Chapter 281 The Desert Empire
On the other side of the endless border mountains, there is an endless desert, and you can rarely see a little green. It is hot enough to dehydrate you during the day, and it is extremely cold at night.

The environment is harsh and the resources are extremely scarce, making the creatures living here complain endlessly.

But that's it, in the sky full of yellow sand, there is still an empire taking root here.

The Desert Empire, this is an orc empire, they didn't originally live in this desert, there is a history in it.

About 500 years ago, when the Red Eagle Empire was first established, the Desert Empire, as the initiator of the war, took the initiative to provoke the war and invaded the Red Eagle Empire.

I thought that the newly established Red Eagle Empire must be fragile and could be destroyed easily, but who knew that the first Red Eagle Emperor had unfathomable strength.

He led the Red Eagle Legion for three years. Not only did he defeat the invading orcs, but he also launched a counter-offensive and defeated the Desert Empire until it surrendered.

After the victory, the first Emperor of Red Eagle, that is, the ancestor of Yan Tao, was also a man not to be trifled with. He directly issued an expulsion order to expel the entire Great Desert Empire to the endless desert on the other side of the border mountain range. Set foot in the territory of the Red Eagle Empire.

Today, 500 years have passed, and the Great Desert Empire has also taken root in the endless desert for 500 years.

Black Sand City is the imperial capital of the Desert Empire. At this time, a team of more than a thousand orcs suddenly left the city and went straight into the boundary mountains.

Two pairs of eyes hidden outside Heisha City watched this scene.

"Do you want to follow?"

"No, it won't be good if you startle the snake. This is very weird. Let's report the news first."

"it is good."

The two pairs of eyes slowly disappeared.

Flying Eagle City, in the palace hall, a meeting is in progress.

Emperor Yan Ding was still sitting on the first seat, and the three marshals were sitting below.

"Your Majesty, in the past year, I have eliminated all the orc tribes outside the northern border. Thinking about it, there will be no such turmoil for a long time," Hayden said.

"It may not be for a long time. These orc tribes are like weeds, which will never be eradicated. We need to send people to investigate them all the time to prevent them from resurging." Yan Ding is not too optimistic.

He knew the characteristics of these orc tribes well.

"Your Majesty, the Forest of Despair has been safe and sound this year, and there has not been a large-scale outbreak of monsters," Gavin said.

Yan Ding did not speak, but looked at Yan Yu who was at the side.

Yan Yu rubbed his chin. Compared with a year ago, his stubble seemed to be denser and darker.

Of course he knew that Yan Ding's gaze was asking him, but this time he didn't complete the task well, so he felt a little embarrassed.

"Um, Your Majesty, I have also reported the mission situation to you one after another in the past year, so you also know... Hehe." At the end of the speech, Yan Yu smiled embarrassedly.

Gavin and Hayden on the side were confused, you were talking and giggling for nothing.

Yan Ding also had black lines on his face, but he still said: "So, in the end, you really got nothing."

"I was really looking for it very hard, and I even went deep into the Forest of Despair alone, but I didn't have any clues. I encountered several monsters at the peak of the liquid refining state, and I almost couldn't come back." Yan Yu said here. There are still some lingering fears.

The reason why the Forest of Despair is terrifying is that there are countless kinds of monsters inside, and their strength spreads widely. The weak ones only have the strength of the enlightened state, but the strong ones even have several peaks of the refining state.

It is said that there are still some sleeping monsters, which are even more mysterious than the existence of the peak of the liquid refining state.

This is why this forest is set as a forbidden area.

Even if it is as strong as Yan Yu, it will be dangerous after entering, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that if someone manipulated the wave of monsters back then, they might have left the Forest of Despair, and searching for it like this is not the way to go." Yan Yu said.

Yan Ding had no choice but to nod, "It's really difficult for you. There is no clue after a year of investigation, and it will be useless to continue. You can let this task go."

Yan Yu nodded.

"Gavin, I will launch a reconstruction plan to strengthen its defensiveness regarding the Gale Watchpost. This wave of monsters has reminded us that this sentry post is the last line of defense between the imperial capital and the mountain range that separates it. We ignored it before. It's important." Yan Ding said.

"At that time, you will fully cooperate with the implementation of this project, and it must be completed as soon as possible."

"I see." Gavin nodded.

"In addition, I got a secret report from the other side of the desert yesterday. In the past year, the Great Desert Empire has continuously had small groups of orcs enter the boundary mountains and never come out again." Yan Ding said.

"Damo Empire?" The three marshals became serious when they heard this word. Of course they knew about the historical grievances between Damo and their Red Eagle Empire.

"The spies suspect that these orc teams are well-trained, unlike ordinary mercenaries or adventurer teams, they may be disguised as the army of the Desert Empire, sneaking into the border mountains." Yan Ding said.

"Secretly?" the three marshals thought at the same time.

"But what is their purpose? Even if they want to sneak attack us, it's unrealistic. If they want to cross the mountains that separate them, that's nothing more than a dream, and it's impossible." Hayden said.

On this point, Yan Yu and Gavin also agree. If it is not possible to cross the border mountains, there is no need to worry about sneak attacks from other countries, and the Red Eagle Empire will not establish the imperial capital here.

"The orcs have their own motives for their actions. I just hope they don't point their fingers at our Red Eagle Empire, otherwise another war will break out." Yan Ding said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty is serious. It is impossible to overcome the natural barrier of the Boundary Mountain Range. If they really want to plot against us, they will not enter the Boundary Mountain Range. I think they have other purposes and have nothing to do with us." Gavin said .

I hope so, Yan Yu remained silent, he always had a bad premonition, especially when he thought of his mission of investigating for a year but failed, the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.

"The Desert Empire, why did it suddenly make a move at this time..."

Yan Yu frowned, and then said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let me go deep into the boundary mountains to investigate clearly, so you can feel at ease."

"Yan Yu, the boundary mountains are no joke. The outer area is fine, but the deeper you go, the more terrifying it is than the Forest of Despair. You don't know that." Hayden was shocked by Yan Yu's plea.

"I know in my heart, I won't go too deep." Yan Yu looked at Yan Ding and said.

Yan Ding hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, "Put your safety first, if you find something together, come back and report immediately, don't be impulsive."

"I see." Yan Yu nodded solemnly.

Gavin and Hayden looked at each other.
