Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

422 Are You a Veteran?

His subordinates from Valentine were temporarily arranged to stay in Maple Leaf Castle.

After vacating two of the guards’ collective barracks, it could accommodate them. The green-skinned were relatively troublesome. After all, they were too large and were relatively lively… However, they could only be resolved by finding an empty space and setting up some tents.

In order to make it convenient to manage, they were arranged centrally. However, Hong San and the others with higher statuses could enjoy separate residences. Hong San was like this, so he and Kang De could have a secret meeting in a separate room. The Cassandra siblings were the same, so the gorilla could pull her to whisper.

Alexios was a younger brother, so he was chased outside to guard. He listened to his sister and the Queen check inside. While Kang De and Hong San were discussing, the gorilla was not idle either. At this moment, Horus was injured and the gorilla had lost its love mentor. It could only ask its subordinates for advice.

In the room, she sat upright and looked at the confused Cassandra opposite her. She said seriously, “I have something to ask you.”

Her expression was unprecedentedly serious… at least, it was something Cassandra had never seen.

The Eagle Tamer’s eyes moved, and her breathing became rapid.

This heroic and fearless female warrior was straightforward and impulsive. She was used to using violence to resolve problems and thought about things directly. She was very compatible with the gorilla, so she was quite trusted by it.

However, this loyal follower was selfish.

She was a Belloran and an exile whose country had been destroyed by the elves. She could not forget it and yearned to recover her home country.

All these years, the Belloran had been exiled to the continent and continuously connected. They had accumulated strength and were waiting for the country to be restored. Because of this, Cassandra and the others became mercenaries. Moreover, they happened to encounter a gorilla with a mysterious background, extremely powerful, and not too smart, so they took the initiative to join them.

She wanted to obtain the other party’s trust and try her best to fight for the gorilla to become Belloran’s strength.

It was indeed selfishness, but how could there be unconditional loyalty in this world? Some were doing it for money, some for power, and she was doing it to restore her country. Moreover, she did not use any tricks or schemes or do anything immoral. She served the commander with all her might and thought that she had a clear conscience.

However, later on, things developed too quickly. When she realized that the “Kang De” the gorilla was looking for was Princess Tina’s fiancé, she was still considering whether to persuade him to join.

After all, after interacting with him for a period of time, she realized that Kang De was extremely important to the commander. In other words, if she could rope him in, she could obtain the powerful combat strength of the Crimson Queen. Even if Kang De was only a weak mortal, it was meaningful to rope him in.

However, in the battle of Valentine, she rode the giant eagle as a long-range strategic bomber to carry Kang De for a forbidden spell. She personally saw the sword in the sky whistling down and the five Dragon Flag Legions disappear into the rolling earth waves. Only then did she realize that tigers and wolves would not travel with sheep. Kang De was the true monster.

As Cassandra reported to the consul, she considered how to hug his thigh and call him daddy.

However, things had really developed too quickly. On this side, the Belloran were still reservedly discussing the situation and possibilities of the alliance. Kang De had already killed his way to Red Maple City like a wolf. In a day, he pressed the face of the Elven Expeditionary Force and even the entire Twilight Dynasty to the ground and rubbed it a few times, shocking the continent.

The Belloran woke up from a dream. Cassandra was late and hesitantly conveyed this thought to Hong San. She also wanted to ask the Crimson Queen to blow on her pillow. Now, the commander was sitting opposite her.

Her expression was serious and her gaze was cold, causing her to feel a trace of uneasiness and hesitation.

It even made her feel a certain degree of panic.

She was afraid.

It was not because she was afraid of the other party’s anger, but because she was afraid of losing a friendship.

In the end, she still had some goals before joining the gorilla.

Looking at the gorilla’s bright and clear eyes, she could not help but feel guilty.

How could she explain? No, there should be no way to explain, right? The commander trusts me, but I have selfish motives…

Guilt gnawed at the female warrior’s heart.

At this moment, the gorilla opposite her slowly asked, “Are you…”

Cassandra closed her eyes, not daring to look at the face of the person opposite her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Yes, as you think, that’s indeed the case. I’m willing to explain for this…”

“There’s no need to explain!”

These firm words struck Cassandra’s heart.

The commander sitting opposite him said, “You’re very powerful!”

The mockery was ironic. Cassandra lowered her head in shame, her face burning.

The gorilla continued, “Why close your eyes? I think this is very impressive.”

Cassandra could not help but say, “Lord, please don’t say that. I’m very ashamed and uneasy. If there’s anything I can do for you, or rather, anything I can make up for…”

“I really think so. As long as you’re happy. That’s your own business. You don’t have to be ashamed.”

