Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds - Chapter 736

From the far port to the airport.

Fly from the airport to the Broken Isles.

Return to the Azure Fleet from the Broken Isles.

The familiar sea breeze was blowing, and Nicias walked off the plane along the escalator. Even though she had already taken it once before heading to the far port, she was still amazed and shocked by this epoch-making alchemy magic tool.

This was the Broken Isles, and she could hear the roar of the tide.

From the far port to here, the journey of more than 1,000 kilometers is only one hour.

This speed is many times faster than that of ships and flying beasts. Although it is still too slow compared to the teleportation array that arrives in an instant, a large aircraft can carry thousands of people and a huge amount of materials. Although I don’t know how much it will consume, It must be much more convenient than the expensive, precise and energy-consuming transmission array.

Like the evacuation of the Broken Isles.

With the power of the council, it can’t do better than Kant, and although Nicias didn’t witness it with her own eyes, she still heard the grand occasion from the broadcast of the Far Harbor tonight – a series of steel wings. Cross the sky, build a bridge of the stars, and save the fearful people to the other side of safety.

What a magnificent scene.

She walked down the escalator and looked into the distance from this airport. The sparkling sea reflected the moonlight, and the colorful reflections scorched and rippled, as if there were countless rare treasures floating on the sea.

It is indeed a treasure, a strange thing that fell from the sky, and it is also the purpose of the blue fleet here.

Nicias withdrew her gaze and sighed silently.

She had witnessed the terrifying scene of the Forbidden Curse in the sky and the aurora shining on that day. The strange thing that fell from the sky must also be the remains of Kant’s Forbidden Curse bombarding a powerful enemy.

In other words, it’s his booty.

No matter the rules and logic of which country, which race, which organization, he has unquestionable ownership of these spoils, because this is his victory.

But the council said no.

The reason is that “according to the conventions and rules for extraterrestrial substances, the council has the right and obligation to send special departments to confirm their origin and harmlessness”, so the blue fleet set sail and formed a confrontation.

In all fairness, this statement is very reasonable, and Nicias also agrees with this principle in her heart, because since ancient times, there have been countless coups, massacres, disasters and catastrophe caused by aliens from the universe – those substances that have fallen from the universe to the mortal world. , mostly filled with malice and hostility.

But this time is different.

Although the council’s order was to “keep fighting for the stability and peace of the world”, Nicias still smelled greed in the urgent documents.

Just like she had been ordered to exterminate pirates several times before, and she had also led her ministry to suppress several unrest in the Southern Islands. Is extermination of pirates to protect innocent ships and sailors, or to ensure that the trade routes under the name of a certain congressman can be unimpeded. , the suppression of unrest is to protect the local slaughtered civilians, or to prevent the plantation of a large family from being burned – it is not difficult to distinguish.

Although the Star Court never revealed it, Nicias knew it wasn’t that simple.

They want the unknown extraterrestrial stuff… so much.

Not for safety, but for profit.

As a result, she and the blue fleet were pushed to the front line, facing the most dangerous man in the world under the shadow of the forbidden curse that destroyed everything.

As a result, she spent the most tangled, painful, and confusing period of her life.

How wonderful.

The azure fleet she commanded, the place she called home, brought her countless glory, satisfaction and pride. At this moment, she felt extremely unfamiliar, the loyal, brave and obedient officers and soldiers on weekdays They gradually became estranged from virtue and began to treat her with yin and yin.

The country to which she is allegiance has also continuously displayed gaffe greed and cold-bloodedness, weaving lies, giving false promises, and making officers and soldiers fight blindly under the threat of forbidden spells for the so-called interests.

Even the man she called her father, for the so-called honor of the family, constantly forced her daughter to give up the dignity and honor of the military…

By contrast, her enemies, whom her fleet and the country she allegiates judged as “potentially hostile forces,” gave her respect, courtesy, and joy.

It’s been that way since the beginning.

The taunting and humiliation she imagined didn’t happen when she set foot on the Broken Isles in disgrace, wanting to trade her dignity and honor and more for her captured soldiers.

