Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

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

There was a map on the table, and Hong San sat at his desk to look closely, his fingers wandering around Valentine.

Kant was leaning against the table, while Leona was sitting on the other side. After sending Mayor Nick away, Hong San, who had been healed in the room, finished his work and was called to the security office with a map.

Hong San already knew the whole story and was studying the map at the moment.

Leona, on the other hand, folded her arms around her chest and turned her head to the side, sulking.

Seeing her like this, Kant frowned and said, "I said, it's better to tell the truth and tell the truth than to deceive you with rhetoric? I say this because I really think so..."

Leona snorted heavily, and turned her head to the other side: "Sure enough, Tina can see you, you must have cast some evil spell! Don't you know how to communicate with girls at all?"

"How is that possible?" Kant stared, "I'm not a straight man of steel - if you really don't understand the style, when you cut my head with a knife just now, I will immediately grab your arm and bring you an Argentina Big back - didn't I do that? Didn't I just throw your temper at you?"

Leona sneered: "When did I lose my temper!"

Kant is worthy of being an equal rights player, and he will never compromise or accommodate because of the other party's female identity. It must be known that this kind of behavior is the biggest prejudice and offense to women.

He **** for tat and said with reason: "Come on, let's go over things..."

At this moment, Hong San suddenly turned his head and said, "Master..."

This attracted the attention of the two of them. After all, everyone knew the importance of primary and secondary. Kant asked: "How? Strategically speaking, did Nick lie?"

He does not understand military command and the art of war, so he still needs to consult professionals.

Hong San replied: "Looking at the map, Kunke City, Tanin City, and Hongxi Valley, these three cities may indeed send reinforcements, and it is a three-to-five-day journey, but it is only possible, because Mayor Nick The fact that the Gladiolus Legion is moving in the direction of Valentine cannot be verified, nor can it be ensured that the other party can successfully command the army to join the reinforcements of the three cities to encircle the Dusk Legion... It is still an intelligence issue."

He picked up the mobile phone on the table, looked at it for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, Kant took it, turned it on, and pressed the play button.

The video recording function of electronic products is already common sense to modern people, but in the eyes of otherworldly natives, it is like a miracle, able to reproduce fragments of the past, this method of time and space backtracking is called a magical skill , is a difficult problem that the Arcane Council cannot solve by hanging the wall of knowledge for thousands of years.

Even intercepting and preserving an image requires extremely deep magic skills.

Now it has been done by a delicate and magical object.

In the picture, Mayor Nick is talking. Even if it is the second time, Hong San and Leona are still attentive. After all, the eldest lady of the Vidal family has not resisted the businessman's profit-seeking nature. After a fierce ideological struggle After that, he took the initiative to say: "Is there any more treasure for this treasure? Can it be sold?"

Kant whispered: "The battle is dangerous, don't think about this kind of thing. After the city is guarded and everyone is safe, I will talk to you about a few small businesses."

Leona smelled the money, and subconsciously revealed a happy look.

Then, she seemed to think of something.

not quite right...

When meeting at the city hall, this guy made no excuses in the face of his own initiative.

After chasing it out, in that small alley, facing himself, he slashed down with an axe.

After leaving a very bad impression on himself, he behaved politely and politely in the next negotiation, and said something like "I want to ensure your safety", successfully pulling back the goodwill, but In the end, he said, "If you betray you, you will be hacked to death", which is simply maddening.

The next relationship is also completely this routine. First, it is warm, reliable, and reasonable. She is moved from time to time by saying warm words and doing warm actions. Make her jump and get angry, and after she gets angry, she will make her happy again...

This cycle of giving a sweet date after an axe made her feel very familiar.

When the mother taught the servants, it was like this, so the servants respected her, when the elder brother pursued the noble lady, the girls obeyed him, when the father trained the hunting dog, not to mention the dog, fierce and tyrannical, but Licked father licking hard.

