After experiencing small-scale chaos and cheating due to inexperience, surge in traffic, and poor consideration at the beginning, the carnival has entered a very orderly state.
Although the scale is astonishing, it can guarantee that there will be no vicious accidents (the endless small troubles have never stopped, the lords of the neighborhood committee and the urban management have really worked hard for you), this is not only guaranteed by the action of the soldiers of the empire, as The organizer of the celebration, Sivis, has made great contributions, and the hard work of volunteer workers from all over the world cannot be denied. Millions of tourists travel between their own world and shadow space through the dimensional hub every day. Unprecedented scale celebrations are held in three venues. Cultures and objects from thousands of worlds are displayed on this most open platform in history. And exchanges, every day there are countless new ideas bursting out in this intersection, brand-new cognition and cultural concepts and strange treasures from all over the world let every reveler immerse themselves in the wonderland like Alice in Wonderland In the senses, all of the above are combined to form a magnificent and bizarre picture scroll. If there is an ambitious painter who can make a realistic painting like Qingming Riverside Picture for such a grand occasion...
Well, maybe I have to draw from the age of six and a half until I die.
In the first few days, Qianqian and a group of Joy Party members like Qianqian and the rest had gone through the addiction of throwing away shopkeepers. Every day, we handed over the troubles of organizing activities to Xivis, and handed over the maintenance of rank and order to the urban management. The brigade worked hard and handed over various actual operations to the volunteer teams of several main affiliated worlds, while the high-level empire officials who should really be the hosts of this event wandered around every day with nothing to do, or followed the group of various Random visitors from other worlds took photos here and there, or they were shopping wildly under the enthusiasm of a certain time master, anyway, they were cheating, abducting and harming the common people all the way (Hakurei Reimu), I have to say that in the first four or five days of the carnival Here, that is a joy. But Nima, it's "but" again!
But the happy days are always so fleeting, and the heavy sense of responsibility will eventually fall on your shoulders! Speechless, why can't we play until the end of the festival
"Ahem, Ah Jun, the expression is serious, with a sense of majesty." I, who was slightly paralyzed due to serious distraction, was stabbed in the waist by my elder sister, and I was suddenly shocked, and continued to raise my face and imagine that I was a time-traveling statue. Terracotta Warriors.
The air in Tirisfal Glades is just as...well, highly fermented.
I sniffled, I think Sylvanas should put Tirisfal city greening on the agenda, although the Forsaken don't need fresh air, but you have to leave a note for other races who come here to play Way to survive, last time I heard that the special envoys from Stormwind City let the "fresh air" here smoke out acute appendicitis "By the way, the grandson breathes through the duodenum and wants to return home quickly, just say so!
Under the reminder of my lord sister, I and the other side have been sneaking away for an indeterminate amount of time, lightly rectified our expressions, and tried our best to make a majestic and solemn appearance of the king's land, although it can't keep up with the almost innate majesty of Sandora on the other side , but at least throwing it into the terracotta warriors and horses is considered a porcelain level.
The low rustling sound of the scorched trees in the Tirisfal Glade under the cold wind blowing in my ears could be heard slightly. The specially equipped royal frigate under everyone's feet didn't make a single sound during the hovering process. If the spaceship has started, I even have the illusion that I have landed.
Standing with everyone on the edge of the bow observation platform of this majestic, majestic and golden warship, receiving the scorching gaze of the neat infantry phalanx on the ground below, although it is not the first time I have experienced such a scene, I still feel Very awkward.
This is one of the highlights of the few events organized by the Empire during the carnival. The first highlight is naturally the opening ceremony of the carnival and the recruitment advertisement after the opening ceremony. The second highlight is now, the carnival. On the fifth day of the festival, a military parade is held in the world of Azeroth.
