Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

When the entire city of Valentine fell into the pressure and panic brought about by the elf siege, a carriage had already driven back to the Vidal Chamber of Commerce.

The horror and cruelty of the war permeated every corner of the city, and the dark clouds also shrouded the sky above the Vidal Chamber of Commerce branch. A considerable number of guards and staff had been organized into militia units, and they were now guarding the city on the southern wall. People are also under enormous pressure.

In a spacious and comfortable bedroom, Kant was lying on the soft bed, sniffing the faint aroma in the room, closing his eyes and sleeping, relaxing.

As expected of a large chamber of commerce, the conditions here are much better than Tiandihui.

The elves attacked and were trapped in the city, but there was no problem with Kant's own safety, even safer than Leona - the eldest lady relied on the popularity of her chamber of commerce and the indescribable tacit understanding between elves and the empire, but After all, it still depends on the face of the elf, the so-called life falls into the hands of others.

And what about Uncle Kang?

Hide in the White Mist World, or even return directly to Earth.

The time ratio of one to seven on both sides is very inconvenient for Kant to act on Earth, but everything has two sides, and it becomes a very useful tool when escaping for life. It will take two to three months, and even if the elves hate Kant to the bone and want to kill him quickly, they will definitely not search for so long in Valentine.

But unless forced to, he will not use this method.

Two or three months... The day lily is cold, and if he finds that Goethe has been defeated and even Tina is killed when he comes back, he will have to change to a more difficult dungeon.

Kant, who was lying on the bed, sighed silently.

Although there is no problem with personal safety, he is still under a lot of pressure.

Because he really can't walk away.

No matter Hong San or Leona, he can't keep them here, even this is Tina's country, this is Goethe's city, he doesn't want to do nothing and let so many people die.

But what can be done?

Today the elf raided the city, and he faced the twilight soldiers. Only then did he experience first-hand what the war in the other world was about. Although it was completely incomparable with modern warfare, the magic roared, the arrows flew, and war was war. It is not something he can change and stop alone.

He can deal with ten elves, twenty elves, can defend a section of the city wall, and can make the magic of the elf mage useless, but that's all, a person's power is limited after all.

Earth's technology and force are his biggest reliance, but the world map of Baiwu is limited, and the weapons that can be obtained are only civilian weapons, a few small-caliber guns, and there are no fuel tankers, even if there is, it will be. There is no way to recreate Huisha's seeding sun that night.

As for returning to Earth to open a map... that's too late.

Time is very urgent, from the accident to Valentine City, as for now, the elf soldiers are emerging, like thunder, even if he returns to the earth for only three hours, nearly a day has passed on the other side, and three hours are on the earth. Nothing can be done, and one day is enough for the elves to take the city down.

Kant sighed again.

He was full of confidence in front of Leona, and high-spirited in front of Hong San, but he was still mostly relieved. Hong San was right. If the elves abandoned their magic and attacked with a dignified teacher, then their own side could only use An upright teacher came to guard, and the two sides were fighting for pure hard power.

And this is Kant's biggest shortcoming.

For example, he alone smashed everything in the Goode family, but to let him fight head-to-head with all the other forces at that time would definitely be a dead end.

For a while, Kant frowned, but he couldn't think of any useful methods or strategies to defeat the enemy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Kant rolled over and sat up, listening to someone shouting from outside, "Kant!"

It was Leona's voice...and it was a little nervous.

With a thought, he walked over to open the door, only to see a little panic on the face of the small-mouthed eldest lady of the Chamber of Commerce, and said in a low voice, "Nick is here!"

Kant was startled: "What is he here for?"

"Of course I'm here to find you!" After the past two days, Leona has regarded Mayor Nick as a mortal enemy. Seeing this guy dare to take the initiative to come to the door really made her confused and nervous. Yu, his mouth began to babble again, "The opportunity is rare, should we take this opportunity..."

Kant raised his hand with a knife and slashed the girl's forehead.

The girl hugged her head and shouted, subconsciously angrily: "What are you..."

Immediately, she realized that she had said something stupid in front of Kant again, and the beeping gradually faded away.

She didn't scold anymore, she just stared at Kant and complained, "I've become stupid these two days! I must have been scared by your axe! It's all your fault!"

Kant put on his coat, loaded the axe, gun, knife, bottle, and other weapons, put on his coat, and walked out of the room.

