Chapter 130
In the southern outskirts, the Armenian territory stands as one of the few neutral zones within the empire.
For lords eager to expand their domains, these neutral grounds are tantalizing prey.
Take, for example, the neutral plateau of the Dead in the east, which Count Zion had long schemed to claim.
And other neutral territories too were eyed greedily by surrounding lords, all seeking just cause to seize them.
Yet, uniquely, the Armenian lands remained untouched, spared from their covetous gazes.
The reason was clear.
The Forest of Beasts.
A bizarre forest from which monsters ceaselessly emerged.
Monsters, harmful to humans, yet if harnessed correctly, could yield vast profits.
Thus, upon the empire’s founding, many lords attempted to transform the Forest of Beasts into a golden grove, all met with failure.
The empire, unable to bear the disgrace, sent its armies to subdue the forest.
