At the edge of Duke Kush's domain around Joan of Arc Castle, there is a place called Wild Boar Ridge. Once you cross it, you enter the Wild Spider Forest.
It's a place rarely visited by people, not only because the land is barren but also due to the risk of giant spider attacks.
If not for the nearby Mayo Mountain Mine, almost no one would live nearby.
Today, the dilapidated mountain path of Wild Boar Ridge welcomes a group of new travelers.
A thin line is drawn across the deep blue sky above the gorge, beneath the milky-white clouds, several eagles are soaring.
Leading the way are thirty soldiers wearing black cloaks, beneath which are silver-bright breastplates; the short swords at their waists clashing against the iron armor with a clang.
Many of them not only have red and blue ribbons but also have patchwork bags hanging at their waists, travel-worn like beggars who have raided an armory.
