CC. Set Sail

Early in the sixteenth month.

As the year approached its end, it was the coldest time of the year.

Even in the winterless Southern Country, there was a slight chill along the shores of Red Tree Bay.

After reclaiming the Great Wetland, the Emperor tried to set a cat among the pigeons by establishing a system of military merits, urging the Sub-dragon people of the Great Wetland to go against the Beastmen in the north.

Unfortunately, this strategy failed. The Sub-dragon people, with their thick skin and flesh, lived in a moist and warm maritime climate with perpetual spring but suffered greatly when taken north. They struggled to acclimate to the different soil and cold, their combat effectiveness decreased, and eventually, nothing more came of it.
