Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Every time Nick comes over, it means something happens.

The first time, the second time, the third time.

Every time is a game, every time, things will undergo some substantive changes, to seek cooperation, to reveal the truth, to reveal the plan of the Gladiolus Legion, to determine the policy of defending the city to the end.

For this iron-fisted and cold-blooded mayor, Leona's perception is completely negative. Hong San previously held a grudge against him, but now he understands and sympathizes with him, while Kant's attitude towards Nick is always clear - he understands the other party's behavior, But he couldn't accept the other party's temperament, so he stayed away.

And always be vigilant.

But vigilance and vigilance are slowly diminishing.

The relationship between people is like this. At first, they are unfamiliar and beware. Later, after getting along with each other, they gradually understand each other's temperament, and thus improve the relationship and change their impression. In Kant's eyes, Nick is a patriot and a person who can achieve success. People, this kind of people, are ruthless towards others and ruthless towards themselves.

Trapped in Valentine, his and Nick's goals and demands are somewhat compatible, so there is a basis for cooperation. Until now, it has been a pleasant cooperation.

Personal opinion aside, Nick and Kant maintain a good working relationship.

There is even a certain degree of trust.

—Although they only met recently, they have enough confidence in the business level of their collaborators, and neither of them has ever let each other down. Nick has always ruled this city, which is neither strong nor strong. The tide of soldiers stubbornly defended, and Kant also made the impossible possible, abruptly thwarted several offensives of the Twilight Chapter, and cooperated with Nick to complete the feat of defending the city.

until today.

Nick came, but only came.

Kant sighed as he listened to the increasingly urgent and noisy cries and pleas outside.

Because he also heard Nick's soothing voice, drowned in the voices and wind, so he couldn't hear it clearly.

Kant lowered his eyes.

Nick... didn't do it anymore.

The best solution is not to appease, but to suppress. The Gladiolus Legion is about to arrive, but Valentine can't hold on anymore. People's hearts are floating, and riots are everywhere. Tonight, this group of people openly came to the streets to persecute Kant, which means that Nick has been somewhat powerless to suppress the city.

But at this time, the more it is necessary to suppress it with an iron fist, even with a severe punishment and a heavy punishment. If you hold on for two days, the gladioli army will arrive, slaughter the elves, and even encircle and destroy them. This is a great achievement. Everything you have done before No one will be held accountable for anything.

But Nick chose to appease.

If you show weakness now, people who have other thoughts will only gain an inch. Tonight is just these old and weak women, children, and rabble. Tomorrow may be more powerful and more powerful people, because the repeated brutal **** battles and the elves' propaganda offensive have already Moved Valentine's heart.

When the human heart is no longer enough to rely on, what is the use of being gentle and soothing?

What is the use of courage and inspiration when the will to resist has dissipated?

At this point, only fear, madness, high pressure and brutality can squeeze out the last trace of people's blood and animal nature, allowing them to risk their lives and continue to defend the city.

This is war. In the end, whoever fights harder will not be able to bear it first.

Whether the elves broke through the city first, or Valentine collapsed on its own, or before either happened, the gladioli army rushed in, this is the good ending everyone is desperately trying to get.

Should have done so.

But Nick chose to appease.

Kant exhaled slowly.

Makes sense.

Although the truth is this, Kant is an outsider after all. He understands why Nick acted like this. After all, the mayor of Valentine is just a mortal man, and he cannot be expected to act coldly and rationally forever, because he All his wealth and family members are in the city, and he can't escape.

He has paid too much to defend the city, and he has almost put all of his money on the gambling table. At the last moment of the winner's kill, it is normal for him to be shaken in his heart.

Kant leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and waited silently.

Until Nick walked in alone and walked in front of him.

Kant opened his eyes and said: "I can't hold it anymore, something like this happened, I can no longer board the city head and entrust my back to Valentine's soldiers, moreover, people's hearts have been lost, even these most The most cowardly people at the bottom can do this kind of thing, let alone people who are stronger and more active than them."

