Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 42: Kangaroo and Bow

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The last elf fell. He stared at the sky, his body like a log.

In his vision, the beautiful human woman bent down.

The elf’s wavy hair was hanging down, with a beautiful and strange fragrance on her body, and there was even a pair of peaks hanging like a bell… Then, he felt a chill in his throat.

Blood surged out, and his life quickly flowed away.

This was already the third group of elves who had been ambushed.

“Elves, don’t call me despicable.” Cleveland said in a low voice, “This is for the people who died on the Iron Fist Bane, as well as for the countless sacrifices of Goethe. Hateful invaders, may your souls have nowhere to rest.”

He looked at the other party’s eyes which were filled with regret. Those eyes revealed pain and nostalgia. Perhaps at the moment of death, living beings would truly understand what they were about to lose.

However, all of this had nothing to do with him.

The knight reached into the other party’s collar and pulled off the beast tooth accessory on his neck. The magic technology of elves was very common. Almost every elf would be given magical accessories from their parents, mentors, and even friends when they grew up. The quality and effect depended on their class and background.

Of course, the noble elves with noble bloodlines would obtain expensive and powerful enchanted accessories, but the gifts the common elves received were much worse, but they were still practical things… For example, the necklace with the illumination spell, the ring that could nourish the source of life, and so on.

Before the elf died, he saw the knight pull off his necklace. He did not know where he got the strength to actually raise his hand with all his might, wanting to take this thing back, but he was already too tired.

The knight waved his right hand and used his sword to cut the other party’s arm to the side. Blood splattered.

Perhaps this accessory was extremely important to this elf. He must have his story, his life, and his family or lover.

However, there were also Goethe people. Every Goethe person who had died at the hands of the elves had one.

Therefore, Cleveland was not interested.

He stepped over the corpse that had died with remaining grievances and walked to his next target.

Kang De watched all of this and recorded it in his notebook, “His resistance to electric current and flames is no different from humans. His senses are sharper than humans, and his body structure is almost the same as humans. His heart supplies blood, his brain thinks, his lungs breathe, and his balls will be in so much pain if kicked that he’ll want to die.”

He looked at the two elves who had died the most miserably and could not help but shiver.

How should he put it… Although among the various techniques and combat techniques that aimed to kill, seducing the netherworld had always been an extremely important move since ancient times. After all, who would f*cking talk about morals and honor when fighting with their lives on the line? Of course, they would do it in an effective way and save themselves the trouble.

This was the case on Earth, and it was the same for the alternate world. Since the elves had the same weaknesses as humans, playing dirty was part of the tactic. If they were unhappy, they could simply die.

Although he said that and understood the logic, when he saw Cleveland wearing a beautiful little skirt and long high-heeled boots, the corners of his skirt flying, and the black silk shining…

It felt really strange.

“I keep feeling that he’s already starting to get used to killing people in female clothes…” Kang De muttered, “In the beginning, he even stabbed and attacked with his sword and shield. Now, he’s even learned to kick…”

The princess nodded at the side and said, “That’s right. Knight Cleveland is indeed the most eye-catching genius in Goethe in recent years. Now, it seems that his talent is not only reflected in the path of a knight. Even if he’s an assassin, he’ll definitely still be dazzling in another domain…”

“…The two of you.”

Cleveland’s sigh sounded from afar. “If you want to speak ill of me behind my back, can you not say it in a voice I can hear?”

Tina and Kang De laughed together.

If they talked about something lighter, the corpses and blood on the ground would not be so dazzling… probably.

The princess covered her mouth and chuckled as she stole a glance at Kang De’s expression.

For some reason, Kang De’s calm expression made her feel a little afraid.

Kang De noticed the other party’s gaze and Tina immediately looked away like a frightened rabbit. He wanted to say something, but he heard Knight say, “Mr. Kang De, wait a moment. It’ll be done soon.”

Kang De said, “Actually, there’s no need to do this. I’m not that weak.”

From the beginning until now, the knight had insisted on not letting him help. Be it helping in the battle, killing the enemy after the battle, or even looting corpses to find equipment, he did not allow Kang De to interfere. He simply treated him as someone even more delicate than Tina… This kind of unprovoked care and respect made Kang De feel a little uncomfortable.

However, the gorilla did not allow him to go. Even the kangaroo, who did not care about anything other than snacks, stopped him.

Kang De was not stupid. He had roughly guessed the inside story.

Had he been seen through?

However… he did not seem to be that fragile.

There was a clatter as Miss Fran walked towards him with the spoils of war.

Speaking of which, geniuses with extremely high combat talent and excellent bone structure were indeed different. It had only been a short while, but Mr. Knight had already mastered the most reasonable, energy-saving, and stable way to walk in high-heeled boots. Just looking at his lower body was f*cking charming.

If it was posted online, it would become a lewd scene, the kind that would be licked by idiots.

Kang De could not bear to watch.

