Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 591: 591
Able to Sing and Dance

20 minutes before the Flame Son Light Spear Array was attacked by the rocket.

Far Harbor, Tidal Manor.

” People say that the battlefield is the best instructor.”

On the lawn in the back garden, fifty young men stood in five rows.

” From a new recruit to a veteran, it may take a few years of hard training, or it may only take a baptism of war.”

They held their breaths and focused, their eyes fixed on the same target. They listened attentively.

“I don’t know how much Hong San has taught you during this period of time…”

The person who spoke was the monarch they swore allegiance to, the leader they respected and were grateful to.

” But I know that all of you are qualified warriors.”

The war on the Broken Islands was urgent. This was the reason why Kant had appeared here. The fifty people in front of him had been carefully selected by Hong San. They were loyal, tenacious, calm, and focused.

The Battle of Valentan had taught them everything.

” You’ve learned discipline, obedience, calmness, and more advanced tactics and weapons. Your fingers have adapted to the trigger, and you’ve practiced using more efficient killing weapons. You’ve fired countless bullets, and they’ve fed your skills. Even by my standards, you’re already elite soldiers.”

A qualified soldier on Earth needed a sense of teamwork and discipline. They also needed to have tactical awareness and obedience. They also needed to be familiar with a variety of weapons. Their combat skills had to be excellent. The first few aspects only needed years of training and guidance. The latter was easy to learn but difficult to master. It was more dependent on talent.

However, the people from the other world did not lack talent.

Whether it was physical fitness, strength, or perception, they all had an innate advantage over Earthlings.

Every Valentan puffed out their chests and proudly accepted the recognition.

Kant was giving them his final war mobilization.

He believed that the time he had spent was still worth it.

The Fire Stealer stopped in his tracks and looked into everyone’s eyes.” Now, I need a group of warriors to follow me to support our comrades who are in danger and to attack our enemies. Your eyes tell me that you are already prepared, but I have to tell you that this plan is bold and radical. It is not fully prepared because other than guns, you will also use an unprecedented new equipment and experience a wonderful experience that you have never experienced before… I can’t guarantee that it’s absolutely safe.”

“It sounds like, Your Highness.” The person at the front said,” It seems to be an honor.”

Kant walked up to him and stared at his face.

Ulysses.”

He knew this person.

The man’s face was calm and steady. He was once a messenger from Valentan. He was the one who handed Nick’s will to Kant, and he was the one who decided to tell Valentan’s last story to the whole world.

However, as the Forbidden Spell Sword descended from the sky, Valentan’s story had spread to the world. His mission had come to an end before it even began, and loyalty was the only answer.

“I’ll fight for you, Your Highness,” he said calmly.

Kant patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the side.

Everyone followed his arm and looked over. In fact, they had already noticed what was there. It should be armor, but they had never seen such armor.

It was huge, heavy, and like a giant. The armor was made of thick steel, and the joints were cold and simple. Even the bravest Silver Moon Holy Guards and Imperial Army would not be equipped with such armor, because it would obviously affect the wearer’s flexibility and mobility. However, in fact, the attention of these Valentan youths had been continuously attracted since they arrived.

Because they were too… Magnificent.

It was as if it contained something that they could not describe but could actually sense…Will.

” From today onwards, it will be your new armor, your strength, and your glory. This is only the beginning. The initial version will be constantly modified and reformed based on your experience in using it, so that it can display greater combat power and effectiveness…”

” The armor is equipped with a simple intelligent module. After entering the battlefield, Horus will connect to all of you and pay close attention to your physical and mental conditions. My requirements for you are the same as before. Obedience and discipline, and we will fight side by side.”

” Now, pick up the core of the paradox on the table.”

On the table between the fifty warframes and the fifty warriors, there were fifty glittering purple devices. They walked over in an orderly manner and each took one.

“Go find your armor. Your names are written on it.”

Ulysses soon found his own. He couldn’t help but caress the solid and cold armor, from the majestic helmet to the solid breastplate. He saw a line of Chinese characters painted in red on it.

This messenger, who was actually very knowledgeable, used the Aurora language that he had learned by himself during this period of time to read these two sentences. It should be a poem.” Those who know war are lethal weapons. The saints have no choice but to use them.”

There was a rudder-like disc at the back of the armor, with a socket in the middle.

It happened to be the same as the ‘Paragon Core’ in his hand.

” Now, implant the Paragon Core.”

They followed Kant’s instructions and demonstration.

” Activate the power armor.”

He twisted the rudder-like valve.

With a clang, the heavy armor opened from the back like a flower blooming. From the legs to the head, the internal structure was displayed in front of the warriors. The sound of gasps kept ringing, and Ulysses ‘heart was beating fast. He suddenly had an indescribable excitement and impulse.

Such a creation.

It was the best armor, dress, and…Grave.

Kant took a deep breath.

Ulysses stretched out his left foot and stepped on the left foot part of the battle suit. He felt a delicate fixing device pop out from the inside and stabilize his shoe. He stepped in with his other foot, then his entire body. He stretched out his arms to make them fit into the armor. His hands were inserted into the appropriate position, and then his head.

