Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Chapter 352

352 God of War

Perhaps after many years, Hillmelia would still remember this day close to night.

Kang De carried out 12 extremely thick pipes from a mysterious place in one go.

She had previously observed the attack method of the mysterious weapon carried by that alchemical chariot. It was almost the same shape and fired different crossbow bolts with different power and firing speed. The pipe would shoot out intense flames accompanied by strong smoke and was extremely fast, like a storm, far better than any crossbow.

These weapons of different sizes and power were probably the same type.

Just like knives, swords, halberds, spears, and axes.

Just like bows, crossbows, catapults, and spears.

Now, Kang De had taken out a total of 12 incomparably huge long-barreled weapons. It was probably the same principle, and an overly huge body and thick caliber meant an even more terrifying power. She saw the puppet stuff heavy “arrowheads” into the tail of the long tube with Kang De and pull the extremely exquisite, cold, and heavy mechanism at an extremely skilled speed. Every action was clean.

As a peerless expert who had made a name for herself in the War God City, she could smell the aura of death from this weapon. This was a war weapon that was only born to kill and had been polished extremely perfectly. Every detail, every arc, and every structure was determined by countless deaths and flesh.

These 12 steel objects without any magic fluctuations were probably not inferior to magic devices. The details that had once shocked Sword Saint Snowfall still existed, and those huge weapons were completely identical. There was no deviation or personality…

She looked up in a daze at the man called Kang De.

Ever since the Glory Sand Incident, she had accompanied Tina and watched the once-innocent girl grow up overnight. She had watched her grow up day by day.

However, the princess holding the sharp axe still had a pure land in her heart.

Kang De, the Cathayan.

After announcing the engagement, she fell asleep every night thinking of his name. She had to speak to him every day and write to him every day. Although such action was meaningless, this was the only way to maintain Tina's soul and personality and not completely collapse or become another person.

Tina talked about it every day. Hillmelia was by her side every day and heard the most about Kang De. She repeated it over and over again and said everything. God knew that they had only interacted for less than a month. Why were there so many things to say? She talked about his mysterious background, his delicious food, his loneliness, his weakness, and his strength and courage.

It could even be said that Tina knew Kang De very well, and so did Hillmelia.

However, that was only a retelling.

The true contact was still from today onwards, to urgently help Red Maple City. It was every interception and fierce battle along the way.

He was indeed as mysterious as Tina said, or even more so. This Cathayan really had endless secrets that made her curious and involuntarily want to investigate further.

Where did he go after every battle? Where did he get these weapons? Where did he come from… The secrets she wanted to know, the secrets she did not dare to think about carefully, the countless secrets.

However, now, these secrets were not important.

This was because Kang De was on Goethe's side.

However…

A faint sorrow floated through Sword Saint Snowfall's eyes.

The fundamental reason why Goethe had fallen into the flames of war was because of the weakness of the country. The danger of destruction still existed. Even if they had successfully helped Red Maple City and defeated the Elven Expeditionary Force this time, it did not mean that they would not have to worry from now on.

The elf army that attacked Goethe was extremely powerful, but that was to Goethe. To the Twilight Dynasty, a military operation of this scale was only an armed patrol of the second-tier army.

Even if they won this war, the danger had not been resolved.

Could Kang De's secret become Goethe's power…

When she thought of this, she sighed softly. Although there was a so-called “engagement”, although the entire continent was rumored that the Cathayan Prince Consort of the Princess of Goethe had taken the initiative to become enemies with Twilight for love and destroyed six Dragon Flag Legions in a battle, deterring Twilight and shocking the world—she knew what that engagement was about.

However, it was Tina's wishful thinking.

Before this, her relationship with Kang De was only that of a friend. There was no substantial progress or agreement, and there was not even much ambiguity.

What should she do after meeting him?

With Tina's skin, she would probably faint from fear when she saw Kang De.

As for Kang De…

He did not look like a bold person.

Thinking of this, she could not help but look at the gorilla who had been circling Kang De. Otherwise, she would have been stuck behind him. She thought of the rumor conveyed by the elf envoy that she wanted to facilitate Kang De's marriage to the Cathayan Empress and did not know what to say for a moment.

If she wanted to completely tie Kang De to Goethe, Tina should take him down with great courage and decisiveness. Everything was fine, but with Tina's stubborn personality, she would probably not kidnap and force Kang De in this way.

This stupid girl.

It was better to let…

—Pfft!

As soon as this thought appeared, Sword Saint Snowfall was shocked and hurriedly expelled this thought from her mind.

She even felt a long-lost heat on her face.

Shameless.

She took a deep breath, but she could not stop her doubts.

It had not been like this in the past.

Humans were social animals.

After staying in a place like the War God City for too long, her personality would change no matter what. In the past, she was not a person who followed the rules. She had also cultivated in a place like the War God City and been awarded the title of Sword Saint. She was long used to being powerful and arbitrary. She did not take weak living beings seriously and disdained romantic relationships.

