Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The three of them and the carriage shuttled through the ruins of the battlefield.

So far, this legion with the stone heart as its name had been completely annihilated. The organized counterattack and resistance no longer existed. Only a few fleeing soldiers and seriously injured people had not stopped breathing.

The commander of the Stone Heart Legion gathered the subordinates who had not lost their fighting spirit. They were the remaining army composed of personal guards, arrow regiment soldiers, and a small number of rangers. They launched the last charge.

Then, they were all killed by the crossfire formed by the six Shilka self-propelled high-tech cannons.

23mm high-explosive tracer incendiary bombs were theoretically the highest firing speed of 4,000 bullets per minute. Even without enchantment, six were not something defensive spells and enchanted armor could resist. The last elves naturally knew this, but their last battle was not meaningless.

It was not to kill anything but to prove something.

At this moment, the battlefield was already silent. There was only the sound of flames burning corpses. A few injured and hidden assassins were still hiding in the mud stained with flesh and blood. The gorilla and Sword Saint Snowfall had sharp divine senses and paid attention to all the movements, prepared to kill at any time.

The three of them and the car were searching the battlefield and what Kang De wanted.

The enemy was completely wiped out, but the valuable spoils of war were not all smashed by the 120mm howitzer. They were still valuable to loot. The most eye-catching and valuable were clearly the three heavy magic devices.

The elves were not a pure cold weapons army. Although they did not walk the technology line of Earth, their development and deep farming of magic and magic made their combat strength far surpass the army of the era of cold weapons on Earth and even approach the era of World War I.

For example, after being bombarded by the howitzer, they did not waver and disperse. Instead, they counterattacked with firepower at an extremely fast speed, and their tactical response was extremely effective… Unfortunately, they encountered an unreasonable opponent.

Kang De could move with the howitzers.

However, even so, the ferocious counterattack of the Stone Heart Legion still brought Kang De a lot of trouble.

The enemy commander seemed to be very good at and valued the long-range fire suppression effect of the magic devices and the mage army. Moreover, he could command them as if they were his arms and reacted extremely quickly. If not for the fact that Kang De could hide in the white fog world with the howitzers and maneuver away, he would probably have been covered and hit by the enemy's long-range attack after firing four rounds at most.

There were three heavy magic devices, and every effect was extremely powerful.

A cold current that could condense and guide the sky turned into a frost breath that blew down and froze the ground at an extremely fast speed. This was the great enemy of modern weapons made of metal.

The other could condense electric charge in the air and form a high-intensity lightning pool. This was very fatal to electronic equipment and extremely threatening to weapons and ammunition.

The last one could trigger an earthquake from afar through magic enhancement resonance.

These "otherworld cannons" sounded the alarm for Kang De.

The reason why modern weapons on Earth were powerful was that they could launch attacks that the enemy could not dodge in places that the enemy could not reach. However, they were not perfect and indestructible. Or rather, they were actually extremely fragile. Modern war was already a systematic confrontation. The invincible main battle tanks would be queued up by heavy helicopters to open cans. The helicopters were the younger brothers of an air defense system that integrated cannons… These powerful modern weapons cycled and countered each other. None of them could be missing. Moreover, the higher and sharper the equipment, the more precious it was.

Those killing weapons were invincible and powerful, but they were limited by the physical performance and user of the material. Low temperature, electric current, flames, storms, strong magnetic field, and even a ditch could defeat them.

These powers that came from nature could happen to be controlled by spells from the other world.

The magic technology of the elves was the best in the other world.

They would discover it sooner or later.

Therefore, he could not satisfy the current situation…

He first put the three heavy magic devices into the white fog world.

The two magic devices that summoned frost and batteries were struck by the howitzer head-on and were almost smashed to pieces, revealing various magic patterns and material structures that were even more complicated than integrated circuits. However, a portion was intact and might be useful.