These words were very serious as if they were sincere.

The female warrior was touched and ashamed.

“It’s just that I’m different from you. I only like Kang De.”

—I’m more loyal to my motherland. I’m sorry, Lord…

“However, I indeed have something on and want to ask you for help…”

Cassandra immediately opened her eyes with a firm expression and said firmly, “I swear to the gods, Lord, as long as it’s something that doesn’t harm Bellora’s interests, Cassandra will definitely complete it for you with all her might. I won’t work hard and die without any complaints… Please speak!”

Then, she saw that the commander’s expression had become a little shy.

This was the appearance of the commander she had never seen in the past few months.

Her face was a little red, and her eyes blinked very quickly. She was hesitating, shy, and uneasy. She did not know how to speak or explain. In short, it was very difficult.

“I just want to ask… that… it’s very difficult to explain…”

The gorilla’s language expression ability was a little lacking to begin with. After all, she had not transformed for long and gradually felt that it was relatively difficult to say, let alone say it in front of her familiar subordinates.

“For example, I’m asking for a friend…”

She stammered and danced. Looking at Cassandra’s increasingly confused gaze, in the end, impatience suppressed her shyness. She slapped the table forcefully and pointed at the Belloran Beauty opposite her.

The intuition of a beast could always find the best solution.

She shouted, “Let’s put it this way! If I want you to seduce Kang De, what will you do?!”

Click.

Lightning flashed and thunder danced. These words were like the roar of the Thunder God, exploding in Cassandra’s heart.

It exploded and was confused.

...

She blinked. She was more confused than shy and shocked.

Would His Highness Kang De like a dark-skinned, strong, rough, and irritable woman like him?

Moreover, why did the topic change to this?!

—Why did the commander let me do such a thing? Is he punishing me? No, it’s clearly a reward… Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. What a shameless thought, but why?

Could it be that…

Some palace secrets she had heard flashed through her mind.

—Is the commander going to fight for favor? Princess Tina is a powerful enemy, so you want me to be your helper… No, no, no. How can a woman like me help?

However, she had just sworn…

Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Cassandra saw the commander’s body lean over. Her eyes were cold and very oppressive. Her heart skipped a beat and she became even more uneasy.

The gorilla frowned and said, “Tell me.”

Say what… oh, how to seduce Prince Kang De?

...

—Why do I have to say this? Ah, I understand. Her Highness is testing me, testing that I can complete this mission. She might even have to guide me on how to seduce him… Should I spout nonsense and make myself look rough, stupid, and useless, disappointing the commander and giving up? No, no, no. Cassandra, who has sworn, using and deceiving the commander is already not something she should do. How can she lie after swearing?

However, she did not know what to say at all…

Cassandra was uneasy and flustered under the Crimson Queen’s gaze, but she adhered to the honor of a warrior after all. Since she had already taken an oath, she had to go all out.

She gritted her teeth and mobilized her brain, which had been squeezed by too many muscles. Using her extremely poor thinking method, she gave a Cassandra-like courtship train of thought.

—I’m sorry, Commander. After all, I’m an unromantic and rough woman. I don’t understand these at all. I can only talk nonsense about my thoughts and methods in my way of doing things…

She imagined that scene in her mind. If I take a fancy to a man one day, how should I woo him? A trace of red appeared on the female warrior’s wheat-colored sculpture-like heroic face.

She told him about her wild thoughts in embarrassment, “First, firstly, I probably have to ask Prince Kang De out. It’s best to bring a bottle of wine. Drink some first to strengthen my courage…”

The Crimson Queen opposite him nodded. “Yes, yes, continue!”

—Is, is it actually the right train of thought?!

The Belloran was shocked. No matter what, the commander’s affirmation had given her courage.

She continued, “With my… my personality, lord, look, my skin is relatively dark. As a warrior who trains, my body is not soft, and my legs are a little thick. Moreover, I’m not like a lady, so I can’t do things like a lady. I, in any case, I’m a rough woman. If, if you let me do that, I can only use a relatively rough method…”

The gorilla’s eyes lit up even more. She nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Yes, yes, yes!”

—Was… was she right again?!

Could it be that Prince Kang De liked this?! It was really difficult to say the taste of a big shot!

Cassandra felt embarrassed and a little excited. It was the approved satisfaction of saying, “So someone wants me too.” This gave her more courage.

She continued under the gorilla’s gaze.

