Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Kang De jumped onto the princess's horse and hugged Tina.

The beauty was in his arms, but it did not have any charm. Kang De rode his horse.

Tina struggled at first. In the end, she only cried. She only muttered and apologized.

How many people had died along the way?

Dying under the fire of the elves was considered sacrificing their lives for the country, but what was it to die in the hands of human nobles and family friends?

She fell into extreme self-blame and sorrow.

She also attributed all of this to her responsibility.

Kang De clamped the horse's abdomen and made it run faster.

He did not know how to comfort Tina.

He felt a ball of fire burning in his heart, becoming stronger and stronger.

He would go to the dock, go to the ship, and make these idiots pay the price!

Kang De knew the way. He said, "If you follow this path, it's…"

His voice stopped.

After turning around the road, his vision was wide. From here, he could see the coast and the dock. It was night now and he could not see it originally, but now… he could see it.

He could see the dock, the coast, and the burning… ship.

The knight cried out, "Penguin!"

The Goethe people felt as if they were in an ice cave.

Without a word, Kang De took out his binoculars and focused. It was the Penguin. The mast, canvas, and hull were filled with raging flames. No one could be seen on the deck. He saw huge holes in the hull and even begin to tilt. He even saw boxes slide into the sea in the cabin.

There were even his boxes.

It was unexpected but reasonable. With Viscount Samuel's shrewd methods, how could he not consider the variables of the Penguin? He must have prepared and ambushed in advance.

As for the crew of the Penguin…

Kang De clenched his fists and took a deep breath. "We can't go to the docks. Let's turn…"

Cleveland said, "Head Maid Bedolla can't stop him for long. Moreover, he has help… Lost went to the capital. In just a few years, he has become very terrifying. Even we can't resist him."

He stopped his horse and said to the princess, "Your Highness, this is the worst situation. Please decide."

Tina looked at Cleveland through teary eyes.

The knight lowered his head and said, "It's my incompetence that can't protect Her Highness. I can only let you rush to the danger alone. Forgive me for my rudeness, but please immediately activate the Eternal Peace Protection Necklace and teleport away. It will send you to the safest place. Most importantly, it can inform the Sword Saint and let her sense that you're in danger and speed up to meet you and better protect you… We can only do this."

He said, "Please move quickly. Although you have to walk the next part of the journey yourself, you have the Eternal Peace Protection and are also an outstanding mage. As long as you remain vigilant and remember the lesson tonight, don't believe it easily or take risks. You'll definitely be able to wait for the Sword Saint."

Kang De hesitated and said, "I have a way…"

"Kang De, believe me, don't underestimate Lost," the knight said. "It's the best choice to leave with the teleportation function of Eternal Peace Protection… Please."

Kang De was silent. Then, he took off his backpack and took out a few weapons and medicine. Then, he handed the backpack to Tina. "I taught you how to use a gun. There's food, drink, and self-defense weapons inside."

Tina hesitated. "Then you…"

Kang De smiled. "Believe me, I have many more."

Tina bit her lip.

She thought of the people of the Iron Fist Bane, Sister Bedolla, Captain Oswald, and many, many people who had sacrificed themselves. Although the road ahead was difficult, and even if activating the teleportation meant that she would go alone, she did not hesitate too much… Now, the hesitation was a form of willfulness and an insult.

She said, "Alright."

"I'll go. I'll meet up with my aunt and bring her to save you…" Tina held back her tears and said, "Knight, Kang De, you must be fine. Wait for me…"

The knight smiled and said, "Forgive me for being rude, Your Highness. If you leave, Kang De and I might be safer. Therefore, don't worry, please be strong. I look forward to reuniting with you. I hope to see an even stronger good princess at that time."

Tina looked at Kang De again. "Kang De, I'm sorry. If I hadn't invited you to the continent…"

Kang De forced a smile. "It's fine. I wanted to come. Hurry up and move."

Tina looked at Kang De. She had a thousand things to say, but time was precious now, and her heart was in a mess. The girl bit her lip and said softly, "You must… be fine."

She held the necklace in front of her chest, hugged her backpack and staff, and closed her eyes to communicate.

"We have to move on."

Cleveland said, "Communication with the Eternal Peace Protection will take some time before the princess can teleport away. Before that, we have to stall for time…"

At this moment, a golden light flashed behind them. Knight Lost's figure appeared in his vision again.

This meant one thing.

Kang De said coldly, "I want him to die in pain and despair."

