Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 584: 584
High in the Star Palace

Central island, remote conference room.

“This is forcing me to death!”

It was already the 19th day since the start of the war.

It was also the last day of Kant’s war warning.

In the past three days, the island masters ‘mentality had changed day by day. They had suffered indescribable humiliation and fear.

Kant did not start a war, but he had brought even heavier losses to the Broken Islands.

The multi-country fleets that had come to ” evacuate ” the citizens of the Broken Islands had openly barged into the waters of the Broken Islands. They were shouting at every island, calling for their citizens to leave. Compared to the words and reassurance of the island owners, the citizens of the various countries naturally trusted their own country’s glorious navy more. Whether it was Kant’s threats or the evacuation of the citizens of the various countries, they had dealt a devastating blow to the market confidence of the Broken Islands. Merchants, tourists, and laborers had all fled.

There was a long queue at every dock. The fleet’s capacity was insufficient, but it did not matter. The ships and cargo ships of merchants from all over the world were at your service. Other than the fact that the elves were easily recognizable, the Council and Imperial fleets turned a blind eye to those who pretended to be their own citizens and asked to board the ship to escape.

It was enough to register.

This caused more and more islanders to start packing their luggage, preparing to escape from the Broken Islands.

This was because the evacuation operation meant a large number of personnel movements and exchanges.

When people gathered together, they liked to spread rumors. Everyone exchanged so-called ” top secret news ” with each other. There were even newspapers with confusing headlines spreading around.

“Must See!” It was Kant’s most terrifying attack, and the Forbidden Spell was only ranked second.

” Silver Moon Council’s Deduction of the Battle of the Broken Islands, All the Councilmen Are Shocked!”

” Eight Things the People of the Broken Islands Must Know.”

” Today, as a noble, I knelt at the dock for twelve hours.”

The poor natives of the other world had never seen such a scene before. Rumors surged and fear spread. The efficient and accurate rumors hit everyone’s heart.

For ordinary working families, they could just say that they would be provided with food and accommodation in the distant port and that they could bring their entire family along with them. His Majesty would be the guarantor. What kind of person was His Highness Kant? Was there a need to lie to him?

To the wealthy tourists and even nobles, they told him that His Majesty had already reached an agreement with Kant that they could leave as they pleased after arriving at the distant harbor. This was part of the negotiation.

Under fear and helplessness, the intelligence of humans had plummeted. They were tricked into boarding the ship and immediately shipped out of the port. Like a powerful water pump, the population of the Broken Islands was continuously pumped to the old pearl of Goethe’s West Coast. They wanted and accepted everyone.

This was good news for Distant Harbor because Kant’s future plans required a large population. To him, population was the most precious asset. However, to the Broken Islands, it was a terrible thing.

Because their credibility, status, business confidence, and even international reputation were suffering a devastating blow, and the island owners could do nothing about it.

The loss of a large number of laborers was secondary. The departure of tourists and nobles had proven the incompetence and weakness of the Broken Islands. Their plan to use the entire island’s population as a bargaining chip and lobby other countries to interfere had completely failed. It had shown the weakness and cowardice of the Broken Islands in the face of Kant. This would allow their partners to recognize reality and quickly cut them off to avoid greater losses.

In other words, the network of connections and interests that they were proud of was gradually losing its effectiveness.

This was undoubtedly ironic.

They tried to rely on the powerful and impregnable island defense system to fight against Kant, and then waited for an opportunity to use their connections and network of interests to reverse the situation. Who knew that Kant would cause the building made of sand and stone to collapse with just a gentle push?

Not only were the island owners aware of this result, but all the countries were also paying attention to it. Regarding this matter, a slightly vulgar director of the intelligence department of the Arcane Law Review Council made a very appropriate evaluation.

” The Broken Islands is like an extremely scheming and beautiful socialite. She has used a little bit of beauty to subdue many flower protectors. She looks flirtatious and almost licentious, but she strictly guards her chastity. Let me describe her way of making a living.”

” She participated in all kinds of social activities and worked as a high-level brothel madame. She pulled strings between her customers and other women and extracted profits from them. She made other poor women sell their bodies and do shameless things. As for her, she was pure and noble. She maintained a good relationship with many customers and used her beauty and some small benefits to win them over. For example, she occasionally kissed, inadvertently exposed her cleavage, and flirtatious words. She made men obsessed with her, but she did not let them succeed. But you can make the other party fall head over heels for you.”

“She earns a lot of money every year, but as a smart woman, she splits the money into five parts. One part is used to buy expensive cosmetics and skincare products to maintain her beauty, one part is used to customize luxurious dresses to maintain her charm, and the other part is spent on the stinky man who walks around her to give him some surprises and benefits. The fourth part is saved for emergencies.”

