Chapter 1 Azul of Ulthuan

Ulthuan, this land chosen by the gods, has been recorded as a peaceful land since the emergence of civilization.

The civilization created by the high elves here is gorgeous, powerful and peaceful. But long-term peace brings weak power.

The long-term peace has allowed the high elves to focus their main efforts on research, knowledge and culture. The loose political environment and excellent environment have allowed this group of high elves to create a large number of architectural miracles on the island of Ulthuan.

The shining tower that can guide ships hundreds of miles away, the splendid and huge Phoenix Gate.

A high elf city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people living at the same time, and the environment is like a fairyland.

Coupled with the long lifespan and never lack of food, the legend of high elves has been widely spread among mortals, and many adventurers have driven simple boats to try to cross the rapid ocean to reach this legendary and fertile land.

Seek wealth.

But, is this really the case?

Is this place, which looks like a world in a fairy tale, really as rich, peaceful and powerful as what is spread in the mortal world?

Born in ease and may die in ease.

…………

The wind howled, and a slight amount of dust was blown onto the clothes.

The young man holding a spear with a wooden handle and an iron tip in front of him was looking at the distant sky with his emerald blue eyes, letting the wind blow his long golden hair.

Yes, the young elf boy with a childish look in front of us is our protagonist, but at this time he has a new name; Carter.

Carter didn't quite understand the inexplicable things that happened to him, and he couldn't explain them. He couldn't even ask the handsome elves and beauties around him, so he could only keep it in his heart.

However, anyone would be frightened if this happened to him. However, in his previous life, he was an adult who had been in society for several years and had a relatively strong psychological endurance. After a few days of understanding, he roughly understood his situation. It was just that he had a lot of troubles along the way.

Jokes lowered his reputation among his colleagues.

When he traveled to this new body, Carter also inherited his memory and thoughts, so he had a slight understanding of the surrounding environment. Coupled with the silent intelligence collection these past few days, he roughly understood his situation.

This is an extremely cruel world full of swords and magic. Through dealing with other elves around him, Carter, who also participated in many forums, networks and games when he was young, vaguely felt that this was the legendary world of "Middle Ages Warhammer".

It’s just that many of the specific details are different from what I remember. For example, on the continent where I am now, the elves on this isolated overseas island called Ulthuan did not give birth to the familiar Phoenix King and Eternal Queen.

The Two-King System, not to mention the Maelstrom and other famous figures that you should be able to see when you look up. Except for the map he accidentally saw a few days ago, he even thought it was some unknown Western fantasy world.

However, when the unique terrain and name of Ulthuan appeared in front of him, he had to admit that this was the medieval Warhammer world where there was a high probability that mortals would not end up well.

But many details about the high elves and Ulthuan here are completely different from what I remember.

There is still no trace of the Phoenix King. The entire Ulthuan is nominally ruled by the Eternal Queen, but in fact it is divided into many different kingdoms, ruled by different families.

His current position is; the lowest elf soldier in a small military tower similar to a beacon tower in the northern kingdom of Nagareth.

The land he was in was in the north of Ulthuan. Carter, who had read several Warhammer novels and played Warhammer Total War, knew that not far from here, a sword named Kane's Sword should appear at some point in the future.

Artifact, but there is only one Temple of Cain at this time. From the west, Chaos armies will come across the sea from time to time and land on this land to destroy everything that can be destroyed.

The purpose of the military base where Carter is now is to detect the intruders as soon as possible and then send out a signal to warn the few big cities.

To put it harshly, they are called cannon fodder. After all, this kind of small military turret is only a little big in total. If they fail to evacuate in time and are surrounded when facing an invasion, they will basically have to wait for death.

However, it is precisely because the place is small and broken, and there is no oil or water at all. Every time those Chaos invasions basically ignore this kind of small military base, they will go straight to the richer inner ring of Ulthuan. For Chaos,

For followers, it only makes sense to offer large amounts of sacrifices to their evil gods.

Of course, no alien race has ever reached the inner ring of Ulthuan so far, and at most they have only wreaked havoc in the outer ring.

…………

After traveling into this body, Carter now has an additional family of parents and a younger sister living in Tal-Zhoder (Note 1).

