Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

320 We Are Professionals

The sun was bright, smoke spread, and blood flowed like a river. It was a cruel battlefield.

In the Hummer, Kang De leaned in the driver’s seat and closed his eyes to rest, breathing evenly.

There were some scratches scattered on the surface of the Hummer. At this moment, they were slowly disappearing. The wheels, chassis, and even the body of the car were sputtering and even solidifying with large pieces of blood as if they had collided from a slaughterhouse. The entire car was stained with a dense smell of blood.

Corpses were everywhere on the battlefield as usual, and blood flowed.

However, it was even more tragic, terrifying, and strange than the previous two battlefields.

If experienced scouts investigated this place after this, they would definitely come to a conclusion—there was only about a tenth of the flesh and blood on the battlefield, or even less.

Sword Saint Snowfall was adjusting her breath, and there were a few large water tanks beside the gorilla. They were all filled with clean water. She carried a large water tank and splashed water on the Hummer to rinse away the smoke and blood.

A moment later, water light floated out of the other water tanks. Sword Saint Snowfall had already rested and controlled a few water pillars to wash the chariot more efficiently and carefully.

As Hillmelia did this, she looked at Kang De in the car through the window.

In a sense, this guy could be considered her nephew-in-law. She knew that he was the person Tina had chosen and the Cathayan she could not forget. She did not know much about Kang De and most of them were dictated by Tina. Those were basically subjective beautifications of the person she liked and could not be taken seriously.

As for the Elves’ Destroyer, the Forbidden Spell Envoy, and the Eastern guests who deterred Twilight, those were too ethereal.

She usually only believed what she saw with her own eyes.

What was it that she had seen with her own eyes?

He did not hesitate to help Goethe and take on a decisive responsibility.

There were endless terrifying attacks that could annihilate an army alone.

Powerful, mysterious, decisive, and firm.

She had seen it with her own eyes.

He looked very tired.

He was very, very tired.

However, he did not dare to stop and rest.

He had done this for Goethe and Tina… No wonder everyone on the continent said that Tina was the happiest woman in the world.

If a man could do this for her, even she would be tempted.

However…

When Tina saw Kang De like this, she would definitely be in pain, blaming herself, and very sad.

“He’s in a very bad state.” Sword Saint Snowfall sighed and said to the gorilla, “Aren’t you going to care?”

The gorilla looked puzzled. “Aren’t I already doing it?”

“…What are you doing?”

The gorilla revealed an expression that seemed to say “You’re probably a fool.” She rolled her eyes and answered, “Help Kang De kill people and elves. What else can I help with? Kill a few more enemies for him and kill all the guys who angered him as soon as possible. If he saves Big Gold Hair, he’ll be happy and can rest.”

“…”

Sword Saint Snowfall was speechless.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the car. Through the car, the sound was reduced, but Sword Saint Snowfall still heard it. She turned and met Kang De’s quickly opening eyes.

It was covered in blood vessels. Exhaustion flashed past, replaced by sharpness and decisiveness.

Kang De pushed open the car door and got out. “Have you rested? Then let’s go.”

“Wait!”

Hillmelia said, “Kang De, I have something to tell you.”

Kang De asked, “What’s wrong?”

“About your state, Kang De, there’s something wrong with you now. Be it your current mental state or your continuous cruel methods… There’s a problem with your mind. This is a problem many warriors encounter. You need to guide and rest. Otherwise…”

Hillmelia saw that the gorilla did not seem to care at all and was completely indifferent.

She could only say it alone.

She was really not familiar with Kang De. Although she was technically an elder, she was not an ungrateful person, let alone an idiot who put on airs as an elder. In fact, it was not Kang De who was socially superior to Tedrell now, but Tedrell relied on him. He had traveled a thousand miles to help Goethe.

Therefore, some things were actually inconvenient to say.

However, she had to say it.

This was because Kang De’s mental state was really worrying.

As a member of the Tedrell family and a Goethe citizen, she thanked Kang De for his efforts and help. She could not watch him slide into the blood-colored abyss with a clear conscience.

However, after saying that, she was greeted by Kang De’s impatient expression, “Otherwise what? Is now the time to talk about this?”

Hillmelia was tongue-tied.

Yes, was this the time to talk about this? The people waiting for help were still her country and family.

“…No, I still have to say it,” Sword Saint Snowfall insisted. “It’s precisely because the people saved are my family and country that I can’t watch you burn yourself without hesitation and leave problems behind…”

She said seriously, “Your mind needs guidance. I happen to be good at it. You…”

Kang De waved his hand and said, “Let’s talk about psychological problems after winning. It’s meaningless if we can’t win.”

