The Southern Frontier, also known as the Southern Wilderness, was a vast, desolate land stretching for countless li.
The terrain was mostly mountains and forests, with a few scattered villages. The people were simple and honest, their lives peaceful and content.
The Southern Frontier Army, stationed in the Southern Frontier, was responsible for defending against the demonic beasts of the Southern Wilderness. It was a small army, numbering only a few thousand people, and its soldiers were mostly local villagers who had been conscripted.
The army's headquarters was located in the capital of the Southern Frontier, Fengqiu City.
It was a small city with a population of no more than ten thousand. The walls were low and the streets narrow, and the entire city was surrounded by a dense forest. The scent of pine and cypress hung in the air, and the sound of birdsong could be heard throughout the day.
The Southern Frontier Army's headquarters was a small, unassuming building. The walls were covered in moss, and the signboard hung crookedly above the door. It was difficult to imagine that this was the seat of power of the Southern Frontier Army.
Chen Mo stood before the headquarters, his brows furrowed. He had arrived in Fengqiu City the day before and had already visited the headquarters several times. Yet every time, he had been turned away at the door.
"Let me in. I'm Chen Mo, the Duke Protectorate of the Great Yuan Dynasty. I've come to inspect the Southern Frontier Army."
"Sorry, my lord. Our commander is not here. He's gone to the border to suppress a demonic beast rebellion. We don't know when he'll return."
The guards at the door were polite but firm, refusing to let him enter no matter what.
Chen Mo had no choice but to return to the inn, where he had been staying for the past two days.
He sat in the main hall, his brows furrowed as he pondered the situation.
The Southern Frontier Army was a small army, but it was the only one responsible for defending the Great Yuan Dynasty's southern border. It was a vital position, and its commander held a crucial role.
Yet the current commander, General Li, was a complete unknown. He was not even a member of the Chen Family, and he had been appointed to the position by the previous emperor.
Chen Mo had never met him before, and he had no idea what kind of person he was. He had come to the Southern Frontier Army headquarters specifically to inspect the situation, but he had been turned away at the door every time.
Chen Mo was not the type to be easily discouraged. He was determined to find out what was going on with the Southern Frontier Army.
"Lord Chen, the Southern Frontier Army is a small army. Its commander is not even a member of the Chen Family. Why are you so concerned about it?" Xu Qingyi asked curiously.
Chen Mo shook his head. "The Southern Frontier Army is the only one responsible for defending the Great Yuan Dynasty's southern border. Its commander holds a crucial role. I must find out what kind of person he is and what kind of situation the Southern Frontier Army is in."
"Besides, the Southern Frontier Army has been in decline for many years. It's time for a change."
"Lord Chen, the Southern Frontier Army has been in decline for many years. It's time for a change."
