It was like a long snake lying on the ground, covered with knife blades all over its body.

Not only were the mountains layered and stretching for thousands of kilometers, but there were also numerous towering, blade-like peaks pointing towards the heavens.

“Chief Officer, do you mean that the underground river beneath our feet flows from south to north towards the Blade Mountain Range?” Noland Lee asked thoughtfully.

Sergeant Mars replied while changing his clothes:

“Yes, the flow from south to north is downstream. Moreover, the water volume of that underground river is relatively stable, with a swift flow. If it weren’t for the large scale of Undead Cult’s fleet, their extremely high load, and slow sailing speed, we would have no chance of stopping them.”

Noland Lee nodded thoughtfully and asked:

“What is on the other side of the mountain range? …Ah, I remember now; it’s the Golden Federation, right? It was mentioned in the Academy’s classes.”

“Hmm, it indeed is the Golden Federation. When the Emperor established the Modern Empire, he agreed with the Grand Sage of the Holy Hall of the Golden

Federation that the east-west Blade Mountain Range would be the boundary between the two nations. To the south of the Blade Mountain Range is our territory, while the north belongs to the Golden Federation.”

“Has the Golden Federation also been attacked by the Undead Cult?” Noland Lee asked.

“Well…l don’t think so.” Sergeant Mars pondered and then said:

“In the Military Academy’s curriculum, it was stated that the Blade Mountain Range is an insurmountable barrier. Underneath the mountain lies a turbulent underground river, dangerous quicksand, and scorching magma. The surface is a sand alkali land with stormy winds howling, the wind force is at least Level 12, capable of overturning a steam locomotive. The wind force in the sky is even more fierce; a hot air balloon would be torn apart by the hurricane on the spot.

“Inside the mountain, there are caves leading to the northern clifftops, but those caves are constantly harassed by the Undead Cult, and the exits are all on the cliffside of the north side of the mountain range, with a significant height difference from the ground level.

“So if the Empire wants to do business with the Golden Federation, it would have to go around the east side through the sea, taking the trade route within the nearshore area.”

Noland Lee shook his head and sighed:
