Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

At the central island’s observatory, Kant was giving orders to the fleet through a video conference.

“In the entire rejection and expulsion operation, we have to be reasonable!”

” In other words, we will not fire the first shot!”

” To be more specific, the rule of action is to be prepared to fire the first shot against the enemy. Be prepared to counterattack while defending absolutely, and not give the enemy a chance to fire a second shot. On the basis of these two, use all methods, means, and strategies to force or induce the enemy to fire the first shot!

” All the details of the operation will be recorded by the camera and used as material for future verbal battles and publicity. We can’t do anything overbearing because Far Harbor needs to unite people of insight from all over the world. We have to always stand on the side of justice. The moral high ground is very useful, especially when the advanced media and propaganda power are in our hands…Alright, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just follow my orders!”

” I’ve calculated that the Azure Fleet will probably use a shameless tactic, which is to shamelessly disperse their forces and barge into the broken sea to collect our spoils of war. Their fleet is huge, and they have many ships. But it doesn’t matter. Data links, air-sea integration, and hyperspace mobility are the more powerful ones!”

” Now, Horus will rush to every warship and install high-pressure water cannons for you…”

At this moment, Ah Fu’s voice sounded in the communication channel.

“Father.” When it came to the war, Fu’s gentle voice became serious and sharp.” The Azure Fleet has responded. They have soldiers missing in the broken sea and are requesting to enter the search.”

“..”

Kant was stunned for a moment.” Horus,” he said, turning his head.” Upgrade your firepower. Get ready for a full-coverage saturated cannon.”

– Huh?

The captains were all stunned. Just a second ago, they were still saying that they had to restrain themselves, have reason and evidence, and occupy the moral high ground. What was going on? Why was he suddenly angry?

Above the surging blue sea, when the special agent’s words drifted across the sea, the entire sea area became silent. The special envoy from Turashya smiled and said,” Well, at least we have a reasonable excuse for action. Even if it’s a dispute that has escalated to the diplomatic level, we have a reason and excuse to quarrel.”

He waved his hand and said,” Now, let the ships prepare to move. We must be quick, decisive, and thick-skinned. This is not a combat mission, but an opportunity to plunder treasures and harvest wealth. We…”

Thunder came from the sea.

Fierce flames rose from the shattered sea area. Smoke filled the sky in the distance. The whistling sound came closer from afar. A huge water pillar exploded on the sea, and the blazing storm pushed the cold water mist towards them!

The spaceships that had scattered all cried out in alarm!

Rockets rained down from the firing stations on the three islands, and a continuous stream of meteors swept across. Thick smoke with the smell of sulfur spread out, as if it was a fiery arrow from hell. The messenger of death and burning blew up a continuous stream of water on the sea.

“In the sky!”

The screams made the sailors of the Azure Fleet look up at the sky. The three large aircraft hovering in the sky turned around and aimed their bellies at the sea!

The Hawkeye officers could clearly see a large number of thick metal tubes extending from the portholes of the aircraft.

Flames spewed out and smoke exploded!

The flowers of death poured down from the sky, and bullets exploded near the Azure Fleet. The water splashed, and the waves surged. The terrifying momentum shocked the frightened sailors. Death was close at hand!

If multiple howitzers were installed on a passenger airliner and fired, the terrifying recoil would only cause the entire plane to fall apart on the spot. However, if the howitzers were installed in the white fog world, it would be a different story.

Although Horus was still thinking about how to modify the large passenger aircraft in the White Fog World into a vanguard gunboat, and the final product was still far away, it did not stop Kant from simulating such an attack effect with his dimensional skill. What was the point of asking that? Of course, it was strategic misdirection and intimidation!

Anyway, these people from the other world did not know.

Star Wars Plan.jpg

The soldiers of the Azure Fleet did not know! All they knew was that in the blink of an eye, the calm sky had let out a violent roar. Smoke rose everywhere, and the waves surged into the sky. The Broken Islands shot out continuous flames and lightning-like beams, setting off raging waves on the sea. A huge aircraft that looked like an ancient divine beast flew past the sky, roaring and pouring down a rain of death light. This earth-shaking and terrifying sound announced one thing to the soldiers who had trespassed into the Broken Sea.

They had entered Kant’s domain.

The Arcane Magic Council’s main fleet immediately responded to the attack.

The well-trained and battle-seasoned marines immediately shouted and entered their battle positions. Their magic cores were running at full power, and their Elemental Directional Shields were activated. The ballista team changed their interception warheads, and the magic devices on the ship set up counterattacks. The mages were guiding them to lock onto the aircraft in the sky with their spiritual power and prepare to set up attack beacons!

In the battlefield, which was in order amidst the chaos and the gunners were in position, the flagship roared in exasperation.

“Retaliation is prohibited! Retaliation is prohibited!”

“All ships are prohibited from attacking without permission! Attacking without permission is prohibited! Hurry up and give the order! This was not an official attack! We can’t attack first!”

What a joke!

If both sides were to officially enter a war, Kant would not engage in long-range fire with the Azure Fleet. One of his Forbidden Spells would be enough to resolve all problems!

He used the amplification circle to initiate a new conversation with the Astolford.

“This is the Azure Fleet! We have no intention of provoking a dispute, but any inappropriate hostile behavior will lead to the outbreak of war. Please be aware! Please stop this reckless attack immediately!”

A moment later, a cold voice came from the sea.

” Azure Fleet, we are currently conducting a drill in the legal territorial waters of His Highness Kant. Our routine drill is designed to train the fleet’s rapid response and regional rejection capabilities. It has nothing to do with any war operations. We advise your personnel to immediately leave the broken sea to avoid inevitable collateral damage. Otherwise, we will not be responsible for any losses or casualties on your side…”

The special agent was so angry that his face turned red.

” Your Highness Kant has already considered this problem.”

” We don’t know where your missing soldiers are drifting,” the voice said indifferently.” So we will use concentrated firepower to plow the entire sea area. As long as we kill them, you don’t have to come in and look for them.”

Before he finished speaking, the broadcast was replaced by another voice.

“Cowards of the council! If you want to come in and cause trouble, just come directly! Let’s fight here!”

“If you don’t dare to make a move, you’re f * cking sea dogs!”

” Come, come, I’m going to get all the power armor modifications today!”

All kinds of mockery and provocation rang out continuously. There were insults, teasing, mocking, and cursing. Every sentence was like a powerful slap on the special agent’s handsome face. He faced the sea breeze, his expression uncertain. He gritted his teeth, and his anger was enough to evaporate the ocean.

In the end, all the voices turned indifferent.

” I am Kant.” The voice said,” The fleet’s soldiers are missing and want to enter and search. I will kill whoever comes up with this excuse, no matter who it is.”

Her flushed face instantly turned pale.

This was the ultimatum of the Skyquaking Dragon.

He stood at the bow of the ship, furious from being insulted and angry from failing his plan. All of this instantly turned into the fear of death. The surrounding officers had strange expressions as they looked at him with complicated and inexplicable gazes.

His gaze was filled with pity.

It was as if he was looking at a dead man.

A powerful fleet, a strong background, and extreme self-confidence had all turned into water in the mirror at this moment.

With Kant’s declaration of death, all of this was nothing.

The explosions of artillery shells and rockets still hadn’t dissipated. The sky was shaking with the roar of the aircraft engine. The trembling of the fleet’s elemental energy flow was endless. However, the special agent only felt that the world was silent. He looked around and looked at the officers and soldiers with inexplicable expressions. He slowly opened his mouth and smiled.

“.. Advance.” He repeated,” Double the reward. Begin the mission.”

The officers who had been extremely enthusiastic about him didn’t move.

The special agent looked left and right in a daze and immediately shouted,”Go!”

“.. This could lead to war, you heard it.” After a long while, an officer said slowly,” I’m afraid they won’t be willing to risk their lives to enter the sea.”

No matter how much money he had, he had to be alive to enjoy it.

The special agent saw rejection in everyone’s eyes. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he even saw mockery. The fear of death made him tremble in fear, and even rage. Why? Why do you want to kill me? Why was he so unyielding? Why did he have such an attitude of not hesitating to fight?

The confidence that he had gained from his orders and the pride that he had gained from seizing power had completely dissipated. He might have been able to drive the officers and soldiers of the fleet to pursue profits in the name of the council and the heavy rewards, but the one who truly had the absolute authority over the fleet was still the woman in the captain’s cabin.

However, if he were to ask the other party to give the order to march now, he would definitely not succeed.

I have to think of a way, I have to think of a way…

I can’t die. I can’t be killed by Kant. I have to run, run…

He thought of the Teleportation Portal that had already been assembled.

.. No, I can’t escape. Even if I escape, it’s no different from death. The council won’t let me off.

I have to complete the mission perfectly in order for the council to protect me.

However, these damned soldiers refused to obey orders. Only Nicias could make them obey…

And Nicias would never help me.

Damn it, how can I make her cooperate with me? Who could order her to go against her heart? Council? No, I’m afraid she’s not the kind of person who’s blindly loyal. Then…

Nicias’s background surfaced in his mind, and he suddenly looked up.

There it is!

He quickly rushed back to his room and took out the magic device that could communicate remotely through elemental resonance. He took a deep breath and began to write.

He first greeted the members of parliament and then got down to business.

” Due to the Azure Fleet’s inappropriate and rash actions, it has caused a strong reaction from the Broken Islands…”

” Although I used the Council’s spiritual appeal and material rewards to convince the soldiers to serve justice and righteousness, the high-ranking officers still have doubts. They seem to have a good personal relationship with Kant. This should be related to the rescue during the Battle of the Broken Islands. I heard that Kant provided a large amount of resources to the Azure Fleet unconditionally at that time, and they are investigating if there were any private transactions or agreements…”

” Although I’ve taken over the command, Commander Nicias has been staying in seclusion and has adopted a passive attitude…I don’t know if the high-ranking officers have been privately authorized, but they strictly restrict the soldiers from acting on their own. The high-ranking officers ‘ability to restrict the entire fleet and their prestige are too strong, so the soldiers are determined to serve their country, but they still don’t dare to act on their own. After all, the military law is strict.”

” However, all investigations can only be carried out in private. After all, you have repeatedly instructed me to break Kant’s monopoly and obtain the unknown substance. The mission is the most important. I chose to endure the humiliation from the officers of the Azure Fleet and did not openly question their integrity and loyalty. However, what worries me is that I am unable to convey the will of the council to the entire fleet and order them.”

” The supreme authority of this fleet is still in the hands of Commander Nicias.”

” She was very resistant to the council’s orders and refused to send a fleet into the Broken Seas. When I questioned whether her negative attitude had anything to do with her personal relationship with Kant, she reacted extremely violently and even issued a vague death threat to me. I think that if I want the fleet to carry out the mission, I have to change her attitude. She disdains the council’s orders, so I can’t make her cooperate. For this, I request the assistance of my esteemed sirs.”

“I need someone who can convince her.”

When he wrote up to this point, he looked at the gradually disappearing words on the crystal board and smiled.

Yes, I will complete the mission.

I was the only one who could obtain the precious materials that fell into the broken sea for the lords of the council and shatter Kant’s ambitions. The Azure Fleet was just a chess piece.

I’m the one playing chess.

The councilmen will praise me.

Broken Islands.

“They were frightened!”

The navy celebrated happily.” These cowards!” Quillon laughed. They must have been frightened! Look at them, they don’t even dare to fight back!”