Therefore, he turned around and whispered, “Not only did he sacrifice a lot in this battle, but I’m also under a lot of pressure. After this is over, I have to see more truly beautiful girls and forget the scene I saw today to clean my mind…”

With the support of the hard disk and the countless erotic pictures on his phone, Kang De expressed that he was not flustered at all. It was not like he had never seen a mere cross-dresser before. It was fine after seeing it.

However, the princess blushed.

After hearing Kang De’s words, she was first stunned, then her face turned red at a visible speed. She blinked extremely frequently, her eyes filled with panic as she stammered, “I… I…”

Kang De was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

Why was she blushing?

Wait.

Ah, I understand!

A thought flashed through Kang De’s mind.

Hmph, I’m not an innocent man.

He had to understand women’s hearts! Women were all beautiful creatures and cared a lot about their appearance. They were unwilling to lose to others in terms of looks and hated being compared to others the most.

Therefore, she must be a little lacking in confidence and even unhappy now!

Cleveland was a man! How did it feel to be inferior to a man in terms of beauty?

Kang De understood. He completely understood.

He revealed a warm smile and said sincerely, “Don’t mind him. Cleveland only relied on makeup and the necklace to achieve such an effect. He’s a man after all. How can he be compared to you? You’ll definitely look much better than him in this. Coupled with the necklace, you’ll definitely be peerless…”

The princess’s face turned even redder. She became flustered and even took two steps back. She shielded herself with her hands and stammered, “I… you… Mr. Kang De, please respect yourself!”

—Ah?

—What did I do?

Just as Kang De was feeling puzzled, the knight also saw the scene here. He quickened his pace and walked over, his tone puzzled, “Mr. Kang De, Your Highness, what happened?”

Kang De looked stunned.

The princess’s face was still a little red as she whispered, “No… nothing.”

The knight frowned. “Is it really nothing?”

The princess shook her head forcefully. “It’s really nothing.”

However, she still rolled her eyes at Kang De vaguely.

—Kang De’s country is really full of lecherous people. Kang De is also lecherous. He actually wants me to wear that kind of clothes for him to see.

Hmph.

This was only a small interlude. After all, it was a battle of life and death, so they did not have the time to dwell on the feelings of man and woman.

The spoils of war were similar. The only things worth collecting were the magic accessories of the elves and the weapons and equipment of the archers… However, the bows and swords could not be carried anymore. The excess weapons were brought to a nearby cave by Second Senior Brother’s lackeys to hide for other purposes.

According to Cleveland, there were a few true warriors on the Penguin who could use the elves’ broadsword and giant battle bow. These weapons were prepared for them.

Next was to deal with the corpses and let the various animals on the island poop.

“It’s the third wave.”

Kang De crossed the map.

There were a total of 30 groups of elves scattered in 30 areas on the island. The location of the three groups of people Kang De had chosen was particular because these elves had a mechanism to contact each other regularly. The principle of choosing a target involved a mathematical algorithm, which was to minimize the possibility of the elves discovering that their allies were missing.

“We’re almost at the limit.”

Kang De said, “If we continue killing, the elves will discover the problem sooner or later. If they increase their vigilance, the tactic of seducing women will not be able to be used.”

The knight’s face darkened. “Please don’t use this saying…”

Kang De naturally ignored his protest.

Once the elves were vigilant, this method would indeed not work. After all, they already knew that there was a problem. According to the personality of the elf soldiers, when they saw a human woman running over, no matter how beautiful or tempting she was, they would definitely immediately shoot her to death and end everything.

At most, they would take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, this method could not be used.

The knight hesitated.

In his mood, he naturally hoped to end this hellish trip in female clothes as soon as possible. However, from the perspective of the battle, he still hoped to kill a few more groups of elves.

The more elves he killed in a surprise attack, the fewer casualties his side would have after the main battle erupted.

It was a very simple and easy-to-understand algorithm.

Therefore, he still said, “I think we can kill a few more groups.”

“It’s better to be careful.”

Kang De said, “It’s necessary to try our best to reduce the other party’s strength, but from the perspective of the entire plan, our goal is not here. Also…”

He glanced at the knight. “Your endurance and stamina are almost at their limit, right?”

Humans were not machines. Without the support of supernatural powers, they could only rely on pure physical strength to fight. How could they deal with long-term high-intensity battles when they were tired and tense?

The knight shook his head and said, “Fortunately, I can rest and replenish myself on the way. As a knight…”

Kang De interrupted him. “What about Tina?”

This was the knight’s weakness. Hearing this, Cleveland revealed a compromise.

Tina said, “I can do that too…”

“Alright, stop arguing. I proposed the plan, so I’ll make the decision.”

Kang De shook the map in his hand. “We’ve already caused a certain amount of damage to the enemy. Next, it’s time to alert them. Let them realize that the Goethe people are on the island and let them search for their missing teammates like headless flies. Let them accidentally discover the whereabouts of the Goethe people and some traces of the ancient civilization, then draw their attention to that rift valley.”

