Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

This was the most magnificent summer resort in Distant Harbor. It was a luxurious villa in the style of the Holy Empire’s revival era. It had 90 rooms and even had its own coastline. It was backed by the sea, and the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff gave this villa a romantic name. It belonged to the wealthy Tingston family.

This was one of the cultural imprints of Distant Harbor. It was famous in the entire Blue Wave Province and even Goethe. It even set a record for the city-a grand ball attended by a thousand people.

However, his illustrious reputation and glorious power had become a thing of the past tonight.

Just like the symbol of the Tingston Family, the oak tree that symbolized endless strength and indomitable spirit, which could be seen everywhere in the manor, was just a beautiful and illusory wish. The private coast that belonged to the Tingston Family and no ships or fishermen were allowed to pass by had already openly sailed into the five single-masted fast boats. The illumination spells fired from the boats illuminated the entire sea.

The escape route by sea had been blocked.

At the gate of the manor, the light of spells shone brightly, and the low sound of arrows piercing through the air was endless. Accompanied by shouts and screams, the private army, guards, and mercenaries who had been hurriedly mobilized were scattered.

They might be like gods in suppressing laborers and hunting down thieves, but they were as insignificant as ants against the main force of the Royal Elven Navy. This was the absolute difference in tactics, morale, equipment, and so on.

” We’ve defeated the enemy’s outer defenses. We’re advancing.”

Flare after flare shot into the manor, and the slowly falling long-lasting cold light source shone on the gorgeous villa like stars, as well as the figure who was fleeing in the darkness.

A fatal arrow caught up from behind and pierced the heart of the timid person.

A black wave swept through the door. In this bloody and fiery night, the black cloak was already equal to death and disaster.

” Hunters, chase after the fleeing soldiers. Clean up the periphery of the manor and accelerate the advance. Breakthrough Attack Team, follow me. Minister Cordia, lead the Forest Patrollers to break through from the top floor. Sir Luteris, I need…”

The well-trained elite soldiers around him kept splitting up. The night wind blew against Brigadier General Cavisslon’s hood. He held a long-bladed spear, and five short spears made of explosive demon crystals were placed behind his back. Even his cloak could not hide his well-developed muscles. The highest commander of the elven fleet directly participated in this surprise attack.

After several hours of fierce battle, the traitors were caught one after another, and they confessed under the brutal interrogation of the soldiers of the fleets who had just experienced life and death and needed to vent their anger.

The huge amount of information was collected through the bracelet and integrated into Horus ‘MDT. The mechanical life would then summarize and compare the information, determine the authenticity, update the search list, and issue the arrest plan.

In this process, the combat concepts, personnel allocation, military technology, and even the personal qualities and personalities of the soldiers of the various countries ‘navies were clearly understood by the Transformers.

The Tingston family was a big fish dug out from this highly efficient disciplinary action. There was enough evidence to prove that this wealthy family from Distant Harbor had played an extremely disgraceful role in the riot.

For example, almost all of the ten or so small leaders who had confessed had worked or were working in the Tingston family’s property. The place where these thugs received their belongings and food was the private property of the Tingston family’s hired thugs. Even the identity of the Empire spy who secretly commanded the riot on the streets had been identified. More than one person had witnessed him being picked up by the Tingston family after arriving at the distant port.

Kant issued an arrest warrant after the evidence was conclusive.

Given that the Tingston family was a wealthy family in a faraway port, in this era, wealth and power were often linked. With the scale of the other party’s industry, their resistance would definitely not be weak.

Therefore, this mission was given to the Elven Navy.

After all, using a bomb to blow up this manor was really too easy for these bastards.

Kavisaron’s clear and steady voice echoed in the night sky, commanding and assigning tasks.

Horus ‘instructions were very clear.

The Tingston family was already at the top of the food chain in Distant Harbor. There was no bigger fish than this, so the order was clear-if they could not be captured alive, they would die a more painful death.

