22. Booming hole... Sky --- for all readers【16/20】
A complete world, no matter how large or small the area of this world is, outside the complete ecological environment, that is, outside the planet, there will always be relatively stable space barriers.
Just as the existence of the atmosphere is to ensure the internal ecological system of the planetary world, the existence of space barriers is also to maintain the relative stability of the world's space system and gravity system, such as the rotation of the world, between revolutions, there will be no tears in the local space due to rotation, and then the whole world will be irreversibly torn.
And the existence of space barriers has another effect.
In this boundless star universe, there are not only the present planes, but also the shadow realm and other forces that exist in other forces, and the complete space barriers of each world have the effect of resisting the erosion of the power of the reverse world, so as to ensure that in the process of reproduction, the life will not be infiltrated by the power that is opposite to the current world.
In order to enter a complete world from the realm of the stars, the first layer of restriction that the invaders need to face is the invisible space barrier outside this world, hundreds of years ago, when the Draenei spaceship crashed into the world of Draenor, it destroyed the space barrier of that small world, directly causing it to be exposed to the eyes of the Legion pursuers, thus triggering the conspiracy and chaos that has lasted for hundreds of years in the world of Draenor.
And the world of Azeroth, the space barrier of this big world was also torn apart ten thousand years ago, through the Well of Eternity, the demons in the stars rushed into this world, and almost set this world on fire at that time, but the advantage of the big world is that its space barrier has the ability to repair itself, of course, after being torn apart, the cracks in the corners and corners that exist are irreparable.
That's why, in the course of 10,000 years of history, there will always be creatures that shouldn't be in this world that inhabit Azeroth... The reason why the human magic civilization dislikes warlocks is also here, every time the warlocks summon demons from the twisted void, they are actually making artificial rifts in the space barrier, although for the whole world, this is not serious, but once the warlock magic is fully circulated, one day, the space barrier of Azeroth will be full of holes.
And now, a fatal problem lies in front of the world and the bewildered creatures, and beneath the ruins of Dalaran, the Scepter of Sargeras, supported by sufficient magical power, with Dalaran as the center, weakens and chiseles through the spatial barriers of the entire world.
The reason why this scepter was created came in handy in this situation, and the reason why this scepter was terrifying, and the reason why it was looked at differently by Sargeras, was precisely because of its terrifying effect.
Tyrion wouldn't explain to the Human Emperor Lothar what was happening in Dalaran, but Lothar could barely guess... After all, in the period before Medivan died in battle, the last Guardian told Lothar everything he saw in the future, and the Emperor knew that the demons would invade, and he even knew that the demons would tear open the doors of the world with the magic of Dalaran.
But it wasn't until he received the news that the undead had invaded Dalaran and that Antonidas and Tulayan were missing, that he realized... The terrifying future that Medivin once told him actually appeared 5 years in advance...
"The devil is coming!"
Lothar clenched his fists, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had been so focused on the war with the Grimbladed Undead that he had ignored the worst and most terrifying future that Medivan had told him... But to remedy...
"It's still too late!"
The emperor turned his head and stared at the situation in the north on the map, the northernmost kingdom of Lordaeron was forced by the pressure of the undead natural disaster to gather the people in the big city, and the south of Gilneys, also under the coercion of the werewolves, gathered the inhabitants together, the Arathi Heights and Hinterland are even more heavily armed, and the human empire is beyond the reach of Quel's Salas, and because of the plant disaster, the elves have to be included in the borders of the empire.
Deployed... The deployment of military forces to deal with the large-scale demonic invasion has been completed without him noticing... Most of the human army's military power has been placed in important urban nodes, and the migration of the population, which takes most of the effort to complete in wartime, has been completed in advance, and the living forces have been gathered together to the greatest extent, and there is no better arrangement than the current one to deal with the invasion of demons.
But all this... Not because of Lothar's foresight, but because of all sorts of disasters, unimaginably ingennial, that forced humanity to make such a choice... There are two hands, a pair of invisible hands, commanding the human empire behind their backs, helping them complete the strategic layout without them even noticing.
And all this is not accidental...
"Tyrion!"
Lothar gritted her teeth and uttered the name.
"How far can you see? All this... Is this all the game you have in store for the day? You're... Knave! ”
"I didn't come to destroy anyone..."
"You may not believe it, but I just want you to unite..."
"I will create a new world, and after the flames are gone, a stronger seed will break through the earth from the heat of the ashes that burn everything, and it will be a... A better new world. ”
The words that Tyrion had said, the arrogant, the insane, the incomprehensible, came to Lothar's mind at this moment, and at this moment, everything was clear.
He has never deceived his opponents, that's what he's for... He didn't come to destroy mankind, he came for the demons, but this cunning undead put the most brutal battlefield of the war with demons in the last frontier of human civilization.
"Your Majesty! The undead are bombarding the Arathi Heights, and their air forces have crossed our lines and are heading deep into the hills of Hillsbrad, aiming for the King's Domain! ”
The Emperor's bodyguard rushed into the room and shouted to the Emperor, who was standing still:
"We must escort you in your retreat! Now..."
"No!"
Lothar took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and pointed on the map, he shook his head, and said in a wistful voice:
"Their goal is not to be a royal realm... Dalaran, Dalaran Plains, that's their goal, quick! Pass my orders to the kings and frontline commanders as quickly as possible! ”
"The demons of the extraterrestrial region are coming! Look away from the undead, even more powerful opponents are coming, and their target is the whole world... Send this message to Kalimdor, the orcs, and the Night Elves... And the Draenei, quick! Send it out as fast as possible! ”

"There's no need to worry, it's just a drill."
