In a desolate area, the earth seemed to be stained with a layer of dark green dirt, and the color appeared particularly dark.

The magic in this area seems more chaotic and disordered than other places.

There was still a hint of poisonous gas in the air, giving people a feeling of oppression and danger.

Toby was strolling on the land, and as he walked, he seemed to step on something.

He subconsciously scraped with his legs, and a small, conical skull was revealed.

Just by looking at the shape of the skull, one can easily tell that it is the remains of a rat.

"Another one was found. What was this place before?" Toby asked curiously.

"I think this might be a battlefield for fighting against rats." The old man said with a laugh.

Ange nodded in agreement and explained while holding the Chocobo beside him, "Yes, judging by the geographical location, this should be the battlefield of the Purple Rat War. That's why there are so many rat corpses left here."

"Purple Rat War?" Swade looked puzzled. He had never heard of such a battle on other continents.

But if you think about it carefully, there are countless battles that he has not heard of. After all, the continents are separated by oceans, and the transmission of information is inconvenient. It is normal for such a situation to occur.

Anger thought for a moment and explained in detail: "That was the war that occurred when we broke through the rat barrier and completely connected the coalition army's camps to form a complete defense circle.

However, the main force in that war wasn't our coalition forces. Instead, we cleverly guided the true world enemy—the Void—to fight against the rats, which ultimately tore through their defenses."

"Because the Void appears purple overall, this war is simply called the Purple Rat War."

It was because of this war that the magic of this land became so chaotic.

After all, one side believes in an evil god, and the other side is even more evil than the evil god. The fierce battle between the two sides has had a great impact on the magic of this land. It is not surprising that this situation has occurred.

Moreover, the number of rats that died in this battle was simply too great.

In addition, the other side of the battle was the [Void], and a large number of rat corpses were buried in this land.

Given the number of Night's Watch and the Allied Forces, even if they tried their best, they would not be able to clear all the corpses in the area.

After clearing about seven or eight tenths of the corpses, everyone simply cast a large-scale earth magic, temporarily turning the entire land into a swamp, swallowing up and burying all the remaining corpses.

After all, the remaining bones no longer contained any traces of the evil gods from the outside world, so they could simply be allowed to return to the embrace of the world. At least that was what the mages who cast the spell thought at the time.

"Is the scope of this battle so large?" Lisa Lisa asked puzzledly.

They started walking yesterday at noon and saw buried corpses on this desolate land from time to time. They can still see them now.

Tyr nodded and said, "Of course. This battle severely damaged the rats, with millions of them killed or injured.

You know, for rats, being injured basically means death."

When Toby heard that so many mice had died here, his hair stood on end.

Even if rats are an evil race, such a huge number of deaths is still chilling.

"I can see now." Jondalen, who was walking in front, suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, the others all looked slightly forward. At the edge of their vision, they saw a towering black wall like a mountain rising from the ground, reaching into the sky.

Because the distance was too far, they could not see its entire picture, but just the vague outline was enough to make people feel its hugeness.

This wall occupied almost half of the visual boundary, as if separating heaven and earth. Previously, everyone had been chatting along the way and had not paid much attention to their surroundings.

Seeing this scene, Toby and others stood there for a moment, their mouths wide open, looking up at the black wall with shock on their faces.

What an outrageous building! It's as if someone has erected a black wall at the edge of the world, towering into the clouds, as if it's about to burst through the sky. Is this something humans could truly build?
"Shocking, right?" Weil asked.

Toby and the others nodded blankly, unable to find the right words to describe their inner feelings.

"Is that the creation of the Night's Watch - the Black Tower?" Sward muttered to himself.

When this trial tower was first built, it attracted the attention of almost all the powerful people in the world.

Its height and scale are so exaggerated that it is hard to imagine. Once the news came out, it immediately became the most important topic of conversation among people and spread quickly everywhere.

Thanks to the efforts of businessmen, the news spread almost all over the world in less than half a year.

However, many residents of other continents did not believe such a thing at first, as it sounded too outrageous.

But as more and more people confirmed it personally, and the Night Watch itself was quite famous, gradually more and more people became fascinated by this mysterious tower and wanted to see it with their own eyes.

To a certain extent, Swade and others decided to come here because they heard the news.

"It's really shocking when viewed from a distance, but to be honest, it makes people feel quite depressed when viewed up close," Weil couldn't help but complain.

She wasn't kidding. After all, it was a tall black wall that reached into the sky, and the residents of the city below the Trial Tower were often blocked from the sunlight by the wall.

Throughout the day, you can only feel the sunlight half of the time.

Moreover, every day when you look up, you can see such a huge and depressing building that stretches as far as the eye can see. If you are not used to it, it will really make you feel very uncomfortable.

"Tsk, this just shows that you are too fragile. Every time I see it, I can't help but feel overwhelmed." Tyr said with a hint of pride.

After all, such a magnificent building was built by the Night's Watch. As a member of the Night's Watch, how could Tyr not feel proud and excited?

There were many people like him. This was one of the reasons why the Trial Tower was designed so exaggeratedly when it was first built.

"So, are we almost there?" asked Lisa Lisa, who was now becoming more and more curious about the Night Watch.

"What are you thinking about? It's still early. We've only just seen the tower. Even if we were riding a Chocobo, it would take us two days and one night to reach the tower.

If we were to walk on our own, it would probably take us a week."

"Ah? It's still that far?" Toby was a little surprised. They had been walking for a long time.

"You have to know that we are now deep in the rear area of the rat tide and are already on the other side of the continent. As the saying goes, 'a horse will die if it is too far ahead'. Isn't this the same feeling as we are heading towards the Tower of Trials? It's still a long way to go." Tyr shrugged and said.

At that moment, Higan, who was riding on the Chocobo—or, more accurately, squatting on it—waggled her tail excitedly. She rarely spoke, saying, "It's okay. There are plenty of people along the way. We'll have plenty of food and drink, and we'll even have a place to sleep." This was the journey she had been looking forward to.

Being able to see the Tower of Trials means that they have basically entered the area controlled by the Allied Forces.

Urban reconstruction work is being actively carried out here, and areas that were once destroyed and occupied are gradually recovering.

Along the way, there are many strongholds, cities and rest stations. If you are lucky, you may even encounter the Night Watch's supply transport team.

"Can we really join the Night's Watch?" Zahanu couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. The leader has already agreed, so there's nothing to worry about." (End of this chapter)
