The Silverwind Coniferous Forest is the only forest in the Plains of Celestia, this forest is located on a mountain range, geographically speaking, the mountain range where the Silver Wind Taiga Forest is located is part of the Boundary Mountains, the Boundary Mountains are like a huge crescent-shaped wall, isolating the Far North where the Mage Realm and the Snowy Federation are located from the rest of the Brilliant Continent, but I don't know what the Creator is kidding, the eastern quarter of this giant wall seems to have been cut off by half, and this dense coniferous forest is formed on this relatively low mountain range

Before the barbarians came to Olopa, the Plain of Slavia and the Silverwind Taiga were originally the territory of a holy light cult country called the Ancient Lyman Kingdom, and the Ancient Lyman Kingdom only had nominal sovereignty over it, but due to the cold climate, barren land, and wild beasts, this vast land has always been a no-man's land, until the barbarians from the west landed on this land, it officially became a human settlement, and later, the ancient Lyman Kingdom was destroyed due to the civil war, and the Silencian Plain and the Silver Wind Taiga naturally became the territory of this group of oriental immigrants

Since the three rivers that traverse the plain of Slavia: the North Slavia River, the Middle Plain River, and the South Plain River, all originate from the Silver Wind Coniferous Forest, that forest is of great sacred significance to the Xiong Yan people who settled here, and the Da Meng tribe of the eight major clans undertakes the important mission of protecting the Silver Wind Hydroparide and the headwaters of the Three Rivers. The three rivers have frozen, there is a dead silence everywhere, and the other clans will migrate to the warmer places in the south of the plain, and only the Da Meng still endure hunger and cold, guarding the important water source for their compatriots, although among the eight major clans, the Da Meng are not the strongest, but it is their spirit of selfless dedication for their compatriots, and the other clans all support the head of the Da Meng clan, and the Shan Yu Da Meng clan is also the only orthodox inheritance of the throne of Shan Yu

After days of marching, the barbarians and the eight major clans dragged a mighty army of 10,000 finally to the outer plains of the silverwind taiga, and the endless scenery made people look as far as possible, although they were still dozens of kilometers apart, the black mountains and woods were clearly visible

While the army was advancing like ants in the direction of the mountains and the woods, another team was moving rapidly towards the army from the direction of the woods, and seeing the dusty appearance in front of them, the commanders of the allied forces of the various tribes ordered to stop the advance

The team on the opposite side quickly rushed to the front, they were the 1,000 cavalry of the remaining troops of the Da Meng tribe, and the task of the Da Meng tribe this year was heavier than in previous years, in addition to guarding the source of the river, they also had to block the border to prevent the mad magicians from rushing from the side of the Snow Federation, so Shan Yucai left 95% of the army strength of the Da Meng tribe on the periphery of the silver wind taiga, and brought so few people to participate in the martial arts competition

A sturdy middle-aged woman in the cavalry unit who seemed to be the leader jumped off her horse and walked straight to Shan Yu's caraver: Abba, you are back to learn that someone has rebelled and wants to assassinate you, we are all worried to death, thank you Eagle Father and Wolf Mother for seeing that you are safe and sound now

Okay, Unagu Yishan nodded and signaled that she didn't need extra etiquette, how about the blockade, and there were still mad magicians crossing the border

Back to Abba, in the days you left, the brothers held on day and night, and did not find a single berserk magician crossing the border, but there were a few ordinary civilian families, a total of thirteen people, all of whom had been shot and killed on the blockade line, and this barbarian woman named Unaguyi reported to Shan Yu truthfully

After working hard, hurry back to the clan and prepare, there are compatriots from the major clans, as well as guests from foreign clans, and you must have the best hospitality

Got it

Receiving Shan Yu's order, the women led the five hundred of the cavalry away

On the left and on the right, Wu and Tan Tan are the leaders of each clan, and behind them are Owen, Sophia, Joyka, Ray, Cassius, Leonard, Dani, Ischenova, and Lyle

The conversation between Unaguyi and Shan Yu just now was very relaxed, but it made the foreign guests in the team sound particularly harsh, especially Cassius, Ischennova, and Lyle, the three of them grew up in the Snowy Federation, and they have deep feelings for the people in the Federation, and when they heard Unaguyi say in an indifferent tone, when they shot thirteen civilians of the Snowy Federation, their faces were extremely ugly, and their expressions contained indescribable anger, and Sophia, Ray and others were also full of black lines after hearing these conversations

As if sensing the unhappiness of his partners, Shan Yu glanced back at Owen and understood what Shan Yu meant, Owen pulled the reins of the horse and left from his partners, and came to Shan Yu alone

Una Guyi is my daughter-in-law, Shan Yu said

I know Owen said that when I heard that she didn't call you 'Shan Yu' or 'Majesty' like everyone else, but called you 'Abba' like Tan Tan, I guessed that she was your daughter or daughter-in-law

