486 Three Brothers

The dense forest, impenetrable to the eye, stretched from one end of the plain to the tails of the mountains, and within the forest, only a single narrow path was passable. Three young horsemen proceeded with great caution through the woods, the denser the forest, the more likely there were unknown dangers lurking.

"This path leads to the Bowl's Mouth Pass. Once we're past the Bowl's Mouth Pass, we'll be at Mount Ranji. There's only this one path leading into the mountain from the south," said a simple-faced young man leading the way.

"Mount Ranji, nestled within the great mountains in a remote northeastern area, is indeed easy to defend but hard to attack. Other territories have changed Lords several times over the past sixty years, but the Lord of Mount Ranji has never changed. It would be a deadly hassle for outsiders to try attacking the mountain, just with logistical troubles alone," another dark-faced youth said.
