Between the Karatu continent in the east and the Feren continent in the west, there is a vast and empty endless wilderness (also known as the nomadic land - a place belonging to the nomadic people in the grassland.

This is a desolate, arid and quiet land full of countless wonderful landforms and scenery. Among them are snow-capped mountains, steep and majestic canyons; turbulent rapids, and deserts filled with yellow sand; green grasslands and gloomy forests; rugged Gobi Deserts with rugged rocks and lakes... But in general, the most common feature of this land is that it is desolate, with no grass growing, and dusty sandstorms. Just a glance makes people feel infinitely desolate.

In ancient times, whether in the eyes of Easterners or Westerners, this boundless wilderness was the end of the world.

——And opposite the wilderness is another world.

Thousands of years ago, the magical masters of the Imaska ​​Kar Empire conquered the western edge of the endless wilderness and established several provinces affiliated with the empire. The Xianglong Empire at its peak also led its troops to the west and marked the eastern part of the endless wilderness as its own Anxi Protectorate.

There are also Sel's Red-robed wizards who have also launched many conquests on this desert. Until now, when this country is in decline, the Red-robed wizards still have a few trade strongholds on the wasteland. However, the above conquests and occupations are actually not of much significance - because not many people are willing to settle in this harsh wilderness for a long time, so naturally they cannot establish a stable rule on this land.

Therefore, for many years, this land connecting the East and the West has always been barbaric tribes, except for all kinds of prehistoric monsters, and Tukan nomads and wolf cavalry are wandering as they please. There is no order, no law, no country, and is ruled by barbarism and ignorance, and is unanimously despised by the surrounding civilized countries. However, Tukan nomads who have lived here for generations proudly call this land Taan, which means "the land of freedom" in Tukan language.

For medieval Westerners, the endless wilderness was once a place lingered by fear. In past history, some ambitious Khans planned and launched waves of terrifying "nomad tides" with their dream of becoming the king of the world.

——Countless short nomadic cavalry riding fierce horses and carrying bent bows set off here and poured westward into the land of the Feren continent like an ant colony. They rampantly raged around the territory of one country after another, using the most cruel means of killing to ravage every piece of land in front of the horse's hooves

Their devastating invasions have destroyed the prosperous cities again and again, the ancient kingdoms have been subverted, and the brilliant civilization has been exterminated... In the heroic epic of the medieval times, the nomadic cavalry wandering in the endless wilderness are like an extremely greedy and ferocious beast, staring at the Feren continent in the West, and may gather at any time and then destroy the entire civilization world in the next second.

No one knows when they will launch the next nomadic tide, and no one knows which hero will stand up and fight them off next time.

The Easterners' perception of endless wilderness is probably almost the same. In order to resist the attacks of nomads, they even spent hundreds of years locally building a Great Wall that stretched thousands of miles on the northern border, trying to keep these robbers out... Unfortunately, they failed in the end.

Fortunately, with the help of the Silk Road that crossed this wild land, especially the camel caravans traveling across the Silk Road, a series of prosperous commercial city-states have emerged in some places with the most superior natural conditions in the wilderness, especially the oasis on the edge of the desert.

Throughout the thousands of years of history, these commercial city-states born on the Silk Road are like lighthouses in the dark and pearls in the sand, bringing a dazzling light of civilization to this barbaric and ignorant endless wilderness.

Some of the most famous trading cities, because they are at the intersection of several major trade routes, even had hundreds of thousands of people at their peak, as well as countless magnificent temples, magnificent palaces, grand and beautiful theaters, noisy markets, ingenious gardens, and majestic fortresses, were portrayed by minstrels following camel caravans, and were depicted in gorgeous words and sang strings all over the world...

However, the wheel of history rolls forward, and the world always has its ups and downs. While these Silk Road city-states are still intoxicated by prosperity, the new prelude to the Age of Discovery has quietly opened on the beaches in the West.

——The adventure and struggle of famous navigators throughout the ages, the exploration and development of new routes have finally brought the distance between the East and West worlds, and played the first movement of the great geographical discovery. But at the same time, it has also gradually replaced the desert caravans with camel bells and bells in the past by the big sailing ships that cut through the waves...

The increasingly deserted trade routes and the gradually shrinking trade have quickly dried up the vitality and wealth of the Silk Road city-state, and eventually gradually became depressed and decayed, even deserted. The progress of Western military technology has also caused people's fear of the nomadic tide to quickly dissipate - as the Silk Road gradually depressed, after several centuries, this vast and empty endless wilderness has actually been gradually forgotten by other countries.

Among these forgotten commercial city-states, there is an oasis city located on the edge of the desert, which is the target of Marshal Fili Taylor's search for this time.

The city is not the largest, not the most famous, not the oldest, not the oldest, not the most wealth, and not very strong military power. However, it is a legendary tragic origin and its exquisite and rigorous arcane inheritance, which has made countless people admire it.

This is the new home built in epic legends, after a group of ancient Naiserel's First Empire, after going through thousands of difficulties and dangers, finally rushing to the east, and once again overcome all obstacles and struggling to build a new home - the Silk Road City, known as the "Desert Bride": Lixuan City

For dozens of centuries, the color-resistant remnants living in this Lixuan City have always adhered to their arcane civilization and stubbornly took root in foreign lands, so that this afterglow of the color-resistant civilization will not be extinguished...

But as time goes by, drought, war, depression and other fatal disasters arrive, this thousand-year-old watch and glory gradually heads to the end of oblivion. These remnants of the First Empire of the ancient Naserel, who are on the verge of end, have to bow their heads to pray to the magic goddess, hoping for rescue from that strange and distant motherland.

So, Feili's Xiangrui floating battleship embarked on a long journey of searching for Lixuan City...