The more she thought about it, the more wrong it was.

Could it be that this guy is a flower master who is good at camouflage?

Thinking of this, Leona looked at Kant vigilantly: "You... don't you want to play with me?"

Kant wondered: "What??"

Leona narrowed her eyes and stared at Kant up, down, left and right.

Kant felt a little nervous, and added casually: "I don't play with women."

"…"

"…"

The words were a bit ambiguous, so that Hong San, who was lying on the table watching the video, quietly shifted his **** angle.

After realizing this, Kant immediately added: "Don't get me wrong, I mean, I've never played with a woman... that's not right either!"

Leona couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Kant said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

The eldest lady of the Vidal family looked at him and said with a smile: "Are you a virgin?"

Hearing this, Kant laughed wildly up to the sky, his voice trembled, even a little dust fell from the ceiling, and the chandelier shook. He proudly glanced at Leona and didn't even bother to answer this question.

Leona was taken aback, and she was in shock.

At this moment, the video was also coming to an end, Hong San stood up straight and let out a long sigh of relief.

The trace of a smile sketched at the corner of his mouth quickly disappeared until it disappeared.

Kant immediately asked, "How is it?"

Hong San's expression quickly turned serious, he thought for a moment, and then replied, "Don't believe it."

Kant also thought so, he said: "The reason."

Hong San looked at Miss Leona: "You said earlier that when the mayor wanted to tell everything about the plan, he wanted Miss Leona to avoid it. Later, after your opposition and persuasion, he stopped insisting."

Kant frowned and said, "You also think there is something wrong with his attitude?"

"Yes." Hong San said, "According to the plan, forming a siege, combining the inside and the outside, and ambush the Twilight Chapter, once successful, this powerful elf champion army will be severely damaged or even annihilated, which will have a huge and far-reaching impact on the war situation... This It is undoubtedly a top secret among top secrets, even more important than the grain reserves and military strength in the city, and it must not be leaked."

Speaking of this, the Aurora people frowned: "I can tell you this plan, and it can be said that he vaguely guessed your identity, and he has to rely on your strength, so he is sincere. But he doesn't mind telling this. It's a little strange to tell me the plan, after all he did that kind of thing on the city wall...but it's still explainable. But at first I wanted Miss Leona to avoid it, and then I couldn't understand it..."

Hong San said slowly: "He compromised too easily and too quickly."

Kant said: "So, is this a trap? Or is he lying? What's the purpose?"

Hong San pondered: "I don't know, but I can speculate one or two. If the worst case, I have hatred for Mayor Nick, or Miss Leona really has some collusion with the elves, I or she will find a way to this news. If it is sent to the elf troops outside, what will be the consequences?"

Kant said: "The elves will make plans. On the one hand, they pretend to attack the city, and on the other hand, they will attack and set up ambushes, attack the troops that came to support, and even set traps, which in turn will severely damage the Gladiolus Legion?"

Hong San shook his head and said, "No, this can't be done at all. The Twilight Battle Group is known as the 12,000-strong elite, which sounds like a lot, but it includes a part of the logistics part, the Druid team and the veterinary team responsible for the treatment and maintenance of war beasts. There must be a field medical camp in charge of medical rescue, even bowsmiths and swordsmen, a team of craftsmen responsible for forging and repairing equipment, engineers and alchemists..."

He listed the logistics part: "Although the elves reformed the military system and greatly reduced the bloated baggage transportation part through technological progress and conceptual innovation, but the legion has rushed to this point, it will definitely not bring a large number of servants with limited organization. As auxiliary soldiers, although their military strength is elite, it is limited."

"And this means that the elves can't use tactical deception to make feints, and how much power they put in can be calculated based on the intensity of the offensive or even visual inspection... The division of troops will definitely be detected."

