Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 608: 608
 

A Genius ‘Plan

Mount Luo on the east side of the central island was the seventh largest island in the Broken Sea Region.

If the central island represented power, desire, and the core, Argent Island represented prosperity and enjoyment, and Luoshan Island contained the glory of humanity and academia.

There were a total of five top universities here, including the famous Ark School of Construction, Gestalt University of Mechanical Engineering, Chimera Sky College, Norton Marine College, and Hill Business School.

Due to the geographical location of the Broken Islands, their founding strategy, and their secret mission, the island masters attached great importance to coastal defense, architecture, maritime affairs, and commerce. They continuously invested heavily, accumulated business, and recruited talents. Finally, they gathered and built five world-class universities. Luo Shan became one of the world’s famous academic holy lands, and there were countless related research facilities and research companies on the island.

However, the island’s abundant research resources, students, and instructors had been mostly taken away by Kant’s threat of war and the evacuation of the overseas Chinese.

After all, there were quite a few foreign companies in the city. There were also many international students from all over the world. Their mentors were also hired from all over the world. When they heard that Kant’s forbidden spell was coming, their own warships would stop here to evacuate the citizens. This was a serious matter, so there was no reason for them not to run.

The people who stayed here for various reasons were immediately met with this terrifying and strange deep-sea disaster. Terrifying monsters swept in and attacked, and it was simply an academic disaster.

Fortunately, due to the nature of the island’s scientific research, the island’s magical engineering level was relatively high. There were countless prototype concept machines, and security was equally important. Moreover, because it was relatively close to the central island, the long-range firepower of the large platform could barely extend over, which was why it could barely hold off the sea monsters until now.

This was also the key area of the rescue operation.

The Sky College, which stood at the peak of Mount Luo, was the evacuation point to the central island. The line of defense shrank step by step, and the survivors on the island rushed to the Sky College. That was the only place where they could survive.

Hot air balloons flew back and forth between the two islands, transporting the survivors in batches.

Many hot air balloons and operators were teachers and students of the Sky College. This was their research direction and a popular profession because the island owners attached great importance to the power of the sky. In a rich place like the Broken Islands, which was isolated overseas and had no strategic depth to speak of, the power of the sea was not enough to provide complete protection.

In fact, when the situation was extremely serious, some teachers and students of the Sky College had already fled to the central island with small flying devices such as alchemical gliders and magic-guided hot air balloons.

Through the Hawkeye Array and the Atmospheric Perspective Mirror, they saw that the entire sea area was being invaded by terrifying monsters. Only in the direction of the central island, Kant’s army had miraculously built a shocking steel fortress in a short period of time and launched devastating artillery attacks on the monsters that tried to land.

After rescuing the first batch of escapees, the large platform base launched a rescue operation to Luoshan Island.

On the Sky College’s Astrologer’s rooftop, five Warriors of Destruction and 50 soldiers of the Combined Fleet were maintaining order at the evacuation point. The chaotic crowd formed a long line and stretched their necks, looking at the magic device that was coming over the sea. The loudspeaker placed at the side was repeating the pre-recorded words.

“Maintain order!”

“Men and women!”

“The operators of the two coastal fortresses of Luoshan Island can board the hot air balloon first! This is your reward for stopping the attack earlier! His Highness Kant has already promised!”

“Those who have the aptitude to cast spells and experience in operating magic devices can be saved first! The premise is that you must promise to be the pilot of the hot air balloon and participate in the rescue work!”

“Everyone else, line up to register! Weight measurement! Create a file!”

“You are not allowed to bring luggage or belongings!”

“People with combat experience…”

In the two long lines, there were the cries of children, the sobs of women, and whispers. In the female line, there was the sound of chacha chacha.

” You heard it. You’re not allowed to bring your luggage. I told you, packing is a waste of time!”

In this group of women, there were two dignified and beautiful ladies who were extremely eye-catching. Even in the midst of the invasion of sea monsters and danger, their figures still attracted the attention of many people. One in front and one behind, they wore white professor robes with gold and silver borders and looked very young.

The girl with chestnut-colored hair poked her companion in front of her and whispered,” Look at those iron cans. I think you’d better throw that box away now, lest they get angry.”