“Begin the operation!” The Brigadier General shouted,” You must capture all the members of the Tingston family alive!”

“General!” The hunter in charge of scouting had already returned with the latest news.” The rooms in the main part of the manor have been sealed, and the main door has been reinforced. The preliminary life detection shows that there are many resistance forces hidden inside, especially in the main hall. We…”

“Then we’ll attack the main gate!” Kavisar shouted.

Breaking into the area with the strongest defense with lightning speed could cut off the flow of people in the entire building and intimidate the resistance to the greatest extent. It could also share the pressure with the allies who broke in from other areas.

A whistling sound suddenly came from the manor not far away. This sound was an instinct carved into the elf’s soul. An elf archer drew his arrow and drew his bow at lightning speed. He took two steps forward and shot out an arrow, splitting the cold arrow from the third floor of the manor into two. The remaining force did not diminish as it poured into the narrow shooting hole.

Screams could be heard faintly.

That arrow seemed to be some kind of signal to attack. A hazy shadow flashed across the windows of the rooms in Tingston Manor, but the suppressive archers who had already spread out in their respective positions were already half-kneeling and waiting. Sharp arrows were fired furiously, easily beating these human archers until they could not raise their heads.

Cavisaron had already led his troops to the main entrance.

The elf observed the tightly shut door with a sharp gaze. There was even a thick steel plate placed outside the door. His Life Vision showed a red shadow behind the door. He sneered and said in a low voice,” Magic Archer Class, Dragon Breath Destruction Arrow. Heavy Armor Breakthrough Team, get ready.”

The twelve shooters immediately split into two rows. The front row squatted down and took out three arrows from the special quivers at their waists. The tip of these arrows was as sharp as a cone, and behind the tip of the cone was a red ring.

The hands wearing the deerskin archer gloves twisted the ring, making a light click. The fire element immediately filled the engraved magic circuits. The archers clamped the three arrows between their fingers and put them on the string.

“Three arrows in a row, full bow, shoot!”

With a command, three arrows were shot out in a row. Thirty-six Dragon Breath Piercing Arrows were nailed onto the reinforced iron door. The sharp armor-piercing awls pierced into the thick steel plate, while the ring was blocked outside.

Four armorers with heavy shields stepped forward like ferocious tigers.

They formed two groups in front and behind, two by two, and dashed forward. They ran to the door and did not stop. The two shield guards in the front row raised their huge shields and collided with the tail of the Dragon Breath Piercing Arrow!

The two large shields slammed into the tails of the thirty-six special arrows.

It was like a violent hammer smashing into a shallow steel nail.

Even the specially made arrow shaft could not withstand this impact, but this was the design concept! The arrow shaft broke, and the carefully customized magic circuit immediately collapsed. The chain reaction advanced layer by layer, forming a blazing jet. Finally, it detonated the high-energy Dragon’s Breath and exploded forward!

With a loud boom, the resonance disintegration and distribution explosion instantly blasted open the iron plate and easily blew up the people supporting the door. Two heavy shield guards pushed the flames and fragments out of the luxurious hall, and two companions behind them rushed in and threw the alchemy medicine bottles in their hands!

A violent flash exploded in the air, like the sun blooming!

The strong light made all the ambushers close their eyes in shock. The four shield guards stood in position and pulled out the repeating crossbows behind their shields. As they moved forward, they pulled the triggers in all directions. The relatively less powerful repeating crossbows were coated with lethal poison. The shape of the crossbows had also been specially shot. When they broke through the air, they would let out a terrifying whistle. For the enemies whose vision was taken away by the strong light, such a sound would increase their panic!

“Don’t panic!”

A white halo suddenly bloomed, dispersing the strong light and calming the mind. A loud shout came from the second floor of the hall. Push them out! Block here…”

A dozen fully-armed warriors rushed out from the left and right corridors.

They were wearing light armor, holding swords, and covering their faces with wrist guards. They tried to attack from the side and cut down the four iron cans who could not move freely.

