Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The sky is clear and the wind is high, the waves are surging, and the gulls and birds are flying.

Between the blue waves, a fleet sailed.

The hulls are tall, entwined with green vines, winding like living creatures, on the snow-white sails, the silver moon and the trident overlap, everyone knows that this is the emblem of the Royal Navy of the Dusk Moon.

"Brother Mian, looking at the chart and the sky, the former is the Broken Islands."

On the bow of a second-class battleship, two black-haired youths stood tall, looking at the sea and the sky, and the land could be faintly seen in the distance.

The man in brocade clothes and a crown of jade on his forehead held the chart, looked at it for a moment, and said, "Since China and Western Turkey have been cut off from trade, and because of the suppression of the Spirit Race, Goethe is also declining day by day, and the Broken Isles rose up and seized the The wealth of the nation and the prosperity of the people, and the benefits of the hub connecting the world, have led to the decline of the nation's power, until today..."

"I heard that this island was founded by merchants, and that state affairs are decided by the clan chiefs. Oh, how can military affairs be made available to everyone? Merchants pursue profits, but they have no heart and soul to control the country. It must be a dishonest, shameless, bullying and untrustworthy country, of course. Unbridled greed, utterly immoral, and even self-inflicted and incurs divine retribution, it is said that there are peerless beasts rising from the blue sea, devouring living beings, and destroying their country..."

The man paused for a moment and said, "Fortunately, the Duke of Qin was able to exalt the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, slaying the beasts in the blue sea, until the light of the spirit is brilliant, the sky can be seen, and there are steel flying wings to build the bridge of the starry sky, saving innocent life between the raging waves, here All sorts of things, I can't wait to see it with my own eyes..."

Zhang Li, the word Mianzhi, dressed in black clothes with purple jade hanging from his waist, he looked at the distant sea line, frowned slightly, and said in a solemn tone: "You and I don't know the inside story of the Broken Islands, but Kant benefits the most."

The young Junjie holding the chart was called Shen Maocai, and he sighed: "How can you call him by his first name?"

"The line of Qin Guogong has long been cut off. I have searched through old historical books in the past two months, and there has never been any trace of his sons living overseas. The so-called prince of the country is not recognized."

Zhang Li said this, with a worried look on his face: "If you grab a life-saving straw, you will not recognize it, make a commotion in the world, and the country will lose its dignity... Not to mention being ridiculed, in case this Kang is deceived and greedy. This generation, what will you do to welcome him back to the court in the future?"

"What's the use of saying this now?"

Shen Maocai said quietly: "The Broken Isles are approaching, here to the east, sailing for a day, it is the far port. The angel is on the front boat, and His Majesty entrusts it. When the decree is announced, then Kang Jun will be the iron-clad Duke of Qin, and the Yintai General Mansion, all of them. There is a book, but you don't recognize it, what's the use?"

When he said this, he couldn't help showing regret and a trace of daze.

"Not only that..." The Divine State Junjie said with a wry smile, "The more than 3,000 skilled craftsmen, boys, righteous men, fu masters, and warriors who came from the east have already sacrificed their lives and sold their entire wealth to Qin Guogong. "

They crossed eastward with the Spirit Race battleship. Before they left, more than 3,000 people, regardless of their status, signed a life and death certificate, swearing that they would be the Duke of Qin and go to the West, allowing them to drive and help them capture foreign troops. , Back to help Shenzhou Sheji, I have nothing else to ask for, and I have no regrets in life and death.

People leave their hometowns, and when they arrive in a foreign land, they can only let Kant handle it. Even if they are sent to death, they have nothing to do. Maybe they will become lonely ghosts in a foreign land, and their ancestors will not be able to see...

However, there are still countless people who came out of the royal family's recruitment. His Majesty personally selected and deliberated, and finally recruited more than 3,000 people as the first batch of the prince's army to help them succeed.

But the blood will cool down, even if the sailing is generous and heroic, after these days of boring sea rushing, the feelings of the once strong will also come to mind.

As the western land approaches, people look at their homeland every day, with tears in their eyes, while bowing to His Majesty from afar, they are also anxious about their upcoming fate - what kind of person is Duke Kant of Qin? What kind of fate will they face when they come to the Western Land and fall under the command of Duke Qin?

No one can escape this kind of anxiety.

"Brother Mian..."

Shen Maocai sighed and said, "Since you are suspicious of Qin Guogong, why do you want to share this muddy water? You know, to put it a bit harsher, if the life and death are signed, even if the Guogong takes us as a family slave, there is nothing you can do."

A talented, contemporary handsome man with a bright future, why do you need to take risks in the West?

