Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

292 What Is Fate?!

“Remember, you’re not allowed to speak the Elven language.”

The leading elf emphasized.

255 elite warriors stood behind him. Their weapons were different, and their armor was different. They were all human-made. Most of them were humans, and there were also many elves. Everyone had a serious and silent expression.

The Twilight Dynasty was the overlord of the world. They had to have a reason to do anything.

A few surprise attacks and massacres started by the evil and cruel Goethe army could not be better.

“I’ll reiterate the mission again. The expeditionary army won’t acknowledge this operation or your identity. You are not recruited warriors from the servant country. You’re Goethe people. You’re dissatisfied with the weakness and private peace talks between Tedrell and Kang De and are determined to pay with blood. We’ll launch a surprise and arson operation against the troops of the Savada Satellite Kingdom stationed in the Harlem City Fortress to show the courage and will of the Goethe people.”

“Therefore, you can’t be captured and there is no surrender. Death or victory are the only two paths. Those who survive will obtain what you dream of…”

“That’s the supreme praise from the Twilight Dynasty. We allow you to join this holy country and become one of us. You’re all elite warriors and have cherished families. If you die in battle heroically, your contributions and courage will benefit your family. On the other hand, if your identity is exposed and you embarrass the Twilight Dynasty, your family will also pay the most painful price.”

“Now, I order you to set off and attack at nine o’clock at night. Captains and instructors, check the time with me. Magician consultant, check the situation of the Wind Map.”

Responding, checking the time, a magic light flashed. The soldiers nervously checked their weapons.

Everything was normal.

“Activate the Wind Walk Array.”

“It’s my honor. Warriors from the servant country who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Empress, you will fight for the glory of the previous Phoenix King, Her Majesty Marge. She used her extraordinary intelligence to leave behind precious assets for the Twilight Dynasty. The Wind Map will ensure that you won’t be discovered by the enemy mages and quietly arrive at the attack location.”

The elf commander waved his hand forcefully. “Let’s go!”

The elemental light shone coldly. The soldiers embarked on the journey in silence. The commander’s gaze passed the distant soldiers and looked in Valentine’s direction. The war was about to start again. During the truce, all the hard work and preparations of the council were to deal with a mere human.

Hard work was the hard work of a tactical strategy. Preparation was the preparation of sacrifice.

“Kang De…” He said coldly, “I’m ready. We’re ready to intercept you!”

“I’m ready to intercept them.”

Kang De activated the Phoenix Vision and looked around, “I suddenly had a premonition just now. My intuition tells me that an impressive guy seems to have appeared… Moreover, he’s coming for me!”

Hong San pondered for a moment and said, “But that lord doesn’t seem to have any strange sensations…”

“Because he’s a fraud!”

Kang De rolled his eyes, but nothing happened because the golden eyes of the burning Phoenix Vision could not be blocked, “I hope he can really fight, and I hope the ugly elves who followed him are also very good at fighting. In that case, there’s no need for the gorilla to take the risk…”

“—What are you looking at? Could it be that you’re such a shallow person? Don’t you know that beauty in the heart is true beauty? Do you think there’s anything wrong with a handsome and elegant person like me calling the elves ugly? Do you think the elves are very wronged?”

“Little comrade, your thoughts are very dangerous. Aren’t you afraid that the heavens will punish you? Be careful that one day, the heavens will let you fly in ugly photos and hang you on a flagpole to drown in a feces pit.”

Under Kang De’s righteous scolding, Hong San naturally realized his mistake. He reflected on his shallowness in shame and said that His Highness Kang De was right.

“Sigh… I wonder how many will come.”

Kang De talked nonsense for a while but still sighed. His greatest fear came from the unknown. The enemy had never met him before. He did not know how strong he was or how strong his will was. This period of time was the most difficult.

He glared at Hong San again. “Speaking of which, your master hasn’t sent a letter?”

Hong San smiled bitterly, “How can it be so fast? He’s old and his legs are clumsy…”

Hundreds of kilometers away, in the Empire, the ground was riddled with holes. The soil was dark red as if this place had experienced a terrifying massacre, causing countless blood to seep into the ground.

However, there was not a corpse.

Only a flying blood fog, blood spring, and blood wave danced in the air.

