Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 590: 590
Stopping Kant!

The central island, the location of the Flame Son Light Spear Shooting Array.

It was a half-buried Eternal Fortress.

The dome opened like an observatory, and the core of destruction shone and spun. The inner wall of the dome was branded with a large number of energy-gathering runes. The destructive beam shot out from here, passing through the array of mage towers in various directions, reflecting the destructive rays to every corner of the sea.

In the central control panel, numerous spellcasters and apprentices were maintaining a large number of magical components and rune furnaces. The commander was observing the situation outside through Eagle Eye and Atmospheric Penetration Array.

Everyone was at their posts, but no one could maintain their full concentration. There were traces of blood on the ground, and the staff of the launch array could not help but peek at the cloud map.

Not long ago, they had launched an attack on Kant from Skyquaking.

Now, they also knew that the other party’s counterattack was coming.

The joint attack launched earlier did not have any effect on the people of Aurora or even his fleet. The only result was that they had angered the most dangerous lunatic in the world.

And their boss didn’t care at all.

” Contact the fifth Magus Tower again!”

Before the cloud map, the person in charge of the Flame Son Light Spear Array roared. He could no longer remain calm. His tone was filled with anxiety and fury. I already know what they are thinking! Every year, the Island Master takes out countless gold coins to hire them. Now, they have to show their value!”

He suddenly turned around, his malicious eyes filled with vicious killing intent. His spiritual power was almost condensed into substance, oppressing the messenger in charge of the short-distance communication device.

” Tell them,” the Fortress Manager said coldly.” The Flame Child Light Spear must be launched through the Mage Tower’s Deflective Prism. Without their help, we will not be able to hit Kant’s fleet.”

“But I can attack them directly!”

“You just need to adjust the prism a little bit, and the light spear will hit the mage tower itself instead of the deflecting prism! Tell them clearly! If they cooperate with me and attack Kant, they might not necessarily die. However, if they cower in fear and refuse us, I can kill them right now! Tell them to listen up!”

“Fifteen seconds! I must see the refraction prism come online within 15 seconds!”

“Don’t try to escape! I’m watching them!”

The messenger replied in a panic, and then quickly sent a message to the fifth mage tower.

” Damn it!” The manager took a deep breath and threw the glass beside him to the ground.” Damn it!”

The Flame Child Light Spear Heavy Fire Element Launcher that he had purchased from the Arcane Magic Council was the most feared part of the Broken Islands ‘defense system.

With the guidance of the mage tower formation, the invincible, scorching light spears could hit any area in the shattered sea. Their range, speed, and power were so great that even the most advanced capital ships of the Sunset Moon Dynasty could not withstand more than four shots.

There was no way to resolve or dodge such an attack.

Because the attack range was too far.

No warship would be able to launch a counterattack at such a distance, and even if they could, it would be difficult to destroy the refraction prism of the mage tower, because the island’s defense system could block magic attacks!

Until today, they all thought so.

They felt that any fleet could forget about touching the Broken Islands. The powerful magic devices of the fortress could destroy all invaders. They were even indignant about the weakness of the island masters a few days ago.

Kant had provoked them a few days ago and even scattered the bodies of the victims in the Pioneer Square. He should have been killed immediately! We can do it!

And why did the island masters let it go and compromise? They allowed Kant’s fleet to flaunt their might in the Broken Isles and openly evacuate their citizens. They even dared to threaten us. We could have easily sunk them!

All the dissatisfaction and complaints after drinking finally disappeared today.

Now, they finally understood that the island masters ‘caution and hesitation were not without reason.

The Flame Son Light Spear only struck out a few times, and the mage tower responsible for deflecting the light was destroyed.

A pillar of fire rose from the front of Kant’s ship on the atmospheric cloud map. The alchemy weapon that spewed flames from its tail was like an arrow shot by the moon god. It arrived in an instant. Then, the upper half of the mage tower was shattered. Rocks flew everywhere, smoke billowed, the tower collapsed, and the prism shattered.

The backup mage tower only tested one shot before it was shot into the soul.

The third mage tower had just been successfully connected and was in the process of reassembling itself to the attack position. The shining blade of light slid right in front of Kant’s ship and was destroyed by the alchemical weapon that was several times stronger.