The human heart was unpredictable, complicated, and difficult to understand. Even Sword Saint Snowfall did not know that in just a day, her thoughts had already changed subtly.

She had been coaxed by Tina to find Kang De. After realizing that Red Maple City was surrounded, she did not hesitate to decide to save him. However, she knew in her heart that she would definitely die if she went. She was already determined to die. Facing the hundreds of thousands of elves and countless experts, even with the strength of the Sword Saint, she could only die. Her outcome was already decided, and it was to dissipate with Tedrell's glory.

However, she saw a turnaround from Kang De.

A person fighting an army could end the battle in a few minutes. Powerful weapons that he had never heard of or seen could seize new victories every time. He had once used a forbidden curse to destroy five Dragon Flag Legions. Perhaps he could replicate that miraculous battle under Red Maple City.

Therefore, hope ignited.

Kang De also replied to this hope with victory after victory.

She did not have to consider how to defeat the intercepting armies or worry about how to save the siege of Red Maple City. She only had to listen to Kang De's orders and commands. When to attack, when to attack, who the target was, and throw this thing out—as long as she carried out the order very well.

He could win.

In this extreme surprise battle that did not stop, destroyed, and intercepted the enemy, every victory could increase her evaluation of Kang De and her trust in him.

Under the effect of the drawbridge, in a highly bloody and cruel domain like the battlefield and in an urgent situation like rescuing Red Maple City, many emotions would undergo subtle changes.

—But no.

She said to herself, No.

Although they were related by blood… it was still impossible.

It was Tina's sweetheart.

She disdained the so-called rules. The War God City was not a place to follow the rules. As long as she could fight and bear the consequences, she could sleep with men and women if she wanted.

However, she could not help but worry about Tina's thoughts.

How could an aunt snatch a man from her niece… It was too degrading and embarrassing. No.

She calmed down.

He was only a man who was responsible, pleasing to the eye, and could fight relatively bravely. He came from a noble background, was mysterious, controlled, and was not rigid with endless possibilities.

No, no, no.

How could a man be more interesting than the path of battle aura?

She gave up on this thought.

Her gaze turned calm. As a powerful warrior, she still had this bit of self-control and mental cultivation. She wanted to forcefully cut off the subtle feelings she had for Kang De. At this moment, she heard footsteps.

“Hey! Why are you in a daze?!”

Kang De strode towards Sword Saint Snowfall.

Logically speaking, it was very difficult for him to treat this woman as Tina's aunt, which was an elder.

He could not tell at all. He would believe that she was Tina's sister. She was so young and beautiful, but she did not have the bearing and appearance of an elder at all. It was just that she was sometimes more talkative.

Moreover, he felt a little rebellious. He had yet to explain what had happened to Tina. He did not want to deal with seniority issues now.

Therefore, when he spoke and communicated with Sword Saint Snowfall, he only treated her in an ordinary tone and attitude.

Hillmelia was about to break off that thought she should not have when she heard Kang De's voice.

She was shocked and immediately looked up, even a little flustered. “What, what's wrong?”

“What's wrong?” Kang De said inexplicably. “We're going to open fire.”

“Ah?” Sword Saint Snowfall said in a daze, “How? Teach me.”

How should he put it?

Clearly, the person who walked was the cold-looking Sword Saint Snowfall. If she said those words with a stunned expression and tone, the lethality would really double.

Especially when paired with her body that was even hotter and stronger than Tina's…

—Stop, stop, stop.

Kang De had a strange expression and said, “I said that we're going to shoot. You should block your ears.”

Hillmelia was stunned. “Why?”

Kang De said, “Because it's very loud. We still have to take protective measures.”

Sword Saint Snowfall smiled in disdain when she heard this, “Louder? I can resist a magic-level sonic boom attack head-on. Don't underestimate the strength of a Sword Saint. Go fire. I want to hear how loud it is.”

Kang De frowned and said, “Aren't you afraid of catching a cold from the rain? Don't you have an umbrella when it rains? These are two different things. I know you're powerful, but there's no need to take the risk of hurting yourself…”

Although he had not observed the howitzer fire up close previously, the commotion and shock wave would definitely not be underestimated if he wanted to shoot out 20 to 30 kilograms of shells. Why pretend?

When Sword Saint Snowfall heard this and heard Kang De's concern, she was subconsciously happy. Then, she cursed herself for being useless. Previously, in the War God City, so many people had fawned over her and she had disdained them. This guy had said a few good words and she was happy. She was really too useless.

She said, “You can't hurt me. Don't worry, the battle is more important. Give the order later. Moreover, if I cover my ears, I won't be able to hear you give the order. It'll delay things, right?”

Kang De frowned and said, “Then open your mouth.”