Yes, Unaguyi's husband is my eldest son, that is, the eldest brother of Tan Tan and Tijuche - Yi Zhixi, you should have heard that before Tijucheer, Yi Zhixian was also the 'first warrior', seven years ago, after Yi Zhixian died in the southern war, she has always blamed herself for not leaving her husband an heir, since then, she has shouldered the responsibilities of her dead husband on the shoulders of a woman, and has done her best to assist Tijucheer, in order to establish her prestige in the army, for so many years, Una Guyi has been training hard every day, and now she is infinitely powerful. Courage, especially horsemanship, archery, and spearmanship, are beyond the reach of countless men, if women are allowed to participate in the competition, where is the turn of the Meng tribe, the Ukrainian brothers are on the field, half a year ago, Juche'er passed away again, and I am so old, the heavy responsibility of commanding the Da Meng army all falls on her shoulders, as a woman, she has carried too many burdens, so ......

I understand what Ou Wenming wanted to say very politely, nodded and said, Una Guyi is just loyal to his duties, my friends...... Don't worry, I'll take care of it

With that, Owen took the reins and returned to his companions

Owen just told you what Shan Yu just said, and Sophia asked Owen expressionlessly, apparently by nature, she was angry at Shan Yu's troops for shooting civilians

A woman's misfortune Owen replied lonely

What Sophia was a little confused

Let's go, Owen didn't explain more

The army slowly advanced in the direction of the Da Mon garrison under the guidance of 500 welcoming soldiers......

A few days ago, the rebellion caused great losses to the Xiong Clan, among the eight major clans, the originally most powerful Anta Clan suffered the most heavy losses, with a total of nearly 2,000 people losing their lives; followed by the 600 warriors brought by the Da Meng clan, only a few people survived; the other six major clans also had more than 800 warriors who could never return home, and there were countless minor injuries and serious injuries

In a way, Owen and his companions were the culprits behind the tragedy, but the vast majority of the barbarians did not resent them, including many of the Anta, and if it was the Father of the Eagle and the Mother of the Wolves who brought down this catastrophe in order to test the males, they would gladly accept it

When all the qiē settled down, Owen told everyone what had happened:

It turned out that when he knew that his companions were going to pass through the Slavia Plain to the Snowy Federation, he had a premonition that the barbarians might bring danger to the actions of his companions, so Owen set off early, relying on the flight advantage of riding a griffin, and when the partners had just crossed the border between the West Lothi Kingdom and the Loma Kingdom, Owen had already arrived at the Slavian Plain, and at that time, the jousting tournament had not yet begun, and they were all in the stage of preparation

Owen originally had no intention of intervening in the interracial competition, he wanted to collect as much information as possible about his partners on the road, so that he could make emergency countermeasures in advance when danger occurred, Owen explored all the way, and when he came to the border between the Slavia Plain and the Snowy Federation, that is, the silverwind taiga, an unexpected thing happened

He slept in the woods until midnight when he heard a wail full of sorrow, and Owen followed the sound to find that the source of the wail turned out to be a lonely earthbound spirit wandering in the woods

Generally speaking, after death, the soul can go, except for the gods of their respective beliefs, only the soul of the dead in the underworld, if they still remain in this life, it will be very painful, unless they are driven by strong obsessions, or their wishes in life have not been fulfilled and cannot be let go, and some people can fight against this pain and become ghosts, and remain in this world

There are many kinds of ghosts: heroes who abide by justice in life, who still adhere to their beliefs and guard a certain person or thing that is extremely important to them after death, are heroic spirits; similar to heroic spirits, but because they have made outstanding contributions, they are blessed by the gods with the holy spirits who are better than heroic spirits; those who are summoned to the present world by some external force and cannot return to the underworld after the external force disappears, and can only wander aimlessly in this world, that is, lonely souls and wild ghosts; those who have a miserable death or have great resentment before death, thus causing some kind of self-bondage; those who are wicked people who have done all the bad things in life, and who do not repent after death, but still do evil in all directions; those who are similar to evil spirits but have stronger power than evil spiritsIt is the evil spirit that does evil deeds more deeply than the evil spirit and often carries a terrible curse, and because a certain wish has not been fulfilled in life, it refuses to leave the present world, but is unable to move freely, and thus attaches itself to an object of great significance to the person in his life......

As for the Earth Bound Spirits, they are similar to the Object Bound Spirits, but they are not attached to a certain object, but the land before death, and the Earth Bound Spirits are limited by the geographical range of their activities after death, they do not attack the living for no reason, but always try to communicate with the living people who are close to their area, hoping that someone can help them fulfill their unfulfilled wishes, and as long as they fulfill their wishes, they will not leave this world

And the name of the earthbound spirit that Owen met in the woods was Tijuche.