Kant sat on the chair with his legs crossed.” We can’t let our guard down,” he said.” After all, it’s getting dark.”

It was already 5:15 local time. The sun was setting and night was coming. If these shameless people came in to steal things in the dark, it would be difficult to prevent them.

“They have to dare to come in.”

” Don’t worry,” the elf commander said with a smile.” We’re better at night battles than they are.”

Because the Arcane Magic Council was involved, the Azure Fleet of the Combined Fleet was ordered to retreat. Most of the officers present were burly elves, and each of them revealed a creepy smile.

” The night is dark and the wind is strong,” said Quillion darkly.” No one will know if the boat sank or the people drowned.”

Kant shook his head.” The soldiers are innocent. Don’t shout and kill all day long. They are too vicious. Just capture them and send them to the island to be mined.”

” That’s right,” Horus interrupted.” Father still wants to hook up with that beautiful admiral.”

” What nonsense!” Kant snapped.

A whistle sounded, and the elves burst into laughter. Quillion was the closest to Kant. He approached him mysteriously and blinked.” Your Highness, a power armor. I will keep this secret for you. Even if Her Majesty the Queen asks, I will never betray you.”

Kant kicked him.

“Oh right, Father.”

” There’s an inquiry from Tidal Manor,” Horus said.” They’re asking about the situation. Also, Princess Tina asked if you’re going back for dinner tonight.”

The whistle sounded again, and the elves ‘smiles became even more strange.

They thought of the toast that day.

Ah, my dear lord, do not ask why we are smiling, we have thought of something happy, our wives and lovers have not met.

That night at eight o’clock.

“F * ck, every meal has become torture.”

In the R & D laboratory, Kant and the parrot were eating ice cream after taking a shower. As they ate, they sighed.” The people I eat with are all beautiful girls. Everyone is super good-looking, treats me super well, and smiles super sweetly. Why do I always feel uncomfortable…”

The parrot thought for a moment and replied,” I read a solution in a book. It seems that many winners in life use this method to solve this problem.”

Kant’s expression changed.” F * ck. Do you elves have such examples?” Tell me.”

“It’s very difficult for you,” said the parrot seriously.

“How did you do it?”

” Let’s put them all on the same bed for the whole night,” Marykith said, raising a finger.” We’ll have a good time. The next day, they’ll be able to forget all their past grudges and become good sisters.”

“Huh?”Kant looked puzzled. This sounds a little familiar…”

It wasn’t until he saw the smirk on the parrot’s face that he came back to his senses.” This is from a fucking novella!” he exclaimed. You even f * cking read it from a book? Are you talking about your horse?!”

” That’s what I read in a book!” Marykith said proudly.

“.. Forget it, forget it.”

Kant pointed at the stack of documents on the table.” Do you have any idea about those abilities?” How should we train them?”

The parrot poured all the ice cream in the small bowl into its mouth. It chewed a few times and mumbled,” The supernatural beings in your ball are all quite interesting. I mean, the form of awakening.”

“What do you mean?”

Marygis swallowed the ice cream and exhaled comfortably.” It’s just like when this era just began. The supernatural beings awakened their own indescribable mysterious powers. At first, it was a mythical era like the legends of totems. Later, they gradually summarized the rules, developed techniques, and established inheritances. Obviously, the supernatural beings in your world are still very primitive, but the path of evolution is very different from here.”

” That’s right.” Kant nodded.” After all, there’s the interference and guidance of the country’s power.”

The parrot frowned as if she had thought of something. Then, she shook her head.” There’s not enough information. If you can get your hands on other supernatural beings ‘information in the future, it would be best if you could get an entire archive. Bring it to me for me to take a look.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m a little curious. Your ball’s spiritual energy recovery came so suddenly, but according to what you said, extraordinary powers have been hidden since ancient times…Then why did it exist in the past, why did it disappear, and why did it appear again now? This makes me very curious.” The parrot thought for a moment.” That doesn’t make sense.”

