Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Fastest update! No ads!

The situation on the West Coast was changing. Griffin, the former Grand Speaker of the Council of the rebellion in the north, pointed the finger at Kant, claiming that the Aurora people and the surrender faction within the Council had jointly planned the murder of the Tower of All-Seeing, and called on all those who have suffered from Kant for a long time. Righteous people unite to expel the Aurora people from this continent.

The statement came out, and the Far Harbor officially declared war on Griffin.

First-hand diplomatic news spreads across the continent like lightning.

After learning that the Far Harbor Shogunate declared war, Griffin gave a speech to formally respond to the declaration of war.

He declared that the citizens of the council who love peace but are not afraid of war are ready to go to the battlefield, and the bravest soldiers will punish the **** butcher of Aurora.

At the same time, he also stated that the culprit who must be punished is Kant of Aurora. He is the culprit of splitting the council. As for other differences, it is the internal contradiction of the council. Therefore, he calls on all honest people who love this country to distinguish right from wrong. , Understand your position, and don't act rashly until things get to the bottom, because the purpose of his Griffin is only to seek justice for the dead.

As soon as this statement came out, the Southern Council became very passive.

The country is divided, and conspiracies are everywhere.

The main stratum of the council is the well-educated mages who possess the power and social resources. To put it nicely, they mean that they are assertive and know how to think independently. They felt very at a loss for the murder of the Tower of All-seeing and the defection of the Grand Speaker.

Griffin-Williams has a very high prestige in the council and even the whole continent. He is respected by mages and even regarded as a spiritual father. After the incident, no mages could understand the high-level and powerful Speaker Why did you defect, and why did you plan such a **** murder case?

They can't think of an answer, so they tend to conspiracy theories.

- The grand speaker has no reason to defect, so he must be wronged and forced to do so.

The official explanation given by Carius, who was in charge of cleaning up the situation, was that "Griffin Williams was dissatisfied with the sound and complete democratic system of the Senate and tried to achieve a dictatorship. The attack was planted on Kant's head, provoked a war, and seized the opportunity to gain power."

Although this explanation makes sense from the results, it is still somewhat untenable.

Not only the commoners, but the mages can't understand - what? Does the speaker feel that he is not powerful enough? Why? Isn't he our emperor?

So executive Oxington put a patch on the official statement.

"As a northerner, Griffin, who speaks for the interests of the big workshop owners and wealthy businessmen in the north, has always been committed to encroaching on the interests of the south, and wants to take a share of the interests of the dependent countries and plantations of the southern islands that the southerners have worked hard to develop. Take the fruits of our southern labor."

"To this end, he used this **** case to cleanse the parliamentary system dominated by the southerners, and to gain power through framing and war, taking advantage of the war to place massive orders to the big workshop owners in the north, and send the soldiers from the south to the battlefield. , and lured Kant's navy to destroy the southern coastal economy, weakening the strength of the South in various ways, and finally making the balance of power between the North and the South completely unbalanced."

The merchants and pawns, scholars, peasants, businessmen, and all southerners understood.

- Griffin, I miss your mother!

That's what they shouted, the streets, the saloons, the big talkers, shouting impassionedly to protect the interests of the Southerners, **** the Yankees, don't let them take our interests away - the number of people peddling that, got Lots of coins and applause.

Beggars and rich people from the South all applauded, and felt that this statement was really right.

But when Kalius heard about Oxington's patch, he was furious.

"You described a coup d'état colluding with the Star Palace as a contradiction between the North and the South! This will cause the country to divide!" He almost snarled hysterically, "You **** traitor, Kant's dog, God **** thief!"

In this regard, Oxington smiled.

"Don't I tell you, the contradiction doesn't exist? Where is Griffin now? Do you think he really got the support of those Yankees with his so-called **** personality?"

Carius was speechless.

if not.

Do you want to tell the story of the star palace?

Without evidence and witnesses, how can the people be convinced? Even if it is said, it will only make people suspicious and ridiculed. This is an even more outrageous fabrication than "Griffin wants to be emperor".

And it will cause unnecessary panic and commotion.

