Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 10

Our Era

When large splashes of gasoline fell from the sky, Knight Cleveland felt the danger of death.

Although he did not recognize gasoline, the pungent smell was very dangerous.

It was not poison.

It was…

He struggled to open his eyes and forced his body to recover from the attack of the flash bomb. He looked around for Kang De and discovered that the Cathayan had already left for a distance. He was holding a small metal box with a cluster of flames on it.

He also saw the other party’s calm and almost cold eyes.

Kang De threw the lighter without hesitation.

In an instant, the knight understood the use of the liquid that fell from the sky.

He suddenly roared and pulled out the dagger from the interlayer of his armor. The death threat close at hand made him perform beyond his usual level. He shot out an extremely shocking blade, and the fast-flying blade tore through the air, passing through the falling lighter and flying into the distance.

“This is magic oil!”

The knight said sternly, “Everyone! Retreat! Retreat! Go to the river! Run!”

The soldiers retreated in panic.

Kang De’s gaze was cold and his killing intent did not waver. He grabbed his pistol and raised his hand to shoot at the ground.

Another shot rang out. The pellet struck the stone on the ground, causing sparks to fly. The volatile gasoline mixed with the air, and the flammable gas exploded, causing flames to surge.

However, in the next moment, an iron boot fell from the sky and stepped in the middle of the flames. It paused and stuck out, and a large piece of soil was sent flying. The wind pressure dispersed the oxygen and stopped the flames from spreading, “D*mned Cathayan!”

Kang De’s gaze was indifferent as he touched another fire axe with his left hand.

I’ll kill you first, tin can.

Although the sword was knocked out of his hand by the flying axe, although he had just thrown the dagger, and although the other party had various strange and terrifying long-range weapons, the bare-handed knight still strode towards Kang De.

He knew that if this Cathayan was free, all his companions present would be lit into burning fireballs and die miserably in intense wailing and pain.

He wanted to buy his companion time to escape.

—It’s useless.

Kang De took a deep breath and roared, “Kill them!”

—You have companions, but so do I.

There was a rumble in the distance. The gorilla carried a thick steel rod and ran side by side with the kangaroo. The groundhog and wolverine stood on its shoulder. The birds in the sky cried and dangerous animals swooped down.

Kang De shot at the knight again.

The metal bullet struck the armor and ignited the volatile gasoline on the surface, but it did not burn. White light seemed to flash through the armor, and the pistol bullet could not break through the defense.

Shotgun.

With a bang, several large black rubber bullets shot into the air. The knight did not have a weapon in his hand, so he raised his wrist guard to block his head and face side by side. It actually covered him completely. The bullets struck, and the huge force made the bones in his arm hurt. The huge stopping effect caused the momentum of the charge to decrease.

However, the knight still continued to charge without any hesitation.

His defense could not be broken and the armor seemed to be fireproof.

If he got closer, the Molotov cocktail would easily backfire.

It was fine.

Kang De let go of the shotgun. He pulled out the fire axe with his left hand and held the electric baton with his right.

He rushed forward.

‘I’m going to smash your dog head today!’

The eyes of the two sides were already red from fighting. The two furious men had completely lost their cool.

No one came to teach him combat techniques, so Kang De did not have systematic combat training. His close-range combat ability was all dependent on his own exploration and blind practice, especially his axe techniques. He only pursued strength and speed. He did not care about anything else. There was only one move—to chop the knight’s head off!

The fire axe struck the tough armor.

The knight suddenly stopped and adjusted his distance. He turned right and grabbed Kang De’s axe wrist with his left hand. He wanted to break the right hand of this Cathayan, but as soon as he touched it, the mountain-like weight pressed down.

—This Easterner is so strong!

Cleveland reacted extremely quickly. His right hand immediately raised, and his knee bent and paused, trying to resolve the force. However, Kang De’s other hand had already silently struck, and the electric baton stabbed the other party’s heart.

He activated it at full power.

The electric baton crackled.

The knight did not move.

—Useless

Cleveland’s gaze was cold. He had already determined the killing principle of this thing when Kang De used the electric baton just now. The ignorant Cathayan did not know that all the knight armor on the continent had an insulated coating. Otherwise, the heavy cavalry battle formation would have long been swept into the trash of history by the air mages!

‘You’ve been tricked!’

Kang De reacted extremely quickly. The electric baton immediately pointed at the knight’s exposed head and face, but Cleveland roared and suddenly exerted strength with both hands. He grabbed one of Kang De’s hands and used all his strength to throw him over his shoulder with great force.

—I’ll throw him to the ground. If I press down again, I’ll win!

Therefore, Kang De assumed a horse stance. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

The knight could not move him at all.

The horse stance was the only basic skill that Kang De, who did not know Chinese martial arts, knew.

Without hesitation, he threw away the stun baton, grabbed the pistol again, and aimed it at Cleveland’s head.

He fired.

Bang.

The knight shook his head and dodged.

However, the action of dodging involved his energy, causing the grip of his hands to be no longer strong. The stalemate was broken. Kang De swept his leg and pressed down with his right hand, roaring angrily.

“Go down!”

With a bang, the knight was pressed to the ground with his armor. Kang De pressed his knee against his breastplate and raised his gun to shoot. Bang, another shot. The knight tilted his head and a small hole appeared in the ground.

