Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Only you are left."

The voice echoed in the audience hall.

With millions of soldiers, the continent is the strongest, and several rivals the Duyue Dynasty. The empire in the name of the holy is a veritable co-lord of mankind. The emperor's long whip can punish any country that does not obey.

But its messenger came arrogantly, and went away with a split liver and gallbladder.

The influence is the highest in the mainland, the world's spellcasters are halfway out, and the network is intertwined. The Arcane Council almost symbolizes the way forward to explore the ultimate mystery of the world. Such an international organization can make any small country with just one order. 's magic power completely stopped.

But its messengers suffered a second humiliation, and even one of them shed blood on the spot.

The loose interest groups formed by their own factions in the north of the empire, the combination of power and wealth, the behemoth formed by the great nobles, wealthy businessmen and local bureaucrats, its economic and military size, even if it is only a part of the empire, is by no means comparable to Goethe. Compared with the Empire and the Council, it is only a younger brother, but its actual strength has surpassed most small countries and principalities.

But the messenger who came to collect the debts blew away, unable to straighten his spine at all.

Under the guidance of the will of the behemoth behind them, these three envoys set off huge waves in Goethe's court and opposition. Not long ago, they made various demands here with seemingly modest but arrogant attitudes, while Goethe's monarchs and ministers could only bear it. Listening is not to be afraid of the messenger in front of you, but to be afraid of the power behind it. Goethe's chaos, internal and external predicaments, all come from the outrageous conflict of world powers.

But now, all external pressure has dissipated.

The arrogant messenger bowed his head, his arrogance disappeared.

But the dull air that echoed over the hall of audience did not dissipate, and even became more gloomy. The Goethe dignitaries present were not delighted, but even more uneasy.

Because the people who disgraced the arrogant messengers were no longer their allies.

Maybe it was before, but the actions of the past few days have pushed him to the opposite of unfriendly.

What he's saying now is - you're the only ones left.

You, not us.

This title has clearly drawn the line.

Feelings of remorse grow in the heart.

Embarrassment, daze, regret, entanglement, gloomy air presses on everyone's heart.

But the cluster effect appeared again. When these powerful and thoughtful people gathered together, they all hoped that others would stand up to ease the tense and awkward atmosphere at this time.

Whether it’s an apology or compensation, as long as today’s affairs are revealed in a decent manner, there will be enough time to mend the broken relationship. This is a common law among nobles, just like everyone present. Your Excellency has also fought openly and secretly, even **** conflicts, but it will not continue to fight, nor will it be endless, even if you lose, even if you give in, you can make corresponding compensation.

...just need one person to stand up first to ease the tension and embarrassment.

But this person must not be himself.

Many people were secretly looking at the Grand Duke, and even made gestures with their eyes, but unfortunately the Grand Duke on the throne just narrowed his eyes and turned a deaf ear to everything.

The Goethe dignitaries present regretted it. Before forcing the palace, they used some means to tie down Kant's potential supporters, the second son of the Grand Duke, His Royal Highness Landiston, the priests of the Church of the Sun, and even Princess Tina and the waterfall snow swordsman. , were not present.

There are no steps at all now.

They quietly gestured with their eyes, pondering how to open today's page with dignity, but no one had the courage. The Count Cassatt, who had spoken generously in front of Kant before, was now paralyzed on the ground, shaking his body constantly, a few A nobleman has been around him without a trace.

The wisdom and care of the nobles are reflected at this moment, and they have reached a tacit consensus. Now that the situation has turned, the Earl of Cassatt has lost all the right to speak, whether he wants to continue provocatively or fearfully. If Kant asks for mercy, those nobles from knighthood will control him at the first time - if you ask Kant for mercy, it must be accompanied by betrayal and betrayal.

So don't let him speak.

...but this kind of carefulness is still not helping to resolve the current embarrassing situation.

While hesitating, they heard Kant's voice.

"Why, do you have any last words?"

There was no anger or murderous intent in this calm voice.

But it hit people's hearts like a hammer.

