Your war hammer is too fake

Anshi Zhendan has a very important setting: whether the Eastern dragon really exists is uncertain. At least in the era with clear historical records, the dragon has always been a legend, and no one has ever really seen this creature. In the cultural core of Anshi Zhendan, the dragon is a spiritual symbol and a manifestation of the national characteristics of the Zhendan people, rather than a certain military book and military branch.

"You have never worshipped a real dragon, but you still respect it?" Yuan Bo lowered his head and thought, "The world is so big, there really is nothing strange... If so, what do you want?"

"Your men should have reported to you that I learned the whereabouts of Shenzhu from Ersun," An Jiyue said while using her super senses to carefully sense every change in Yuanbo's emotions. "As long as the agreement is successfully signed, I will personally lead the team and lead the army to search for Shenzhu's whereabouts and rescue him after I return."

"There is no mutual trust between the Celestial Empire and you," Yuan Bo said.

"If we just sit here and talk nonsense face to face, then we will never have any mutual trust," An Jiyue said as she took out two cans of Coke from her waist. With a wave of her hand, the temperature of the cans and the brown liquid inside dropped sharply. "There has to be a beginning, and then there will be a process and an end."

"…This matter is of great importance, and it is not something I can decide on my own." Yulong took the can handed over by the Jiedushi, and then opened it like the latter. "I need to go back to Weijing and ask my father and mother to make the decision themselves."

"I don't care," the girl said, taking a sip of the cold happy water. "I can wait, but I won't just wait like that. Speaking of which, there seem to be a lot of demons running around in Xinwu?"

"This is a military matter for Weixi," Yulong said immediately, "outsiders are not allowed to interfere."

"So I will go to Shangyang first to meet Zhaoming. My base is in Shangyang, and I don't know how different the Shangyang in this world is from the Shangyang in my 'hometown'," An Jiyue shrugged. "Anyway, I will make you believe me."

Chapter 373: Necessary Trivia

Time quietly came to the year 2504 of the Imperial Calendar.

While An Jiyue was in Zhendan, enjoying her rare leisure time, the development of Xuanshui did not stagnate due to the temporary departure of its owner. The work of separating the flying ship manufacturing department from the Xuanshui Arsenal and reorganizing it into the Tianhe Shipyard, as well as the work of splitting the existing aviation force into the Army Aviation and the Air Force, were carried out simultaneously and completed almost at the same time.

Before the New Year's Eve, Xiao Yiyue personally watched over the group of people to complete the above two tasks. There are still a certain number of Lizardmen remnants active in the Dragon Islands, but the matter of clearing out these Lizardmen does not require the Shuofang Army Jiedushi to personally inquire. In contrast, Xiao Yiyue is most concerned about the transportation of the 20,000 Anxi troops and their equipment and supplies.

The army of Minaret City has already set out. Anyway, the winter in the Indian subcontinent is just like that (except in the plateau areas), and it will not hinder military operations. According to the estimates of the staff, it will take at least two months for this army to reach the eastern border of Chengze Prefecture, and the 10,000 Shuofang troops specially selected have already rushed to the enemy's route to build camps in advance.

It takes six days for a grasshopper-class transport boat to fly from Xuanshui to Jingning. Including the time required for maintenance and replenishment, it takes exactly half a month to go back and forth. In order to ensure the minimum living conditions, a single grasshopper transport boat can only transport a maximum of 40 infantrymen, or 15 cavalrymen plus their mechanical horses at a time. Xiao Yiyue has allocated a full 11 transport boat squadrons for this operation, but even so, he can only send half of the 20,000 Anxi troops, including cavalry and artillery, to the front line on time.

Xiao Yiyue was troubled by this. No matter how she calculated, the transportation capacity was not enough. Fortunately, there is always a way out. She sent the difficulties she faced to the chat group, and then got advice from An Jiyue: the dog group leader told her that there is a kind of spell in the psychic system of the Faceless that can make people enter a state of suspended animation, and the duration depends on factors such as the physique of the recipient. If it is a trained human soldier, it is basically no problem to be suspended in death for a week, and An Zhendan just happens to have a group of Faceless.

