Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The capital of Bibo Province, the origin of Goethe's road to sea power in the past, the first city where the Aurora fleet sailed and landed, its name was Yuangang.

A serene and distant port city, this is the Goethe connotation of the city's name. The Aurora scholars accompanying the ship took its free translation rather than its transliteration, as the official name of this monumental city, marked on the eastern chart and official documents. , as the official name.

This quiet and distant city also has a history of hundreds of years. It has gradually prospered from a small village and town, with a city wall, a wharf, and a port.

In countless years, she bid farewell to countless ships and warriors to set sail. Some people returned with a full load and became famous, and some people never came back.

She welcomed the first Aurora fleet from across the sea, and sent away the first Goethe mission across the ocean. The initial contact between the two countries, the friendship forged, the exchange of knowledge, and even the final severance. , was watched silently by her.

She watched the city go from prosperity to decline. In the past, there were thousands of sails, but now there are few, and even foreign enemies invaded. The fierce firepower of the elf fleet and the plundering of powerful soldiers, and then the war ended, and in a flash, the crisis came again, like a joke of fate. ...this time is more dangerous than the last.

The elf fleet that has not yet been withdrawn, the unsolicited imperial warships, the magic warships owned by the Austrian Council, and even the vassals of these three world powers, as well as the dragons hovering in the sky.

These naval forces are enough to easily destroy the coastal defenses of most countries in the world, and even just one of them can defeat the fleets of many small countries. Now they have broken into Goethe's territorial waters and approached the devastated far port. Confronting them is the broken The coastal defense fleet of Bibo Province, which is unbearable and has not yet been fully overhauled - in the previous war, they were almost wiped out by the elf navy.

overwhelming disadvantage.

Anyone can see that Goethe could not stop the aggression of the nations even by the slightest.

However, although the fleets of the various countries have approached the cold port, they have only blocked the port and channel, the dragons are circling in the sky, and the warships are cruising the sea. This is a humiliating gesture of aggression, but the real hostile behavior has never happened. Fleet from various forces It is wise to exercise extreme restraint without any excesses.

Because the real battlefield is not here.

This time when the soldiers are under the city, it is just to put pressure. This pressure will be passed back to Danfeng Lucerne through the bureaucrats and nobles of Bibo Province, and passed to the Goethe ruling class. From beginning to end, the wily rulers did not take Goethe seriously. Inside, the only person who made them fearful was the Aurora.

So the strategy has already been determined.

Taking advantage of the great opportunity that Kant's whereabouts are unknown and he cannot escape, first ensure the most basic distribution of interests, that is, through shock and pressure from all aspects, to force Teldaril to agree to the countries to open without Kant's presence. Distributing treaties, creating established facts, and finding ways to alienate the relationship between Kant and Teldaril, causing a rift in the relationship between the two, planting the seeds of doubt and disagreement.

This minimum guarantee of interests is based on the premise that Kant will get out of trouble and return to the surface soon. After all, the countries are still afraid of the power of the Forbidden Magician, so they will not make things too ugly, they just want to There is a time difference, when the teams of various countries will settle in, the treaty has been signed, and Goethe has reached an established fact, and Kant, as an outsider, has nothing to do.

if not? To tear up the treaty is to oppose the countries, and even Goethe will oppose him. Faced with such a situation, will he use the forbidden spell to smash the whole world into smash?

Compromise is the tone of the world.

History has proven more than once that in the face of power, individual strength is insignificant.

I do not care who you are.

The combined fleet entering the territorial waters, the army mobilized on the border, and the pressure induced by Goethe through personal connections, economics, politics and enticement, the major forces cooperated tacitly.

Before Kant frees up his hands, create a given fact and share the cake.

But this is only the minimum protection of interests.

It is based on the premise that "Kant will return to the surface soon".

If this Aurora person can't come back, then the so-called agreement and treaty are just a piece of paper to wipe the buttocks. Now Goethe is still qualified to sit at the negotiating table, just because the shadow of the Aurora person behind Goethe is still projected. On the table, if he's gone...