Well, the military parade is held on the fifth day, a relatively weird time period. When I first learned about Sandora’s decision, I was still very puzzled: it was neither the opening ceremony nor the finale. It should have been a military parade for a major project It happened to be on the fifth day of the stalemate, which would not happen in the festivals held by ordinary human beings, not to mention the military parade, which is extremely important to the Xiling apostles who promote the extreme concept of war. Even a military parade with its affiliated race as the main character should be taken very seriously.
After Sandora's explanation, I realized that the number five has a special meaning to the Apostles of Xiling.
In the early days of civilization development, when the empire was far from standing at the apex of thousands of civilizations in the multiverse, the Xiling apostles also experienced the era of difficult development on their home planet and evolution amidst twists and turns. War internal conflicts, conflicts, heresy, these bad roots that plagued most "mortal" races also shrouded Xiling civilization in that ancient age, and divided the history of this great civilization into distinct generations. The fifth generation is considered to be the generation in which the apostles of Xiling smashed the weaknesses of the mortal race and sublimated the entire race to "perfect".
In this generation, Xiling civilization suffered a rebirth from the ashes.
Breaking out of the home planet, conquering the Milky Way, tribal integration, the establishment of the authority system, the confirmation of the emperor's authority, the imprint of racial ideology, the complete removal of emotional shortcomings, and the racial culture of efficiency first... The apostles of Xiling miraculously achieved their goals in the twists and turns and explorations. After going through all the challenges that a mortal civilization may experience, and sublimating, merging, and transforming itself into a new life form with incredible cohesion and countless racial sacrifices, in this generation, the empire conquered for the first time In the universe, it was also in this generation that the empire encountered the abyss for the first time.
When Xiling Nvming, who finally forced herself to leave the cradle of the world, stood up again after Yiping's devastating abyssal counterattack, the name "Xiling Empire" truly became a symbol of awe.
From that day on, "Five" has become a symbol of special meaning in the hearts of the Apostles of Xiling. It is the end of the ancient era, and it is also the first year of the birth of the "Apostle of Xiling" in the modern sense.
A civilization is divided into two by this number. On one side are mortals staggering in multiple worlds, while on the other side they seem to be gods.
I recalled the things that Sandora explained to me in my mind." I couldn't help but feel a little emotional: Even the apostles of Xiling who finally reached the realm of gods actually achieved their final achievements after going through countless hardships and twists and turns. Except for the rich second generation like the gods of Yuyu, I am afraid that any civilization will need to pay the same sacrifice and hard work if it wants to survive.” But even the empire that has gone through so many challenges and finally became extremely strong will have a day of disintegration. impermanence. At this moment, the Royal Cruiser suddenly shook slightly, and the bow of the ship turned to the direction of entering the military parade, and the scene in front of us also changed accordingly. Sylvanas standing next to us as an escort interrupted my thoughts." Pointing to the warped horizon in the distance, the Dark Queen said in a low voice: "There is the big chasm over there, as you can see , It has been more than a year, and it still shows no signs of closing. It is said that it may continue to exist for millions of years. It has stabilized now and has become a holy place for arcane researchers and astrologers. "
Following the right fingers, I also saw the staggering scene in the sky. The horizon is distorted and cracked, and the land composed of boulders and soil gradually tilts up from both sides to the middle, curling into a strange arc." It looks like countless dry claws with bones trying to catch something in the sky, and in these In the sky above the jagged claws, several kilometers above the ground, the air twisted abnormally, and huge black cracks filled the spherical area with a radius of one kilometer." The black-blue clouds composed of high-concentration psionic energy flowed from those The huge cracks in space diffused, rendering the spider web-like crack network into a gloomy appearance, and the dazzling blue lightning jumped in the dense cloud, constantly releasing and neutralizing energy.
And a little farther away from the seemingly extremely dangerous crack area, huge rocks and even floating islands are scattered at high altitudes due to gravitational disorder, "blocking the light from the morning sun, the huge black The figure is constantly rolling under the action of the high air flow, but due to a certain delicate balance, it keeps moving no more than 20 meters. With my enhanced vision, I can clearly see that on the largest floating land There are a lot of new man-made structures - a very heinous way of building.