A Grasshopper transport boat can only carry forty infantrymen at a time, but if the people are in a state of suspended animation, there is no need to prepare additional food storage, toilets and other living facilities on the ship, nor is there any need to consider ventilation or anything like that. Moreover, more people can be crammed into a room of the same size, as long as they are fixed and anti-collision measures are taken.

The governor of the Shuofang Army drove a Swift-class ship and escorted the only Military Horse-class ship to the Southland, bringing back dozens of Faceless Men who were temporarily placed in Tal-Yuer to Xuanshui. After listening to Xiao Yiyue's request, Jilan Soul Blade immediately said that this psychic technique was not difficult, and basically any adult Faceless Man could do it.

Is it that there are too many people who need to be treated?

After the Faceless Men arrived at Xuanshui, Lu Hang took the opportunity to conduct a test. The results showed that after using the suspended animation, a Grasshopper transport boat could now fit 200 brothers, and it also saved the passengers from having to endure the pain of six days in a small and dark cabin. The only two disadvantages of this method are that the Faceless Men are exhausted, and that after the recipient comes out of the suspended animation state, it takes a day to a week to recover the ability to move.

By exploiting the Faceless Men, Xiao Yiyue, who temporarily played the role of a capitalist, sent 20,000 reinforcements to Jingning in just one and a half months, all with equipment, at the cost of the collective exhaustion of the Faceless Men led by Jilan. The key point was that it was not until after the transportation that Xiao Yiyue realized that he seemed to have a mind engine... If he used the power of this thing to amplify the psychic spell, Jilan alone could complete the task without being too tired.

In any case, the 20,000 Anxi troops were deployed in time, and the mobile forces of Sanhe Prefecture were also exhausted. The Anxi Army had a total of 50,000 combat troops in Sanhe Prefecture, of which 20,000 went to Chengze Prefecture, and another 20,000 needed to guard the Pingshan defense line, and the remaining 10,000 were distributed in various key points. The latter two could not be easily moved.

As for the Anxi Army's troops outside Sanhe Prefecture, there are two groups. One is the garrison in Kewang Fort, which currently maintains a size of about 8,000 people; the other is 4,000 Kaldorei plus 3,000 Tiger People, who are currently in the empire. After the second anti-interference campaign, An Jiyue did not transfer them back, but let them stay with West's army for the time being.

After defeating the high elves' intervention army, the Lords of the Holy Scriptures did not forget the two little Karami who dared to interfere. Bogio managed to escape the beating because he was sensible and had some coincidences; the wild elves of the Laurentlauren Forest refused the request for apology and mobilized their troops to fight at all costs.

The Lords of the Holy Scriptures certainly would not tolerate such a confused person. Four thousand Kaldorei and three thousand Tigermen made a special trip, and then the wild elves disappeared.

Don't get me wrong, the Kaldorei and the Khajiit only defeated them, they didn't massacre them. Although the Einir's lifestyle is similar to the Asrai, their cultural customs are more like the Asur. Their style of doing things is not as extreme as the Wood Elves, so after the battle, the Kaldorei announced their punishment to the Einir: everyone will be forced to return to Ulthuan. From now on, there will be no more wild elves in this world, and those who survive will all become high elves!

When the fleet sent by the Phoenix Court to take the captives home slowly entered the south dock of Marienburg under the full surveillance of the Wester Air Force, the white bean sprouts who came to pick them up found that in addition to the prisoners of war headed by Prince Ivan, there were also thousands of sad, angry, regretful, and confused wild elf cousins ​​standing beside them, anxiously waiting for the verdict of fate.

Although the process was extremely tangled, the high elves finally took these people with them. When the fleet returned to Lothern, Finubar publicly praised the fleet commander's decision. The Phoenix King decided to accept these cousins. He generously allowed these new bean sprouts to settle in Itain. After all, the high elves were actually a declining race, and they did not reject the addition of new blood.