However, after a few steps, the light in the direction of the door was blocked, and the wind was fierce. Six figures leaped out from the heads of the shield guards, and the big swords in their hands rippled with a sea blue light under the illumination of the lights.

BlueEdge was a Great Swordsman, the main attacker of the Royal Elven Navy.

While maintaining the discipline of the warships, it was also used to break through the enemy’s formation.

In a boarding battle where the space for movement was narrow, it was difficult to move around, and it was impossible to form a formation, an elven two-handed swordsman who was wearing heavy woven wood armor and holding a two-handed greatsword was undoubtedly the nightmare of all enemy sailors, let alone a team of six.

In the battle that broke into the manor, it was this two-handed sword marine unit that rushed into the enemy’s formation under the long-range cover of the archer regiment. It was like a meat grinder that crushed all resistance.

Sword light flashed continuously, and the black-robed two-handed swordsman cut into the enemy’s group at the speed of four swords per second. Broken limbs soared into the sky, and blood splattered everywhere. Heads flew to the second floor, and the blood woke the archers on the second floor up from their dreams. They hurriedly shot arrows to reinforce them, but the third wave of attacks from the elves had already arrived!

One agile figure after another slid in through the broken door. The elven archers nimbly rolled and slid on the marble floor, borrowing strength from their arms and using their feet to draw their bows. They turned around and flew, shooting three arrows at once. Their black cloaks were like blooming dahlias, and the elven archers spun on the floor like spinning tops. Deadly arrows shot out in all directions like poisonous snakes. The archers and crossbowmen lying in ambush on the second floor kept falling!

In an instant, the solid defense that the Tingston family had set up at the main gate for a long time was easily broken by the elven navy. This was a comprehensive lag in terms of combat techniques, concepts, equipment, and soldiers.

The mages on the second floor who were responsible for organizing the defense saw that the situation was not good and turned to run.

Cavisaron strode in, flew up, and rushed to the second floor. The mages who ran to the corridor suddenly turned around. Flames appeared and gathered into a spear. The elven Brigadier General did not hesitate and charged forward with the spear.

The fire waves surged, and a cold light pierced through the blazing fire flow and spiraled. The black robe was burned by the scorching temperature, revealing its sturdy body. However, the scorching fire elements were suddenly dispersed by the sharp spear. The sharp spear tip was right in front of him, and the Lava Shield suddenly opened up, blocking the fatal edge.

In the light of the fire, the elf’s indifferent eyes and the mage’s long beard met.

“I know a little magic too.” The Brigadier General revealed a cruel sneer.” An elective course when I returned to the Royal Academy for further studies at the age of 300!”

Clenching his left fist, he struck out abruptly. Where his psyche was shaken, a little ice crystal quietly invaded. The weakest elemental connection point of the Lava Shield was invaded by a foreign element. The balance was broken, and a crack silently opened. Following that, a huge physical impact surged in, and the shield shattered!

The mage did not panic in the face of danger and instantly cast a spell. The spell turned into a stone spike that extended from the ground and suddenly stabbed at Cavissauron’s thigh. Then, he condensed fire elemental energy and tried to use the flame to obtain a pushing force.

In terms of battle tactics and spellcasting ability, he was already an extraordinary person.

However, he had only accepted the Tingston family’s high-paying magic consultant.

However, his opponent was the supreme commander of a main elven fleet.

Cavisaron turned his spear and stabbed downward. The spear shattered the stone spike and stabbed into the ground. The elf immediately released the spear, twisted his feet, and suddenly kicked forward. The force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas crashed forward and slammed into the mage’s body. The mage’s body shook violently, and his chest collapsed. The elf’s large hand grabbed his head and pulled him back like a doll. At the last moment of the mage’s life, he saw the spear’s tail getting closer and closer.

With a dull thud, the sharp tip of the spear opened the mage’s mouth and pierced through the back of his head. The dead body slid along the spear and fell to the ground. The elf roared and pulled out the spear. Blood spurted out in the opposite direction. He did not dodge, allowing the thick blood to spray all over his body and soak his black cloak.

