White bones lay exposed in the wilderness.
From west to east.
Humanity's spears turned.
Toward the Empire they had once protected.
Goblins, humans.
This war would never end in a negotiated peace.
Fighting broke out on the eastern front.
But Ye Qiyan did not appear there.
Because he had gone to this empire's Imperial Capital.

Ye Qiyan walked through the city's main gate, passing among countless Goblins.

Some could no longer see the Sun, while others felt cold.
This was the power of