“In short, I’m such a woman. I’ll never be able to lie weakly in a man’s arms like a lady. I’ll use my own method to woo. In our Belloran, the way to woo is to give an apple. If he accepts, he’ll agree. If he rejects, he’ll reject.”

“I feel that this is meaningless. I’ll hold a bottle of wine. I, I’ll say that the moon is very beautiful tonight. I’ll say that I, I really want to look at this moonlight with him many times. Then, I’ll directly drink half of that bottle of wine and hand it to him. I’ll say that if you’re thinking the same as me, you’ll drink this half bottle of wine…”

At this point, Cassandra glanced at the gorilla. Stars flickered in its eyes.

The female warrior lowered her voice and whispered, “If he drinks it, I… I’ll directly kiss him.”

This was probably the most romantic way the female warrior could think of with her remaining girlish feelings.

She had once felt that she did not have anything like girlish feelings, but she still had them. She had also thought about marriage. Perhaps she would only be a warrior in this life. In ten years, she might adopt a few orphans. Perhaps she would follow the consul’s wishes and marry someone who was beneficial to the revival of her country. Girlish feelings were the most useless.

However, today, she made an oath and said that she wanted to complete everything the commander asked.

As apology and compensation.

The third path.

If it was Prince Kang De…

Although it was not love, he did not suffer a loss. At least he was not bad-looking. It was better than marrying a fat, stupid, and greedy guy according to the consul’s wishes.

Therefore, if it was the commander’s intention…

Her hands were raised.

Cassandra looked at the gorilla’s face in confusion and shyness.

“That’s too good! I learned it! So it can be like this!”

Hmm?

“As expected of you! You’re indeed a very experienced veteran! You have to teach me more in the future!”

…Hmm?

Immediately after, her shoulder was patted forcefully. The captain’s warm smile carried a trace of defense, “Let me make it clear first! It’s fine if you mess around in the mercenary group. You can take a fancy to any man. This is your own business, as long as you feel good. However, there’s one thing. Don’t, don’t really seduce Kang De!”

…Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm???

What did she mean by very experienced?! What did she mean by fooling around?! What did she mean by feeling good?!

It was not until this moment that Cassandra suddenly realized that perhaps what the two of them had said earlier did not mean the same thing at all. However, she was first guilty and shy and did not realize it at all.

However, the gorilla had already left the table and jumped up. “Thank you! I’ll try now!”

With that, she pushed open the door and left.

Cassandra was still in a huge state of shock. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and opened her mouth.

Alexios’s face poked out from behind the door. He said in surprise, “Cassandra?”

His sister was as frozen as a marble statue in the temple.

It was a long time before he spoke.

“I say…”

“Yes?”

“Should we immediately escape Red Maple City?”

“…Ah?”

As for Kang De, after bidding farewell to Horus, he returned to his room early.

His room was also Tina’s room.

In the warm room, the gentle lights shone on the beauty’s happy and angry face, refracting an alluring luster. At this moment, he only wanted to sing loudly.

“The Gorilla is Not At Home Tonight”.

However, the old woman was here.

On the sofa not far away, Sword Saint Snowfall crossed her legs and leaned against the back of the sofa, looking at the two of them with a proud expression. How was this Sword Saint Snowfall? She was simply the Incandescent Sword Saint.

Hmm, old woman.

Before Tina, Hillmelia was a comrade, the aunt of her fiancée, a reliable battlefield reaper, a comrade who fought side by side, and an upright and cold frost blade.

Now, it was the old woman.

This was not surprising. Just like Huang Rong, when she was first in the Condor series, she was a cute girl called Rong’er. When in the later series, she became an inexplicable middle-aged woman.

This way, as the era changed and the plot developed, the stereotype would only be completely changed when Lu Wende, Prime Minister Jia, and even Lu Youjiao appeared.

“Don’t look at me. I’m under the orders of the Grand Duke to protect Tedrell’s dignity.”

Hillmelia said proudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kang De felt a layer of golden light flash in front of him. Tina spun around like a whirlwind and pressed against his chest. She raised her head to his cheek and kissed him gently. The soft-touch swept past like an electric current.

Then, Tina turned around and looked at her aunt. She smiled lightly and her smile was very pure.

“…Hey!”

“Alright, there’s something I have to ask Goethe for help with.”

Kang De gently hugged Tina’s waist and held her tightly. It felt very satisfying.

Tina’s smile was beautiful and gentle. She also looked at Kang De and nodded. “Yes, I also have something very important and precious to give you. Father has relented…”

—Hmm?

The girl looked shy and wanted to say something, but she did not. “Then, we can be closer together. You have me in you, and I have you in me. Even the gods can’t separate us…”