He paused for a moment, not giving Nick a chance to speak.

"I can take you away, you can take two people, I promise you, I will kill the Twilight Chapter, then defeat the elves, and make them pay a heavy price."

Kant looked at the mayor in front of him with a calm expression: "But now, it's time to leave."

"…Do not."

Nick Valentine said so.

Kant looked at each other quietly.

"No, I can't go." Nick's expression was calm, his eyes were calm, and his tone was calm. His words didn't even fluctuate, and his eyes were the same, just looking at Kant directly.

But under this calm, I am afraid there is an unprecedented boiling and fierceness hidden.

He repeated, "Can't go."

Nick Valentine, I'm afraid he's already crazy.

"You can still hold on, you can't leave." He said, "The Gladiolus Legion will come soon. When it comes, the elves will be defeated and will retreat. All sacrifices will be meaningful, and many people will survive."

"I'm sorry, but as you can see, I can't hold back."

Kant's tone was cold and calm, but unshakable. He said directly: "I volunteered to fight for Valentine, and I have done my best. I stayed because of my own judgment, and I left because of my own judgment."

Nick murmured: "No, you can't go."

Kant narrowed his eyes: "This may be different from our agreement."

The mayor just repeated: "No, you can't go."

Kant sighed: "Don't do stupid things, Nick, I don't feel bad for you, Valentine's fall is not your fault, I have tried my best, and so do you. I admire your talent, admire your decision, understand your That's why I am willing to take you away with me, I don't mean to recruit you, I just think it's a pity that you died here, if there is a chance, why not witness the end of the twilight moon?"

Nick froze for a moment, then laughed silently.

It was a grin, revealing white teeth and red gums, a wild and silent smile, very penetrating, very crazy, very depressed.

The aristocrat, who seemed to be always meticulous and abide by the etiquette, showed a wild smile.

He had already left behind what he had insisted on earlier.

"Walk?"

Nick lowered his voice and smiled strongly, but his eyes were cold and he asked coldly.

"You mean, let me escape? In what capacity?"

He stared at Kant's eyes stubbornly: "Valentan city is broken, the elves have this strong city, and defending the city, the encirclement plan of the Gladiolus Legion will be completely bankrupt, and the southeast front will break open, and the strategic level will be extremely high. Passive, and even the Gladiolus Legion itself will be in danger - am I going to run away as a sinner who screwed up all this, and then shamelessly live with your Highness Kant?"

Kant said lightly: "Do you need me to tell you a few chicken soup stories of shame and courage?"

The flames in Nick's eyes suddenly bloomed.

The suppressed madness, the strong emotion, spewed out at this moment.

"—Don't put on such an indifferent look! It really annoys me! You know, Kant, what I hate most about you is that you have always faced us and our fate with this attitude!"

"It's like the most hateful and critical audience, sitting on the most honorable stand, admiring the performance of the stage with indifference, the sweat, effort and effort of the actors are not worth mentioning to you, try your best to perform And emotions are unbearable to you, are we like clowns in front of you? That's not the story you watch, it's our lives, our destiny, and our lives!"

"How can it be so easy to say something that can't be held back, or say something to leave? How can it be so easy!"

Nick lowered his voice and roared: "Do you know how much I have paid for this city! Do you know how much I have done! The whole family, all the wealth, all the glory, all of it!"

"You want me to leave with a single word, how is that possible!"

"I want to keep this city! I have to keep it! Can't go! No one wants to leave! I can't lose it all, I can't lose it all, I want to keep it and get more!"

"Keep it up, you can keep it all, and get more!"

Nick's eyes were red, and he was almost crazy, foaming from his mouth.

Kant sighed: "So this is what you say in your heart? Nick, in your heart, which is more important to perform your duties, protect the people, seek wealth and risk, get promoted and get rich?"

The mayor stared and hissed, "I want it all, can't I?"

Kant said lightly: "What if you only choose one?"

