Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

When she woke up the next day, Delilah was gone.

Only the fragrant fragrance of the quilt proves that this quilt had the honor to contain the elven female crown's unparalleled beauty for a night. Kant turned around and took a deep breath.

Yu Wen is gone, gone for a while.

There was something on the bedside table, Kant touched it, and there was a piece of paper.

The first line is "I'm going back".

The second line is "I didn't say anything last night, and you are not allowed to mention it in the future".

The third line is "but if you dare to forget, I will kill you".

They are all in Aurora, taking into account Kant's semi-literate nature.

- After Mr. Tina insisted on teaching for thirty-five minutes at most once in three months, Kant recognized some characters after all, and had already stepped into the realm of semi-literacy.

He was silent for a moment and carefully put away the paper.

There is also a box on the table with a piece of paper on it.

"Burning out your mattress is compensation."

Kant was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the flaming knife from last night.

He shook his head and smiled, took the box, and opened it with anticipation.

Then, the face of the earth man changed immediately.

Although it looks extremely delicate and beautiful, it is like a work of art, although the shape is subtly different from what he has seen, a feeling of an exotic magic revision.

But Kant recognized the thing at a glance.

There is a pistol in the box.

Ten minutes later, Kant pushed open the door, turned to look, and Tina stuck her head out of her room.

The long blond hair fell like a waterfall.

"How did you sleep... eh?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess came to Kant in three steps and two steps, worried: "What's wrong?"

Kant smiled: "I was surprised—although it was expected, but I was still surprised, and it really shouldn't be underestimated..."

Tina blinked: "What?"

"A gift," Kant replied. "A reminder."

Princess Goethe was puzzled and hugged Kant's arm: "I don't know - but it sounds like, His Majesty the Phoenix King had a pleasant night last night."

It's okay not to mention this. Speaking of this, Kant glared at Tina, raised his hand and patted her buttocks, making a soft pop, and the plump touch of slapping a water bag vibrated his palm.

Tina let out a low cry, her face blushing, and she said pitifully, "I was wrong."

Seeing her pretending to lower her eyebrows, Kant couldn't help pinching her face: "What do you think?"

Her Royal Highness held Kant's arm tightly, and said in a senseless tone: "In the situation last night, you can't drive her away. If you leave her here alone for the night, then Kant, you will definitely go to my room to sleep, and Her Majesty Delilah will definitely **** up her ears to listen at night, and she will definitely hear a lot of sounds that should not be heard... Isn't that too bad, maybe she will lose her temper."

When she said this, she showed a cute look of gossip—obviously, ugly women gossip, that's called gossip, and pretty women gossip, that's cute.

Her Royal Highness asked cutely: "How about it, did you make any progress last night?"

Kant thought about what happened last night—Derila confided to him.

During these days, he has maintained an alliance-like relationship, so the pressure and criticism from the country, whether it is political or civil... The queen is silently enduring.

Politicians criticized her can be dismissive.

But the disappointment and anger of the families of the dead soldiers made her feel ashamed.

A qualified politician will regard the soldiers as tool people and the war as a political bargaining chip. Signing machine to sign soldiers' death notices.

But Derrella is not a politician, and it all becomes her own burden.

This is the price she paid for choosing Kant and trusting Kant. The noble Phoenix King always insisted on her own ideas and judgments. She made an agreement with Kant... to defeat the star palace, save the mortal world, and let the elves recognize Kant and what he established. The deeds he has made, and the feats he has created.

Besides, there are other reasons.

Although not directly, but also very clear.

"But don't get me wrong! Forgive you for more than that!"

Delilah said so.

Kant sighed slowly.

Tina looked at his profile: "What's the matter-"

Before he finished speaking, he was wrapped around his waist by Kant and hugged him in his arms.

There is no charm in this hug, even if the beautiful and attractive body is pressed with fiery softness through the thin fabric... Kant just hugged Tina quietly.

"thanks."

He said what he didn't say last night...though only half of it.

Kant whispered: "The world with you... I'm very happy."

Tina was surprised at first, then smiled softly and hugged Kant back.

"Ah." She leaned on Kant's shoulder, her long eyelashes trembled, her blue sky-like eyes closed, and she murmured like a dream, "Although it was unexpected, it was an unexpected surprise."

Kant also closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer... I have solved this major matter at the moment and won us space for future development. I will deal with my own affairs."

"It's okay." Tina patted his back gently, "I can wait a long time."

The shogunate meeting was held again.

The parrot is absent, which is reasonable, and the shogunate ministers are all present.

"Mr. Dong."

Kant bowed his head to the emperor, the old man is smiling now, and his spirit is very good. He should be in good spirits when he is in a happy event.

Dong Tianming smiled and cupped his hands: "This is a happy event, but it's just a small joy. According to the old officials and friends, the offensive of the powerful enemies and foreign captives has stopped for a while, and Shenzhou has won a chance to breathe."

Kant hesitated for a moment, pouring cold water on people's happy moments is not a good thing, but with Dong Tianming's ingenuity, it should not be unexpected.

He knocked sideways and said, "Will something go wrong?"