She didn’t even see Kant that time, only his daughter.

The reason for avoiding it is that “meeting Miss Nicias in this situation will only embarrass you”.

She admits that at that moment, her heart was like being hit by a sledgehammer, and she could even imagine Kant’s smile when he said this, like seeing each other for the first time… that smile was gentle and powerful , A restrained but strong flame is brewing under the calm and humble exterior.

He even treated the prisoners from the Azure Fleet preferentially, even if theoretically, those were rough villains or even robbers who wanted to **** and steal the spoils that belonged to him.

What happened next was like a game. Every day, the Azure Fleet would rack its brains, launch surprise attacks, and then be caught by the Broken Isles. After a loss, Nicias will always go there.

Even if she can’t bring back a prisoner, even if she knows that Kant will treat every captured soldier well, she still wants to go. She doesn’t know whether this action is based on the commander’s integrity and responsibility, or if she wants to escape The fleet that made her even more dull and breathless, even for a moment.

Maybe both.

The conflict between the Azure Fleet and the Island Defense Fleet has become more and more intense, but it has nothing to do with Nicias. The council’s dismissal order has not yet arrived, but her command power has already existed in name only. This child-like battle has nothing to do with her, every day. The most anticipated thing is to go around the Broken Isles.

Her new friend, Ah Fu, would warmly entertain her every day, the food she had never heard of, the food she had never seen before, and the smile in the eyes of the lovely girl, all of which made her feel at ease.

The Broken Isles, which was once brilliant and ruined overnight, also left a deep impression on her.

If there were two words to describe the new Broken Isles, it would be…

order.

and happy.

The garrison on the island, the patrolling fleet, the mining miners, the search team and the exploration team, they are organized, ordered, and governed in an efficient manner. Full of orderly beauty, commanding becomes an art here.

And happy.

Everywhere he went there was laughter, and even the miners who came to mine were very happy. Those orcs were obviously not bought slaves, because no slave owner in this world allowed his slaves to be covered with iron tools… She I have never seen such a happy greenskin mining.

Everything was novel, and even made her forget the dullness of the Azure Fleet.

She even went to the prisoner of war camp a few times, and the food there was actually better than that on the boat. The faces of the prisoners of war did not show any shame or resentment of being captured, but were rather silly.

They organize a few ball games, get together to sing under the leadership of the manager, sometimes listen to the radio, and hold some kind of weird activity similar to a tea party – a group of people sitting in an open space, from A few people are randomly selected below and let them tell their own stories, their own experiences…

What I saw and heard was really strange, and I couldn’t finish it for days and nights.

Under the leadership of Alfred, Nicias toured the island that was being rebuilt. She saw so many novel things here. In addition to being surprised, she also had doubts in her heart.

Because she faintly felt that these experiences, details and clues seemed to be able to piece together something.

Just like a elf sentry tower is a typical military structure of the dusk moon, just like an administrative fortress on the border of the empire is the epitome of the complicated and inefficient administrative system of this great empire, the reconstruction work of the Broken Isles revealed the What is the nature of order and idea?

—The doubt that disturbed her was resolved in the far port.

In the face of tonight’s invitation, she agreed to Ah Fu out of nowhere, but met Kant in Far Harbor. She suspected that it was a planned coincidence at first, but later found out that it was really a coincidence.

And it doesn’t matter.

What matters is what she sees in Far Harbor.

Kant’s Thought, Faith, and Compassion.

And the hope and love he gave to everyone in Far Harbor.

Even the most inconspicuous pariah who sells his coolies for a living can trade hard work for dignity and a livelihood in his city, and in less than a month, the most humble and ignorant can reshape their personality, establish dignity, With hope, the situation of the family of five walking under the bright light is so beautiful.

It was a scene she will never forget.

It’s a life she’s never had.

The feeling of walking with family carefree like this… what is it?

“You… are you okay?”

The sound of the call awakened Nicias from her contemplation, and Miss Admiral turned her head to look, holding the sword of deterrence, and the Dragon of Aurora, who made all the kingdoms stunned, was standing beside her at this moment.