With a bang, the thin figure was smashed into the ground, and blood surged like a fountain.

Immediately, the dust and smoke that splashed up were suddenly blown away. The peerless immortal with a white beard and hair rushed down from the sky with a huge wolf fang stick. The violent wind pressure even caused the ground to collapse again.

A desperate roar sounded from the sunken ground, followed by a violent impact and commotion. It was as if two ancient beasts were attacking crazily underground. The ground continuously rose and exploded, and large pieces of soil and gravel covered the sky. In the end, the white-robed, white-haired old man flew out flat. His figure was light, like an immortal or a dragon.

The dust dissipated, and the blood demon behind the little boy shattered again.

His eyes were dull, his face was pale, and he staggered. His entire body was soaked in blood, and the dense holes in his body were difficult to heal, let alone bleed.

He really did not have a single drop left.

“Our blood… even if this is a foreign land, it’s still human land.”

The old man calmly walked to the little boy called Mephit and smashed down with his mace. The other party’s strength was no longer enough to support his defense or even dodge. He was smashed to the ground.

He knelt towards the east.

This peerless minister who had experienced the fall of the sky and had once supported the afterglow of the dynasty in a desperate situation surrounded by external enemies was forced to set sail and transmigrate to the Western World. He had hated and been crazy for more than ten years and his internal organs had been burned for more than ten years. No one could say anything about this. The blood feud of that country could not be endured by the Saint.

He slowly stabbed the mace in his hand into the ground and waved.

The big green ox held a wrist sharp knife and silently handed it over.

The old man held the sharp knife in his hand and smiled, “I haven’t used it for more than ten years. I’m afraid my skills are rusty.”

He stood in front of Mephit, his expression neither happy nor angry.

It was as if he was the god who lived in the nine heavens.

The guest from outer space blinked at him. For countless years, he had been high and mighty. He had fed on blood and raised countless killing sins. After so many years, he had finally returned to being a mortal and understood the taste of fear.

He said in a trembling voice, “Don’t kill me…”

“Don’t worry, you won’t die,” the old man said gently. “I’ll let you live as long as the war lasts.”

He looked at this fertile land of blood. Every inch of it was stained with blood. “I’ve already taken it back from you, but we didn’t let you have it. Since you took it, you can’t just return it.”

He held the sharp knife and slowly said, “With the heavens as the witness and the blood soil as the mat, the vengeful spirits and heroic spirits won’t go far. There’s no spiritual sacrifice, but you can see it in the Netherworld. Your resentment can dissipate slightly…”

Mephit roared in a low voice, “Stop! I can tell you many things! And the people who came with me! I’ll tell you who they are! Aren’t you going to Valentine? Are you going to help that Cathayan? I still have two companions! We’re going to kill him! Aren’t you going to care?”

“I’m not here for him. I’m here for you. My goal has been achieved.”

The old man picked up his saber and smiled, “You’re escaping. It must be a powerful enemy pursuing you. He didn’t chase after you, so he must have chased after another and can definitely kill him. Since you’re here, there’s only one fish that escaped the net. If my disciple is willing to follow and assist someone who can’t even deal with a stray dog, they can die together… I’m not interested in the disputes of the mortal countries, and I won’t waste time on him.”

He stretched out his knife and pressed it against the other party’s chest. “I’m interested in you. After you die once, I still have something to ask you. Our days of interaction are still long.”

“Now, let me remove your Celestial Bone first.”

Mephit’s eyes widened. The knife had already landed. He had originally thought that this trip to the lower realm was fun. Unexpectedly, he had not even seen the main character and had already fallen to such a final outcome. He was afraid and angry. The anger in his heart was indescribable. He roared at the sky and said with a vicious expression, “Monty…”

One had to admit that the minds of some guys who were used to being high and mighty were usually very strange… The three visitors from outer space had a tacit understanding and each had their own thoughts.

Although they came from the same place and belonged to the same leader, their respective fate experiences and environment determined their cold nature and treated other intelligent living beings as ants.

This cruelty and coldness most likely meant that his empathy ability was extremely low. Since his personality was sinister and selfish, how could he live and die with his companions at a critical moment?