The girl in front of him was slender but straight. Her mouth was slightly pursed, and her expression was serious. She looked around like a vigilant deer. She held a big suitcase in front of her chest with difficulty. She tilted her head slightly, and her long gray hair swayed gently. She said righteously,” I won’t!”

Her companion sighed and wanted to persuade her again, but she heard a fierce argument.

” I am Ron Wayner Giggles, a noble from the Gerner Duchy in the eastern border of the Empire. This is my seal and family crest. Many people here can prove my identity. I am the son of Marquis Wall, the viscount of Tibri and Nunn. Your Excellency, I request the same treatment as my status. Please allow me and my six attendants to board the hot air balloon first.”

They stuck their heads out and saw that a few people had just walked straight to the registration point. A luxuriously dressed noble put down the handkerchief covering his mouth and nose and made a negotiation with a warrior of destruction with a pleasant expression.

“Ah, it’s him.”

“This arrogant guy actually didn’t let his lackey pass on the message,”the chestnut-haired girl said in a low voice.

Arrogant Rooster looked at people with disdain and disdainful eyes all day long. It was said that he never spoke to non-nobles. When he had to communicate with the ” commoners,” he would often let his lackeys do it for him. The noble Lord Ron stood to the side, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. His expression was reserved, and his gaze was arrogant.

The reason why the Broken Islands were sh * t was because of the power and wealth that allowed him to thrive here. Even if in the eyes of the island masters, he was just a leek that was growing vigorously and had a pleasant regenerative ability, the island masters were willing to provide some convenience for the growth of high-level leeks, right?

The girl holding the box did not speak. Her eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Viscount Ron continued,” Of course, I’m not a stubborn person who doesn’t know how to adapt. I won’t ask for individual treatment. I will allow other well-educated ladies to board the hot air balloon with me.”

He turned his head, his standard aristocratic smile revealing a scrutinizing look.

Some of the women who heard this were tempted.

” In the name of my father, His Highness Kant’s respect and courtesy will earn Guigots ‘friendship. Apart from that, I will also offer him sufficient rewards to thank him for his help…”

The Warrior of Destruction looked at his companion. He seemed to be unable to make up his mind. He thought for a moment and said to Viscount Ron,” I need to ask for permission.”

The viscount smiled and made a gesture of ‘please’ before gracefully taking two steps back. Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief and covered his nose with his handkerchief again.

The negotiation work had always been carried out by his clever followers, but now was a critical moment. The armor of these ” warriors of destruction ” was obviously an extremely expensive magic armor. Even the imperial guards of the emperor might not have such luxurious equipment. He felt that these warriors ‘identities were difficult to predict. To be safe, he could only suppress his mysophobia and disgust and personally go into battle. Oh gods, the smell of sulfur on their bodies was really unpleasant.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

He felt that the overall situation had been set, and he could not help but feel excited. He immediately followed the line of women as if he was choosing a concubine, looking for any beauty that he had not discovered.

In the end, his footsteps stopped in front of the two beauties. They were old acquaintances. Although they were eccentric and sharp-tongued, they were truly beautiful.

” Ah, what a pleasant surprise. Professor Shirley, Professor Lysalyn.” He bowed elegantly.” May I have the honor of escaping from a terrible crisis with two great scholars?”

He smiled subtly and glanced at the gray-haired girl. He saw the box that Professor Shirley was hugging tightly. He keenly discovered the mystery of the box from the rumors and work of the girl. Luggages are not allowed, but a noble like me can receive courtesy and preferential treatment. I can make an exception so that a beautiful lady can bring her precious personal belongings…”

The gray-haired girl was stunned on the spot. She was silent for a few seconds, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

” I’m sorry.” He turned around and said to his companion,” Lysalyn, do you mind helping me carry my suitcase?”

“Huh?” The girl behind him was dumbfounded.

Shirley said calmly,” Don’t worry. You don’t have to worry about me. It’s fine for me to sit alone in the public cabin. We’ll meet at the central island. Oh, if you can’t walk or don’t want to see me for the time being because of shame, you can bring this suitcase with you for the time being…”

“Wait a minute!” Who wants to leave with him! What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

The gray-haired girl widened her eyes slightly.

