The Territory of Warcraft is located in the middle of the continent, completely separating the two empires in the east and west, as well as many countries and prairie in the north and south.
This also resulted in two empires that were not bordering each other, and almost no major wars were fought. The two empires were very far apart, resulting in very few direct conflicts of interest, and naturally they could not fight such a major war.
There was only one time in history. Thousands of years ago, an ambitious emperor from the Eastern Kauraya Empire wanted to unify the continent, so he sent an expeditionary force of tens of thousands of people. After nearly a year's march, they arrived in Austria in the west.
The results of the Dolly Empire were no surprise. The expeditionary force, which was physically and mentally exhausted and lacked logistics, was quickly defeated by the Dolly Empire's army, which had several times the number of troops. From then on, the ambitious Kaouya Empire
The emperor gave up the idea of unifying the continent, and the Odoli Empire, which was invaded, had no idea of revenge, because if he sent an army to retaliate, he would definitely be annihilated.
Of course, the two empires have had many conflicts in local areas, such as the prairie, the Territory of Warcraft, and the southern kingdoms and principalities. However, these are all history. The relationship between the two empires is now very good, and there are conflicts from time to time.
Trade teams shuttled between the two empires to conduct exchanges and trade.
It is not that the two empires have no ambitions towards the many kingdoms and principalities in the south. But whenever the two empires have ambitions towards the south, the many kingdoms and principalities in the south will unite to resist the invasion. Suddenly the two empires dare not
It was an invasion. Perhaps in the minds of the emperors of the two empires, the area of the empire was already large enough, and it would not make much sense to increase the land area. Therefore, although the two empires had ambitions for the southern region, they were not strong.
In the end, this situation has been maintained between countries.
There are many countries bordering the Territory of Warcraft. In addition to the two empires and the prairie, there are two kingdoms and several principalities in the south that border the Territory of Warcraft.
The Principality of Purs, where Ryan is located, is one of several principalities bordering the Territory of Warcraft.
Next, Ruian looked up some information on wilderness survival skills in the library, hoping to learn more experience.
On this day, there were still several days before the college's holiday, but Ruian couldn't wait any longer. He decided to go to the Territory of Warcraft in advance. Anyway, the college did not have particularly strict management of students.
Ryan equipped all his equipment and went to say goodbye to Hellis first. After Hellis kept telling him to be careful, Ryan went to say goodbye to Pulis.
After that, Ruian embarked on the journey without any worries.
…………
On the uninhabited plain, the setting sun shines, making the plain that has become somewhat withered and yellow as the trees begin to wither shine even more yellow.
That yellow color makes people feel desolate.
Looking over the plain, a whole row of mountains in the distance are looming in the clouds. Nearby, except for a few solitary trees, they are almost bare. The ground of the plain is basically grassland, but mixed with large and small patches of sand.
It's very ugly, like a bald head covered with pimples.
The cool breeze blew by, causing ripples to appear on the long, dry grass.
Autumn is almost over and winter is coming.
On the deserted plain, there is a long and wide official road.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the official road. From far to near, a motorcade quickly passed by on the official road.
This convoy is very strange. It consists of a dozen huge carriages and a dozen single knights riding horses.
The carriage was so large that it required four horses to pull it.
This is a unique form of transportation in this world. If people need to get from one place to another, they can take this fleet of cars.
Ruian is currently sitting on one of the carriages. He spent 5 gold coins to get a seat in the carriage.
The carriage is a bit crowded. There are more than a dozen passengers crammed into the carriage. Can it not be crowded? Even though the carriage carriage looks very big from the outside.
There is no way, Ruian is very poor and can only buy the cheapest seats.
The seats in the fleet are divided into four tiers, and each tier has a different price. The seat Ruian took was the cheapest, worst, and most crowded fourth-class seat. It is said that the most expensive first-class seat in the fleet is
You can book a carriage for one person to sit in. The interior of the carriage is very luxurious, but the price is said to cost hundreds of gold coins.
In addition to being crowded, the carriage was also bumpy from time to time, which made Ruian feel a little uncomfortable. This feeling reminded Ruian of the crowded trains he had ridden in his previous life, which was just as uncomfortable.
Ruian has been riding in this carriage convoy for three days. The carriage is very fast and very safe. Outside the carriage, there are more than a dozen mercenaries riding on the single-rider horses. They are responsible for protecting the convoy.
Safe. Ryan could feel that the speed of the carriage convoy was at least several times faster than when he was a mercenary heading to Skayas City.
In order to save time, Ryan had to take this expensive carriage fleet to his destination.