There was even a subconscious exclamation with poor concentration, and the crowd was in a commotion. Even the veteran nobles who had been in a deep city and experienced hundreds of battles couldn't help but be moved. Frightened, some people were already retreating quietly.

"how?"

Kant said in amazement: "Everyone looks surprised? Why are you standing here? Why do you believe in false rumors, and slander and criticize me while I am fighting for the future of this country? Isn't it because you are afraid of the siege and siege of the countries. Threats, I feel that I can't hold it, and I am afraid that everything I have will be destroyed, so I choose appeasement and compromise, choose to kneel down as a dog, choose to betray me?"

"You guys think that I can't win, that even I can't stop the siege of the nations, and that supporting me is to be taken away by the reckoning of the nations, so you made this choice—but now I've won! I Breaking the blockade of the countries, I forced them to bow their heads and admit defeat!"

"So why are you surprised? You chose to betray me in order to avoid being attacked by various countries and destroy your family, and why do you think that I will let you go if you win? Is it in your heart that the empire and the council do things that I do? Can't Kant do it?"

Speaking of which, he was already stern.

Protests came from the crowd: "We're not just for ourselves..."

"OK!"

Kant pointed to the open space on the left: "Then, after the spread of rumors to the present, the people were incited, I changed from a guardian to a conspirator, and when many evil rumors were spread, I spoke for Kant and stopped the unwarranted slander, or I believe that I have no malicious intentions, and the opposition is just because I insist on my own ideas and ideas, and choose to compromise for the peace of the country or the peace of the family, you can stand on that side!"

Many people wanted to move their footsteps, Kant said sharply: "Think about it, under the sky, the gods are watching, what has been said and done will definitely leave traces in the long river of time, dare to lie about this matter. People, remember my words today, once your lies are exposed, I swear with my soul that you and your family can live at least another year!"

Only a dozen people hesitated and walked over calmly.

"Fuck you."

Kant laughed angrily: "Do these adults who keep silent or secretly contribute to the fire, just believe that I Kant is a villain with ulterior motives?"

"The Empire chose to stand by when you needed help the most, made a plot with the elves to carve up Goethe, and even killed Tina in Huisha Town, and the Austrian Council, known as the guardian of the world, was convinced that Goethe had fallen to the elves. Regardless of the iron hoof, now that it is profitable, it runs faster than anyone else!"

"And me! For your war, I fought against the elves, a forbidden spell, two decisive battles, hundreds of thousands of casualties, and found paradox elements, and I have to share them with you, and the result is this!"

"You were grateful to me more than ten days ago. How many of the gifts piled up in the two storage rooms of the Maple Leaf Palace were sent by you! How many of the invitations piled up into the hills were filled with laughter by you to the director of the palace!"

"It's only been a while, and I've become a thief with ulterior motives, someone who dares not stand over, answer me one more question, believe that rumor, are you stupid or bad! Answer honestly, and I'll let you go!"

Storms, rage, and murderous awe.

"You don't need to answer, I know that you are nobles, big men, how can you be stupid, you are not stupid, you are too smart, you are so smart that I am sick! The things in this world are not for no reason, see You, I know why Goethe has declined from a strong country to this point, being played by the empire, and being invaded by the elves! It is because of you shameless scumbags who are shrewd and only caring for themselves! No matter how strong a country is, it will be destroyed by your so-called so-called Nobles are gradually eroding and corrupting!"

Looking at the silent dignitaries, Kant raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"Why, don't speak, you think it's enough to be scolded by me? I understand your routine, and this is the end. You kneel neatly against the empire and the council. It's okay to kneel on me again, it's nothing more than a little blood. Teach you a lesson, stop fighting against me, find a way to let Tina blow the pillow, and find some people who I am embarrassed to refuse to be lobbyists, and this matter can be slowly uncovered..."

"-dream!"

"I can tell you today, this is just the beginning, it's definitely not just a matter of killing a few scapegoats! Let you **** continue to dominate the country that Cleveland and Valentine bought back with their lives. Doing a blessing is an insult to them, be prepared, you are afraid of the lewd power of the emperor and the council, then I will let you experience the methods of my Kant!"