The three mage towers collapsed one after another. The manager of the fortress was determined and immediately contacted the No. 4 backup tower. However, seeing the tragic state of his colleagues, the mages on duty of the No. 4 tower were terrified. After the person in charge coerced and bribed them to order the prism to come online, the fourth missile was fired before it could be activated.

The fifth Magus Tower refused to raise the prism no matter what.

“Five seconds left!” He looked at the cloud map and shouted,” Why hasn’t the prism been raised yet?!”

“They, they said they quit!” The herald panicked.

“Traitor!”

The manager stretched out his hand and pressed on the Star Chart Array Disk in front of him. Light appeared and the illusory light enveloped his five fingers. He turned his wrist without hesitation. The dome jet device above him rumbled and the dome jet device that was exposed to the ground slightly lowered. Then, countless light spots gathered and the Flame Son Light Spear shot out brilliantly!

Amidst the sound of Zirazra, the crimson Blade of Destruction hit the top of the mage tower. The surging heat melted the glass, destroyed the outer wall, and detonated the arcane circuit. The white tower was like butter that had been cut by a heated blade. It was split into two and then collapsed!

” Contact the sixth Magus Tower!”

The supervisor looked around at the staff present with a gloomy expression.” I repeat, the Broken Islands have given you countless gold coins, generous treatment, and enjoyment every year for this moment! Do you think this money is so easy to earn? It’s time for you to do your job!”

“If anyone dares to escape, shake the hearts of the people, or start a rebellion, the few idiots in this tower just now will end up like you! There’s no need for Kant to kill you. I’ll let you die in extreme pain!”

“Did you hear that!”

Whether it was sincere or not, people responded loudly because the supervisor’s eyes were full of murderous intent, and more importantly, because there were many fully armed and dumbstruck death soldiers standing in the corner of the control room.

Only now did they know that the Broken Islands were not a paradise.

Before today, working in the security department of the Broken Islands was one of the most ideal jobs for mages. The risk of war was extremely low, and even pirates did not dare to come here. However, the island masters never slacked off and still maintained generous treatment. Even if the frequency of drills, drills, and assessments was very frequent, it was still the best place for mages to work because of the generous salary and the many services provided by the internal staff.

But now, they finally understood.

He understood a mage creed that he should have remembered for the rest of his life from the first lesson.

Everything was equivalent.

” What?” The person-in-charge strode over to another liaison officer and asked coldly,” Has there been no reply from the lord?”

“Yes, I sent a message to the castle once every three minutes, but there was no response!” The liaison officer hurriedly replied. The messenger we sent out has also disappeared…”

“.. Damn it!”

The manager of the fortress cursed.

The Broken Islands were attacked by a large number of underwater creatures. Ships, docks, and coasts were attacked. This was a critical moment. The Flame Son Light Spear Array had received orders from its master, who was also the island’s master. It took this opportunity to launch a thunderous attack on Kant and his minions.

Putting aside whether it was wise to start a war with Kant or not, it would be a terrible mistake to not immediately mobilize the island’s defense system to suppress a monster attack and instead free up their hands to attack Kant.

However, the island master’s order was completely carried out.

[What a joke. The Flame Child Light Spear, the Catapult, the Raging Tide, and other heavy magic devices are so important that it’s not an exaggeration to say that they’re divine artifacts that can suppress the sea. As the Island Master of this island and the actual ruler of the Broken Islands, I’m ordering my weapons that cost a lot of money to open fire. Do you think it’s wise for me to let you employees think about it?]

Of course, the island masters had to ensure that the heavy weapons on their islands could follow orders and attack wherever they were pointed.

This was the drawback of a monarch’s autocracy.

Always wise, always victorious, it is your great talent.

However, if something went wrong, you would be a big idiot. No one would take the blame for you.

The order to attack was clearly unwise. More than 20 fortress magic devices were pointed at Kant’s ships, but most of them were immediately extinguished by the forbidden spell.

Only the three Longsong Cannons that were determined to obey the Island Master’s orders continued to attack.

Not only was it futile, but it had also successfully provoked Kant’s anger and hostility.

“It’s all these cowards!”

The manager of the fortress cursed angrily. If the cowards on the other islands had not stopped their attacks and added another gate, Kant’s warship would not have been able to show off so arrogantly.

