Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 582: 582

Chapter 583-People of the East

As the footsteps approached, the Archmagus of Aurora, Messi Zhu, raised his short protective staff.

However, a familiar mana fluctuation came from the front. A flash of lightning flashed and disappeared. Mage Aurora tapped her wand lightly, and sparks flashed. A voice came from the front.” It’s me. It’s safe.”

The cloaked man lowered his hood, revealing his curly brown hair, high nose, and deep eyes. This was his friend, Elric. He carried a small package, put away his staff, and came to Messi Bamboo’s side. He placed the package on the rag blanket on the ground and opened it.

” The prices have increased tenfold overnight,” he cursed.” I can’t believe this is the Broken Islands. There are only some salted fish, dried meat, and flatbread. There are also some stale fruits…”

Messi Zhu put away his staff and sat down cross-legged. This was a dilapidated alley, a dark and damp corner. A shed made of wooden boards was where they had stayed since yesterday.

It was hard to describe what had happened in the past two days.

After his contract expired, the second generation Skyquaking Mage had wanted to seek refuge with Kant. However, he had been made difficult by his superior. Yesterday, he had almost been arrested and tortured, and thrown into prison.

At the critical moment, Kant’s ship had leaped over and issued an ultimatum to the Broken Islands. Although he did not know that there was a fellow countryman from the Aurora who wanted to seek refuge with him, Mei Xizhu had cleverly pulled on the tiger skin of the Aurora Dragon. After a series of threats, he left with his kidnapped friend in a swagger.

He had already bought a ticket and could set off today. He would set sail and arrive at Far Harbor tomorrow night.

But the plan was not as fast as the changes.

When they boarded the ship and were about to set off, the island masters issued a joint order to every port. The rulers of the Broken Islands requested that the docks be sealed and all ships were forbidden from leaving.

The dark clouds of war and chaotic rumors spread.

Messi Zhu noticed the strange gazes and spying of the captain and the sailors. He found an excuse and dragged Eric off the ship. The magic arcs of the two mages were very intimidating, and the crew did not dare to stop them. However, a small team soon appeared in the dock area.

” I heard it. Obviously,” Alec picked up a piece of jerky.” They’re confirming the situation of the Chinese people on the island. Everyone has to confirm…”

Mei Xizhu’s action of picking up the pear was delayed for a moment. He took a deep breath.” These bastards. They are afraid of His Highness Kant’s forbidden spell, so they want to capture the people of Skyquaking as hostages!”

“Not just them.”

As a spellcaster, be it knowledge, experience, or intelligence, they were all far superior to mortals. In this world where information was blocked and information was not developed, mages were the most knowledgeable. Elric had only gone out for a walk and guessed the plans of the island masters.

” Everyone is forbidden from leaving the island. I’ve seen it. Without exception, even those big shots who came to seek pleasure are forbidden from leaving the island. The island masters are already red-eyed from losing. They want to gamble big.”

“All the residents on the island, all the merchants from all over the world, and a large number of tourists from all over the world have become their hostages,” said the brown-haired mage. If they offend the other countries, they still have a chance to slowly make up for it. However, if they lose this time, everything they have will be over.”

Mei Xizhu was silent for a moment and sighed heavily.

“I’m sorry.” He said,” Eric, I’ve implicated you.”

He had thought that this would be a profitable deal. He had brought his friends to seek refuge with Prince Kant. Prince Kant was in need of manpower. With his companions ‘abilities, they could definitely receive better treatment than those in the Far Port. However, they were unable to leave the island now. They were not even completely out of danger.

That bastard boss must be looking for him everywhere now.

Now that the entire island was sealed off, the island masters intended to take all the people of Aurora as hostages. It was perfectly justifiable to capture him now. It was both official business and personal revenge.

The brown-haired mage pursed his lips.” Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. You have to remember what you owe me. You have to pay me back in the future.”

” If…” Mei Xizhu muttered to himself for a moment before he slowly said,” If…I mean if…if the situation is critical, you can attack and subdue me and hand me over…”

” What?” Alec raised his eyebrows and stood up.” Are you suspecting me?”

“.. I know you’re trustworthy. You’re my only friend.” Mei Xizhu also stood up and said apologetically,” But now…” That bastard Cotton must be looking for me everywhere. This will also put you in danger. I feel very sorry…”

“So?” the brown-haired mage shouted. I’ll capture you and hand you over to that bastard Cotton or some other guy in exchange for some rewards and credit. Then, when your Highness Kant razes this place to the ground, he’ll capture me, peel off my skin, use a knife to cut off all the muscles in my body, and hang me on a pole to howl for three days before dying?”