The wild elves left, but the towns and villages they left behind were not abandoned. Kaldorei and tiger people became the new masters of the Laurenlorn Forest. They took over everything left by the wild elves and planned to turn it into a secret military base.

War, only war never changes. After finishing the second anti-interference campaign, extorting a large ransom from Ulthuan, and dealing with the wild elves, West and his army quickly joined a new war. After all, their lord still owed a certain governor more than a million points, plus a rare card.

In order to repay the debt as soon as possible, Egwene set her sights on Duncanwald Forest. The bitter cold of winter could not hinder the will of the Elector. It was rather the best time to clear out the inhabitants of the forest when all the leaves had fallen. Anyway, the logistical support capabilities of the Knight Princess far exceeded those of her counterparts in the Empire.

In order to support this operation, Coast Heavy Industries has made a lot of preparations. Even if the soldiers of West County are in the depths of Duncanwald Forest, they can go to the mobile bar for a drink during their rest time, or go to the mobile bathhouse for a hot bath, or go to the department store to see if there are any gadgets they need - all of the above facilities are converted from Grasshopper, or Meco-class transport boats. Except for the lack of technicians, the logistics department can provide everything the soldiers want.

Considering that everyone is Imperial, not Bretonnian, the lack of technicians is not a big deal (Note 1).

Relying on strong logistics, West's army reaped a lot of rewards in the "Winter Security Rectification Operation", successively razing more than a dozen beastman tribes and countless forest goblins, as well as a number of mutant gangs and cult strongholds. Because the West people had a fleet of gunboats on standby all day and a full-scale combat wizard to help them, their losses were quite minor. In most cases, when the soldiers shouted and rushed forward, the enemy had often been beaten to pieces by the bombardment from the sky.

The outstanding performance of the Sky Fleet naturally attracted widespread attention. The Reiks finally gave up their demand for anti-gravity engine technology, and the technology transfer agreement was quickly signed. The newly established Reik Metal Corporation obtained the entire set of Grasshopper-class technology except for the anti-gravity engine, and the keel of the first Reik Territory-produced Meko-class ship had already been laid.

The Nunns obtained the technology license almost at the same time as the Reiks, and even the terms of the agreement were similar. In order to compete with their counterparts in Altdorf, the newly-minted Nunn Steel Company not only started construction of four Meko-class ships at the same time, but also spent a lot of money to hire a group of Mozarts from the Tianhe Shipyard to serve as technical consultants.

As a powerful province second only to Reikland in comprehensive strength, the Midden people are also thinking about flying fleets. However, compared with the Reikland and Nunn people, the Midden people are not barbarians who don't understand technology, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do something as powerful as Ulric's Thunder, but they are relatively not so good at engineering and don't have the ability to build their own flying ship manufacturer.

After much deliberation, Boris Todbringer decided to place an order with Coast Heavy Industries.

"…Just as I expected," An Jiyue said to herself after reading the last assessment report in the Holy Book of War, "the military revolution has begun."

Note 1: The real-life French army had a notable feature: they had to have prostitutes wherever they went. French soldiers could fight on an empty stomach, but they could not do without prostitutes to satisfy their physiological needs. Even Napoleon and Charles de Gaulle could not make these soldiers control their lower bodies.

Author's words: Reply to reader "Yuyuan":

Don't ask how he usurped power. The answer is that the Monkey King's usurpation of power was already in the old version of Zhendan, and it was retained in the new version. As for the specific process, GW didn't say it. The Dimensional Stone is a naturally formed product and has nothing to do with the Horned Rat. This thing was not thrown into the mortal world by the Horned Rat.

Answer to reader "Reader1659590858":

In the official setting, it is called "palace". For such proper nouns, I usually use the official name directly.

Answer to reader "Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqie":

The Horned Rat was not worshiped by the Rat, but existed before the Rat race was born. In addition, a background story mentioned that the Horned Rat was actually Scavo, the son of the dwarf death god Gazul. According to the usual nature of Warhammer, such rumors that sound particularly bizarre are usually true (although they are often eaten by GW in the next version).