The emperor smiled and said: "Master Mingjian, it is indeed abnormal for the enemies and captives to take a break from the offensive, but for the imperial court, whether it is abnormal or not, the situation will not be worse. Whatever happened, it's always a good thing."

Kant nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you want us..."

Dong Tianming shook his head: "There are priorities, the lord should not be distracted."

This issue has already been discussed.

That is, should we directly interfere in the Aurora war situation now?

Although the military industry of AWSL and Yuangang has just started, it is still unable to continuously export arms to Aurora, but there is no need to sell arms there to interfere with the Aurora war situation.

As long as Duke Qin goes to the battlefield in person, which front to attack the city or attack the enemy's captives, he can raise his hand and throw a stone. The forbidden spell can no longer be used indiscriminately in the mainland. Harmony is stable, but on the Aurora side, there is no need to worry at all.

But Dong Tianming said, no.

At least not for the time being.

Even if the heart wants to conquer the homeland, kill the enemy captives, and help the imperial court, the emperor does not advocate interfering in the battle of Aurora now. Dong Tianming believes that the battle of Aurora has been prolonged and the situation has become complicated. It's just a matter of foreign invasion.

The collapse of the country in Aurora was because of the tyrannical invasion of bloodthirsty and terrifying barbarians from the outside, the rebels who hid the filth and filth and rose up while the plague, the eunuchs in the palace spoke eloquently, and did evil everywhere, and there were treacherous and bizarre people in the court. The powerful ministers and giant merchants made waves, and the four evils came out together, and it was only then that the world was in chaos.

Now that the Empress has come to the throne, the ministers have worked together to reorganize the dynasty and resist foreign enemies. Relying on the strong foundation of the prosperous world, the gradually awakened national consciousness, and the heroes from the troubled times, half of the country has been forcibly defended.

But the scars are still deeply branded on the rivers and mountains, in the country, in the court, and in the hearts of the people.

The prosperous atmosphere before the collapse of Guozuo, the individual responsibility for the rise and fall of the world, and the heroic spirit of united will, after all, gradually deteriorated in the long-term setback and the doomsday collapse.

"The current situation of the court is too complicated, and the enemies are not foreign enemies and traitors. The internal silverfish and rot rats are more cunning and hidden. Ironically speaking, the four murderers are not united, and they will also be hostile to each other. Sheji left a ray of life behind.”

The original Dong Tianming explained it this way: "It's a fragile balance now... The enemy has not attacked the city, and the war has turned into a stalemate. If the lord sets foot on the battlefield, with the power of the forbidden spell, of course he can be invincible and conquer the rivers and mountains, but With the military, manpower and material resources of the imperial court, it is unable to immediately expedition to the north, clean up the rivers and mountains, and recuperate the people, which requires preparation, mobilization and planning."

"Furthermore, if the lord uses thunder to destroy the enemy's captives and sweep away foreign enemies, the balance will be broken, internal conflicts will erupt immediately, and the silverfish and rotten rats hidden in the court and the people will accelerate the corruption of people's hearts and lure evil spirits. …”

"The Forbidden Spell can make great achievements in siege and field battles, but it can't sweep away the rats hiding in the shadows. At that time, Aurora will fall into even greater turmoil, and I'm not sure, after all, the external enemies have disappeared, and they will be suppressed because of the external enemies. The internal conflict will erupt violently…”

Dong Tianming's words were extremely euphemistic, and it took Kant a while to figure it out.

To put it simply, the emperor thinks that the princes of this court have a little bit of it.

This can be seen from the canonized official position of the Empress - of course, she is extremely favored and unheard of in ancient times, but if you think about it carefully, that unsealable high-ranking official is actually quite tasteless.

A few real powers can be directly awarded by the emperor, but the real power to govern the country is empty. It can be seen that the attitude towards Kant, the empress and the court have not reached an agreement.

Therefore, on the issue of "whether to immediately support the Aurora operation", the imperial division is very cautious.

He knew too much about the quality and problems of this group of court officials, and he knew too much about Kant.

—Think about this dragon of Aurora, who has the great grace of protecting the country to Goethe. After living in Danfeng Lucerne for less than a month, he broke up with all the Goethe nobles headed by the Grand Duke, and subsequently punished the Far Harbor nobles with severe punishment. , which also proves that he and the nobles really can't pee in the same pot.

Such an uncle has a bad relationship with the nobles of the small country of Goethe. If he really returns to Aurora and becomes an official in the court, he will be angry and start planning how to wash the court in three days.

It is precisely because of this that Dong Tianming believes that Kant does not need to go to Aurora in a short time.

Still focus on the strategy of the mainland. Anyway, there has been no war in Aurora recently. As for returning to the East, it is not too late to wait for Duke Qin to establish his achievements and gather his army.

after all…

You can't do it yourself, can you? Purging Chaogang always has its own troops, right?

If I go back to the court alone, I can only be a strategic weapon tool person, and then I am targeted by a group of court officials who play with power and tactics, and return with the Wancheng army. That is the general trend.

"Also, the elves' feelings have to be considered."

