Chapter 409: Kingdom of the Sun!

Chapter 409: Kingdom of the Sun!

Central Continent, South.

A fully armed army marched southward, recording the geographical features along the way and drawing maps.

The knight leading the team was slender and looked like a woman.

The woman wore violet armor and held a black one-handed sword. She was one of the three ascended commanders of the Star Empire, named Messerka.

She was called the Crescent Knight.

As a country that relied on military deterrence and external expansion and plunder, the main forces of the Star Empire were divided into three legions.

Led by three commanders, they marched to the southwest, opened roads, built cities, and drew maps.

The three commanders were Gawain, the Royal Guard Knight who was stationed in the capital Angnas and commanded the central army.

Crescent Knight Messerka controlled the Southern Legion.

Lion Eagle Knight Remod controlled the Western Legion.

In addition, there were lords of all sizes in various places and cities. They controlled the situation and development of various places and had real power.

Including the two commanders sent out, they all have autonomy, and their status is similar to that of a vassal king.

Principal Xingkong is not concerned about the development of the rules and systems within the empire, and he leaves it entirely to the king.

However, the Star King has implemented the rule of law of feudal construction.

The so-called feudal superstition, the feudalism referred to by the word later refers to the feudal construction.

But Principal Xingkong, as a person from another world, spends all day in the tower studying the stars and magic, and does not understand the disadvantages of feudal construction.

You must know that on Earth, the feudal construction in ancient history often does not have a good result.

There are countless examples, such as the Eight Kings Rebellion.

The first person to overthrow the feudal system and implement centralization was Qin Shihuang, and this system has been used until modern times.

Those who know the pros and cons, such as Li Yuan and others, have already laid the foundation for the centralized system from the beginning.

Because he has long realized that neither the king nor the people have the characteristics of absolute loyalty to the gods, since there is a possibility of rebellion, then the feudal system must be avoided at all costs.

"Lord Messerka, we have reached a new territory ahead."

The female knight Messerka looked into the distance and saw a wasteland with gravel everywhere. The soil here was sparse and the vegetation was dry.

They continued to move forward and turned over the gravel forest. What appeared before them was a golden desert sea.

"What is this?"

Messerka was a little stunned. She had never seen this terrain before. The land was soft, the dust was everywhere, and there were strange rocks everywhere.

They continued to move forward, and traces of green gradually appeared in the distance.

It was an oasis, and a large oasis, right in the center of this sea of ​​sand.

However, before they could think about it, they were attacked by native creatures!

It was a bug!

Countless huge sandworms emerged from the desert. Their bodies were longer than snakes, they had no eyes, and only a mouth full of sharp teeth.

This sandworm caught everyone off guard. It jumped out from under their feet and swallowed several soldiers alive without paying attention.

Seeing this, Messerka took a step forward and cut several sandworms into two with the sword in his hand, but the number of sandworms was very large!

"Break through!"

Messerka ordered a forced breakout, and the ascended knights immediately began to charge.

Their legion not only had ascended star followers, but also many ordinary people.

These ordinary people wore armor and followed the ascenders through mountains and rivers. If they found a treasure land, they would stay there to build a city.

Among them, there were hundreds of knights who had obtained the power of ascension, and there were more than ten thousand ordinary people.

With Messerka leading the breakout, until night, they finally came to the oasis in the desert.

There were no sandworms here, and it was full of vitality.

Messerka let the army rest here, and she checked this strange desert.

With the unique ability of the star followers, she picked up a handful of sand and analyzed the energy contained in it.

"This should have been a green land, but for unknown reasons, all the moisture in the soil has been lost."

"And there are many sparse mineral fragments and stone fragments of different densities in the soil. Could it be that this place... was once a mountain range?"

Mesaka was stunned for a moment. She looked around the desert in front of her, and an indescribable shock surged in her heart at this time.

If this was once a mountain range, why has it become a desert now?

Apart from the gods, who can have such a great power to move mountains and fill the sea?

Or...is it related to those sandworms?

Mesaka's doubts could not be answered. As a result, in the middle of the night, the patrolling soldiers caught a local human.

The human had yellowish skin and a thin body, wearing thin yellow and white cloth. After seeing the armored army, the man knelt down and begged for mercy.

Mesaka came to him, "Who are you, what's your name?"

The pale and thin man raised his head, "My name is, my name is, Abul."

"Where is this place?"

"Solon... Solon, Oasis City."

Mesaka asked the man a few more questions and confirmed what he meant by Solon.

This desert, and the entire area outside the desert, are collectively called Solon.

Just like the location of their empire's capital is called Angnas.

The country here is called the Kingdom of the Sun, and their native god is the God of the Sun.

He said that originally there were mountains here, but the sun god used his supreme power to flatten the mountains and turn the land into sand, creating this endless desert sea.

This just confirmed Messerka's guess.

But the man in front of him couldn't tell what kind of power the sun god used to turn this place into a desert, but only told a few legends.

One said it was insects, and the other said it was the fire in the sun.

Messerka asked what the insects outside were, and he replied that the insects were guardians.

These insects would not hurt them, but would intercept foreign invaders at the other end of the desert.

Messerka turned his head and looked at one of his guards, "You will return to Angnas immediately and report the news here back to the royal city."

Hearing this, the man who was caught and questioned was stunned.

He raised his head and looked at Mesaka, "Then who are you?"

Mesaka raised his one-handed sword, "We are the people of the stars, following the trajectory of the stars to bring all lives under the protection of the Kingdom of Stars."

"We will not swing our swords against those who are powerless to resist, and women and children. This is the glory of our empire."

Isn't this... an invasion?

Mesaka seemed to understand the man's eyes, "Whether you like it or not, this is fate, the guidance of the stars."

The high priest of the Empire of Stars determined that there were other civilizations in the southwest by observing the changes in the stars.

So they headed to the southwest, and finally found the area indicated by the stars today.

Solon.
