Legend has it that the humans and orcs on the continent of Lordaeron are not native species. Before humans and orcs, the rulers of the continent were elves and dwarves. One night more than 5,000 years ago, dozens of huge fireballs suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the Asgard Plains, and the elves and dwarves who went to explore did not find meteorites, but found more than a dozen huge steel ruins, and tens of thousands of human species were seen in the ruins......

This is the account of human origin that Guderian saw from the books of the walls of Asgar. It is a reference to the elves and dwarves. But it is marked as a legend by the humans themselves.

As for the orcs, more than 4,000 years ago, in order to find the hometown of their ancestors, humans opened the gate of time and space on the Asgar Plain, and they didn't want the orcs to be behind the door......

Similarly, the origins of the orcs are marked with legends.

Mankind's record of its own history began more than 2,600 years ago. That period is known to mankind as the Warring States Period. And from the time the door of time and space was opened to this, even the records of the elves and dwarves about humans were vague, as if they were deliberately hidden, covering the reasons for their withdrawal from the continent of Lordaeron.

The disconnection of history made Guderian a little embarrassed. The origin of humans and orcs cannot be clarified by humans themselves, so they can only follow the records of elves and dwarves. Of course, most people think of it as a legend, after all, it is too long ago, and the record is broken.

The Warring States period of mankind lasted for nearly a thousand years, and then evolved into four unified states. To the northwest of the continent, bounded by the Asgar Mountains, nearly one-third of the continent is the kingdom of the orcs. The Asgard Mountains run through the northwest of the entire continent, facing the sea at both ends, except for the Asgar Mountain Road and a few nearby trails that can be crossed, other places can only be bypassed by sea unless you are an archmage. The Asgard Mountains are located northeast at one end of the Arctic Sea, connecting to another mountain range, the Orlandlido Range. The Orlanlido Mountains turn southeast and back northwest to join the walls of Asgard, enveloping the Asgard Plains into a large irregular triangle. From the Orlanlido Mountains to the east and south, it is the territory of mankind. The north side is connected to the Extremely Cold Sea, and the south side passes through the Leizhou Peninsula, crossing the ocean for more than 400 kilometers, and is another continent, half the area of Lordaeron. It was the domain of elves and dwarves. The four kingdoms of mankind have been playing out for thousands of years on the two-thirds of the human beings, Lordaeron. To the east of Orlanderdo is the Totai Empire, and Orlandledo and the Asgard Mountains are natural barriers, which the Orcs can only attack unless they cross the Arctic Sea. To the south of Totai is the Dayu Empire, bounded by the Orlan Lido River, which flows from Orlan Lido, until it joins the Quicksand River that flows out of Asgar. The United Kingdom was east of the Totai Empire and the Dayu Empire to the coast of the Great Eastern Ocean. At the corner of the United Kingdom and Dayu, to the southeast is the Inca Empire. These four countries divide the continent of Asgard to the east.

The walls of Asgar were built by the four human nations. The garrison is also a rotation of the four countries. During the Warring States period, the orcs did not cross the Asgar Mountains due to their lack of population. It wasn't until hundreds of years after the end of the Warring States period that the orcs began to enter the Asgar Plains from the Asgar Mountain Road. Humans were afraid that the orcs would use the Asgar Plains as a springboard, so they built the walls of Asgar. And strangely, after the orcs occupy the Asgard Plains, most of them will not go east. For thousands of years, humans have been fighting to drive the orcs out of the Asgar Plains. And the orcs are attacking the Asgar Mountain Road in order to enter the Asgar Plains.

Seeing this, Guderian remembered the doubts of the marshal at that time.

The enemies of humanity, in addition to the orcs, are also the underground races and the sea tribes. According to legend, the Underworld race is the sinners who were once the lords of the continent, elves and dwarves. There are many natural caves on the main road that lead to the underworld, and there are three or five in almost every country. For two thousand years, the most battles fought by humans were not with orcs, but with the underworld races, and also with the sea tribes. Occasionally, conflicts will break out between human countries, but they will be more restrained and will not fight as they did during the Warring States period.

Now that the troops of the United Kingdom stationed at the walls of Asgard have suffered heavy losses, it is just a good time to fall into the ground, and I do not know what kind of international situation it will face. Guderian couldn't help but be a little worried. Now it's just summer, and there is still half a year before it is the turn of other countries to change their defenses.

