"Just now I saw you hurrying along, is there some task at hand?" Mu Can recalled Nie Bufan's previous marching and asked.
"The northern barbarians are attacking the Nanyuan Empire." Nie Bufan thought for a moment and said, although this news belonged to military secrets, it was nothing major.
Mu Can's expression grew serious. In the northern part of the Nanyuan Empire was a vast grassland inhabited by a group of nomadic tribes, known as barbarians.
The barbarians were strong and good at fighting. Every adult barbarian possessed strength enough to contend with a Great Martial Master, and the priests among the barbarians were even more mysterious.
Every winter, the barbarians would launch a large-scale invasion into the Nanyuan Empire to seize resources for overwintering. This annual conflict was called 'winter hunt' by the barbarians and 'winter resistance' by the Nanyuan Empire.
