Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"In the battle to siege and defend the continent, the most important thing is the spells, followed by the city wall."

"The city wall can protect the city, resist magic, station soldiers, and give a good view. It is the core of attack and defense, the foundation of victory."

Kang De and Hong San sat on the ground.

Hong San slowly said, "Although the elves are better than humans, Valentine has the advantage of a solid city. A solid city wall forged with special materials and skills can defend against magic vibrations. Coupled with the help of the mages, the elves' spellcasting troops can't unleash the power to destroy and determine victory."

He used the wooden stick to draw simple and easy-to-understand diagrams and signs on the ground.

"Limited to the strength of the city wall and the obstruction of the human mages, the elf mages can't destroy the city wall. The Dusk Legion has long-ranged raided here and did not bring any heavy siege weapons, so the situation changed to the situation that the elf commander did not want to see the most. All kinds of tricks are useless and can only attack forcefully."

"However, even if we attack head-on, the elves still have a huge advantage. The soldiers are powerful, the equipment is excellent, and the morale is extremely high. They're a powerful force that sweeps through the world. The garrison of Valentine is only a third-rate army. Even if Mayor Nick is long prepared and recruited many capable people, it's very difficult to close this gap."

At this point, he paused. After all, Mayor Nick had not only recruited "talented people".

However, this silence only lasted for an instant. Hong San immediately continued, "For example, in this siege, the elves consumed many spellcasters' magic power last night and produced five war puppets. You saw the bitter battle today. The elf soldiers went straight to the city wall from the wooden puppets. Wherever they went, they destroyed everything."

"If not for the fact that the width of the battlefield is too small and the soldiers are willing to risk their lives to protect their home, coupled with the fact that even if the most elite troops under the mayor rush to help, within 15 minutes of the wooden puppet approaching the city wall, the elves will completely seize the city wall and turn it into defense according to this place. They will continuously transport the soldiers outside the city to the city wall to start and carry out the next step of the attack."

"In fact, even if we're blocked by a powerful force after we reach the city, the elves still have a huge advantage. Their soldiers' morale is like a rainbow. Although the garrison of Valentine is brave, sooner or later, their morale will collapse and there will be casualties. I stayed on the city wall earlier and paid attention to the casualties. The exchange comparison was tragic."

"Therefore, when the three wooden puppets built the city wall, the fall of Valentine was already a foregone conclusion."

Hong San's tone was a little serious and hesitant as if he was thinking of the tragic scene when the city was broken. Since ancient times, war had always been evil, "But no… why?"

Kang De said shamelessly, "It's because of me."

"That's right," Hong San agreed shamelessly. "You saved the people of this city."

Although this was indeed the truth to a certain extent, one of these two Easterners did not know what humility was, one did not know what subtlety was, and one dared to say and one dared to brag. The scene was a little strange.

Hong San said seriously, "Who provided Valentine with a large number of enchanted arrows and spears, allowing the city defense army to easily defeat the officer suicide team sent by the elves and shatter their plan to quickly defeat the troops and expand the width of the battlefield?"

"It's you."

"Who repaired the extremely completely damaged Catapult No. 5 and returned the firepower advantage in the battlefield area? Not only did they destroy a wooden puppet, but they also suppressed the elves' projection team until they did not dare to shoot with all their might?

"It's you."

"Who did not dodge the arrows and personally went to the battlefield? Not only did they suppress the elf defense line, but they also used their powerful superpowers to destroy the wooden puppets one after another and chase the elves down the city wall to recover their advantage in defending the city?"

"It's you."

"Who set up an ambush in advance and made it break into the battlefield at the critical moment? Just a few dozen cavalries caused absolute chaos, causing the elf army to be in chaos and suspicious? Then, they took the opportunity to destroy the last wooden puppet and greatly dampened the morale of the elves, causing them to hurriedly retreat and obtain victory?"

"It's you."

Even with Kang De's skin, he could not stand such serious flattery. He was not humble. The appearance of the green-skinned motorcycle army was really unexpected.

Kang De waved his hand. "This is the last one. The green-skinned have nothing to do with me."

Hong San exclaimed, then revealed a disappointed expression, "Is that so?"

Kang De said in a subtle tone, "…My image is already glorious enough. It's fine not to brag about this."

"Yes, ah, no!"

Hong San first instinctively agreed, then he immediately shook his head. "No, no, no. I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about the strange alchemical chariot that those green-skinned are riding. It has nothing to do with you?"

Kang De was puzzled, "This sounds a little complicated… What's wrong?"

Hong San revealed an excited expression, "If it's fine, it's best if you grab them too, as well as their tribe… Master, I've seen it earlier. The thing they're riding is too terrifying!"

"The power comes from some mechanism inside. I'm afraid it won't be tired or need to rest. It's extremely fast and far surpasses the beast warhorse. Moreover, it has incomparable endurance. Most importantly, this thing was actually created by a barbaric and crude race like the green-skinned… This means that it's definitely not too difficult!"

