Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Chapter 381

381 Wang Xiaoman Is on Earth

Another morning, sunlight shone through the curtains. Kang De woke up on time.

He closed his eyes and stretched out under the covers. His body rolled and twisted.

How comfortable.

The soft velvet rubbed his body and combed every inch of his skin. It was an unprecedentedly soft texture as if all the pores in his body had opened under this fellow's grinding.

He sighed in satisfaction.

It was comfortable and calm.

He had never slept on such a comfortable bed. Although the other world had no industrial foundation to speak of, as a world with magic, its most cutting-edge material science still surpassed Earth in some aspects. Although the hardworking public would never be qualified to enjoy it, as a ruling class, they could naturally obtain the best.

He had received the grandest treatment in Red Maple City. Usually, everything he ate and wore was the best Goethe could provide. The bed he used to sleep in was only an insignificant part, but it was the most comfortable he had ever slept on in his life. That soft and smooth cloth was simply as exquisite as a girl's skin.

Of course, he did not know how exquisite a girl's skin was.

He opened his eyes and looked at the gauze curtain hanging from the ceiling. It was as white as snow and was embroidered with strange patterns that shone with an imperceptible luster. Just looking at those patterns could make him feel calm and relaxed. A faint smell of incense floated in the air. The magic device placed on the distant table emitted light, as if sensing that he had already woken up. He turned around and another fragrance gradually floated out.

The pattern on the gauze curtain slowly changed.

Looking at this pattern and smelling this incense, his thoughts slowly became clear and awake.

The depraved life of a feudal ruler was really great.

He was so happy here that he did not think about Earth.

It had been three days since the battle of Red Maple City ended.

The blood, exhaustion, nervousness, and pressure of the two-front battle had already slowly dissipated under the wash of time.

When he woke up two mornings in a row, he had to accept the fact that his war was over. Be it Africa or the other world, he had saved his father and Comoros. He had saved Goethe and saved Red Maple City from falling and the world from sliding into the abyss of war.

He won.

There was no longer a need to travel thousands of kilometers, kill extensively, kill the enemy in an organized manner, or deter the enemy with torture and slaughter. Peace, peace had finally arrived.

Even if it was only a short peace, it was good.

Yes, it had only temporarily come to an end.

On Earth, Little Bob was dead, Tacitus was annihilated, and the French government's plan was bankrupt, but Big Bob was still alive. There was still a ruin in Gambia that had not been excavated, and the permanent members had already smelled something. As a powerful superhuman, Kang De had already entered the vision of the various countries.

On the other side, the second Goethe War was forcefully stopped by Kang De and the Elven Empress at the last moment of its full eruption. The deterrence of Kang De's forbidden curse and the authority of Delilah's monarch joined forces to forcefully stop the wheel of war that rushed into the abyss and end this war.

However, termination did not mean a complete end.

War would never change.

War was a continuation of politics, and politics was the ultimate act that involved an extremely wide range. This war that was forcefully terminated did not only affect Goethe and Twilight, but it also involved a series of turmoil and changes in geopolitics, international order, and so on. The impact was far-reaching and would definitely greatly surpass the Battle of Valentine.

According to Kang De's guess after that, the second surprise attack of the expeditionary army was probably the council crossing the order given by the Empress. Such an order would be carried out, which meant that Delilah's monarchy had been completely challenged.

This was a huge matter that was enough to shake the dignity and authority of a monarch. It was something that no monarch could tolerate. It could be imagined that the furious Phoenix King would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. The politics of the Twilight Dynasty would definitely welcome a huge reshuffle. To the number one country in the world, the violent change in politics meant the violent turmoil of the international order, because countless interest entanglements would welcome a huge earthquake.

To Goethe, although the danger of destruction had temporarily passed, the problem still existed.

The Goethe Expeditionary Force was only a second-rate army of the Twilight Dynasty. The elves were still the number one country in this world, like a giant that covered the sky. Goethe was only a small portion covered by its huge shadow, and this insufferably arrogant country had suffered a humiliating defeat under Red Maple City.

Elves were all very vengeful.

Not to mention such a huge humiliation.

The threat from the Twilight Dynasty still existed, and it would exist for a long time.

