Muyang Town (1)

"What are you doing?" Ye Lang asked, oblivious to Li Yue's embarrassment, simply asking what they were doing after stopping.

"You idiot, that's the way back, you have to go that way!" Li Yue knew Ye Lang definitely didn't know about her situation, so she simply pretended not to know and said calmly.

"Oh, I see. Little Lion, turn around and walk that way..."

"Roar..."

And so, Ye Lang set off for the Tiger Tribe once again, but this time, he had a means of transportation and no longer needed to run.

He didn't actually intend to use this mode of transportation for long. Once he left the grassland, he could find a carriage. As a Prodigal Son, he preferred riding in a carriage to riding a lion, and the reasons were self-evident.

On the border of the vast grassland lies Muyang Town, a major northern town of the Soaring Sky Empire, a relatively prosperous place and a trading hub for many nomadic peoples.

In this vast grassland, there are many nomadic tribes, and their numbers are not small. But coincidentally, Ye Lang did not encounter a single one. The probability of this is extremely low.

Ye Lang was undoubtedly lucky; he just happened to run into such a low probability event!

Outside Muyang Town, a troop of elite soldiers stood guard. This was the garrison of Muyang Town, the Empire's Fifth Legion— the Greedy Wolf Legion!

The Greedy Wolf Legion is the only legion responsible for the northern defense of the Xiangkong Empire. However, the north is separated from the center of the Soaring Sky Empire by a large grassland.

This is not only due to the remoteness of the geographical location, but also the remoteness of the political power. The empire generally rarely paid attention to this part, which also created a phenomenon where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

The Greedy Wolf Legion is one such example. Although they belong to the Fifth Legion of the Empire, their independence surpasses that of any other legion, and they have a hint of warlordism.

This is a problem that the Xiangkong Empire has been trying to address, but due to too many other matters, it has simply let things continue as they are, which has only exacerbated the problem.

Originally, Soaring Sky Empire's territory stopped on the other side of the Great Grassland. The northern region was expanded by the Soaring Sky Empire later. Now it is clear that although the territory has been expanded, the governance is not yet in place.

However, the Greedy Wolf Legion and some local tyrants did not do anything openly. They have always belonged to the Xiangkong Empire, and they will obey the empire's orders. There has been no sign of rebellion.

At least not on the surface, so the Empire couldn't possibly send anyone specifically to handle this matter, let alone send another legion here.

Of course, this matter seems to have nothing to do with Ye Lang, at least not at the moment.

Even after noon today, the sun continued to shine on the earth in a way that was both loved and hated, and gusts of hot wind blew from the grassland toward Muyang Town.

"Damn it! I can't stand this weather. It's hot during the day and cold at night. Who did I offend to be sent to this godforsaken place for duty?!" A soldier took a sip of water and complained to the person next to him.

"You didn't offend anyone, you just don't have any powerful connections. Of course, the good positions are for those with connections and backgrounds. Those of us without connections and backgrounds are naturally assigned to the toughest posts!" another soldier said calmly.

"That's right, stop complaining. At least we're much better off than those cannon fodder sent to the front lines. After a battle, they don't even know if they'll survive," a soldier nearby said.

"That's true. One should be content. This place is not bad! Seeing the nomadic women from the grasslands every day is quite a unique experience."

"Stop being so lecherous, we are soldiers."

"What's wrong with soldiers? Soldiers need women too. I wonder what kind of woman will come today. I can take the opportunity to flirt with her."

"You can flirt all you want, but keep your eyes open and don't cause any trouble."

"I know that, it's not the first time, do you think I'm a newbie... Huh? There seems to be something coming over there, it's moving very fast..."

As they were talking, the guards spotted a shadow appearing in the vast grassland, and as time passed, the shadow began to grow larger.

"Wait a minute, how can it be so fast?"

At first, the soldiers didn't think much of it. Although they thought the speed was fast, they thought it was just average. But as they got closer, they realized that the speed was a bit too fast.

"What is this...?"

Finally, they realized that what surprised them was not the end, not even close to it!

Upon seeing the shadow appear before them from miles away in the blink of an eye, the soldiers were initially surprised by its speed, which was even faster than they had imagined. However, their astonishment at the speed quickly shifted to another aspect.

"Depend on!"

"Help!"

"Oh my god..."

When the soldiers finally saw what was coming, their reactions were strong and varied, but the one thing they all had in common was that they all stepped back and kept a certain distance from it.

Anyone who sees this thing will instinctively be on guard and keep a safe distance, because this thing is a ferocious beast, and it is the king of beasts, a lion, a tall and fiery red male lion!

Anyone would feel pressured if such a majestic lion stood before them, and ordinary civilians would have already fled in terror. These soldiers were relatively good; at least some of them did not run away.

Yes, only a portion of them. The other portion has already moved to the back and is using shields to shield themselves, remaining on guard at all times.

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

A slightly magnetic, yet approachable voice rang out, drawing the attention of those who had only noticed the lion to other things, such as the two people on the lion's back.

A boy and a girl!

The boy had black hair and black eyes, and his smile had a natural feel that made people feel friendly. He was wearing a cloak that was quite common here, the kind of equipment for travelers, but the one he was wearing was special, made of the finest silk.

If anyone noticed this, they would surely guess that this young man's identity is definitely not simple; he is certainly not an ordinary nobleman!

At the same time, the girl is rather cool, but not the iceberg type; she's the type who's indifferent to everything and everyone.

Like the boy, the girl had black hair. Her hair was shiny and smooth, and even when she tied it in a ponytail, you could still see how beautiful it was.

Unlike the boy, the girl's eyes were not black, but silver, which was quite rare and had a mysterious beauty. Combined with her delicate features, she was simply breathtakingly beautiful.

The two of them together give off the feeling of a Golden Children, which makes people envious.
