Wife, Please Stop Running Away!

044 : Dreams and Visions (PART 02)

There is a marble wall, about twenty meters high, enclosing the Yan Empire. These walls were constructed way back ten generations of the emperor ago meant to defend the people dwelling inside. It did serve its purpose and kept the enemies outside letting the common people live to their heart's content.

However, whenever peace became evident for a long time, chaos will tend to show up. It is quite apparent in the universe where everything will end in disorder.

There is a new movement of foreign entities from the southern perimeters that placed the nearby village in disarray. These foreign people were spotted lurking around the area for a few days at first appearing to just peering over the fence. Though, there is no trouble as these people would eventually be gone after playing around.

The unit assigned around the area is also careful. They were attentive, watching whenever some people tried to come over while casting warnings to some that are courageous enough to come to knock the wall over.

Of course, they don't harass people and immediately abuse them.

They would ask about their purpose of approaching the border walls then the things they brought, where they will be going, and such stuff. Some travelers and merchants use this entrance as well so it is normal to have people enter and exit the place.

If the person is new, they would ask for an identity certification. It is already a known fact between countries that identity certifications should be given to people.

This is for the security of the person carrying the identity as well as the nation it is visiting. Some countries do not permit some people to access their borders while some are given privileges.

They discovered out that the people sneaking around are from an adjacent country. It is regarded as 'very close' since it is indeed just beside the Yan Empire. It is just that a border of tall ridges made a distinct division making both nations close but have no communication.

Only a few people attempted to climb in such dangerous mountains while it takes a few weeks to three months of travel if one decided to travel around the mountains.

The sightings were taken into account but this is quite a common occurrence. The south borders are close to barbaric villages so it is reasonable to have people trying to breach in. The unit is always wary and would not dare to slack off just because the empire is currently at peace.

It is known that the reason why everyone is having a good and peaceful life is due to these people.

However, despite the preparation and the strength of these warriors, time will always come where they will face their demise.

There are three attacks in total.

The first attack happened during the night when streams of palm-sized cannon balls suddenly blared out in the air accompanied by the powerful banging spout of gunpowder. Luckily, the walls are made to withstand these attacks. The curve the cannons were discharged is also not high enough to go over the walls.

It was a fail attempt.

Though some parts of the wall need repairs, there are no casualties. The people who caused such mayhem were captured while the others escaped. The prisoners are carried into jail. Since the borders are pretty much a distance away from the Palace, the execution of punishments has been assigned to an official.

When the previous emperor is alive, it was Yan JinLong who does the work.

Any attempt of attack should be counted as an offense of the perpetrator's country but since these people often encounter attacks from numerous tribes then they did not take punishments seriously. At the least, they would keep the prisoners for three days without food after being flogged many times, then they will record the person's name to their blacklist before releasing them.