The one that guided the earthquake was intact. It looked like a pillar, or rather, it looked like a relatively large and classy earth pump. The four-sided alchemical mechanical structure was anchored to the ground, and the totem pillar engraved in the center slid up and collided down. Its strength transmitted a resonance that could trigger a distant earthquake.

Elven technology was shocking.

However, the mages controlling the magic devices were also beaten to death. There was no manual and he did not know how to use it, but it did not matter. In the previous battle, he had extracted an alchemist. Magic technology was by analogy. It was not impossible to use it. Next, he would let Little Bob enjoy it.

"I found it." Hillmelia said.

She dragged out a tattered arcane vest from the pile of rotten meat. It was specially used by mages to store potions, scrolls, and other combat items and pulled out scrolls from it.

"The elves led the magic revolution. They were also the first to propose the concept of battlefield magic. Through magic devices, magic arrays, and group spell formations, the power or range of spells will double, so as to complete a fixed high-power spell attack or a large-scale spell effect. This will be useful on the vast battlefield."

"On the battlefield where thousands of soldiers are gathered, mental spells are the most useful, because the most terrifying killers on the battlefield are their chaotic allies."

"Release the Bloodthirsty Violence Technique at the enemy's rearguard and the Fear Technique at the enemy's vanguard, depriving the enemy's spear formation defense line of their intelligence… All kinds of tactics have been tried."

She froze the flesh and blood on the scroll into ice dregs, shook them off, and handed them to Kang De, "They made a fortune through these spells, so when developing various uses, they also take the method to crack and defend very seriously. For example, this scroll is a group clearance spell that disperses mutated mental interference and calms the mind of the subject."

Kang De unfolded the scroll. The Fire Thief's ability allowed him to see the special element diagram on the scroll. The structure was extremely complicated, but he did not want to memorize it and only saw the general characteristics clearly.

His mental strength activated and extended. He opened his eyes and saw that the world had changed.

Then, he found a new scroll from the flesh and corpses on the ground.

The mages had a way to disperse mental spells, but the situation of the battle was urgent and critical. Sometimes, they could not cast it in time, so more convenient scrolls were the first choice. These various scrolls used to disperse negative states and negative terrain must be in the hands of every officer.

Kang De recognized the types of these scrolls.

In the previous four wars, he had also collected many spoils of war. However, time was tight. These things were all piled up like a mountain in the white fog world, and he did not have the time to sort them out.

If there was a need, he could find it.

"The changing situation of the battlefield depends on the judgment and decisions of the middle and lower-level officers. Mind interference and interference against a specific target can also determine the direction of a war. Therefore, the elf officers have more protection, especially the higher the rank, the more carefully protected they are."

Hillmelia pulled out another talisman that was still attached to something.

"…"

Kang De took it and extracted the excess things. He also observed the composition of the elements of this talisman and did not discover any curse, damage, darkness, or other gloomy elements.

Hillmelia looked at the deformed corpse on the ground and sighed.

"He must be the commander of this legion. He's a soldier who enjoys a noble reputation in the Twilight Dynasty. He looked like this after death. We don't even know his name."

As a native of the other world, Sword Saint Snowfall would sigh like this after being influenced by the Goethe knight culture.

Kang De said calmly, "Why should I know? Even if I know his name, so what? Every one of the tens of thousands of elves who died here has a name. Unfortunately, no one will ever know."

"…That's true."

Sword Saint Snowfall turned her gaze back to the necklace.

"Sanctuary."

"What?"

Hillmelia said, "The names of this batch of talismans came from the Empress's instructions."

Empress…

Kang De looked dazed for a moment. The face of the elf appeared in his mind.

The next time they met, they would be enemies.

He took this talisman and Hillmelia helped find a few more and stuffed them into his hand.

"Thank you," Kang De said. "You seem to be very good at this."

Sword Saint Snowfall smiled, "The craftsmanship of the War God City, appraisal and valuation. If you don't want to exchange a treasure necklace with a legendary past for a few gold coins, it's best to learn it."

Kang De nodded, then looked west. "I'm afraid Red Maple City is not far away."