Without waiting for Nick to speak, Kant sighed in a low voice: "You don't have to say it, I know it, the moment you used all your life cold-bloodedly and rationally, and put the world on the city wall, I should have known that I was too young. , after listening to your nonsense and rhetoric, I actually believe that Goethe still has a hero."

He looked up at the other party and sighed, "Maybe there is, but it's not you."

When Nick heard the words, there was a brief stunned look in his eyes. Immediately, this emotion was replaced by shame and anger. He said sharply: "Say these inexplicable words, do you know what you did!"

"It's all because of you! If it wasn't for you rushing out, I could have delayed enough time! Do you think defending the city would be impossible without you? To taste the sweetness little by little, let them attack the city carefully and slowly, advancing step by step until reinforcements arrive!"

Finally, all the malice and dissatisfaction were vented.

"But you have to be brave! Every time you beat the elves back in disgrace! Let them attack more and more fiercely! You also exposed your identity, and let them take this city and you no matter what! The ending now! It's all your responsibility! Do you understand! It's all your responsibility!"

"It's all because of you! It's all because of you!"

"So you have to stay! Defend the city! You are Princess Tina's husband and a member of the Teldaril family! If anyone wants to die, you are the first to die! Since the soldiers can die, Civilians can die, so can you! Kant!"

Nick's eyes were red, full of oppression, and his face was crazy, approaching Kant.

He murmured: "Two days, at most two days, defend the city for me, bring everyone with you, use any method you can think of, even if you go to negotiate with the elves and exchange your life for it, OK! This is what you should do! This is your duty! Go and do it for me!"

Kant exhaled slowly.

how to say.

want to laugh.

"I said you... Has your brain been fooled by an elves?"

He moved his neck and his eyes became cold and indifferent.

"Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? A commoner under your rule? What do the nobles say, what do I do? Strange, your city is so strange, from nobles to pariahs, everyone's I have a problem with my head, what do you think of me? Why do you think that I have an obligation to work hard for your life and wealth? It's **** amazing, is there a moral kidnapping in another world?"

Kant blinked, and there was a stern light in his eyes: "It's all over... Believe it or not, your whole family will be violently killed tonight."

Nick looked at him without fear, and grinned.

"It doesn't matter, there is no difference between dying tonight and dying tomorrow. If you kill me, the whole city will collapse immediately. I know you have the means of teleportation and can leave, but Miss Vidal over there, your Aurora partner, And these greenskins, these people, can you take them away? Will they all survive?"

He smiled coldly: "You fought all the way out, causing Valentine to fall and collapse tonight. Guess the elves will miss this good opportunity after learning about this? They don't even have to make it up, because you caused this result. , you killed the people in this city, even caused the variables of the entire southeast war situation to collapse, and you will also put Princess Tina's second brother in danger... You kill, you kill."

Nick raised his head and exposed his neck like a madman: "Come on, come on."

at the same time.

When the two were talking, all the other people fled, and even Hong San and Leona didn't want to stay. Miss Vidal was distracted and couldn't understand her thoughts, while Hong San was unwilling to stay. He left quietly with a camera and went to continue filming the group of people on the street and filming their appearance.

He frowned tightly, recalling Kant's state tonight, and was very worried. It was a mixture of disappointment and anger. It was not good. Hong San thought of Kant's appearance in the past. For some reason, he didn't want Kant to see through the world. He still thinks that the previous grandpa was better.

But he didn't know how to solve it, how to persuade him, he was not a master like Master.

He was one of those whom Kant hated.

Hong San was thinking wildly while filming with his DV. People noticed the movement here, and looked at him with a little vigilance and uneasiness, and then continued to look at the chamber of commerce with worry and anticipation.

But in this situation, someone hurriedly turned his head and wanted to go to another place.

- But between the light and the flint, there was a momentary side face in Hong San's field of vision.

Hong San's expression suddenly changed, and he said sharply, "Wait a minute!"
