While Su Li was using the influence of the Church and alliances through the Knight Clan to continuously consolidate the territory over the Green Shore Plain of the Blue Mirror Territory, the 2000 Provincial Legion led by Marshal Oerstein had already swept through the Green Shore Plain and entered the southernmost border pastures of the Blue Mirror Territory.
This area was already near the Sand Shadow Forest to the south of the Blue Mirror Territory. Unlike the dangerous Blood Pine Forest, this was a relatively smaller natural forest with many thriving villages. The Beastman would often attack these human strongholds, so the local villagers were quite self-reliant and did not highly recognize the Blue Mirror Territory.
In such circumstances, Marshal Oerstein easily seized seven border pastures there, acquiring hundreds of cattle and horses, and thousands of sheep. He then coerced the villages to swear allegiance to the Hesse Territory.