Hearing this, the old aristocrats in the deepest city couldn't help but change their expressions. Their plan was indeed the same. They lied down and ridiculed them. The loser loses to the winner, and the latter will not rush to kill. This is the rule.

But now, Kant clearly does not intend to abide by this rule.

That is... is he going to war against all of Goethe's vested interests?

"enough."

The Grand Duke on the throne finally spoke.

The voice of the Goethe Lion dispelled everyone's anxiety, and many people were relieved. Teldaril was Teldaril after all. In the face of the rules built by all the nobles for hundreds of years, the Archduke made the right choice and chose to maintain This fine tradition.

If it is the Grand Duke, it should make Kant have some scruples, because this is the will of Teddariel, Princess Tina and the Sword Saint of waterfall snow are...

"—Enough for your mother."

Frozen violent words echoed in this sacred hall.

The nobles showed stunned expressions.

Kant moved his neck for a while, with a dignified expression, and looked at the Grand Duke from a distance.

"What are you looking at?" he said sullenly, "I'm scolding you, you immortal stupid thing."

The Grand Duke showed a look of rage, anger and entanglement fought on his face. The moment he became angry, he realized the conflict of identity. The people in front of him were not only the so-called juniors, not only the ones chosen by his daughter, but also those who held deterrence. The sword, the triumphant liquidator.

And he now speaks to himself as the latter.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Kant raised a finger.

"To shut up."

Kant said slowly: "I suggest you, now, keep your mouth shut."

The Fire Thief took a deep breath, shook his head, and remained silent for a moment, then said, "You are Tina's father, I don't want to make it difficult for her, and I respect you, Archduke Reknos, without a doubt. You are a good person, in a peaceful and prosperous country, you will be embraced and remembered by your subjects as a monarch, but you are not suitable to be the current Goethe monarch, you were born in the wrong era."

"I know your position and your thoughts. We had a quarrel over this a few days ago. I know that your position is biased towards compromise and appeasement. You want to keep the dignity and peace of a small country, and you have no intention of being a monarch of a strong country. , do not want to pay the corresponding price.”

"I know you made that decision with sincerity and selflessness. You just wanted to let the suffering people enjoy their days of peace, and you didn't want war and unrest to come again."

"You don't believe my ability, it's understandable, if I say that I alone can not only deter the countries with the forbidden spell, but also make Goethe prosperous quickly under the blockade and suppression of the countries, there will be no military disaster, nor There will be a shortage of supplies and the people of Li will suffer from starvation, you will not believe it, it is like a bragging joke, after all, no matter how strong the forbidden spell is, you can't conjure soldiers and food out of thin air, right?"

Kant sighed: "Understandable, really, I can understand your hardships and your choices, I won't even investigate your house arrest Tina, who made you her father, but now, I I don't want to talk to you, I just want you to shut up."

"To shut up."

He pointed to Archduke Reknos.

"Shut your mouth, don't interfere, don't express opinions, don't try to ease the relationship, it's just you and me, you're not on my side, you're on their side."

"Now I ask you to shut up, just as the Empire and the Council have forced you to compromise with Goethe's peace and the safety of the people, so I also demand you to shut up with the same threat."

Kant pointed to the side door next to him: "Otherwise, just sit here and listen, or else, go back to your room and stay, or else, come and experience my Kant's methods."

The Grand Duke's eyes were boiling with anger, and he tightly grasped the handle of the chair.

He felt an unprecedented shame and anger, but under Kant's cold and stern gaze, he still didn't say a word or leave.

Still no one spoke.

The temperature in the room is continuing to drop, and there is no sign of warming at all.

This time it's real fear... Fear is really spreading.

What is the scariest thing?

The most terrifying thing is not the powerful invaders, nor the conquest of swordsmen.

It's someone who doesn't follow the rules and has the power to break them.

Even in the face of the Grand Duke, Kant has imposed more rude words and deeds, and this is still the case for the old man. What kind of storm should it be to treat those betrayers who have no relationship with him?

In Kant's current status, there is absolutely no possibility of taking back the rhetoric he put down on this occasion.