He looked a little apprehensive.

Nicias knew what he was worried about.

—I was just worried that she would cry again.

“Really…” she murmured, “Why are you here so late?”

Kant wondered: “What?”

Miss Admiral smiled, and she looked to the other side, thousands of miles away, that was the Far Harbor. This city is already famous in the world, but the reason why it is famous all over the world is because of this man in front of her.

But one day, the city will gain its own glory.

“Far Harbor…” she whispered, “Is that what you think the world should be like?”

“Do not.”

Kant walked up to her, beside her.

The tone is calm but firm: “Better than this.”

Nicias turned her head in surprise: “What is that?”

“I don’t quite know…no one has actually seen what it looks like, only the brightest, most enthusiastic, most selfless people hopefully describe it, even if they never get the chance to see it in their lifetime.”

Kant smiled: “But it’s there, we have to find a way to get past it.”

Nicias was speechless for a moment.

She looked at Kant who was smiling in the night wind, her heart was tumbling, and the other party’s tone was light and gentle, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

“There will be a day, as you think, the world will be.”

Miss Admiral’s tone was surprisingly firm, revealing a deep confidence she didn’t even realize.

Because she saw the appearance of Far Harbor.

The excitement and pride brought by the majestic evacuation of the Broken Isles has gradually dissipated. Today’s Far Harbor has entered the post-rescue era. This once glorious but gradually decaying seaport city is striving to regain its former glory. She was sure it would be so.

With the end of the war with the elves, the Dusk Moon Dynasty’s blockade of Far Harbor and even the west coast of Goethe will gradually loosen – just like what she saw tonight, the Phoenix King’s belt in front of Kant.

The Broken Archipelago was destroyed by the claws of peerless beasts. The Western Seas needed a new trade hub. As the Pearl of the West Coast, the Far Harbor had natural advantages. This historic city was even more suitable for business in the Western Seas than it was in its heyday. this location of the hub.

Because now, the whole world knows that this Goethe city has ushered in a powerful guardian.

Aurora’s Dragon Kant.

With his miraculous victories time after time, his fame was known to everyone from Dusk Moon Island to the Eastern Mountains, even across the oceans, and his fame returned to his hometown.

Relying on the power of the forbidden spell, befriending Muyue and the dragon clan, the alchemy armies are unrivaled in the world, and the steel battleships slash the waves in the blue sea. Anyone with discernment knows that the re-emergence of Far Harbor is unstoppable.

But Nicias knew that the significance of Kant to Far Harbor was far more than the protection of force provided by Forbidden Magic and might, and the advantages of Far Harbor were not only to replace the commercial hub of the Broken Isles.

It is Kant’s beliefs, ideals and compassion.

There are also people from the Far Harbor, the province of Bibo, the Duchy of Goethe, and even the whole world.

An ordinary family of five in the far port will die because of Kant’s courtesy and kindness, and burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm and loyalty. Such advantages and models can be replicated. There will not be any slaves, farmers, Coolies and even commoners can resist such respect and preferential treatment.

So what happens when Kant extends the Far Harbor model to the entire continent?

He will become the unquestionable, eternal and unique king of the world, his army will be invincible, and his country will be incomparably strong, even the golden age of Aurora, the Empire and the Dusk Dynasty are far from being able to compete with compared to.

That leaves only one question.

“The remuneration, benefits and guarantees enjoyed by the civilians of the Far Harbor are even higher than those of ordinary soldiers in the council, which means huge consumption and expenditure…”

She hesitated for a moment and said softly, “Where do these come from?”

Kant turned his head and smiled calmly at her.

Seeing that smile, Nicias suddenly felt relieved.

“The answer to this question, next time you go to Far Harbor, I will show you.”

next time…?

Nicias was stunned for a while, and she felt unspeakable in her heart, not knowing whether she was happy or sad.

She said softly, “Yeah.”

“and also…”

Miss Admiral raised her head when she heard the words.