What also existed was the secret fear of the Human Empire and even the various countries of the continent.

This was because Goethe had won.

They successfully stopped this war and could even be said to have won, causing the elves to be covered in dust.

However, the awkward thing was that Goethe had suffered heavy losses in this war. It could even be said that their national strength had decreased greatly. The reason why they could win was completely because a Cathayan had forcefully interfered in this war.

This meant that deterrence, victory, reputation, and the country were completely maintained on the kindness and friendship of a foreigner towards Goethe. At the national level, this was extremely dangerous and unstable.

They had temporarily won. Their country had not been destroyed for the time being, but they had added an even greater blood debt to the elves.

Moreover, because of the betrayal and conspiracy of the Human Empire earlier, it meant that Goethe was already in a de facto hostile state with the former suzerain country. Did the broken relationship need to be repaired, what attitude the Empire had… These all tested the wisdom of diplomacy.

It could be foreseen that in the future, the geopolitics of Goethe would become extremely important. The gazes of the various countries would turn here. Where would Goethe, sandwiched between the Twilight Dynasty and the Human Empire, go? It would definitely involve many gazes and malice.

However, what did all of this have to do with Kang De?

He rolled on the bed again.

The battle of Red Maple City successfully made him walk further and further toward the path of a human nuclear bomb.

Two days had passed. The news was slowly transmitting and fermenting. As the elf army completely gathered and the Goethe intelligence network recovered, what happened in the 24 hours gradually became known to the world.

Ever since the news of the elves launching a second surprise attack, the Cathayan, Kang De, set off from Valentine and crossed a thousand miles to rush towards Red Maple City.

In 24 hours, in six battles, the Savada Immortal Army, the Tuck Shield Arrow Regiment, the Aaronhide Rangers, the Stoneheart Legion of the Royal Army's magicized army, the Fire Feather Legion of the Alchemical Heavy Armorer, the Pride of Allagan of the Sky Light Cavalry Brigade… These famous legendary armies had all turned into stepping stones for endless glory and were easily annihilated by a Cathayan riding from the east. Their organization no longer existed.

In the battle of Red Maple City, the Cathayan who appeared out of nowhere killed three Dragoons in less than ten minutes and defeated five aerial troops composed of the Horned Eagle Knight, the Pegasus Knight, and hundreds of aerial combat mages, forcefully reversing the situation of Goethe's imminent defeat.

Then, they attacked the expeditionary army array outside the city. More than two large mages and more than ten cavalry shooting arrays suffered a destructive blow in a few minutes.

After failing to order the elves to surrender, he did not hesitate to activate a forbidden curse.

If not for the Phoenix King arriving at the last moment and using some extremely fanciful method to stop the forbidden spell air raid on the expeditionary army, more than 300,000 people would have died in the hands of the Cathayans in the past 24 hours.

Even so, even if the forbidden curse that destroyed everything stopped at the last moment, there were more than 100,000 soldiers who had directly died in Kang De's hands in this one-day war. If he included the six Dragon Flag Legions in the battle of Valentine, there were already 200,000.

After this statistic was calculated, the title of “Elven Butcher” that shone with golden light was placed on Kang De's head. It was probably impossible to take it off. If there was a Guinness certification record in the other world, he would definitely be the creature who had personally killed the most elf soldiers in history.

Even the hell giants of the ancient war had probably not killed as many as him.

In two days, this shocking news and legendary victory shook the world, shocking the heads of various countries, faction leaders, and even the lords of the other planes.

The name Kang De was whispered by countless people and inhumans.

When the outcome of the battle of Valentine spread to the continent, many factions were hesitating, watching, and calculating. They were thinking about what the power Kang De displayed meant.

Soon, Kang De told them the truth.

The Forbidden Spell Envoy from the East was like a legendary hero who had walked from the ancient era. He could rewrite the outcome of any local war in this world by himself, change the direction of any full-scale war, deter any country and faction in the world, and annihilate any army that carried endless honor.

His forbidden curse, his background, and his alchemy would all become secrets that the various countries of the continent would pursue crazily. As long as he maintained a good relationship with Goethe, as long as he was still in Goethe, his every move would be closely monitored by the various countries. All the policies, actions, and diplomacy against Goethe could not avoid the name Kang De, or rather, they would revolve around him.