Using the blood of their prey to bathe their entire body was a valiant ritual of the elven warriors.

“Tingston clan!” He roared.” The court is here! Give up resisting! His Highness Kant will be merciful and judge your fate! Otherwise, the traitor will give you the most painful death!”

Footsteps and cries rang out from all directions. There was also the soft sound of a blade piercing through and the sound of blood flowing. This famous manor that was famous for Goethe was bleeding tonight, and death lingered.

” The elven army has already invaded the manor.”

On the bridge of the Knight Afu, Kant placed his half-drunk iced cola aside. He was writing and drawing in a notebook. He looked up when he heard the voice.” I just went to the White Fog World. You said that they rejected your offer of fire support?”

“Yes.”

The camera switched to the distant view of the villa.

Even at night, the villa looked luxurious and magnificent.

“Brigadier General Cavisaron said that he doesn’t want this manor to be damaged too much. He wants to take it down completely as a gift to you,” Horus said.

Kant was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and laughed.

” Father,” the Transformers said doubtfully,” this elf is not a flatterer. I think his actions have a deeper meaning, but…” I don’t quite understand.”

The Earthling shook his head and said,” Simple. He doesn’t want your fire support. He has two goals. The first is to show off their strength and pride. It’s normal for them to regain some face.”

” Secondly, he probably wants to return the favor. The lower his attitude is now, even close to flattery. Then, once he thinks that he has repaid my favor, he will leave without hesitation. This is similar to your big data analysis. Among the three countries, only the elves have the most firm and uncorruptible attitude.”

“As expected,” he shrugged.

” But for a father, what’s hard to get is the best?” the Transformers laughed.

Kant rubbed his chin.” That’s not the only reason. To be honest, the military discipline and training of the elves are the best we’ve ever seen. They’re even the closest to the modern military system on Earth. Their willpower, physique, combat ability, and even obedience far exceed that of ordinary soldiers on Earth. I really want to see these pointy-eared elves equipped with our latest weapons and equipment blow up everything…”

Horus said,”I’ll be frank with you, Father. It’s not difficult…” Oh, it’s also quite difficult.”

“Shut up.”

Kant glanced at it from the corner of his eyes and thought for a moment. He looked at the elven soldiers entering and leaving Tingston Manor on the screen, and he suddenly laughed.

“It’s really not difficult.” He revealed a sly smile.” Aren’t they very loyal?”

In Tingston Manor, Brigadier General Cavisalong suddenly shivered.

“We caught Luentte!”

A joyful cry came from below. We’ve already captured the head of the Tingston family! There are also a number of family members who have surrendered!”

The elf commander heaved a sigh of relief.

“Sir Horus, we’ve achieved an initial victory,”he reported to his bracelet.

” Thank you for your brave battle. Elf, please take control of the scene and detain the relevant personnel for preliminary interrogation.”

“Yes.”

A few minutes later, the head of the Tingston family was brought before the Brigadier General.

It was said that when he was captured, this brave family head was still putting up a last-ditch resistance. However, his years of pampering had already abandoned the swordsmanship of his youth. The forest patroller who discovered him directly injured his wrist with a bowstring and removed his sword. After he was captured, the collapsed family members chose to surrender.

” Loente Tingston, you are suspected of colluding with the Empire and inciting a rebellion against His Highness Kant. The Rebel Suppression Society has been ordered to…”

“Bullshit!”

“You’re clearly elves!” The clan leader, whose face was flushed red and whose swordsman’s uniform was torn, cursed angrily. Court of Justice, my ass! Do you still have any honor as the lackeys of the Aurora people?”

Although these self-proclaimed executioners were all wearing black cloaks, their average height of 1.9 meters and their majestic bodies could not be hidden by the black cloaks. Only elves with abnormally developed physical functions would have such average physiques, not to mention that they did not hide their weapons at all.

All of them were f * cking standard equipment from Mu Yue.