"...Therefore, for the benefit, safety, and enjoyment of the life-rights endowed by the gods of the peoples of the world, we are empowered, together with like-minded friendly armies, to take the necessary measures, according to the will of the Holy Emperor and the advice of the Masters of the Arcane Council. To ensure that the unknown threat of Goethe's underground will not spread, please convey our spirit and philosophy to the Governor and your noble Excellencies."

"We hope that Goethe will carry out his duties and positions, and work with us to contain and control this unknown dangerous substance. This is also for the sake of all Goethe people. After all, we live in the same world, and we still eagerly hope for your understanding. I don’t want to resort to strong violence, I hope you can convey our sincere and friendly position, and ask Archduke Teldaril to make the right choice.”

Diplomatic rhetoric, a threat hidden in high-sounding words, this is the speech of the captain of the flagship "Black Pine Forest" of the Fourth Squadron of the Endless Ocean Navy of the Holy Empire.

He gave proper courtesy and preferential treatment to the negotiator of Bibo Province, and sent him away in person.

After all, after arriving in Goethe's territorial waters, the fleet commander, who has been patrolling overseas for a long time and isolated from news, finally learned what Kant the Aurora did in the Broken Isles not long ago.

With a Forbidden Spell, the tsunami almost drowned the entire broken sea area dozens of miles away.

No wonder the Seventh Fleet never came.

He first scolded the Minister of Admiralty and became the emperor's wild father in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and continue to execute the order.

-if not? Turn around and run? Not only treason and disobedience, but also sins are added, no matter how things end, there is no good fruit to eat.

Only now did he understand that the closing words in the last order were so meaningful.

"Your Excellency Commander, I can understand your worries, but with your wisdom it is not difficult to understand that the far port is the safest place in the world for your fleet, you will understand."

-Nima is really safe! At least when Kant released the forbidden curse to kill us, he had to consider whether it would affect the Goethes on the shore! Really thoughtful!

He watched Goethe's messenger go by boat, his eyes were as quiet as the sea, and waves were born in the calm sea. Suddenly, the adjutant stepped forward quietly and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, it is awake."

The captain raised an eyebrow and turned around.

It's a dragon.

While cruising off the coast of Goethe, they found a wounded dragon.

Claiming to be Luz, he was seriously injured. Before he was rescued, he held his breath and revealed important information to him - he was a member of the missing dragon mission. In the huge world under Goethe, they discovered a kind of The mysterious substance that can promote the next magic revolution, around this substance, they had a fierce conflict with Kant who followed, causing heavy casualties.

Because Kant can freely control and even absorb this kind of power, he seems to have known the existence of this substance for a long time, and even helped Goethe because of this, and now he is fighting underground with other giant dragons. In order to hold Kant down, they also Absorbed this power, but still can't stop Kant who is getting stronger and stronger.

Trixis and the two strongest dragons stayed underground to fight Kant bloody.

He said that if Kant fully gained control of the mysterious energy, it would be a disaster for the whole world. He said that Trixis ordered them to disperse and flee and pass this information to all civilized countries. This is the dragon pride, they know when to be selfless.

After forcing the information, the giant dragon Luz fell into a coma.

The Imperials found a purple crystal from the dragon, and a wizard, fully armed, tried to channel the power, and his spellcasting ability was greatly increased.

Report this to the Empire, get the order, push forward at full speed, and approach the far port.

The comatose dragon was placed in the most confidential area of ​​the Black Pine Forest. The empire's order was not to notify the dragon clan for the time being, because they needed more information.

The imperial people were really frightened. Because of the "Pride of the Dragon", it is easy to coax some stupid humans. Since the cultural strategy of the elves has been successful, the dragons are also learning this. The weak and inferior often like to whitewash the strong. , it is not surprising that they have the quality of benevolence and generosity.

With some admiration, some hilarity, and more eagerness, they rushed to the far port.

After seeing the elves, the council and some cats and dogs ships and even the dragon army all carry out the same order, the last doubt in my heart was dispelled.

