The wasteland is a mysterious place. This place is inhabited only by barbarian races and monsters. The wasteland has many ruins, tombs, cursed places, dungeons, etc. It may contain many valuable resources. Many small and large expeditions were conducted here in the past. But none were entirely successful. Because there are strong and violent monsters in this place.
And, the tribes living here are also aggressive. Also, to get to this place one has to overcome many obstacles. Which was not possible for everyone.
The environment in many areas of the wasteland is enough to strike fear into the mind of any normal person. It is a place inhabited by many tribes. One of these tribes is the ancient Serpentine tribe.
The wasteland is inhabited by numerous tribes but most of the tribes living here are barbarians.
However, there are some civilized tribes here, but they are not completely civilized. They are civilized compared to other barbaric tribes. On two sides of this wasteland is the sea, on one side is the Amiga forest, and on the other is the Frost province. Which set it apart from civilized nations. So the tribes living here are far behind others.
The ancient Serpentine tribes were a step ahead of the other barbarian races living in the wastelands. The reason was their leader, Leona Myari.
She is actually a fugitive from the Mung Dynasty. Although she looks young, her actual age is more than two hundred years.
She escaped from the Mung Dynasty and came to the wasteland, and after decades of hard work, she became the leader of the tribe.
She came from a civilized nation so her knowledge was much higher than the people living here. She used it to make many reforms in this tribe. She started farming and animal husbandry among her tribe which is very rare in this wasteland.
This greatly reduces their need to hunt every day. They also started trading with other tribes in exchange of various goods.
Due to her tireless efforts, the Naga tribe became a well-known and influential tribe.
Wasteland is not entirely unsuitable for cultivation. A number of rivers flow through this wasteland, making the surrounding areas very suitable for cultivation. The Serpentine tribe is situated along a river which is the largest of the three rivers in this Wasteland. It is a 700 km long river.
The ancient serpentine tribe has a history of thousands of years. Most of their houses are made of mud, stone, wood, bones of various animals, etc.
They grow a lot under Leona's leadership. Due to this, the size of their tribe becomes very large. In this, it grew like a city. Where more than four thousand serpentine live.
The mid-size city is surrounded by walls. The walls are made of huge animal bones and stones. There is a medium building in the middle of the city. It is well built compared to other houses in the city. It is like a small fort. Many snakemen and naga patrol the vicinity. It is the residence of the clan chief. All the activities of the tribe are conducted from here.
Leona is considered the most powerful and powerful of the tribe. They consider her as a demi-god. Hence she is worshiped by most of the tribes.
Currently, the demi-god is reclining comfortably on a feather seat. She is the wisest and most powerful person in this tribe. She was lying down and eating some fruit.
She is a medusa. She has snakes in place of her hair. Her body is half like a human and half like a snake.
She wears an eye mask that seals her immensely powerful Mystic Eyes of Petrification within the Bounded Field.
A soldier disturbs her comfort.
She gets angry.
"Forgive me, my lady. An emissary from the Kurt Orc tribe wishes to see you."
"Huh! The Kurt Orc Tribe!?"
"Yes. He said it was very important."
"Hmm... let him come."
"Understood"
The snake soldier bowed and left.
After a while, an orc entered. His muscular body was 9 feet tall. He has long elf-like ears and two large teeth protruding from his mouth. His body is decorated with many animal bones and skin ornaments.
"I'm Toner Jarviler. Leader of the Kurt Orc tribe."
"I am Leona Myari, head of the Ancient Serpent tribe and a demi-god. Tell me the reason for coming here?"
"It is an honor to meet you, Lady Leona."
"Hmm... tell me why you came here?"
Leona said with a grape in her mouth.
"You may not know. We have been attacked by an unknown force. We don't know where they came from. They have already destroyed many tribes and monsters. They will soon come to us too."
"Are you sure?"
Fighting between tribes was common.
However, it is rare for a single force to single-handedly destroy multiple tribes.
If that's the case, it didn't bode well for Leona. Because this force can also attack her tribe. Which she didn't want.
"Yes."
"Hmmm.... that's very interesting. What do you know about them?"
"They are very strong. According to reports from our scouts, they number in the thousands. If my suspicions are correct they may have come from the Amiga forest. But I'm not entirely sure. They destroyed five Goblin and four Orc tribes. They also killed many terrible monsters. Fearing them many tribes from the west have fled to us and many have fled far away. We learned from them that these forces called themselves Demons. And they work under the Demon King. "
"Impossible!"
All the people in the room were startled by Leona's shout.
Leona is shocked to hear about the Demons. She had heard many stories about daemons in the past.
A thousand years ago, the world was a very different place. Demons roamed freely, spreading destruction and chaos wherever they went. They were powerful beings, capable of great feats of magic and strength. The people of the world lived in fear of them, never knowing when they would strike next.
But then, something changed. The nations of the world banded together, determined to rid the world of the demons once and for all. They fought with all their might, sacrificing countless lives in the process. The Great War of a thousand years ago was a brutal and bloody conflict, one that would go down in history as one of the most devastating events the world had ever seen.
The war raged on for years, with no end in sight. The demons seemed unstoppable, their power seemingly limitless. But the nations of the world refused to give up. They fought on, determined to protect their homes and loved ones from the evil that threatened to consume them.
Finally, after decades of fighting, the tide began to turn. The nations of the world discovered a weakness in the demons, a way to defeat them once and for all. With renewed determination, they launched a final, desperate assault on the demons' stronghold.
The battle was fierce, with both sides suffering heavy losses. But in the end, the demons were defeated. Their power was broken, their hold on the world shattered. The people rejoiced, grateful that they had finally been freed from the tyranny of the demons.
But the cost had been high. The Great War had taken a terrible toll on the world, with almost half of the population perishing in the conflict. Cities lay in ruins, fields lay fallow, and the people struggled to rebuild their shattered lives.
Life after the war was difficult. The damage caused by the demons was extensive, and it would take decades for the nations of the world to recover. But recover they did, slowly but surely rebuilding their homes and communities.
It takes decades for nations to stand up again.
Since the demons were destroyed a thousand years ago. So the people of these tribes do not know what a demon is. Because they are barbaric.
But Leona knew how terrible demons were. She is shocked to hear about the Demon King and the Demon army. A thousand years ago demons destroyed many countries and even continents.
Also, the Demon King was almost unstoppable. At that time, powerful warriors of all nations gathered to defeat him. In which Knights King played the biggest role. who was the most powerful warrior at that time.
Toner said a little worried
"Are you all right, Lady Leona?"
"Ah! Yes."
Toner interrupted his thoughts.
"Lady Leona, I want to form an alliance. These demon forces will soon come to destroy us. Then they will come to you too. So we should work together. I have spoken to some of the tribes. A few of them agreed. I hear you have good relations with the desert tribes. So I hope you can get some help from them.
What do you think?"
What Fighting against the demon forces. The demons were destroyed a thousand years ago. But it could be the re-birth of the Demon King. If so, can we beat them? But I don't want demons to destroy my tribe. I don't want to lose what I've worked so hard to build.
I have to do something
"Lady Leona"
"Ah! Sorry. I was thinking about something. hm...I agree to form an alliance."
"As expected of Lady Leona. You easily understood its importance."
Huh
