Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"At least three days, as many as five days!"

Mayor Nick's answer was unequivocal, with a firm look, calm eyes, and no false color.

But Kant did not trust people, but facts and logic.

He asked, "Where did the reinforcements come from, can they defeat the elves?"

Nick said without hesitation: "Yes!"

Kant raised his hand and said, "Please specify."

Mayor Nick looked at Leona and frowned: "This is also a military secret. Although it can be told to Mr. Dong Zhuo, please avoid the imperial people over there."

Leona slapped the table and said angrily, "This is my territory!"

Nick said calmly, "No, it's mine."

The two looked at each other and refused to give in to each other. After a while, Leona withdrew her gaze and snorted coldly. She already had the intention of retreating. She turned around and said disdainfully, "I'm too lazy to listen..."

Kant grabbed her arm and said, "It's okay, just stay."

Leona was taken aback and looked at Kant in surprise. After a while, her eyes softened and she said softly, "It's okay, you just know, I believe in you."

Nick also frowned: "Mr. Dong Zhuo, with all due respect, the war is dangerous, and once the news is leaked, you must know what it means. This matter concerns the safety of countless people's lives, please don't use such a major event at this time. Come to please the woman, besides she is an imperial person."

Kant pressed Leona's shoulders, forcibly pressed her back to her seat, and then said, "Mr. Mayor, a good friend of mine told me not to trust all the Goethes because of him, and not because of the behavior of some imperial people. And hating all the imperial people, I will listen to everything he says, including this one of course."

"In fact, I will not judge whether to believe a person because of country and origin, and with all due respect, Mr. Mayor, now I trust her more than you, because you rationally and ruthlessly use everyone accurately It may be correct, but the lack of humanity makes me afraid and apprehensive."

"And this Miss Vidal, although full of vulgar words, ran here for the sake of an old friend and caused herself to be caught in the war. I think from the performance of the two, I want to be her friend."

Mayor Nick's expression became a little ugly. Although he paid attention to showing sincerity and speaking frankly, he was still instinctively upset when Kant told such a big truth in person.

He said coldly: "Who do you want to be friends with is your freedom, but does this have anything to do with her staying here to listen to military secrets?"

Kant said: "Of course it matters, I don't want to deceive Mr. Mayor, even if she leaves now, I will tell her the intelligence information you told me afterwards, including Hong San, because I don't trust you very much. , so you have to consult with two friends, so as not to be regarded as cannon fodder and **** by you."

The mayor took a deep breath, and his tone became more and more gloomy: "But if the news leaks..."

"If the news is leaked, you can be held accountable. Even if the secret is top secret, Leona is still in Valentine City. Even if she leaks this secret to the elves outside the city, before the elves break the city, you haven't Is there a way to kill her? And by your means and back-ups, spread the news of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce's treachery and make the Vidal Chamber of Commerce on the list of Goethe's revenge - is this difficult?"

Kant held down Leona's head and gestured to Nick: "Look, even from the perspective of pure interests, she doesn't have the guts to leak the news, right?"

- Miss Fragrance was shaken back and forth by Kant while holding her head, but she was not angry.

Nick looked at Kant for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Yes."

He looked around, but couldn't find a map. However, the maps of Valentine and even the region had already been thoroughly familiarized by his heart. The mayor drew a rough map on the table with his fingers dipped in tea, and set the position with tea sets and snacks. , said: "This is Valentine, and these three cities..."

"Kunke City, Tann City, Red Stream Valley."

After specifying the locations one by one, the mayor said: "When the elf soldiers were discovered, I had already spread the news. If the reinforcements start from these three cities, they will reach Valentine in three to five days."

Kant had already quietly turned on the camera mode of his mobile phone, then leaned over and pretended to take a few glances - after all, he didn't know how to fight, and he couldn't read military maps.

However, the greatest skill given to him by modern education is not the messy knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, language, history, and language, but the way of logical thinking, the way of solving problems, and the ability to accept new things. The crux of the matter, what he needs to figure out is not military issues such as army marching, but whether the city lord's words can be trusted.

So Kant asked: "The reinforcements will arrive in three or five days—but will they come?"

"Of course it will," said Mayor Nick.

Kant asked: "Why? Does Valentine City have a reason to save it? The three cities are not far away, and they are about to face the attack of the elves. Why did they send troops decisively, without considering preserving their strength?"

"Furthermore..."