The two of them had ferocious expressions and fought desperately. Kang De had already thrown away the fire axe and held one of the knight’s hands tightly. The left hand that was holding the gun was also desperately restrained by Cleveland’s other hand. The focus of the battle was the latter. Kang De’s eyes were sharp as the muzzle moved millimeter by millimeter towards his head.

It had already reached the point of life and death.

In the blink of an eye, the situation had become chaotic.

No one had expected this situation.

“Stop! Stop!”

The anxious voice approached.

It was Tina’s voice.

When the princess heard the gunshot, she felt that something was wrong. By the time she ran to the top of the slope and saw the situation below, the gasoline had already poured down. The sailors fled in all directions. Mr. Kang De and the commander had already begun to fight. She shouted, but it was too far away and the wind blew away her voice. She wanted to run down, but the slope was too steep and she was not good at running.

Therefore, she gritted her teeth and sat on the ground. Then, she rolled down.

However, the battle between men was really too intense and fast.

Two men in extremely unstable mental states fought ruthlessly.

Things seemed to have been destined from the beginning… The people of the other world gave up the possibility of peaceful negotiation.

The princess staggered towards him.

The sailors who had hidden in the river to wash the “magic oil” sounded the horn and called their surrounding companions. They wanted to go out and help the commander, but the magical beasts had already arrived at the battlefield.

Then, they saw the princess. She looked fine and anxiously said to stop.

“Your Highness!”

They shouted.

“The commander…”

The princess turned a deaf ear and ran desperately, shouting, “Stop! Everyone stop!”

However, Kang De did not understand her language.

Or rather, he no longer wanted to understand.

The people of the other world chose to kill.

Yet, his life was more important than everyone here combined.

Because he wanted to return home alive and could not take any risks, he ignored the possibility of reconciliation.

Cleveland heard her shout and felt surprised and happy.

Then, he shouted, “Your Highness! Please leave! It’s very dangerous here! Leave quickly! This Cathayan is crazy!”

The princess shouted, “Don’t hurt him!”

The girl called out again, “Mr. Kang De! Kang De! Kang De!”

Kang De did not even turn around. He still tried to aim the gun at the Caucasians of the other world and roared, “Get lost! Don’t approach me!”

The princess came too late.

The conflict had already begun, so it was very difficult to stop.

Due to his lonely life this year, there was a huge problem with Kang De’s mental state. Usually, he could try his best to adjust and relax, but after encountering a life-threatening danger, after encountering this unreasonable death crisis, after encountering a situation where he almost died in a foreign land and could not return home, he erupted.

To hell with women and to hell with the other world. He only wanted to kill all the b*stards who dared to harm him now, not a single one would be left.

The princess ignored him, or rather, she did not understand Kang De’s words. She only increased her speed and ran towards him. As she ran, she shouted, “Please stop! Kang De! Kang De!”

—Tina is quickly approaching from behind.

All the native otherworlders had already been classified as enemies by Kang De.

They were all on the same side.

—Will she stab me in the back if she gets close to me

A fierce glint flashed through his eyes. He pulled out the nail gun with his left hand and turned to shoot at the princess without any hesitation.

“B*stard!” When Cleveland saw this scene, his handsome face instantly twisted. He had already experienced the power of firearms and knew that these strange weapons had far more performance and power than crossbows.

“Unforgivable!”

He did not know where he got the strength from, but his entire body collided with it.

Kang De raised his left hand because of this, and the sharp steel nail rushed into the sky. He was furious. He raised his right hand and the handle of the pistol ruthlessly struck the knight’s head.

With a bang, blood flowed. Cleveland was smashed to the ground.

What a great opportunity. Kang De did not hesitate to aim at the other party’s eyes.

At this moment, a warm light shone behind him.

This light suddenly rose and seven-colored starlight bloomed. Complex light patterns intertwined in the air, emitting endless light and heat. Kang De subconsciously turned around.

Tina stood in the starlight.

Her entire body was wrapped in a strange light, and a complicated array bloomed behind her like a flower.

The Goethe soldiers who were prepared to fight with their knives were stunned on the spot. They even ignored the threat of those terrifying animals. With a bang, the short knife in someone’s hand fell to the ground.

They widened their eyes and even opened their mouths in extreme shock.

Even the animals.

The wolverine, rooster, swan, kangaroo, pigeon, parrot…

These magical animals looked at the array that appeared behind Tina and forgot to fight. They were only a group of animals, but at this moment, looking at this scene, extreme shock flashed through their eyes.

There was also sadness.

There was also nostalgia.

The entire battlefield seemed to have stopped.

So was Kang De, and so was Knight Cleveland.

The knight vaguely saw this resplendent starlight.

He muttered, “No… no…”

In the silence, only Tina Tedrell walked slowly over, every step a star.

She looked miserable. Her clothes were covered in dust and there were a few weeds in her hair, but now she looked like a holy goddess. She came to Kang De’s side and stretched out her arm, slowly hugging him. She closed her eyes and muttered an obscure incantation in his ear.

Kang De’s posture froze.

His mind unknowingly calmed down.

Tina’s whispers echoed in his ears. He did not seem to understand the words, but he seemed to understand the meaning. He felt something gradually appear in his mind. He felt his body gradually change. Some changes could be explained, but others could not.

However, the most obvious change was that he slowly understood what Tina was saying.

At first, it was a few words, then a simple sentence, and finally a complicated and awkward incantation.

“To all humans who are as small and insignificant as dust, may this endless starry sky always be our era.”
