The towering city-state, like an illusion realm from ancient legends, stands surrounded by mountains.

From afar, it seems to be like a giant beast, majestic and mysterious; up close, every stone brick bears the marks of time.

The city walls tower high, resembling a barrier to the sky.

The morning sun rises, its golden rays spilling over the walls, dyeing each stone brick golden, the entire city-state like a torch ablaze with gold.

The city gates are wide open, and caravan teams incessantly come and go, wheels pressing over the cobblestone roads, producing a muffled sound intertwined with the clopping of horse hooves to form a melody.

Above the city walls, Cohen Kingdom soldiers clad in armor glitter with a silver sheen under the sun's rays.

It truly is the Royal Capital, every soldier guarding the city, viewed by Kana, seems to be at Level Three level.

Which means all are elite.

"What a magnificent city!"

Lurik looked up and exclaimed, the others nodded silently.

"Is that... Beastman?" Alyris asked.

In the flow of people shuttling through the city gate, it was very noticeable to see those fur-covered upright creatures towering over humans.

A few of them have heads resembling wolves, dressed in leather clothing, carrying weapons on their backs.

They seem somewhat like the elite forces of the Blood Race—Sewn-up Werewolves.

Or rather, the prototype of Sewn-up Werewolves, perhaps are these upright werewolf-like Beastman tribes.

Others have heads resembling foxes, their slightly squinted eyes appearing somewhat malicious.

They wear form-fitting leather robes.

Bobo nodded: "Yes, they are Beastmen, with beast-like appearances, just like upright beasts."

Besides Bobo and two Elves.

The few accompanying Kana could be considered as seeing Beastman creatures for the first time, observing from afar.

Kana looked at these Beastmen, memories of their background involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Like Elves and Dwarves, Beastmen can also be categorized as humanoid species.

In some unknown ancient past, a group of humans obtained the complete Stone of Creation.

In that distant past, they worshiped beast totems, perhaps by a fortunate chance, they acquired the Stone of Creation.

Their belief in beasts activated the Stone of Creation, allowing them to fulfill wishes in the form of their faith.

Since then, this tribe began to possess beastly power, even appearance.

However, it's necessary to differentiate, Beastman generally refers to those human-like creatures resembling upright beasts.

And they certainly have fur.

Due to the existence of the Stone of Creation, there are always some other tribes that look similar to Beastmen.

But they are not Beastmen.

For instance, Minotaurs belong to another tribe, and not to the Beastman type.

And for example, Ratman is an obviously non-humanoid.

Because they are more like large rats standing up, rather than humans transformed into upright rats.

Overall, due to the existence of the Stone of Creation, the racial appearances in this world are hard to differentiate.

In cases of unfamiliarity, making errors in distinguishing is quite normal, some tribes even struggle to understand these things themselves.

"There are many outsiders," Lurilu said.

She identified many different species amidst the flow of people at the city gate which should not be present in Cohen Kingdom.

"It should be related to the gathering army issue," Alyris said.

According to information from Lawrence, the joint meeting organized by the Holy Light Church is held right here in the Royal Capital.

Everyone leads their mounts towards the direction of the city gate.

Perhaps because of the strange races and various forces gathered in the Royal Capital during this period.

Even when leading the Land Birds, the surrounding residents seem to have become accustomed.

They cast curious gazes, taking a quick look before turning away.

The number is too much, mixed and diverse.

The guards at the gate simply don't conduct inspections, allowing everyone to pass through.

Inside the city walls, moss is mottled, leaving deep imprints of time here.

Spacious streets, buildings of varying heights, uphold the architectural style of the human Empire in this region.

Looking at the cluster of buildings, it stretches as far as the eye can see, enough to discern the immense range of this city.

However, even with such a national capital, on a national level, Cohen Kingdom only ranks as medium-high.

Perhaps for ease of trade, the main gate ahead, after a short detour, is the marketplace.

The market is bustling with activity, the shouts of various vendors echoing. A plethora of goods fills the stalls, from vibrant fabrics to exquisite ornaments, spicy delicacies to exotic herbs, all available. Among the crowd, vendors haggle, tourists curiously eyeing various impressive items.

It's unbelievable that at this time there are still people visiting Cohen Kingdom for tourism.

Meandering through the market, upon crossing the entire commercial area, one sees a building resembling an inn by the roadside.

At the entrance of the building are two Night Watchers, wearing ordinary clothes, waiting idly.

Seeing the conspicuous Land Birds, they confirmed it was Kana and others and waved their hands to attract their attention.

Two teams of Night Watchers sent here a few days ago, have already prepared lodging for the arriving group.

Soon everyone settles down here to rest.

This inn has already been booked.

A specialized parlor is solely for their use.

Kana and the others gather here.

A simple map of the city is placed on the table, but everyone mainly focuses on the maps displayed on their individual interfaces.
