Nobody expected that the Nine Countries would suddenly descend into utter chaos.
It began with Yuan Country, where several key cities on the northern grasslands were overrun by the Demon Clan's army. The Demon Beast race surged in from the north, occupying vast stretches of grassland. More than four hundred thousand troops of Yuan Country, stationed in the grasslands, engaged in a terribly fierce slaughter with the Demon Beast race.
Speaking of these four hundred thousand troops of Yuan Country, their situation was indeed difficult. While the court and political circles of Yuan Country were embroiled in an intense struggle over the throne among several Princes, this army resolutely stood guard on the grasslands, halting the advance of the Demon Beast race.
If these four hundred thousand soldiers had retreated from the grasslands, no one would have said a word. However, they did not leave, and the army was commanded by a powerful Prince, the late Yuan Emperor's cousin.