When Hong San said this, he took a peek at Kant, saw that the other party was not sullen, but listened humbly, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Then he continued: "As for setting an ambush, it's impossible. Although I only arrived at Goethe in the past two months, I have also heard of the name of the Second Highness Goethe. Under the situation that the whole battle situation is not optimistic, the Gladiolus Legion is the It is very difficult to ambush the few troops that are still able to maintain their superiority and win against the strong elves."

"Unless the quality and quantity of the elves' mage regiments are far superior to those of the gladioli army, only in this way can atmospheric shielding be carried out, so that the mage sentry teams of the gladioli army cannot detect the ambush enemy army."

Speaking of which, Kant was already stunned.

Yes, the situation in the other world is very different from the ancient earth, so it is impossible to use the experience of the ancient earth... Because of the existence of magic, the form of war has been greatly changed, a series of tactics, military strategies and decisions. It's all about magic.

He thought for a while and said, "It sounds like if the Gladiolus Legion and the reinforcements from the other three cities arrive, the elf army will definitely be defeated, and there is no possibility of turning defeat into victory?"

Hong San nodded, and then said: "There is no absolute war, but generally speaking, it is like this. The two sides in the war must first look at the strength of the division, and the side with more and stronger mage will occupy the most important position. Taking the initiative, they can roll up a downpour, make the enemy's bowstrings and arrows soaked in water, summon mud, and immobilize the enemy's cavalry units... Even without long-range support with lethal spells, just changing the battlefield can greatly affect The battle is won.”

"And if the encirclement is completed, the strength of the mages on Goethe's side is far better than that of the elves."

Kant thought thoughtfully: "So, what will happen if the news leaks to the elves?"

Hong San said: "The enemy's commanders will first suspect that this is a tactical deception and trick from Valentine, and they will find a way to confirm this information. Once confirmed, they will make a decision, or they will spend all their money on it. All forces slam Valentine's City and take the city before the Gladiolus arrives, but if the losses are too great, or if they can't attack for a while, they will..."

Kant and Hong San said at the same time, "Run."

The two looked at each other, and the room was silent for a while.

After a long time, Kant said slowly: "In this case, the siege of Valentine City will be lifted, people will be liberated from the shadow of war, and the war will no longer be..."

Hong San did not speak, and neither did Leona.

After thinking of this, the hearts of both of them were shaken for a moment.

This war is Goethe's war, a war for national salvation, but it has nothing to do with Leona or Hong San. The two and their partners are all innocents involved in the war.

The elves retreat, this thing is really tempting...

Hong San was full of sorrow and joy, thinking of the people who died today, full of disgust, his voice became bitter, and he said softly: "Is this what Mayor Nick planned? Deliberately revealed it to us..."

Kant knocked on the table: "Go back... don't let emotions interfere with your judgment."

Hong San was startled.

Kant said: "Obviously, you are just resentful, and you don't necessarily have the courage to send letters outside the city. Whether Leona has colluded with the elves is also ambiguous. How can he pin this kind of plan on the unclear. Above probability? If you have such a plan, why not do it yourself?"

Hearing this, Hong San murmured, "That's true... Then why did he do this?"

Kant didn't speak. He sat on the edge of the table, took the phone, replayed, and slid the progress bar, until the last part of Mayor Nick's emotional outburst.

Leona ridiculed him for disregarding the lives of civilians in order to get promoted and rich. Of course, it was Miss Vidal's ridicule because of her prejudice and hatred in her heart, but Mayor Nick exploded in an instant and responded with a roar, condemning him for his calm and calm appearance. If there are two people, it seems that the pressure and madness in their hearts are instantly released.

Kant thought for a moment and said softly: "You said, is he willing to hunt the Twilight Chapter's plan? Use Valentine as blood bait to defend the city desperately, just for a greater strategy and hope of victory..."

Leona said lightly: "Whether or not, he did it."

"But doing it is one thing, how you think about it is another."