You see, the council is not stupid, the elves are very smart, they have done it, so it is true.

After being heavily guarded by the guards, the captain came to the room where the dragon Luz was recuperating. Fortunately, the dragon used the last strength to solidify the Transfiguration, otherwise they could only bask each other on the deck.

The adjutant opened the door, and the scent of the potion rushed to his face. The captain and admiral stepped into it, and there was a sound of the door closing behind him. He took two steps forward, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned around.

The adjutant who was supposed to be at the door stood inside the house, which was closed from the inside.

The captain frowned and said, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, there was movement next to him, and when he turned his head, he saw that the seriously injured dragon had already stood up.

Violet glowed in his eyes.

The captain's expression changed drastically, his vindictiveness was tumbling, but the next moment, a stronger force emerged from behind, his arms were already tightly clamped, that was his adjutant and his nephew, the whole ship was the least likely to betray him He is also his most trusted subordinate.

He opened his mouth to shout, but his head was held down by a hand, and his mouth was blocked. Through his fingers, he saw the eyes of the giant dragon, evil, sinister, and full of the cruelty of beasts.

"Plans have changed."

It said: "You should immediately attack the Goths, ships and cities."

The captain struggled with a whimper.

The dragon's expression was evil with a hint of rigidity.

"Don't worry," it said. "I'll make you obey."

After the giant dragon turned into a human, the handsome and unpretentious face was centered on the nose, and it split like a piranha.

Countless tentacles shook off the terrifying goo and stretched out towards the captain.

In the desperate muffled cry, the captain vaguely heard the screams and dragon roars from outside.

Horrible thoughts came to mind.

Luz said before that there is more than one giant dragon like it that has returned to the surface.

The elves, the council, and even the dragon army all marched at the same time in tacit understanding.

So, what are the other dragons... doing?

The tragic pain swept through the soul, and the writhing tentacles pierced into the body from the eyes, nose, ears, mouth and even the skin, depriving him of his five senses.

Then, something poured in.

"-madman!"

Independent of time and space, the fault of the world, the strange space full of gears and clockwork, the purple blood stained the brass-colored ground, a large number of broken tentacles are twisting weakly, not yet inactive, scarred The aberration dragon showed some kind of crazy fear.

It was breathing heavily.

The river of origin has disappeared, and there is no mysterious element here, which means that the energy consumed cannot be replenished, it is the same as Kant.

It thought that this would become its own advantage again. After all, Kant seems to have been unable to use the power of space, nor can it be supplemented from the river of origin. It thought that with the advantages of strength and size, it was enough to kill the abominable aurora ants, but the other party More like a beast than him.

Not afraid of close combat, even actively seeking fierce fighting, his unknown and terrifying power is like the **** mouth of a giant beast, biting everything, devouring everything, he grabs the tentacles, presses the flesh, and then the limbs. It disappears, and then the flesh disintegrates...that's the kind of power.

It even made Trixis have a terrifying idea.

A thought that never belonged to a dragon.

- will be eaten.

It finally felt fear.

"Mad! Get away from me!" It vibrated its wings, inspired the remaining strength, soared into the sky, accelerated away, and flew towards the world, "Get away from me!"

Bright wings.

Kant chased fiercely, the locust armor on his body was tattered, and the high-intensity battle could not be supplemented. Many locusts were in the white fog world, and here, only one died when one died.

But he didn't care.

"I ate you!" He laughed wildly, "I ate you ate you ate you!"

The violent meteor crashed into the Aberration Dragon.

Trixis frantically turned around to fight, tentacles, flying thorns, minions, attacking the fewer and fewer locust shields, and the aberrant dragon was already crazy, he roared: "Don't think about it! I gave up everything to come here! Race! Fellows! Glory! I must find the Ascension! All that was lost will come back!"

"I can't come back!"

Kant roared, shouted, howled: "So it must kill you kill you kill you!"

The remaining power collided in the air, Trixis gathered the last power, and shot out the light cannon of energy. Kant could no longer open the door of phase, so Shenghui rolled the insect swarm and slammed into it.

