Chapter 1: The background of the story of sweeping thousands of armies

Welcome, my dear Cadet Commander. When you first come to this world, you will inevitably be curious. But first, let me briefly describe the ins and outs of this world. And, why you're here.

Every story will eventually become unrecognizable after thousands of years. No matter how compelling the story and how twisty the plot is, some inadvertent omissions and unintentional exaggerations can obscure the truth, not to mention that it can be tampered with at will. Truth is often buried in the grave of history by time because of the passage of time.

The story between the core and the arm is in the grave of history.

Legend has it that these two races live next to each other in the galaxy. Although later generations may have exaggerated their technological level and great power, there is no doubt that their intelligence is higher than that of a qiē creature known to the present. These two races are inevitably at war

Meet. In the story, the Axis (Core) is depicted as a group of brutal, ruthless, and belligerent and xenophobic executioners, while the Arm is forced to fight back when they can't bear it. But we should understand the old saying "the winner is king, and the loser is the villain".

The war between the Core and the Arm is just a small fragment of the endless carnage that continues across the galaxy. We don't know if they're actually throwing entire galaxies around as a weapon, as storytellers say. But there is no doubt that both races have the ability to destroy entire planets. The brutal war between the Arm and the Core lasted four thousand galactic standard years. Legend has it that in the end, the Spiral Arms Alliance got their wish and conquered the capital of the Axis Empire. Most historians today adopt this statement, but in some regions it has been passed down from generation to generation with very different endings.

At this point in the story, even the storyteller doesn't know what to do. All I know is that both the Arm and the Core have disappeared inexplicably in the war. They left three legacies to posterity. One is the Milky Way, which has been ruined. The other is the Metal Star. Orbited by only one moon, this planet is home to the ancestors of the Axis people who began their ambitions. Legend has it that this planet is full of axes

(core) resources looted from around the empire at its height. But no one dared to take advantage of this, because the core people left behind a strong guard, Krogoth.

And the last legacy is the commanders of the two factions. These immortal mechanical warriors were born in the early days of the Galactic War. After the disappearance of their owners, they are still in operation thousands of years ago

The program that sets them, commanding their undead legions, has prolonged the conflict for another millennium. Perhaps the war will end once and for all if one side is completely destroyed. But who knows?