The walls of Asgar are part of the public defense area. One country per year (Asgar Hill Road is a semi-annual round between the troops of the garrison country, don't get confused). The logistics are shared by the four countries. Of course, the plains on both sides of the walls of Asgar should be the territory of the Dayu Empire.

Of the four continental countries, only the United Kingdom does not have an imperial system, but establishes the national capital in the form of a parliament. The other three empires were all imperial. Therefore, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners in the United Kingdom, which makes the life of the people of the United Kingdom much better than the other three empires. The United Kingdom was originally a merger of many small kingdoms at the end of the Warring States period, and there were many royal families and nobles at first, but after the establishment of the parliamentary form to establish the national capital, various titles and titles were gradually revoked for hundreds of years, until the current state of relative democracy was formed. The name United Kingdom is still in use today in honour of the kings who abdicated the throne for this purpose. Similarly, the commemoration of the calendar is also marked by the United Kingdom year. Because the four countries were the first to be founded, the United Kingdom Chronology was also used by the other three countries, but the name was changed to the Continental Chronology. So the United Kingdom calendar is also the continental calendar.

Throughout history, Guderian has found the origin of magic. Before the Warring States Period, the ancestors had already established the rank of the Nine Rings of Magic and had a complete system. Although there has been a discontinuity in the history of mankind, there is no denial that magic originated from elves and dwarves. After all, among many spells, there are many elven and dwarven syllables that cannot be replaced. Magic has been passed down among humans to this day, and has developed many branches, but most of them are inseparable from the Nine Rings and the Archmage system after all. Only the Necromantic Branch, which transcended ancient magic, discovered a lich form that could be transformed into immortality as long as the soul lifebox was not destroyed. This has also sparked a wave of necromancy.

Compared to the achievements of magic, the construction of human technology is lackluster. If legends really exist, and human beings are visitors from outside the sky, then today's technology is very different from that of our ancestors, just like primitive societies. Perhaps this has something to do with the disconnection of human history.

As for the study of physical strength, Guderian did not see anything useful. It is only known that the way of controlling the blood to stimulate power is not uncommon in human history. Most of the famous generals and powerful warriors and knights in the annals of history belong to this category. Of course, there are also famous generals and powerful warriors and knights who do not control their blood. It's just that the proportion is relatively small.

Guderian remained in the library until the next evening, when Augustine came to deliver the marshal's summons, and Guderian left with him.

In the hall of the Military Affairs Office, under the light of magic lamps, only the old man sat behind the handsome case to deal with some official documents. Guderian came in and saluted, and stood silently aside. After waiting for a while, the old man put away the official document and looked up to Guderian and said, "Tomorrow, the team escorting the ashes and archives of the soldiers will set off for the port of Orlanlido to board the ship, led by General Augustus. At the end of the year, when the Dayu Empire takes over the defense, I will return to the kingdom and will reorganize the Dragon Guard. Here are your files and appointment documents, and when you return to the capital, you should go to the military headquarters to report to it. By the time I reorganize the Dragonguard, you'll be the official General Guderian Glenny. The old man smiled and handed over the paperwork that had been set aside.

Guderian hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"Based on your resume, the rank of captain and the position of squadron leader have long been wronged by you. It's just a reason, and I don't know. I'll skip the meeting of the military headquarters directly, promote you to the rank of major general, and your resume is enough to shut their mouths, and you can accept this appointment with peace of mind. The old man continued.

"Yes, Marshal. "Although Guderian is not very keen on military rank and position. However, as a soldier, such honors and recognition still flattered him.

"Alright, get some rest tonight and leave tomorrow. Bon voyage. The old man waved his hand and motioned for Guderian to go.

Augustine was standing guard, and when he saw Guderian coming out, he pushed away his visor and smiled: "Guderian, you can go home tomorrow, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

Guderian also stopped, patted Augustine on the shoulder and said, "I'll wait for you in the capital." ”

"Then Guderian you will have to invite us to drink!" shouted Hausen, who was standing guard with Augustine.

"Good. Guderian smiled and gave Hausen a thumbs up: "Don't get drunk!"

"A word is a deal!" said Augustine and Hausen in unison.

Guderian said goodbye to Augustine and Hausen and returned to his station at dusk.