He leaned out and pointed to Valentine, who was represented by the teacup: "If I were the elf commander, I would surround Valentine, fight casually, and assume a siege posture, but I wouldn't go all out to attack the city, and It is to concentrate the elites and eat the reinforcements from the surrounding cities one by one, in order to destroy the reinforcements in the area...how?"

Nick was slightly startled at first, then laughed, showing admiration: "This kind of war idea is amazing. Mr. Dong Zhuo can think of this trick, I am amazed and admired."

Kant said lightly: "Don't dare to take credit, this is the excellent military strategy of the ancestors of my hometown."

"Aurora is amazing, but it's a pity that the communication between the East and the West was interrupted a long time ago." Nick sighed and said, "But I can guarantee that in this battle, the situation you mentioned will not happen. , it would be better to say that if the elves really plan this way, it will be even better."

Kant's expression moved: "Why?"

Nick glanced at Leona again, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Because the gladioli army led by His Royal Highness Landiston, the second son of the Grand Duke, is about to arrive in this area!"

Speaking of which, a sense of confidence and reassurance appeared on his face involuntarily.

As if the Highness had come, things would be stable.

Even Leona involuntarily let out a "Huh".

Kant had no real feeling at all. Although Tina had mentioned her brothers and sisters before, but it was a pampered and naive girl talking about her family, and there was no useful news.

In other words, when he heard the name of the Second Highness, his first reaction was...

Ah, the second uncle is here.

But then, he was thoughtful.

Mayor Nick said: "The gladioli Legion led by His Royal Highness Landiston is one of Goethe's most elite troops. It has been following the Second Highness to fight the elves in this province. I have spread the news that the Gladiolus Legion has In response, His Royal Highness Landiston will not miss this great opportunity."

"Once the Gladiolus Legion arrives, the elves who hit the wall under Valentine City will not only be unable to take the city, but they may even be besieged and annihilated by several reinforcements."

The mayor picked up a few pieces of pastry, put them on the table, divided them into several paths, and advanced towards Valentine: "It's better to say that after the news of the invasion of the Twilight Chapter was confirmed, a large net has been quietly cast, Lance. How keen is His Highness Titon's sense of war, with his identity and prestige, he will definitely be able to command the surrounding cities to send reinforcements together to make this hunting plan."

"At that time, with the Gladiolus Legion as the main force, the reinforcements of the three cities as the flanks, and Valentine City as the support, even with the strength of the Twilight Battle Group, there will only be hatred."

"And being able to inflict heavy damage or even annihilation of a pure-blooded champion chapter of the elves can not only greatly reduce the military pressure in the region, but also greatly dampen the spirit of the Dragon Tooth Army."

When the mayor said this, there was already excitement in his tone, and he slammed the table and said decisively: "So, as long as you hold on to Valentine City before the reinforcements arrive, and use up the exhausted elf army as much as possible, you will be able to create There is a good opportunity to wipe out the Twilight Chapter, once it is successful, it will be a great achievement!"

He smiled at Kant: "Mr. Dong Zhuo, don't worry now."

Kant just looked at him with complicated eyes.

The mayor wondered, "What's wrong?"

Kant finally spoke, his tone a little cold: "So, all of this... is a game? Is it a strategy to wipe out a main elf army? Is it all planned by you?"

His statement was relatively restrained, while Leona couldn't hold back.

After all, she had a deep prejudice against Nick.

I just heard the girl say coldly: "It must be a great achievement to wipe out the elf battle group. The mayor is the chief Valentine who attracts and delays the elf troops. Family, the cost and effort of defending the city will definitely be doubled. Good business, the mayor should be a businessman - no wonder you are jumping up and down these two days and don't take the lives of the commoners seriously, indeed, they How much is his life worth? As long as the elves can be held back, it doesn't matter how many people die, right?"

Nick sneered.

He looked at Leona and said coldly: "What? The elves invaded Goethe, did I let them come? Did I write to suggest that the Twilight Chapter attacked Valentine?"

"Defending this city will not only save countless lives, but also wipe out this invader force. Why don't I do it? Otherwise, what should I do? Surrender?"

"Since you have to defend the city, you have to do everything in your power and use all means. You only see that after the defending of the city is successful and the annihilation is completed, I will be promoted and rich, but have you ever thought about it, if defending the city fails, the whole city will be destroyed. If I die, my family, my heritage and all my glory will be blown away...but that's not the most important thing!"