He is afraid that people with intentions will take the opportunity to cause chaos, and that some people will retaliate and fight each other under the banner of "censorship of star palace lackeys". This is not an excessive worry. In fact, "cleaning up Griffin's henchmen" has already expanded the attack. Tendency, the country is already full of contradictions, and can no longer intensify new chaos.

The top priority is to prevent the country from splitting, cooperate with Kant to clean up Griffin, catch the **** of the star palace, and then use this as evidence to force him to confess his guilt, origin and conspiracy in front of the kings of the countries.

Only in this way can they win the trust of the monarchs of the countries and make them aware of the terrible threat of the Star Palace.

"But…"

He read Griffin's latest speech over and over again: "He's very clever... He stated that his primary purpose was to punish Kant, that is to say, he revealed that he had no intention of civil war, and even said that after punishing Kant, he would give all the citizens of the Senate a explain and answer."

Oxington nodded with a dark face: "He is using his former prestige and reputation very effectively."

The newly promoted executive was quite dissatisfied with Griffin during the Starry Court, and now he has no sympathy for Griffin - if he did not go to Far Harbor on business at the time, but worked in the Tower of All-Seeing, the **** case would be long. There must be his name on the death list.

This made him terrified.

And now it seems that Griffin is more difficult to deal with than imagined.

Just like this statement, he is consuming his past reputation, and the authority and fame he has built over the decades is extremely useful enough to keep the swaying citizens on hold.

- After all, the speaker has already said that he wants to punish Kant, not to fight a civil war, and he also said that he will give us an explanation after the end, so why do we send troops to the north? It is better to wait for the Grand Speaker to finish fighting Kant and see what he will say. After all, the war has not spread to the south.

Karius sighed: "The resistance to sending troops will be great."

Oxington said lightly: "I know, so Duke Kant will remember our hard work and dedication."

The temporary grand speaker looked up at him: "This is not something you and I can decide... Even if the few of us agree, the mages, soldiers and businessmen below will not start the war lightly."

Oxington shook his head: "You know, Carius, you've heard it yourself... You know Griffin has turned into a greedy wolf, you know he won't give up, and you know his impassioned speeches All lies, he sold his soul to a heavenly enemy."

"but…"

"No but, I'm just reminding you."

Oxington stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "I will do my best to facilitate the Northern Expedition, and lobby my allies to start preparing for war. All the alchemy workshops and magic manufacturing centers under my name will stop all orders, and start working hard from today. To supply various materials to the Far Harbor, I will also persuade all my allies and partners to do so... In short, in this round, I am all-in on Kant."

He glanced at Kalios: "Although personally, I hope you hesitate, look ahead and look back, and have the idea of ​​sitting and watching Griffin and Kant get together, and push back on his request and call... But, you Heard the conversation between Griffin and the Star God, you know what that is."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of the iced black tea mixed with Coca-Cola and flavored with strawberry, peach and pineapple-flavored QQ sugar tea bags, and frowned.

"Damn, the imperial people are doing some kind of shit."

Kalios thought thoughtfully and asked, "When did you take care of the overall situation so much?"

Oxington put down his glass and laughed: "I didn't tell you one thing about what I saw and heard in Far Harbor in those few months, because it was too embarrassing - as a prisoner, I was forced to accept a course, learning every day, every day, every day. 2,000 points are enough to be considered qualified... At first I felt very fucked, but then I gradually felt..."

He showed a self-deprecating smile: "It makes a lot of sense."

Kalios asked curiously, "What course? What content?"

Oxington waved his hand and said, "I forgot - after all, I am a high-ranking official in the council, the head of the Magus Sect, and I have countless wealth, contacts, and resources. Those courses are not what I should listen to."

With the spiritual power and keenness of the mage, Kalius sensed the shaking and unease in Oxington's heart.

"What did you hear?" he asked. "What are you afraid of?"

Oxington swallowed, his face turned pale, shaken, uneasy, hesitant and even fearful... A strange fear appeared on his face.

He hesitated for a while before speaking.

"I heard Kant's thoughts and will."

The fear that haunted him for a long time did not dare to ask Kant. He wanted to tell the dragon netizen who had a good chat, and he was afraid that the other party would mistake him for not being manly. Kalios should be a good confidant.