“Let them pour a large amount of strength into the island and let them pursue the Goethe people at all costs. It’s best to let them fight the black beasts inside and suffer heavy losses. Then, take advantage of this time to deploy a large amount of strength to the island…”

He said in a low voice, “Let’s… mess with their ship!”

The knight and the princess were stunned.

Even if they had a faint guess, they had still personally heard Kang De talk about his entire plan.

It was very interesting and unexpected, but…

Tina said tactfully, “Kang De, it’s a very exciting plan, but you’re from Cathay and don’t understand the situation on the continent. Even if the elf battleship is empty, it still has an extremely powerful defense. Even if the magic attack platform can’t be used, even if the spellcaster troops of the ship can’t use it, it’s still the main ship of the Twilight Dynasty. It has a powerful ballista array and an extremely sturdy hull…”

The knight was afraid that the princess would make Kang De unhappy if she said too much, so he hurriedly continued, “I can tell you clearly that even if the Penguin recovers its mobility and sails straight for the Wayne Wings to engage in a naval battle, our chances of winning won’t be too high… Sea battles are different from land battles. Land battles require strategy and courage, but only large ships can win small ships in sea battles. Numbers always win…”

Kang De smiled. “But you have us now. Don’t worry, you don’t have to drive the ship. I’ll think of a way and plan. It’s best if we can capture the other party’s ship. At the very least, we have to sink it.”

The knight and the princess looked at each other and said carefully, “Mr. Kang De, don’t tell me you want to dive over and chisel the ship… I know that you might have some animal companions in the sea. Moreover, Wayne Wings stays in the calm shallow sea area. This method is indeed feasible.”

“However, the watertight compartment technology of the elves is very mature. Moreover, the wood of the hull has been specially designed. Once the crew discovers that someone is chiseling the ship, they will control the hull mechanism of this part to release a huge amount of plant poison. This is a battle tactic to guard against sea creatures. They’re already very familiar with it…”

Kang De still nodded. “I see. I understand… but don’t worry, no problem.”

He was not very confident that he could capture that elf battleship, but it was not difficult to sink it… After all, when the elf designer designed the defense of the battleship, he would definitely not have thought that there was a strange supernatural power in the world called Element Extraction.

They could only shout something like, “Where’s the bottom of my ship? I placed such a huge bottom here…”

Of course, sinking the ship was only a last resort.

When he thought of this, Kang De smiled and said, “Don’t worry, leave it to me… Moreover, there’s no need to worry about this at this stage. We have other things to worry about… We have to kill the fourth wave of elves and alert them.”

He pointed at the map in his hand. It was a group of elves near the rift valley. “There are nine elves in this group. Apart from two soldiers and five sailors, the remaining two must be elf officers. The strength of the enemy is unknown. We have to go all out.”

Kang De looked at the knight. “I’ll help.”

The knight subconsciously shook his head. “No, leave it to me…”

“I’m afraid you can’t deal with such a situation,” Kang De said. “It’s decided. I’ll assist in the attack. Don’t underestimate me…”

Cleveland still shook his head. “No, please let me try first. If I’m not at a disadvantage, please continue to protect the princess. You don’t have to take the risk yourself…”

Kang De frowned and said, “I told you, I’m not a weak person…”

Before he could finish speaking, a wide palm landed on Kang De’s shoulder. Turning around, the gorilla punched its chest with its other hand, indicating that it could take the role.

Kang De rejected, “No, it’s fine…”

Although the gorilla’s combat strength was very high, it did not like to fight. This was what he knew.

However, at this moment, the gorilla was persevering.

At this moment, another claw landed on the gorilla’s head.

Kang De and the gorilla looked over at the same time.

It was the kangaroo.

The kangaroo put on a proud expression at the gorilla. Then, it stuffed all the candy in its hand into its mouth and chewed. It jumped in front of Kang De and displayed its developed chest muscles.

Kang De wanted to laugh, “…Kangaroo, thank you for your kindness. The other party are elves. They have bows and other weapons. They’re different from black beasts. At the very least, the gorilla has a steel rod. You don’t have armor or weapons. It’s very disadvantageous to fight the elves in close combat. How can you block their weapons?”

The kangaroo revealed a disdainful expression.

It stretched out its claws and took off the huge battle bow that Kang De was carrying. It held it in its claws and gestured to Kang De, meaning, “I’ll use this.”

Its claws could not even completely hold the bow.

The extension of the pair of upper limbs was also not accurate.

Not to mention the structure of its body, how could a mere kangaroo use the bow of a humanoid creature?

However, Kang De could not laugh.

He did not know if it was an illusion, but he actually saw extreme confidence and sharpness in the kangaroo’s two black eyes. It was as if after holding the bow, this lazy foodie had become different.

A thought appeared in his mind.

The kangaroo used to… be an archer.