“Then I’ll ask when I have time.” Kant continued,” What about the training plans for these people?”

Parrot said in disdain,” A basic Spellblade training course is enough for them to use for a long time. Moreover, you have the support of technology to strengthen it, so you don’t have to cover everything. I’ll delete the important core training programs and remove those systematic and standardized things so that your country won’t find anything wrong. The rest of the broadcast gymnastics can be given to them to do. Let’s see how it goes.”

“Alright.”

“When are you going back to Earth?”

“Ah?”

” What ‘ah’? Hurry up and go back to buy some. Don’t let the council start digging your equipment and it’s still not in place. Also, your navy is too lousy. Go to Earth and buy a few supertankers to support the situation.”

Kant said,” The council has a lot of tricks up their sleeves. I’ll wait here for a night. As for the submarine, Ah Fu’s sonar is keeping an eye on it. At most, they won’t even know that I’m the one who shot it down with a deep-diving rocket.”

The parrot rolled its eyes at him.” What? Does the old master still want to spend the night here?”

” That’s not impossible,” Kant said happily.” I haven’t slept with you in a long time.”

“Get lost!”

Broken Sea Area.

It was late at night, and the Azure Fleet was in an awkward position. The soldiers were unwilling to risk entering the sea to carry out salvage work, but they could not directly resist the orders from the council. All of this had nothing to do with Nisyas. She had already relinquished her command and was locked in her room.

The commander lay on the bed in boredom, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Her gem-like red eyes rippled with the glow of the magic crystal lamp, and her untied blue curly hair spread out on the white pillow. She slowly stretched out her hand and looked at her slightly rough palm. There were thin calluses, which were the characteristics of holding the staff for a long time. Since she was young, she had followed the path of arcane magic, joined the council, and accumulated military merits. What was her purpose?

The orders the Azure Fleet had received earlier had already made her feel resentful towards the Council. What happened today made her feel even more uneasy. The bright and noble Council in her memory seemed to have become a stranger. She could not help but think of the joke she had made with Kant.

Far Harbor…

Immediately, she was amused by her own thoughts.

Just give up like this?

Father would be very disappointed…He…

Nicias sighed as she thought of this.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

The commander’s eyes were sharp. She waved her hand, and the staff at the head of the bed flew over. She put on her boots, tied her long hair, put on her coat, and looked around in the mirror. She regained her stern posture as a captain.” Who is it?”

“Commander,” the special agent’s voice sounded outside the door.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

Nicias sneered in her heart.” It’s late at night. If there’s nothing important, please leave. If there’s something important, please gather the fleet officers. We’ll talk in the conference room.”

It’s an important matter, but there’s no need to gather the officers.”

” I’ve brought a gentleman with me,” the special agent said with a smile.” You’ll definitely meet him.”

Then, a deep voice came from outside the door.

Nicias ‘body trembled, and she revealed a look of disbelief.

She quickly stepped forward and opened the door. Looking at the familiar face outside, she whispered,”Father…”

[PS 1: 6,000 words…] Damn, I overslept today.

P.S.2: Well, the main problem with my sleep is not that I have difficulty falling asleep, but that I sleep too little. I’ve only slept for less than seven hours these days. I’m the kind of person who needs more than eight hours of sleep. If I don’t sleep for eight hours, it means that I’m not energetic, my brain is dizzy, and I’m covered in cold sweat. I’ve mentioned this many times in the book.

” P.S. 3: I fell asleep at 9 o’clock last night and woke up at 3 o’clock. But I was too sleepy the past few days. Today, I made up my mind not to get up until I slept enough. I rolled around in bed until 6 o’clock and then fell asleep. And I slept until 90 o’clock. Good heavens, you won’t sleep until dawn…”

” That’s about it. I’ll try again tonight to see if that’s the case. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll have to wake up at three o’clock in the evening and finish typing before going to bed…” (Spreading his hands)