“What are you talking about?!” The other party became even angrier.

Shirley took a step back and said with a serious expression,” Don’t worry. Even if I’ve already had that experience, I won’t despise you because of it. Lysa, after all, it’s rare to see someone as pure and noble as me who has decided to abstain from sex for the rest of my life. Even if I think of how you were so thirsty that you slept with a stranger like a rabbit for an entire night, I won’t feel disgusted by you. I’ll still treat you as a friend.”

“Thank you so much!” The girl with chestnut-like hair roared,” I’m not!”

Viscount Ron watched all of this with a smile. Even though he was left out, it was still pleasing to the eye to see these two beauties of different temperaments talking and quarreling. Of these two young professors, one was cheerful and passionate, the other was eccentric and introverted, one was plump, and the other was slender. All true nobles wanted them.

” I’m sorry, I don’t want to interrupt your conversation, but I have to remind you that His Highness Kant will soon agree to my request. Reporting and registering is an urgent matter. You see, this place is actually not safe. Terrifying monsters can attack at any time. There are still many people waiting in front of you, so…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the voice of the Warrior of Destruction rang out.

“Viscount Ron.” He said,” His Highness ‘approval has arrived.”

The viscount was pleasantly surprised. He did not have the time to reply. Instead, he struck while the iron was hot and urged,” Listen, we are going to register now. This is a chance to leave immediately…”

“Viscount Ron?”

“Please don’t hesitate…”

“Viscount Ron?”

As the voice approached, the viscount turned his head unhappily and forced a smile. It was not wise to clash with these armored warriors at this time. He smiled and said,” I understand. Please wait a moment. I’m trying to persuade these two outstanding scholars to leave with me. After all…”

” His Highness Kant asked you to scram.”

“Alright, alright. It’ll be done soon. I’ll persuade him again…”

The voice stopped abruptly.

Lysalyn couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

The surrounding people laughed.

Viscount Ron was stunned at first, but then he finally understood what had happened. His face turned the color of a pig’s liver. He turned around abruptly, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation rose. He said angrily,” What did you say? Your Excellency! This was not the time to joke around! How could His Highness Kant treat a noble like this? If you’re deliberately teasing me, then I’ll give you a chance to apologize!”

“Alright, if you want to know His Highness’s exact words…”

The Warrior of Destruction cleared his throat.” His Highness said,’Let this queue cutting dog go to the back of the queue and eat sh * t. F * ck you. Don’t bother me with this kind of thing in the future.'”

The red goggles on the helmet of the power suit flashed.

The Warriors of Destruction wore heavy armor, and their voices could only be transmitted through the built-in speakers. The speakers were very powerful, so everyone around them heard what they said. While they were stunned, their laughter grew louder and louder. After all, it was really pleasant to see the arrogant privileged dog lose face and suffer such a loss.

Amid the laughter, Shirley looked at her companion.” Should I use my amazing sense of humor and genius sarcasm to mock him in the most sarcastic way?”

“You should just laugh.” Lize rolled her eyes.

Shirley thought for a moment and nodded.” Yes. After all, he’s already feeling extremely ashamed. No matter how sarcastic he is, it can’t compare to what Kant said. I have to admit that he’s better at this. I’m starting to have a good impression of the people of Aurora.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Viscount Ron and said,”Hahahahahaha.”

His voice was flat and deliberate.

” Yes,” Lysaryn whispered.” As expected, the irony is stronger this way.”

“-that’s enough!”

” I’m a noble!” Viscount Ron’s face turned red. He took a few steps back and roared,” I’m a noble! Nobles! Look at them! Even the most lowly tavern waiter can be ranked before me! Am I not as good as these lowly peasants?

I can give Kant a huge reward! And the friendship of my entire family! Are these not as valuable as the lowly lives of these peasants?”

He shouted himself hoarse and his eyes were red. Nobles had an unusually high self-esteem. They often executed commoners because of this duel, not to mention now that they had lost face in public.

“Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am?”

