The Territory of Warcraft is located in the middle of the continent, completely separating the two empires of the east and west, and the many countries of the north and south from the prairie.

This also led to two empires that did not share a border, and hardly fought major wars. The two empires were very far apart, resulting in very few direct conflicts of interest, and such a big war naturally could not be fought.

Only once in history, thousands of years ago, an ambitious emperor of the Eastern Kao'a Empire, wanting to unify the continent, sent an expeditionary force of tens of thousands of people, after nearly a year's march, to the Western Odoli Empire. As a result, it was no surprise that the expeditionary force, exhausted physically and mentally and lacking in logistics, was soon almost completely wiped out by the Odo-Lai Empire's army, which was many times larger in number. Since then, the ambitious emperor of the Kaoya Empire has also put an end to the idea of dominating the continent, and the Odoli Empire, which has suffered from the invasion, has no idea of revenge, because if it also sends an army to retaliate, it will definitely be wiped out.

Of course, the two empires have clashed many times in local areas, such as the steppes, such as the Warcraft Lord, such as the kingdom principalities in the south. However, this is history, and now the relationship between the two empires is very good, and from time to time there are trade teams shuttling between the two empires to exchange trade.

The two empires were not without ambition for the numerous kingdoms and principalities in the south. It's just that whenever the two empires have ambitions for the south, the many kingdoms and principalities in the south will huddle together to resist the invasion, and suddenly the two empires will not dare to speak lightly of aggression. Perhaps in the minds of the emperors of the two empires, the area of the empire was already large enough, and it did not make much sense to increase the area of the country. So the two empires had ambitions for the southern regions, but they were not strong.

In the end, this situation has been maintained between countries.

There are many countries bordering the Realm of Warcraft, and in addition to the two empires and the savannah, there are two kingdoms and several principalities bordering the Realm of Warcraft in the south.

The Duchy of Pools, where Ryan is located, is one of several principalities bordering the Realm of Warcraft.

Next, Ryan looked up some information on wilderness survival techniques in the library, hoping to learn more experience.

On this day, there were still a few days before the academy's holiday, but Ryan couldn't wait, he decided to go to the Territory of Warcraft in advance, anyway, the academy didn't have a particularly strict management of students.

Ryan put on all his gear and went to say goodbye to Killis first, and after Killis kept telling him to be careful, Ryan went to say goodbye to Priss.

After that, Ryan set out on the journey without worry.

…………

On the deserted plains, the setting sun illuminates the plains, which have become a little yellow as the trees begin to wither, even more yellow.

The yellow makes people feel desolate.

As far as the plain looked, a whole row of mountains loomed in the clouds, and in the near distance, except for a few lonely trees, it was almost bare. The plain ground is basically grassy, but there are large patches of sand mixed with it, which is very ugly, like a bald head covered with pimples.

The cool breeze blew, blowing the dry yellow and long grass, floating ripples.

Autumn is almost over, and winter is coming.

On the deserted plain, there is a long and wide official road.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves on the official road. From far to near, soon, a convoy quickly galloped across the official road.

This convoy was very strange, it consisted of more than a dozen huge carriages and a dozen knights on horseback alone.

The carriage was so large that it took four horses to pull it.

This is the unique means of transportation in this world, and people can take this fleet of vehicles if they need to get from one place to another.

Ryan was now sitting in one of the carriages, and it cost him five gold coins to get a seat in the carriage.

The carriage is a little crowded, more than a dozen passengers are crowded in the carriage, can it not be crowded? Even if the carriage of this carriage looks big from the outside.

There is no way, Ryan is poor and can only buy this cheapest seat.

The seats in the convoy are divided into four classes, each with a different price, and Ryan takes the cheapest, worst, and most crowded fourth class seat. It is said that the most expensive first-class seat in the convoy is a compartment that can be used by one person, and the interior of the carriage is very luxuriously furnished, but the price is said to require hundreds of gold coins.

In addition to being crowded, the carriage also bumped from time to time, which made Ryan feel a little uncomfortable. This feeling reminded Ryan of the crowded train he had ridden in his previous life, just as uncomfortable.

Ryan has been riding this wagon convoy for three days. The carriage was very fast and very safe. Outside the carriage, on a single horse, there were more than a dozen mercenaries, who were responsible for protecting the safety of the convoy. Ryan could feel that the speed of the carriage convoy was at least several times faster than when he used to go to Skayas City as a mercenary.

In order to save time, Ryan was forced to take this expensive wagon convoy to his destination.