A steady and calm voice sounded in his ears. It was clearly from Lord Horus.

” First login detected. Identity verification in progress. Face Recognition complete. Soldier Ulysses, welcome to the Buren Armor. The show is about to begin…” Now, the connection begins.”

Ulysses then heard the mechanical sound of the armor parts. He could feel the powerful armor slowly closing up. The sea breeze outside was isolated, and a warm and heavy comfort enveloped his body. He could feel every part of his body ready, back, legs, hands, and finally…Head.

“Endure.”

He heard Lord Horus’s exhortation.

Then, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, as if a sharp blade had cut through his fragile flesh. Then, something thin and cool was embedded in his body, accurately sticking to his bone marrow. Then, the world seemed to be different. No, he was different.

His flesh was extending.

He felt that something had taken root in his body and then grown, just like a seed sprouting and sprouting its branches. The power armor was a plant that had broken out of the ground and grown healthily. At this moment, Ulysses felt that some kind of wonderful connection had taken place, from the implant in his neck to the core of the contradiction that had just been placed in the back of the armor, and then the entire thick armor!

He suddenly raised his head and stretched out his hands. The incomparably heavy armor seemed to be his flesh and blood. This action was not difficult at all. Through the windshield of the helmet, his vision was extremely wide. He looked at his hands. The thick armor and cold knuckles were emitting a cold light inch by inch.

“Connection complete.”

Ulysses looked around. His companions looked around in shock and looked at each other. They were wearing the same power armor, the same attire, the same honor, and the same… Excitement.

He only felt an unprecedented power filling his body. The Paragon Core contained endless vast energy, waiting for him to use and vent. At this moment, he remembered the large caliber machine gun on the car, and an amazing thought flashed through his mind. Now, he could fire with the heavy machine gun.

No, there might be more…

” From today onwards, your serial number is ‘Doom’.”

” The Warrior of Destruction!” His Highness Kant’s voice rang in his ears.

“The first battle group under my command.”

Ten minutes later, in the direction of the central main island of the Broken Islands, on the bridge of the Afu.

” Arriving at the landing position in five minutes!”

The Astolford had already received the crew of the remaining two warships. After gathering, the already crowded warships quickly advanced towards the core island of the Broken Islands.

The bridge became a conference room, and the officers of the three warships were arguing.

The sea monsters continued to pursue them from behind, and the enemy troops were on standby in front of them. Although landing was the only choice, it was also a big problem. The problem came from the military strength.

After all, they were the navy. They had come to the Broken Islands to evacuate their citizens and pick up their people. They were not prepared to fight on land. The crew on the ship was not full, and they lacked heavy armored troops.

” The enemy will definitely launch an attack when we land. They’ll rely on the tactical magical formation and the long-range mages on the island to suppress and attack. Then, the cavalry and infantry will jointly clear the area…”

The elf captain of the Evergreen Song said,” Our warship isn’t here, but the long-range attack of the Afu is enough to make up for all this. However, the biggest problem is still the advancement front. We have to at least build a defensive position here to resist the sea monsters chasing from the sea. They can obviously go ashore…”

The captain drew a few beautiful lines of advancement with his pen.” This means that we may encounter resistance along the way. Everyone knows that Old Micketer has built his island into a giant fortress. There are permanent fortifications and secret passages everywhere. Moreover, the three fortress magic devices are still operational…”

Although the mage tower’s refraction array had been destroyed, and the Raging Tide Magic Device would be useless once they got ashore, it was still a heavy Magic Device that posed a great threat. If they thought of a way to continue using it, it would be a big problem.” There are still catapults. They are still a great threat…”

Every officer had a heavy expression. Although they were from the navy, they still understood the most basic tactics of the land army. Compared to the well-equipped defenders of the island, who waited for fatigue at ease and had the advantage in numbers, the navy had not only consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle, but they were also in a hurry to evacuate, so they did not bring many equipment.

If they wanted to rush all the way to the target location to establish a defense line…Obviously, he had to pay a huge price.

” Gentlemen, don’t expect anything else. We’ve already survived that damned situation and weren’t eaten by those monsters. That’s already a good enough result. Now that we have the long-range support of the Afu, what else do we expect?”

The elven captain pounded the table. The arrows of the assault formation will be taken care of by the Blue Edge Great Swordsmen, and the mages of the council will provide long-range support. I hope that His Highness Kant can bring back enough equipment for us. The rest will be left to the gods to decide…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a commotion coming from outside.

” His Highness Kant has returned,” the chief officer reported.” All crew members outside the ship are now ordered to return to the cabin and await orders.”

The officers immediately looked excited.

Kant’s voice echoed from the bridge.” All personnel, prepare to disembark. Officers at all levels, take stock of your manpower. Pay attention to the injured and exhausted. Give priority to taking care of them…”

The Realm Gate opened. Kant teleported back to the bridge. He glanced at the officers present and said concisely,” Get ready, everyone. We’re about to land.”