The power he had, the deterrence he could form, he would be paid attention to, probed, come into contact with, be wary, hostile, and scheme by guys with all kinds of goals.

This was something that had never happened in this world, an unprecedented era.

Change, turmoil, and change would happen from now on.

“How troublesome…”

Kang De rolled on the bed. These effects and entanglements that would definitely happen later only needed Kang De to think for a few minutes before he became troubled.

“Hong San, when will Hong San come…”

He originally wanted his iron son to fly to Valentine and bring Hong San over to sort himself out. However, after thinking for a moment, he rejected this suggestion.

The elves had not retreated, including the next negotiation and truce treaty. It was a huge project. The variables still existed. He and Horus had to stay in Red Maple City.

Moreover…

What a waste of oil!

Red Maple City was a thousand miles away from Valentine. The energy consumption of his iron son's sixth-generation aircraft had increased exponentially. Apart from replenishing the white fog, he also needed fuel to assist in the energy supply. That was not something that could be done by finding a car to smoke in on the street. High-quality aviation gasoline was only available in that batch of replicated fighter jets, and the fuel storage tank in the Foreign Legion military base… D*mn, Kang De had lit the fireworks himself.

After all, he did not expect to get a large group of fighter jets for free later on.

They knew their own business. Every time they used air bombs and aviation fuel, there was no place to replenish them in a short period of time. In order to prevent variables from happening, it was better to save some.

Therefore, he could only let Hong San come over by land.

Forget it, he would think about it when he arrived.

The response of the various countries, conspiracies from all directions, and all kinds of troublesome things would not appear for the time being. After all, only two days had passed. The current Kang De only needed to enjoy a short and relaxed vacation.

He wanted to relax and wash away his nervousness and exhaustion.

After the war ended and saved Goethe from destruction, he had already been pushed to the altar by the Goethe people. After two days, he could still recall the fanaticism of that day. Countless smiles, countless cheers, sincere gratitude, choked tears, and faces.

He had seen people one after another. They all had the f*cking faces of foreigners. It was very difficult to remember who was who.

“Don't worry, Father. I filmed it. We can replay and remember it later.”

This was what the considerate and reliable Horus had said to him that night.

Kang De heaved a sigh of relief and was furious.

“Beast! What else did you take?”

“No.”

Facing his iron son's innocent and calm eyes, Kang De's mood was extremely complicated.

He suspected that this unfilial son had secretly taken some things he should not have.

For example, that kiss…

With this in mind, a silly smile appeared on Kang De's face and he touched his lips.

If he did not include the kiss with Xiaoman when they were five or six years old after watching TV… this would be his first kiss.

How should he put it… that feeling?

It was not as comfortable as he had imagined. Perhaps it was because the time was not right and he was inexperienced.

At that time, Tina was crying like a tabby cat and arched over clumsily. He only remembered the hard touch of her teeth and the salty taste of her tears. The electric feeling of those soft lips and lilac tongue sweeping past only lasted for a short while before the two of them were separated by the crazy gorilla. Sword Saint Snowfall's apologetic and innocent eyes seemed to indicate that she could not stop her, but Kang De kept feeling that this guy was deliberately going easy.

Then, the gorilla arched over.

Then, there were even louder cheers and clamor. At that time, Kang De was almost no different from the gods. Even if he stepped on their princess and another ship in front of the Goethe people, the hot-headed Goethe people were only loudly praising and cheering at that time… The scene at that time was really chaotic.

There were even people who hooted for Sword Saint Snowfall to kiss Kang De too.

Then, they were kicked to the side by the Sword Saint.

Of course, this was not the point.

Most importantly, if the unfilial son filmed this scene…

Horus firmly denied it and asked his father to search as he pleased.

Check your own processor?

The father's scrutiny and his son's calmness. Such a strange relationship only lasted until the next morning.

“Pfft.”

This was Horus's laughter.

This was because a famous painter of Red Maple City had sent a painting.