Walking by Kant's side, Leona's nervousness gradually subsided, her mood relaxed, her IQ rose, and she regained her usual calmness and shrewdness, she worried: "This sheep day has a humble and polite face, as if it were real, put on this With an elegant appearance, there must be a plan to eat people without spitting bones..."

Kant said calmly: "I'll know when the time comes... He came to find us actively, but it's a good thing. After all, if you want to defend the city, you must be able to avoid this Mr. Mayor. The way of war, the first is intelligence. Victory in battle, and in this city, the person who knows himself best and knows his enemy best must be Nick.”

After Leona heard him say this, her disgust, resistance, and even escapism towards Nick gradually disappeared.

She was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "Why are you so calm... I have been smart since I was a child, and I was praised by my family. When I grew up, I did a lot of business, and I thought I was a genius, but this time Trapped in the city, I know what it means to panic, far less than you..."

Kant heard the words, and his eyes were in a trance for a moment.

Calm down...?

If you think about it carefully, it is true, but this is not an innate quality, but more of an acquired experience. Anyone who has experienced more than a year of drifting on an island without breaking down will always make some progress.

Not to mention the Huisha thing...

Regret and satisfaction, loss and recovery, and human growth are nothing but tossing between gain and loss. He smiled at Leona and explained the other party's doubts in one sentence.

"I'm just battle-hardened and seen a lot."

However, the girl from another world could not smile knowingly. She did not understand the profound connotation of this sentence, but she read another connotation from it. She understood what Kant was talking about.

"I thought of Tina."

She said in a complicated tone: "When we meet again, she has almost become another person, because of what she has experienced, she has grown up... Seeing her and understanding that she has grown up, this is the first time I fear growth, the first time I have grown up. Once I hope that I can always be a child."

There was indeed fear in her eyes.

Because Tina grew up after experiencing Huisha's betrayal, the people closest to her died for her one by one, and only then did she know the pain, and then she understood the way the world was, and then she decided to take more responsibility and go to Do things that you hadn't thought of before.

And now, when the soldiers are under the city, the loyal entourage guards who followed her to find Kant were forcibly recruited by Mayor Nick, and they were about to be involved in the war.

At this time, Leona felt a fear from the bottom of her heart... She was afraid of losing those people, and she was also afraid that she would grow up because of such things.

Because if they died... no doubt, it would be Leona's fault.

No child desires to grow up this way.

So, Kant next to him said: "I try my best."

Hearing this, Leona suddenly raised her head and stared at him blankly, speechless for a moment.

The look in his eyes is strange.

Kant noticed this gaze, turned his head and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?"

"…"

"…"

Leona said in a complicated tone, "I'm thinking, did you mean that axe yesterday?"

Although this question may sound abrupt, but Kant is a good man, with a bright future, a clear-headed, frank and frank, and he replied without hesitation: "Considering..."

Just after saying a few words, Leona raised her hand and covered Kant's mouth.

"Okay, don't talk anymore."

So I saw Mayor Nick in the parlour.

Mr. Mayor was drinking tea, with an elegant posture, a dignified expression, a handsome face, and a very nobleman. Several maids stood silently by the side, looking at this extraordinary nobleman. There was no admiration and respect in their eyes, but fear, or even a cover up. Can't stop hating... they know who this is.

Not to mention the figures passing by deliberately outside the window, and the guards of the Chamber of Commerce walking around made no secret of their hostility. Everyone has their own position, and the Vidal Chamber of Commerce regards Nick as an enemy.

Mayor Nick came here alone, facing hostility and malice from all sides, just drinking tea calmly.

Hearing the door open and seeing Kant, he put down the teacup, stood up, and said with a smile, "Mr. Dong."

Kant stepped forward and shook hands with him: "Mr. Mayor."

The attitude is lukewarm.

He understands the mayor's approach, but understanding does not mean acceptance, and not accepting does not mean hostility and disgust. Since the other party is polite, then he will respond politely for the time being, and the rest will be seen later.

Sitting facing each other, Leona naturally sat beside Kant and glared at Nick.

The mayor looked at the shoulders of a man and a woman who were close to each other, a gleam in his eyes, and then said solemnly: "Mr. Dong Zhuo, in any case, I would like to thank you once again, your decisive action avoided many casualties, I am very grateful."

Kant and Leona's expressions changed slightly at the same time.

Fortunately, I didn't call Hong San and left him in the room to heal... Otherwise, when he heard this, the guy would probably have retrograde blood and grief once again.

