One day, the sky will be dark.

Heaven sent down divine punishment, and the storm cleansed the earth from all sin.

Heroes clad in glorious armor will descend from the sky and turn into eagles and giant lions.

Save the people from the dawn.

......

This is a legend passed down from generation to generation by the Dossacks, and centuries of slavery have convinced them that a hero will come to save them.

The Dossacks were one of the oldest civilizations in Azeroth, and they also corresponded to and coexisted with the existing system of the Kahlan Federation. During the imperial era of the Sukaran Commonwealth, the Strand in the west and the Celts in the north were called barbarians, and there were frequent conflicts and collisions between them.

The Strand eventually chose to retreat into canyons, jungles, and swamps. Some of the Dossacks chose to migrate west and south.

The polar regions north of Belmar, the Empire's Neuland, and Britannia across the ocean have all left the footprints of the Dossacks. They first appeared in these areas in the tenth century, before the first unification of the continents. In the centuries that followed, the Dossacks spread out into the surrounding areas in armed tribal confederations, migrating and migrating militarily. They were the first humans on Azeroa to learn how to make and use iron and gold ornaments, and they defeated the still Stone Age tribes with iron weapons, and finally settled in eastern and central Sukaran in the seventh century.

In 387 BC and 279 BC, the Dossack invaded and sacked what was then Karan and Belma, respectively, and some tribes even penetrated into the region of Mosaka in southern Ametris. At their peak, they occupied a large area of land from Mosaka to the Caspian Sea, almost rivaling the later Kalan Empire. However, in the end, they failed to form a unified state.

Subsequently, with the rise of the Kahlan civilization, Celtic culture began to decline. Faced with a Roman army, organized through strict discipline and advanced tactics, the tall and brave Celts were gradually at a disadvantage. In 385 BC, the Dossacks sacked Kalan's main city in Durant, a tragic history that has been remembered by the Sukarans, and in 59~49 B.C., Julius defeated the Dossacks in Gaul. Delos, the cultural center of the Dossacks, later became a province of the Kalan Empire. In order to completely conquer Delos, Julius caused more than 2.5 million Ssacks to be beheaded here and 1 million to be enslaved.

In the summer of 55 BC, Julius came to Delos. At that time, he was troubled by the pacification of the Strands to the west. And the Dossacks, who were being enslaved by everyone, naturally became the solution to his shortage of soldiers. Until the empire was reorganized into a federation, during which time for thousands of years, the Dossack slave army was not completely abolished, but grew in size.

In 33 BC, in Ireland, where the Kalans could never reach, and Greenland, which the Kalans never really occupied, the Dossacks began to establish their own kingdom, Great Britain. After that, the Kalans occupied Britain again for 400 years, until 407, when the Kalan Empire had to abandon its military presence in Britain because of the hostility between the Kalan Empire and the elves of the subhuman race. The Dossacks in Greenland can be regarded as establishing their own order in the true sense of the word.

At noon on November 12, 1938 in the unified calendar, an oasis behind the fortress of Manoch

In the oasis's small bazaar, with the sound of bagpipes, a man dressed in Irish clothes tells the legend of the Dossacks.

First of all, he told the homeland of his hometown and the thoughts of his relatives. The more people gathered, the more the conversation turned, and it turned into a cry denouncing the tyranny of the rulers.

One day, the sky will be dark.

Heaven sent down divine punishment, and the storm cleansed the earth from all sin.

Heroes clad in glorious armor will fall from the sky.

Save the people and the dawn.

......

"Smack!!

The whip slammed into the Dossack's body.

The evil servants of the Kahlan nobles were greeted with vicious eyes.

"What are you going to rebel against? Get back to work. ”

The evil servant swallowed a mouthful of saliva and roared loudly, as if to embolden himself.

When the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, the bard was long gone. There was only an empty wooden box, still lying quietly in place.

On the same day, the interior of the fortress

Because, every few days, they have to go to the oasis to replenish fresh water. So, the Kalan nobles stationed in the fortress soon learned about the bard.

The legend of the Dossacks is a taboo for the Federation. So when it reached the Empire, the legendary savior hero became a demon who destroyed the world.

"Why hasn't the Federation's supply arrived? ”

The nobles stationed here are waiting for more than just regular supplies of ammunition from the Federation. What's more, it is already close to the end of the year, and the arrival of the supply troops also means that their rotation of the previous year on the border has arrived.

"Be quiet, Bischup. You have to be aware of the environment, and it's normal to be late. ”

"Hey, you've heard what happened in the Oasis today. ”

There was silence, and no one wanted to mention it.

"Don't you have any ideas? It's just at a time like this? ”

"I said it! Bi Xiupu, be quiet!"

After a short regular meeting, it broke up unhappily.

In the watchtower, the sentries stationed there have already put on panda eyes. The empire lasted for five days, and the endless border military exercises made it impossible for the gang to sleep peacefully.

"Kane! ”

"My lord, I believe in that legend too. ”

"Anything happens, there is a reason for its existence. This has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not, it's better to be cautious in everything. ”

"Okay! I'll do it. ”

Malvi Ulysses, one of the few nobles in the Federation who can still keep his head sane. As a high-ranking nobleman of the Federation who had been stationed in Manoch for thirty years, his years of military experience made him feel the danger of his new neighbor.

The sudden radicalization of the empire was definitely a red flag for Malvi. Although, all previous border wars ended with the Empire withdrawing its troops on its own initiative. But this time, there was a strange feeling, what was the difference, Malvi couldn't figure it out for a while.

The veterans who can fight are gradually moving away, and the new young people are too impetuous. The existing system of the federation is full of contradictions. Just like a, although it looks magnificent on the outside, its interior may have been full of holes for a long time.

All it takes is a heavy rain to destroy a country that has endured centuries.

He felt that his life was about to be pushed to the limit.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

A piercing siren resounded throughout the fortress.
