Chapter 5358: Primitive Grassland

The grassland tribe did not appear suddenly. If that were the case, it would probably attract the attention of all parties at the first time, and they would even take direct action against them.

The original grassland was a relatively special area. From the oldest history of Kunxuan Continent, the grassland was more like a vacuum zone outside of management.

From a certain perspective, the grassland is somewhat similar to the chaotic land where Zuo Feng first went after leaving the Ye Lin Empire.

The chaotic land is sandwiched between Ye Lin, Fengtian Dynasty and Xuanwu Empire. Some of the mountains in it will extend all the way to the ancient wilderness. The special geographical environment has created the chaotic land and become a buffer zone for the three empires.

The so-called buffer zone did not have a clear ownership in history. When the parties fought, it was occupied by all parties, and it was also occupied and governed by two or more forces at the same time.

As long as you think about it, it is not difficult to judge how many contradictions there will be in such a place. There are even several wars, which are caused by the contradictions in this area.

Under constant fighting and consumption, the empires could not always maintain a state of war, nor could they invest a large amount of funds and personnel in such an area for a long time.

After a period of consumption, someone naturally stood up and proposed a solution. The other forces had already had this idea, and everyone could sit down and discuss how to solve the problem of the chaotic land.

The three forces were evenly matched, and no one was willing to give up their own interests, but at the same time they hoped to provoke the other two to fight.

In this way, it became an embarrassing situation that the three parties could not reach an agreement and could not fight at the same time. If the stalemate continued, the problem of the chaotic land would only become worse, and the situation of the three empires would become more tense.

In this case, the ancient wasteland took the initiative to participate, or the ancient wasteland rarely took direct action, and only in this case would it openly take action, which would not cause dissatisfaction from any party, let alone cause conflicts within the ancient wasteland.

The ancient wasteland took action, of course, not a certain force stood up to fight for the interests of the empire it supported, which would only expand the conflict. The Ancient Wasteland was sent by several super sects, and their goal was simply to resolve the conflict.

There were many heated arguments among them. At least on the surface, the empires were fighting for every inch of land and every inch of profit, but if you observe secretly, you will find that the empires were already tired. It's just that they have been fighting until today, and the loss of face is more important than the interests, so each party will not bow down easily.

Faced with such a situation, the Ancient Wasteland could only propose that all empires make the same choice, give up the ownership of the Ancient Wasteland, and let it become a free land.

The three empires sent people to govern together. This option had been tried before. In the end, the empires not only fought each other, but also the fighting continued to escalate, and even the scope of the war spread to other places on the border.

As a neutral party, the Ancient Wasteland was in a relatively embarrassing situation. They were not allowed to directly rule places outside the Ancient Wasteland. This was the rule of the Ancient Wasteland since ancient times, and no one dared to bear the consequences of breaking this rule.

Since this is the case, all the forces and empires should withdraw from here and make it a buffer zone for the three empires.

The three empires are actually not satisfied with this result. The reason is that they can't escape the word "interest".

The location of this chaotic land is mainly the junction of the three empires. It is naturally also the place where all kinds of materials and information are exchanged.

Although the three empires have been fighting each other for years, they are dependent on each other. Because the three empires have different specialty resources, they have never stopped trading with each other even when the three parties are fighting. This chaotic land is an excellent trading place.

In addition, part of the Lingshou Mountain Range near the chaotic land extends directly into the ancient wasteland. At the same time, the Lingshou Mountain Range is also a place for disciples of the ancient wasteland to train, which is very important for all forces.

Therefore, no matter which empire directly controls this area, it is equivalent to sitting on a huge treasure, which other empires will definitely not accept. Then in the end, no matter how unacceptable it is, they still have to face the result that any empire must withdraw from the chaotic land.

Some people may say that the ancient wasteland should be peaceful from now on, but the fact is not so. Because the three empires have turned from open fighting to secret fighting. The empire cannot send people to participate directly, so they secretly support the forces within the empire and find ways to occupy the chaotic land.

In this way, the three empires have gained a relatively peaceful period. Since the ancient wasteland has set the rules, none of them dare to break them openly. That means that the power of the empire will not directly participate in the competition for the chaotic land. Even if a battle breaks out, it will not spread to the level of the empires, and the impact will be relatively limited.