Kant said coldly: "Excuse me, what kind of casualties were avoided?"

The mayor said: "Naturally, it is the warriors who dare to draw swords against the elves and defend their homes with all their might."

Kant was silent for a moment, then sneered: "So, if I didn't take action, the elf cavalry rushed to the wall, the arrow regiment followed up to expand its advantage, and even the mage regiment advanced - in this case, Mr. Mayor also has a way to defeat the enemy. Push back?"

Nick's answer was still without hesitation: "Yes."

Leona sneered: "Liar, hard-mouthed."

Kant stretched out his hand and patted the girl's catkin, motioning her to be quiet.

It was so natural that the girl shut her mouth obediently. After three seconds, her eyes widened and she turned to look at Kant. Nick, who witnessed this move, also raised his eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, the mayor continued: "I have no need to lie, and I will not dwell on what has already happened. In any case, your brave actions have avoided possible casualties in the future. I must thank you in person. -You saved the lives of the warriors and indirectly increased the strength of the next defending city."

Kant looked at him for a while, and then said, "Is it just a thank you? Since ancient times, defending the city in desperation has relied on heavy rewards and severe punishments, boosting morale, diverting conflicts, uniting people's hearts, and making great achievements. Is there no reward?"

Mayor Nick laughed and said, "What does Mr. Dong want?"

Kant asked, "Is anything okay?"

The mayor said calmly: "Part of the family's land and property has been sold, and the other part has been reserved for use. The treasures in the family's treasury have also been given to the strong defenders of the city, and there is still a lot of money and materials left. But those are used to reward the soldiers, and those things, Mr. Dong doesn't like it, such a great merit, I don't know what to reward, you might as well speak."

He said frankly: "Except for letting people out of the city, or taking my life, both of which are temporarily unavailable. Others, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

- Don't bother, I still like money.

Thank you for the shiny, yellow gold, good stuff, hard currency, common to both worlds.

However, Kant did not ask for money. He leaned forward with a serious expression and said slowly: "Then the militiamen who use this credit in exchange for the Vidal Chamber of Commerce don't have to go to the city to defend, can they?"

Leona looked at Kant in surprise, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Kant just looked at Mayor Nick across from him.

In the silence, Nick replied: "Of course, even if the effect of the one or two hundred imperial wastes added together is not as good as the contribution made by Mr. Dong today, if this is your request, I am very happy. Happy to promise you."

Leona was surprised and happy, looking at Kant, not knowing what to say.

After all, the eldest lady of the Vidal family has clear grievances and strong opinions, and she still doesn't give Nick the slightest bit of a good face. She knows clearly that all this is not due to Nick's kindness, but Kant's efforts.

Kant nodded, thinking of Hong San's dead appearance in his mind. Although he was extremely disappointed with the people from the Tiandihui, he thought about it and said, "Then..."

Without waiting for him to speak, Nick calmly said, "Even if the lives of those scumbags from the Heaven and Earth Society can be handed over to Mr. Dong Zhuo, they are already too frightened, and no matter how unusable it is, it is a bonus, and there are also those eight hundred people. The reservists will not be mentioned again.”

Kant was no longer happy, and his eyes became vigilant.

Seeing him like this, Nick nodded gratified: "Speaking with Mr. Dong Zhuo is very pleasant, then I will say it directly, just now, above the city wall, I ordered the soldiers to go outside the city to collect the corpses of the elves, insult them, destroy them, and hang them up. At the head of the city, with the arrogance and self-respect of the elves, the whole city will be massacred after the war. Even if the people from the Heaven and Earth Society and the Vidal Chamber of Commerce do not have to guard the city, they can stay at home. The reason for this, and will not threaten you with the life of the Heaven and Earth Society."

Leona was shocked and stood up suddenly.

Kant held her down and said calmly, "If you want to say something, just say it directly."

"Two hundred wastes are filled with life, but they can't equal Mr. Dong Zhuo's contribution of more than ten seconds. The reason why I let the Vidal Chamber of Commerce and the Heaven and Earth Society go is to express my sincerity and to send an invitation. The next defense of the city needs to be more serious. Talented people do their best.”

"Whatever you want, money, jewelry, treasures, even women, status, anything, or just want to save some lives, it doesn't matter."

Nick said sincerely: "I will try my best to meet all your needs, and then I ask you, and Mr. Hong San, both of them are amazing talents, please help me to defend this city!"
