"Ah, why are we talking about these heavy topics?"

Feeling that her sister and Ms. Ville Loren had a tendency to slide in a dangerous direction, Shi Ji hurriedly spoke up and changed the subject: "Let's talk about something pleasant!" For example, the elk, wild horses, and goats in the Supreme Wasteland are too numerous to breed because of the lack of natural predators such as trolls, orcs, and gnolls, so that they seriously threaten the ecological balance of the Supreme Wasteland. ”

As the largest open-air wilderness in western Faeren, the Supreme Heath, like the eternal heath north of Dessaren, is covered with moss and low grass, and the wind sometimes passes through the heath and then falls silent, because the warm monsoon winds from the southern coast suppress the cold winds from the north, and the moist air settles here, so the heath is usually surrounded by mist.

Because of the abundant water vapor, although the Great Wilderness is a rocky wilderness, the undulating ravines and streams flowing with clear water make all the outcropping rocks grow lichen and moss, and the shrubs that wind out of the cracks in the rocks are a common sight in the vast wilderness.

Therefore, although the Supreme Wasteland is called the Wasteland, carnivores such as wolves and tigers and leopards are rare in this wasteland because of the existence of trolls, bugbears and goblins who hunt other large beasts to feed on monsters. The lack of predators in nature has led to the proliferation of small ungulate herbivores, from small zebras to long-haired sheep, from wild horses to careful elk.

Even in the past, when the Great Wasteland was home to a large number of trolls, bearmen, goblins, and other monsters, heavily armed farmers and merchants who gambled on the shores of Sword Bay would come to the wasteland during the warm season to catch wild horses for training or to hunt for livestock to take away.

Now the monsters raging in the Supreme Wasteland have almost been strangled by Dugu Feng, and without the herbivores hunted by natural enemies, the current population is even more unprecedentedly large, even to the extent that not taking the initiative to slaughter will greatly damage the fragile ecological balance on the Supreme Wasteland.

"It's really interesting."

Lifar Silvermoon took over Shi Ji's topic and suggested with a smile, "Maybe we should also go for a spin in the Supreme Wasteland, where we can enjoy the fun of hunting and maintain the balance of nature!" ”

Although she has changed from an elf to a vampire, and is no longer a druid favored by the Father of Oaks, she still has not given up on her faith and is still willing to do something to maintain the balance of nature.

"Hunting?" Shi Ji said with some interest: "Is it like those kings and nobles, hunting those poor and weak prey in the enclosed forest?" Perhaps in the future, when the Kingdom of West Hartland is established, the future king will also be like those kingdoms in the east, and the Supreme Wasteland will be assigned to the royal hunting grounds, which will be specially used for hunting! ”

"But rather than hunting those poor herbivores that won't resist, I'd rather hunt some vicious prey like ferocious wolves and trolls!"

"Kingdom of West Hartland?" Dugu Feng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this is the ambition of their father, Anta * Grand Duke of Silver Shield!

Baldur's Gate is located on the west coast of the entire Feron continent, and like the Northlands where the famous Silver Moon Federation is located, it is not part of the bustling area of the continent.

In the western part of the entire continent, there are not fertile plains like the Falling Star Sea region in the middle of the continent, mountains, swamps, deserts, wilderness, and forests are the main terrain, and non-human races and monsters such as goblins, gnolls, ogres, trolls, orcs, elves, etc. are the main inhabitants of the wilderness.

The living environment here is ten times more difficult than the Falling Star Sea region in the middle, where human beings survive and reclaim, in addition to facing the swamps, wilderness, hills, plateaus, forests and other harsh natural environments, but also have to fight against all kinds of powerful inhuman races and monsters, in order to seize a survival territory with difficulty.

Over the past thousands of years, the human footprint has spread here, hundreds of city-states and small kingdoms have been established here, and then destroyed or abandoned in various crises and dangers, and finally only abandoned fortresses and ruins have been left behind - here, survival and competition are not only between people, but also between people and non-people, between people and nature, and to conquer and develop this land, you need not only high walls and swords, but also a strong mind and great strength.

The living environment in the western part of the continent and the struggle between human beings and non-human races are too fierce and cruel, so until now, the scope of human control in the entire western region has not expanded much, and it is still stuck in the era of the city-state system in the early days of human civilization.

