Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

298 A Little Strange

The direct distance between City H and Belgrade was more than 8,000 kilometers.

Of course, the flight route was not a straight line, but it was not much different. With the speed of the Gulfstream G650, the highest was Mach 0.925, it would take more than nine hours to reach Belgrade.

The pilot had said the same thing.

Belgrade was the first district of the East. In other words, when Kang De arrived, the local time there would probably be past nine in the evening. Then, he would take off as soon as possible and head to Africa…

Not to mention this, including the time he had wasted in City H, two hours would pass in the other world when he arrived in Belgrade…

“This definitely won’t do.”

In the white fog world, Kang De checked the mountain of gun boxes and ammunition. The few carts of firearms he had bought from Myanmar had never opened. He picked up an assault rifle and took off the clip. He glanced at the yellow and orange bullets. After putting them back, he threw this gun aside.

“Father?”

The Autobot had already heard about what had happened… on both sides.

It stood up and the mechanical parts all over its body emitted a harmonious and pleasant sound, “I’m at your disposal at any time.”

Kang De put the three imitation Type 81 Golden Triangle class machine guns aside and moved two boxes of 7.62x39mm bullets. He also took five Golden Triangle grenade launchers and three boxes of multi-purpose grenades. He looked at the remaining weapons and ammunition that had piled up into a small mountain and said, “Leave these to me. Dismantle the others.”

He raised his head and looked at his iron son, “The barrel, the firing device, the piston, the spring… Dismantle it into the state of parts and temporarily construct these weapons parts into your combat system to arm and prepare them. All the ammunition is replenished and expanded, and it’s appropriately enchanted according to your train of thought. In other words, I want you to build yourself into an armored train that’s firing from head to toe, and all the weapons and ammunition…”

Kang De raised his finger. “20 minutes, at most half an hour, is a reference for your combat strength. You have to empty all the ammunition in this period of time!”

“I understand!”

There was no need to know who the enemy was. In 20 minutes, so many weapons and ammunition had been sprinkled and emptied. What an exciting battle. The violent factor of Horus had been activated.

He said in a low voice, “I understand. Let’s turn Africa upside down!”

“Wrong!”

Kang De sneered, “These are not prepared for Africa. Without heavy firepower, the combat quality of the soldiers is worrying and is not part of the combat system at all. We don’t have to worry about the howitzers dozens of kilometers away and the missiles hundreds of kilometers away. We don’t have to worry about the military satellites in the sky or the supersonic fighter jets. The opponents we face are only battalion-level rookies, and they’re only infiltrating to save people… Is there a need to make such a big fuss?”

His gaze was cold and murderous. “These are all prepared for the elves!”

Horus seemed to understand. “Father plans to move at the same time?”

“Yes.” Kang De took a deep breath, “Both sides are anxious. Both sides have to push forward at the same time. Now, the time flow on Earth is one-seventh of that of the other world, but the elves are very likely to launch a large-scale attack today. Therefore, the two sides have to advance at the same time. We have to rush to Africa to save them. On the other side, let the gorilla and Sword Saint Snowfall set off with the spatial beacon to the Red Maple City…”

“Hong San is right. Since the elves are already prepared, there will definitely be obstructions along the way. If the elves launch a successful beheading battle, there will definitely be attacks along the way from all over. If we’re intercepted by the elf army, we have to break out as soon as possible. If necessary, we have to disperse and defeat them!”

He looked at Horus, “Although the gorilla and Sword Saint Snowfall are very powerful, we have to maintain our stamina and combat strength. The main force responsible for defeating the elves’ defense line is us!”

His iron son replied clearly, “I understand. I’ll start enchanting and weapon structure now.”

“I’ve ordered new firearms from Serbia. After fighting with these ammunitions, we’ll have even stronger and more powerful weapons. Africa is in chaos. There’s a military base of the French army in Comoros. Through Xie Ligan, we can even order new weapons from arms dealers worldwide! After all, this is Africa. We can do anything!”

Kang De’s gaze was cold, “Saving my father and giving the Elven army a huge surprise!”

“I completely understand… it’s just Father,” Horus said. “If we advance on two fronts, we’ll mainly stay on Earth. Let Lady Gorilla bring the spatial beacon to the capital, Red Maple City. If we encounter the elf army on the way, they’ll summon us to wash the ground. However, how can we contact each other across the two worlds?”