As he cursed, he urged them to continue contacting the sixth Magus Tower.

However, he was already feeling uneasy.

Ever since the order to attack was issued, there had been no sound from the castle where Master lived.

Moreover, the master of the island had ordered all the magic devices on the twelve main islands to attack, and the fortresses on the other islands had also responded. This meant that the master had gathered all the authority of the tokens.

However, Kant’s Forbidden Spell had succeeded in deterring them, but the twenty-two Fortress Magic Devices on the eleven main islands had all died and never came online again. This meant that their master had not reached an agreement with the other island masters!

So… What was the situation now?

Kant’s army was pressing down on the border, the deep-sea monsters were attacking from all directions, the central island was leaderless and without command, and the communication of the Sea-suppressing Castle was cut off. What should they do now?

“Continue to contact the town…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry of surprise. The person in charge turned his head abruptly. On the cloud map projected by the atmospheric perspective, another arrow shot out from Kant’s ship and soared into the sky.

” The sixth wizard tower has been destroyed!”

“This damn…”

Foul-mouthed words spewed out, and the curses lasted for dozens of seconds. However, all the staff members heaved a sigh of relief. That was because that was the last mage tower that could attack the sea area where Kant was.

In other words, they could no longer attack.

“My lord!”

“The enemy ship is about to arrive at the resort beach in the southwest!” the observation team reported.

” There are monsters in the sea. They can’t hold on any longer. Of course, they have to land. They’re courting death!” The Fortress Manager said coldly as he rushed to the cloud map. His eyebrows kept twitching.

To be fair, landing on the island was a wise move.

Not to mention the fact that combat units like warships were unable to cope with the large number of underwater monsters, they also had to go ashore to face the threat of the island’s powerful fortress magic device.

Among the three fortress magic devices on the central island, the Raging Tide was the most powerful. It was a full-powered attack. With the enhancement of the fortress arrays on the other islands, it could overturn a small fleet with one shot. However, the price of its great power was that it took a long time to charge, and there was a huge limitation.

For example, if the target was on the shore, the Raging Tide would be useless. At most, it would create a small tsunami, which could only attack the enemy on the shore.

Now that the six mage towers of the Flame Son Light Spear had been destroyed, the Raging Tide was useless on land. There was only one catapult soldier left. It was not a big threat to Kant’s alchemical warship, but…

“But what we have is a complete defense system!” he sneered.

More than 20 fortresses that had been forged with a lot of money were just one of them.

A large number of Bright Castles, hidden fortresses, permanent fortresses, hired troops, and mages were sent to the elite troops of the Twilight Moon Dynasty for training every year. The best weapons and armor, warhorses, arrows, spears, frequently updated enchanted equipment, high-intensity training exercises, and even pirates to practice every year. Although the Broken Islands was an island country, the strength of the army and the quality of the equipment were also at the level of a world-class country!

Our imaginary enemy is the Royal Army of the Sunset Moon Dynasty!

According to the drill plan that was formulated to defend against the landing of the Elven Ace Legion, the Imperial Army equipment purchased from the Empire, and the army forged with gold coins and the flames of war, what could Kant use to fight if he did not use Forbidden Spells? Just with the thousands of navy soldiers on these ships? Use the navy to fight the army ashore?

What a joke!

“Let’s log in!” He said disdainfully,” You’ll soon find out what a nightmare is…”

” The island’s defense system is based on the destruction of heavy magic devices, defensive fleets, and other strategic forces. This is to ensure that in extreme environments, the defensive forces can still rely on favorable terrain and permanent fortifications. Under the combined spell attacks of the three golden fleets and the five main magicized battle groups of the Twilight Moon Dynasty, they can fight against the invading landing forces on the island…”

“It’s not something your alchemy weapons can shake!”

“Get me Soket!” he said after some thought.

This time, the short-distance communication was quickly connected. The supervisor picked up the voice transmission stone. The hollow part vibrated and restored the other party’s voice.” What’s the matter?”

” Soket, Kant is about to lead his army ashore,” the supervisor said coldly.” Take your men and rely on the defensive positions and permanent fortifications to resist. Master is watching us…”

“Are you teaching me how to do things?” A rough voice interrupted him.

The supervisor frowned.

