Chapter 1429 - 1429 Morning Star Empire (1)
1429 Morning Star Empire (1)
The Holy Dragon city’s actions caught the orc Alliance off guard. Although they were unwilling, they also understood that this was definitely not the time to officially start a war.
The leaders of the various tribes in the orc Alliance quickly learned of this change. After some discussion, they decided to follow the plan proposed by the great shaman. On one hand, they would temporarily stop the invasion of the Eternal Empire and the radiant Empire. On the other hand, they would send people to the Morning Star Empire to discuss cooperation.
However, before they could take action, the Holy Dragon City had already arrived at the target area.
At the edge of the continent, there was a dense forest that stretched on endlessly. Ancient trees towered into the sky, and there were countless rare and exotic beasts. It had been occupied by the Morning Star Empire for thousands of years.
To the other living beings on the continent, this place was a forbidden land of death. Those who entered without permission would most likely not be able to return.
To the outside world, the Morning Star Empire had always been mysterious. Apart from participating in the chaos on the continent 100 years ago and returning to the forest after being resisted by the three great empires, the Morning Star Empire rarely appeared in the world.
However, with the appearance of the Holy Dragon City and the continent falling into chaos once again, the Morning Star Empire would not be able to stay out of it even if they wanted to.
The maple forest ferry was the only entrance to the Morning Star Empire.
Other than the passage in the middle of this red fire forest, anyone who entered the Morning Star Empire from any other place would encounter all kinds of terrifying things. Ferocious beasts, strange flowers, and plants, as well as natural or man-made runic magic circles, would form an impenetrable defense!
With these defensive measures, the Morning Star Empire didn’t even need to station a large number of soldiers to ensure the safety of the border.
The morning dew had yet to dissipate when a crisp and melodious Bell rang from afar.
Through the thin morning mist, a team of about a hundred people could be seen slowly approaching. The dense water vapor had wet their cloaks, and the short-horned deer they were riding on let out crisp cries from time to time.
From the direction they were heading, it could be seen that they were preparing to enter the Morning Star Empire through the maple forest ferry.
According to the rules of the Morning Star Empire, the smoking vehicles of the three empires were not allowed to enter to prevent polluting the environment. If anyone violated this rule, they were bound to be severely punished.
It was precisely because of this rule that merchants would use mounts to transport goods, instead of other tools that could carry more weight.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. No one would find trouble in this aspect.
At the end of the stone path, there was a 50-meter-wide river in front of them. The river was so clear that the bottom could be seen. The fallen leaves drifted in the water, as if they were floating in the void.
After crossing this River, they would have officially entered the Morning Star Empire.
The old man at the front of the group stopped. He picked up a fist-sized rock from the river and slowly squatted down beside a green rock.
As the stone was gently knocked, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the clear river. Before everyone could see it clearly, they saw a wide back on the river surface.
At the same time, a huge head appeared, but it was hidden under the water, staring at the people on the shore.
The old man took a bag from the back of the short-horned deer, grabbed a large handful of air-dried worms, and soaked them in the river.
The giant beasts in the water opened their mouths at the same time and sucked these air-dried bugs into their mouths. Their bright eyes revealed a trace of joy.
When the bag of air-dried worms was devoured by the giant beast, its huge body trembled slightly, then it became quiet again.
“Alright, we can go up now!”
After calling out to everyone, the ten people at the front stepped onto the back of the giant beast. Then, the old man knocked on the stone again, and the giant beast’s body slowly turned in the river, swimming quickly to the other side.
The transportation process was slow, but there was no other way. If they did not cross the river this way, they would be attacked by the Morning Star Empire guards.
Monsters, rivers, and other strange things would attack those who did not follow the rules.
Everyone clearly knew about this situation, so no one showed any signs of impatience. They just stood on the river surface and waited silently. They weren’t afraid of those defensive measures, but they had a mission to accomplish and didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
After the last group crossed the river bank, they tidied up the goods and set off again.
The other side of the river was even quieter. At this time, everyone was in a fiery red maple forest. Fallen leaves covered the deep and winding road, and only the crisp sound of bells echoed in the forest.
Walking in it, one would feel as if they were in a painting.
Such beautiful scenery was rare on the continent, but it was common in the morning Star Empire.
The old man who had led the way was riding on a short-horned deer, chatting with the two people in the group as they walked. Because he had done business with the border residents of the Morning Star Empire all year round, he knew the local customs and practices very well.
“This road is about twenty miles long, and there’s a checkpoint after that. After passing through the checkpoint, you’ll reach the largest border city in the morning Star Empire, and it’s the only city that outsiders are allowed to enter.
You have to be careful in this city. Don’t rashly destroy the plants and buildings in the city, or you might be severely punished!”
As they chatted, the old man reminded them more than once not to violate the laws of the Morning Star Empire.
“Don’t worry, we know what to do!”
The one who spoke was a cloaked woman with a delicate and beautiful face. Even though the old man had seen many beautiful women in the morning Star Empire, none of them could be compared to this woman.
In addition to having a heavenly beauty, this woman also had a faint aura of authority, as if she had once held a high position, making people not dare to offend her easily.
“Sister qianhua, do you think the Morning Star Empire is really a branch of the elf clan?”
The one who spoke was another girl. She was slightly younger, but her appearance was comparable. Compared to the cold-looking Yue qianhua, this girl was obviously more lively.
If one looked closely, they would find that her aura was very shocking. It seemed that she was only one step away from becoming a king level cultivator.
“I’m not too sure, but according to the information we’ve gathered, they might be of the same race as me!”
As she said this, Yue qianhua’s eyes revealed a trace of anticipation. Ever since the savage war zone was destroyed and she joined the Holy Dragon City, the number of clansmen around her had been decreasing.
The elf race, which had once dominated the wilderness, was now only left with a few kittens.
Yue qianhua was naturally very worried about this situation, especially when the Holy Dragon City was about to establish a war zone. As long as they seized the opportunity, they could achieve something. Yue qianhua felt even more lost.
If she had enough manpower, she could apply to build a city of her own. Not only could she find her lost tribesmen, but she could also restore the glory of the elven race!
The appearance of the Morning Star Empire finally gave Yue qianhua a chance.
According to the information gathered by Holy Dragon City, the race that had founded the Morning Star Empire was suspected to be a branch of the elves. Although she didn’t know how they had arrived, it wasn’t important to Yue qianhua.
As long as the other party was an elf and was willing to help her, she would have a chance to realize her dream!
Therefore, when she learned that Tang Zhen was preparing to communicate with the Morning Star Empire, Yue qianhua took the initiative to come here.
She was full of anticipation for this operation, but she felt a slight headache when it came to the little girl beside her.
Ziyue, you must be obedient. After all, this is not our Holy Dragon City. Remember not to cause trouble!
Hearing Yue qianhua’s warning, Murong Ziyue shrugged her shoulders and said in a helpless tone, ” sister qianhua, you’ve said it so many times. I’m not a child. I know what to do!
When Yue qianhua heard this, she could only silently pray in her heart, hoping that this mischievous little girl would really know her place.
