Melanochelys.
A word that meant black tortoise.
People would just wave it off as a not-so-strong empire as it was ranked 3rd, but if they did so, then they are complete and utter fools.
The black tortoise empire was considered the most mysterious out of all the empires.
No one knew how many powerhouses they had, nor was anyone aware of the relationship among the inhabitants of that empire.
The only thing known about them was that they preferred to live in peace, just like their guardian beast, or guardian deity, as they call it.
Unlike the Golden Dragon, the guardian of Dracaris, the black tortoise wasn't that strong at attacking.
But its defenses and mind attacks were so strong that even if its notions of living in peace went against the golden dragon, it was never attacked.
