causes tragedy, and there are definitely not a few corpses thrown in the forest every year.

The route his father had laid out for Harry was undoubtedly very feasible, and he could reach the southern cliffs of the Grand Canyon by walking for several kilometers in the outermost part of the marginal forest, close to the Grand Canyon, and continuing to the northwest in less than a day, he could re-enter the territory of the Empire and reach the south-central part of the Empire, leaving the sphere of influence of Nantes City. As for the various magical beasts that may be encountered in the fringe forest, there should not be much of a threat to Harry who can defeat Geblin.

However, he ignored an important factor, that is, Harry's sense of direction~ Strictly speaking, Harry is not a road blind, because he at least has a very good memory, and he is familiar with the 'chest' for the route. But the ability of the little nobles who have never been far away from the 'gate' and who has no experience of living in the wild to discern the direction is simply a mess, this is not the earth, he has no concept of whether the sun rises from the east or the south, the compass does not exist, although the stars are in the sky, but no one can expect Harry to distinguish them, not to mention that it is not easy to see the stars in the edge forest. So, naturally, Harry 'lost' his way in the forest......

There were trees everywhere that looked the same but different, and before Harry had been out for 10 minutes, he lost his way back and began his own 'swing' through the edge forest like a fly.

Through long-term human research, "Warcraft" erupts about once every 30 years, and at this time, the fringe forest has become synonymous with danger. Even the masters don't want to go in and find trouble at this time. When Harry entered the forest, it had been 29 years since the last war, so the humans who had been living in the fringe forests for the last few years had largely disappeared...... War, on the verge of breaking out!