But after such chaos lasted for a period of time, the three empires began to be unable to bear it. After all, the treatment given by the ancient wasteland was acceptable to everyone, and the only thing left to pursue was profit.

But the Chaos Land has been fighting like this for years, so how can they have any interests to speak of? Although the empire does not need to participate directly, the continuous consumption will make them feel the pain after a long time.

This time, the Ancient Wilderness Land does not need to come forward. The three empires chose to seek change. Everyone knows which forces in the Chaos Land are sent by themselves and which are sent by the other two empires.

Since they want to change, the three parties will show their sincerity. The three parties will directly withdraw the forces sent secretly, making the Chaos Land a real buffer zone.

In this process, some local snakes in the Chaos Land emerged like mushrooms after rain. However, under the mutual restraint of the three empires, these emerging forces cannot belong to any empire. If they have secret dealings with any empire, the other two empires will immediately wipe them out with thunder.

In this way, the Chaos Land finally re-established order, but this order was a state that was barely achieved in a relatively chaotic situation.

This situation lasted for a long time, until a woman named Li Shang appeared in the Land of Chaos one day. With her limited manpower, she directly subdued the local snakes in the Land of Chaos at that time, and the order of the Land of Chaos was re-established at that time. It was also at that time that the first city in the Land of Chaos, "Luancheng", was officially renamed "Luancheng".

Just like the change in its name, the entire area of ​​the Land of Chaos has undergone earth-shaking changes since the establishment of Luancheng. Although the local snakes still fight each other, they will not directly break the rules of Luancheng. Li Shang has become the cornerstone of stabilizing the Land of Chaos.

The Three-Party Empire naturally launched an investigation into the sudden appearance of Li Shang, but the identity and background of Li Shang is very secretive. However, the order established by Li Shang is very consistent with the needs of the Three-Party Empire. The most important thing is that the Three-Party Empire has secretly won over Li Shang and her Luancheng, but failed to make Li Shang and her Luancheng fall to any side.

I don’t know whether Li Shang is really smart or has some principles of her own. Her choice just happens to meet the needs of the Three-Party Empire.

If she really secretly leaned towards any empire, Luancheng would have been razed to the ground long ago, and she herself would have disappeared completely long ago.

Of course, the Land of Chaos is still the Land of Chaos after all. Caravans with strength here can move freely and complete transactions with other empires at fair prices in Luancheng.

As for those caravans with ordinary strength, they can only reach Luancheng smoothly if they pay a certain price. As long as they enter Luancheng, their transactions will be protected. As for completing the transaction and leaving the Land of Chaos safely, they will naturally have to pay a price.

Even so, as long as they can successfully complete the transaction and leave the Land of Chaos safely, the harvest is still very tempting, which also attracts many caravans with insufficient strength to take risks.

However, most people with insufficient strength can only enter the Land of Chaos, but it is difficult to gain anything in the Land of Chaos. They often end up with nothing but money. There are also some people who make enough money after taking risks once, but such people are really rare.

The original situation of the prairie is actually somewhat similar to the Land of Chaos. They became the trading area of ​​the northeast of the Fengtian Dynasty and the southeast of the Xuanwu Empire for a period of time.

However, the prairie is relatively vast, and the environment is relatively harsh. The conditions explored are very barren, so except for some trading towns, most of the prairie is unmanaged and barren.

In this area of ​​the prairie, there are still a large number of indigenous people living, some of whom are original residents of the prairie, and some of whom escaped from the outside world.

Because this land has no value, it naturally became an unmanaged place. Those fugitives who committed crimes in other empires, or desperate people who offended a certain powerful force, often chose to escape to the prairie in the end.

Although the environment here is harsh, fortunately there is no one to manage it. Once they find danger, they rush into the depths of the vast prairie, so that the pursuers often give up.

In order to survive in the prairie, these desperate people must integrate into the prairie tribe and adapt to life on the prairie. The barren land, coupled with the possibility of escaping at any time, these people can only learn to graze with the prairie people, and can no longer farm on fixed land.

Over time, these outsiders eventually became authentic prairie people. And in the eyes of the people on Kunxuan Continent, these grassland people are not even as good as the mountain people who hunt in the Tianping Mountains, or the herbalists in the Lingyao Mountains of the Xuanwu Empire.