In the Far West Wilderness, the mayor of Sentinel Ridge, a little Satin in a well-cut black robe, stood at the entrance to the underground fortress of Sentinel Ridge, reassuring the grumbling farmers, and two hours earlier, an executive order had suddenly been issued to each mayor through the dwarf engineering radio stations in various places.
The real content is only known to the mayor himself, but the consistent tone to the outside world is "drills", which is to avoid fear among the people.
And the "exercise", from the beginning of this spring to the present, the entire Defia Federal District, has been carried out several times, and people have changed from curiosity at the beginning to full of complaints now.
"Who will come all the way to attack us? Little Satinia, this is outrageous! ”
The third-ranked local farmer, old Jason, dressed in a hunting suit, carried a state-of-the-art shotgun, led his three hounds, and held a cigar, and complained to the mayor very dissatisfied:
"The king and their army have been driven to the north, and our fleet is sailing on the sea, who will come and fight us? This exercise is pointless... The machine I bought is still on the farm, and if it is stolen, you will compensate me for the loss!" ”
"That's it, that's it!"
A group of small farmers around also spoke out in agreement with old Jason's words, after the development of the past few years, the farmers in the Western Wilderness have made a fortune more or less, and their voices are much louder, they are not afraid of offending the officials, behind them, there is also the West Yellow Wilderness Farmers Association to support them.
However, little Sardin's identity is somewhat special, his father, old Satin is the president of the federation and the richest local farmer, so these rich men only complain, and no one dares to really do it.
In the underground fortress behind them, local children were screaming and playing games, while women sat and chatted about their daily routines, and although there were many complaints, no one felt nervous, and everyone was used to the monthly drill.
And this huge, strong underground fortress was tendered and built by the merchants of the Black Iron District, full of dwarf style, divided into 4 floors up and down, and can accommodate nearly 30,000 people in the limit state, which is almost the population of the entire Western Wilderness, and such a large bunker is spread throughout the Defia Federation, and almost every town has one such shelter.
Unbeknownst to the farmers, at the same time as they were scolding and entering the underground fortress, all the populations were being transferred in the entire Defia Federal District, even the Black Iron Commercial District, the Kazmodan Mining District, the Cursed Lands, the Valley of Thorns, and so on, which were controlled by the Grimblade Undead, and this was a super-large-scale transfer operation.
And after the population left the gathering place, the garrison legions in each area, those death knights, also put on wartime armor, and led the heavily armed necromantic infantry under the leadership of the commander to the predetermined war zone, which is basically where every big city is located, the western wilderness area is not bad, and on the open ground of the black iron commercial area, several artillery positions have completed combat preparation.
The metallic anti-aircraft guns that had been brought out of the warehouses had faded their cloaks, and the hideous weapons designed by the goblins were aimed at the sky, and on the walls of an important city like Stormwind, they had been copied and improved, firing extremely slowly, but the sunlight heavy artillery designed to destroy enemy strategic facilities was also in place.
Civilians live their lives complaining about government policies, but it is only when they are threatened that they truly understand what those outlandish regulations mean to them.
Tyrion has done everything he can to fully arm the area under his rule, but no one knows whether such an armed force will be able to stop the demons who have invaded the world.
"Stop arguing!"
Little Sardin, who was standing at the entrance to the slowly closing bunker, looked nervously at his pocket watch, and at the moment when the hand set for 240 minutes was reset to zero, he jerked his head up and looked at the window of the fortress.
The sky outside was still blue and white, and the "invasion war" repeated in the telegram did not appear, which made little Sardin breathe a sigh of relief.
No one wants war to come, really, anyone with brains will not actively expect it.
But at the moment when little Satin walked down the stairs, a loud bang sounded above his head, pushing the unprepared mayor to a stagger, and the farmers who were drinking and complaining also realized that the situation was not good, and the women subconsciously hugged the children, while the men grabbed their weapons and rushed to the observation port of the bunker.
And in that narrow observation, they saw... Doomsday!
————————————————————
"Wow"
A dark green pillar of light rushed into the sky from the ruins of Dalaran, this "magnificent" light is so real in the northern Xinjiang, and even in the wetlands, every life can see the changes in the sky as long as they raise their heads.
The blue sky and white clouds are like a basin of reflected water, and the dark green evil energy pillar that rushes up from the ground is like ink poured into the water, and between the waves and vibrations of energy, the entire sky seems to be rapidly polluted, and finally, the white clouds and clear sky in the sky have turned into stars shining with green brilliance, and the ominous light makes everyone tremble.
Lothar stood at the top of the court of the royal city of Alterac, the air that blew from the sky, becoming hot and filled with sulfur, blowing up the only hair he had left, the emperor gripped the legendary sword in his hand, and in front of the power projected by the sky, he felt... Impotence.
Behind him, the assembled royal knights also looked at the sky dumbfounded, and some people with flexible brains had realized... A new era, beginning with destruction, has arrived.
"You guys! You're actively summoning demons! ”
Beneath the deep sea beyond the mountains of the northern frontier, among the waves reflected in the thick water, the temporarily materialized ghost floated beside Tyrion, and he raised his head blankly, looking at the apocalyptic sky reflected in the water, and he shouted loudly:
"Why! Why!!! Are you crazy? Are you crazy? Tyrion! ”
Faced with the accusations of the archmage ghost, Tyrion. Dawnblade's face was calm, he stood on the deck of the Sea Kingship, and in the strange water curtain in front of him, he saw the green light, and he also saw his own face, and he saw the stubborn eyes.
As if in reply, he whispered:
"It's simple, because we're going to kill them..."
"On our battlefield, in our territory, kill every demon cub who enters this world, only in this way can we ensure that they die cleanly."
"Only then can we kill them... Not a single one left! ”
"Shut up, noisy mage, you'll soon see for yourself how we deal with demons... At that time, you fools will also know that our cause... The cause of the Dark Blade is just! ”
