Chapter 2: Elanta Federation

In our daily lives, we wait for tomorrow in a daze in a world that seems like it will never end, until we are plagued by illness and face our own end in shock.

The Elanta Federation, a pan-human federation involving several life-bearing planets. Perhaps because of the existence of magic, some of the physical laws that Mu Hua knew in his previous life do not seem so absolute here.

The three empires dominate the three huge life planets in the star field, and they constitute the main body of the Elanta Federation.

The Lanton Empire was founded on Lanton Star, an ancient country with mainly oriental people. The people generally have strong magical adaptability and have the largest number of Royal Knights among all countries.

The Loren (Harlan) Empire, a rising empire built on the pioneer planet.

There are complex ethnic groups here. According to spoken habits, some people call this planet Loren, some call it Harun, and as the empire that dominates this planet, people also call it the Magic Empire.

The powerful magic technology there has made up for the shortcomings of humans in magic adaptability to a large extent, making magic technology gradually become the backbone of humans in the fight against monsters.

The Holy Empire, a somewhat melodramatic name. This name undoubtedly reflects its nature as a religious country, a country that is difficult to locate as humans constantly fight over different beliefs across the entire planet.

The Elanta Federation, it is said that civilization originated from a life planet called Earth.

Because there are many surnames, dialects, vassal states, and customs that seem familiar to Mu Hua. However, the archaeological community has been racking their brains over the debate on the origin, and there is still no conclusion.

Mu Hua said, just ignore it.

With the "courtyard" as its foundation, in addition to the three major empires, there are countless countries with independent regimes on the three main stars.

Although this world is a human integration composed of the Elanta Federation, it has a complex social system and institutions.

Under the empire, there are still kingdoms, duchies, and even feudal city-states.

Human group integration is not absolute unity.

The history of civilization with clear written records for tens of thousands of years has experienced several collapses, breaks, reorganizations, and reconstructions. The distant civilization has become blurred and difficult to trace.

Until five thousand years ago, the entrance to the demon world appeared on the earth in the form of a dimensional teleportation array and descended on various places in Elanta.

In the deadly battle with monsters, mankind experienced a dark period of nearly two thousand years, and gradually established the underlying structure of the Elanta civilization - the magical civilization.

Three thousand years ago, during the evolutionary process, humans whose bodies adapted to magic emerged. Humans analyzed magic, derived blood energy, and mastered the barrier that prevented the demon world from eroding and merging with the outside world.

Humanity has completed its consolidation.

The demonic dimension that comes from hell and is controlled by monsters and is formed by fragments of the world is called the 'Garden World'.

The courtyard world and the human world where humans live are integrated with each other, using the cross-border teleportation array as the entrance and exit.

Courtyards, numerous courtyards, they seem to have become transit stations between hell and the human world. Although they are in different dimensions, they are inseparable.

The earth, sky, and ocean had been at war for two thousand years. People wiped out the brutal monsters that ravaged Elanta, and eventually made Elanta a galaxy dominated by human civilization.

But in this human-dominated world, there are a large number of courtyard entrances, and these courtyards also make monsters a kind of creature that coexists with humans.

As time passed, the Elanta Federation entered a relatively stable period of modern civilization.

When waking up from a trance, Mu Hua's soul was transported to the Lanton Empire in an inexplicable way, with a suspected plug-in. He spent countless nights guessing and years waiting for the plug-in to be activated.

However, his cheat...exploded!

"Tsk~, what a damn life!" Amid the miserable cries of the dwarf orcs, Mu Hua looked at the busy poachers around him, muttering with blank eyes.

Waves of angry roars broke the tranquility of the shrubbery forest, and the harsh sound waves shook the green leaves off the surrounding treetops. Several strong men in tight clothes pierced the throat of the screamer with a spear more than two meters long.

Dwarf orcs are low-level, poor and weak. Among monsters, they are usually captured by goblins or orcs and used as slave cannon fodder.

This kind of monster rarely drops valuable items, but probably because their strength and intelligence are too low, when they appear in the courtyard, they usually appear in their true form.

The flesh and blood of a certain part of these dwarf orcs is the main ingredient of a popular aphrodisiac.

The simple and worn leather armor was considered excellent equipment among Mu Hua's group of poachers.

The tactical uniforms that some people wear look exquisite and strong, but their actual value is far lower than those worn-out leather armors.

The tactical uniforms made of civilian materials have almost no defense against attacks containing magical power.

Daggers, spears, bows and arrows, some seemingly primitive weapons pierced the vital points of the dwarf orcs. However, the damage caused by those firearms and ammunition that had not been specially treated was not as deadly as those cold weapons called "equipment".

Dwarf orcs are also considered a kind of monster, but Mu Hua and his group who are hunting dwarf orcs are more like miserable scavengers than warriors.

After all, they didn't even have shooters equipped with low-level exorcism bullets.