“Before this, there’s no way, but I’ve already considered it. I happened to obtain a strange power that can cross these three worlds and resonate because of the same root.”

Kang De raised his right hand and grabbed in the air. An invisible wind gathered in his hand.

The divine power extracted from Sword Saint Snowfall’s body came from the enemy from outer space.

“Go do your thing. I’ll think of a way to make two signal devices.”

A smile appeared on Kang De’s lips. When he was nervous and worried, telling a joke was helpful in relaxing his mind and increasing efficiency, “According to the routine of unscrupulous manufacturers domestically and overseas lying to ignorant old women, all high-tech health-care instruments with magical effects have to follow a naming rule, so…”

He said, “I’ll name this signal device the quantum signal generator.”

Two hours later, it was completed. Kang De, who had done some enchantment work, took the two “quantum signal generators” and reversed the flow of time to return to the other world.

The sky in the other world was already gradually brightening. When the gorilla saw him return, she was stunned, “…What’s wrong?”

Was it that obvious?

Kang De shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Nothing… Let’s do an experiment first.”

He placed a watch on the table and confirmed the time. He handed the “quantum signal generator” to the gorilla and said, “When this thing glows, remember the time. I’ll press it twice.”

He compared the watch in his hand, then activated his ability to leave, return to Earth, and press the button.

He transmigrated back to the other world.

“When did it light up?”

The gorilla reported a number—she had long known how to look at her watch.

“Very good.” Kang De calculated in his mind and clenched his fists. It was almost at the same time. In other words, without the interference of the seven-to-one time flow—could he use this principle to do more by ignoring the difference in time flow and transcending the two worlds?

However, now was not the time to think about this.

This meant that the plan could go smoothly.

“We have to move.”

He pulled the gorilla’s hand and left the room, heading to the place where Sword Saint Snowfall rested. Hillmelia was walking back and forth in the room. When she heard this, she suddenly turned around. “Can we set off?”

Kang De said, “Wait for Hong San.”

After a few minutes, Hong San rushed over and handed another large bag to Kang De, “Your Highness, stealth, killing, life detection, and shadow movement… Many non-lethal spells, as well as attack spell scrolls, various enhancement, healing potions, and many enchanted pieces of equipment, are here. You should be able to use them.”

Kang De looked at him. Hong San only smiled.

He caught the package and handed the “quantum signal generator” to the gorilla and the golden necklace.

“Keep the necklace close to you and don’t let it be broken. Listen, what I’m about to say is very important. Sword Saint, please assist her. Next, under the premise of maintaining your combat strength, you and the gorilla will advance to the capital as soon as possible. If you encounter a large-scale battle along the way or are intercepted by the enemy and have to fight, press this button first and throw this necklace into the open. Then, I’ll appear…”

When the gorilla heard this, she repeated, “When you discover the enemy, don’t alert the enemy first. Stay far away and press the button. After it glows, throw out the necklace and wait for you to come out?”

Kang De nodded and said, “Yes, that’s it!”

The gorilla thought about it a few times in her mind and nodded forcefully. “I understand!”

“…Wait, I don’t quite understand.”

Compared to the gorilla who trusted Kang De 100% and never questioned him, Sword Saint Snowfall was clearly much more confused. She said, “What do you mean? You won’t set off with us, but you’ll appear through teleportation? Then…”

Hong San glanced at Kang De and explained, “After all, in terms of personal combat strength and physical fitness, His Highness is inferior to the two of you and is not good at traveling. Moreover, it’s dangerous along the way…”

“Then he’ll stay in Valentine? What about after she and I leave? The elves…”

“…Alright, stop talking!”

Kang De suddenly shouted, scaring them. Hillmelia raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when she saw Kang De say in a low voice, “Lord Sword Saint, I’m very safe. For various reasons, it’s not convenient for me to tell you what happened and what I’m prepared to do, but I have to say that if we follow my plan, we have a high chance of saving Tina, the Tedrell family, and even this country! Do you understand?”

That gaze made Sword Saint Snowfall’s heart tremble.

For a moment, she actually forgot to pursue the matter of “being rude to his elder”.

She turned her head to the side. “…It doesn’t matter. In any case, it won’t be worse.”