This brother of Mian praised Qin Guogong louder than anyone else on that day, and even shouted that Qin Guogong was the greatest hope of the sky. First, he wrote a poem to praise, and then wrote a splendid article. He deceived His Majesty and infiltrated Dongdu's fleet.

Who knew that soon after boarding the ship, his true colors were revealed.

Zhang Li smiled lightly: "Of course I want to see with my own eyes what kind of character Kang Jun is... If he has no talent, no virtue, and a thief, that's all. The country has also killed a lot of liars in the past few years..."

Shen Maocai said sternly: "The ability of the Duke of Qin must be true. Don't forget that the emperor is in the west."

"That's what worries me the most."

Zhang Li reluctantly said: "The heroic figure who holds the peerless force and even subdues the emperor, watch him take the Broken Isles lightly, not only kill the enemy chieftain, but also gain new land, and win the hearts of the people, if he released the peerless beast, Such cruel and cold-blooded means, is it the blessing of Shenzhou? If you marry your majesty and get a title, he will return to the dynasty one day, and things will inevitably change.

That's right, Shen Maocai was also silent.

He knows how bad the state is.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that."

Zhang Li smiled: "I came to the Western Land with bad intentions. Brother Shen came to the Western Land for what?"

Hearing this, Shen Maocai replied sternly: "Brother Mian also saw that image... Qin Guogong's ability has changed very recently, and his mechanical skills are unparalleled in the world. This is the way to strengthen a country. The younger brother is not talented. If you learn from it and serve the country, you won't be wasting your life..."

With the help of external forces, it has no reason to change, and it is not the knowledge of the sages. How can it be the road to power?

Zhang Mianzhi slandered in his heart.

He recognizes the benefits of mechanical techniques. Aurora has been beaten for a long time these years. The country is getting poorer and poorer, and the attitude of the whole country is constantly turning to pragmatism. After all, there is the whetstone of war—a martial arts practice No, you will know when you go into battle. If you can kill in battle, that's OK. If you can't go into battle, then you will die. Similarly, as long as the mechanism can stop the enemy and make meritorious deeds, it is good.

It's just a trick, it's just a small skill, and it needs the guidance of the sage's avenue, which is not a conflict.

He recalled the image he saw before leaving, which was sent by a messenger from the West.

The images are stored in the strange objects, and they are replayed from time to time. Kang Jun's ability is of course extraordinary, and the content of the image seems to be showing off his martial arts... With images and words, he explained his many achievements in the Western Land. They Just watched a paragraph, there must be more there, Your Majesty.

After all, the message from the West is meant for His Majesty after all...

He looked at the sea level, lost in thought.

I don't know what book Kant read?

If it is the seed of study who is diligent in studying, it can make people feel a little relieved... At least one who has been taught by sages and admired by kings, even if it is...

He was worried, but Shen Maocai became more and more excited: "I heard that Qin's government is so strong that it has even caused the Spirit Clan to suffer a big loss. I really don't know what kind of extravagance it is!"

Zhang Li frowned and said, "This must be a rumor. If Kang Jun can make the Spirit Clan stop, why would the messenger use the Spirit Clan to send a message? Why didn't Kang Jun's battleship reach Shenzhou directly? The ship has arrived in the West? Why did Your Majesty choose only three thousand people?"

He sighed heavily: "The Spiritual Race is blocking the east-west route. This is something that the whole dynasty knows very well. These pointed ears are not at ease, and they are not overwhelmed by Kang Jun. On the contrary, I am afraid that we will all be used by the Spiritual Race..."

Shen Maocai wanted to defend, but when he heard this, he was surprised: "Use?"

"The Spirit Race is blocking the communication between the two continents to control trade routes and hinder development. They assist us, and they also expect us to hold back the enemy, and they can continue to bleed us and control us better."

When Zhang Li said this, he showed a mixture of anger and shame. The master humiliated his ministers to death, and the country humiliated the people. He clearly knew the ambitions of the elf wolf, but he was incompetent and furious.

"Like now, Kang Jun wants to exchange news with Shenzhou, but he still needs the nod from the Spirit Clan. Your Majesty wants to help Kang Jun, and he also needs the Spirit Clan to nod. Because there is no ship and permission from the Spirit Clan, Kang Jun's news and gifts will not be available. If we can't send it to Aurora, I can't come to the West... Brother Shen, you said that since the Spirit Clan is isolated from the communication between the two continents, why did you agree to Kang Jun's request to send the letter, and why did you agree to bring us to the West?"

Shen Maocai thought about it seriously, and replied, "Is it the Duke of Qin who is dignified and convinces the spirit clan to bow their heads?"

"...How is it possible? The Divine State is declining, and the Spiritual Race is the most powerful country in the world. It has a strong army and a vast wealth. It overwhelms the world. It is a family that claims to be the chosen one. How can they bow their heads to Kang Jun?"

