Another world, the continent of Falmat, the hills of Arnus, the gate of the gods

This is a blue planet that is very similar to Earth, and it is also the cradle and home of countless lives.

However, unlike Earth, the civilization of this planet is still in a very primitive stage, and a considerable area is still shrouded in wild darkness. And the center of civilization on this planet has always been located on the continent of Falmat, which is what the locals see as the "civilized world".

And the Arnous hill, where the "Gate of the Gods" stands, happens to be located in the center of the continent of Falmatt.

In the myths and legends of the intelligent life races of the continent of Falmat, the huge palace-like structure on the top of Mount Arnous is a legacy of the Age of the Gods. Legend has it that the great gods used this gate to travel to and from other worlds, but no one knows where the gods have gone, only that they have suddenly disappeared in the distant past, leaving behind only the legendary "Gate of the Gods".

Throughout history, countless wandering mages and scholars have come to the Arnous Hills to investigate and study, trying to find out how the Gates of the Gods can connect to the mysteries of the other world, but to no avail. The only thing they could confirm was that the door of the gods would be opened every once in a while, leading to another strange new world. Some scholars believe that on this continent, whether it is elves, orcs, dwarves or even humans, it seems that they are not the natives of this world, but come from the other side of the door.

Endless years have passed, accompanied by exchanges between humans, orcs, elves, and dwarves - much of which, unfortunately, has been carried out through weapons and death, and the flame of civilization has evolved in the history of warfare on the continent of Falmat.

The barbarian tribes that used to wander around gradually learned to farm and settle, and became civilized city-states. And the city-states continued to fight and fight each other for trade, water, land, and supremacy. Primitive civilizations struggled between blood and fire, harvest and famine, conquest and rebellion. Gradually, flint axes became bronze daggers, and animal skins and shoulders became metal armor. Small city-states also annexed and swelled each other in the chaos, turning into alliances, republics, and kingdoms under different banners......

In the end, a great empire rose in the middle of the continent of Farmatt, and spent centuries gradually sharpening its military power, defeating various powerful opponents little by little, gradually ending the long conquest of the nations, and by the way, expanding the empire's territory to an unprecedented extent. Illustrious martial arts not only meant glory and greatness, but also brought a steady stream of wealth, land, and people to this empire.

Not long ago, the last few city-states and alliances on the edge of Farmatt that were still resisting were finally defeated one by one by the invincible imperial army, and they were either completely annexed or reduced to vassals who had to pay tribute to the emperor every year. At this point, except for a few barbarian tribes still roaming the barren mountains and wilderness, as well as the remnants of the soldiers and bandits wandering among the countryside, the empire has no rivals on the continent of Falmat. As for the above two, for the behemoth empire, it can only be regarded as a public security problem, not a military problem.

To celebrate the unification of the empire over the known civilized world, Emperor Mort II and the Senate held an unprecedented lavish celebration in the imperial capital of Ulabyanca—a triumphant march of toe, all-night lights, feasts, circuses, songs and dances, sumptuous food, wine, fruit, and generous gifts from the Emperor and the Senate, all of which made the citizens rejoice and take pride in the invincibility of the Empire.

Although Crown Prince Sochar's personal guard suffered a slight loss when it organized the encirclement and suppression of the "headhunter rabbits" during this period, it was not the regular army that suffered a defeat after all. Everyone believes that this is due to the extremely bad military level of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always had a bad reputation, and he is stubborn and does not listen to advice. As long as a veteran is dispatched during the next encirclement and suppression, if you are more serious, you will definitely be able to overthrow those rabbits who don't know whether they are alive or dead.

However, although the grand cause of the empire to unify the continent has been completed, whether it is the ambitious Emperor Molt II, or the military nobles of the Senate who have fought all their lives, or the imperial soldiers who have long been accustomed to licking blood with knives, they have no intention of turning swords into plowshares and stopping the war.

First of all, they have become accustomed to enjoying the constant dividends of war and plunder, and do not yet know how to continue their lives without war. Second, if a militarized empire that relies on the war machine to a considerable extent stops its foreign wars without any preparation, and no more booty and prisoners are imported into the country, and there is no war as an upward channel for the elite at the bottom, then a series of terrible contradictions will quickly erupt in the economy, society, and politics, and may even shake the foundation of the country.

To put it more figuratively, the social system of a large country, whether it is from a state of peace to a state of war, or vice versa from a state of war to a state of peace, is like upgrading the operating system of a poorly compatible assembled computer, which is a painful process -- crashes, crashes, information loss, and other problems will come one after another. If you can get through it, then that's fine. If it doesn't survive, then the country will collapse to an exceedingly humiliating state, like an adult dying of a food or pollen allergy: but the possibility is real!

Therefore, both the Emperor and the Senate believed that for the Empire, which had long been accustomed to war, victory, and spoils, it was necessary to continue to maintain a state of war for a period of time, so that those in power, those in power, could calmly adjust and buffer themselves to the coming years of peace in the future.

However, in this case, a question arises: the entire continent has been unified, where else can the blade of the imperial army go?

In this regard, Emperor Molt II had already calculated: that was the top of the Arnus hill, opposite the "Gate of the Gods" of another world...... Although the time for each opening of the "Gate" is limited, it is difficult to occupy the world on the other side of the "Gate" for a long time, but if it is only for looting, it is more than enough.

Therefore, at this time, around the Arnous hills, there is a lively scene of tents and flags fluttering. A full 100,000 elite field legions of the Empire that had leveled the Falmatt continent had all gathered here and were ready to go. All the warriors of the empire are gearing up, just waiting for the "door" to be opened, and they will go to the other world on the opposite side, which is said to be "weak in force and rich in goods".

However, what none of these Imperial warriors noticed was that they were preparing for battle on the Armnous Hills. On a desolate mountain range not far away, a mysterious figure with a pair of long ears also cleverly hid among the trees, quietly observing their every move...... (To be continued.) )