"Yes… it's not far," Hillmelia muttered. "I hope I can make it in time."

"I can definitely do it."

Kang De said, "Hurry up and rest. The closer we are, the more anxious we can't be. The enemy's resistance is getting stronger and stronger. We have to maintain our full state… Then, be more careful."

Of course, the dignified Sword Saint Snowfall did not need Kang De to explain this. She looked at him with trust in her eyes that she did not notice and even relied on.

"Although it's very embarrassing to say this…" She said softly, "I'm counting on you."

"At this point, it's an outsider to say this," Kang De replied. "Bring the beacon and arrive under Red Maple City. Then, I'll stop all of this or end it."

The Sword Saint sighed softly, "Valentine's repeat? If the expeditionary army is completely destroyed, then…"

She really did not know how the Twilight Dynasty would react if all the elf expeditionary army died under the forbidden curse. Would they submit? No, this expeditionary army could not even be considered the main force of the elves. The greater possibility was that after encountering such heavy casualties, their prestige and honor would be shaken. Instead, the elves would continue this war at all costs until Goethe was completely destroyed and this humiliation was washed away.

Kang De said, "Tomorrow has its own worries. There's no need to worry today. Let's resolve today's worries first… Just as you said, leave everything to me."

"…Yes."

"Then I'll leave first."

Kang De bade farewell to the gorilla.

The two of them watched Kang De and Horus leave.

In the white fog world, his iron son said, "Father, it was not easy to fight that battle just now."

Kang De's expression was as calm as water. "I know."

There were at least 100,000 Twilight elites gathered under Red Maple City, and they were not inferior to the Stone Heart Legion.

Since the expeditionary army dared to launch another surprise attack, they were naturally prepared for Kang De to enter. Although the power of the mass projection was abnormally great, it was a military attack. If the enemy set up a killing formation and targeted him personally, how should he deal with it?

"Let's go and see what else we can borrow."

Kang De looked at the howitzer and self-propelled cannon in the white fog space, as well as the magic devices and alchemical machinery. He said indifferently, "If not, I'll go to the French military base to collect some recent interest."

He snapped his fingers and returned to Earth.

Under the bright moonlight, he returned to the civilian convoy that had attacked Moroni. The people inside were still knocking on the door or stepping on the accelerator, but they could only be useless and furious.

Kang De thought for a moment. His mental strength seeped out and activated the scroll.

However, it was not a group dispersion spell.

A breeze blew through the sky, and a dark cloud quietly dissipated.

The clear starry sky was scattered with bright moonlight. Through the spreading dark clouds, wisps sprinkled on the ground. The surrounding sky was still dark, except for the moonlight that flowed like a curtain of light falling from the sky. It poured around the civilian cars and sprinkled on Kang De.

This was really not showing off.

He only gave a reasonable reason to come into contact with mind control.

He could not say that he had brought a Group Dispel Scroll from the other world—of course, it was because the pity and love in his heart had touched the ancient spirit that the Comorians worshiped. The protection of the Eagle God turned into moonlight and fell from the sky, removing the mind control of these pitiful people. As for how he did it, he did not know.

Therefore, the people who were struggling hard woke up one by one.

Then he cried out in surprise, then confusion, and then tears.

"One by one! One by one! Line up! Take off your clothes! Don't make me say it a second time!"

Moroni's temporary official brought the National Guard to deal with these controlled compatriots. To be safe, they had to be carefully checked. He even had to let them take off their coats and pants to show that they were not carrying any dangerous explosives. Moreover, before the matter was over, he had to place them alone or even put them under house arrest. However, these were not things Kang De needed to do.

According to the confessions of a few people who had recovered their senses, they were residents of the town near the airport. A group of white people came to the town, and every one of them had dull and strange eyes. The person in the lead held a golden ball. They saw a golden light, so a voice sounded in their hearts.

Then, they could not remember anything.

"I'm going to kill Little Bob and snatch that thing back."

…