The Warrior of Destruction who was negotiating with him waved his hand behind him, indicating that the registration work should continue. There was already a hot air balloon coming from the sea. Then he said to the noble in front of him,” Do you know who I am?”

Ron was stunned for a moment, and then he became slightly clear-headed. Was this Iron Warrior also a noble?

“You…”

“I’m from Valentan. As a warrior who volunteered to participate in the war, I witnessed the entire process of the Battle of Valentan…From the beginning to the end.”

” I once witnessed His Highness Kant defending a city wall from afar. I also saw His Highness Horus transform into a giant and leap into the city. I saw the entire city fall to the elves. I saw the rain of arrows, death and screams everywhere. I saw the Sword of Heaven falling from the sky. His Highness Kant launched a forbidden spell attack on the five Dragon Flag legions. I was also standing in the front row, listening to the speech at the Valentan National Cemetery.”

” I was recruited by Mr. Hong and joined His Highness Kant’s Guards. I learned how to use weapons and military vehicles that I had never come into contact with before. I accepted Mr. Hong’s teachings and followed him into Lucerne to protect Princess Tina.”

” After His Highness returned with a great victory, we followed him to Maple Leaf Palace. We drove away the protestors gathered in front of the palace like a herd of sheep. They were scholars, nobles, businessmen, hooligans, and citizens. I was standing in the car, operating a grenade machine gun. From above, they all looked like bugs.”

” Then, we entered Maple Leaf Palace and entered the audience hall. While His Highness Kant scolded those foolish nobles and lowly fence-sitters, I held my light machine gun and stared at the people in the hall.”

” At that time, I knew that as long as His Highness gave the order, we would beat all the nobles present, whether they were marquises, counts, viscounts, barons, or even knights, into minced meat without any hesitation.”

” At that time, I knew that after firing, even if it was a noble marquis, the scattered pieces of meat would not be any different from the cattle and sheep on the shooting range.”

” Then, we went to the Far Harbor. We established order, controlled the price of grain, and attacked the nobles who tried to harm the living and challenge His Highness’s authority. We executed them, hung their bodies, and hung them on the street lamps myself. There were fourteen nobles in total. They were no different from you.”

” In the past few months, I’ve seen the bravest nobles die in battle for Valentan. I’ve seen the most despicable peasants, cowardly and treacherous. However, there are also despicable nobles and noble civilians. If there’s one thing that Your Highness and Mr. Hong have taught us, it’s…Respect and contempt.”

” Respect life, but also despise inferior life.”

” Now, I’ll tell you who I am. I’m a warrior who fought under the same sky as His Highness Kant in Valentan, Mr. Hong San, Sir Horus, and many more sacrifices. I’m His Highness Kant’s personal guard and follower. I’m the Warrior of Destruction, and we’re the Destruction Legion. And my name is Titus.”

The other party looked at the noble in front of him and spoke in a proud and calm tone.

” A farmer’s son. He used to be an apprentice craftsman and received a few months of reserve duty training. Now, we have been given the title and armor of the Warriors of Destruction. My brothers and I will lead the allies of the coalition fleet to manage the order here and ensure that the evacuation and rescue work is carried out steadily.”

” I’ve been granted the authority to make a decision on the spot. I can do anything I think is necessary, including beating you and your lackeys into a pile of rotten meat right now. It won’t be any harder than crushing a few ants.”

Viscount Ron’s legs were already trembling.

He sensed the soul of a crazy commoner from this calm narration.

This person had gone crazy.

They were led by a bigger and more rampant madman who dared to trample on all the order in the world.

” And the reason why I didn’t do that wasn’t because you had a noble bloodline or a powerful family. It was simply because I didn’t think that you were a threat to the point where I had to destroy your physical body. This was also what His Highness Kant taught us. We have to be crueler and fiercer than our enemies, and we have to be more humane than our enemies.”

” Now, I’m warning you for the last time. Take your men and line up at the back of the line immediately.”

Viscount Ron’s body was trembling, and his face was ashen. In the end, he was dragged to the back by his followers. Titus could see the hatred in his eyes.

But it didn’t matter.

He had been targeted.

