After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

On the second floor of the inn, as he opened the window of his room, Chen Xing sized up the cluster of buildings opposite, fluttering with the flags of Fentian Giant City.

If it weren't for the instructor saying this was a military barracks, Chen Xing really couldn't associate the luxurious cluster of buildings opposite him with a military barracks.

The grand estates and exquisite buildings didn't seem to bear any trace of the austerity you'd expect of military quarters.

The white flags were embroidered with a Red Giant Dragon, its wings spread wide—this was the city flag of Fentian Giant City.

"Fentian Giant City has occupied this land for more than three thousand years, and all the cities in the Fentian Domain need to provide resources for the army of Fentian Giant City. A long time ago, this place must have been a barracks, but who wouldn't prefer living in a grand mansion over a barracks?"

Han Yuning chuckled, "Speaking of which, there's a funny story. Initially, when the church's judicial group of Fentian Giant City was inspecting everywhere, they found that the barracks of Jiu Chi City in Fentian Giant City had turned into a row of mansions."

"So, the judicial group prepared to put military officers on trial, but an officer stood up in the great hall of Fentian's church trial, arguing vehemently that a soldier's strength was judged by the strength of his Beast Taming, and as long as the combat power of the beasts was guaranteed, where one lived didn't matter. Did they really want all soldiers to be forced to live in hardship?"

Thus, the head of the judicial group and the member of the Chi Family who was on trial engaged in a martial trial, and whoever won would be deemed in the right.

In the end, the member of the Chi Family won, so the consequence was that the barracks of Fentian Giant City stationed everywhere began to follow suit.

After all, who wouldn't want to live in more comfortable conditions?"

After listening, Chen Xing found it quite amusing, "Instructor..."

"Outside, don't call me Instructor, call me Sister Ning," Han Yuning interrupted Chen Xing.

Chen Xing immediately corrected himself, "Sister Ning, is the trial by Fentian's church always so... out of the ordinary? Deciding right and wrong through a martial trial?"

Han Yuning emphasized a point, "Martial trials aren't always used, and mainly because the person on trial was a member of the Chi Family.

Moreover, Fentian Giant City is different from our place; they believe even more in the principle of the strong preying on the weak; rules are only there to bind the weak, and actually, behind that incident was also the push from the Giant City Guard Army.

All the armies stationed everywhere are dispatched from the Giant City Guard Army; who wouldn't want better living conditions when assigned?"

Chen Xing contemplated, "So, is the army maintained by Red Leaf City?"

"What else?"

"Then they are quite kind-hearted," Chen Xing nodded.

Snort~

Han Yuning tried to hold back a laugh, "You shouldn't say that in front of local residents of other cities."

Chen Xing wondered, "Isn't that just leeching off their backs, sucking their blood? Hasn't anyone resisted?"

"Of course, they have. Why wouldn't they?" Han Yuning said with a light smile, "When Great Xia first came to the Exotic Region and had just established Longbei City and North City, Fentian Giant City sent envoys over, saying they wanted to station troops in our Longbei City and demanded that we pay to support their army."

"At that time, General Bai Shaoyi was in charge of defending this area. He was a hardliner in the military, his stance always being that those not of our race must have different hearts, with the best people of Exotic Regions being the ones who are dead.

Upon hearing this, he turned hostile on the spot, and Fentian Giant City found it a good pretext to start a war."

Previously, because the battlefields were all within our Great Xia territory, due to the Exotic Land Passages, Fentian Giant City could only send a limited number of Beast Tamers across, but here in the Exotic Region, they launched a massive attack, with millions of Beast Tamers besieging Longbei City.

Later, at Baitu Mountain, the most intense war in history erupted, which you must have heard about."

The Battle of Baitu Mountain?

A thought flickered through Chen Xing's mind; that battle occurred a century ago.

But in the middle school history textbooks, the outcome of that battle was recorded—the Sky Burial that killed millions of Beast Tamers.

What is a Sky Burial? Legend has it that General Bai's beast was the Sky Sovereign, known as the King of the Firmament.

Some say it was a dragon, some say an eagle, others claim it was a serpent.

Opinions varied wildly.

Yet the textbooks recorded the Sky Burial clearly.

Millions of Beast Tamers along with their beasts floated in the sky, turning to dust under an immense power.

The sky rained blood like an inverted waterfall.

The blood clouds staining the sky could be seen from a thousand miles away.

After that battle, Fentian Giant City became quiet.

The smaller cities swarming around it also fell silent.

Not daring to invade for sixty years.

Until fifty-two years before, the last war that lasted three years erupted.

Since then, Great Xia and Fentian Giant City entered the period of peace that has been maintained to this day.

However, that peace is about to be broken, judging from recent turbulence; a new round of reshuffling is about to begin.

For a civilian player like Chen Xing, war is the quickest path to rising. Who knows how many people are looking forward to the Great Era.

The Great Era is about to commence, and it would be a regret to merely be an observer.