"Yes, that's dangerous" The aftermath of your power is still stirring in that space, and it's probably going to last for millions of years, and even the tiniest energy lightning is enough to destroy an archmage. The most powerful arcane shield that came out" once those space cracks burst, it is enough to shred the entire Tirisfal, but for the arcanists and warlocks stationed on those lands, "it can be so close It is an unimaginably favorable condition to feel and study the mysteries of psionic energy and space. Even if we send people to drive them out, it won't help, as long as they get the chance, they will come back and crack. "After this repeated several times, the leaders of all parties also acquiesced in this risky research behavior: after all, the above are all the best scholars in Azeroth, and even the king dare not be too rude to them."
"And I'm afraid you are sharing their research results yourself?", I tilted my head slightly and said with a smile.
Cirvanas admitted it quite happily: "Yes, we are indeed studying what happened there. Even the Empire cannot provide us with such a research opportunity: the remnants of a Xiling Emperor's power were destroyed by a large continuous The space cracks are perfectly bound and become the best research samples. Of course you don't care about this, but our scholars are ecstatic. They have never seen such a huge amount of energy that can be bound so firmly in the At the same time, they are trying to find a shortcut to use arcane arts to restrain psionic energy, and this kind of research has already achieved preliminary results."
"Oh...", I looked at the gap in the space that had completely changed the environment of the Tirisfal region in the distance, feeling a little unreal in my heart.
If this is on the earth, how many environmentalists will die!
The curled crust zone that has been classified as an absolutely dangerous area but has been researched by countless desperate arcanists is the place where the last battle of Azeroth's Salvation War broke out, and the fallen apostle general Savi was killed there. , turned into the original energy of the different space in the annihilation reaction of the singularity explosion, and after all the dust settled, the aftermath of the singularity explosion did not dissipate immediately. In the next half hour at that time, it was in the There are eternal scars left on the planet Azeroth: a space storm with a radius of one kilometer, a crack in the crust with a width of tens of kilometers and a depth of magma belt, and an energy ring with a radiation range of hundreds of kilometers. The remaining shock waves of the eruption directly caused the Undercity, which was less than twenty kilometers away from the final battlefield, to be renamed the Dark Canyon that day." Sylvanas had to dig a hole in the western region of Tirisfal, far away from the old capital. Xinkeng said, why are the Forsaken obsessed with cave dwelling so much
The former battlefield has now become the most famous research holy place in the entire Azeroth world. Scholars from Dalaran, Cenarion, Silvermoon City and other places, as well as hermit mages who emerge from nowhere, lead His followers built their own mage towers or research outposts on the floating islands in the sky of the Great Rift and on the cliffs of the endless abyss flowing with magma below, using a kind of fearless spirit that was dead anyway and someone buried them. The miraculous scene, this kind of crazy poor research behavior is not hot, just like Cirvanas said, it is rare for an Emperor Xiling to make a move in person, and the chain reaction of energy after the move will continue The situation that continues stably is even more spectacle. For Xiling apostles who have mastered the higher energy theory, this spectacle may only have novel ornamental value, but for Wangwang who has come into contact with a higher level of civilization knowledge, in psionic energy For the people of Azeroth who are staggering to explore the way of high-dimensional space technology, a random shiver in this place is enough for them to study for more than half a year.
In other words, scientists are the scariest. Those desperate scholars are not doing useless work. Driven by the research enthusiasm that even Tavel is amazed at, the Great Rift research community can produce a new article every hour on average. In just over a year, scholars there have discovered more arcane phenomena from the Great Rift than have been discovered by Azeroth's academic circles in the past few hundred years. Times" is now a popular saying in the field of scientific research in the world of Azeroth: A long time ago, I was also engaged in research work in the gap like you, until I got an arrow in the knee...
This sentence is used by the shabby magicians of Huabang who can't apply for the research quota to laugh at themselves.