“Where’s the other portion of money? Oh, yes, the last portion of money was the most. She took it out and found the most outstanding dwarf blacksmith, the most knowledgeable alchemist, and the most powerful spellcaster to create a chastity belt for herself that even the strongest in the world could not open by force.”

” This smart and cute person understood from the very beginning that the men she fed with money still wanted to rip off her clothes and take everything from her. If she wanted to protect herself, she had to rely on her own efforts and strength. This is the lifestyle and philosophy of this respectable b * tch.”

” She used her means, interests, and unique methods to rope in many flower protectors. As long as anyone coveted her body, they would be torn into pieces by the flower protectors or even her own means. That’s right, through her long-term pimp business, she has also become a powerful person. After all, she is such a woman.”

” Then, a rude Eastern prostitute appeared in front of her. He named her and wanted to f * ck her.”

” The beautiful socialite wanted to use the same trick. First, she summoned her guardians to enter the arena with elegant swords to boost their courage. However, the Aurora people carrying crescent sabers said to the guardians,’Either you come with me, and she’ll get a share if she has more holes, or we’ll fight and see who I can kill.’

” So the men weighed the pros and cons and stood beside the people of Aurora.

” The dumbstruck courtesan saw the people of Aurora tearing her clothes, and even the former escorts were secretly doing the same. She didn’t expect the boorish people of Aurora to be so good at doing this. He tore her clothes quickly and well. Although the luxurious dress was beautiful, it was only beautiful on the surface and not a solid armor. The robe that looked extremely complicated and sacred was actually extremely fragile. It fell off with a single peel.”

” In the end, this socialite realized that both protectors and luxurious clothes were useless. The only thing that could protect herself was the chastity belt that she spent a lot of money to strengthen.”

” She tried to protect her chastity with her strong resistance and strong defense. She was confident that even the violent Aurora barbarians would not be able to open this strong device and enter her body.”

” But what she didn’t expect was that the Aurora people didn’t fight with the sturdy iron shorts. Instead, they grinned and unbuttoned their pants, pressing the head of the lady of the Broken Islands under their bodies.”

” This is the current political situation surrounding the Broken Islands.”

It was said that when this somewhat vulgar intelligence director put forward his exquisite and magical political metaphor, all the spectators laughed out loud, and the laughter almost lifted the dome of Faust’s Hall of Truth. That night, this lord’s witty words appeared on the front page of every newspaper in the Circle of Tuxia.

” We’re about to become the joke of the world!”

While the world’s political scene was looking at the unstable Broken Islands with a mocking gaze, the island masters were also quarreling. They were roaring, arguing, and roaring, but no one could convince the other.

“We can’t let this situation continue! Otherwise, we will be defeated!”

Someone was slamming the table and roaring,” Our workers are leaving, our tourists are leaving, and our important partners are leaving! The attitude of the three countries is already very clear. They don’t mind Kant swallowing us! Those people outside all thought that we would lose for sure! Our army and employees will also have such thoughts! If this continues, can we still count on them to fight for us?

They will run too!”

The person who spoke was strong and arrogant. He was dressed as a captain, and his lapels were open. He pulled out his scimitar and slashed at the table. The remote image dragged out a blade light. He shouted,” We must take action!”

“Operation?” An island master opposite him said coldly. What are you going to do?”

“Seal off the port! Destroy the fleets of the three countries! No one is allowed to leave!”

“Foolish!” ” Destroy the three countries ‘fleets?” The island master shouted. Do you think these arrogant soldiers will listen to you? Do you think they’re afraid of the Broken Islands?”

The Island Master, who was dressed like a captain, flashed a fierce look. Attack!”

” And then face the joint attack of Kant and the three kingdoms?”

“What’s the difference now? If this goes on, we will definitely lose. No matter what, we will lose. Then, between sitting still and resisting, which one do you choose?”

“Who said that? We still have the island defense system, the mage tower array, and…”

” What about your businesses and your backdoor in the Sunset Moon Dynasty?” the captain sneered.

“You!”

“-all right!”

“Stop arguing.”The old man in the host seat sighed.

He opened his blurry old eyes and looked at the illusory figures of the island masters.” I know that many of you are very close to the forces of various countries. You accept their conditions and help, take care of their interests, and make some kind of deal. This is normal behavior. I understand that you don’t want to completely offend them. You still want to leave a way out for yourself and your family. This is also normal…”

Everyone was silent.

The old man saw this and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he sighed again,”In that case, I’ll do you another favor…” I can tell that Kant has only reached an agreement with the other countries not to interfere. The so-called evacuation order is most likely an action he coerced the fleets of the three countries to take on their own. It’s not an order from the kings of the other countries…”

“So, there is still hope.”