“Then it’s decided.”

Kang De looked at Hong San. “You won’t be able to make it in time for such an exciting thing.”

Hong San smiled. “Of course. Am I going to be a burden?”

“Therefore, you should bring…”

“There’s no need. I’ll stay in Valentine.”

When Kang De heard this, he frowned. “This is not safe…”

Hong San turned to another topic, “So, Your Highness doesn’t plan to inform Lord Tagris?”

The figure of the elf flashed through his mind, but Kang De shook his head without hesitation. Before he returned to Earth, he was still hesitating if he should take a gamble. He would bet that this was the will of the expeditionary army or the council and that Tagris did not know. However, now, he did not dare to take the gamble.

In the worst case, he would immediately turn hostile and start a war. It would not only affect his ability to save the Red Maple Kingdom in time, but it would also affect the rescue operation on Earth.

It was not only Tina.

His father’s life was involved.

Therefore, he would not bet.

Not gambling was the most correct and responsible choice.

‘I’m sorry, I can’t believe you this time.’

“Therefore, I have to stay and bet on hope… When I heard the conversation about the powerful enemy from outer space, I felt that falling into a full-scale war with the elves was not a good thing in the end. If that lord is unaware of this, we still have a chance to avoid the worst outcome.”

Hong San said, “This risk is worth taking. I’ll delay for a period of time before making a choice.”

Kang De was silent. “But you also said that this means danger.”

“After all, it’s that lord. Generally speaking, he can’t do anything to anger Valentine and kill him. At most, he’ll be a hostage in exchange. I know what I’m doing, and so does Your Highness, right?”

The Cathayan revealed a fearless smile, “Even if I catch up to the worst situation, there will definitely be countless and endless souls of the elves to accompany me when Hong San’s soul returns to the netherworld. It doesn’t matter if I’m wronged or not to exchange so many elves with my mere life.”

“You said it.”

Kang De was silent for a moment before saying indifferently, “Don’t find it too crowded when the time comes.”

Hong San still smiled.

“Then we’ll set off in ten minutes,” Kang De said. “I’ll go find Leona.”

Hong San raised his eyebrows and said, “Is there a need?”

“Yes.” Kang De turned around and said, “I can’t distrust everyone… She has the right to know.”

At this moment, the sky was slightly bright. The vast land was woken up by the rising sun. Most people knew nothing about most of the things that had happened in the world. At the appointed moment, the huge expeditionary army system of the Twilight Dynasty began to operate again. The horn of war sounded desolately again. Today would definitely shock the world.

The gorilla left the city with Sword Saint Snowfall along the underground passageway of Valentine.

With a flash of light, Kang De crossed the white fog world from the other world and returned to Earth. He sat on the leather cushion that covered the toilet in the toilet. The spatial coordinates were anchored here.

He maintained this posture and pondered, but this posture was a little familiar.

After locking the toilet door, he took the phone fixed to the side and quickly listened to the recording. There was no sound of knocking, but there were a few missed calls from WeChat—WiFi was provided on the private plane.

It was Xie Ligan.

He called back.

“I’ve already communicated with them. With the money in place, everything is not a problem. They agreed to postpone this order and sell it to you. However, time is tight and we can only gather it nearby. As for the details, I’ll send you a WeChat friend in a while. Add him and have a video call. He’ll introduce you.”

Kang De smiled indifferently. “It’s quite advanced. They even know how to use WeChat.”

“At least millions of dollars in business. You can even ask him to send letters via a pigeon.”

Xie Ligan said, “In addition, there’s a problem with the landing. The plane can’t stop in the wilderness. As long as the ground is a little uneven, an accident will happen. It’s useless no matter how much money you add. Previously, they had a plan because the seller is a local chief who was quite famous and powerful. They’ve already arranged everything. When they land at the airport, someone will take over the transportation. I can’t help with this. You…”

Kang De said, “Tell them that after landing, the pilots will be paid 5,000 dollars each. Lock the plane and get out to find a hotel to have fun. I have a way to avoid everyone.”

“Alright.”

“Then, is everything alright?”

“In fact, there’s something… I asked my friends about this war. They do this kind of business and have their own channels.”

Xie Ligan lowered his voice and said indifferently, “Be careful. They said that this war is a little strange.”