At this point, he had already half stood up, "This tank is enough to change the war pattern! It will even derive a brand new war form and matching battle tactic that can unleash mobility to the extreme. The meaning is not inferior to a cavalry group charge and a large-scale use by mages! Since there are two-wheeled tanks that can be ridden alone, they can definitely make four wheels! They can transport soldiers, resources, and even heavy weapons!"

Kang De looked at Hong San in a daze.

Hong San was originally talking nonsense, but when he saw Kang De like this, his tone subconsciously weakened and he even shut his mouth. He went from a confident speaker to a submissive slave.

He said weakly, "Master, I might not be right… but what if it's true?"

"No, you're right."

Kang De's tone was a little complicated, "I reckon it's very difficult to make those green-skinned things, but it's not difficult to make some with similar functions or even more durable."

Hong San revealed a surprised expression.

"So…"

Kang De looked at the other party and said seriously, "If such a war weapon really appears in this world, are you willing to try to rewrite the form of war?"

The experience and model of Earth could not be directly moved to the other world. Without air control, no matter how strong they were, they were only living targets of the enemy's air force. Moreover, in the other world, there was magic. All forms of war were built and innovated around magic.

Even if he could run rampant on Earth and break through like a hot knife through butter, when he arrived in the other world, a mage could immediately dumbfound the armored troops with a swamp spell… unless he had a mage on his side.

Or the tracks or other parts of the tank had been processed by some enchantment method.

Therefore, when Earth's advanced combat techniques were brought to the other world, they needed a brand new modified theory to support and perfect them to adapt to the situation in the other world… If Kang De decided to do this, he had to resolve this problem first.

When Hong San heard Kang De's words, he jumped up in fear and waved his hand, "No, no. I'm only talking nonsense. Someone who can do this must be a figure like a War Saint. How can I…"

Kang De glared at him and said, "So what if he's a War Saint? War Saints are also humans, not born with knowledge. Their abilities are also learned and cultivated. Could it be that they were born with the ability to fight?"

Hong San whispered, "He's also a peerless genius. He's like the moon in the sky. I'm just a little spark."

Kang De said angrily, "How many years ago was your War Saint from?"

Hong San thought for a moment. "Almost 2,000 years."

Kang De said, "Is he better than you?"

Hong San said without thinking, "Of course! Who do I think I am? I only learn his military books…"

Kang De rolled his eyes at him. "Think about it again! If he appears here out of thin air, won't you be able to defeat him with the same troops as him?"

Hong San was about to say that he naturally could not defeat him, but the next moment, he was stunned and lowered his head to think.

He then muttered, "If the War Saint was born in the modern world, he would probably only use the ancient method to set up camp and set up an array. He doesn't know the profundity of using cavalry or the use of equipment. Therefore, if the two armies immediately fight, he'll probably be defeated by me. However, with his peerless talent and intelligence, he'll definitely quickly understand the profundity of the current military strategy. In three months at most, I can only throw away my armor and escape…"

"I have reservations about the last sentence."

Kang De said, "However, the previous words are right. We respect the ancient sages. It's not that their skills are shocking, so much so that it's difficult for future generations to surpass them, but that they're still expanding and advancing in an even more ignorant and primitive environment. They're expanding their lineage and opening the mountains for future generations. The current doctors are definitely stronger than the previous ones, and the current craftsmen are definitely stronger than the previous ones. However, this is not because we're very powerful. It's only the accumulation of experience and inheritance over generations. It's just that the ancient peerless talent sages were born in an earlier and worse era."

He reached out and pressed Hong San's shoulder, saying seriously, "Why should I look down on myself? How do I know that I'm not a wise man in the eyes of future generations? The War Saint is also a human. Just like you, his military book, his school, and his wisdom were definitely not born by heaven. He also became a War Saint through accumulation, learning, and summary."

Hong San muttered, "Is that so?"

Kang De said with certainty, "Of course."

Hong San looked at Kang De, his eyes changing and his lips trembling.

However, in the next moment, he squatted back on the ground and hugged his head, "No, no, no. I can't imagine a person like me being worshiped in the War Temple…"

Kang De jumped up and slapped his head. "Do you want me to get the green-skinned to build a War Temple with feces and mold a feces statue for you to pray and worship every day?"

Hong San was shocked, "Ah?"

Kang De said fiercely, "If you don't enter the War Temple, just wait to enter the Feces Temple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Heaven Slash roared, "Great Tyrant! Do you have any use for me?"

Kang De and Hong San were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other. Regardless of the distance, could the green-skinned man hear them? They had spoken in Chinese, which was Cathayan, just now.

After all, it was his mother tongue and was easier to express.

How did the green-skinned hear it?

Kang De turned around and asked in Chinese, "You can understand me?"

In the distance, the green-skinned scratched his face. "What is the Great Tyrant talking about? I don't understand. I'm unhappy. I don't understand the Great Tyrant's words. I also want to understand…"

When Kang De heard this, he immediately changed to the other world's language, "Alright, alright, it's fine."

Due to the fact that his iron son had suddenly been thought of by the orcs to master a foreign language in his communication with the green-skinned, the orc thought that the probability of him suddenly knowing Chinese still existed… Considering that the outcome of this ability had always been messy, it was better not to let it know.