Chapter 374: Night in Weijing (Part 1)

Zhendan Dynasty, Weijing, the ancestral home of the Bing family.

As the largest city in all of Warhammer, Weijing always reminds An Jiyue of Baijing, although she has never been to the capital of the Republic. This magnificent city is located at the easternmost part of Changyuan, but it is not as close to Changyuan as Nangao, and there is actually a short distance between the two.

The vast urban area of ​​Weijing consists of two parts: Sun City and Moon City. This not only corresponds to the philosophical concept of the harmony of yin and yang, but also reflects the top political structure of Aurora, that is, the Dragon Emperor Shen Yang and the Moon Queen Gui Yin jointly rule the world. In addition to Sun City and Moon City, Weijing actually includes a third part, which is also the most special part: Haotian City located on the top of the mountain.

The so-called Haotian City is the thing floating above Weijing in the Hammer 3 map. Although Haotian City is made into a floating city in the game, it is actually located in the center of Weijing City, on the top of a mountain that literally towers into the clouds. The Great Five Elements Compass, the Garden of Heaven, the Temple of the Twin Moons, and the Heavenly Court are all here. This is both a holy place and a forbidden place. For the common people under the rule of the Celestial Empire, being able to set foot in Haotian City is a matter of honor for the family.

Standing on a loft in the Bing family's ancestral home, An Jiyue could see the buildings looming in the clouds as long as she raised her head. Without using [Clairvoyance] or [Spiritual Vision], the girl could not see the details of Haotian City with human eyesight alone; but in the second vision unique to spellcasters, even if she did not deliberately perceive it, the girl could clearly feel the magical wind that was restrained and guided by the Great Five Elements Compass hanging high in the sky, which was so majestic that it made her heart tremble.

The barrier towers of the Jiuzhou barrier, even the highest level Tongtian Tower, do not have such exaggerated power. The Great Five Elements Compass can control and manipulate the magic wind of the entire Zhendan territory, but the Jiuzhou barrier will deliberately disperse the magic wind and distribute it as equally as possible to each Tongtian Tower to prevent a barrier tower from mastering too much power.

The Great Five Elements Compass and the Jiuzhou Barrier are highly similar in function, both of which achieve a certain purpose by controlling the wind of magic. The difference between the two is that the latter is much more complex in structure. The Jiuzhou Barrier has thousands of three-level barrier towers in total. The advantage is that the redundancy is extremely high, even if some barrier towers are lost, it will not affect the operation of the entire Jiuzhou Barrier, and the Jiuzhou Barrier can perform more sophisticated and in-depth operations on the wind of magic; the disadvantage is that the cost of building and maintaining the Jiuzhou Barrier is extremely expensive.

Simply put, the Jiuzhou barrier is a more expensive and more powerful large five-element compass. Although the former is extremely expensive, it is definitely worth the money in terms of effect. Of course, the latter also has its own unique advantages: the barrier tower of the Jiuzhou barrier can never be miniaturized enough to be installed on a vehicle, but the five-element compass can.

"We have to find a way to get this technology..." An Jiuyue murmured softly.

The first person the Jiedushi thought of was Bing Ruolan, whose holy scripture camp happened to be the official version of Zhendan. Unfortunately, this unlucky group member was too unlucky. After recovering her memory, Bing Ruolan lost even the minimum ability to move, and could only enter a deep sleep state to avoid the pain brought by the broken soul. Now Bing Ruolan can have two hours of free time every day, because An Jiyue happened to catch Dursu and used psychic technology to make this forest elder suffer in her place.

The reason why An Jiyue specifically mentioned Zhaoming during the meeting with Yuan Bo was because she had already decided on the first candidate for the sacrifice to cure Bing Ruolan, the Great Stomach God whose main body was in the material world. Among the three candidates for sacrifice, the Great Horned Rat was too treacherous and cunning, and the Jiedushi was not very sure that he could catch this guy; although Hasut was relatively easier to catch, in order to force it to descend into the material world, it was estimated that it would be necessary to directly penetrate Zar Naggrond's defenses and force the Chaos Dwarf into a desperate situation.

