A top the mountain, there is nothing but barren expanse.
The ground blanketed in frozen ice and snow, surrounded by an endless sea of clouds.
While above, the sun radiates with dazzling brilliance.
The surrounding sunlight offers not a hint of warmth as Chun Fong opens his eyes to observe the breathtaking scenery.
"Wow, it's truly beautiful.
I've never flown this high before.
" Chunw exclaims, unable to contain her awe.
In that moment of encountering the sun, she feels a profound uplift in her spirits.
It is also her first time witnessing the sun in Marshall state.
Chinfong finds himself momentarily entranced.
The boundless sea of clouds stretching infinitely as if the entire state were cloaked in dark clouds.
Shinfong, there is nothing here.
Why did you come up? Chapter 336.
What alliance? Shinua was not naive.
She certainly understood that Shaun Fong did not bring her here merely to admire the scenery, as her brother had never been one to court a girl's favor.
The mountain peaked before them loomed like an insurmountable chasm, dividing the north from the south, with the landscapes on either side starkly contrasting.
The northern side was teeming with diverse races, yet devoid of significant powers, making it an ideal environment for their current needs.
As Chunfong explained, he produced a crystal emanating dark energy from his spatial ring, which was none other than the fortress core.
With a decisive gesture, he activated the construction and cast the fortress core into the center of the mountaintop, subsequently guiding Chu to the precipice.
Almost instantly, a massive black magic array unfurled around the core, causing the ground to tremble slightly as the undead fortress began to emerge slowly from the earth.
Facing northward, Chun foam gazed into the vast sea of clouds.
This location resembled the hidden garden of the Marshall State, akin to a zoo, untouched by major powers, a splendid molyu for development.
However, they could not guarantee that no formidable forces would discover the presence of the undead.
Thus, constructing the fortress here was the most clandestine option.
Learning from the previous misstep of the Goblin Kingdom s undead fortress being uncovered, it was imperative that future locations prioritize secrecy and avoid establishment within hostile territories.
A greater distance was inconsequential, as the presence of the shield mother rendered such concerns trivial.
"I knew you weren't so kind as to bring me here for the scenery," Chunwear remarked.
Her tone tinged with indignation.
"Well, that's more like it," Chun Fo replied.
A hint of amusement in his voice.
"What is the other race on this mountain?" Chu almost forgot that two races inhabited this peak.
"The other race resides on the opposite side of the mountain.
Do you wish to know its name? Follow me.
" Chun foam beckoned, leaping from the northern sea of clouds with Chunwa.
The surroundings quickly darkened again as ominous clouds shrouded the sky.
Yet the scenery below was entirely different from before.
Vast expanses of green trees blanketed the mountainside, and at the foot lay an endless prairie, a sight that seemed utterly inongruous.
Does such a place exist in the Marshall State? Chuna exclaimed in surprise, for in her mind the Marshall state was a desolate land of decay, perpetually shrouded in gloom, devoid of a single sunny day, and she had never encountered Verdin Flora.
This mountain is called the double-faced mountain.
The race living on the flourishing side is known as the Nana Monkeys.
But today, our objective is not them.
We merely need to conquer the rock tooth monsters.
Chunfong explained while soaring through the air, observing Chun<unk>'s curious expressions.
Didn't we come together? Why do you seem to know everything? Chunu wondered aloud.
The spirits have informed me.
You simply weren't listening.
Shinfong shot her a sidelong glance.
Really? Chun appeared skeptical.
Soon the two descended upon the mountain where the spirits kindly reiterated the information to Chunu, and this time she comprehended clearly.
The prairie to the north of Doubleface Mountain was called the Savage Prairie.
The region is dubbed the Back Garden and Zoo of Marshall State due to the peculiar and bizarre array of beastly races that inhabit it.
In the city of the undead, Bayou is presently receiving reports from the necromancers.
What? The race residing at the foot of the twinfaced mountain is the Minotaur Alliance.
Bayou's expression becomes somewhat peculiar.
How could there be such creatures as Minotaurs? Bayou holds a deep disdain for them.
Though this minur is not to be confused with the others.
According to the necromanceres description, there is no doubt that they are indeed minotaurs, monstrous beings with boine bodies and purple skin.
However, this is not the crux of the matter.
While minotaurs represent a singular race, they are surprisingly organized.
And the savage plains are home to numerous such races, including the Horsemen and the Centaur tribe, among others.
These relatively weaker races have formed an alliance amongst themselves and have joined the largest faction in the north known as the Halfforc Alliance or the Halfforc Empire.
This is a coalition of multiple races functioning under a parliamentary system.
Do not be deceived by the name half orc.
The true centers of power among the half orcs possess remarkable intelligence.
These half orcs are distinct from the orc empire of Hapuni state and do not belong to a single race.
Their strength far surpasses that of the Orc Empire.
Most of their groups are hybrids of various species, having gradually distanced themselves from their original races, ultimately forming independent races.
These kindred spirits among the hybrid races, unwilling to remain as sacrificial lambs, resolved to unite and strengthen themselves to establish their place among the multitude of races.
Strictly speaking, Inshi also belongs to the halfwork category.
Over the years, the gradual ascendance of the Halffor Empire has rendered them increasingly aggressive, even developing a technique known as bloodline extraction.
They began to seize and plunder half orcs from various regions.
And gifted individuals like Eni are exceedingly rare, even within the entire empire, which is why they pursue her relentlessly.
It matters not if one refuses to join the Halfforc Empire.
They will extract your bloodline and transfer it to other half orcs.
At its zenith, the half orc empire boasted the allegiance of hundreds of races.
Its power rivaling that of the werewolves at top the mountains and the vampires of the eternal night holy city.
This is a formidable force seemingly commanded by an emperor level entity far beyond what Bayou can contend with at present.
However, the outcome is not entirely bleak.
The henchmen of the Halfforc Empire are dispersed across various locations rather than congregating in one place.
Races such as the Minotaurs could be considered peripheral groups.
Their annihilation would not elicit the slightest notice.
Bayou remains uncertain of the true location of the Half orc Empire, but it is assuredly not within the Savage Plains.
The vast distance of several thousand km while requiring hours of flight for a king level being poses no challenge for those of Emperor caliber even within the savage plains.
This distance remains perilously close for humankind.
The mage association would never consent to such a transgression and a halfwork empire has not yet reached the audacity to provoke humanity.
It is well known that while humankind may lack unity, the mages stand in solidarity.
No ordinary race, unless seeking annihilation, would dare to challenge the mages of humankind.
The Orc Empire is indeed a considerable predicament.
Bayou found himself somewhat troubled, pondering how the current factions seem to possess substantial backgrounds.
Is it a prerequisite to have connections in order to navigate this world? Surely, the celestial beings cannot have exerted their influence over the Orc Empire as well.
Bayou immediately shook his head.
If the angels could effortlessly control a power backed by an emperor level force, they would have long since unified the world.
Emperor level entities are not commonplace.
A faction boasting even one such being is already among the elite.
Are the ta also considered half beasts? Perhaps not, which is why they are classified as an auxiliary race, essentially cannon fodder for the Orc Empire.
to proceed with caution.
It is imperative to thoroughly investigate the circumstances in the savage plains before taking any action.
Bayou certainly does not wish to confront the old while dealing with the new.
The tower must meet their demise.
