Exile refers to a means of punishment for exiling prisoners to remote areas and receiving physical and mental torture.

The severity of the penalties for exile is usually second only to the death penalty. Its execution cost is much higher than the beheading and going to jail, but it was once one of the important means for rulers to maintain national stability. Because they always play with beheading in the afternoon, many spectators will also feel the pressure and fear of tyranny, and concentrated massacre can easily cause negative effects.

In addition, the border defenses of various countries in ancient times were relatively empty. If the border areas were in an unmanned area for a long time, the border border would shrink inward under the pressure of the enemy. Therefore, those guilty people would occasionally be exiled - most of the prisoners would be thrown to the border of the empire, enter the military camp and become slave soldiers, or simply treat them as cannon fodder to attract wild beasts and monsters, and take them out to do heavy physical work or "uncompression supplies" of the army.

Or trade it to other countries to make living research materials for medicine, magic, and alchemy.

In the mountains leading to the east, there are a small number of exiled people.

The night passed quietly, and everyone continued to rush along the sparse conversation.

Cross-shaped wooden brackets stand on the hill like graves, and the exiled people on the racks hang here in the crucifixion of the Son of God. They write their life sins in simple pieces in front of their chests and abdomen, waiting for the punishment of nature and wilderness. However, most people are either frozen before death or are treated as food rations by passing beasts.

Komako drove away the rotten eagle on the cross and looked close to the cross for a moment: "It seems that the chaos power in this area is relatively weak, and these dead people have not been transformed."

Yatira walked forward nervously and looked at the plaques or paper on the chests of the bones: "Singisen, for stealing and killing farming cattle, robbing a merchant's jewelry and money, poisoning the well to pollute the environment. I hope the blizzard will punish the criminal..."

"This is indeed the exiles from the Lion Empire. They exiled these prisoners to remote and dangerous places, which is actually no different from hanging and beheading, but the pain and torture are longer."

Chen Yaogang said as he walked: "It is a good thing for us to weaken the power of chaos, but there are still demons here, so you should not take it lightly. These exiled people are dead, and there may be more to go forward, and there are no cremation at all. You should just take your kindness."

Komaco put Yatira in the middle of the team: "According to the instructions on the map, we can walk out of the snow-capped mountains today, but we did not find any footprints of the believers of the Pseudo-God Lord and Patty along the way."

"Arela said they ran away in the direction of the Snake Canyon. If we were going to chase them, we had to pass through this snow forest first, then into the barren wasteland, and enter the Snake Canyon from the passageway towards the inland. What should we do, leader?"

Chen Yaogang refused, "No need, those monsters will not only attack us, but also attack them. We will just walk the safe passage on the side of the coastline and arrive at the capital of the Lion Empire as soon as possible. No matter how they hide, they will not be able to avoid entering the city block for supplies. It will be a matter of time before we catch them."

"It is not a wise decision to enter the Aranoke Desert, which is full of yellow sand. This land is not as gentle as the rainy Western Plain. The vicious desert will quickly consume our food and drinking water reserves. A reasonable adjustment of the route can improve the tolerance rate. After all, you can't fly and you can't rush through sandstorms and snowstorms."

Komaco readjusted the drawings: "Okay, then let's go from the valley of exile... The destination is Sarnehein, the former site of the Lion Empire's Royal City."

The team fell silent again, maybe they could not stand the pain and boredom of walking. Yatira was always idle and walked up to chat with everyone.

Yatira held her knees and said, "To be honest, I'm starting to regret it now! At first I thought it was very free and fun, but until now I realized how happy it is to be able to take a carriage and other transportation tools. My legs are about to break. Can we walk slowly?"

"I said earlier that being a pioneer is very hard-working. Those who can't stand the journey should stay in the city gates and wait for the teleportation array to be repaired." Chen Yaogang did not feel pity for the beauty. The translation system would automatically record the boss monsters he had killed, so he needed to be alert to the arrival of the demons at all times.

Yatira was not comforted and could only harass Daphne: "Sister Daphne, aren't you tired? Can we and the leader ask for a camp to rest?"

Daphne was a little embarrassed: "Miss Yatira, we are scholars of Heratim. Before the disaster broke out, we had been engaged in adventure activities in the wild for many years. Our bodies have withstood the test of nature, and our equipment is also a thick and comfortable type to choose as much as possible... Of course it will hurt if you insist on wearing hard soles."

Jeffka smiled and handed Yatira a crutch: "Use this, it has a stabilizing magic attached to it. If you feel tired, talk less. Maintaining the rhythm of breathing can reduce physical energy consumption."

Yatira had a bitter face and could only beg others if she could take her over for a while, because she rarely suffered from childhood and was about to collapse on the road now.

It was not until Komako volunteered to become the Flower Guardian that Yatira smiled.

"Mr. Yatira, if you don't mind, I will help you walk for a while."

"laugh."

...

Two days and one night, after walking out of the mountainous area, the temperature gradually rose, but the Gobi wasteland covered with sand and stones was still very cold, and Chen Yaogang did not remove the transformation form.

The tiger soul form gives Chen Yaogang a soft foot pad, which can effectively provide cushioning, making it more comfortable to walk with your shoes off.

Standing on the sand dunes, looking at the city block under the clouds, the ancient prosperous desert pearl is near.

Saenhein is a typical desert trading town. It is built with desert oasis and stable water sources as the core. There are date palm trees inside and around the city gate.

The yield of date palm fruit is not particularly large, but because the terrain of this area is relatively high and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, which is conducive to sugar analysis. In addition, the planting cost is also very low and does not require much manual care, so it has become one of the food sources for desert people.

For some interstellar players, it is common to mistake date palm trees for coconut trees.

From the perspective of the world background, Saenhein is full of architectural culture styles from the Arab region, but in fact, you will find that this is an illusion - desert temples, giant statues and scarabs, bringing more mysterious feelings of ancient Egypt.

"Great, we're approaching!" Komako shouted excitedly, and even Yatira cheered up.