Ryan looked out of the carriage window boredly, looking at the depressed plains, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

In the Duchy of Pouls, winter is the best time to hunt Warcraft, and it is at this time that many mercenaries go to the Warcraft Territory and form teams to hunt Warcraft.

Winters in the Duchy of Pools are not very cold, even somewhat warm, except for the occasional cool breeze that blows the already somewhat dry weather even drier. This kind of weather is somewhat similar to the tropical weather in Ryan's previous life.

In the Duchy of Pooles, and even in the southern part of the continent, there is never snow in winter, and of course in the southern part of the Warcraft Territory.

This kind of weather is the best season for mercenaries to hunt Warcraft. Spring and summer, because of the humidity, because of the rain from time to time, it becomes not very suitable for hunting monsters.

Moreover, the Warcraft of the Warcraft Domain, although it is not cold in winter, a very small number of Warcraft will still hibernate according to their habits. Moreover, some Warcraft will have a decrease in combat effectiveness due to the season.

Therefore, a large number of mercenaries went to hunt Warcraft at this time.

After another day's journey, Ryan finally arrived at the destination of the trip, a small town on the edge.

In the Duchy of Pools, which is closest to the realm of Warcraft, there is a small town, which was originally called Guolin Town.

On either side of the town is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, separating the Demonic Beasts from the Duchy of Pools, and preventing the Demonic Beasts from running into the human world to wreak havoc. The town is located in the gap of this mountain range, like a door in the middle of a long wall, and like a level guarding the human world.

This town is a must for mercenaries to go to hunt monsters, and every mercenary who goes to or returns must come to this town. The mercenaries didn't like to call the town its original name, instead affectionately calling it the "Edge Town". Over time, the marginal town replaced its original name and became a proper name.

Ryan stepped out of the carriage outside the gate of the fringe town, and was greeted by a majestic and tall city wall and a huge city gate. The walls were made of large stones about the height of a man, and the height was at least seven or eight meters high. From a distance, the gates appear to be made entirely of iron.

Ryan was a little stunned: "This is too exaggerated. With such a big city wall and such a big city, how can it still be called a small town, it should be called a city. ”

Yes, the marginal town is very large, and with the size of its area, it is not known how many times larger than the small town in the Duchy of Pooles, and even comparable to some small cities.

Moreover, the walls of the marginal towns are so thick and high that they are almost unmatched by any city in the Duchy of Pooles.

No way, the edge town is located on the border of the Principality of Pools, and in order to prevent the Warcraft of the Warcraft Territory from infiltrating, the edge town is a militarized border fortress.

In history, there have been several large-scale Warcraft invasions, all of which were resisted by the military defense of the marginal towns, so that the Duchy of Pools was protected from the invasion of Warcraft. Since then, the Duchy of Pools has paid special attention to the military development of marginal towns, and has strongly advocated mercenaries to enter the territory of Warcraft to hunt Warcraft, making it difficult for Warcraft to develop in groups.

Ryan learns that the edge town has the army of the Duchy of Pools stationed in large numbers, numbering more than 10,000 people. That's a very big number, you know, the entire fringe town has a little over 30,000 permanent residents. However, most of the more than 30,000 inhabitants specialize in various mercenary-related professions, especially business.

In this way, the fringe town thrived specifically for the mercenaries to hunt magical beasts.

Every winter, a large number of mercenaries will pour in from the edge towns, sometimes even more than 100,000 mercenaries. This has brought countless business opportunities to the marginal towns, and all walks of life have developed rapidly.

The more than 100,000 mercenaries who came to hunt Warcraft may be a huge number for a marginal town, but for the extremely large area of Warcraft Lord, it is really insignificant, like more than 100,000 drops of water poured into the sea. Therefore, although the mercenaries are numerous, they are not worried that there are no magical beasts to hunt. On the contrary, the mercenaries who enter the realm of Warcraft also have to worry about not encountering hordes of Warcraft.

In fact, the edge town is still far from the Beast Territory, and it will take about a day to walk. This is a plain, and the mercenaries only need to leave the town, pick a random direction, and walk for a day or so to reach the edge of the forest of the Demon Beast Territory.

Thinking about the information he had seen in the books, and looking at the people who were coming in and out, as well as those who were waiting in line to enter the city, Ryan also hurried to the back of the line and waited in line to enter the city.

After four days in a carriage, Ryan felt physically and mentally exhausted, a feeling that was too much like what he had felt after a long train ride in his previous life. Ryan longed to have a bed and sleep for a day and a night.
