Stepping into Taru City, one is immediately struck by its prosperity, which sharply contrasts with the Oulan Empire. The streets are bustling with people, among whom are off-duty soldiers. All kinds of shops flourish here. It's astonishing how prosperous this border city is, something that perhaps only the Huarong Empire can accomplish. No one here worries about foreign invasions. After all, the Northeast Legion of Huarong Empire stationed here is nothing to scoff at.
Taking a deep breath, Nian Bing sighed softly, "Is this the air of my motherland? A motherland that perhaps no one will admit I am a part of." As a citizen of the Huarong Empire, he was here to represent the Bing Yue Empire in the Mage competition. For him, this was nothing short of ironic.
