Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

In the past few days, the dark tide of Danfeng Lucerne has been turbulent, and the situation has been ups and downs.

The continuous war of Songyue caused a complete setback to this declining country, and a large number of casualties and losses were second. More importantly, the tragic process of the war gave deep fear to the vested interests that were not brave, especially It is they who have walked a circle on the brink of death.

During the Battle of Danfeng Lucerne, almost all the Goethe nobles abandoned their illusions and decided to resist desperately, but bravery and fearlessness are time-effective, especially when the city was broken and all thoughts were lost, Kant turned the tide, the survivors of the war. had lost the courage to experience the second war.

Only by experiencing death can you understand the value of life.

Only then will I understand that what I enjoy on weekdays, wealth, peace, wealth, power, deliciousness, women... all of these things are so precious and reluctant to give up.

It's not enough, I want more and more, and I have to fully enjoy it so that I can live up to the second life.

So after the war, Danfeng Lucerne fell into a carnival and a feast.

The nobles splurge and indulge in revenge, and the commoners sing and drink happily. Sometimes the fire of war does not strengthen the courage of a nation, but makes them more cowardly and degenerate, because the bravest people have already become war fighters. The first victims.

The survivors intensified their enjoyment, intoxicated themselves with money, and experienced the beauty of life to the fullest, so they loathed more risks and wars, and became more timid.

When Kant brought up the conflict with the Dragons, they already had quite a few criticisms, but they were only complaining in private because of the Aurora's Forbidden Curse deterrence and their status as the guardians of peace.

But when the paradox element attracted the attention and greed of the whole world, and triggered oppression and threats from major powers, this dissatisfaction finally broke out completely.

Because of the fear of the destruction and disaster of war, most Goethe nobles and those in power did not realize that this was an opportunity to quickly restore and enhance Goethe's strength. It was not ecstasy, but fear that filled their hearts. Although the idiom of Biqigui does not exist in other worlds, it has similar expressions in the East and the West—because the external manifestation of civilization is the exploitation and looting of the advanced by the backward.

They panicked, talked, advocated compromise, and advocated to exchange this brand-new mysterious substance for the protection and courtesy of a certain great country. After all, they were already rich and did not need to risk anything.

This protest gradually turned into a radical proposition as the pressure of the countries gradually increased.

In the final analysis, the reason is that Kant has no news when the storm is precarious.

Either due to the lobbying and bribing of external forces, or due to their own narrow-mindedness and stupidity, the nobles and citizens are venting their fear and hostility, flashing most of the idiots to charge for themselves, and they quickly forget that Kant gave this gift. The kindness of this city and this country, he also completely forgot that he was still praising the achievements of the Aurora Dragon not long ago, and began to criticize the former hero.

Spreading rumors, insulting and berating, claiming that this malicious Aurora is trying to get close to Princess Tina and Goethe with indescribable evil, and its main purpose is to plunder the god-given treasure under Bibo Province The mysterious substance then went away, making Goethe face the wrath of the nations.

Demonstrations, unrest, petitions and protests intensified, resulting in **** carnage.

The ruthless suppression order from Princess Tina stunned these "patriots" and the conspirators in the dark. They began to doubt whether there was Kant's inspiration behind it. The impression is still limited to the stage of the erudite, elegant, beautiful and gentle Goethe Pearl.

But the violent crackdown brought only short-lived peace.

With further pressure from the countries, Kant still did not appear.

The fleet is approaching the far harbor waters, the imperial army on the eastern border is frequently mobilized, the spies and lobbyists of various countries are secretly roaming in Danfeng Lucerne, those big nobles and big bosses in the north of the empire who lent to Princess Tina in the Song Moon War. Merchants, too, have issued statements demanding debts.

The conspirators smelled the bluff.

A second temptation and persecution followed.

The traitors who got the promise, the patriots who were dissatisfied with Tina's armed actions, the Goethe spokespersons of the Empire and the Council, they all connected in tacit understanding and collectively visited the Maple Leaf Palace.

They attacked Princess Tina, accused the member of the Teldaril family of betraying the interests of the country for the sake of her sweetheart, and denounced her for destroying the gracious and fair governance tradition of Goethe's grand dukes, trying to use blood and violence to maintain rule and suppress dissidents.

According to the participants, the beautiful and dignified Princess Tina in everyone's memory was "as if possessed by demons" with cold brows, "like a crazy bitch", and started scolding the gentlemen, and did not hide her increasingly surly attitude. Violent tendencies, blatantly threatened the personal safety of several nobles.