” You keep repeating in front of me,’Lord Kant hates traitors the most’and ‘Sigh, it’s all the Empire’s fault.’I’m a f * cking Empire’s man. If he finds out about this, I won’t have a good ending. He would probably hang me on a flagpole and say something like ‘The Empire is unreliable’and then use a knife to…”

“I’ll explain…”Mei Xizhu said awkwardly. Sigh, why would His Highness Kant listen to my explanation? This… Why don’t we split up…”

“-all right!”

“The Cotton and Raines Defenders saw me defecting with you,” said Alec impatiently.”What’s the point of acting separately? Sigh, I’ve already paid off the loan for ten years for the house I bought. You have to remember this well. You have to pay back the favor you owe me! Hurry up and eat now!”

“.. Oh.”

Only then did the people from Aurora sit down. They broke the bread into pieces and stuffed them into their mouths, chewing carefully.

The two of them seized the time to replenish their food and recover their strength.

“In short, we should hide like rats in the shadows now. Let’s see if there’s a safer hiding place…Then, pray that the new king you speak of has enough patience and won’t use a forbidden spell to destroy us and this dog shit island.”

“Yes.”

The two of them ate for a while. Elric was getting impatient. He spoke again.” May, we’ve arrived at Far Harbor and sought refuge with His Highness Kant. What are your plans?”

Mei Xizhu thought for a moment.” Obey orders, gain trust, make contributions, receive rewards, expand the land, then marry a clansman, have many children, and continue the bloodline. If there’s a chance, follow His Highness back to the East.”

“.. You people of Aurora are so similar.” Elric shook his head and said,” I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the daydream you’ve been having. Are you planning to sell it to your new king?”

“What?” Mei Xizhu was stunned.

” The one that you often perform. The one that always makes your colleagues in the Arcane Garrison laugh.” Elric cleared his throat and imitated the accent of the people of Aurora. He said in a deep voice,” I think that spellcasters should fight like heavy cavalry!”

“I’ve explained it many times. I’m not asking us to put on heavy armor and ride on horses…” Mei Xizhu frowned.

” Oh, yes, my friend. If that was the only thought, everyone wouldn’t be laughing.” Elric clicked his tongue and said,” You want us to sit in an iron-shelled carriage driven by a magic device and cast spells from a vertical stabilizing device. It’s best if we’re equipped with a small magic device. Pfft, is that a circus?”

“This is not a circus! This is the trend of future wars!”

Messi Zhu’s face turned red,”The mages ‘battlefield role is already redundant! “Spreading the Arcane Spell Formation, casting spells together, and launching long-range attacks under the protection of the infantry formation and the two-wing cavalry. The Magic Device Formation and the Alchemy Division are already better than us at this kind of thing. Moreover, with continuous improvement and improvement, their firepower will become stronger than now and last longer!”

“What are the advantages of a mage group over a magic device? It was mobility! We can attack together with the advancing infantry or even cavalry! Why did he hide behind the back? As for the problem of protection, we can combine the Alchemy Division and the enchanted armor…”

“.. Ah, alright, alright.”

“You’ve told me this dozens of times. Even if I admit that you’re right, what’s the point?” It’s better for you to leave such words for His Highness Kant to hear.”

” Yes.” Mei Xizhu nodded slowly after a moment of silence.” I think His Highness Kant will understand.”

As a passerby who had turned into a fan of Kang Chui, this Archmage Aurora was extremely familiar with Master Kang’s achievements and experiences.

In the Battle of Valentan, he had displayed his terrifying forbidden spell attacks. In the Battle of Lucerne, he had displayed his overwhelming and high-speed defense capabilities. In the Battle of Lucerne, he had let the world know about the so-called heroic spirit of the so-called overlord of the sky. In the Battle of Faraway Harbor, the divine warships had jumped out, making the giant naval ships of the world pale in comparison.

Sea, land, air, and strategic attacks.

The information and hidden secrets behind this made the young Skyquaking Mage think carefully and feel extremely terrified.

However, what he was most concerned about was the alchemical chariots that had rushed forward with fierce firepower during the battle of Lucerne.

He felt that His Highness Kant would definitely understand his philosophy and viewpoint.

“When the time comes, I…” Mei Xizhu whispered.

At this moment, Elric’s expression suddenly changed. He quickly swallowed the jerky he had chewed a few times and stood up. He raised his staff, and a shadow flashed from it.