The threat came like a dark cloud.

The unabashed contempt in the threat is even more humiliating.

Because it is clearly stated.

It's not a matter of vain and stubbornness, and a sudden killer after the fact, but a public break, almost pointing to the noses of everyone and saying, I'm going to kill you, you are all ready.

I don't mind at all that you know, nor your resistance and struggle.

How arrogant this is.

- He's crazy, he must be crazy.

Because the forces that we can be implicated by the people present have united, and they have almost controlled most of the tax revenue, food, soldiers and public opinion in this country! To be against the whole country?

What does he want to do?

Why don't you accept our apology, why do you want to kill them all? Don't you know that this kind of behavior will even make the nobles of other countries alert and indignant?

Is it going to cause public outrage around the world?

Resentment, resentment, shame and fear, many eyes looked at, Kant arrogantly leaning on the seat, with his legs crossed, he glanced frivolously at the presence of the dignitaries, the real ruling class and controller of this country.

With these selfish ruling classes, how can we really control this country.

"What," he said. "Finally starting to really understand me?"

The crowd was silent.

"Actually, I'm very curious, really curious, why are you not afraid of me, I don't know what I did wrong, so that you don't know awe at all, is it because the forbidden spell and bomb did not fall on your head, you just I've always felt that I was fascinated by Tina's beauty, so I came to you Goethe without any complaints, and did not ask for anything in return!?"

When Kant said this, he stood up suddenly, the shield on the opposite side was lit up, his vindictiveness was encouraged, and the tense string of fear finally broke, but none of the people who were fully alert and defensive did not attack, but just stepped back in fear and put on a defensive posture. Stance, and even the weak fell directly to the ground.

The Earthling sneered.

"I swept all of you to death here today. If you don't accept it, I also find it boring. This time I won the victory, and the fruits of victory must be slowly harvested. It's too cheap to kill you now. I want to get it back from you one by one, let’s play slowly.”

"Valentan is mine, the paradox elements in the underground of Bibo province, and Goethe can't get a little bit of light. You make rumors that I swallowed the paradox elements and ran away and left you to the countries to vent their anger. If I don't do this , isn't it wronged by Bai, you are afraid of power, and I will let you know what power is."

"After I go back, eat and drink well, connect with more people, and call all those who can be called. I will clear them all together, and it will save a lot of trouble in the future."

"Everyone, we don't have to see you again."

Kangde Shi Shiran turned around, and Hong San went to push the door.

A shout came from behind: "His Royal Highness Kant, do you want to be an enemy of this country?"

Kant turned his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Instead, the voice went out of its way: "This is not a solution to the problem..."

Kant interrupted him: "It's like this, the empire and the council put pressure on them to make you idiots ungrateful and turn black and white. Now, I slap them all over the face, and they have to dry up. She asked me with a shy face if my hand hurt - so do you think I would care about that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong San had already pushed open the door. There was a scream from a distance, and a tired messenger came in a hurry, shouting: "Emergency information! Far port! The fleets of various countries encountered a strange attack, His Royal Highness Kant has..."

The other party saw the Aurora at the end of the corridor and behind the gate.

Kant looked at the phone: "It ran well, Fiddy Pitts."

ah?

The messenger just wanted to say that he didn't call this name, and he didn't come here. Kant patted him on the shoulder and walked away, followed by a group of Valentines with weapons.

The audience hall in front was deadly silent.

Under the watchful eye of the guards, he left the official area along the corridor, and Hong San said, "His Royal Highness, I have arranged for the envoys of various countries to be stopped in advance."

Kant nodded and said: "Saints don't pretend to be forced twice in front of the same group of people, at least not within a day. Help me to say it - do you know what to say?"

"Understood." Hong San said, "List."

"Go get busy, these things are left to you, pay attention to safety."

Kant patted him on the shoulder: "I'll go see Tina, come to me after you're done."

Hong San nodded and said, "Your Highness, how long will it take?"

Kant was stunned for a moment, then saw the smile in Hong San's eyes, kicked it, and said proudly, "Five hours!"
