Holy Dragon City's move caught the Orc Alliance off guard. Although they were unwilling to do so, they also understood that this was definitely not a good opportunity to officially start a war.
This incident was soon known to the tribal leaders of the Orc Alliance. After some discussions, they decided to follow the plan proposed by the Great Shaman. On the one hand, they would temporarily stop the invasion of the Eternal Empire and the Empire of Light, and on the other hand, they would send people to
Morning Star Empire discusses cooperation.
But before they took action, Shenglong City was already one step ahead and reached the target area first.
On the edge of this continent, there is an endless stretch of dense forest, with towering ancient trees and countless rare and exotic animals. It has been occupied by the Morning Star Empire for thousands of years.
For other creatures on the continent, this place is a forbidden land of death, and those who enter it without permission will most likely not be able to return.
To the outside world, the Morning Star Empire has always been extremely mysterious. Except for participating in the turmoil on the mainland a hundred years ago and finally returning to the dense forest under the resistance of the three major empires, the Morning Star Empire rarely appeared in front of the world.
However, with the emergence of Holy Dragon City, the continent once again fell into turmoil. Even if the Morning Star Empire wanted to stay out of the matter, it was destined to fail.
Maple Forest Ferry is the only gateway to the Morning Star Empire.
Except for the passage in the fiery mangrove forest, anyone who enters the Morning Star Empire from other locations will encounter all kinds of terrible things. Beasts and monsters, strange flowers and plants, and natural or artificial rune circles will make this place completely impregnable!
With the existence of these defense methods, the Morning Star Empire does not even need to garrison heavy troops to ensure the security of its borders.
Early in the morning, the morning dew had not yet dissipated, and a clear and melodious sound of bells came from afar.
Through the thin morning mist, one could see a team of a hundred people walking slowly, their cloaks wetted by the mist of water vapor, and the short-horned deer they were riding on made clear calls from time to time.
Judging from the direction they were heading, we knew that this group of people was preparing to enter the Morning Star Empire through Maple Forest Ferry.
According to the rules of the Morning Star Empire, vehicles emitting thick smoke from the three empires are not allowed to enter here to avoid polluting the environment here. Anyone who violates this rule is bound to be severely punished.
It is precisely because of this regulation that merchants use riding animals to transport goods instead of other tools with larger loads.
Just do as the Romans do, no one will feel uncomfortable in this regard.
When we reached the end of the gravel road, we saw a river more than fifty meters wide in front of us. The water was crystal clear, and the fallen leaves drifted in the water as if they were floating in the void.
Crossing this river is equivalent to officially entering the territory of the Morning Star Empire.
An old man walking at the front stopped, picked up a fist-sized stone from the river, and slowly squatted down next to a bluestone by the river.
With the gentle tapping of stones, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the clear river water. Before anyone could see it clearly, a broad back appeared on the river surface.
Also appearing at the same time was a huge head, but it was hidden under the water, staring intently 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 dried insects inside, soaked them and sank into the river water.
The giant underwater beast opened its mouth at the same time and sucked the dried insects into its mouth, with a hint of joy in its bright eyes.
After a bag of dried worms was swallowed by the giant beast, its huge body shook slightly, and then became quiet again.
"Okay, we can go up!"
After greeting everyone, the ten people at the front stepped onto the back of the giant beast first. Then they saw the old man knocking the stone again, and the giant beast's body slowly turned in the river and swam quickly towards the other side of the river.
.
The transportation process is very slow, but there is no other way. If you don't cross the river in this way, you will inevitably be attacked by the defenders of the Morning Star Empire.
Monsters, rivers, and some weird things will all attack people who don't follow the rules.
Everyone was obviously aware of this situation, so no one showed any signs of impatience, but just stood on the river and waited silently. It was not that they were afraid of the defensive methods, but because they were on a mission, there was no need to cause unnecessary trouble.
After the last group also crossed the river bank, they sorted out their goods and set off again.
The other side of the river seemed even quieter. At this time, everyone was in a fiery red maple forest, with fallen leaves covering the deep and winding road, and only the crisp ringing of bells echoing in the forest.
Walking in it makes people feel like they are in a painting.
This kind of beautiful scenery is rare on the mainland, but it is extremely common in the Morning Star Empire.
The old man who led the way before was riding on a short-horned deer and chatting with the two people in the team as he walked. Because he had been doing business with the border residents of the Morning Star Empire all year round, he knew the customs and customs here very well.
"This road is about twenty miles long, and then there is a checkpoint. After passing the checkpoint, you will be the largest border city of the Morning Star Empire, and it is also the only city that allows outsiders to enter.
You must be careful in this city and never destroy the vegetation and buildings in the city easily, otherwise you are very likely to be severely punished!"
During the chat, the old man reminded everyone more than once not to violate the laws of the Morning Star Empire.
"Don't worry, we know what to do!"
The speaker was a woman wearing a cloak, with a delicate and gorgeous appearance. Even though the old man had seen many beauties from the Morning Star Empire, he could not compare with the woman in front of him.
In addition to her beautiful appearance, this woman also has a faint sense of power, as if she once held a high position, making people afraid to offend her easily.
"Sister Qianhua, do you think the Morning Star Empire is really a branch of your Elf clan?"
The person who spoke was another girl, slightly younger, but her appearance was the same. Compared to the cold-faced Yue Qianhua, this girl was obviously more lively.
If you observe carefully, you can find that her aura is very amazing, and she seems to be only one step away from a king-level monk.
"I don't know for sure, but based on the intelligence collected previously, it is indeed possible that they are of the same race as me!"
When she said this, there was a hint of expectation in Yue Qianhua's eyes. You must know that from the time the Savage War Zone was destroyed to the time she finally joined Holy Dragon City, the number of clan members around her was getting smaller and smaller.
The elves who once dominated the wild war zone now only have two or three kittens left.
Regarding this situation, Yue Qianhua was naturally very worried, especially when Shenglong City was about to establish a war zone, and as long as she seized the opportunity, something might be accomplished, Yue Qianhua felt even more disappointed.
If she had enough manpower, she could apply to build a city of her own. Not only would it be possible to find the lost tribesmen, but she could even recreate the glory of the elves!
The emergence of the Morning Star Empire finally gave Yue Qianhua a glimmer of opportunity.
According to the information collected by Holy Dragon City, the race that established the Morning Star Empire is suspected to be a branch of the elves. Although it is not known how they arrived here, it is not important to Yue Qianhua.
As long as the other party is an elf and is willing to help her, then she will have a chance to realize her dream!
So after learning that Tang Zhen was planning to communicate with the Morning Star Empire, Yue Qianhua took the initiative to ask for help and came all the way here.
She was full of expectations for this action, but she felt a little headache about the little girl next to her.
"Ziyue, you must be obedient. After all, this is not our Holy Dragon City. Remember not to cause trouble!"
Hearing Yue Qianhua's instructions, Murong Ziyue shrugged her shoulders and said in a helpless tone: "Sister Qianhua, you have said it many times, I am not a child, I will definitely have a sense of propriety!"
After Yue Qianhua heard this, she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that this naughty little girl could really calm down.
