Until he saw the Dark Portal at the end of a barren earth-red land, Colonel Kelman had never imagined that a planetary portal could be so majestic.

Especially when the world bridge composed of dark green star-lit light was opened, he couldn't help but look behind him, the hellfire peninsula that had been completely fortified, and the glory fortress after 2000 years was no longer a lonely castle, it had developed into a large-scale comprehensive war fortress.

The Hellfire Fortress farther away has been transformed into a huge recruit training ground, where some lucky soldiers from the 137 star sectors will receive military training for up to half a year, and from here, you can reach every part of the Draenor world, in the Shadow Moon Valley, there is also a military teleportation fortress leading to the 137 star sectors.

This is a planet made for war.

In the military academy, the colonel had seen more than once about the history of war on this strange planet, and when he was younger, he had discussed with his classmates about the High Home Star and the Delaenor Line, but it wasn't until he actually saw the world that he realized that those imaginations were still too pale.

The Colonel's hat was blown up by the energy fluctuations that opened the dark door, and he reached out and pressed the brown cowboy hat down, then lifted his black briefcase from the ground, and next to him, the young Major Basilon was talking to his fellow Governor Huron, looking in high spirits.

It was pure luck that the Major was able to participate in this event, but the benefits brought to him by this experience were unimaginable, although it was not enough to exchange for a place as a bloodline nobleman, but after the end of this "ceremony", the Major would succeed Kelman and become the sergeant chief of the rebuilt Zhiyuanxing, which was almost unimaginable at his age.

"Let's go, circle of friends, I'll take you around the home planet. ”

Seeing that the energy fluctuations of the Dark Gate had stabilized, Huron stood up from the rest area, Grace stood beside him, these four people had changed their official uniforms, and now they were wearing black civilian clothes, but the temperament of the battlefield could not be concealed, and they looked like the officers who came out on leave.

"It's three days before the ceremony begins, enough for us to go around the main city. ”

Huron patted Kelman and Basilon on the shoulder, men's friendship is always simple, after really experiencing life and death, there is also a bond called friendship between each other, not to mention that Huron himself has military experience, he will not treat them differently because of their identity.

The crystal and Excalibur had been sent back to their home planet through a special channel a day earlier, and it was no easy task to awaken a sleeping Titan spirit, but Huron still got specific information from his father, the Emperor, that in three days, they would go to the top of the world to participate in the most important ceremony of the millennium.

It is optimistically estimated that the leaders of the entire Federation and the 137 major star districts will attend, and counting the sleeping legends in Valhalla, Ulduar in 3 days is estimated to be as lively as the bazaar.

It was no secret to Huron, who didn't like the cold temple very much, but it was a moment of glory that Kelman and Basilon could never have imagined in their lives.

"Buzz"

Walking into the dark green thick light, the Colonel's eyes narrowed as a vertigo peculiar to passing through a large portal, and after the special sense in his heart disappeared, a special smell of air appeared in his nostrils, which was the smell of highly concentrated magical air.

The Major realized that he was already standing at the very center of the ruling land of 137 large star regions, hundreds of billions of light-years of vast territory.

The High Mother, Azeroth!

"How's it going? The energetic air smells weird, right?"

Huron leaned his staff into the teleportation hall on the other side of the Dark Gate, and he looked at the Colonel, whose face changed slightly, and explained, "A long time ago, when we first stepped into the starry sky, we had a kind of self-doubt about what kind of civilization Azeroth was among all civilizations, and then we realized that our worries were unfounded. ”

The orc captain answered,

"After 2,000 years of exploration of time and space, there are only a handful of planets that can compare to the energy-rich air of Azeroth, this world was born destined to be an eagle soaring through the universe, and we have been blessed from the beginning. ”

The Colonel did not answer the words of Huron and Grace, who was marveling at the first building on his home planet.

It was a sculpture, in the middle of the high-tech teleportation hall outside the dark door, a sculpture of a paladin with a sword in his hand, looking up at the sky, a sculpture of a fully armed paladin, the delicate stonemasons carved the sculpture with extraordinary detail, the stars twinkling at his feet, the cloak raised behind him, this sculpture was full of a quality that people would not forget when they looked at it.

The most important thing was the face, not handsome, but unusually familiar, a face that the Colonel had just seen a few days ago.

It was a sculpture of Dick.

The hall was full of people, and it was a very busy transfer station, filled with all the great figures of all civilizations and forces in the Federation's territory, but no matter who passed by the sculpture, they would deliberately keep their voices low, as if they were afraid of disturbing the leader and philosopher of 2,000 years ago.

"Now you understand what kind of great being we have saved, right?"

Grace patted Kelman on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go to Storm King first, it's one of the busiest places on the home planet, and we can also go to the beach inn in the Wild West for some drinks in the evening, trust me, you won't want to miss the beautiful sunset over the Wild West." ”

In terms of prosperity alone, more than a dozen of the 137 star sectors that are purely commercial are much more prosperous than Azeroth, but in the eyes of the Colonel, the road from the Watch Fort to the Elwyn Forest is a different kind of prosperity.

The people here are proud and confident, modest and courteous, and each of them, even the wandering merchants who walk in the woods and the farmers of Shining Gold, have a special temperament that is not seen on the faces of the people of other worlds, as if they were the masters of this great world.

And what is even more commendable is that although Azeroth has entered a highly developed civilization level, the development of this world has not caused more damage to the natural environment, in fact, when the colonel raises his head, he can see the back and forth of the magic train in a very orderly manner in the sky, and according to Huron, under their feet, there is also an underground train system along with the entire world.

At a certain level of civilization, the concept of distance is naturally very vague, and the most strange thing for the Colonels is that they meet a local magistrate when they stop at the largest and most luxurious inn in Shining Gold.