The audience hall that day was filled with chaotic reprimands and roars, and Princess Tina's voice was caught in the middle, as sharp as a sword, not giving an inch, eloquent and eloquent.

But in recent days, the brutal actions of this acting ruler are really unpopular, not only making the opposition grit their teeth, but even disturbing the neutrals and even their supporters.

After all, the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

When I see my colleagues, friends or opponents who look down and don’t look up on weekdays, they are dragged to the corner by those Valentan countrymen and even green-skinned orcs like dragging dogs to death, and they are beaten into a pool with evil alchemy weapons. Unrecognizable The minced meat of the noble and respectable nobles actually ended up like this, even the die-hard supporters of Teldaril have criticized this a lot - is there still law, and kindness?

So the situation is unprecedented passive.

As the largest vested interest class, the nobles denounced Tina's brutality and cruelty.

And most of the civil servants in Danfeng Lucerne came from the prime minister's lineage. They held the indifferent and even hostile attitude of the suspended prime minister towards the Aurora people. Naturally, they would not stand on Tina's side.

Although the mages have a good relationship with Kant, the people of Aurora have just humiliated the envoy of the Austrian Council. This arrogant behavior has also caused dissatisfaction, not to mention that Princess Tina has done too much.

The military has yet to express its position. This is due to the balance of tacit understanding. As long as His Royal Highness Landiston, the second son of the Grand Duke, does not support the younger sister with a clear stand, the opposition in the army will not jump up to wave their flags and shout and mix political conflicts into Qiu Ba. Interference - this has always been a political taboo in any country.

But that means Tina hardly has any supporters.

The situation of this forced palace gradually collapsed and deteriorated, and a major conflict was inevitable.

At a critical moment, the Duke of Reknos, who was ill, finally appeared. He upheld the spirit of Teddariel of justice and benevolence, denied Princess Tina's violent repression in the past few days, and deprived Her Royal Highness of the power of temporary ruling. , and ordered Her Royal Highness to close the door and think about it immediately.

The action against tyranny was successful, but it was not enough for the lackeys who colluded with foreign countries. Some nobles were excited, claiming that even the children of the grand duke were bound by the law. Princess Tina's orders destroyed many honest people. A noble and innocent good person, she must pay for it.

As well as her cruel accomplices, the loyal lackeys of Kant from Aurora, the Oriental named Hong San, the barbarians of the Valentin countryside, and those ugly greenskins, all of them will be arrested and sentenced to prison.

Then accept the verdict of all Goethes.

Before the Grand Duke made a statement, "The Butcher" Hong San sneered.

Accompanied by his sneer, dozens of thunderous loud noises sounded from all directions. The violent vibration caused countless smoke and sand to fall from the ceiling of the audience hall. It was the sound of grenades exploding.

After the news that all classes in Danfeng and Lucerne had jointly visited the palace, Hong San took Tina's order and ordered the Valentine Mechanical Brigade to stand by at the periphery of the Maple Leaf Palace, and then transferred the Green-skinned Foreign Gun Team into the palace. .

The first Guards, composed of elites selected from the survivors of the Battle of Valentin, had no doubts about their loyalty, but they were still Goethes, and had a natural awe for this country and the regime. , but the greenskin is different.

For them, the little shrimp in the world are all the same.

Therefore, the greenskins will carry out Hong San's order without hesitation, and with a single order, they will fire at the gardens, squares, fountains and even the no-man's land outside the Maple Leaf Palace.

The sound of the cannons rumbled and the fire soared into the sky, shaking the audience hall.

Under the furious roars and fearful gazes of everyone, Hong San looked calm and saluted gracefully, asking your Excellencies to allow him to point out a trivial matter.

That is to say, under the luxurious and heavy moon-long star cracking slate that your Excellencies stepped on, buried a 2,000-pound Jadam joint attack ammunition, as well as a BLU-118B thermobaric bomb.

The former shined brilliantly in the Battle of Danfeng Lucerne, and His Royal Highness Kant destroyed the entire elf army with just one. The noble and elegant gestures of the adults were all printed on the murals of the Hall of Audiences.

There was a big uproar, fear and anger grew together, and Butcher Aurora showed a crazy and fearless smile, just like the instigators and conspirators who ordered the shooting of an entire street.

He opened his hands to the knights who drew their swords, the mages who raised their staffs, and the nobles who clenched their fists. He gestured for the adults to take care of themselves. By the way, he guessed that the button that activated the alchemy bomb was connected to his heart. Together, they are still held in the hands of a green skin outside.

