In the Orc Continent, in a tent on the East China Sea front, the heir of the Sirius Empire, Dean, said with a look of disbelief on his face.

"That's right, the Orc Continent, including some of the surrounding islands, is a prison."

Emperor White's eyes were deep and serious, not at all like his usual self. Dean hadn't seen his father look like this in many years.

Bang! Dean collapsed on the ground. This answer had a huge impact on him, and it even shattered his worldview.

He never expected that the huge Sirius Empire that had always been in his mind since he was a child, the vast Orc Continent, and his omnipotent father... were all in a prison!

The entire continent is a prison?

This sounds too magical, but what is happening before our eyes cannot help but make us believe it.

Dean looked at the huge corpses outside through the gap in the tent, his eyes a little dazed.

"I know it's hard for you to accept. In fact, I shouldn't tell you this now. You should wait until you can really take charge of the Sirius Empire and become the new emperor of the Sirius Empire before you are qualified to know these things. But man proposes, God disposes. I didn't expect that the guards would narrow the scope and even start to indiscriminately slaughter the orcs on the sea..."

White shook his head and sighed helplessly. Plans could not keep up with changes. He had planned to give it a try in his lifetime, but now, he was not given the chance at all.

White opened the tent and saw several huge and hideous corpses parked outside.

It has four yellow eyes, and looking into it is like staring into the abyss. Its head is like a crocodile, and its sharp teeth seem able to cut through anything.

Its body is like a turtle, and it looks indestructible. It also has six huge fins, each of which is bigger than a large ship! Its tail is like a whale, covered with ferocious barbs. No orc can withstand a blow from this tail! If Lucy were here, she would definitely scream out in shock.

Sea beasts, these are actually sea beasts! There are four of them! However, these sea beasts have lost their life signs and are lying quietly on the beach. The huge beach is covered with these four sea beasts.

Looking at the corpses of these sea beasts, White fell into memories.

He still remembered the emotions of disbelief, disbelief, and impossibility that he felt when his father, the former king of the Sirius Empire, told him all this when he took office that year.

But fortunately, at that time he was already the one and only emperor of the Orc Continent, and his mental quality was much stronger than Dean's now. He did not feel like the world was collapsing like Dean did.

Of course, he still suffered a great psychological shock at that time.

The great Sirius Empire was actually someone else's prisoner? This kind of thing is really hard to believe without seeing the evidence.

And now, those huge corpses outside are the evidence.

These "guards" originally lived in the deep sea and never set foot in the shallow sea in order to prevent anyone from escaping from the Orc Continent.

But recently, for some unknown reason, they suddenly came to the shallow sea area. The orcs who made a living by fishing were the first to suffer. A large number of orcs died, which immediately attracted the attention of the Danga Kingdom, which was geographically close to the sea. Yes, it was the Danga Kingdom on the other side of the Sunset Mountains.

After the Danga Kingdom discovered that a large number of orc fishermen were missing, they immediately launched an investigation. They initially thought they had encountered pirates, but when they arrived at the sea, not to mention pirates, they couldn't even see a bird.

Just when they thought they were going to return empty-handed, a huge monster appeared under their fleet.

The orcs were very strong, but when facing these monsters, they were as weak as human babies. The monsters destroyed the entire fleet without any effort.

But this is the fleet of the Danga Kingdom, a formal navy. They have rich experience in naval combat, so it is naturally impossible for them to keep all the ships together. Those destroyed ships were the main fleet, and there were some other ships within a certain distance around them for support.

Although the monster destroyed the main fleet with just a few bites, it either didn't see them or didn't care about these little bugs, so it ignored the supporting ships, which forced these ships to come back and report the incident.

A huge monster? It ate an entire fleet in just a few bites? The King of Danga Kingdom knew that this was not something their small Danga Kingdom could handle, so he quickly reported it to the Sirius Empire.

The Sirius Empire arrived faster than he had imagined. A large number of Flying Wolf Riders arrived that day, and the leader was actually Emperor White! The last time he saw Emperor White was during the ranking battle reward ten years ago!

Bennett immediately realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately, after the Sirius Empire came here, it took over all the affairs of the East China Sea. Bennett actually didn't know what the specific situation was now.

"Many years ago, our ancestors participated in a great war, and the result... our ancestors lost. Losing naturally means paying a price, and the price needs to be borne by us, the descendants! As a punishment for the defeated party, the descendants of our ancestors can only live in a prison for generations, and can never get out! And this prison is the Orc Continent..."

King White spoke in a serious tone about a secret that could cause a huge stir.

"The reason why this is called a prison is because the Orc Continent is surrounded by the sea. In the deep sea area, there is a kind of guards. They are terrifyingly powerful and numerous. Anyone who wants to cross the deep sea will be hunted down by the guards. No orcs have ever been able to cross the deep sea, not even if they are riding on a flying wolf. Those guards can attack into the sky!"

White looked at Dean, who looked a little dazed, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Haven't you always wondered why our Sirius Empire holds a fratricidal ranking war every ten years?"

Dean suddenly came to his senses and looked at White in disbelief.

"It seems that you have guessed it. Yes, the resources of the Orc Continent are limited. If nothing unexpected happens, one day in the future, our Orc Continent will surely decline due to resource depletion. Therefore, as the most powerful country in the Orc Continent, we naturally have to control the population and not let the population consume too much resources..."

"Moreover, every emperor has a dream, that is, one day, we can break out of the Orc Continent and see what the outside world looks like. We need these orcs to always maintain their combat effectiveness and be able to be of use when we need them. Therefore, war is a must. Only after going through the trials of blood and fire can they become true warriors!"

