Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 262 - 262 Disney

262 Disney

The elves had excellent vision and saw the clothes of that group of people from afar.

“There’s no need to face a great enemy. There’s no need to draw swords, let alone let hatred and anger flow on your appearance.” 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

“Because the helpless anger of the loser will only increase the joy of the winner.”

“Therefore, hide your anger in your hearts.”

Duke Tiling’s calm words made the young and hot-blooded elves slowly put away their weapons.

The thin royal family member in the cloak looked at the gradually approaching cavalry and smiled, “Look, I’ve said it before. The Cathayan, Kang De, is a wonderful person. He knows that we want our reputation, so he took the initiative to send people to invite and contact us, not to put on airs and be in a deadlock with us because he wants benefits under his face. In that case, let us take what we need.”

As the cavalry approached, Tagris saw it clearly. He nodded repeatedly and praised, “Not bad, it’s low-key and grand. These knights are wearing the same clothes, but they’re not standard armor. They should have taken care of our faces. After all, this is an informal meeting. An overly grand welcome and ceremony will instead make us very embarrassed.”

Elandir looked out beside him, his expression gradually becoming strange.

Tagris did not notice it, “Do you think he’s hiding in this team of riders? The Cathayans like to do such a thing. Eh, they even bring a flag with words written on it. This is also the habit of the Cathayans, right? They’re used to writing the surname of the general on the flag… Eh, there are so many words.”

He looked at it for a moment and a depressed expression appeared on his face. He turned around and said, “Is it to welcome us? Elandir, I don’t know much about the Cathayan language. What does it say?”

Elandir, the wearer of the Dragonheart Grass badge, was known as the most knowledgeable court official in the Eternal Court. He naturally knew the language of Cathay.

However, when he saw the row of words on the flying flag, he fell into deep thought.

This line of words was very similar to the language of Cathay, but he had never seen such words before, but he could roughly tell what they were, although he did not understand what they meant.

He narrowed his eyes and read with difficulty, “D-Disney-Entry-Pat-Patrol-Team…”

Tagris frowned. “What’s that?”

“I don’t know…” The knowledgeable Elven Sage also fell into confusion, “It sounds like some patrol team responsible for guarding the city gate, checking the warrant, and maintaining law and order. However, the word ‘Disney’ is more difficult to understand. Wait, I understand.”

“According to the annotation of the ancient Cathayan book…”

“Disney means ‘to govern and stabilize the place with teaching and guidance’… Your Highness, your judgment is wrong. This Kang De must have a noble background. He’s from a large clan in Cathay that uses knowledge and strength as its inheritance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given it such a name.”

There was uncertainty, even a little admiration, in Elandir’s words.

After all, he was a cultured person.

Tagris shook his head and said, “If he’s from Cathay, why did he run here to be our enemy? Isn’t it better to stay in his hometown and kill the barbarians? The Cathay can definitely give him much more than Goethe. Not to mention anything else, the Empress who was placed on the dragon throne under our influence and instructions is not married, right?”

At this point, he touched his chin. “This seems to be one of the chips.”

The Emperor of Cathay had already died. The resistance forces in the south each elected the Emperor and continued to resist the invasion. They were favored and invested by the Twilight Dynasty. They were used as a political country. If your country was also ruled by an empress and would make Her Majesty gratified and happy, the two countries would be friendly from now on… This was the first step in the Eastern strategy of the Twilight Dynasty.

The second step was naturally to provide limited support to continuously bleed this large country and exhaust their vital strength to stop the barbarians from unifying the east.

The third step was to gradually assimilate and infiltrate the political, economic, cultural, military, and other aspects. Then, he would carry out a long-planned and carefully chosen marriage… and a large amount of follow-up support.

To Cathay, although it violated the ancient system, under the olive branch of the number one country in the world and the danger of its destruction, they could not care less. Even those who knew understood that the elves had ill intentions. This was nothing more than drinking poison to quench their thirst—but with the sinking of China, they could not care less.

From the looks of it…

Tagris thought to himself—perhaps he could slightly adjust the Eastern strategy.

At that moment, he heard Elandir laugh.

Duke Tiling looked up and stabbed the other party with a sword-like gaze. “What are you laughing at?”

The intelligent minister bowed with a smile on his lips, “I’m sorry. You mentioned the Empress of Cathay, so I thought of our Empress.”

Tagris narrowed his eyes and snorted. “What do you mean? She won’t get married.”

Elandir was about to say something when he stopped himself.

Tagris said, “Let’s not talk about this. Kang De’s envoy has arrived. We’re facing a knowledgeable and cultured civilized person. If he welcomes us with such etiquette, we’ll also…”

Before he could finish speaking, a roar suddenly erupted in the distance. The voice was short and powerful as it whistled over.

“Pay! Money! For! Loot!”

Tagris looked confused. “What are they talking about?”