The tall warrior of destruction looked at the crowd with complicated expressions and nodded.” Please maintain order and line up properly. Everyone will be saved. His Highness Kant has joined forces with Goethe, the Empire, the elves, and the Council to launch the largest air evacuation in history. Please do not doubt that in His Highness Kant’s eyes, your lives are as precious as that noble noble.”

“Then what should we do to repay him?” someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

The Warrior of Destruction stopped and thought for a moment.” This is not something I can promise or answer. But ladies and gentlemen, based on what I’ve seen and heard during this period of time, His Highness Kant made an enemy of the elves to save Goethe, who was swaying in the flames of war. He made an enemy of the nobles of Distant Harbor to save the hungry and cold civilians.”

” In terms of benefits, what Goethe and the civilians of Distant Harbor can give him is definitely less than what the elves and Goethe nobles can give him, not to mention the hostility of the latter two…Then can you tell me what Goethe and Distant Harbor have done to repay His Highness Kant?”

“Princess Tina!”That person shouted again.

Everyone burst into laughter.

This love story was indeed a fairy tale that spread all over the world.

Titus ‘hoarse laughter came from the armor. He then said,” My answer is no. Perhaps you can’t believe that there are people in the world who would do selfless actions without asking for anything in return for a reason that is not for profit but for a more noble reason. But now, you can try to believe it.”

” I believe that there are such noble people in the world. I can guarantee that the cost of saving you from such a dangerous environment to the distant port is more than what you can earn in your entire life as a slave.”

” His Highness Kant doesn’t need you to pay this sum of money.”

“However, based on my selfishness, or rather, my request to all of you…After this battle, the Broken Islands will definitely become uninhabitable. If everyone wishes to repay His Highness Kant, then when considering your livelihood and residence in the future, please prioritize the distant port.”

“That’s it.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Suddenly, someone clapped. Well, it wasn’t suddenly someone. It was a patrolling Imperial Navy soldier. Then, everyone started clapping and cheering.

Titus returned to the registration office and heaved a sigh of relief.

A familiar voice sounded from within the armor.

“Lord Horus?”

“Don’t be nervous. It’s a special commendation. Hong San’s judgment in choosing people is indeed good. You have great potential…By the way, the entire process of your speech has been filmed. We plan to make a documentary and radio program about it. Your impromptu speech is very suitable material. I’m telling you in advance. Congratulations, Titus, you’re going to be famous.”

“What? This…”

“Don’t be shy. You didn’t show your face anyway.”

“My lord, this is exactly what I’m worried about.”

“Hey.”

The crowd in line became quiet, and the nervous atmosphere gradually dissipated. The two professors whispered to each other, and Lysalyn was obviously relieved. I suddenly feel very at ease.”

“Yes.” Shirley also agreed.” At least I can be sure that I don’t have to use my body to pay for the cost of this expensive rescue operation. I was still debating whether to use my body to protect my chastity or my body to protect the results of my research. Ah, the thought of ugly and dirty people lying naked on me makes me nauseous…”

“You’re actually thinking about this?” Lysalyn’s face turned red as she stammered.

The gray-haired girl looked pleased.” I’m lying. I should be using my research results to protect my body. Considering His Highness Kant’s outstanding alchemy attainments, outstanding speech, and kind character, I think he’s a pure researcher and a noble person who keeps his chastity like me.”

” I’ve already thought of a plan. If I’m targeted by an ugly and disgusting male who covets my body, I’ll claim that I’m His Highness Kant’s secret mistress and chief scientific research officer to scare them off…”

The chestnut-haired girl was shocked. Wait a minute! This would be the end! If His Highness Kant knew about this, he would definitely be done for! It’s easy to expose!”

” No, whether it’s out of male curiosity or out of kindness, His Highness Kant will definitely not expose me immediately, especially when he heard that a beautiful and outstanding girl claimed to be his secret mistress. No matter what, he will help me hide it for the time being and summon me later.”

At this point, Shirley flipped her hair.” When I’m summoned by His Highness Kant, I’ll expose the fact that we’re both virgins. When like-minded companions meet, they’ll definitely be extremely touched and become close friends. He’ll definitely not mind my mistake of impersonating me. Things will be easier in the future.”

Shirley nodded in satisfaction.” What a genius plan.”
