In fact, Rody very much hoped that he could just straightaway lead his troops to attack the Northern Roland Continent. It was not good for tens and thousands of the soldiers to guard the North and just wait for the enemy to attack.
The northern provinces of the Empire were not fertile. The land there was barren and was not suitable for producing food. For centuries, whenever there was a war between the two continents, that location would be the front line. Even if it was not the battlefield frontline, it was still the forward position.
For centuries, these provinces of the Empire were commonly known to the Empire as the war zone.