“I’ve caught you!” The voice they hated the most sounded from afar.

At the same time, outside the Broken Islands.

” Discovered unidentified fleet!”

The magic signal rose and was detected by the nearest mage tower. The signal was sent to the tactical headquarters. The mage on duty in the mage tower activated the atmospheric perspective mirror to observe the target sea area. The eagle eyes of the islands also quickly scanned the sea area. The island masters received the news immediately. They were on guard and were terrified.

Soon, the identity of the unknown fleet was confirmed.

“Report! Observing the navy flags of the Sunset Moon Dynasty, the Holy Empire, and the Arcane Magic Council! Comparing the target warship’s catalog, we found that the Arcane Magic Council’s Azure Fleet belongs to…”

In the remote conference room of the central island, the island masters quickly went online to confirm and listen to the intelligence together. One of the island masters frowned. Wasn’t this the fleet of the Council that participated in the Battle of Distant Harbor and was captured by Kant? Why did they come here? Could it be that Kant has already…”

The Island Master revealed an indignant expression. Did he want to start a war? This…”

The old man who was the alliance leader waved his hand. If they were acting on Kant’s orders, they should be using the name of the so-called rebels. Why would they hang their own country’s military flag? Send a patrol fleet to negotiate, activate the mage tower array, lock the magic cannons on the coastal fortress, and order them to stop immediately and state their intentions.”

As the order was given, the white sails were raised in the distant sea. The joint fleet of the various countries had already appeared on the horizon. A few warships of the Broken Islands ‘coastal defense fleet turned the helm and set sail, facing them at full speed. The mage tower array buzzed and activated. Elemental Illumination came across the sea, and the powerful defense system of the Broken Islands began to operate!

“Warning!”

The coastal defense fleet of the Broken Islands, the Winds of Winter, followed the ship’s mage to activate the surging sea breeze, sending the captain’s voice far away. This place is in accordance with the international convention and belongs to the Broken Islands. Please stop immediately and state your purpose and identity…”

A moment later, an announcement came from across the sea.

” I am the commander of the expedition fleet under the Royal Navy of the Sunset Moon Dynasty, Brigadier General Kavisaron. Due to the possibility of an extremely intense war of extermination happening in the Broken Islands, in the name of the Phoenix King and the Silver Moon Council, this fleet has come here to pick up the people under the rule of Her Majesty the Queen and keep them away from the shadow of war and the core of destruction…”

“I am the commander of the Canglan Fleet under the Arcane Magic Council…”

“I am the temporary commander of the Holy Empire’s fourth squadron…”

The voice traveled far and wide, causing the soldiers on the Broken Islands to be in an uproar. Almost everyone revealed a look of shock, followed by fear. The Elven Empress, the Human Emperor, the Chairman of the Arcane Magic Council, these high and mighty monarchs had ordered the evacuation of their citizens? Doesn’t this mean…

The ultimatum received was transmitted to the private channel of the island masters.

The noble rulers were all stunned and silent. Then, as if a pot had exploded, the solemn and sacred meeting room turned into a market. Even the old man who had been calm and peaceful suddenly opened his eyes.

“Shameless!”

The middle-aged man who spoke first yesterday jumped up and said sternly,”They want to take away all the tourists and distinguished guests we have appeased!” They want to take away our foundation! They were not allowed to do this! Damn it! How could such a thing happen!”

” They are clearly captives from the Battle of Distant Harbor,” the graceful woman said in a deep voice.” This must be Kant’s trick!” He absolutely could not agree! Otherwise, we will…”

“Then how do we stop these fleets?” The youth with red lips and white teeth had a flash of gloominess and frustration in his eyes.

The middle-aged man said without thinking,”Of course, they are forbidden from taking a step forward! Otherwise, sink them…”

“No!”

Three or four people spoke at the same time. Look carefully, they are not hanging the flag of the court, but the flag of the three navies! This meant that they were now the elite warships of their respective countries ‘navies! They were ordered by their monarch to take away their own citizens. You want to sink them? It’s not enough to provoke Kant. Do you want to provoke the three strongest countries in the world as well?”

In the midst of the argument, the captain of the Cold Winter Wind braced himself and issued a warning. This was the national defense power of every country, forbidding threatening hostile targets from entering the territorial waters. After issuing the warning, if the other party insisted on doing so, then they would reserve all rights to launch an attack, and the other party would bear the consequences.

But… In the world, fairness was a ridiculous joke.

