Mivana's excitement was understandable.
Back when Viona was still alive, Knights would occasionally visit the Star Lake Sword, but they treated the Beastmen of Dusk Lamp Territory with utter disdain, not even deigning to give them a second glance.
The Beastmen here had built their home from the ground up. Though seemingly part of the Country of Yonglan, in reality, the territory was completely sealed off, like an isolated island.
Forget migration—even the most basic bartering rarely occurred. A narrow river separated Dusk Lamp Territory from the outside world.
Thanks to Viona's influence, the Beastmen of Dusk Lamp Territory still saw themselves as Yonglan People and wanted to integrate into the Knight Country. But let alone gaining the acknowledgment of the Gale Heart, even the adjacent Knight Territories were cold and indifferent toward this savage land swarming with Beastmen.
