The fire in the southern part of the continent in early spring burned for three days before it was completely extinguished by the returning Shepherd Order, and the nameless red wilderness finally had an official name on the Orita continent - the Ash Wilderness.

In the center of the vast gray plain is a continuous depression, where the molten rocks are blasted by the blue waves and not only bring an extinct fire to the area, but also the hard rock falling from the height of the sky has also smashed many deep craters of different depths under the action of gravitational potential. The Black Dragon's high-spirited Black Armor Legion had already crossed this place and continued to fight southward, the battle-dead, burned, stoned-to-death, distorted by the aura of the rotten soul turned into madmen, hacked to death by their comrades-in-arms with tears, the charred and twisted black dry bones and refined armor filled the pits, and only half of the bare banner was left in front of a rolling black stump.

Facing the impact of the carrion aura, the resentful soul has become a kind of negative energy creature similar to the resentful spirit, hating flames and fearing plants, and every month on the treetops begins to howl and fight like crazy, the strong devour the weak, and the high degree of distortion devours the low, these spirit creatures with ash residual warmth wander in groups on the ash wilderness all night long, and once a living creature passes by, they rush up to torture them and eat their souls.

"Report it to the Order, the Black Dragon Territory is already a new place of calamity, where every inch of soil, not a drop of water needs to be completely purified!" The Elk Walker was holding a round-leaved shrub plant in his hand, his face was pale and ugly, the replanted plant had become a round-leaved plant that he had seen from the outside, and the land under his feet could not feel the slightest natural will, and there were wandering gray-red spirit creatures everywhere - this wilderness renamed Ash was almost completely dead!

"Thomps, you will bring back the glory of your majesty, gather the brothers who are willing to come here to practice the teachings, and the next time will ......" Elkwalker strode towards the Chai Werewolf Sentry Mountains, "the great Father of the Oak Tree, please protect this place, and I will do everything I can to restore the Ash Wilderness to its original state." ”

"Teacher?!" the young druid tried to stop the Elkwalker with a fist-sized golden oak seed in his hand, "but it's too close to the dragon!"

"It's okay, I'll start at the edge of the wilderness and heal this place little by little. The Elkwalker had made up his mind, leaning on his sturdy wooden staff and carrying a pair of thick antlers, "And I don't know the ways of nature well enough, I need some time to explore my mind, and one day I will take revenge on the dragon again." ”

Elkwalker walked a few steps, and suddenly paused, "Take care of yourself, guard the way of nature, don't do things that don't make sense, and Downps, from now on you are an independent druid." ”

Fires are very common in the wilderness, but as long as it is not artificially set on fire, no druid who understands the way of nature goes back and takes the initiative to intervene, life and death are constant, death is part of the natural balance of the world, the grass and trees turn into ashes, the bones of animals are withered, and after the flames, the next year is a more prosperous grass and tree wilderness, and the survival of the fittest, the beasts that successfully escaped the fire can also provide a more positive and healthy ecosystem for the wilderness, in general, the normal wilderness fire is just the pain before progress, no big deal.

But this is not the case in the Ash Wilderness, as the price of directly carrying the Black Dragon Rotting Soul Aura to ascend, after experiencing the ravages of many high-level magics and the concretized monstrous blue waves, this wilderness has become a Southern Larch Forest no different, even if the Shepherd Order re-cultivates a normal ecological environment here, it will not be long before this place will still change into a new Southern Larch.

After confirming the situation in the Ash Wilderness, the six Great Druids thought about destroying this place directly to quell it, but all the prophecies were ultimately rejected by the Elk Walker, and the black dragon's actions had a bit of an impact on him - there had never been an evil being that could have allowed his own will to replace the will of nature! Yes, although there were many mutated plants and twisted spirits here, there was no trace of the manifestation of the will of nature here, and all the collective consciousness that the Elk Walker could perceive was no different from the chaos of the evil dragon!

......

After defeating the Northern Expedition organized by Grand Duke Tulip, the Black Armor Legion of the Black Dragons marched south from the Ash Wastes to the Gnoll Sentry Mountains.

The Gnoll Sentry Mountain Range between the Kingdom of Freden and the Kingdom of Dams is tall and majestic, and the continuous mountain moat generally blocks the way that Freden must pass to attack Dams in the past, but no one thought that this moat would one day become a life-saving door for Freden to save himself.

Half of the wilderness outside the Valley of the Elephant Helmet has been occupied by dense black-armored legions, and the neatly arranged black tents are only a glance from the distant hills, and the merchant wanderers who pass through this place do not dare to continue to approach - it is this evil dragon army that slaughtered 140,000 Freden soldiers in the Ashes War half a month ago, and the entire red wilderness has been burned to the ground by their evil dragon lord, and I heard that the great druids of His Majesty Sivanus have no way to recover there.

- It's really horrible!

Countless merchants in the middle of the country have chosen to turn back to the north here, I heard that the black dragon leader in the north is very friendly to the merchants, and they don't want these black-armored monsters to pass without saying a word, and didn't the Golden Oak caravan say that the black dragon leader is trying to open up the connection with the dark region? Maybe it can still make a fortune in the past.

The caravans were on horseback, carrying their goods and money bags in search of wealth, but the adventurers who wanted to go to the war-torn countries in the south did not think so, compared to the adventurers who wanted to get ahead by participating in the war, they were divided into two factions:

Some of them went north with the caravan to explore the dark region and the legendary city with all kinds of strange things, while the other part chose to stay here to stop evil and make achievements. For example, former Field Marshal Bre Deley of Kerhill City and his companions.

In the past ten years, Keshir has completely become a subsidiary city of the Black Dragon Lord, the old nobles have been cleaned up by the Prime Minister's executioner Harry, and the new city lord, Trete's eldest son Jamiri, has betrayed his faith and been punished by the paladins of the Lord of the Dawn.

At the beginning, he thought about leading the people of Kaishir against oppression, and he even found his fellow brothers who practiced the way of knighthood together many years ago to prepare to lead the people against the evil dragon!

As a result, the first uprising failed, and the location of their garrison was denounced by local fishermen.

The second coup d'état failed, and they were discovered by the miscellaneous servants inside Keshir when they infiltrated the bluestone fort in Keshir.

As for the third time, Bray Deley and the others had just bought a country manor and wanted to use it as a base to start developing again, when they happened to encounter the so-called "fighting landlord" movement of the Black Dragon Lord, and their manor was divided up by those hopeless mobs!

Uprisings came and went, and in the end, even Bray Deli had to admit the reason for his defeat - the standard of living of the people of Keshir under the Black Dragon Lords was much higher than before.

Frustrated, he chose to embark on another journey to pursue himself, and over the years he has gathered a whole team of adventurers around him, and he has found a new career again: to take this adventure group out and let them all realize their dreams!

Unfortunately, it all changed when he met the dragon again.

The mage Midnight wants to go north to the Black Dragons with his lover Cranvo Leonspan and the prodigal priest Ayton, while the two thieves Syrico and the girl with the alias Whiteface want to continue south - the rules of the Black Dragons are too heavy!

As for himself, he wants to stay in the Valley of the Elephant Helmet to fight against the evil dragon and avenge the old city lord Trete.