Elandir revealed an extremely strange expression. Before he could answer, he saw that the cavalry under the flag of the “Disney Entry Patrol Team” had already rushed over and rushed straight into the ruins of the battlefield.

The expressions of the elves changed.

This was because this human cavalry did not stop or dodge at all. The flying hooves trampled everything on the ground without any hesitation—bones, flags, and fragments.

The expressions of the elf attendants changed because the other party’s actions were undoubtedly insulting the dead.

As for Tagris and the others, they realized that… the person was not friendly.

Seeing that this group of riders did not slow down and rushed over, Elandir gestured. The Elven attendants whistled softly, and then their mounts replied.

Shrieks and neighs. The horned eagle flapped its wings, and the pegasus stomped its hooves. The wind howled, and rocks flew. High-level spirit beasts had extremely strong pressure and an advantage in terms of bloodlines. They were definitely not something human horses could compare to. The horses of the human cavalry neighed in panic and slowed down on their own, unwilling to go forward.

The elves revealed disdainful expressions and chuckled.

At the order of the cavalry leader, the riders dismounted one after another. They were only wearing ordinary standard military uniforms and not armor. Facing the terrifying horned eagle and pegasus and the elf experts in full magic outfits, they were not afraid at all. Their eyes were cold and even revealed bone-chilling hostility and hatred.

“Elves!”

The cavalry leader pressed his sword and stepped forward, saying sternly, “Why are you here?!”

Elandir took a step forward. His gaze was calm, not anxious or angry, but the huge pressure made the human’s breathing pause. He said, “Is there no noble left in Valentine? Is there no one who knows etiquette?”

“That’s right!” The cavalry leader was a Goethe person. When he heard this, he said sternly, “All the nobles of Valentine have already died in the city defense battle. Everyone who knows etiquette has already picked up their swords and perished with the invaders, practicing the etiquette they’ve adhered to all their lives. Now, only us barbarians are left!”

Therefore, all the mockery prepared after that was useless.

The elves’ sense of superiority towards humans naturally stemmed from their so-called nobility and etiquette. However, when humans considered themselves barbarians, this weapon and ammunition completely lost their effect.

Moreover, he saw the hatred and hostility in the other party’s eyes.

He felt a trace of sorrow.

There were countless people in the world who had unforgettable hostility toward the Twilight Dynasty. They were all losers who had their country destroyed and their race destroyed. Elandir had seen many such people and living beings, and he had seen many hateful gazes and crazy curses.

However, this was the first time.

For the first time… the elves did not win, and the other party did not lose. On the other hand, they were evenly matched or even slightly inferior to the other party in terms of hatred and anger.

He did not even know how to respond to the other party’s provocation and words.

Tagris reached out to stop him, then took a step forward and said calmly, “My name is Tagris, Grand Duke of the Tiling Sanctuary. My sister is the Empress of the Twilight Dynasty and its vassals and territories, the ruler of all the elves, the protector of the Great Forest, the great Phoenix King.”

“Human warriors, our country is fighting. You might be filled with hatred for the elves, but the theme of war is bravery and will. The theme of diplomacy is wisdom and poise. As the diplomatic envoy, you should show me Goethe’s wisdom and poise, not rudeness and bravery.”

“Demonstration and hostility won’t help resolve the problem, and I’m here to resolve it.”

He said politely, “I want to visit His Highness Kang De. Can you help me?”

The elf’s voice was reserved and magnetic. His body, which was far thinner than the males of his clansmen because of physical factors, looked elegant and elegant in the eyes of humans. With a decent smile, Tagris spoke in a spring-like tone in the face of the rudeness and hostility of humans.

—Ah, not bad.

He was smugly intoxicated in his mind.

It could simply be recorded in the classic language of diplomacy. It was not inferior to any eloquent diplomat. He was really a genius. If he wanted to do it, he could do it.

He smiled at the other party, waiting to see his embarrassed expression and hear the thunderous applause of his companions—although the latter was a little difficult.

At this moment, the human opposite him said, “I don’t understand what you’re saying. It’s not my mission to inform Prince Kang De. My mission is to collect money.”

Hmm?

Tagris repeated in a daze, “Collect money?”

“Yes, this battlefield, including everything here, is Prince Kang De’s spoils of war and everything. He said that this is private territory and can’t be freely visited. You have to pay the entrance fee. If you barge in without informing him, it’s a violation and you have to be fined. Did your pet eat and drink inside? Did you throw trash inside? Did you casually take away anything that doesn’t belong to you?”

The cavalry leader had already restrained his anger and said seriously—from his relatively awkward voice, he knew that someone must have taught him to say this.

“…”

Tagris was stunned.

At first, he did not even react to what the other party was saying.

However, when he returned to his senses, he felt huge shock, confusion, and confusion.

For a moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

That Kang De… might as well let him die.
