And that ’s how Michael came rushing back to Stormwind Fortress, especially when he heard from Tina that one the two targets of the punitive force, is the Blood Forest.

*****

Sunrise Empire.

Located at the borderline of the eastern continent, surrounded by monsters at the west and north due to the neighboring Forest of Despair, then kingdoms and empires in its east and south.

The empire fortified its borders by constructing border towns and cities and organized militias or regular army in those places.
They constructed towering walls facing the kingdoms and empires in the east and south.

Meanwhile, the north and west frontier that ’s facing the Forest of Despair doesn ’t have the protection of a huge wall.

Because for them, the north and west frontier doesn ’t need a huge wall, because the most important point for them is that they can send their new recruits here to baptize themselves in battles, and at the same time, it ’s also where their soldiers could continuously hone themselves so that their abilities and skills wouldn ’t get rusty as there are no wars happening in the continent, except for the occasional monster hordes and small monster raids.

This is the reason why the Sunrise Empire is considered a superpower in the whole Nevareth, and it ’s all thanks to their battle hardened soldiers that always faces the brunt of the monsters coming out from the Forest of Despair.

But the drawback on this is that their current status quo is also taking a huge toll on their population, but the good thing is that humans are innately lustful, and that there would be at least multiple babies being born almost everyday in the empire.

The upcoming punitive force quest is led by a recently promoted general called, Ouki.
An up and rising star in the military, praised for his wits and bravery during the recent monster horde that boasted a number of over one hundred thousand goblins and hobgoblins which was led by a monster called the Goblin King, an event that happened in a different military fortress called, Arean.

And Ouki got promoted because he had bravely led a cavalry charge which resulted in the Goblin King getting killed under his glaive even when they were under the barrage of monsters on all sides.

A cavalry charge wouldn ’t have happened if wasn ’t for those cowardly nobles that abandoned their post and led to the fortress getting breached from the northern gate, and if it wasn ’t for Ouki ’s quick wits of where he immediately allocated a unit of soldiers to temporarily hold the monsters off, then the horde would have reached the civilian area and started a massacre on defenseless civilians.

With no other choice left, he immediately assembled a cavalry of ten thousand strong that consisted mostly of elite soldiers, where they had miraculously killed the Goblin King in exchange of the lives of over seven thousand of their fellow comrades, who could have been their brothers, sisters, wives or husbands.

A lot of soldiers were promoted in ranks after that event, while those nobles who deserted their posts were immediately court martialed, where all of them were sentenced to death, executed in public under the eyes of hundreds of thousands of residents.

One of those nobles who were put to death was even the son of a Duke and even he didn ’t escape from his death, it just shows how powerful the imperial family is that a Duke ’s son wasn ’t even spared from his inevitable death..

After all, the Sunrise Empire despise the cowards and deserters the most, and no one would escape from death even if you ’re a noble or not.
