Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds
/ Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Chapter 33
A Tiny Sacrifice
“I have a plan.”
If these words came from Mr. Dutch Van der Linde, it would often be the beginning of a bad thing.
However, Kang De was the one who said this.
It was more convincing.
—At least for the knight.
Knight Cleveland felt that he was knowledgeable, but he could not see through this Cathayan in front of him. It was as if the other party was hidden in heavy fog. His background was a mystery, his actions were a mystery, and everything was a mystery.
They had still only interacted for a short period of time and could not tell anything.
This was because the knight could sense that the other party was still wary and alert. After this vigilance, there was huge confusion… and even madness.
However, other than that, he had to admit that Mr. Kang De was a very charming person.
This charm came not only from his appearance, speech, strength, and wealth but also from his temperament. That different, confident, but slightly melancholic temperament was not the pretense of those so-called poet prodigal sons, but from real experience and sorrow.
He was willing to believe such a person.
boxn ov el. c o mMoreover, although he had the intention to die, who would be willing to die if he could avoid it?
It was not a big deal to listen to it.
Therefore, the knight nodded and said, “I'm willing to listen to your plan.”
Kang De thought for a moment and asked, “Is the elf captain over there stupid?”
“He's not stupid at all,” the knight replied. “The previous sea battle has already proven the other party's captain's cunning and cold-blooded nature. He's a troublesome opponent, calm and fatal. In fact, the position of the main captain in the highly competitive Elven Royal Navy is definitely not unknown. He must have experienced a large number of battles, accumulated experience, and contributions, and finally obtained this honor.”
Kang De nodded. “Then, there's a problem.”
He said, “If I'm the elf captain and my goal is to capture you, the first thing I'll do when I sail to this sea area is to circle around all the islands. If I discover the Goethe ship, I can lock onto its location. At that time, regardless of whether I send an army to attack or bomb wildly, I can happily win. Isn't that right?”
“In comparison, isn't it a little stupid to stop at sea and send troops to search the islands one by one?”
Cleveland suddenly realized, “…That's true!”
“Since the elf captain is not a fool, there's only one possibility.”
Kang De looked at the ship in the sea. The sail was lowered and anchored in the sea, “I'm afraid their ship has been damaged quite badly, just like how you encountered a storm and your hull was damaged…”
“This is good news!”
Cleveland said in surprise, “This means that we have more time to escape! As long as we escape far, we can lure the elves further away. The safer you and the princess will be!”
“…”
Kang De waved his hand and said, “Don't be in a hurry to die. I already said that I have a plan.”
The knight obediently shut his mouth.
“I sent a pigeon to contact Second Senior Brother just now… the leader of this North Island. I want to ask if there are any strange black beasts on this island. I didn't expect them to really exist.”
Kang De said faintly, “Second Senior Brother said that there's a huge gap in the canyon to the west of the North Island. The depths emit an ominous and dangerous aura. It hasn't had the time to go down and take a look.”
Cleveland looked thoughtful. “You mean…”
“Since these elves are here to find you people of Goethe…” Kang De's eyes flickered, “Why don't you let that place become the base of the Goethe people? If that's the ruins of a Divine Race, and the Goethe people discovered the power inheritance of a prehistoric civilization inside—if the elves discover this and think that the Goethe people are continuously advancing underground, only a step away from the divine inheritance…”
“Then, what will they do?”
After Cleveland understood, he shivered.
This plan… was a little vicious.
However, as long as it was used to deal with the elves, it was righteous.
“I understand what you mean…”
He hesitated and said, “How can we make the elves believe all of this? They're knowledgeable. How can we fake the ruins of the Divine Race? They'll see through it.”
Kang De smiled. “I'm better at this.”
The knight said in confusion, “I don't understand.”
“It's very difficult to explain in a short period of time. Just believe me.”
Kang De looked at the hesitant Cleveland and said, “Let Tina make the decision.”
The two of them agreed and slowly retreated.
He returned the way he came.
Tina sat waiting and was relieved to see the two of them return.
“Why did you take so long?”
She had always been worried, and she did not dare to run around.
Knight bowed and said, “I'm sorry for the delay.”