Zhang Li sneered: "The Spiritual Race has a very high self-esteem, even if they kill them, they will not bow their heads and compromise. You say that Kang Jun can suppress them, but it is better to say that the Queen of the Spiritual Race wants to recruit Kant as his son-in-law, so let the water go! "

When Shen Maocai heard the words, he laughed loudly: "I never knew."

Zhang Li pointed at him and said nothing.

Both of them knew that this was a joke—the Queen of the Spirit Race recruited Kant as her son-in-law, what a joke, if it was such a rare commodity, then I would definitely write it down in blood and persuade Your Majesty to immediately get married.

After laughing for a while, Shen Maocai asked sternly, "Brother Mian said that the Spirit Race is using it? What are you using??"

Zhang Li's face became gloomy: "The spirits are very thoughtful and are very good at provocation. This time, allowing me to wait for Dongdu to help Kangjun, I am afraid it is also in their calculations..."

He looked at Shen Maocai, his eyes were cold and stern: "Kang Jun said that he wanted to unify the military power of the Western Turks. It's not impossible that the flames of war will spread to the entire western land..."

Shen Maocai's expression suddenly changed: "You mean, the Spirit Clan wants to use my dynasty and Qin Guogong to start a war and disrupt the Western Continent, and then the Spirit Clan Oriole is behind to take advantage of the opportunity?"

Zhang Li said coldly, "Otherwise, why would the Spirit Race be so kind?"

He has been worried these days, and it is precisely when he thinks of this that he is so anxious, but he doesn't know who to speak to.

Shenzhou has already suffered a catastrophe, the country has been destroyed, and the strong men have shed blood. In recent years, there has been a little respite, but the wave has not settled, and the wave has risen. It is expected that Kant will lead the army to return to the rescue, but it will continue under the tricks of the Spirit Race. Who can endure such continuous bloodletting by constantly dispatching elites from the country to go to the West?

Now that the Far Harbor is in sight, Zhang Li finally spit out a block in his chest.

"On this trip, we must not only see Kang Junde's ability and mind, but also persuade him to know how to advance and retreat, and not to open borders lightly... To get the assistance of the countries in the Western Land, military conquest is only the last resort."

He murmured: "I would like to be a messenger to lobby all countries to save Shenzhou, Shenzhou is still far away from all countries, even if I promise to give money and cede the country, it will not be able to deliver it, but Kangjun is close at hand, if you can turn around and pay for Shenzhou Sincerity, then this Duke of Qin is justified, and I would also like to worship him..."

Shen Maocai hesitated.

Although what Brother Mian said was straightforward and logical, it seemed to be the case.

But he always felt something was wrong.

"Brother Mian..."

"Brother Shen, what's the matter?"

"I still think..."

Shen Maocai said slowly: "The Spirit Race was forced by Duke Qin to agree to wait for me to go to the east..."

Zhang Li raised his eyebrows and said, "How could the Spiritual Race be forced? Why did Brother Shen say such a thing?"

"These days, I have also talked with the Spirit Race crew members. The Spirit Race is arrogant and doesn't take me seriously, but those eyes are not all arrogant and contemptuous..."

Shen Maocai pondered: "Especially when it comes to Duke Qin, asking what Duke Qin has done in the Western Continent, their expressions will become very stinky, they will avoid answering, or just walk away..."

He glanced at Brother Mian, and swallowed a sentence back in his stomach.

—Like when you mentioned the Eldar conspiracy just now, your face was full of rage, but there was nothing you could do about it.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Li pondered, "Xu is that Kang Jun has a bad reputation in the Western Land..."

"—Brother Mian!"

Shen Maocai was a little annoyed, and he raised his voice: "How can a gentleman slander others behind his back? Kang Jun is also a citizen of Shenzhou, and he has raised his country's prestige overseas. He has never seen him, and he does not know his feelings. How can he speculate in the dark?"

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, and then his anger rose up. After wandering at sea for a long time, everyone was holding back their anger. He was full of worries these days. It's Brother Shen, I haven't seen him, so flattering, if Kang-Jun is really a hero, he's willing to be a lackey!?"

The two didn't talk speculatively and glared at each other.

After a while, Zhang Li took a step back, and he sighed: "Brother Shen, I know you want a hero from China, but in this world, where can you see a hero? Even if I am facing such a desperate situation, I will inevitably have intrigue and power struggles. And Jun Kang is in a foreign land, looking around is a foreign country, not his race, he must be guarded everywhere, the current situation is like this, how can he be a man who is upright and upright?"

He looked up at the silver moon trident pattern in the style of the battleship.