As the hero who had saved Goethe, the current Kang De was grateful, worshiped, and revered by people from all walks of life in Red Maple City. Such strong emotions would not last long, because humans were humans after all. However, in this short period of time, before the joy, gratitude, and fear of surviving a disaster dissipated, Kang De was the god of the current world to the Goethe people in the city. All malice, jealousy, and vigilance had to be firmly hidden.

Under such circumstances, it was natural to be loyal, grateful, and worshiped by many people.

With the help of spells, that famous painter drew a huge work overnight.

After Kang De used a forbidden curse to deter the elves and forced the Empress to personally say the word of truce, this one-day war ended in a romantic kiss between Kang De and Princess Tina.

What Kang De had done in this war was like a legend and myth. If there was the romantic embellishment of love, his invincible strength, and heroic feat would definitely be enhanced into an epic. The kiss that symbolized victory and peace was personally seen by the Goethe people present. This love would definitely move everyone and be discussed for future generations.

Therefore, in order to thank Kang De and commemorate that moment, that famous painter drew an oil painting overnight to keep that eternal moment.

In the scene, a ray of sunlight passed through the blood-red clouds in the sky. Under the gazes of ten thousand people, there were endless cheers and joy. A man and a woman hugged and kissed. Golden sunlight sprinkled down on their bodies, the devastated city, and the moment when destruction and hope coexisted and peace descended.

It would have been fine if that was all.

The painter was clearly a mischievous person and had an extremely great hatred for the elves.

Therefore, the Elven Empress was also drawn. The image of the Empress who left on the phoenix was not ugly. The dignity and beauty of a king were not weakened at all. However, she turned around sadly in the sky and glanced over, her face filled with sorrow.

This expression was so vivid, and this composition was so classic and filled with vicious hints. No one would think that this loss came from the defeat of the Twilight Dynasty.

Instead, it stemmed from the holy and great Phoenix King witnessing her being cuckolded.

Why did Kang De stop the attack of the forbidden curse at the last moment? The rhythm of public opinion in Goethe was to avoid the irreversible hatred between the two countries and prevent the elves from starting a full-scale war against Kang De. However, how could people like to hear this? They liked to hear colorful words. For example, the Phoenix King, who had long fallen in love with Kang De, begged bitterly and was finally softened by him. Then…

Therefore, his iron son chuckled.

It had all been drawn. Was it still important if he took it?

It was indeed not important.

After the old painter finished drawing, he sent it to Kang De to take a look. He planned to give this painting to him or collect it at the Goethe Palace. In any case, in the eyes of the outside world, there was no difference between the two.

Apart from letting Kang De take a look, the old painter also wanted him to name this painting.

Kang De's mood was very complicated.

However, he had good intentions and could not flare up and show his anger.

He felt that this name should work.

The painter left satisfied. His iron son's voice sounded faintly.

“Father, I think this painting should be called 'Wang Xiaoman Is on Earth'.”

“…Get lost!”

The vexed father discovered that his son had entered the rebellious stage early and became sarcastic.

He had no choice but to fight.

Therefore, what would happen today…

He sighed and got out of bed. A moment later, the outer room of this wide bedroom was pushed open. The gorilla was wearing a wide white robe. She pushed the door open and entered in a hurry. She carried him straight over and turned her face. “Kiss!”

Ever since she saw Tina force a kiss on Kang De with her own eyes, she had become very strange.

“Hurry up!”

She shouted, “If you don't kiss me, I'll kiss you! Moreover, I'll press you down and kiss you all over!”

The gorilla turned her perfect side profile. Her beautiful nose and red lips outlined a perfect outline, and her snow-white and soft cheeks were crystal clear. Kang De turned her head around and kissed her forehead.

“…No!!”

A silly smile and confusion appeared on the gorilla's face.

Although she was very happy, this was not the kiss she wanted.

Kang De casually rubbed her hair. “What's wrong? It's just like on the island.”

“I… I… In any case…”

The gorilla revealed a conflicted expression. After all, she had only become a human not long ago. There were many things that she had yet to realize and could not accurately express her emotions and thoughts.

Kang De changed the topic. “What's wrong?”

The gorilla revealed an extremely unhappy expression and said, “Kiss me again!”

Kang De smacked her forehead again.

Only then did the gorilla snort, “Big Gold Hair is here!”