How should I put it, I came to Azeroth again today after more than a year, and now seeing what happened here, I once again deeply felt how far-reaching and significant the impact of the actions of the Imperial Army on those ordinary worlds, such as the distant The huge space storm and the broken earth" are also like the neatly lined up warriors of various races below us.
Who would have imagined that the warriors of all tribes of Zenzeras, who used to be incompatible with each other, would stand in the same camp and accept the review with the same sense of honor as they do today
The scarred and harsh environment of Tirisfal Glades is not a suitable place for celebrations, but its special significance as the final battlefield of the Salvation War made us finally choose here for the military parade" from all races, including bearmen and elemental creatures Soldiers of this rare race have already lined up on the artificially created Great Plains below. Half of the millions of Salvation Army soldiers are veterans who survived the Salvation War at that time and recovered their health, and the rest are recent soldiers. The best of the expanded recruits, they wear superalloy armor with a distinctive Azeroth appearance, but the material is obviously far superior to this era." Standing proudly in the somewhat dim morning sun, hundreds of squares The formation is like hundreds of steel plates that can breathe, exuding a deep momentum second only to the Imperial Army phalanx.
Among these phalanxes "some newly formed chapters stand out.
Shrouded in a giant red power armor, carrying a vehicle and using heavy cannons, it looks like a god-killing tauren machine gunner (they can easily enter the "state" by staring at their breastplate for ten seconds)" wearing a light closed spaceship A space battle-type blood elf magister in a battle armor (carrying a thunder battle ax and a limited edition heart of the rising sun), a human templar with a psionic blade in his hand, and a spiritual shield all over his body that is erratic like water waves ( The secondary weapon is a "old" type shotgun that fires psionic crystal dust)...
These are the ferocious special forces we have created after the fusion of technology, the most powerful fighters in the slave armies of the various affiliated worlds.
Not only in Azeroth, in fact, in several other major worlds, similar arms have also appeared, but they are only used in actual combat, and only these phalanxes are in front of them.
"Time is up."
Sylvanas said something in a low voice, and as her words fell, the thick cloud over Tirisfal Glades was pushed away by some powerful force at the same time, fighting against the heavily polluted upper atmosphere of this ghost place The rising sun for almost half an hour finally broke through the heavy fog and shone on the army phalanx below, reflecting cold brilliance on the armor of these soldiers who had stood silently for an hour. Began to move, impassioned military music resounded in the silent world of Tirisfal.
"Fight! Glory! Victory!" Whenever the cruiser flies over a phalanx, the deafening battle roar will resound through the sky. Even I, in this atmosphere, can't help but feel excited...
Inspecting the Salvation Army in the world of Azeroth, this is only a high-level communication between the Empire and Azeroth officials, but the scene will still be broadcast to ordinary people in a limited way, so when the huge royal patrol ship slowly moves across the sky , while reviewing the steel phalanxes below, this exciting scene also appeared on the aerial projections of the three venues at the same time. Wanmin from the macro world looked at this unprecedented scene with surprise or shock. The scene I saw may also give me a new understanding of the empire's affiliated world... "In fact, I think the main purpose of rebroadcasting this military parade is to save the heroes of the world of Azeroth that were lost in the cheating Snow White War. Honestly, if you lose such an adult, you have to get it back, don't you
Cough cough, after the military parade, "Don't show such eyes, you expect me, a guy who takes food and death as his own responsibility, to have a deep impression on the military parade! Although the process is very impassioned, it is true, but in fact, today The military parade may be the highlight for Sandora, but it is just a incident for me. We came here today because we actually wanted to discuss something with Cirvanas.
"It belongs to the World Military Command?"
In the lounge of the Royal Cruiser, I said such a term to the leaders of various races in Azeroth present.
"That's right, the Military Command Department of the Affiliated World, uh, I just named it casually, let's call it that first, specifically, it is a military department specially set up for the current affiliated world of the empire, and the management right is on the side of the empire , but requires the participation of the military commanders of each world... ",