Carter's family lives near one of the few large cities in Nagaris, but they do not live in the inner city. Instead, they live in a village near the outer city. They own more than thirty acres of land. After paying taxes, Carter's family harvests every year.

The remaining amount is enough for the family. However, as the war has become more serious in recent years, living standards have gradually declined. This is why Carter, the former owner of this body, chose to join the army.

After becoming a sergeant, he could receive three maple leaf gold crowns every week to support his family. He ate a lot at a relatively young age. Although the elves in Osu were rich, Nagareth at this time was the owner of the entire Osu.

It is one of the largest territories in terms of population and land area.

It has not yet experienced the Chaos invasion and the subsequent civil war, so the high elves account for more than 700,000 of the total population of only a few million, and the land annexation situation is relatively serious compared to other places.

Looking at the frozen soil in front of him, Carter retracted his thoughts, picked up his two buckets of water, and started walking back.

This land in the eastern part of the continent of Ulthuan has not experienced the various disasters that followed, and has not yet turned into a wasteland in future generations. However, when winter comes, it is still much colder than other places.

At this time, he was wearing a set of white loose clothes, and his lower body was a pair of wide-leg trousers with very wide legs.

The clothing habits of the Ulthuan elves are a combination of Greek and Eastern civilizations. On the one hand, they like clothes that fit well, but on the other hand, their limbs are loose and wide.

As a sergeant under the Elf Kingdom of Nagaris, he can theoretically receive a set of soldier uniforms every year. However, in recent years, as the war and corruption have become more serious, more and more bad phenomena have appeared in this

In the kingdom's army, it is considered good to receive a new set of uniforms every three years. Therefore, although Carter's military uniform is generally intact, there are many patches in invisible corners.

The iron identification tag around his waist records his identity information in detail; Carter, a person from Tal-Drowdel, and a guard of the Nagaryth military pier. Those without this identification tag are not allowed to roam around the territory at will.

After filling the bucket, Carter tied the spear at hand behind his back. In this world of constant natural and man-made disasters, only the weapon in his hand can bring him a sense of security, and Carter's predecessor's spear before time travel made it quite good.

Carter, who successfully inherited his martial arts skills, was now able to use the spear quite skillfully.

After lifting the bucket, he looked around carefully as the Jundun veteran said.

It is already winter, and the forces corrupted by the Chaos Evil God on the western continent may appear at any time, so caution is very necessary.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Jundun not far away appeared in front of Wang Sheng.

The military pier he was on was just an ordinary smoke pier, so the entire pier was made of rammed earth. It had good defense, but its appearance was really average.

Seeing that he was almost there, Carter felt a sense of joy in his heart. Only the strong city wall could bring him a sense of peace of mind. He couldn't help but quicken his pace. Soon, he came to the moat outside the pier wall. This wall was about 30 meters high.

Four meters, there is a gate to the south, and the plaque on the gate reads "Extreme East Pier". There is a hanging tower on the gate, which contains some basic guard weapons such as stones, and controls a suspension bridge. On weekdays, the defenders come and go.

All rely on this suspension bridge.

This lonely little military fort is the most remote military building in the entire eastern part of Ulthuan, bringing a bit of life to this land that is lifeless in winter.

"Open the door! I'm back!"

After carrying two buckets of water for a mile, Carter didn't feel too strenuous, but he just sweated a little. This made Carter have to sigh that the physical fitness of the high elves is indeed not bad.

"Oh, it's Carter who's back!"

The guard on duty popped his head out of the hanging building. After taking a look, he began to operate.

Soon the suspension bridge was lowered, and Wang Sheng, who picked up the bucket again, calmly walked in.

Then the suspension bridge was quickly pulled up and closed again by the guards on the suspended building.

Note 1: Tal-Zrowder is one of the largest cities in Nagareth. Nagareth is the place occupied by the dark elves in Warhammer. Before experiencing the various disasters that followed, it was the strongest among the high elves.

One of the outer ring kingdoms has the largest population and the largest land area (the later Maelstrom and the Civil War wiped out a considerable part of the land of Nagareth and Tyranlok Kingdom). Most of the later dark elves came from this land.