“…Hmm?”

“Just like this.” Kang De opened his mouth. “Balance the internal and external pressure.”

Hillmelia said, “No, it's too stupid.”

“He's not stupid. Instead, he's quite cute.”

Kang De snapped his fingers. The gorilla jumped over with her mouth open and ran behind him.

Such an example increased Sword Saint Snowfall's resistance, “…No!”

Kang De impatiently stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Sword Saint's cheek. He pulled out forcefully, “Is this very difficult? If you maintain this,…”

In the next moment, his arms were separated. Hillmelia said sternly, “What are you doing?!”

“Be good!”

Kang De's voice was louder than this. “There's a war! What are you thinking?!”

Their gazes met and they did not give in at all. In the next moment, Sword Saint Snowfall twisted her body and turned her back to Kang De in silence—but she seemed to see the muscles on the back of her neck twitch.

Kang De opened his mouth but did not speak. He shook his head and quickly returned.

It was time to begin.

In the end, Hillmelia could not help but quietly turn around.

Her mouth opened slightly… She was still very stupid.

She saw a steel line attached to the butt of a long tube that was held in Kang De's hand. He stood a few meters away, and the steel giant held one in his hand. In addition, the puppet war dogs, guardian mechanisms, clockwork warriors, and other alchemical creations seized from the previous battle also drew one each.

She saw Kang De give a thumbs-up and gesture to the mechanical warrior on the other side.

She also saw the other party turn around to look at her.

She hurriedly turned her head away.

Then, she slowly turned around.

For some reason, when she saw Kang De's tense body and the steel wire in his hand, her heart suddenly sped up. She knew that he wanted to pull it. That seemed to be the way to start this weapon.

For a moment, inexplicable anticipation arose in her heart, and even the flow of her blood accelerated.

Then, she saw the muscles move on Kang De's back with her sharp vision.

She saw him pull the steel wire in his hand ruthlessly.

The other alchemical creations also exerted strength at the same time.

Then, there was a loud bang.

It was really a loud bang.

As a Sword Saint, her shocking dynamic vision even saw the flames at that moment. The flames and air waves that surged out of the muzzle roared wildly. Kang De's clothes were even blown up by the air waves. She saw that huge and heavy base stretch back like a tiger or leopard entrenched on the ground. The floating and sinking of the ground were shaken into the air by an invisible force. Dust dissipated, and the huge weapon retreated with a bang.

Everything seemed to have slowed down as if the river of time had slowed down.

An almost invisible black shadow whistled out of the tube and swept through the sky.

Twelve lightning bolts connected.

The air wave that splashed up even blew 20 to 30 meters away.

It brushed past Sword Saint Snowfall's face.

Then, she heard a rumbling explosion in the distance and the sound of the gorilla spitting—the air wave that fired kicked up dust, and a large amount of sand blew into its mouth.

Even Hillmelia's lips smelled of soil.

However, she did not care about this.

She did not realize this at all. Her mouth still maintained a slightly open posture and she felt that her head was very empty, very ethereal. She could not repeat what she had just seen, but it must have been a very shocking scene. Just like the first battle on this continent, the light of magic bloomed on the battlefield for the first time. Bows and swords entered the stage of war… She seemed to see history repeating itself.

She felt the blood in her entire body flow again. Her entire body was indescribably lazy and comfortable. After that violent bang, the world seemed to have fallen silent. Only the strong and pungent smell of gunpowder spread to the tip of her nose. She looked at the 12 roaring beasts. The muzzles were still wrapped in faint smoke.

It was like a dragon that had just spat out a fatal dragon breath.

He raised his head to the sky. He was silent and powerful and could roar at any powerful enemy.

This scene was unforgettable.

At this moment, she even felt that she was standing beside the god. An indescribable sense of security, confidence, and courage surged in her heart.

The law of victory seemed to have been confirmed.

She saw huge metal shells thrown out from the tail of this terrifying weapon. The Autobot moved new “arrowheads” with those puppets and reloaded them.

This process looked even easier than loading the crossbow of the ballista battery.

However, Hillmelia knew that the power of these weapons far surpassed any ballista.

Even the enchanted heavy arrows were the same.

She thought of the almost identical twelve weapons. If there were 100, 200, 1,000, 10,000, or even 100,000 of them firing together, how could such light and power compare to the legendary gods?

Gods existed in legends. Their stories were myths that could not be investigated or explored. They were extremely mysterious.

These alchemical weapons did not have any magic fluctuations, as if they were ordinary items made of steel.

She looked at Kang De, her voice trembling slightly, but she did not sense anything.

“This…”

Her voice seemed to be a little hoarse. “What's this?”

“Cannon.”

Kang De adjusted the enchanted earpiece, grabbed the refitted matchlock, and raised his other hand as a signal to prepare to fire again. He said calmly, “The God of War.”