"I'm like an ant. When I see a giant wheel rolling in front of me, it can easily crush me to pieces. I'm very scared, but I'm just an ant. If I run forward, I will soon be caught up and crushed. It's too late to die, run to the left and run to the right."

"I want to dig a hole in place and bury myself in it. I don't know if I will be buried and suffocated to death."

"That feeling of watching death roll in and arrive at it..."

"Understood? I'm scared. It's not up to me to live or not, it's up to the wheel."

"It won't stop, but if it leans to the left or to the right, I have a chance of surviving, but I know it won't, because the driver of this car is an experienced driver, and it's going to be straight Go forward, he won't take a detour when it comes to crushing me."

When Karius heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Aren't you dead?"

"Do not."

Oxington whispered: "I originally thought so, but then I realized that there is no need to dig to hide, and there is no need to expect the car to change its mind, there is actually a way to survive."

"any solution?"

"That's what I heard."

"As the car approached, I heard someone shouting from the car."

Oxington whispered: "He shouted - get in the car!"

This seems to be an obscure allegory, but as the great man of the council, Carius, who was once regarded by Griffin as his successor, is not difficult to understand.

He thought thoughtfully: "Are you going to get in the car?"

"Free tickets, or charity tickets," Oaksington said with a wry smile, "I don't accept passengers with too much personal luggage... Some things, how can you just throw them away?"

The temporary grand speaker leaned back into the comfortable backrest: "So, what are you going to do?"

Before Oxington could answer, there was a quick knock on the door from outside.

The secretary brought in new information.

Callius took a few glances and handed it to Oxington: "Goethe's response."

The executive took a few glances and said in amazement, "What kind of trick is this?"

"Five minutes ago, Goethe Grand Duke Reknos summoned the envoys and nobles of various countries and reiterated Goethe's position and proposition. He said that Duke Kant was Goethe's unquestionable benefactor and ally, and he would never believe that Griffin would Duke Kant's allegations, and firmly oppose any slander and humiliation directed against Duke Kant."

"At the same time, he opposed the use of war to solve the problem, and called on both sides to be calm and restrained, but if Griffin insists on igniting the war, or even imposes the war on Goethe again, the Goethes will never yield."

"And he called on all Goethes to take up arms and prepare to protect their homeland again, to drive out all the invaders, and make them pay the most painful and heavy price..."

In Chaosheng Manor, everyone's expressions were a little subtle after listening to Ah Fu read the statement of Archduke Goethe.

"He's crazy...he's not sober."

Nishias said coldly, "When is it time to make grass on the wall?"

Tina's face was sinking and she didn't say a word.

It is about Princess Tina's father, the topic is delicate, and it is difficult for outsiders to talk about it. Hong San glanced at the master and said first: "It is true that this statement seems extremely unwise, saying that it supports us, but the attitude is not firm, and it is far away. On the premise that Hong Kong has declared war, it still calls for a peaceful solution..."

Tina interrupted him and said coldly: "Don't pay attention to the diplomatic rhetoric. The most important thing is whether there is a conspiracy in private, and you must be prepared."

Kant said lightly: "Don't think too much... From now on, ignore any official statements and rhetoric of Goethe, just watch what they do. Take 'all Goethe people have decided to conspire to betray us' as the premise, and on this basis Carry out corresponding work and actions, and notify all ministries.”

A Fu's eyes flickered with electrons, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Kant thought for a while, and then said: "The Grand Duke has made a statement, and Griffin should have a speech, as well as the mainland countries, do their messengers pass on any news?"

"Just now, almost simultaneously."

Alfred checked the communication system and concluded: "The nations headed by Dusk Moon and the Empire are calling for restraint on both sides. His Majesty the Emperor proposes to start negotiations, and invites you and Griffin Williams and the people related to the Southern Council. He came to the imperial court to confront each other, and he invited the Phoenix King and the Dragon Emperor to preside over this meeting together by the three emperors, and the kings of all countries can come and listen."

"Tell him it's **** hard to talk about."

Kant said coldly: "If you want to slow down the force field, just say it directly, you don't have to be around the corner to hook up with Griffin, you don't even fight, talk about a fart - when I grab Griffin, hang him up and let him bleed, I will invite He went to the far port to watch the ceremony, and gave him a good first row seat...that's what he replied."