“Let's not talk about this first…” The princess said softly,” Are the elves… really here? ”
Cleveland nodded grimly.
Tina had long guessed this, but after being confirmed, she was still a little dazed. She was stunned for a moment before looking at Kang De and bowing solemnly, “I'm sorry, we've implicated you… I think it's time to leave. If we immediately escape on the ship, the elves will definitely pursue us. We won't have the time to find trouble with you on the island.”
Kang De laughed, “Is this how the Goethe people consider things?”
The princess was stunned.
Therefore, Kang De explained the knight's plan briefly.
It was similar, but it protected two people.
“Definitely not!”
The princess looked very angry. “I'm a descendant of Tedrell. How can I let my subordinates pay with their lives while I survive?”
The knight lowered his head in silence without any intention of reflecting.
“Alright, stop arguing,” Kang De said. “Things are not that bad. I have a plan. If it succeeds… we can even go without any casualties.”
He told the princess about the plan.
The princess did not pay attention to the feasibility and details of this plan. She only looked at Kang De. After a while, she said softly, “You don't actually have to participate… This is not your war.”
“I know, I know. In all fairness, I'm unwilling to be involved in this baffling racial hatred and war.” Kang De sighed, “But the elves look so ferocious. If they kill all of you and want to kill me, what should I do? Helping you is also helping myself.”
“In addition…”
Kang De thought for a moment and said slowly, “That array formation that day seems to be a very good thing. You used it on me and benefited me. I also want to thank you. In addition, the past few days have been quite good… I can't watch you die, right?”
At this point, he added, “Also, although I'm helping you, if the plan fails and your lives are at stake, don't blame me if I leave.”
After all, Kang De had the greatest trump card.
With the ability to cross the two worlds, he could return to Earth to hide at any time. This was an excellent life-saving method. It was unexpected and impossible to guard against.
The princess nodded forcefully, her eyes revealing gratitude and joy. The girl said softly, “It's already a huge favor for you to fight alongside us at a time like this. I won't forget everything you've done… I really don't know how to repay you.”
It was enough if she just married him.
Of course, with Kang De's status, he could not say this as if nothing had happened.
After all, he was a kind and upright pure man.
Therefore, Kang De waved his hand and said, “Let's talk about repayment in the future.”
The princess nodded seriously. “Yes, I'll definitely repay you.”
She looked completely serious and did not look like she was talking politely.
Kang De did not take it to heart. He snapped his fingers. “Then let's talk about my plan again… I know how to fake the ruins of the ancient civilization, but the most important problem is not this.”
The princess asked, “What is it?”
Kang De pointed into the distance. “We don't know when that ship can set sail. Once it starts to sail and discovers the Penguin, everything will be over. We'll be very passive.”
“Therefore, what we have to do is to play some small tricks and attract all the attention of the elves to this island, letting them believe that the Goethe people are all hidden here until they carefully search and find the prehistoric ruins we prepared for them.”
Knight asked, “What do we do?”
Kang De replied, “We have to ambush them, mislead them, surprise them, and anger them. If I'm not wrong, they should split into many teams to search the area. If we can deal with one of their teams, the other elves will definitely be very vigilant and make a wrong judgment.”
Cleveland looked at the magical animals around him. “Like last time?”
“It's not the same… After all, elves are stronger, right?”
Kang De said seriously, “We need bait to lure the elves to our trap… You said that Goethe has a blood feud with the elves, so if they see a Goethe man, these elves will probably be very wary and even attack. However, if they see a beautiful and noble lady in danger…”
The princess said firmly, “I understand… I'm willing to be the bait.”
The knight hurriedly said, “No! Your Highness can't take the risk!”
Tina said, “No, Knight. I'm also from Goethe. If it works…”
“My opinion is the same. Tina is weak and can't deal with unexpected situations. Not only does the person acting as the bait have to have a beautiful and weak appearance, but he also has to be powerful and capable of surprise attacks, as well as make a small sacrifice…”
Con looked at Cleveland and smiled meaningfully.
The most promising commander of Goethe suddenly felt the most intense chill in his life.
It was as if an abyss of malice was approaching.