"If you can convince the Spirit Race and stand up in court, then since the Broken Islands is already a vassal under his name, and now the Spirit Race battleships are marching straight into the sea, looking at this vast blue sea, how can there be any shadows of half of the battleships that came to intercept them?"

Zhang Li looked at his best friend. Over the years, who doesn't want to be a hero who can help the society and win every battle? But the world is cruel, and the heart is cold.

He said helplessly: "I..."

Before the words fell, the wind in the sky was surging.

They looked up suddenly.

Not far away, the cry of the Eldar sailor sounded, and the voice was full of some kind of surprised panic.

For the rest of the month, they were escorted by the Spiritual Race all the way to Dongdu. They were used to seeing the arrogant and hostile expressions of these Spiritual Races, but they never thought that these arrogant and powerful troops and arrogant ethnic groups would be so panicked. A bewildered cry - a clear silver dot roared down in the sky.

Footsteps shook from the deck.

The two Junyan turned around in amazement, but saw the Spirit Race officers rushed to the deck in a hurry, their eyes dignified, as if they were facing a great enemy, looking at the sky, they turned their heads blankly, but seeing this majestic fleet, every ship rang With the same shout, the solemn and solemn Spirit Race soldiers are all looking up at the sky and looking at each other.

Both Zhang and Shen saw their calm expressions.

That is the known fear.

People who have been bitten by a tiger, even if they look at the tiger through the cage again, even if they know that the other party will never hurt them this time... they will still feel apprehensive and afraid.

Because the memory will be awakened...and so will the fear.

The silver wings whizzed down.

The Aurora people on the boat also walked out one after another, and none of the elf soldiers scolded them for walking without authorization, and even some elves subconsciously approached these people from the east... Everyone was looking up at the sky.

The flying wings that swooped down roared down, the hurricane swayed the sails of the fleet, the eagle slammed into the sky, three war machines swept across the sky, the tail sprayed brilliant flames across the blue sea, turned around, and made a leap. Like a frightening dragon, soaring above the nine heavens.

Everyone's eyes turned with the knight in the air, and Shen Maocai murmured, "It's so beautiful..."

So fast, so beautiful.

Just looking at the shape, he didn't see its thunder start, but he could still determine it intuitively.

"This must be the world's first-class murder weapon..."

There is no doubt that Duke Qin's power and will has been projected here.

Shen Maocai looked at Zhang Li, the joy on his face had already explained everything, Zhang Li subconsciously said: "It's just the organ kite..."

As if in response to his words, when everyone looked up at the sky, the huge phase gate unfolded brilliantly, and in the azure blue halo of a nebula, the fleet jumped out like a palace on the sea, and it was terrifying. The huge waves caused the fleet to oscillate and fluctuate!

exclaimed.

The two cruisers and four green-skinned battleships flashed with extraordinary light, teleported to them, and in an instant, they had surrounded the Dongdu fleet. The hull was made of cast steel, and its size was as large as a Kun. It was the largest in the Dongdu fleet. The second-class battleship is a huge battleship that is rarely seen in the Duyue Fleet or even in the whole world, but in front of this battleship that is actually made of steel, it is not just a small circle at all!

The ship hummed and vibrated, the turret turned, the container rose high, the honeycomb rocket showed the red warhead, the soldiers in heavy armor and portable artillery stood on the ship, and the shrill alarm sounded through the sea.

Chilling aura came on his face.

Even if they have never seen this battle, everyone knows that the terrifying battleship that suddenly appeared has prepared a war stance to attack at any time!

Between the battleship and the battleship, the sea water was churning and turbulent, and it seemed that a foreign object broke out of the water.

The screams resumed.

Zhang Shen and the two looked down, and their hearts were shocked. They saw a huge shark surfaced. It was equipped with a saddle with cold light, and there were silver armored soldiers sitting on it. Only one more surfaced, and in addition to sharks, there were crabs.

The crab was more than a hundred times bigger than what you normally eat, and what made the heart feel even colder was that in addition to the saddle, there was a huge jar on the back of the crab, and something like a strap came out of the jar. Extending out to the front, hidden in a six-barreled combat tool as thick as a giant arm...

In addition, above the two pincers, there are two weapons like a honeycomb.

- what are these!

Looking up, the weapons carried by the crabs are actually different from each other. All the weapons exude a light to avoid water, and all kinds of seafood are constantly floating. There are marvelous saddles, huge mosasaurs surfaced and groaned quietly, the sky has flying wings whistling and circling, battleships rumbled, roaring in the blue sea, the world and the seas, ambush from all sides, and murderous intentions everywhere.

Zhang Li's face changed drastically: "This is..."

"Elf fleet, you have entered the waters of the Broken Isles. This is the legal territorial waters of His Royal Highness Kant. Immediately explain your intention and wait for inspection!"