Otherwise, if this burly green-skinned creature opened its mouth and said something like, "What a pity…"

It was too f*cking terrifying.

However, how should he translate the term Great Tyrant? He was a little concerned about this…

This thought only flashed through his mind. He glanced at Hong San and smiled at the green-skinned, "I heard that you like to use feces to build some statues?"

When the green-skinned heard this, it said excitedly, "That's right, that's right! We cherish it! Great Tyrant, we've all thought about it. We'll make you a super statue later! No! We have to make many!"

With a puff, laughter came from Hong San beside him.

Kang De's face instantly darkened—you really f*cking plan to do this!

He said sternly, "No!"

Heaven Slash was first stunned, then he revealed a wronged expression like a child who had been ordered to stop his favorite game. He did not even dare to protest or give up. A burly green-skinned man whispered like a meek wife, "Why…"

Kang De revealed an unreasonable expression. "In short, no! Using feces as a statue! No! I don't like it! It's a bad culture!"

Heaven Slash felt even more aggrieved. In fact, his emotions visibly fell. Even the surrounding green-skinned who were drunk put down their food and wine with depressed expressions.

How much did these guys like to use feces as statues?!

The green-skinned creature secretly glanced at Kang De and whispered, "But we indeed want to make ourselves look like Great Tyrants. We're happy to see them every day. We're happier than fighting!"

Kang De thought for a moment and said, "Do you look like a statue? That's not me at all! Why don't I take a photo of myself, print out a huge photo, frame it, and make a hundred and eighty of them? You can take them back and hang them everywhere. This way, I can watch you at any time—is that okay?"

There was no evidence, and the orcs did not know what the photo was. Kang De immediately took out his phone and pulled out the very flashy selfie he had taken when he first put on the armor he had borrowed from the Goode family. At that time, he was very bored and even photoshopped the background. He looked very dignified. "This is it."

Heaven Slash jogged over to take a look and nodded, "This is good! However, it's not good enough! It's not domineering enough! It's not ferocious enough! It's not strong enough! I want something even more awesome! It's bigger!"

Kang De patted his chest and said, "No problem!"

It was only a matter of photoshop. At most, he would find an expensive movie studio to take a few sets and find an online shop to print and frame them. He would only be treated as a chuunibyou and a narcissist.

Compared to the ultimate world-class smelly game that the green-skinned made statues everywhere, that small problem was not a problem at all…

The green-skinned were happy again. Kang De immediately looked at Hong San with ill intentions and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to use feces."

Heaven Slash was excited again when he heard this, "Really?"

"Really… but it can't be mine!" Kang De said. "You can make someone else's! For example, if anyone makes me unhappy, you can make many statues of this person and scold him every day for dying a horrible death. If he gives birth to a son without an anus, he can turn into a woman the next day and grow things like *beep*. You can even build a temple and specially make idiots I don't like into it. You can spray feces and pee at them every day… Then, you can take photos, replicate and print countless copies, and send them back to the human world, scattering them everywhere."

How should he put it? He did not expect the green-skinned to be able to do this. It was definitely not realistic to think that a group of green-skinned could turn a person into a woman or directly curse him to death. It was a very obvious example. He, Kang De, was infinitely admired by these orcs who thought that he was super awesome, but he did not have a physical body that could become a saint or fly in the day. He had not even been strengthened out of thin air.

However, what if… it was useful?

Think about it. Then, the temple would consecrate feces sculptures that were Kang De's enemies. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, a large number of photos would be sent back to the civilized world. It would be a completely destructive blow to this person's reputation. How embarrassing would it be to be scolded by the orcs?

Look, even a person like Hong San was so frightened that his face turned green.

This guy also cared about something.

After sending the green-skinned back to continue eating and drinking, Kang De smiled at Hong San, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a demon after all. I won't let them scold you…"

—In other words, I'll only let them make your statue!

Hong San's eyes were extremely resentful.

Kang De patted his shoulder and said amiably, "If you don't want to do this, be obedient. Firstly, I'll assign you some homework. If there's a large number of green-skinned alchemical chariots that can even be ridden by green-skinned, can they play a huge role in the current battle? Let's try it out."

Hong San's eyes were as resentful as a little wife.

Kang De waved his hand and said, "Come, come, come. Continue. What should we do to defend the city?"

Hong San's tone was sad and he looked like he had nothing to live for, "Since you have a way to destroy the wooden puppet, the elves can either use tricks or still attack forcefully, but they definitely have to win by quantity so that you can't destroy them. I can't use the wooden puppet, but I can still make small scaling carts and siege weapons…"

Kang De asked, "Then?"

Hong San sighed, "Let's not talk about tricks. If the other party attacks forcefully, we can only defend forcefully. There's no other way. The quality of the soldiers is limited, so we can only start with sharp weapons. For example, the enchanted arrow you made yesterday, or…"

Kang De glanced at the tool son who had finally returned and said with certainty, "There are better weapons."

Hong San asked, "What?"

Kang De was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud bang, like a thunderclap. The two of them subconsciously turned around.

He saw a green-skinned sitting on the ground with a thick pipe in his hand. Remnant sparks fell, and faint black smoke appeared from the mouth of the pipe…

…