Kant in front of him seemed to be a little restrained, a little tangled, as if he didn’t know how to speak when he had something to say—this was also very familiar, just like the innocent and simple student who confessed to her when he was in school.

She still remembered that at that time, she was carrying the hopes of her family and her family, keeping in mind her father’s entrustment, and ignoring emotional matters, so she rejected the junior’s confession inhumanly and coldly.

The scene at this time reminded her of that time, when the past and present situations overlapped eerily, so that a strange idea suddenly popped into her mind.

If the confession is Kant, then I…

— Bah, bah, bah.

What do you think.

“Miss Nicias, if, I mean if…”

The slightly rising Qi Si in his heart was shattered by Kant’s voice, and the Aurora person in front of him turned his eyes away: “If I invite you now, if you are not happy in the council, do you want to come to the far port to do things?”

“Our military benefits are very good. Of course, you can also be a researcher or something. In addition to the basic salary, additional rewards will be given to the housing distribution. It is a currency system represented by military merit points, work points and scientific research contributions. It can be exchanged for a variety of good things including food, cosmetics, electronic products, magic items, enchanted weapons, entertainment products, and…”

He talked a lot, looking a little embarrassed: “Anyway, if I send you such an invitation now, will it appear that I am a little… how should I say, I planned it long ago?”

Nicias froze in place, she didn’t say a word, her expression was blank.

After a long while, he smiled slowly: “No, I believe you didn’t do it on purpose, and I’m also very happy that you invited me and you value it, I’m honored…”

Kant sighed: “But…”

At the same time, Nicias also said: “But…”

She was stunned and looked at the helpless Kant.

“I’ve been thinking that if I don’t confess, I won’t be rejected…” Kant spread his hands and said, “My dear, Denyong can’t escape this encounter… I understand, loyalty, concerns, family, there are always reasons for this. “

Nicias wanted to say something, but only smiled bitterly.

She said softly, “Then, it’s time for me to say goodbye.”

Kant nodded: “I will send you to the bottom of the mountain. No matter how far you are, I can’t send it. I can’t let the people waiting for you see me.”

Nicias was startled for a while, then came over knowingly and sighed.

The two left the airport in silence until Nishias’s ship, Miss Admiral was standing on the broadside, and the magic auxiliary power of the small sailboat called Ye Feng, pushing her out of this sea area.

She had been standing on the side of the ship, looking from a distance, as if someone was watching her over there.

After returning to the fleet in this way, she was released after being confirmed by the patrolling ships. Nicias’s expression suddenly changed. She floated up in the air, walked against the wind, and silently fell back to the flagship deck.

The sailor wanted to salute, but she raised her hand to stop her. Although she was deprived of command, the prestige of Miss Admiral still existed, so she entered the cabin all the way and arrived at the command room.

The guards at the door were stopped by her stern gaze. Laughter and discussions came from the door, and Nicias listened with bated breath. It was her officers meeting with the special envoy.

“I’ve been there for a long time this time, much later than usual. Could it be that… Hey, Kant is in good spirits?”

“Tsk.”

“Hey, what are you doing with this stinky face, that Aurora can even take down the Phoenix King, and the Commander will definitely not be able to escape… What to see, even if Kant can’t win, can it still be your turn?”

“You! Asshole! Say it again!”

“Heh, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking… Stop dreaming, now it’s time for us to break into Kant’s territory, and the soldier has been captured, the commander is going to beg him to let him go or show mercy, with Kant’s reputation, it will happen What? It must be done directly! Fuck, why is everything good for him.”

“—Okay! Stop arguing! It’s pointless to talk about this kind of topic here, but this will be our chance, listen, since she’s fascinated by Kant, then we can take bolder actions, Anyway, if we miss and get caught, we are also serving delicious food on the island. If we can successfully obtain enough samples and extraterrestrial substances, the council will definitely give a lot of rewards, and Kant will not do anything to us. …because the commander will find a way to calm his anger, haha!”

“How to calm down?”

“How did I know? Maybe it was her mouth? Why did I show such an expression, I clearly said sincere language and apology, where did you guys think?”

“Hahahahahaha…”