In comparison, the Big Glutton is the easiest to deal with among the three. His body is deep in the Dimensional Stone Desert, unable to move or run away. The Ogre race is also easier to deal with than the Rat and the Bad Short - so what if the whole race is made up of monster infantry, can they defeat a flying battleship? Skaven and Chaos Dwarves have both black technology and magic proficiency, so they have some counter-attack capabilities when facing the sky fleet; while the Ogres have no technology and their magic level is also quite poor (Note 1).

Since they have decided to take action against the big eater, the first step is to find a way to get along with the stinky brother. However, as a quasi-mental patient, Zhaoming's mental state and behavior patterns are really... well, unpredictable.

The girl prepared several plans for this, and she would decide which one to use depending on the situation. Before leaving for Shangyang, she first followed Yuan Bo to Weijing. To be exact, it was Yuan Bo who took the initiative to invite her to Weijing.

The reason given by the Lord of the Jade Court was to facilitate communication between the two parties. After all, An Jiyue essentially proposed a covenant that would bind the two parties together, and she also wanted the Heavenly Court to endorse her actions in the old world. This matter was of great importance and must be decided by the two saints themselves. As for the real reason, it was not difficult to guess. At least at this stage, the two parties actually had no mutual trust at all, and normal people would definitely not allow a walking nuclear bomb to wander around their home at will.

An Jiyue was not here to make an enemy of the Dragon Gods, so she would not refuse the invitation. From the beginning, the girl expected that Yulong would find a reason to take her to Weijing to prevent her from being out of the sight of the Dragon Gods. The only thing the girl did not expect was that after arriving in Weijing, Yuanbo actually appointed Bing Ruomei to be responsible for receiving her.

On the day of arriving in Weijing, An Jiyue moved into Bing Ruolan's home in this world.

The Jiedushi received the highest level of hospitality in the Bing family. Bing Ruomei, who was extremely politically sensitive, didn't need Yuanbo to hint at anything, she could taste some subtle flavors from various details. When Yuanbo went to Haotian City to meet his parents, and was gone for a whole week without any news, Bing Ruomei took An Jiyue to wander around Weijing, doing her best to prevent the Jiedushi from feeling bored, dissatisfied, anxious, etc. because of waiting.

Bing Ruolan's cheap elder sister actually worried too much. An Jiyue regarded this period of waiting as a rare vacation. In addition to checking the reports sent by various parties on the War Canon every day, she paused all the work at hand to relax her tense nerves since she crossed over.

Unfortunately, this leisurely time only lasted for a week. In order to prevent herself from becoming lazy, after a week in Weijing, An Jiyue once again tightened up her work. She first handled the government affairs accumulated during this period remotely, and then talked with Xiao Yiyue in the chat group about taking the lead in establishing NATO.

When the Asrai-Caldor coalition invaded the Desolate Castle, An Jiyue had a plan to form a close military alliance. At that time, the first-hand news about the invasion of the elven coalition had to go through a long detour before being delivered to the Lords of the Holy Scripture. The locals might think that this intelligence transmission efficiency is amazing, but for the Lords of the Holy Scripture who are accustomed to the speed of information exchange in the Internet age, it is too slow! It is so slow that it reminds people of the era of dial-up Internet access.

The Order camp (in parentheses, excluding local elves) needs a more efficient communication mechanism and needs to be able to coordinate quickly when necessary, including but not limited to allowing foreign troops to pass through, providing supplies and intelligence, and even fighting side by side. After combining the above needs, An Jiyue realized that she needed an organization similar to NATO or the Warsaw Pact.

Thus, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO for short, came into being.

[Admin#Xiao Yiyue: So, we won't invite the Empire to join for now? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: The situation of the empire is rather delicate. I cannot let NATO become a laughing stock just after its establishment. ]

NATO's initial members include all existing and future members, plus the Mountain Kingdom and the Cathay Dynasty. Needless to say, the Lords of the Holy Scriptures are not the five hundred baboons in Lingao who prioritize infighting, so they must join the group; the dwarves are already the staunchest allies of An's Cathay, so they will naturally join NATO; the Cathay Dynasty must be pulled into this great alliance of the Order camp, both rationally and emotionally.