Kant said: "Just like what he did to defend the city, although I can understand this kind of behavior, but I can't accept it emotionally. Goethe defends this city, but he does what he does, whether he is willing to let his hometown burn in the flames of war, and let the familiar city be sacrificed by this... Is he willing?"

The two pondered.

After a while, Leona said with a complicated expression: "What is he doing like this? While he decided to defend the city and desperate, he deliberately did this kind of thing, hoping that the elves would hear the wind and escape... What the **** is he? What do you think?"

Before Kant could speak, Hong San sighed in a low voice, "It's not easy for people who can't help themselves."

Kant said: "But it's just our speculation, and it's not necessarily correct... Mayor Nick's thoughts are in his heart, what are his plans, and whether he has anything to hide, only he knows."

Hong San said silently: "If this guess is true, it can be confirmed from the side that reinforcements are coming... That's why the mayor has a dilemma and emotion."

"I hope so..." Kant said lightly, "because even if the reinforcements don't come, we have to defend the city, otherwise, you all understand, in any case, as long as Nick is not a Goethe traitor, we must temporarily help him defend this city. It is a city, but the necessary precautions and vigilance are also required.”

"But the problem is..." Hong San said worriedly, "How to guard?"

He really couldn't think of what the two of them could do.

"Do your best." Kant said, "Hold on, and wait... I called for help, and I'm probably rushing here now. If we can get there in time, our chances of winning will be much better."

When Hong San heard the words, his eyes lit up: "How many people?"

Kant thought for a while, raised a finger, and said, "There is only one."

The people of Aurora were startled at first, and then looked forward to it again: "That must be a peerless powerhouse!"

Kant shook his head, it's far from the difference, Iron Son has limited ammunition, and he is alone in a car, and he can beat dozens of elves, but it is not enough to face an elite battle group of 12,000 people.

After all, it has no heavy firepower.

Hong San was finally disappointed and couldn't help but said, "Then why are the odds of winning so much better?"

Kant showed a proud smile, as proud as all the parents in the world who mentioned their son, he said: "Because, this child is hard-working, capable, and very efficient at work. It is able to defend a small section of the city wall, and it has worked hard for a night, but it can temporarily improve the combat effectiveness of the entire city defending force.

Hong San couldn't understand.

But it doesn't matter, Kant said to Leona: "Speaking of it, it's not too late, I have something to ask you to do, send someone to go to the city hall, find Nick, and ask him to bring two pairs of elf armors that have been taken off. , it would be better to have one or two veterans with rich experience in fighting elves, and let him also send some weapons of the city defense army, including spears and arrows, as well as weapons such as spears..."

Leona snorted: "Instructing me is quite easy..."

I complained, but after all, I went out in person.

There were only Hong San and Kant left in the room. Kant looked at the door and frowned, "I always feel that Leona has become more and more petty. It's a lot worse than before. How could it become like this before the war."

Hong San hesitated for a while, and seemed to be considering whether to say it or not, and finally made a decision, he said casually: "Master, Miss Leona still maintains her original attitude to me, the Chamber of Commerce, and even to Mayor Nick. , polite and generous, neither humble nor arrogant... You don't know, girls will be stern in front of irrelevant outsiders, and being like you means they don't treat you as an outsider..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

Kant was stunned for a moment, then understood, and subconsciously showed a smug smile.

But the next moment, his smile faded and he frowned: "Wait a minute, why is she humming all kinds of things when she has a crush on me? It's not as good as before, she has a crush on me, she should be more sensible in front of me, let's talk about it. Now, I don't get any benefits or cheapness, why should I be subjected to this for three days?"

Hong San was stunned, and then showed a look of crying and laughing: "Master, it's fine to keep these words in your heart, but don't say it to Miss Leona face to face, besides, although people said a few words, they didn't Don't worry, you can just ask someone to do the thing you said, but she obviously wants to arrange it herself, and didn't she send a lot of things without hesitation before? You better not be so mean..."

Kant waved his hand and said, "I know, I know, I'm not an elm head."
