In the province of Blago in April, the sky is clear and blue, like a blue crystal; between the mountains is shaded by green trees, connecting one piece at a time, like a giant curtain and like a blanket; there is a waterfall on the cliff that goes straight down, and when it flies down and splashes, the heavy water hits the boulder, and the impact seems to smash down the starry sky!

Within the province, from north to south, from east to west, the mountains are steep, the rocks are stacked, and the Blago River flows through the province, and then divides into countless tributaries that run all over the province.

The Cardina Grand Canyon, located in the north of the central part of the province, is once again in full bloom.

The Cardina Grand Canyon, facing from north to south, is like a crack in the territory of the province.

It used to be a side tributary of the Blago River, but it was later diverted to this large tributary of the Blago River, and it became the premier Grand Canyon in the entire province of Blago.

In the north of the Cardina Grand Canyon, among the undulating mountains, there are winding mountain roads like snakes, and a group of people slowly come towards the Cardina Grand Canyon on the mountain paths.

Although there are only more than 100 people, it is full of flags, with rolling dust, but it is quite imposing.

Looking closer, there was a soldier in front of him, carrying the sword and shield of the empire on his back.

The whole military flag is a square rectangle, with a bright and warm golden-red base, like a hot flame, like a raging fire, burning and never stopping.

Underneath the banner is a shield with intricate patterns, and above the shield is a sword and a knife crossed and pressed heavily against the shield.

A sharp aura emanated from the sword.

This symbolizes the martial spirit of the empire, expanding its territory with the sword and protecting the empire with a shield.

The entire perimeter of the military flag was covered with various flower petals, adding a touch of softness to this solemn scene.

Behind the second soldier is an orchid flag with a white background.

It was the family crest of His Majesty the Emperor today, and for this reason, the empire is now also known as the Orchid Dynasty.

So far, there have been countless dynasties in the history of the empire, and countless families have gone one after another to inscribe their family coats of arms in the Crystal Palace, the Senate, and the altars of the temple.

Sagar looked at the mountains in the distance and the hanging waterfalls in the distance, and smiled slightly.

Then he waved to the person at the front of the line.

A short, thin, dark-skinned man ran towards Zaga with a smile on his face.

When he arrived in front of Sagar, he took off his hat and bowed 90 degrees, and then bent his waist with a flattering smile on his face, and asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong with you looking for the little one?"

Sagar smiled and pointed into the distance and asked, "Zahar, that's the Grand Canyon of Kadina, right?"

Zahar was Zahar's guide from the city of Blago, and it is said that when he was young, he traveled from north to south and across the entire province of Blago, including the Five Kingdoms more than once.

It stands to reason that the Cardina Grand Canyon should be a transportation artery between the north and the south, but because it is a little remote, it is sparsely populated.

When Zahar was a young man, he had passed through here several times in order to evade taxes, but he was unusually familiar with this place.

"Yes, my lord, we are still fifty miles away. Zahar still had a flattering smile on his face.

"What kind of boundary is this?" Sagar looked around, it was really unusually steep, and almost all of them were one mountain up, followed by another.

"My lord, this place is called the River of Tanatos!" the guide's face slowly retracted a smile and became a little serious.

"The River of Tanatos?" asked Sagar, curiously.

Thanatos is the god of death of the Emerald Empire, the Elven Kingdom, and the former Kingdom of Blago!

Although the name of the god of death is intimidating, he is the most just and equitable god in many mythological records.

In the abyss of death, all beings are equal!

This is the oracle of the god of death!

"Your Excellency, look at the terrain around here. Zahar said, gesturing around.

"There are extremely steep peaks as far as the eye can see, and there are many caves on the mountain, and if you walk here, you will fall into the abyss if you are not careful. If it weren't for a strong man like an adult, someone would die here almost every time. Zahar said with a solemn face.

Saga raised his eyes and looked around, it was indeed the case, it was very inconvenient to go up and down the mountain, and if you were not careful, you would fall into the mountain.

No wonder it's called the River of Tanatos!

It is truly a place beloved by the god of death.

However, Zachar's brow could not help but furrow, such a terrain is absolutely impossible to pass through the army!

I don't know how many losses a legion will cause if it passes through here, and this is only the loss of combatants.

If you add the people who do logistics, just through this section of mountains and rivers, the soldiers' pensions will directly drag down the provincial finances.

Although there is the central treasury of the empire behind it, the more it is spent, the lower the reward for war exploits will be in the future.

"Do you know how the army should go if it wants to pass?" asked Sagar, smiling at Zahar.

"Huh?" Zahar was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

Army?

How can an army pass through here?

What general would be so stupid?

"Yes, the army!" said Sagar with a meaningful smile, "The empire is not a little defenseless here, and if someone sneaks in, it will not be good." ”

"Your Excellency, you're overthinking. Zahar suddenly realized: "With the terrain here, it is impossible for a large army to pass through here!"

"Are you sure?" asked Saga as if casually whispering, his gaze a little sharp.

This will surely be able to pass the army!

In his previous life, Sagar looked at the military intelligence that after the Battle of Cardina Grand Canyon, only seven days later, the combined forces of the Five Kingdoms reached the River of Tanatos.

Seven days!

Looking at the mountains around here, how can it be a detour?

It must have passed through the mountains!

Looking at Zachar's expression, the "sure" that Zahar was about to blurt out was also stuck in his throat.

After a while, he was a little cautious and slowly spoke: "My lord, I heard that there are countless caves under this mountain and river, and these caves are tortuous. ”

"According to legend, there are some special paths in these countless caves. ”

"These paths were explored by the ancestors of many hunters. ”

"It is only passed down from mouth to mouth among those people. ”

"Perhaps, you can go to the descendants of those people?"

“......”
