Chapter 296: First Battle in the Wilderness

The Northern Land stretched into the unknown distance. Marching northward from Otapan City for more than two hundred miles, the army entered the boundaries of the Pamus State.

The East here clung to the towering Eastern Madre Mountain Range. The moist easterly winds from the sea were blocked by the continuous mountains, resulting in a sudden decrease in precipitation and gradually sparse vegetation. The earth slowly lost its vibrancy, leaving behind vast traces of barrenness. Soon, the green highlands turned into gray-white wilderness, with yuccas and cacti dotted among the endless sand, appearing exceptionally magnificent and bleak.
