Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 105 Legend (Additional update for leader Dongyou Lingyu) (Fifth update)

Even someone like Su Ming, who frequently browses the Qunxing platform, only has a vague understanding of it.

Ofam looked at the curious students and explained very responsibly.

"Originally, this knowledge should be explained to you by the strategic analysis teacher, but since you are interested, I will explain it to you systematically!"

When Su Ming and the others saw that Ofam was going to explain to them, their eyes suddenly lit up and they all listened attentively.

"Initially, there was only one federal government in this universe, which is our current federation. However, with the advent of the interstellar age, many conflicts and differences of opinion emerged within the federation. At this time, the exploration team sent out discovered two new galaxies suitable for human settlement, New Galaxy Xinglan and New Galaxy Xingqiong. At this time, the relatively radical factions within the federal government formed a fleet to migrate to those two galaxies to settle down and established branches of the federal government. So far, the federation has been divided into an old federation and two new federations. This was fine, but after about a hundred years, the power of the Belon family in the New Galaxy Xinglan expanded rapidly, and it defeated other members and established the Dark Star Empire, which broke away from the federal government. Seeing this, the Saint Rocks family in the New Galaxy Xingqiong also annexed other members, established the Kingdom of Apocalypse, and broke away from the federal government."

Ofam calmly explained this history.

"I just don't understand. The Federation just watched the two of them leave? And didn't the others know how to ask for help?"

Rhine couldn't help but ask.

"In fact, they asked for help, and the Federation intervened. An expeditionary force was sent out immediately to quell the rebellion! But the expeditionary force was undoubtedly defeated. There are two reasons for the defeat. On the one hand, the federal government spent a lot of money to support their migration to the New Galaxy, and the other party occupied the New Galaxy and had abundant supplies. Of course, this is not the most important reason for the defeat. The most fatal reason is the distance problem. The expeditionary force that went to reinforce actually had an advantage at the beginning, but it could not withstand the consumption of time and gradually lost the battle."

Ofam briefly explained it to Su Ming and others.

Everyone sighed when they heard this.

Ofam continued to explain to everyone very professionally.

"Let's get back to the point. Although the Dark Star Empire and the Kingdom of Apocalypse defeated and annexed other members, there are still some people who are unwilling to surrender. They took their people and left the two new galaxies. They are scattered in various regions of the universe. Some have separated from the Federation and established new countries. Some have occupied a separatist area to form a new force. Some are friendly with the federal government and occupy important planets as transit stars. In short, there are countless of them! But if we talk about the most famous one, it must be the chaotic and disordered Lost Land."

"I've heard of the Lost Land! I heard it's a very evil and barbaric place, and the people there even eat humans."

A girl said with a little fear.

"These are all false rumors, and laymen can just ignore them. As students of the Imperial Court Academy, we should look at things objectively. The Lost Land is indeed full of violence and evil, but it is not barbaric and cannibalistic. If we want to describe it more appropriately, then the black market would be more appropriate. It is a place where profit and power are paramount. Well, I won't say much about that. I'll take you to the next place."

Ofam has not been disparaged too much because of its bad reputation as a lost land.

Su Ming and his classmates followed behind Ofam, and they really benefited a lot from the introduction along the way.

Just as Ofam was leading them along the quiet road, the well-mannered boy, Ed, saw two men in the Royal Court Academy uniform, holding a bouquet of flowers, walking into an inconspicuous path, and asked Ofam curiously.

"Teacher, where does that path lead to? Why are there seniors going there to pay homage?"

Ofam stopped and looked over, then hesitated for a few seconds and said.

"Let me take you to see it."

Su Ming and others were also a little curious about where this road would lead to and whose tombstone was placed inside.

Not long after, Su Ming and others followed Ofam to a red maple forest.

They continued along the path through the maple forest until they came to a circular clearing.

However, there is no tombstone here, but a statue that conveys a sense of long history. The statue depicts a young man wearing armor, holding a spear, with a long sword on his waist, riding on a handsome horse with its hooves raised, and with an unclear face.

At this time, among the two seniors, the man holding flowers was chanting very piously.

"Please protect us on this expedition and ensure that we can return alive and well."

Students like Ed were also very curious when looking at the statue.

"Who is this? He doesn't look like a modern person."

"The statue is so old that I can't even see its shape clearly."

While everyone was whispering, Su Ming looked at the stone statue with an expression of extreme shock in his eyes, and then he fell into deep silence.

Ofam raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he said calmly.

"The young man on this statue is called Hercules. He is different from other statues in the cemetery. The person he depicts is not from the Old Era, but a legendary figure."

"A legendary figure?"

When everyone heard this, they became more and more interested. There was actually a legendary person buried in the cemetery in the Imperial Court Academy.

"Yes, Heigos is a figure that has been passed down since before the epoch. According to legend, he is very powerful. With only a spear in his hand, he led his subordinates to conquer the world and was the first to unify the third planet. And because Heigos has experienced countless battles in his life and has never been defeated, he is also called the God of Victory and the God of War. Therefore, he is deeply believed by a small number of people. Before they go out to fight, they will come here to pray, hoping that they will be protected and return victorious."

"Of course, the most legendary thing about Hegos is not his military and combat skills. Legend has it that he had an outstanding talent for ruling. After unifying the Third Planet, he created a perfect ideal heaven with absolute fairness and justice and the best rule. At that time, it was said that the Third Planet was full of green vitality and the environment was very beautiful. All the people lived and worked happily without any worries. Therefore, he was also called the King of Heaven and the God of Justice, and was deeply worshipped by believers."

Ofam said calmly.

"Wow! That's great. I can't help but admire you."

"me too."

After listening to Mr. Ofam's introduction, Anqi and other girls were deeply moved.

However, Rhine and others spoke very seriously.

"In my opinion, a truly strong person does not need to pray for the protection of others. Because he cannot protect us at all. Only by becoming strong ourselves can we succeed."

"That's right. This is the interstellar age. How can we be superstitious about such legendary figures?"

Su Ming listened to his classmates' discussions and looked at the statue in front of him which became increasingly silent, with a hint of bitterness on his face.

Legends are all beautiful, but there is no real ideal paradise.

But that’s normal. Even the name has been passed down incorrectly, how can we expect the story to be completely correct?
