Along the way, soldiers from the Tianhun Empire could often be seen passing by on horseback.
Tang Lan knew that there was still friction between the Sky Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire recently, and it was getting worse.
North of Shrek City is the border land between the three parties. In addition to Shrek City, the Tianhun Empire and the Duoling Empire have had many frictions on the border.
The two sides have continued to increase troops on the border for several months, which has led to this serious moment.
Recently, the Heavenly Soul Empire invited Mun En, the master of the Poseidon Pavilion of Shrek Academy, to smooth things over between their two empires and ease their serious conflicts.
But he didn't expect that Mun En was still in seclusion, which made things even more tense. Even the people around him chose to stay at home and go to live elsewhere.
The houses he saw along the way all showed the same results after Tang Lan's many inspections, with no signs of life.
This place has become a no man's land.
"Ahead is the famous deserted land. There are some instructions on the road. Please sit tight!"
Seeing the sun gradually sinking to the horizon, the car figure sitting in front suddenly turned to Tang Lan and others reminded.
Tang Lan had already seen the desolate land on the map. After passing through the desolate land, less than thirty miles further was the famous Qingshan City.
The reason why this place is called the Desolate Land is due to the great war that took place here when the Empire of Heaven and Earth split.
According to the historical records of Shrek Academy, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire fought here for three months after the split.
Both sides dispatched countless powerful soul master legions for this purpose.
For a time, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the earth was scarred. Even after so many years, there was still not much change in this place.
The most important thing is that many parties have made rapid progress in breaking through soul guidance devices during that period of time.
In the last period of time, powerful soul cannons were even used.
Ordinary soldiers would be blown to death in less than an hour if they were in it. It could be described as a real battlefield meat grinder.
It was not until decades later that the real reason gradually became known to the world.
It turns out that the Tiandou Empire was split into two empires, and the powerful soul guides used in the war between the two empires were secretly supported by the Sun and Moon Empire.
They are far away on the other side of the sea, selling their soul tools in exchange for various conditions.
For this reason, the two empires consumed almost half of the national power of the former Tiandou Empire, and also made the Sun and Moon Empire on the other side of the ocean unprecedentedly powerful.
In the end, there was a war between the two continents.
"Stop, where did you come from? Unauthorized entry is not allowed here, go back quickly!"
Tang Lan and others' carriage team didn't go far when they were stopped by a group of Tianhun Imperial soldiers blocked the way.
The leader of the soldiers rode a horse and circled the carriage for a long time before he opened his mouth to drive away.
"Go, you guys, lift up the curtain of the carriage for me. I want to see who is inside. There is such a big air!"
Seeing Tang Lan and others There was no reaction, the soldier captain immediately ordered in annoyance.
Subsequently, six soldiers went to the troika, trying to open the curtain of the carriage.
“Hmph, open your dog eyes and see what this is!”
However, the next moment, Ma Xiaotao's cold snort came from the carriage.
Tang Lan turned around and saw Ma Xiaotao taking out a token from her ring. The token had a lotus-like pattern on it and was made of pure gold.
The soldier captain took it and glanced at it casually, seemingly not paying attention. But after a few breaths, the guy rolled off the horse with a plop.
Later, he rolled and crawled to the carriage where Tang Lan was sitting, knelt down and begged for mercy: "I don't know that the adults are here, and I have eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"< br>
Tang Lan looked out through the gap in the window and clearly saw that the soldier's crotch was already wet.
This guy was so scared that he peed his pants after seeing the token clearly.
But even so, the other party did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing his subordinates standing beside him at a loss, the soldier captain immediately cursed: "You stupid people, why don't you come here and kneel down for me? Do you want to be implicated?" My own clansmen? "
Upon hearing this, the ordinary soldiers looked horrified and hurriedly knelt on the ground and buried their heads in the ground without daring to raise them.
“Forget it, you will escort us through this place smoothly. We are going to Qingshan Town to stay temporarily!”
Ma Xiaotao sighed softly, forgiving these people's sins.
"I obey, little man!"
The soldier commander gave the gold medal to the coachman with a respectful look, and the coachman handed it to Ma Xiaotao.
Then the man mounted a fast horse and led a group of his men to gallop ahead. As he walked, he shouted: "The Imperial Master is here, everyone gives way. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
His voice echoed over and over again in this desolate land.
The soldiers and generals of the Tianhun Empire could only stand respectfully on both sides of the road, not even daring to raise their heads to look at the carriage.
The Tianhun Empire has clear status regulations. It is a serious crime to offend the following, not to mention offending a great figure like the Imperial Master who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people.
Everyone knows that the honorary national master of the Tianhun Empire is Mu En, the current master of the Poseidon Pavilion in Shrek Academy.
It was the emperor of the previous generation who specially bestowed upon Mu En the position of Grand Master of Destiny in gratitude for his kindness, and also sent someone to forge three golden status tokens exclusive to the Grand Master.
Afterwards, it was announced to the world that anyone who sees the Imperial Master Jin Ling is like seeing an emperor, and can mobilize the three armies to kill first and then report.
It can be said that almost everyone in the Tianhun Empire knows that the national master is a senior executive of Shrek Academy.
This time, they should also go specifically to the Imperial City of the Tianhun Empire. For this reason, all soldiers need to give way to him and perform escort duties.
But after leaving the deserted land, Ma Xiaotao ordered these people to go back.
By the time everyone arrived at Qingshan Town, it was already sunset, and there was only a little red glow on the horizon.
But the small town here is extremely lively. If he hadn't known that this was a small town and looked at the lively scene of people coming and going around, Tang Lan would have thought that this was a small town.
The reason why Qingshan Town is so lively is ultimately due to the desolate land.
As we all know, the desolate land is a strategic location. Whether it is the Dou Ling Empire or the Tianhun Empire, as long as it occupies the desolate land, then there will be a vast plain on the opposite side.
Both sides can advance dozens of miles in a day, thereby gaining an advantage in the battle.
For this reason, the Tianhun Empire focused on building Qingshan Town less than thirty miles behind the desolate land.
Although it is a town, the scale of the buildings here is indeed comparable to that of a small town.
Not only are there a large number of troops stationed around it, it is even a logistics and supply place for the Tianhun Empire.
In addition to the soldiers of the Tianhun Empire, there are also a group of bounty hunters here. (End of this chapter)