They were cautiously on guard around them, but they were not on guard against the dwarf orcs whose individual combat power was lower than that of the goblins.

They are illegals, and they need to guard against the Lanton Knights stationed in this dimension and those flying cavalry scouts. On Lanton Star, if the relationship between poachers and the Knights must be described in detail, it must be of a very low quality.

Well, both are probably equivalent to the way Mu Hua’s street vendors were wary of urban management in his previous life.

The dimensional world is like fragments of a planet, with sky, land, ocean, and even traces of civilization.

There are various natural environments in these dimensional worlds. Some of them are suitable for human survival, but at the same time, there are monsters that are endless to kill.

This kind of place is called the Demonic Dimension, or the 'Garden'.

The number of courtyards around the world is difficult to estimate, and new courtyards appear from time to time, with their entrances spread across the three main stars.

The size of the courtyards varies. The small ones are like villages and towns, usually just called dimensional spaces. The large ones are even larger than the three main stars.

Those dimensional worlds with an area of ​​more than one million square kilometers are what people call courtyards in the conventional sense.

In Lanton, every demon dimension, every courtyard world, and everything in every courtyard belonged to the empire, including the dangerous and deadly monsters in them, at least that was the perception of the people of Lanton.

Courtyard - Twisted Plains, the entrance is located in a courtyard world somewhere in the Lanton Empire.

Green land, valleys, lush forests and clear streams create an excellent natural environment.

But because of the existence of countless goblins, these normally insane monsters, this courtyard, which actually covers an area of ​​millions of square kilometers, has earned the name of being twisted.

Well, monsters are a general term for creatures that contain magic cores in their bodies. They need to eat, but even if they don’t eat, they can rely on absorbing magic power to sustain their lives.

This world has magic, monsters, orcs, demons, angels, and even magical life. It is truly a world full of magical elements.

The reason why the Demonic Space was given the name of a courtyard is probably more to avoid ordinary people from feeling uneasy and panicked about it.

Courtyard is an infinitely beautified word. Its essence is another dimension, another world, a world belonging to monsters, hell, and closely related to demons.

There are monsters from hell here, some of them have come in person, and more of them are projections.

This place is full of dangers, but it also represents endless opportunities and possibilities.

There is also fertile land and resources suitable for human survival.

Search for mineral veins, kill monsters, get dropped items, gain power, and gain wealth. This is a higher-level world and also the gathering place of the high-end power groups in this world.

Extreme risks and extreme opportunities coexist, fighting against demons and monsters, this should be a place for adventurers to explore.

Of course, there is actually no Adventurer's Guild in the Lanton Empire.

Strictly speaking, Lanton doesn't even have the title of adventurer.

The only knights who can legally enter the Lanton courtyard are the Royal Knights. The outside world also calls these Lanton Knights - the army.

In addition to strengthening the people's awareness of loyalty and filial piety such as "fatherly love and filial piety" and "hard work and struggle" from an early age, magical materials, magical instruments, and even magic itself are all strictly controlled in the Lanton Empire. Ordinary people are absolutely prohibited from setting foot in the dangerous courtyard.

In order to improve the body's adaptability to strength, some training and body transformation also involve certain risks, coupled with the many restrictions imposed by the empire.

In the Landun Empire, the regular entrances to each courtyard are guarded by the Knights.

The Knights protect the people from being disturbed by the gardens and monsters, and ensure the stability and safety of the people's daily lives.

Therefore, there are also a large number of ordinary people on Lanton Star who have no clear understanding of magic.

This is probably the only way to enter the courtyard normally, join the Knights Templar, and accept the Empire's dispatch, training, management, and material distribution.

At this time, Mu Hua and his group were in a remote corner of a courtyard, and their means of entry were obviously not so normal.

"Hey, Mu, the inferior magic potion you prepared is really useful. This group of dwarves are useless. We should go hunt goblins, or try to kill a lone big goblin, or even an ogre."

A blond young man approached Mu Hua and greeted him in a familiar tone, which earned him a disgusted and wary look from Mu Hua.

"Jim, get out! Go do what you should do!" A middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face shouted at the blond young man.

As he spoke, the man came to Mu Hua with a fierce look on his face, but he gave Mu Hua an apologetic look.

Mu Hua stared at the blond young man with a cold look. It was not until the young man avoided his gaze and retreated angrily that Mu Hua turned his gaze to the middle-aged leader.

"What's going on? Are you new here?" Mu Hua asked the middle-aged man in an unfriendly tone.

"Well, he's a ruffian from Loren Planet. You know, scouts are usually more tolerant of them. He can be used as insurance." The middle-aged man glanced at the young man who had a different skin and hair color from them. While speaking, he raised his hand and handed a leather scroll with delicate patterns to Mu Hua.

"You'd better explain it clearly to him. I don't want to cause any trouble." Mu Hua said casually out of trust in the middle-aged man.
