It's rare to have a planet in the universe that is full of deserts, and if there is, it's hard to give birth to life on it.

But there is such a planet in a corner of the Kamigawa Galaxy, and on this desert planet, a group of life was stubbornly born.

Shurima.

Because of the lack of resources, they have not reached the space level civilization for nearly 10,000 years.

But they are still like every life in the universe, subconsciously wanting to explore the deep universe, but because of an incident more than 20 years ago, it has changed.

More than 20 years ago, that advanced civilization only fought an encounter here, but that war caused nearly half of the Shurima people to suffer, and the corpses were mountains and blood, and the smoke of gunpowder could not be stopped.

Until now, most of the satellites launched by the Shurima into the atmosphere have been defensive and surveillance.

The sound of sirens resounded throughout the air defense base, and the sound of the communicators on the various lines never stopped, and the calls from the royal family to the administrative branches of the various regions, as well as the military, kept the staff of the entire base busy.

But even so, their attention was all on the information coming back from the early warning radar.

For the first time in twenty years, air raid sirens come to mind.

This means that something has appeared in the sky above Shurima!

……

"Yes, General, the intelligence is not wrong, please align the coordinates in the direction of (2775, 3718)...... We can't judge, but please take precautions! ”

"Mushiva! Mushiva! Dog's day, what about the people on duty?!!! ”

"Don't you read the intelligence? All the data was sent this morning, do all the people in your academy eat rice??? ”

"Hey! Feed? Feed? I'm looking for a fellow Nasus! I've said it 3,000 times, don't you understand?!! ”

"Oh my God, don't do it again......"

……

The sound of invective and prayer was incessant.

The breathing of the operator on duty, including the bellows of the machine, was scorched, and the tense atmosphere in this hall was pulled to the top, and everyone stared at the light point on the large central screen and held their breath.

The large central screen is linked to the communication satellite in the outer layer of Shurima's atmosphere, and the images strung back from it will be monitored by the watchman 24 hours a day.

And now, in the vast universe, among the countless shining stars, one is constantly getting bigger, as if something is approaching.

Twenty minutes later, the person in charge of the air defense base was notified that Fellow Nasus had arrived, so he dared to meet him, regardless of his sweat-soaked clothes.

"How long ago did you find out?"

"Thirty minutes ago...... And judging by its speed, it has reached sub-light speed...... It is estimated that it will take another ten minutes to reach the sky over Shurima. ”

"Could it just be a ship passing by our Shurima?"

"No, after calculation...... We're on the course of that thing. ”

"Did it slow down?"

"That's exactly what I feared......"

"Looks like it's really targeting us." Nasus's eyes froze, and under the guidance of the person in charge of the base, he came to the monitoring hall.

Everyone saw this old man, who could only be heard in rumors, dressed in a white robe, and his rickety body could only be supported by a cane.

But even though he was as old as a dead branch, Nasus's eyes were still shining, and he looked at the scene on the big screen with a blank face, faintly not angry.

Some people's attention was drawn to him, and they began to whisper that since the prince went to Kamigawa to study twenty years ago, Shurima was left with only the queen in the royal family, and since the queen was not good at handling government affairs, the global decisions fell to Nasus and his son.

There are many rumors about them, some say that they forcibly took Daquan from the queen, and some say that the prince actually did not go to Kamigawa at all, but was only assassinated by them, so that they could rightfully gain the right to rule.

There are a lot of topics like this, but there are also positive aspects, but the discussion is not high, and not many people pay attention to it, and everyone still prefers conspiracy theories more.

"Can you zoom in?" Nasus asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's already the highest-resolution image we can resolve." The person in charge wiped the sweat from his face and said.

Nasus's brow furrowed as he could already tell from the outline of the thing on the screen that it was a small, golden spaceship.

"Did the military people aim their weapons at this thing?" Nasus asked again.

"Yes." The person in charge replied.

"Let them pull out."

"What?" The person in charge suspected that he had misheard.

"Let them get out!" "If the target finds out that we are aiming a weapon at him, it is likely to be judged as hostile, and even a small ship of a superior civilization is extremely dangerous to us without knowing it. ”

"Yes! Be! Did you hear that, hurry up and notify the military!! ”

"Yes, please wait a minute...... The nuclear silos on the military's side have been closed. ”

Nasus thought for a while: "Notify the target of the corresponding location coordinates, all administrative districts within a radius of six hundred kilometers, let them evacuate the residents, and if they can't evacuate, let them hide in the bomb shelter!" ”

Ever since the tragedy of twenty years ago, the Shurima have explored the underworld far beyond the stars, digging bomb shelters that can house the entire planet's inhabitants.

After conveying Nasus's order, the person in charge was still waiting for his next instructions, and at this time, Nasus's brain was also running rapidly, he had actually been thinking about this situation today, but when the spaceship of the superior civilization really appeared in the field of vision, it was difficult to get along with the solution.

I don't know if it's something that was a few eras ahead of Shurima.

Everyone's eyes were focused on this scholar with the highest power in Shurima at this moment, and this invisible pressure gradually gathered into a mountain, and the old man was out of breath.

What he didn't expect was that the queen, who had lived in seclusion for many years, actually contacted him at this time.

Taking over the communications officer's liaison, Nasus respectfully waited for the Queen's instructions, believing that at such a crucial moment, the Queen might be able to make decisions that would affect the fate of the entire Shurima.

Including everyone present, they all thought so.

I don't know who connected all the communication networks, in the cluster speaker, the queen's voice came into everyone's ears very clearly, deafening:

"You old dog! What are you doing?!! Why do you want to put a nuclear bomb at my son?!!! ”

Nasus rubbed his ears and replied with difficulty, "That's ...... This, Your Majesty, I don't understand what you're talking about? ”

"Don't play dumb! My son just messaged me! Said that his spaceship showed that you had aimed all of Shurima's nuclear bombs at him!! ”

"Spaceship...... He, his ship...... You're saying that the ship is ......"

There was a click, and the sound of the communicator falling on the table was extremely crisp.

Nasus couldn't believe his ears, and his trembling voice affected everyone, especially the queen herself, and made an almost impossible idea, like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, in the most quiet environment, the sound of entering the water shook the soul, and the ripples on the surface of the lake could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Yes, Nasus!"

The queen's voice was already choked, "Yes, my son...... My son, he's coming home! ”

Finally, after twenty years of absence, Shurima, the one who once looked up at the stars in countless dark nights to find your direction.

He went home.