” You’re right.” The old man straightened his body.” Try harder. Endure a little longer.”

The Island Masters sat up straight and looked at the person with the highest seniority, prestige, and ability. He was the mediator of the many complicated mountain peaks on the Broken Islands. He was the one with the most prestige and also the most unfathomable. Everyone present was his junior…It was like an unfathomable pool of water.

“Sibis, you’re close to the empire. I beg you to use all your connections and abilities to speak to His Majesty and our allies at all costs.”

” Let’s say that Kant not only took down Far Harbor, but he also maintained his control over Valentan. Valentan is in the eastern part of Goethe, bordering the Empire. After the Aurora people cleared the Broken Islands and nibbled away Goethe’s authority, their next step was to point their swords at the east. Don’t forget, he also has a grudge against the Empire.”

” As for leaving the Broken Islands behind, we are willing to help His Majesty stall Kant, a powerful enemy. We will attract his attention and restrain his strength so that he will not have the energy to shake the noble system and challenge His Majesty’s divine rule.”

An island master stood up and bowed slightly.

” Lilian, you’ll be in charge of the elves. The Phoenix King is Kant’s lover. Focus on persuading the Silver Moon Council. Tell them that Kant has the power of a giant ship. Once the Broken Islands are destroyed, the ancient sea route between Goethe and Aurora will be unimpeded from the West Coast to the East. The blockade plan of the Sunset Moon Dynasty will be completely ruined. Aurora, which has fallen into war and chaos, may rise again with the help of Kant and even the mainland…”

” At that time, the humans of the two continents, the Holy Empire, and the State of Aurora might unite,” the old man who was clearly human said without hesitation.” The human world will be complete again, and even soar. The elves ‘hegemony over the world will be shaken, and the Broken Islands are willing to become the nails of the great Twilight Moon, forever nailed between the East and West continents, blocking the communication between the two worlds…”

The woman who was called out bowed in response.

” Joshua of the Arcane Magic Council, tell the Spell Casters that they have completely fallen behind Kant along with the Alchemist Division. If they secretly provide support to the Broken Islands, we will resist with all our might and try our best to destroy Kant’s alchemical weapons. All the spoils and remains obtained will be handed over to the Council for research.”

“Then tell them…”

He gave out instructions and important orders.

” Everyone, you have already realized the seriousness of the situation. I don’t need to elaborate. I know that you have many friends, including high-ranking Elven officials, nobles of the Empire, and members of the Council. You think that even if the Broken Islands are destroyed, you will bring enough money to your friends ‘countries and continue to chat and socialize with them. But I have to remind you of something.”

“Think about it carefully. If you didn’t have the identity of the Island Master of the Broken Islands, would your friends still be your friends? Without this identity, will your money still be your money?”

” So, distribute the money and appease the people, especially our army. At the same time, put the remaining important guests under house arrest and privately threaten some fence-sitters not to leave without permission…I think you guys should be better at these things than me. Just do as you think.”

” Remember, even if Kant is full of tricks, the island’s defense system that we are so proud of is still as solid as a mountain. This is still one of the safest places in the world. We still have the power to protect ourselves and the capital to negotiate…We have to protect ourselves and our families.”

the old man said slowly.

“The Broken Islands are our home, our foundation, our everything. Children, our ancestors came to this once desolate island and established their business. It was not a coincidence, but an inevitable fate. The bloodline of our ancestors has been passed down from generation to generation, and we also bear the responsibility.”

“You will understand eventually.”

“Scatter…”

The projections went out one by one, and the basement was silent. Then, the old man’s magic image disappeared. On the upper floor, the haggard old man stood up shakily, holding the walking stick in his hand.

“Not obedient…”

He sighed softly.” Generation after generation, money, desire, and arrogance have blinded their eyes. Their mission has been forgotten. There are only selfish, cowardly, and ulterior souls. I can’t even be bothered to say words of encouragement. They have long thought of retreating. They no longer want to protect their homes. Their souls are still corrupt, but…”

At this point, his dry lips pulled out an evil smile.

“But the bloodline is still the original bloodline.”

“In that case…”

He walked alone in the spacious and tidy gorgeous room, pushed open the door, and came to the sealed room.

“Just help me with one more thing…”

He said what he had just said, but the soul of the fallen could not understand the meaning behind it.

“There is still hope…”

He knelt on the ground.

In front of him was an altar made of blood and bones.

“Work harder and endure a little longer.”

The mortal body kowtowed devoutly.

“Gods who are far away from the lower realm and live in the Star Palace, please help us, just like how you helped my ancestors…”

Ps1: F * ck… My head hurts. Maybe it’s because I was caught in the rain today…That was why it was very difficult for him to write. Strange, he was only a little drenched. What was going on…
