Time flies, and five days have passed in a flash.

When the huge caravan stepped out of the endless desert and saw the large green vegetation and golden wheat fields that appeared on the plains, everyone had undisguised joy on their faces.

Because it means that they have completed the first hurdle of this dangerous journey.

It's the Great Karlin Desert, which traverses a harsh environment and is infested with bandits and monsters.

Although in the last two days, the caravan was attacked by several waves of bandits.

But in the end, these poor guys were all killed by the Shadow Legion controlled by Zuo Si, and their souls were transformed into new Shadows.

Obviously, as the number of Phantoms became more and more numerous, it was almost impossible for ordinary bandit bandits like this, which lacked spellcasters, to pose any effective threat to the caravan.

One of the bandits wanted to use the cover of night to launch a sneak attack.

As a result, before he could get closer, he was slaughtered by Yelinia and the Shadow Legion.

The people who were resting in the camp at that time did not even know that such a group of bandits existed, and they were still asleep.

It wasn't until I set off again the next morning and saw the corpses lying on the sand dunes two or three kilometers away, and the camels that had lost their owners wandering aimlessly, that I realized what had happened last night.

As for the mercenaries who were originally hired to protect the safety of the caravan, they had long been very conscious of taking on a series of messy chores including vigilance, management, and vigil.

Unless the employer Bernard asks for it, he will not easily participate in the fight at all.

They didn't want to be touched by those terrifying shadows, or suddenly burned to the ground by fireballs flying from behind them.

After all, fighting with an arcane spellcaster can be quite dangerous without skillful coordination.

You don't know what kind of spell the "teammates" behind you will release in the next second, and whether it will "accidentally" affect you.

In addition, Alena often uses large-scale and lethal plastic energy fire magic unscrupulously during battle, and her violent posture even the soldiers dare not approach easily.

Not to mention these mercenaries who only have "one life".

If there wasn't a paladin in the team, Zuo Si would like to summon the little devil who is immune to damage and cooperate with her to carry out long-range bombardment of the enemy.

But fortunately, after leaving the desert and approaching the densely populated plains, the number of monsters and bandits began to disappear.

Occasionally, cavalry patrolling back and forth on the main road can be seen.

Obviously, as the second largest military port and fortress city in Carlinshan, Mannon's attention to and protection of the trade route is far greater than that of Carlin Port.

Occasionally, though, these cavalrymen would take advantage of their power to solicit a small bribe from large caravans passing by.

But it's much better than the bandits and monsters who don't want to pay for it.

Usually, a money bag with 200 gold coins will satisfy their appetite.

After getting the money, the cavalry captain will not only help escort a short distance, but also introduce the caravan to the security and market conditions of Manon in recent times.

"I tell you, don't go near the Isis recently, and don't try to enter Myratma on the other side." …

The human cavalry captain, who looked to be in his early thirties, solemnly issued a warning.

"Oh? Why? ”

Bernard asked nervously.

There's no way not to be nervous.

Myratma was the only way for caravans to enter the kingdom of Tesser.

Unless you take the sea route instead, this is a hurdle that cannot be avoided.

The cavalry captain touched the slightly precipitated money bag and explained meaningfully: "Because a few merchants who escaped from there by luck said.

In the vicinity of Myratma, a red dragon with an evil army of orcs, orcs, ogres, gnolls, and goblins has blocked almost all roads and is rambling against all the surrounding towns and villages.

The local lords had tried to send an army to defeat it, but failed.

Six hundred professional soldiers, more than 1,200 improvised militiamen, the accompanying adventurers, and the priests sent by the temple were all dead.

There is not even a single person alive to get the news back.

It wasn't until the swarming refugees appeared outside the walls that they got the news.

Now, the whole of Myratma is in a state of extreme panic and despair.

Even tomorrow I wouldn't be too surprised to hear that the entire city had fallen to the Red Dragon and that evil army.

In fact, as the news spread, Manon had already entered a state of war mobilization a few days earlier.

If the terrible red dragon is not satisfied after sacking and destroying Myratma, and intends to continue south, we will ask for reinforcements from the capital city of Karin. ”

"Damn! Didn't the other lords of the Tesser Kingdom react to this at all? Bernard asked through gritted teeth.

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, the cavalry captain immediately couldn't help but laugh.

Not only was he laughing, but so were the cavalrymen who belonged to Manon behind him.

After laughing for several minutes, the former stopped laughing and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "The kingdom of Tesser has long existed in name only!"

A long history of war, strife, intrigue and betrayal has made the country's aristocracy very fond of killing each other.

Several of the powerful dukes were even more desperate to kill all their rivals and snatch the crown from the titular queen.

These stupid Tassels had gone to great lengths to separate from the Kalinshan, and in the end they only ended up with such a fate, and they completely deserved it. ”

It is not difficult to see from the merciless ridicule and sarcasm of these Manon cavalry that the history of the two countries is full of quite a lot of grievances.

Once upon a time, the people of the Tesser kingdom were originally descendants of the Kalinfir immigrants.

Later, due to many complex reasons and contradictions, a civil war broke out, and finally independence from the ancient Kalinshan Empire.

But then the founder of the Shaun dynasty, Aqaba the Elder, forcibly reunited the two countries over three generations through a series of marriages, murders, and violence.

However, as Sean IV offended Iveco LS Gran "Sharp Teeth" because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, the result was that this powerful blue dragon would go crazy for revenge for a long time to come.

The once-prosperous Shane dynasty was finally destroyed by Ivecole LS Gran's "sharp teeth" under the reign of Shane VII, and inevitably collapsed and decayed.

Although Sean VII was not technically the last monarch, there was another female monarch after Sean VIII.

However, historians generally agree that the Shane dynasty ended by this point.

With the end of the Shane dynasty, the Tessers region once again gained its independence.

At the same time as gaining independence, there was Amm further north.

That's right!

Both the kingdoms of Amm and Tesser, were once part of a vast empire built by the Kalinshan Shanchan dynasty.

Therefore, they are very close to each other, both culturally and by blood.

Even the attitude towards the forest elves is exactly the same.

The nobles of the Kallinshan saw hunting elves in the forest as a form of entertainment and pastime.

The elves of Amm were almost all killed or turned into slaves for the nobles and the rich to play with.

Successive generations of monarchs have been attacking and destroying the elves' homes, trying to kill them all, or drive them out of their own dominion.

Therefore, the Kalinshan people, who considered themselves to be the rightful successors of the Shane dynasty, looked down on the Tessers Kingdom and Amm at all.

Some of the more extreme guys even regard the latter as traitors.

All the Kalinfir monarchs who want to make a difference, without exception, will set their sights on the north.

Trying to repeat the old trick of using the old Akaba Shane, once again annexing the kingdom of Tesser, and even Amm further north. . .
