# Chapter 115+116: Life at the Border
The border of the Great Wei.
The northern wind swept up yellow sand, surging across the cracked Gobi like raging waves.
Across the vast land, green was rarely seen.
At the foot of two black mountain peaks shaped like camel humps, stretches of gray-green military tents were stationed.
This was the Great Wei military camp.
The military camp was divided into four great camps, labeled Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.
Jianyi Mingxuan was in Camp Ding, and he had even obtained the position of squad captain, with fifty soldiers under him.
He had originally thought this was simply a border war, but only after arriving did he learn that it was because a Profound Iron Essence Stone mine had been discovered at the border between Great Wei and Great Liang.
The two countries had erupted into war precisely to fight over this mineral vein resource.