The re-establishment of contact between Yuangang and Aurora, and even the eastward crossing of the diplomatic mission, were all transits through Muyue, which was considered a compromise and tacit understanding.

Of course, Kant can set up his own fleet, but the distance is long and the sea conditions are complicated. It is difficult to make merits for a while. If the route is successfully established, it will greatly stimulate the Muyue Dynasty. , enough to make the elves have a great sense of crisis.

Now the Far Harbor and the Arcane Council are fighting every day, the whole continent smells of the impending war, and the stupid human beings are fighting each other, the elves are of course willing to sit on the sidelines, coupled with Derela's hard work, the elves have maintained Neutral to friendly stance.

And once Far Harbor bypasses Muyue and establishes a complete connection with Aurora, it may cause the Silver Moon Council to completely change its position, determined to fully curb the rise of Kant in the Western Land.

It is precisely because of such considerations that the shogunate made the decision not to let go of Muzuki.

In this case, it means that the elves have acquiesced to the far port to start a great shipping route and rebuild the east-west connection, and the far port must also "fully respect the power of the twilight moon and sea". proceed, and in return for this respect, the elves will also increase their assistance to Aurora.

This level of political compromise is actually quite miraculous.

The elves are well aware that Kant has the ability to restart the great route. After all, the increasing number of steel giants in the Far Harbor and the Broken Isles is the proof, and the sharp-eared people have to admit painfully that even if Kant did so, Even Muyue has no choice, because the Royal Navy may not be able to stop those terrifying giant ships, not to mention that Kant can drop more warships into any sea area at any time.

In this case, Kant's "surface essay" is very valuable.

He agreed that the sea trade connection between Far Harbor and Aurora would be participated by the elf fleet, and the elf must be grateful for this kindness and sincerity, not only to do their best to deliver goods, but also to double their assistance to Aurora in exchange for Kant's temporary absence. Fully cooperate with Aurora.

Of course, there are also small actions in private - the elves have been assisting Aurora these years, the invasion of soft power and the binding of interests have been deeply rooted, and there are also many spokespersons in the Aurora court, taking this opportunity to continue activities and deepen these Orientals Vigilance and hostility towards Kant are also basic operations.

"Never mind, since there will be no full cooperation and direct communication with Aurora in a short period of time, the elf is the big Kaizi that he sent to his door, and we all have a bright future."

This matter is established, Kant confirmed the idea of ​​the emperor again, and the matter of helping Aurora is temporarily given up.

After all, one of his Aurora veterans said he was stuck with tape.

"If you want to take it, you must give it first. Presumably Your Majesty also understands this principle. Therefore, Duke Qin, don't be impatient. Although the canonization of the official position is grand, it is only tasteless. Please look at the sincerity of Aurora. "

Hearing what Dong Tianming said, Kant nodded in agreement.

"The members of the mission from Aurora East have all learned the common language of the mainland on the ship. This is a surprise, and communication is always not a problem." He said, "After last night's banquet, they should have an impact on the far port. After the initial sense of identity, the next step is to let them fully integrate into and familiarize themselves with their positions.”

Dong Tianming and Hong San both nodded.

Hong San smiled and said, "His Royal Highness should be very good at it."

"That is - the little genius phone watch for them is ready, they have to perform well before they can become a regular and change into a DD boy, and the daily tasks and weekly tasks are also designed to be similar."

Kant proudly said: "The specific general direction, we have discussed, these more than 3,000 Dongduers, according to their expertise and positions, are organized into different departments, using the old man to bring new people, so that they are familiar with the Far Harbor. The operation mode and specific situation of the Ministry, soldiers go to the army, officials go to the government, craftsmen go to workshops, scientific researchers go to the Department of Truth…”

Horus' mechanical voice was calm and dull: "Beauty goes to Tide Sound Manor."

Except for Leona, all the ministers laughed.

Kant blushed and glared at Iron Son.

"Okay, stop laughing."

He stretched out his hand and pressed: "The topic of the Dongdu mission ends here, each department will follow its steps to absorb and place them, Ren Xian and Neng-then, it is the issue of war."

Hearing this, everyone looked solemn.

war.

Sitting here are the core figures of the Kant shogunate, assisting Kant in managing the affairs of the Far Harbor, the Broken Isles, the Underworld and Valentine, almost the same as the cabinet.

They listened to Kant's thoughts and ideas, perfected Kant's orders, and ensured that these orders were carried out, so they also knew Kant's decisions and what would happen next.

The most important one is war.

With a military victory in the frontal battlefield, Kant will establish Far Harbor's detached international status, break the fear and rejection of Far Harbor by the veteran forces in the mainland, and become one of the great powers.

The chosen opponent is the Austrian Law Council.

In the past few months, from the trade war to the political conflict, the situation has been heating up. The whole continent smells the war, but no one knows it.

It is not known when the war will break out.

I don't know what the reason will be.

Not sure in what form it will take place.

I don't know how it will end.

"We're going to have another war game, because I got a lot of new intelligence and tips last night." Condela passed the whiteboard at hand, "The first one is weapons."