After this warning was issued, the other party burst into a wild laughter.

Under the watchful eyes of the mages, the sailors of the coalition fleet climbed onto the mast and even the bow of the ship, pointing their middle fingers at the enemy. Some even took off their pants and shook their birds and butts, making all kinds of provocative gestures and spewing all kinds of foul language.

The Canglan Fleet’s magical transformation level was extremely high. The Dharma Villains pushed the sound waves with arcane spells, and their clamors were accompanied by rolling thunder. Grandpas, lower the sail and cross the hull for you to hit! If you have the guts, send us to meet the Sea God. If you don’t fight, you’re all f * cking Seadoes!”

As a member of the navy, they were usually arrogant and unreasonable. Once they got ashore, they would fight with the army. But now, they had fallen at Kant’s hands. Not only had they become captives, but they had also been tamed for more than half a month. They had even fought a few battles under the Skyquaking Dragon’s command. For some reason, not only had their morale not been reduced, they had even developed a greater sense of superiority.

Now that he was out on a field trip, he couldn’t help but become even more arrogant than before.

Facing the stern warning from the Broken Islands and the elemental rays from the heavy cannons, they did not hesitate and charged towards the Broken Islands at full speed.

“Make way!”

“By the Empress ‘decree, anyone who stands in our way shall be the enemy of Mu Yue!” they shouted as they advanced.

The navy of the dynasty and the council also shouted in their own language.

Sweat rolled down the captain’s cheeks. He frantically signaled the mages on the ship to ask for orders from his superiors. The island masters did not reply for a long time, but the enemy fleet marched straight in.

However, he did not dare to attack.

Because he knew the consequences of doing so.

While he was hesitating, the captain’s pupils suddenly constricted. The alliance fleet was approaching from afar. He heard a huge roar, like the roar of a sea beast. Looking into the distance, under the protection of the warships of the three countries, several white ships of different sizes were rushing over.

In Silver Pearl Bay on Argent Island, there were cries of surprise and explosions. Two figures passed through the smoke and dust and fled in a sorry state. Behind them, the arcane light was hidden, and the figures chased after them.

“Mei Xizhu! Alec! You two traitors!” ” Arrest!” Cotton said crazily.” Surrender! Otherwise, die!

Where else can you escape to? No one will come to save you!”

The guards at the front of the dock came over with swords in their hands. They attacked from the front and back. Alec and Mei Xizhu stood back to back, looking miserable. Their mana was almost exhausted. In a high-intensity battle, using shields to block the crossbows was extremely exhausting. Now that they were surrounded by strong enemies, they were at the end of their rope.

Or rather, after Eric accidentally exposed his whereabouts and was targeted by others, the current scene was already a foregone conclusion…After all, this was the Broken Islands.

“Alec…”Mei Xizhu whispered.

“Shut up.” The brown-haired mage held his staff and aimed it at the people around him.” What should we do?”

“I can’t drag you down with me.” Mei Xizhu said,” Surrender…”

Cotton looked at the two trapped beasts under the protection of the shield guards, his eyes flashing with cruel pleasure. Then, he remembered his uncle’s exhortation to not kill that Skyquaker…Thinking of this, he was very unhappy.

Resist, continue to resist. It shouldn’t be a problem to break his limbs, right?

I can’t kill him. I have to make him suffer more pain…Eh, wait.

Cotton saw the crowd gathering around him.

Those people who wanted to escape the Broken Islands but were trapped here because they had no money or other means. These people didn’t have money, so the Island Masters didn’t care about them. The prices of goods soared, and food was scarce. All of them were filled with resentment. The crime rate was very high, and fights could break out at any time.

Now…It seemed like a good way to have fun.

“Do you see these two mages?”Cotton suddenly shouted. They were the traitors of the Broken Islands! He was Kant’s lackey! They had been sending information to Kant! The reason why Kant killed the citizens of the Broken Islands and even wanted to start a war to kill all of us was because of their slanderous words!”

“What are you waiting for? It’s all because of them that you’re here, hungry and tired! Now, I’ll give you a chance to vent your anger! Their magic power had already been depleted! Even you can’t defeat him!

Show them your anger! Yes, it was! Punish them!”

When a person was in a state of madness and despair, it was easiest to be incited. This was because there had to be a victim to vent one’s resentment. Wearing the uniform of a law enforcer and leading an army, Cotton undoubtedly had great authority. He would be right when he said who the criminal was, and then he could punish the traitor as much as he wanted.