White paused, and after seeing that Dean was listening carefully, he continued:

"However, the above are not the main reasons. The main reason is that our Orc Continent is a cursed continent! This is also the fundamental reason why it is called a prison!"

"curse?"

Dean muttered.

"That's right, a curse! Our Orc Continent was cursed by the victors back then. They cursed this land to be barren, desolate, and with a bad environment! They cursed that no matter how many races there are here, the total population of this continent must not exceed 100 million. If it exceeds 100 million, the entire continent will be destroyed!"

White took a deep breath.

"This is the fundamental reason for the ranking war. If we don't consume the population and continue to develop without limit, not to mention that we don't have enough resources, we may be destroyed before the resources are consumed! Although no one knows how this destruction will be, or even whether this terrible curse will take effect, we dare not gamble, so maintaining the population is something that must be done..."

After hearing what White said, Dean inexplicably fell into a state of despair.

Through White's description, the opponents who defeated their ancestors were undoubtedly very powerful. Their ancestors had not been able to defeat such opponents. Their generation was not as glorious as their ancestors'. How could they possibly defeat their opponents?

Dean thought that what White said about cultivating the fighting power of these orcs was a drop in the bucket. After all, the Flying Wolf Riders of the Heavenly Wolf Empire had paid a certain price to kill these terrifying "guards". Those ordinary orcs might not even be able to beat the guards, so how could they possibly defeat the masters of these guards! "Dean, you are scared."

White sensed Dean's emotions and suddenly spoke up.

"I……"

Dean wanted to deny that the orcs of their Sirius Empire would not feel fear, but he soon found that he was really scared! He couldn't find a reason to defend himself because he had seen with his own eyes how strong the fighting power of these guards was. He heard from his father that there were countless such guards in the deep sea! "It's normal to be afraid. You don't have to feel guilty. If you are not afraid, then there is no difference between you and those guards! But what I want to tell you is that you should never give up until the last moment! I can understand that they curse our land, but why do they want to limit our population? What does this mean? It means that they know that we have the strength to fight back, and they are afraid that we will escape from prison after we grow stronger!"

White squatted down, patted Dean on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"I...thank you, father!"

White is indeed the old emperor. Dean suddenly understood. Yes, since they restrict our population, it means they are afraid of us! But...

"It's just that our population is limited. The population of the entire continent cannot exceed 100 million. This means that 100 million orcs can't make any waves in front of them. So we still have no choice. We still have no chance to escape..."

Bang! Before Dean could finish his words, he was slapped by White and flew up, smashing a large table.

"I can't just talk to you nicely, you have to force me to do it!"

White withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

"I'm sorry, father!"

This slap finally drove away Dean's pessimistic mood.

"Okay, get up and stop thinking too much. Our mission now is not to fight those terrifying enemies, nor to escape from the Orc Continent, but to find out why these guards came to the shallow sea and make corresponding countermeasures."

"yes!"

"Tell me, what do you think about these guards?"

White said, looking at Dean.

Dean is the smartest and most hardworking of his children, so from a very early on, he had decided that Dean would be his heir, and he still had high expectations for Dean.

"I think we should first evacuate the orcs on the coast, not just Danga, but also other coastal kingdoms. We can even take over these countries if necessary. Unless we allow it, no orcs or humans can go out to sea without permission..."

"Then we will send people to monitor the seaside and have other countries set up defensive positions on the seaside. If guards appear in other places, we must inform our Sirius Empire in time. We can't let the guards discover it only after they have already reached the seaside like this time..."

"The last thing is how to deal with the guards. From the previous battles, we know that although these guards can attack air units, we still have a certain advantage in the air compared to fighting in the water. So I think we can reduce the military expenditure of the navy and fully support the Sirius Cavalry..."

"But our number of Sirius Riders is limited. If there are too many guards, we may not be able to cope with them. So, I think our top priority is to find another way to fly! If we can take the initiative in the air, we may be able to defeat these guards!"

"As for finding out why these guards came to the shallow sea area, this is also very important. If we can find the reason and send these guards back, our crisis will be resolved. But it is obviously not that easy. I think we still have to put 'how to fight the guards' first, and find the reason at the same time, but it can only be a secondary position..."

Seeing Dean finish his speech clearly, White nodded with satisfaction. Although they were all simple principles, they were also relatively useful methods at the moment.

But what Dean said next made White stunned.

"Father, I think we might be able to communicate with the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce."

"Um?"

"I heard before that the Red Leaf Merchants have something that can take people to the sky, like a steam car. If we can get this flying machine, perhaps the situation will change..."

Dean looked at White seriously.

"Oh? Can fly? Interesting, Red Leaf Merchant Guild... By the way, you kept saying that this Red Leaf Merchant came from another continent, what do you think now?"

Emperor White suddenly asked with a smile.

"I...it seems I've been cheated!"

Dean shook his head with a wry smile. He finally understood why his father insisted that there couldn't be people from other continents, because people from the Orc Continent couldn't leave, and others couldn't come in! "No, maybe you weren't fooled. They really are from other continents!"

White suddenly spoke up.

"ah?"

This made Dean a little confused. Why did his father deny and confirm at the same time?

"Because there are some small islands around our Orc Continent. Although the resources on those islands are even more scarce, there are people living there. It's not surprising that they call the land under their feet the continent... I remember that the headquarters of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is in Danga Country, right?"

"Yes, father."

"Danga Country... South of Danga Country is the Sunset Mountains. I remember that there was a man-eating forest there, full of dangers and not abundant resources. We never explored further south. Could it be that they came from the other side of the Sunset Mountains?"
