The Tossan Railway, which spans the Dorsanan Desert and connects the western mainland of the Flominque Empire with the eastern province of Marcellus, was an important lifeline of the Flominque Empire.

The Flamenke Empire was once a landlocked country, and the harsh living environment cultivated the atmosphere of the empire's admiration of force, and the Imperial Musketeer Cavalry Regiment roamed the continent, and no country dared to cooperate with this open space, light and heavy cavalry, and the cavalry legions directly under the Wizard Regiment were in the field. At the same time, because of the powerful force of the Frominck Empire, the surrounding countries had to unite to contain the expansion of this empire on horseback.

The long and narrow Tozan Desert in the north and south was a natural barrier to the eastward advance of the Flominck Empire, and the eastern countries also thought that this dead desert full of undead was enough to cut off the Flominque Empire's peep into the fertile land in the east.

But no one could understand the desire of an inland empire for the sea. The seas of the East and the wider world overseas attracted the generals, nobles and their emperors of the Flominck Empire to look to the East.

Finally, 200 years ago, the Frominck Empire launched an eastward crusade with all its strength, and the imperial army crossed the Tossan Death Desert, and after more than ten years of war, captured the province of Marcellus, and got the outlet to the sea that the empire craved.

But it's not easy to capture the land, and it's even harder to hold it!

The nations of the East knew what it meant for the Flominque Empire to gain access to the sea and gain a foothold in the East...... The entire eastern part of the continent was exposed to the iron heel of the Flominck Empire.

As a result, the Hundred Years' War broke out over the province of Marcellus......

The existence of the Tozan Desert made it difficult for the Empire to support the Marcellus War. Most of the war materials will be consumed in the transportation of the desert, and they will not only have to face the extremely harsh environment of the desert, but also face the attack of the undead. Moreover, the empire in the interior of the country did not have much money for supplies and war. In times of difficulty, for a year, the Empire did not send a grain or a single soldier to the province of Marcellus.

During the Hundred Years' War, the Frominque Empire lost control of the province of Marcellus several times. But the thirst for the sea made the entire empire tighten their belts, save everything they could, and support the counter-offensive army with all their national strength.

The Tossan Railway was built during the war, an 800-kilometer railway that the Flominck Empire had built for a hundred years.

Every sleeper on the railroad was soaked in blood, and there were road builders, imperial soldiers, and armies from the eastern countries who came to sabotage the railway.

A hundred years ago, the Tossan Railway was opened to traffic. When a steady stream of Imperial troops and war materials were sent to the province of Marcellus, the war that had been fought for a hundred years came to an end.

The Eastern States and the Frominck Empire had exhausted their last strength for this war, and no one could afford to continue the war.

Thus the Treaty of Marcellus was signed.

The Eastern nations recognized the Flamenck's legitimate right to rule over the province of Marcellus; The Flamenque Empire allowed the province of Marcellus to govern itself and form a parliament. The Empire could send a Governor to the province of Marcellus, who would be the commander of the Imperial garrison in the province of Marcellus, but administratively subject to the Parliament, whose officials had to be elected and then appointed by the Council.

The two sides compromised, the treaty entered into force, and peace finally ushered in the province of Marcellus.

Although the Flominque Empire lost some of its rights in the province of Marcellus, it finally did not have to continue to bleed itself for the sake of this land. The Hundred Years War really drained Frominck's national strength, and even if the Tossan Railway was opened, they didn't know who would win and who would lose if the war continued......

The eastern nations were also reluctant to fight, they lived on the fertile lands of the eastern seaboard, and their comfortable life made their soldiers far less willing to fight than the Frominque iron horsemen. With the opening of the Tocsan Railway, the Flominque Empire's support for the province of Marcellus would be more convenient, and the countries were seriously anti-war.

With the signing of the treaty, the Frominque Empire's control and influence over the province of Marcellus was greatly reduced, and they believed that the inhabitants of the province of Marcellus had the blood of the eastern civilization and would prevent the expansion of the barbarians in the west in their own way.

Peace lasted for a hundred years.

With a large inland market, the province of Marcellus soon became the Oriental Pearl of the Floiminque Empire, where the fertile land, the suitable climate, and the maritime trade allowed the province to quickly escape the trauma of war and become the richest province of the empire.

The Tossan Railway, which connected Flominque mainland with the province of Marcellus, became the most important artery of the empire. Every day, countless people and supplies travel on this desert of death.

Brown Jennings is a Rank 9 high-level magician. He was a native of Flamenck, and the eldest son of Baron Jennings, who owned a manor near the imperial capital of the empire, with nearly a hundred serfs and dozens of families of freedmen. Baron Jennings also served as a minor official in an important department of the imperial capital, with a little power and status...... Life is also worry-free.

But as the first in line to the baron's line, Brown Jennings was interested in inheriting the estate and the barony...... There is no interest at all.

This homecoming is nothing short of torment for Brown Jennings.

The dirt roads in the countryside are potholed, and the ride is unpleasant, so you should always pay attention to the droppings of the animals under your feet when walking. Usually you can put up with it with a little caution, but after a heavy rain, you can never imagine what the whole estate smells like.

The people in the manor are even more vulgar, they have not bathed for months...... The clothes were greasy and stained, the hair was dirty and knotted, and lice crawled on it very arrogantly. What's even more terrifying is that they are all very enthusiastic about Brown Jennings, who is coming home from vacation, and like to gather around the eldest son of this family who has seen the world.

And Baron Jennings. On his first day home, Brown was dragged out by his father and hunted in the forest on horseback and with a musket. He and his clan knights rode their horses and shouted loudly to drive the deer, and shot everywhere with impunity. They also opened their chests without shame, revealing their thick chest hair, and said meat jokes while rubbing the mud on their bodies. And what made Brown want to vomit was ...... They filled the jug with deer blood and drank it in a gulp mixed with spirits...... Also let him drink.

No wonder the Marcellians called Fromink the country savage.

I don't know how my ancestors crossed the Desert of Death and conquered the beautiful province of Marcellus. This is probably what Brown Jennings has the most affection for this family, without the Hundred Years War, he would not have seen what civilization was like, and he would have to be like his father...... Be a drunkard with a lot of dirty words.

Fortunately...... The holiday season is finally over.