The knight said, "I'll block it. Kang De, leave with the princess."

"What nonsense." Kang De glanced at Tina. "How long does she need?"

Cleveland said, "A short while will be enough."

"Then that's it!" Kang De patted the horse. "Run! If he catches up, kill him!"

The two of them carried the princess and galloped.

Suddenly, the wind behind him rustled. Kang De turned around and cursed, "Not again!"

Knight Lost threw his sword again.

Kang De observed the path of the flying sword and planned to block it again. However, when he saw it clearly, he could not help but curse, "He's learning!"

The sword tore through the air and attacked extremely quickly. It was not aimed at the person on the horse, but at the horse!

With a scream, the horse's abdomen was pierced, tearing open a huge crack. It ran more than ten steps forward and fell to the ground. Kang De jumped up with the princess in his arms and landed on the ground.

Cleveland jumped to the ground. "Use mine!"

Kang De shook his head and placed the princess on the ground. "Is she almost done?"

Cleveland studied it for a moment. "It's about time."

Kang De pulled out his flying axe and hung the pistol. He checked his equipment and drank a bottle of Agility Potion and a bottle of Intelligence Potion to max out his condition.

"Let's deal with him."

Cleveland said seriously, "Don't underestimate him, and don't fight."

"I know. He has reinforcements. As soon as Tina leaves, we'll retreat." Kang De twisted his axe. "Give me some time and I can bury their family clearly."

Knight Lost had arrived.

He looked at the two of them who were waiting solemnly and saw Tina's back. "What's this for?"

Kang De said, "I'll kill you before leaving. It's more carefree."

Lost shook his head and said, "I've had enough of your vulgarity and arrogance. It's time to teach you a lesson and let you know the difference between a lowly commoner like you and me…

With a flash of sword light, it ran toward Kang De's face.

With the enhancement of medicine, Kang De's physical fitness was even better than before. His extremely high dynamic vision captured this sword, and his increasingly nimble reaction speed made him swing his axe to block. With a clang, the axe struck the sword. The web between his thumb and forefinger was slightly numb, but in the next moment, the tip of Lost's sword instantly changed direction and swept toward Kang De's wrist.

Kang De reacted extremely quickly and immediately retracted his hand to dodge, but the other party's sword followed like a tracer. He could only take a wrong step back. Lost continued to attack. At this moment, Cleveland rushed in from the side and fought with Lost. Sword shadows surged, and the battle aura flashed.

Kang De's expression turned ugly.

This instant of battle made him realize something.

With the enhancement of the medicine and the strengthening of the crystals, in terms of pure physical fitness, he could compare to these powerful warriors who had trained for a long time and cultivated battle aura, but the difference in technique could not be made up for.

The other party had cultivated and fought since he was young and trained with killing as his goal.

Lost's voice sounded. In the battle with Cleveland, he could actually speak with ease, "I see. A lowly commoner is still a lowly commoner. I saw you easily kill a few knights and thought I was wrong. But now, it seems that you don't know any martial techniques at all. You're simply trash among trash. Why? Are you unconvinced? Attack me with your trash companion?"

Kang De was furious.

However, it only lasted for an instant.

He had a characteristic that should have been nurtured on the island.

The angrier and more excited he was, the calmer he became.

The sense of defeat only existed for a short while before disappearing.

He did not go up to participate in the battle.

This was because he understood that close combat was his weakness. If he rashly joined the battle, he would only distract Cleveland. The knight even had to take care of him.

However, this did not mean that he could not do anything.

Kang De stabbed the fire axe into his back and pulled out the pistol and nail gun.

The gun was aimed at Knight Lost.

As expected, Lost's movements froze, and then his figure changed even faster, entangled with Cleveland, and tried his best to cover himself with the knight's figure. Kang De smiled coldly and raised the muzzle slightly.

Bang.

The bullet swept higher.

However, the two knights heard the sharp wind that tore through the air.

This was a declaration, a threat.

Cleveland's attack did not decrease, but Knight Lost's attention was diverted. He had to take a minute or two to guard against Kang De and the shot that was drawn but not fired.

At this moment, something happened on Tina's side.

A black halo suddenly flashed.

Space shattered and overlapped. The princess looked up at Kang De as if she wanted to say something, but in the next moment, her figure disappeared.

Kang De and Cleveland heaved a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Lost was first stunned, then lost his composure for the first time. He said sternly, "Where did the princess go?"

…