The parrot, who had been writing and drawing on the paper, said without raising his head, "It's so crazy here, it's easy to have no friends."

"If you win, you will have friends, and you will have dogs."

Kant said to Alfred: "Remember, those who go to Griffin, those who are idle, and those who cheer with the Empire together, the list is all listed, and there will be time to let their blood be released in the future."

Ah Fu waved his fist: "Okay! It's all written down in the notebook!"

"Then everyone, let's face the war... Victory is easy, but after the war is the real war. Split the council, support the north, facilitate the confrontation between the north and the south, and take over the Goethe regime. There are still many things to do." Kant said solemnly, "After this war... we will become a new power."

Half an hour after Archduke Goethe's statement, Griffin officially issued the war call.

"Goethe was either on our side, or on Kant's side."

The army that had been mobilized and prepared in advance immediately set off, the advance team had already set off, and the huge deceleration mechanisms had been motorized, escorted by the army, and hidden in many decoys, true and false.

Griffin has been preparing for this war for a long time.

The backbone of the army and the elite forces are all the layout of the Star Palace in the council. With them as the foundation, supplemented by the army from the north, this is a powerful force.

In the previous propaganda war, Griffin learned a lot of skills from Kant. These skills are ridiculous and generous to deal with Far Harbor, but they are still useful in dealing with Goethe.

Huge amount of leaflets, rumors everywhere, brought Griffin's ultimatum.

"—The council regrets the folly of Archduke Reknos."

Griffin still calls himself the Grand Speaker.

"But there is no need for the Gothic people to get involved in the war for the stupid orders of the Archduke, and Teldaril, who is in sympathy with Kant, has no right to rule this country. The iron hoof of the council will sweep Goethe, but the cities that have declared their independence from Teldaril's rule will not be affected. Injuries, any noble who is willing to uphold justice and protect the commoners can step forward and control the city, and he will become the new owner of the city without a doubt."

"The Council will give the greatest support to these brave people, whether it is self-reliance, obtaining a title that matches their righteous deeds, or even leaving this country full of lies and going to a beautiful empire, the Council is also willing to help lead the way. Contact... as long as the right choices are made."

In the mobile tent of the march, Griffin pointed to the map and explained to Phaethon.

"To split Goethe, to make Kant completely detached from this country, and make it difficult for him to grasp the power of this country in the future... This is also the common demand of all countries, and he cannot be given a chance to become stronger."

Faersson was skeptical: "What's the point of this? No matter how many ants there are, they are still ants."

"Trust our judgment, once Kant extends the Far Harbor model to the entire Goethe, he will liberate a huge force that is more than the empire, and the entire continent will be swept and conquered by him. In such a virtuous cycle, the entire continent will be There was tremendous power in his hands."

Hearing this explanation, the God of Star Palace was alert: "Then do it! Never let this happen!"

Griffin glanced at him calmly.

"We will enter the territory of Goethe...Choose this city for the first battle, Gnar."

"Kant won't sit back and watch us slaughter in Goethe territory. If he does, it will completely drain his prestige and make the Goethes no longer trust and support him... So the first battle will be here."

"Observers from all countries will come here. We want to prove to them that Kant's alchemy weapons and forbidden spells are not enough to fear... So understand, this battle is very important."

Persuaded, Phaeson asked, "Tell me what you want."

"I haven't officially fought yet. Although I already have a general policy against the enemy, it depends on the development of the battle." Griffin said, "But in military warfare, logistics is the most important thing. The army is protected by a deceleration force field. Logistical transport is a bit risky, and if you can, I hope you can support us with better space teleportation technology ... or better agricultural technology that is adapted to local conditions and quickly acquired."

He made a list: "Your accumulation and wisdom are far better than ours. With some support, the road against Kant can go further... Agricultural technology, manufacturing technology, military technology, magic mystery, life mystery, alchemy and military science , we can give us anything we want."

"Rapid, effective, massive, from technology to weapons, what we want."

Griffin said sincerely: "All this is to fight against Kant, please decide for yourself."