Therefore, even if there was only one powerful enemy and they could win and kill him at a certain price, they still dispersed and went their separate ways, choosing to escape extremely dishonorably.

This was because none of them wanted to become the sacrifice.

Therefore, they instantly tacitly decided to escape separately. The three escape routes were 120 degrees from each other at the point of origin to ensure that everyone’s chances were equal…

“Equal my ass!”

Monty ran the fastest. In the situation of transforming into Wind Devour, he had a speed that far exceeded the two of them. Under such circumstances, escape was the best solution for him.

“That elf has to kill Reto first… The spatial secret technique is the greatest threat and the easiest to return to the upper realm. She will definitely kill him first because she has to keep this secret!”

“Next is Mephit. This lunatic uses blood as bait and can increase his strength and recover from his injuries in a short period of time. He will definitely kill many, many people. This elf loves to be nosy. Mephit must be the second!”

“Then, I’m the last! I control the wind of heaven and earth and my speed is not much slower than hers. The wind and moon attribute can also restrain her phoenix flames to a certain extent… In that case, why don’t I run?!”

Monty muttered to himself, and a fierce glint flashed through his eyes, “With the two of them buying me time, I’ll definitely be able to find a way back. Phoenix King Marge, if we can seal you once, we can seal you a second time!”

“—The previous Phoenix King, right? Your country is fighting a small country of humans. That Cathayan instantly destroyed five armies of Twilight. The two sides are mortal enemies. If you chase after me, I’ll lure you to Valentine and let you fight first. Let’s see how you clean up!”

“Also, the previous Phoenix King has returned to the mortal world, but the throne of Twilight has already been passed down for generations. How will the current ruler treat her ancestor, who is also a king? I will also let your descendants deal with you!”

They had monitored and controlled the mortal world for a long time. Not to mention anything else, their ability to stir up trouble was top-notch. This basic operation could simply be thought of easily.

“I have to think of a way to hide my whereabouts and dodge the pursuit of the Phoenix Vision…”

Monty controlled the wind to move and looked at the unfamiliar mountains and wilderness around him. The sky gradually darkened. Unknowingly, he had already run for a long time.

“I’ll find a settlement to ask and recuperate…”

He sped up.

Not far away, the hidden rapid march was continuing. The expression of the mage sentry who was the scout suddenly changed and he shouted in a low voice, “Commander! We sensed a powerful elemental fluctuation in the southeast!”

The commander raised his hand and ordered the team to stop. His expression was unfriendly. “Are they coming for us?”

“I don’t think so!”

“Then activate the Wind Walk Array Map, hide your aura, and wait for the other party to pass… Everyone, don’t panic and maintain your restraint. The glory of the previous Phoenix King is enveloping us!”

The commander comforted his subordinates and ordered them to hide on the spot and be on guard, “Don’t worry, the Wind Walk Array Map gathered the hard work of that Phoenix King and many wise people. It will turn our aura into a light wind that will exist forever in the world. It will definitely not be easily discovered!”

A moment later, Monty, who was controlling the eternal wind in the world, whistled past.

Then, the alarm in his heart sounded.

He suddenly stopped and swept his gaze. He focused and sensed. In an instant, he discovered the wary and focused team. At the same time, the expressions of the spellcasters in the team changed drastically.

“He discovered us!”

The soldiers subconsciously prepared for battle.

Seeing this, Monty’s eyes became very, very cold.

—D*mn it! This is the Wind Spirit Array of the Phoenix King, Marge!

—You even calculated this? As expected of you! You actually set up an ambush here!

However, do you want to intercept me with just these sad and weak mud crawlers?

‘I’m not that weak!’

—You’ve miscalculated in the end! I’m not seriously injured and fleeing in a sorry state!

—Watch me crush them!

Seeing that the soldiers who were relying on the wind diagram to hide their whereabouts were about to attack, Monty roared and transformed into a violent hurricane that attacked them.

“Hostile intent determined! The other party has attacked! Start the battle!”

The commander’s expression changed drastically as he said sternly, “Shields! Up!!”

Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, arrows, and magic. Violent impacts whistled and rumbled.

Dozens of kilometers away, Sword Saint Snowfall stopped and held her sword. Her expression changed slightly, “It’s the peace talks now. Why are there experts fighting?”