His job is to protect the forests in the Glitter section of Alwyn's Forest, where he patrols the Magic Aerostat for eight hours a day before taking an underground train back to his home, which is in the Old Town of Theramore, on the other side of the ocean.

The process of commuting to work only takes less than 20 minutes, so it doesn't look amazing on the surface, and there will even be a faint disappointment, but after really understanding it, the colonel is happy and convinced of the ruling mode of the Supreme Home Star.

The real greatness of this world is that it truly treats the people here as people, rather than using the method of oppression to construct a noble appearance that can make everyone feel majestic on the surface.

And in the town of Shining Gold rented 4 horses, leisurely embarked on the road to Stormwind City, in the forest full of natural atmosphere, the colonel, an excellent soldier, but a little awkwardly riding on the back of this creature he had almost never seen, born in the interstellar era he is most familiar with the unique camel beast of the Great Triangle Star Zone, and later came to the Pruk Star Zone, where there is no such creature as a horse.

However, the experience was still very novel, and they listened to Huron talk about the history of the world as they walked along the wide road.

"In fact, at the beginning, Azeroth also had a period of population explosion, which lasted for nearly 100 years, and in a hundred years, the population of this planet almost reached two-half of its maximum load, just Lordaeron, which was still the kingdom at that time, had a population of more than 1 billion, and then the high-level of the Federation finally launched the real interstellar colonization under the warning of the overwhelmed star spirits. ”

Huron, who was very good at equestrianism, reached out and plucked two fruits from the bush next to him, and threw one to the Colonel, a fresh purple berry, and when he bit into it, the sweet juice jumped into his mouth, making the Colonel, who had been eating synthetic food all year round, squint his eyes pleasantly.

If it weren't for the magic train flowing in the sky overhead, the colonel would have thought that he was on a planet with a civilization in the Middle Ages, and the environment here was so good! Nature and technology were almost perfectly integrated, and from time to time he could see automatic robots building fruit trees in the forest, which looked a little strange, but it was very harmonious.

And Huron's story is not over, and when he returns to his home planet a few years later, the Governor seems somewhat happy and talkative,

"It was also at that time that we were lucky enough to find the Kanda Star Zone, which is not far from the Azeroth Star Zone, where almost every ecological planet is habitable, and it took almost 30 years for the Federation Fleet, which was not very developed at that time, to transfer the population of Azeroth to every colonized planet in the Kanda Star Zone, and since that time, the population of Azeroth has basically been fixed. ”

"The eternal population of 2.1 billion people, not more, not less, exists in various towns on this planet, not only nobles, but also vetted civilians, and in the western wilderness, there are even some ancient farms handed down from 2,000 years ago, don't underestimate those farmers, any farmer on the home planet, but they are rich and rival the existence of the country. ”

"They just like that laid-back lifestyle, just because they don't accept the baptism of civilization. ”

The Doge squeezed his eyes at Kelman, then raised his head, and soon saw the walls of Stormwind City, which had expanded more than four times as much in the lush forest, as the ruling center of the Stormwind Empire, the city could not help but look heavy and serious, its enlarged walls were made of special materials, and they would glow with crystal light at night, and they would look very bright in the sun.

The banner of the Wryn family flutters on the walls, and at the wide gates, the guards who follow the ancient rites are still wearing the armor of 2000 years ago, of course, this is a kind of ceremonial guard, if the opponent can break through the blockade of the two super fleets outside the home planet of Azeroth, and then cross the defense system of the Demon Nexus World that exists in the atmosphere, and then defeat the internal fleet of the planet of the garrison kingdom, they will eventually come to Stormwind, but at the gates, they will be stopped by 12,000 marines wearing the most advanced assault armor, 1,200 ray cannons hidden in the walls, and 22 epic heroes guarding the city。

And in this kind of central area of the empire, there is more than one demigod.

The current Stormwind City is the capital city that will never fall in the true sense of the word.

"Let's go, Colonel, and show you the unique prosperity of the home planet, the auction house in Stormwind City can buy all the treasured items in the whole Federation and outside the Federation, you can go and take a look. ”

Huron threw him a black card,

"This is my personal gift to you, and it can be regarded as the reward of the Lordaeron Empire for meritorious people, it is 200,000 gold coins, which is the fund for your activities on the home planet during this period of time, oh, by the way, if you believe in the Holy Light, then the North County Monastery, not far from Stormwind, is a pilgrimage place that you must not miss. ”

"It's... I just did what I had to do!"

Kelman handed the card to Huron, the veteran had less than half of his life savings, but he shook his head and refused, "I accept your kindness, Lord Huron, but don't express it in money." ”

"Alright, Kelman!"

Grace patted the veteran on the back, "After becoming a bloodline noble, money will not mean anything to us, you will become one of us, you must learn to look at all this with a higher eye, and this is necessary, the consumption on the home planet is very high, just relying on you and Basilon's military salary, you are estimated to go to Shining Gold Town." ”

"Listen to me, friend!"

Huron also advised, "You are no longer the obscure soldier you once was, now that your name is on the desks of the kings, you must learn to be a great man, I heard that your wife and daughter live in the home of the Great Triangular District? ”

Huron opened his hand and whispered to Kelman,

"Every bloodline nobleman is the greatest wealth of the Federation, you have stepped in, Colonel, I will not just let you visit here when I take you back to your home planet, you have to learn to integrate into this circle, and soon you will know that the upper class is not just drunk and drunk as you think, we only carry out missions once a year at most, but our mortality rate is 30% higher than that of ordinary soldiers, even for the sake of your children and family, you can learn this way of life as quickly as possible. ”

"The Most High Home Star is called Supreme not only because of its geographical location, but also because of its transcendent sacrifices, not everyone is qualified to live here, and that is where its glory lies, and this is where its greatness lies. 10
