In Tanan's palm, the thing that was still dripping muddy water was a soaked griffin feather, the original feather of gorgeous color is now long gone, but the unique size and shape still make Tanan recognize its true origin at a glance.

As one of the specialties of the Erathia Empire, the griffin feather is also a popular ornament on the continent and is widely used, but Tanan is very sure that the feather in his hand is definitely not artificially removed from the griffin as a commodity and sold, but dragged off the griffin's body, because the artificially removed feathers, in order to avoid the pain angering the fierce griffin, generally do not uproot, but will be cut with special scissors, this feather, There is a clear difference between the one that is at the root and the one that drags it on its own, and it is clear that this feather has only been dragging it off for a short time.

This was common knowledge that even ordinary scouts knew, and of course experienced Tanan knew it, so his heart began to sink.

Because the area where Tanan is currently located is the edge of the Tetalia Swamp, which can already be regarded as the territory of Tataria, Tanan followed the edge of the Tulaone Forest and crossed the border of the Diya region to reach here, which is quite far from the Empire, and it stands to reason that the griffons unique to the Erathia Empire should not appear in this area, even if it is the griffin knight scouts of the Imperial border guards, it is impossible to go so far to explore, unless there is a special purpose that requires them to do so.

Wild griffons are less likely to come here, as griffons don't like such environments and tend to stay away from marshes.

But now, Tanan has found a feather dragged off the griffin's body here, which means that there must have been a griffin in this area, and after ruling out the possibility of wild griffins, it has become clear who the whole continent can bring griffins to this area.

But what does the emperor want to do? Tanan was a little surprised.

Tytaria is now chaotic enough, it is also a dead country, but Tytalia is no better than the Ofer region, unlike the Ofer region that was destroyed by the Kerrigan people who have particularly unusual environmental requirements, the Everglades of Tytalia is a rich and rich land, with many specialties, otherwise, the empire would not have held on to this place and refused to let go, and now that Tytalia is dead, the major forces are actually looking at this land and want to get a piece of this feast.

Among them, the most blatant and unscrupulous are naturally the Croude barbarians who have been fished with their mouths full of oil, and after they fought fiercely with the necromancers and local armed forces in the swamp, they swept away countless supplies, and then patted their butts and flashed people, which is quite short-sighted, but it is very much in line with the consistent mercenary style of the barbarian rulers, but now, the oil and water they fished have been almost lost on the battlefield of Bracada.

Then there are the necromancers, although the purpose of these undead creatures to invade the swamp area is not clear, but Tanan knows that no matter what the necromancers want to do, everything in Tytalia, whether it is gold or supplies, must have been looted by the undead army, except for food, the necromancers want not much less than the barbarians.

If the elven kingdom is not troubled by internal and external troubles, it is too busy to take care of itself; If the Bracada Mage Kingdom is not beyond the reach of the whip, and there is also a sworn enemy Krurod Barbarian Kingdom in the middle, Tanan knows that in Titalia, there will definitely be the presence of the armies of these countries.

From this point of view, the empire next to the Tytalia region will take action, Tanan is not surprised, but the war in the Hammondale region has greatly restrained the emperor's ** team, plus being in the middle of the continent, the commotion on the border is enough to make the emperor ** dare not act rashly, and the returning necromancers are extremely tough this time, and they are bound to win the Taitalia region, so Tanan does not think that the empire will attack the swamp with great fanfare at this time, the timing is really wrong, what the empire needs now, It's recuperation, not war.

The empire has declined, lost Catherine, the glory of the empire is long gone, in Tanan's view, after the war, Catherine is the soul of the empire, and without this soul, the empire is at best just a walking corpse.

But the empire still moved, it seems that neither the new emperor nor the regent of the empire is willing to admit the fact that the empire is not as good as before, and they stubbornly want to recreate the glory of the strongest country on the continent, and prove to the world that the empire is still strong, or even better than before.

What kind of changes will this stubbornness bring to the Tytalia Marsh? Tanan couldn't figure out this question for a while, but what he could be sure of was that this already chaotic swamp would definitely become even more chaotic because of the emperor's ** team's re-attack, and those swamp residents who were struggling in the disaster of the war would also usher in even greater suffering.

