At this moment, Ye Zhen was leaving Weizhou and heading to his destination, Luozhou, both located at the northwest frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course, it's not the absolute northwest frontier in a literal sense.
Moreover, the foremost part of the northwest region is the Human-Demon Battlefield, so the northwest borders of Great Zhou differ completely from the frontiers in other directions.
The northwest region of Great Zhou is rich in land and mineral resources, and being at the back and flank of the Human-Demon Battlefield makes its strategic position extremely important.
Half of the supplies for the Human-Demon Battlefield come from the northwest region.
Under normal circumstances, the frontier regions near war zones have very sparse populations.