"The important thing is that if the elves capture the city and defend the city, the battle situation in this area will be reversed in an instant, the plan will be completely ruined, the Gladiolus Legion will return without success, or even worse! Valentine city is a place of traffic, transit Therefore, if the elves continue to increase their troops, the local area will fall soon, and even the Gladiolus Legion will be in danger, and it will affect the shock of the entire strategic level - and all of this is my responsibility!"

When he said this, he was already fierce and ferocious: "Do you understand? Imperial people, you are just a businessman, how do you understand us Goethe people. The destruction of the family and the loss of glory are all trivial matters. If this involves national strategic turmoil, then I will Hundreds of deaths cannot be redeemed, I can tell you today that even if the entire city of Valentine is dead, the Twilight Chapter will be nailed to the bottom of the city!"

The military is dangerous, but it has always been far away from the girl. When did the jewel of the Vidal family experience the real war... Until now, she has seen a hysterical madman.

The other party's words, the other party's anger, and the other party's madness all made the girl secretly startle.

Leona shrank subconsciously.

Kant stretched out his hand to protect her, and said, "Mayor, the pressure accumulated in your heart does not need to be spread on the head of a little girl. She has a lot of opinions on you because you treat them as foreigners. Forced conscription into the army, although the empire has done something sorry for Goethe, but it has nothing to do with the Vidal family, it is a bit unreasonable for you to host all the imperial people together."

Nick's anger subsided a little, but he still sneered: "When did the elves invade our country, when did they reason? Where do we go to reason? Goethe is facing the danger of subjugation of the country, and the country will perish. Who will reason with her?"

Kant sighed.

how to say.

After the war began, the name of the first victim was Dao.

He said: "I probably understand the plan and the importance of defending the city."

Nick nodded slowly, then looked at Kant and said solemnly: "So, your decision?"

Kant stretched out his hand: "I am willing to help you... Aside from the plan to annihilate the Twilight Chapter, defending the city is a very necessary thing, and I would like to help your Excellency defend the city."

The mayor said sincerely: "Thank you... Words of gratitude are too insincere. If there is anything I can do, please speak up. I will never refuse."

"If I need it, I will," Kant said, "but there is one right now."

"Please speak."

Kant said lightly: "If you succeed in defending the city, and even annihilate the elves, you have made such a contribution, and it goes without saying that you will be rewarded. When Mr. Mayor enjoys the incomparable glory, please don't forget the people who sacrificed for this."

"Of course, I will," said the mayor.

Kant glanced at him and said calmly: "I hope so, Mr. Mayor, and, I hope what you said today is the truth, and there is no malicious intention to deceive and use it, otherwise, you will definitely regret it."

This is already a very rude threat.

But Nick just smiled.

"Please watch."

He said in a relaxed tone, "Mr. Dong Zhuo said just now that you want to be friends with this Miss Empire rather than me. I hope that after this battle, you will change your mind."

Then he said goodbye and left.

He was not in a hurry to bring Kant and Hong San to work and meetings. The mayor is very good at life, knowing that Kant will most likely have a discussion with Hong San and Leona.

And it was exactly as he expected.

"Go and see if Hong San wakes up... Tell him what Nick just said."

Kant's tone was a little annoyed and a little disturbed.

Leona nodded in response, then asked, "What's wrong? You suspect him?"

Kant paced back and forth a few times and said, "Well, I feel like he didn't tell me the truth, at least he concealed something. There are some things that confuse me in his words, but he finally revealed his true feelings, roaring at you, and his expression was agitated. , but it can't be faked even half a point... that's why it's very strange."

Leona nodded: "Really? I'm full of prejudice against him, and my views are definitely not objective. Let Hong San come to discuss it with you..."

"Um."

The two walked out of the conference room together. Leona turned to look at Kant's face, her face suddenly turned red, she hesitated for a moment, and then hesitantly said: "Also...and...thanks..."

Kant turned his head and said, "What?"

The girl lowered her head and muttered, "Thank you, he wanted to kick me out earlier and didn't let me listen, but you insisted on keeping me here... Thank you for trusting me."

Kant said: "It's nothing, like I said, even if you leave, I will tell you afterwards."

When Leona heard the words, she was delighted and hummed, "Just trust me like that?"

"Trusting you was a decision I made after careful consideration and observation, and I am responsible for it."

Kant said casually as he walked: "So, if you really leak the secret, you don't need Nick to bring someone to kill you. I'll cut you alive with an axe first."

"…"

"…"

After a while, Miss Leona suddenly turned behind Kant, jumped up forcefully, and then slammed a knife on the opponent's head.