” Shut up and watch, you useless fellow,” said Saucot impatiently.” In just twenty minutes, the assault legions and cavalry of the Western Camp and the northern outpost will pin Kant’s laughable marines to death on the beach. I will lead my troops to launch an attack!”

The supervisor’s expression changed. You idiot! Stop the plan! Can’t you see how powerful Kant’s alchemy weapon is?”

” I’ve already contacted them. The tactical magic devices in the nearby permanent positions will support us. The mages have also begun to move out!”

“-but you’ll still have to suffer casualties! Why did he not use his advantage? You should rely on the fortifications to delay and resist, not…”

“Alright! You’re the stupid one!”

“Do you really think we can hold on?” he roared. Even if they could defeat the navy, could they withstand Kant’s Forbidden Spell? Would they be able to stop Kant’s troops or even the armies of the three kingdoms that were coming after them? This is our only chance!”

” We’ll take advantage of Kant’s landing to launch a surprise attack. Capture them as many as we can!” The voice was filled with unease and fear. With a hostage in hand, he could negotiate with Kant! He could even negotiate with the elves, the council, and the empire! This is my goal! Do you understand?

Otherwise, tell me what I should do.”

The supervisor opened his mouth.

“Damn it! How is Master doing? There was no command, no response, no order! We can only think of a way ourselves! You useless fellow, do what you have to do!”

The communication was abruptly terminated.

The supervisor was silent for a moment before he ordered,”Now!” Everyone! Seal the control components! Extinguishing the furnace core! We are preparing to evacuate!

The Flame Son Light Spear is no longer useful, staying here is just a waste of time. We need to go to the battlefield!”

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned around in shock.

“What are you looking at!” The supervisor shouted,” Who wants to stay here and get attacked by Kant?”

Only then did the alchemists and apprentices hurriedly get up. The men of sacrifice responsible for security also silently moved their positions, always forming a dual posture of protection and surveillance for the precious spellcasters. They quickly formed a team, and all the staff of the launch array were mobilized. Then, they left on the floating ladder.

The firing array of the Flame Son Lances slowly closed, and the dome that was like an observatory closed. Then, it slowly descended. At a secret exit not far away, the supervisor led his team to the surface.

He glanced in the direction of the Sea-suppressing Castle, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

It was almost certain that something had happened in the Sea-suppressing Castle, causing the communication to be cut off. There must be danger… But he had to figure out what had happened.

“Let’s go! Let’s go to the Sea-suppressing Castle!”

As he said this, he subconsciously looked southwest. The beach about ten miles away should be the direction Kant had landed in. However, it was blocked by the undulating mountains, so he could not see what was happening there.

Kant must have started to land.

I wonder if the battle with Sauket will go smoothly…

The supervisor hesitated for a moment. He wanted to fly to a higher place to take a look and see the scene over there. Then, a trace of fear suddenly flashed through his heart.

At this moment, the assistant beside him said,”It’s so quiet…”

The next moment, he heard a sharp whistling sound.

People suddenly looked up and saw that in the southwest direction, white smoke broke through the barrier of the mountain in front of them, streaking across the sky and appearing in the clouds. One after another, like a meteor shower, they rapidly fell over!

“Run!” The supervisor’s face was pale as he shouted sternly.

As he spoke, the first black shadow dragged the flames and suddenly fell on the nearby mountain!

“Boom!”

The flames were hidden, the shock waves exploded, and the sound waves and smoke surged endlessly. The world seemed to have turned black and white. Pillars of fire fell to the ground one after another. Starting from the initial point of explosion, they steadily advanced and spread to the surroundings. Explosions and booms were like the invasion of hell in an epic. The air was surging, and the smell of sulfur was spreading in the air!

Those who were running at the back were swept up by the shockwave and flew up like rag dolls. Many more people were sent flying by the earth-shattering and continuous explosions, fleeing quickly in fear.

The supervisor had already rolled twice in a row. He tried to use magic to fly, but he was overturned by the chaotic air elements. The scene behind him was like hell, and his ears were filled with the desperate screams of his colleagues. This terrible attack came suddenly, but in a flash, a flash of inspiration made him realize the truth!

This wasn’t a blow aimed at them!

Instead, it was a counter-barrage against the Flame Son Light Spear Launching Array!

Kant was here!