The political structure of these city-states and states in the western part of the continent is still similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period or Greece, with no unified kingdom and centralized government, and no feudal nobles with strict classes and feudal feuds. The harsh living environment in the western part of the continent makes people pay more attention to strength and wisdom, almost every healthy civilian is a qualified reserve adventurer or even a soldier, a large number of free people and adventurers, is the backbone of these city-states, so these city-states still retain a relatively primitive city-state republican system, and not like the prosperous Falling Star Sea area, has entered the feudal era of the king, nobles, and churches divided into territories.

The ambition of the original Archduke of Anta * Silver Shield may only be to squeeze out the other three archdukes and truly control the power of Baldur's Gate. But now, because of the influence of Dugu Feng and others, Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield has fulfilled his long-cherished wish ahead of schedule and has mastered the authority of the Baldur's Gate. Moreover, because Dugu Feng has continued to strangle monsters and fight evil forces in the wilderness for ten years, the environment of Baldur's Gate and even the entire West Hartland area has improved unprecedentedly, and the safe wilderness has made farmers, freemen, adventurers and even merchants who have heard the news flock to the wilderness and open up to the wilderness, forming a huge trend.

Such drastic social changes suddenly made the Grand Duke of Anta Silver Shield more ambitious, and he was no longer satisfied with being a true Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate, he even hoped to go one step further and unify the city-states and towns of the entire West Hartland region to establish a real West Hartland kingdom.

As for whether the ambition of Anta * Silver Shield Archduke matches his own strength, Dugu Feng is noncommittal. However, for her who aspires to become a god, a powerful kingdom ruled by her own family is a very good help. Therefore, Dugu Feng is happy to see the ambition of Grand Duke Anta Yindun, and he doesn't even mind making a contribution to it.

"If the Kingdom of West Hartland is established, maybe Shi Ji will also become a real queen!" Dugu Feng touched Shi Ji's little head and said with a smile.

"Ah, how can I be a queen? Even if there really is a queen, it should be a strong and attractive person like you, sister! ”

The ambition of Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield to dominate the West Hartland region is not well known, but it is also a matter that is well known among the top leaders of all parties. Therefore, Shi Ji was not surprised by her sister's ridicule, but felt that even if the Silver Shield family could successfully reach the top and establish the Kingdom of West Hartland, the queen should be a powerful and beautiful sister, not herself.

"Queen of West Hartland?" Listening to the joke between the two, Lifar Yinyue couldn't help but smile and said, "Lord Alita is indeed very queenly!" Maybe one day, we'll really call Aelita the queen together! Do you think so? ”

"That's right, long live Queen Elita!"

"Salute! Salute to the future Queen of West Hartland! ”

"Haha, except for killing Her Majesty the Queen, we don't recognize anyone!"

Lifar Yinyue asked as if jokingly, and the knights around him jokingly cheered, for their master, the ambition of the Silver Shield family, they knights and followers are naturally happy to see it happen, in such a great pioneering era of national endeavour, it is the greatest luck and expectation in their lives to be able to follow a legendary powerhouse to create a dynasty and make contributions. Titles, territories, power, wealth, and glory are not the goals that mortals strive for all their lives?

"Your Majesty Queen Eleta, it seems that you are very much loved by your subordinates!"

Veria Roland looked at the knights around him who were half joking and half cheering seriously, and couldn't help but smile: "However, I am afraid that it will not be easy to unify the West Hartland region!" A powerful and unified kingdom of West Hartland is probably not only unwilling to see it by Am, the Sattarin, as well as the Deep Water City and the Silver Moon Federation in the north, but also the harpists, the God of the One, the Lord of the Dawn, and other temples! ”

The West Hartland region is a very large area, from the Kingdom of Amm to the south, to Waterdeep and the Supreme Forest to the north, to the east of the Ainook Desert and the Dragon Coast, and to the west to the coast of Sword Bay. In addition to Baldur's Gate, the most famous city in the Sword Bay region, there are also the important base of the Harpists League, the city of Bairdasz, the church territory of the Lord of Dawn, Belgoust, the territory of the Heim church, and the Dark Fortress, the stronghold of the Zatarin, but they are all very powerful independent city-states, and they may not really be happy to see the establishment of a unified West Hartland kingdom.

Regarding Veria Roland's question, Dugufeng raised his head slightly, glanced at the north, and said lightly: "If I want to, they are not a problem." ”