After putting away the water tanks in the white fog world, Kang De walked towards Horus. “Send me a message if you encounter the enemy. If I don’t respond, stay where you are and wait for orders. Don’t move easily. That’s it.”

Hillmelia’s figure flashed and stopped Kang De. “I don’t know where you’re going. I only know that every time you return, it’s worse than the last time. If this continues, something will go wrong!”

“Move,” Kang De said indifferently. “If I don’t continue, something worse will happen.”

“Tina hid this because she doesn’t want to see you like this! She’ll be sad to see you!”

...

“It’s better than her not seeing me anymore.”

Hillmelia still wanted to argue, but Kang De became even more impatient. “Lord Sword Saint, just maintain the posture of an ice queen and a cold-blooded warrior. There’s no need to become a long-winded old woman on Tina’s behalf. I know what I’m doing.”

Sword Saint Snowfall was quite choked by these words. If it was any other time, she would have long been furious. After all, experts also had the temper of experts. Moreover, no woman could stand this.

However, when she saw Kang De’s eyes that were suppressing exhaustion and anger, her heart inexplicably softened.

“I finally know why Tina did this and why she wanted you to stay out of it,” she said with a sigh. “You don’t have to do this… This is not your war to begin with.”

“No…”

Kang De’s voice was calm and indifferent. “This is my war.”

He stretched out his hand and forcefully pushed Sword Saint Snowfall aside. He got into the car and nodded at the gorilla.

Black light flashed and disappeared.

Hillmelia was disappointed and frustrated. She looked at the cruel and terrifying battlefield and recalled what Kang De had said and done. Her arm still had the touch and warmth of being roughly pushed away by him.

For a moment, her heart ached, she was touched, and she felt a trace of subtle jealousy.

...

She suddenly stomped her feet.

The ground shook.

The gorilla was shocked. “What’s wrong?”

Sword Saint Snowfall said angrily, “Why does she always get the good things?! Let’s go!”

Earth, Comoros.

Kang De and Horus returned.

When the gorilla’s signal was sent, they were on their way. They immediately chose a small mountain and dug a small cave. They stuffed a few Chinese people in and dripped a few drops of blood to chase away the poisonous insects. They used a few iron bars to weld the entrance shut and set up a few spell traps outside. They arranged everything appropriately.

Going to the other world for at most two hours was only more than ten minutes on Earth. If more than ten minutes could make these guys encounter a fatal situation like the collapse of a mountain or being discovered by the enemy, he could only say that this was fate. Kang De was helpless in that case.

The result was not bad.

After removing the barbed wire and traps, he stuffed the still-sleeping Chinese people back into the car. Horus continued to travel. This place was already very close to Comoros.

The sky was gradually turning bright.

“Father, aren’t you going to sleep more?”

“No.”

Kang De adjusted the map with his tablet and observed it. He switched to three-dimensional mode and checked the street route.

“I have to change my clothes and be careful. D*mn, the embassies are piled up. The American and French embassies are in the north. Don’t be seen…”

“The firearms and weapons I found in the camp of the king’s mausoleum are all very useful. This time, let’s see if there are tanks and cannons in Moroni City. I have to find a time to remove the turret of the chariot I seized earlier and order shells from Kirov…”

“Oh, right. Speaking of the tomb, you said that something inside is summoning you. I went in and walked around, but I didn’t discover anything. They instructed that the treasure they dug out has already been transported away with my father. I think the thing that summoned you is that—when the time comes, remember to sense it.”

“Of course that’s in the future. We have to deal with these people first. When we reach Moroni, quietly go in and throw these guys into the embassy through the wall. We’ll go to the Palace of Comoros.”

“They’ve already captured that place not long ago and ended the attack and defense of the capital. Even if my father is not there, there must be a big fish there.”

His voice turned cold. “He’ll speak.”

“Father, actually…”

“Yes?”

“I think what that ice lady said… makes sense.”

Horus said carefully, “I also think you’re a little…”

Kang De was silent.

Horus sounded uneasy. “Shouldn’t I say this? But…”

“Alright, shut up.”

Kang De said coldly, “You don’t have to say this. Of course you shouldn’t say this. How can a son teach his father a lesson in this world? I have my own father to teach me a lesson. You don’t have to argue. Speed up.”

“…Yes.”

The engine roared.

At the same time, another convoy was speeding through the night southeast of Comoros.

“The plan is going very smoothly. We’ve already obtained information and know the other party’s background.”

The person in the car said, “According to reliable information, the mission target has already been transported to Comoros. We’ll attack the Comoros Palace soon…”

“Don’t worry, Boss Wang. We’re professionals. Nothing will go wrong this time. The humiliation of failing last time will definitely be washed away.”