But as for the Empire... To be honest, An Jiyue didn't know how to deal with this matter.

Author's words: Haotian City is as shown in the picture.

Answer to the reader "Tian Xing Dao Zhe":

The dog group owner is not a man playing a female character. The description of advanced sex conversion is "this trait will change the gender of the traverser from the root level", which means that anyone who chooses this trait will automatically become a female from the moment they cross over.

Chapter 375: Night in Weijing (Part 2)

An Jiyue stayed in the attic from early morning till late evening.

The Jiedushi's breakfast and lunch were delivered by the Bing family servants, and they were eaten directly on a table in the attic. Originally, Bing Ruomei was going to continue to take An Jiyue to visit Weijing today. As the largest and most prosperous metropolis in the world, Weijing has enough places worth visiting to visit for a month without repeating anything, but An Jiyue said she didn't want to go out today.

"May I ask An Jiedu," the Bing family's eldest lady asked at the time, "Is there anything I have failed to do in my hospitality?"

"It would be better if you and your second sister could be even," An Jiyue did not directly answer Bing Ruomei's question, but sighed, "She is too insensitive, and you are too sensitive."

"An Jiedu is right." For someone like Bing Ruomei, this much was enough. "Then I will take my leave first. If An Jiedu needs anything, just tell the housekeeper."

After Bing Ruomei left, An Jiyue asked the servant of Bing Mansion for a reclining chair and lay on it for the whole day. She originally wanted to ask Jin Zhifan for a reclining chair as well, but unfortunately the deputy captain rejected the proposal with silence.

The sun was setting and the sky was gradually getting dark. The night in Weijing was as quiet as ever. Even though Changyuan was less than a hundred miles to the north, and outside Changyuan was the Eastern Prairie filled with all kinds of monsters, at least at this moment, they could not disturb An Jiyue's thoughts and plans for the future.

[Group leader #An Jiyue: The internal problems of the empire are too complicated. Although Karl Franz is the emperor, he cannot represent this scattered regime. He has many political enemies and opponents within the empire. It is true that the Mountain Kingdom is actually more scattered than the empire. To put it bluntly, the dwarves are just a city-state alliance, but they do not have this problem. ]

[Admin#XiaoYiYue: What do you mean? I'm not very familiar with Warhammer. ]

Although he possessed false memories granted by the Holy Book of War, the governor of the Shuofang Army knew nothing about things outside of Zhendan and neighboring areas; moreover, even if he knew something about Zhendan, it was An's Zhendan, not the Zhendan of this world.

[Group leader #An Jiyue: There are also contradictions, conflicts, and even wars between different clans in dwarven society, but due to cultural and traditional factors, dwarves can always maintain a consistent stance when dealing with foreign countries, which means that in the framework of NATO, the "Mountain Kingdom" can be regarded as a complete whole. But the Empire cannot do that. The internal contradictions of the Empire are much more acute and intense than those of the dwarves, and they never hide this from outsiders.]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: Let me give you an example. If we accept the Empire as a member of NATO, and then at a NATO meeting, Carl, as the emperor, agrees to something on behalf of the Empire, but someone in the Empire is dissatisfied and openly questions the emperor's decision, what should we do? The North Pacific Treaty Organization is a military alliance built for the end of time. It must not become a makeshift team, let alone a laughing stock. It is precisely because of this concern that I am hesitant about whether to accept the Empire. 】

[Administrator#Xiao Yiyue: Naro or more...]

[Ewen de Richelieu: Even with my full support, Ka Da Hammer won't work? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: The key to the problem is not whether Karl can suppress the opposition, but that the internal contradictions of the empire cannot be made public. Once this kind of mess is known to everyone, it will inevitably affect the operation of the entire NATO system, and seriously damage NATO's prestige - if we allow the empire to become an initial member of NATO. ]

[Evan de Richelieu: What should we do then? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: If I had a solution, would I still be so entangled...]