With a violent explosion, the two lunatics who were fighting in the void were pushed by the violent aftermath and fell downward. In mid-air, Kant and Tricis tried their best to maintain their bodies, and still roared to the distant enemy to send out the energy that could be issued. All long-range attacks, two figures fell to the ground one after another, making a dull roar.

Kant rolled over in pain.

The Astral Ring and the Grywinder Swarm provided a buffer, but they still caused quite a shock.

They fell into a huge square.

Kant turned his head reluctantly. In front of him was a huge hollowed-out sphere that towered into the clouds. It was quietly placed on a huge base, covered with mysterious patterns. In the center of the square, it was like a mountain.

Trixis should have fallen to the other side.

He gritted his teeth and propped himself up, and got up like a ghost, his terrifying eyes glanced at him.

kill him.

Must kill him.

Alone again, trapped in this place, and never able to return home.

So be sure to kill him.

The long-term pressure, the fear of fate, the encounter with the gorilla, everything in this long and chaotic battle has wiped away the excess emotions. Today, Kant has almost collapsed, becoming pure, unique and paranoid, only in his mind. The last obsession remained.

Kill that dragon.

Must kill him.

He stared gloomily at everything around him, the towering metal sphere should have surprised and familiar to him, but now, everything was out of his sight.

He only had one thought left.

His eyes swept across the square in front of him.

There is a light there.

Not Trixis, Kant looked elsewhere.

Then his body shook.

Suddenly turned back.

There is a light ahead.

Someone is standing there.

Unfamiliar and familiar.

She is the first ray of light in the fear and despair of life in the other world, the first friendly creature to rely on, the first tolerant person who can listen to his thoughts.

Even when she came to the mainland, she reappeared in front of him, with a new body, but she was still the same as she was in the old days, a little silly, but very cute, and he was always with him, just like before.

her name is…

"A gorilla..."

Kant murmured: "A gorilla."

A ray of light shone into the chaotic and twisted soul.

He suddenly realized what was the real purpose of chasing this place without hesitation.

Not killing Trixis.

is her.

"A gorilla..."

He dragged his tired and painful body, rolling and crawling towards the light.

"A gorilla!"

He shouted the name.

In the vast square, the sound of stepping on the brass floor was empty and empty, and he got closer and closer to the other party, and he also saw her appearance, familiar face, familiar figure, and familiar smile.

There she is.

Tears fell unconsciously.

Running to the base of the huge sphere, there are a hundred steps up.

He ran all the way.

Kant shouted: "A gorilla!"

is already close at hand.

Then he heard the voice of the gorilla.

"Kant!"

She is shouting.

Tears washed down his embarrassed face, and Kant wiped a tear: "I'm here!"

But the next moment, he was stunned.

Aang's whole body was shrouded in warm rays of light, she smiled and shouted her name, but her eyes were a little empty and did not focus on him.

"Kant."

That gentle voice sounded a little different from the gorilla.

"I know you're here, I know you're listening, I can't see you, but I'm sure you can see me and hear me."

Only then did Kant discover the armor on the gorilla.

It was Horus who listened to his description and imitated the armor made by the ancients.

It was also the same armor as the armor I had seen in my memory...

"You may have many questions, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I came here, and you came here after all. We meet here in another way beyond imagination. The final sacrifice and price... But I believe it's all worth it."

A gorilla came to the front.

In this strange world where the concepts of time and space have become disordered, her face is filled with the sanctity of time and hope. Kant can feel it. He sees two places where the river of time flows, in a small tributary. To be able to meet...wonderful, incomprehensible, elusive.

But it seems... has also realized.

The passage of time, the passing of time, the vicissitudes of the past, this piece of heaven and earth is wonderful and unspeakable, as if it was destined by fate, as if it was an accident of time.

Only one thing is certain.

- Kant triggers the final space-time flashback.

A gorilla's hand was on his shoulder, it was warm to the touch, and the time was intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish the past from the present.

"Hear me out…"