It was only at this moment that Goethe's bigwigs had a thorough understanding of the followers and staff of the Dragon of Aurora.

A **** butcher, a reckless lunatic, whose life and death are on the line, facing the anger of the whole country, he can still laugh and laugh enthusiastically.

The Hong San in front of him is not the same person from everyone's impressions and information, who is always half a position behind His Royal Highness Kant, with a clear and reserved smile.

Amid the anger, fear and scolding, Hong San's smile was the same as before, without the slightest wave.

He fired his spear like lightning, and with the big exaggerated sniper Kant gave him, he smashed the upper body of a noble who called him the most. The thick smoke from the gun barrel was blown away, and in a calm tone, I asked everyone to keep quiet for a while.

He said that he had no intention of creating a massacre. His mission was to ensure the absolute safety of the mistress. Goethe's law had no right to judge the followers of His Royal Highness Kant, so his proposal was that all of His Highness Kant's followers left the city and escorted them with Princess Tina leaves Danfeng Lucerne.

As long as it is not blocked, the bomb will never be activated.

otherwise…

"Otherwise, the Maple Leaf Palace will be turned into a **** execution ground, you will be smashed to pieces, blood will fall from the sky, and we will arrive at the kingdom of the underworld with infinite loyalty to His Royal Highness Kant. The only regret is that the short-term loyalty ends today, but today will also be Be the end of Goethe, and the loud noise that shakes Danfeng Lucerne will be the first death knell of this country! But noble lords! Please don't feel lonely, and don't feel sorry for not being able to witness the funeral of this country with your own eyes, Because it won't be long before your sad and desperate families will find out that the vengeful dragon from Aurora has appeared before them, and the merciful H.K. Bloody postmortem talk!"

More people changed their faces, and the fearless declaration of the Aurora people hit their biggest worry and weakness.

Although their lobbyists swear that Kant can't come back, the bigwigs of the nations will make sure he can't come back - but what if! ?

Out of worry and fear, they pinned their hopes on the Archduke, hoping that the benevolent Archduke would take up his duty as a ruler and solve this shameless blackmail and threat.

At least keep Princess Tina behind! Even house arrest in the Maple Leaf Palace is OK!

Once all his subordinates and wives escaped, and Kant successfully returned, then he would have no constraints at all in taking revenge on Danfeng Lucerne—what? Is the father-in-law still in the city?

Noble gentlemen ask themselves and save others by themselves. If their father-in-law is kidnapped by the devil, then they will definitely be saddened and resolutely make a cruel determination to kill the evil devil and the innocent father-in-law together, and never give it to the devil. With demagogic conspiracy opportunities, they will wipe away tears, help grieving wives be strong, and manage their succession, even if they have to take on the heavy decision alone.

So they were willing to take a step back and allow Hong San to take his subordinates to leave, and promised not to investigate what he had done a few days ago, but Princess Tina had to stay in the Maple Leaf Palace, and the reason was very grand, after all, she and Kant His Highness is not yet married, so Hong San is not qualified to take her away.

Of course, Hong San insisted not to allow it. The negotiation is deadlocked here. Princess Tina's departure and retention are the core contradiction. Hong San wants to take away the mistress, and the Goethes want to keep the princess as a buffer in case.

After all, not all Goethes were bought by external forces, and many people in the audience hall were purely political and ideological disagreements, or stupid.

They do not want to let their good relationship with Kant completely deteriorate, and Tina, as Princess Goethe, still has to perform her duties, retain Kant's goodwill and goodwill for the country of Goethe, and support her with taxes and labor as a Goethe people. Years of brocade clothing and jade food, the return of a high-class life.

Hong San still didn't expect that something went wrong on Princess Tina's side.

The Grand Duke didn't say anything, and even tended to let his daughter leave. Sword Saint Puxue didn't say anything. She just sighed silently. His Highness Landiston didn't say anything. The princess must do her duty" bastard.

But the more kindness the family showed, the more the princess' slender and gentle heart became more apologetic and shaken.

In the end, she announced that she voluntarily stayed in the Maple Leaf Palace and accepted house arrest.

But in exchange, the safety of Hong San and others must be guaranteed, and no member can be arrested, tried or attacked, and retain full autonomy and right to act.

She swore to the ministers and nobles present that once Kant's subordinates encountered a crisis in their lives, she would not hesitate to blame all of them and end her own life.

Everyone knows what this threat means.

If Kant can return to the surface and find that his subordinates are dead, and his wife is also dead, then it is clear that the rage of the Forbidden Magician will baptize every inch of this country.