Brigadier General Cavisaron said coldly,” Goethe people, how can you understand our loyalty and patience when you are so lowly and ugly? You are right. You can even betray your guardians…”

“I have no loyalty to him, so how can I betray him! He was just an outsider! Easterners! He harbored evil intentions! He wants to bring our country into an even more depraved abyss!

The massacre tonight was proof! Goethe was the Goethe of the Goethe people! It was not Kant’s Goethe! We are subordinates of the Empire! Our sect leader is the holy emperor!

The Empire will uphold justice for us!”

Luentte spat and roared.

“Just you wait! Elves! My son personally went to the capital of the Empire the day before yesterday to beg His Majesty to help Goethe escape from the control of the people of Aurora and return to the embrace of the Empire. You fallen elves who are willing to be Kant’s lackeys will also be punished by your parliament…”

The elves present went from confusion to shock, and from shock to amusement.

They looked at each other. Cordia shrugged.” Humans. Humans. The only thing that surprises me is their naivety and stupidity.”

“We were about the same age as him,” the chief mage said with a smile.

“I’m the leader of the Tingston family! His ancestor was a meritorious noble conferred by His Majesty the Emperor! Tingston is one of Goethe’s founding nobles. I demand the same treatment as my status! I…”

Cavisaron suddenly felt his interest wane and waved his hand.

Elf Dyat walked forward with a smile.

“Oh, is that so? Then you’re right.”

He reached out and lifted the bound human. He even pretended to bow.” Congratulations, respected master. His Highness Kant said that the punishment for nobles is tripled.”

He was dragged out as the other party cursed and struggled.

There was no need for the people present to do the interrogation.

“Didn’t he see that ship?” Cavisaron frowned as he listened to the curses that were getting further and further away.

In tonight’s arrest operation, they had seen all kinds of people. There were those who denied it, those who cried bitterly, those who wanted to see the archduke, and those who were scared out of their wits. However, this was the first time they had seen someone who did not know what was good for them.

It was very strange.

He had never seen a Forbidden Spell, so he did not have a real sense of Kant’s terror. However, the steel warship had descended from the sky. How shocking was that? How could the head of a great clan not be afraid?

” I’m not sure.” Dyatt returned with a smile.” He probably thinks the Empire has something bigger.”

The elves were all stunned, and then they laughed together.

However, as he laughed, he could not laugh anymore.

They knew that not only did the empire not have it, but the elves did not either.

But the most terrifying thing was…They knew that there was nothing bigger in the Empire or the Sunset Moon Empire.

However, they did not know if Kant had a bigger one.

Silent fear and worry grew, but these words could not be said.

Because Horus could hear their conversation.

“Take a rest. I’ll go and interrogate them to see if anyone has escaped.”

After all, they were just a bunch of defeated generals. They were far from reaching the decision-making level. Kant’s threat and hidden power were not something they had to worry about. They only needed to do their own things well.

“Let’s speed up. That shameless mad dog of the Empire is jumping very fiercely. We can’t let that human ride on our heads…Let’s see if we can get anything out of Luentte’s mouth.”

Kavisaron stood up.

The encirclement and suppression of the Tingston family had achieved a preliminary victory.

At the same time, the operation teams in various parts of Distant Harbor also launched a comprehensive clean-up of the family’s business. The capture operations in other routes were also carried out continuously, and the big fish revealed their tracks one by one.

At the same time, after a short rest, the follow-up combat teams of the three countries ‘fleets that had recovered their combat strength also continuously entered the distant port. Under the leadership of the old members, they launched a new round of search and capture.

The results of the interrogation, clues, and information were continuously gathered by Horus and compiled into a detailed report by Transformers.

The list grew longer and longer.

The sky was bright, and the sun was shining on the bloody scene. The sky above the city was still shrouded in dark clouds of anxiety. On the bridge of the Knight Astolford, Kant, who had been napping for a while, looked at the long list printed out. He picked up the red marker on the table.