The crowd was in a commotion for a moment, and their gazes became increasingly unfriendly as they turned to the two Spell Casters who were surrounded in the middle.

Yes, I didn’t do it. It was these rioters who killed the people of Aurora.

It has nothing to do with me.

A cold light flashed in Cotton’s eyes.

Mei Xizhu took a deep breath and touched the dagger on his thigh with his right hand.

“Alec…”

He had already realized Cotton’s vicious trick.

“You motherf * cker…” Eric gritted his teeth.” I’m starting to regret it…”

The rioters on the dock slowly approached. Elric raised his magic staff, and a Shadow Arrow flashed.” Who dares?!” Come, whoever goes up will die!”

The people stopped in their tracks. The magical glow made them instinctively feel fear.

“Throw stones at them!” Cotton shouted from behind.

The group was enlightened and began to search for stones on the ground. However, due to the mysterious power of the mages, they needed the courage of their leader. Cotton picked up a stone from the ground and smiled happily. He gestured to the leader beside him.” Let your people have some fun too. Let’s…”

However, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the captain’s expression.

“What’s that?” the crowd shouted.

Everyone turned to look. The sails in the distant sea were raised, and there were layers of warships sailing towards them. Through the crowd, Mei Xizhu looked out and activated the Eagle Eye spell.

Immediately, he revealed an expression of disbelief and surprise.

“That is…”

Cotton saw it too. He gritted his teeth and said,”Attack!” Capture the two of them! Give it to me…”

In the next moment, Wizard Aurora’s magical power surged. He gathered his exhausted magical power, and a stream of light shone from the staff, rushing into the sky, exploding into a dazzling firework.

“Attack!”Cotton roared.

A loud sound came from afar.

Several black dots rose into the sky and flew through the wind at an extremely fast speed. They quickly flew toward Argus Island. Throw a stone and you’ll get a piece of bread!”

However, in an instant, a low buzzing sound came from the sky, flashing like lightning. Streams of light whizzed over, and the sound of the wind was fierce. The ground exploded with the two Mages as the center, and the Vulcan Machine Gun swept in a circle, drawing a circle of death. The mobs that surrounded them retreated in fear!

The hurricane blew the robes of the two mages. Messi Zhu and Eric looked up and saw a few drones flying over their heads and circling in the sky.

The rotating machine gun on board spun around, the camera kept spinning, and the loudspeaker sounded.

” All yellow-skinned, black-haired, hardworking, and upright people who speak of the sound of the Aurora are citizens of the East. Today, under the orders of His Highness Kant, the Far Harbor has opened its doors to welcome our compatriots from all over the world. Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!”

The drone hovered in the air. The Vulcan machine gun buzzed and spun. The man roared,” Get lost!”

The fleet in the distance had already put down several small boats and was flying toward them at high speed.

Messi Zhu and Eric were still standing side by side. They did not put down their staffs, but they knew that they were safe.

“Do you know why I’m leaving now?” Wizard Aurora gasped.

“I don’t regret it now,” said Alec after a long pause.

The people of Aurora laughed out loud.

The speedboats were already approaching.

Messi Zhu turned his head and looked at the ships. They were like Kant’s ships. They had no sails or oars, and there was a white wave behind them. The water was probably the source of power. There were four or five people sitting on each ship, and there was also a person standing at the bow. The lower half of his body was under the hatch, revealing his upper half. He was holding a strange magic device with both arms. The magic device had a long pipe that was aimed at the shore. It was obviously not for decoration.

As they approached, two ships patrolled around the dock. Another ship was docked by the dock. Someone stood up and waved at them.

The crowd automatically parted.

Everyone was avoiding their gazes.

But that was not important.

Mei Xizhu turned to look at Cotton behind him.

The eyes of his former superior flashed with unwillingness and regret.

“Cotton.” The Skyquaking man raised his hand and drew a line below his neck.” I’ll kill you myself the next time we meet.”

Then, he walked to the dock with Eric.

The person who waved at him had already jumped onto the shore with a smile on his face. Mei Xizhu turned around and looked. The people on the ship should be Goethe people. The person who greeted him had black hair and yellow skin. He was from the same hometown as Aurora.

“Han Guangcheng from the distant port. I’d like to hear your name.” The young man cupped his hands and bowed.

Wizard Aurora was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands in response to the ancient etiquette taught by his father.

Under the sun, between the sea and the sky, the two bowed to each other.

“I’m Mei Sui, my name is Xi Zhu.” He smiled.