And no country will do them justice.

Of course everyone agreed.

Tina just gave Hong San an apologetic look. Although she chose to stand on Kant's side, she could not be completely separated from Goethe and the family.

Hong San can speak as well.

He considered himself a courtier, and since the mistress made the decision, he had no reason to force it.

During the short meeting, Tina did not say the reason for her decision to stay, but Hong San had already noticed it. Both of them had great confidence in Kant, but Tina still suggested that Hong San should take someone to leave Danfeng Lucerne immediately. And go to the Elf Expeditionary Army camp outside the city, take a letter from her, and give it to the Phoenix King.

"But, for your safety..."

This is still the thing that Hong San Institute is most worried about.

To this end, Tina just took out the blessing of Yongning, with a gentle and calm tone: "This is the safest place, Mr. Hong, and I can go wherever I want to go... no matter where he is."

Even if the worst happens...she'll go back to Kant.

wherever he is.

Hong San solemnly saluted and left the Maple Leaf Palace.

Immediately forgot Tina's instructions.

Since she is unwilling to leave, she is no longer a mistress. How could the free Aurora people obey such manipulations.

He immediately left the Maple Leaf Palace with the Valentine's Mechanized Guards Brigade and the Green-skinned Foreign Gun Team, and requisitioned an area in the direction of the southern city gate to openly enter, pondering vicious tactics.

Before rushing back to Valentine from Bibo Province, Hong San had already stopped by the elf camp and connected with it. Once the worst happened, he would attack the South Gate violently with his army. , use the alchemy weapons left to him by Kant to completely defeat the city gate of Danfeng Lucerne, and lead the elf expedition outside the city into the city.

The change of Hong Sansuo's department became a thorn in the flesh of the Goethe people. He openly set up a cannon near the south gate to maintain smooth traffic with the Maple Leaf Palace, making the nobles sleepless.

But they did not dare to act rashly due to the threat of Princess Tina.

But it's okay to repeat the same trick, incite stupid citizens, shock and protest.

After another two days, the patience and fear have faded a little, and the fleets of the various countries have openly entered the sea, the external pressure is like a violent storm, and there is still no news from Kant, so a new conspiracy is gradually taking shape. The country's spies and lobbyists began to make waves. After all, they were not afraid of Kant's retaliation, nor did they mind Kant smashing the country into pieces... So let's make the fun a little bit bigger.

This afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Hong San leaned on the table for a nap, still thinking about what happened today. In the past few days, the powerful pressure from the empire, the council, and even the twilight moon came overwhelmingly. Kant never showed up, which fueled the conspiracy. The fluke mentality of the writers.

The triple wave surrounded the little Goethe, and external pressure turned into soaring prices, blockade of commercial activities, and political isolation, which stimulated the panic of the nobles, the middle class, and the common people, and connected them together to form a wave of terror , once again attacked the Maple Leaf Palace.

On this day, the petitions of citizens, the audience of nobles, the advice of civil servants, soldiers and mages, and even the urging and persecution of external forces, all pressed against the precarious Teddariel.

Everyone hopes that the Grand Duke will make a decision and respond as soon as possible for Goethe.

As for the dangerous and promising mysterious substances under Bibo Province, as a new resource bestowed by God, they should be shared and developed by all races and countries, not one country alone, let alone let individual conspiracies dance in it. ...this is for the safety and future of Goethe as a whole.

The incited people believed that once the treaty was concluded, Goethe could keep peace forever.

As the country of origin of the mysterious element, it will be protected and respected by all countries, there will be no more wars, no more disputes, peace will continue, everything will get better and better, but at a trivial price... After all The happiness of each subject is more important than the prosperity of the country.

All it takes is a declaration and a promise from the Archduke.

The nations can then be negotiated, discussed, and pacted with dignity.

From then on, all troubles are gone, peace finally comes, and Goethe will become a paradise.

Such rhetoric is very provocative, and it hits everyone who has suffered from the war. The devastation of the Song Moon War is so far-reaching that people yearn for peace rather than revenge.

What a wonderful gift from God.

everlasting peace, everlasting prosperity.

This kind of problem is an upright conspiracy. With the force in Hong San's hands, he can no longer do anything.

He even worried that once the assembled people were instigated by malicious conspirators, they would vent their anger against His Highness on the Valentin Legion... and how to deal with it at that time.

Between worries and thoughts, the sunlight in front of the window was quietly blocked.

Hong San froze, raised his head and smiled: "My lord, next time, let's go to Her Royal Highness first."