” Yes, Your Highness,” the elven captain asked.” What’s the plan?”

Kant was stunned for a moment.” Oh,” he said.” Run faster. Don’t let the sea monsters bite your butt.”

The officers were stunned.

Kant leisurely walked to the operating table and looked at the beach that was getting closer and closer.

Smoke filled the air somewhere on the island. It was obvious that there was a cavalry unit moving quickly. Looking over with the Phoenix Eyes, the entire place was shining with the radiance of magic power. It was an impregnable defense system.

“Horus, are you done?” he asked.

” Father, confirming the coordinates.”

“As soon as possible.”

” Wait a minute, Your Highness.” The elf captain shivered and stammered,” What’s the specific battle plan?” I’m talking about the battle plan for our landing, such as the choice of the vanguard, the rear troops, the speed at which the mixed mage group should advance, whether we should build temporary positions, and…”

Kant glanced at him and smiled.” I told you to run faster. Don’t let the sea monsters catch up to you. You won’t be needed for the landing battle later. After all, you’ve been fighting those monsters for a long time at sea. You’re tired, you don’t have enough equipment, and the space on the ship is limited. There’s no way to replenish your supplies now. So, just run.”

What?

You don’t need us?

” Are you done?” Kant asked before he could react.

” We’ve locked onto the area where the Flame Son Light Spear Array and the catapults are located.”

“Let’s give them a vicious wave first!”

“Understood!” Horus shouted,” Prepare to fire rockets! Razor Squadron, get ready!”

“Fire!”

Flames flashed and smoke surged. A sharp whistling sound cut through the sky like an organ. Rockets shot into the sky with long tails of flames!

“What’s that!”

The regimental commander of the West Camp’s Defense Legion, Socote, had already led his troops to the vicinity of Long Beach. With the help of the favorable terrain and the cover of the houses, he had set up a crossbow formation and was ready for battle. From here, he could already see the situation on the beach. A silver-white warship was breaking through the waves, not caring about being stranded at all!

Smoke columns rose from the ship, leaving a beautiful parabola in the air as they flew toward the mountains far away from the island!

“There…” “It’s the Flame Son Light Spear Array!”

He looked into the distance in shock. Fireballs rose from the mountains, smoke spread, and violent explosions could be heard from afar. Kant’s warship was releasing brutal and terrifying power without any restraint. This made the commander, who was known for his bravery, feel fear. What would happen if such an attack landed on his own army?

“My lord!” The mage following the army reported,” The enemy’s warship has released a large number of fast-flying objects!”

“I’ve already seen it!”said Sauket impatiently.

“No…” The mage said,” It’s different from these!”

“How is it different?”

“They can fly by themselves! Over there!”

On the bridge of the Afu, Horus reported one after another.

” Razor Swarm has been released. Our dragons have taken off with the observation and guidance system. Heavy artillery is ready. The mortar array has been connected to the fire control system…”

In the middle of the warship, three beehive launchers buzzed, and small black drones were pushed out one after another. They spread their wings in the air and flew into the sky in groups.

Such a fast, efficient, and dense drone array might not even be available in China, which was the most proficient in this field. This was a high-end weapon that was produced by combining the advantages of the Paragon Element, Horus ‘body control, and the otherworld’s alchemy. It was limited in number and was best at attacking and ambushing.

“Target discovered…Attack!”

On land, Saucot heard a buzzing sound coming from the sky. He noticed that in the clear sky, small black dots were rapidly approaching, like birds in the sky, but they weren’t!

“Be careful!”

He heard the military mage’s shout. He saw the atmospheric shield suddenly open, and at the same time, the black dot circling in the sky fell rapidly like a bird with broken wings!

A loud bang!

Intense flames rose up, and a wave of air exploded. It hit a team of ambushing crossbowmen. Blood rushed into the sky, and broken limbs scattered everywhere. Screams and explosions mixed together. The heat wave that surged over made Socote’s mouth wide open. However, just as the picture of despair unfolded, more aircraft rushed over from the sky!

” Target spotted. Father, request for direct fire.”

“Fire!”

The Astolford’s artillery fire roared!

The bullets shot through the air, causing sparks to cover the surroundings. Soil and blood splattered everywhere. The cannons installed on the Horizon frigate turned to fire. Tracer bullets streaked across the sky, leaving behind brilliant trajectories and blooming flowers of death. Flames soared up from the shore. In the bridge, Kant’s figure had quietly disappeared.

“Magic Device! Magic Conductor Array, cover us!” ” Cavalry!” Sokett’s face was covered in dust as he fled in a sorry state. Where are our cavalrymen? Tell them to hurry up…”

Cavalry…

On another battlefield, Kant stood tall and pointed at the approaching cavalrymen.” Come, let them learn how to sing and dance.”

Behind him, the fifty Steel Brothers crossed the dark portal and returned to the other world. Facing the charging cavalry formation, they separated sparsely, and the rotating machine guns in their hands began to hum.