In Warhammer Medieval, bulk regimes are the mainstream, but the problem is that there is a difference between bulk and bulk: taking the dwarves as an example, the High King does not have the power to force orders on other strongholds. The High King relies more on the friendship of the same clan and his own prestige to persuade the kings of other strongholds, but this does not prevent the dwarves from forming a unified voice when facing the outside world.

The High Elves are also a scattered regime with countless factions within it, but with the exception of the Caledonians, even if other kingdoms do not submit to the Phoenix Court, at least they will not openly undermine it in front of outsiders; the Dark Elves are even more scattered than the High Elves, but Nicki Minaj uses his brutality, strength, and political tactics to ensure that he has absolute authority, can command various Druz cities, and when necessary, he can wipe out those who dare to oppose him.

Kislev was relatively less scattered. At least before An Jiyue intervened in the internal politics of the Ice Kingdom and indirectly promoted the semi-independent status of Praag and the Eastern State, the Tsar was the only one who had the final say in this country. As for Tyrell, Estalia, Araby, Indy and the like, they were not important to the general trend of this world.

Needless to say, the Zhendan Dynasty, as I said before, is just a division of the dragon sons, not a separation, let alone a split. As long as the two saints are still there, Zhendan is a solid and tight whole, and the degree of centralization far exceeds any existing regime in Warhammer. As for Nibon...

[Group leader #An Jiyue: Let me say something off topic. Life in the Warhammer world is really miserable. In the old setting, Nibon had a super strong navy called the Dragon Fleet, but in the new setting, the Dragon Fleet has become the Sea Dragon Sister's. ]

The settings of Aurora and Nebon just reflect the changes in their status and influence in the world. In the ancient version of Warhammer, Aurora and Nebon share the same military chart, with common arms, and Nebon even has some additional arms, and those arms are basically all cherry blossom-flavored.

Later, the setting of Aurora gradually became independent and distinctive, but it turned to the direction of Qing + Mongolia, and created the Aurora wizard with pigtails and the weird things like Mrs. Zhao Yabo. It was during this period that the setting of Nipeng's dragon fleet appeared, and even the Yamato-class battleships were included, highlighting a difficult clam.

When Warhammer was updated to the seventh edition, Cathay became a weird mixture of the styles of Ming and Qing dynasties, and a detailed description of the Cathay army appeared for the first time in "Throne of Chaos", which made many Hammer fans both excited and afraid: the expectation was that the official, even FW, would release the Cathay camp, and the fear was that the style of the Cathay camp would become some kind of indescribable existence.

Later, the End of Time shattered all illusions for a time - everyone knew that Warhammer was over. The rationality of the Hammer guys told them that there would be no more Zhendan, after all, the whole planet had exploded. Unexpectedly, Total War: Three Kingdoms allowed the gamers to see the consumption power of the Chai Nisi market, and the invisible hand finally played its role correctly, and then there was the Zhendan in Hammer 3, a Zhendan that was more powerful than the most daring fantasy of the Hammer guys.

A Zhendan whose mere existence is destroying the style of Warhammer.

[Group leader #安朁月: The official has clearly stated that when they designed the Warhammer 3's Cathay, they not only deliberately avoided elements such as Yuanqing, Bangzi, and Xiaorizi, but also deliberately avoided the death elements that are very common in Warhammer, such as the skulls that can be seen everywhere. Although the Hammer guys don't really care whether Cathay has death elements, as long as there are no impurities such as Qing mixed in. 】

In addition to strict control over the painting style, the new version of Aurora's settings are full of "official exaggerations". Before Hammer 3 appeared, An Jiyue was not the only one who wrote fanfiction for Aurora. People both at home and abroad had done so. When the official version of Aurora's settings came out, everyone realized that when we wrote the settings, we were afraid of being accused of self-indulgence and of not having the flavor of Hammer, so we didn't dare to write Aurora too strong, too positive, or too glorious. What did the official do?