As soon as he thought of this, Tanan's previous good mood completely disappeared, and he hurriedly found a place to shelter from the rain, he took out a pen and paper, hastily wrote two letters, and then sent them out with two exquisite magic letter teleportation arrays.

Of these two letters, one was sent to Warita in Negan for him to pass on to Jian Chen, and the other was sent to a friend of his in Titalia.

This friend of his is now leading a rebel army in the swamp, using the terrain to fight invaders who invade his homeland.

That's Edney, the witch of fire.

Edney, the witch of fire, is also a legend in the swamp of Titalia, and her relationship with Tanan is a bit ambiguous, or it can be said that she is Tanan's confidante, if it weren't for Tanan's lack of courage to face reality and dare not pierce the thin last layer of paper between the two, maybe the one who is now with Tanan will not be the elf Warita, but Edney.

But even so, the two are now very close, and Tanan's trip is to use Edney's influence among the Titarians to once again unite the swamp dwellers against the necromancers and guide them to the Alliance.

In the Titalia Swamp, witches are a group of people with high status and respect, for unknown reasons, in this land where magicians are quite scarce, the number of female magicians is far more than that of male magicians, and the achievements of female magicians are much higher than that of male magicians, and only powerful female magicians can be called witches by the swamp people, and witches are the sign of the magical power of the swamp kingdom.

Witches who specialize in fire magic are very rare in the swamp, or it can be said that no witch is willing to learn fire magic except for Edney, fire magic is a taboo in the swamp, this taboo has been around for a long time, so long that people have forgotten why there is such a taboo, until Edney, a natural fire magic genius, appeared, this taboo has to be broken.

In fact, before the necromancers invaded the swamp, Edney had a very unsatisfactory life, and the fire magic made her ostracized by the people in the swamp, and people regarded her as an alien and did not want to contact her, but Edney did not give up fire magic because of this, on the contrary, she chose to go away, and constantly honed her magic during the journey, and thus got to know Tanan, got Tanan's guidance in magic, and finally became an excellent master of fire magic.

After hearing the news of the necromancer's invasion of Tytaria, she resolutely ended her trip and returned to the swamp, endured the strange eyes of the swamp inhabitants, used her fire magic to fight the invaders, and defended the land she loved.

Now, with her courage and outstanding performance on the battlefield, Edney has been recognized by the inhabitants of the swamp, who have begun to accept her and accept fire magic, and the ruin of the country has made people abandon tradition and break taboos.

It can be said that although Edney's rebel army is not the largest in the Tytalia region, it is definitely the most famous, and even many remnants of the former Titaria army are willing to join her and continue to fight against the enemy under her leadership.

When Tanan received a warning letter about the possibility of military action against the Tetalia region, Edney was in the secret camp worried about the growing situation of her rebels.

Edney's secret camp is located in a dense forest deep in the swamp, this dense forest of trees endemic to the Tetalia region is quite common in the swamp, large or small, although those trees are not as tall as the towering trees of the Tulaone forest, but they also have a certain height, Edney has people build a shack in the trees for people, this kind of tree hut unique to the swamp area and the elves' tree houses have the same effect, but of course dwarf in terms of beauty, the inhabitants of the swamp do not have much desire for gorgeousness, they only seek practicality and comfort.

Edney's command center was located in one of the shacks, the interior of which was as simple as the shack's appearance, without anything fancy, but solid, and the moisture in the swamp was kept out by the walls of the shack and the heavy curtains, making it appear dry and warm.

The floor was covered with animal skins, and Edney sat cross-legged on the ground with a low table in front of her, and the swamp people were not in the habit of sitting in chairs, and so was Edney, of course.

The sun does not shine into this dense forest, and the swamp area is shrouded in fog for many years, so the shack is lit with torches day and night for lighting, in the firelight, Edney's long black curly hair is shiny, every time she turns her head, there will be bursts of black waves, very eye-catching, but Edney's delicate face is full of haggardness, it is not easy to be a good leader of the resistance.

After reading Tanan's letter, Edney's face was even more worried.

She felt like she was running out of it.