Ruian looked out of the carriage window boredly, looking at the desolate plains, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the Principality of Purs, winter is the best time to hunt Warcraft. It is at this time that many mercenaries go to the Warcraft Territory and form teams to hunt Warcraft.
The winter in the Principality of Purs is not very cold, and is even a little warm, but the cool breeze blows occasionally, making the originally dry weather even drier. This kind of weather is somewhat similar to the tropical weather in Ruian's previous life.
In the Principality of Purs, and even in the southern part of the continent, it never snows in winter, and of course the same is true in the southern part of the Territory of Warcraft.
This kind of weather is the best season for mercenaries to hunt monsters. Spring and summer are not very suitable for hunting monsters because of the humidity and rain from time to time.
Furthermore, in the Warcraft Territory, when winter comes, although it is not cold, a very small number of Warcraft will still hibernate according to habit. Moreover, some Warcraft will have their combat effectiveness reduced due to the season.
Therefore, a large number of mercenaries went to hunt World of Warcraft at this time.
After another day's journey, Ruian finally arrived at the destination of this trip, a small town on the edge.
In the place closest to the territory of Warcraft in the Principality of Purs, there is a small town, originally called Guolin Town.
On both sides of the town are mountains stretching for thousands of miles. The mountains separate the Territory of Warcraft and the Principality of Purs in two, and prevent Warcraft from running into the human world to wreak havoc. This town is located in this mountain range.
The gap is like a door in the middle of a long wall, and like a barrier guarding the human world.
This town is the place that mercenaries must pass when they go to hunt World of Warcraft. Every mercenary who goes or returns must come to this town. The mercenaries do not like to call this town by its original name, but are friendly to it.
People called it "edge town". Over time, edge town replaced the original name and became the correct name.
Ruian got off the carriage outside the city gate of the edge town. What came into view was a majestic and tall city wall and a huge city gate. The city wall was made of large stones as high as a person. Looking at that height, at least
It is seven or eight meters high. From a distance, the city gate seems to be entirely made of iron.
Ruian was a little stunned: "This is too exaggerated. With such a big wall and such a big city, how can it be called a town? It should be called a city."
Yes, the edge town is very large. Based on its area, it is countless times larger than the towns in the Principality of Purs, and even comparable to some small cities.
Moreover, the thickness and height of the city walls in the edge town are unmatched by almost all cities in the Principality of Purs.
There is no way, the edge town is located on the border of the Principality of Purs. In order to prevent the infiltration of Warcraft from the Warcraft Territory, the edge town is a militarized border fortress.
In history, there have been several large-scale invasions by monsters, which were only resisted by the military defense of marginal towns, thus protecting the Principality of Purs from the invasion of monsters. Since then, the Principality of Purs has paid special attention to the small towns on the edge.
The military development of the town and the strong promotion of mercenaries to enter the territory of Warcraft to hunt Warcraft have made it difficult for Warcraft to develop in groups.
Ryan learned that the edge town has troops from the Principality of Purs stationed there, with a large number of people, reaching more than 10,000. This is a very large number. You must know that the entire edge town has a permanent population of just over 30,000. But this
Most of the more than 30,000 residents specialize in various mercenary-related occupations, especially business.
In this way, the edge town thrived specifically for mercenaries to hunt monsters.
Every year when winter comes, a large number of mercenaries will flow into the marginal towns, sometimes reaching more than 100,000 mercenaries. This brings countless business opportunities to the marginal towns, and all walks of life develop rapidly.
The more than 100,000 mercenaries who came to hunt Warcraft may be a huge number for a small town on the edge, but for the extremely large Territory of Warcraft, it is really insignificant, just like more than 100,000 drops of water.
It's the same as entering the sea. Therefore, although the number of mercenaries is large, they are not worried that there will be no monsters to hunt. On the contrary, the mercenaries who enter the territory of monsters have to worry about not encountering swarms of monsters.
In fact, the edge town is still far away from the Territory of Warcraft. It takes about a day of walking. This is a plain. As long as the mercenaries leave the town, pick any direction and walk for about a day, they can reach the Territory of Warcraft.
edge of the forest.
Thinking about the information he had read in the books, and looking at the people coming in and out, as well as those waiting in line to enter the city, Ruian quickly walked to the back of the queue and waited in line to enter the city.
After four days of traveling by carriage, Ruian felt physically and mentally exhausted. This feeling was too similar to the feeling after taking a long-distance train in his previous life. Ruian wished he could have a bed right away and sleep all day and night.
