295 Shocking News, Intense Anger
Their expressions changed at the same time.
The information contradicted.
Sword Saint Snowfall thought that Kang De was going to Red Maple City.
Kang De thought that Tina was coming to Valentine.
The former got along with Tina day and night and heard her say this plan personally, while the latter received the letter.
Then…
“Is there a problem with the letter?”
The two of them spoke in unison. Kang De immediately took out the letter he had brought with him and shook it open. Hillmelia snatched it and read it. It was written in the Cathayan language.
“But it’s indeed Tina’s handwriting… She’s been practicing your words these past few days.” She injected her battle aura, and the remaining blue light appeared on the letter. Previously, she had sealed this letter with her battle aura to encrypt it. Clearly, it was the original letter and had not been changed.
Sword Saint Snowfall muttered, “Are you seeing things?”
Kang De turned around and said, “Hong San!”
Hong San, who had already quietly entered to listen, immediately said, “Your Highness!”
Ignoring the love letter, Kang De handed it over and pointed at the paragraph behind. “Look, what’s it say? Did Tina say she wanted to come to Valentine?”
Hong San confirmed it a few times, “That’s indeed the meaning. The princess said to let you wait in Valentine…”
Kang De’s expression had already darkened, “But she’s already in the Red Maple City and even sent the Sword Saint to pick me up… Moreover, she didn’t change her mind halfway.”
Hong San’s expression changed slightly.
He hurriedly lowered his head and thought for a moment. He pondered for a moment and asked, “The letter was not swapped?”
Kang De’s face darkened. “I’m afraid not…”
Sword Saint Snowfall frowned and an uneasy expression appeared on her face. “If I wasn’t swapped, why did the content of Tina’s letter to you conflict with her words to me?”
Kang De looked at her and said nothing, but his expression was also very uneasy.
Hong San took a deep breath.
“I’m afraid…” He said with difficulty, “It’s meaningless to be conflicted about whether the letter was swapped. The content of the letter is contrary to the words and actions. Of course, it’s true according to what I said myself, so there are two possibilities. Firstly, the letter was secretly swapped and the content changed. Secondly… Princess Tina lied to you.”
Kang De clenched his fists silently.
Sword Saint Snowfall suddenly stood up. “Lie? Why?”
Hong San said in a low voice, “If the enemy tampered with the letter, the goal is very simple. It’s to let His Highness stay in Valentine… Why? Of course, the enemy has to do something and doesn’t want His Highness to disturb them. His greatest deterrence is that he can interfere with or even defeat any army…”
Sword Saint Snowfall’s expression changed drastically as she said sternly, “The letter is real! Tina wrote it indeed!”
Hong San looked at the letter in his hand again and silently handed it back to Kang De.
Kang De looked at the page after Tina instructed him to stay in Valentine.
“Be careful. The war is not over.”
“I hope it ends soon.”
“It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t end, but I hope your war can end here.”
“This world is crazy, evil, and without light, so I hope you can always be pure, gentle, and spotless, just like the first time I saw you.”
His hand trembled slightly.
“Kang De, I dreamed again last night. I dreamed that you were smiling.”
The mottled tears on the letter had dried.
That letter was nostalgia, confiding, deep thought, and blessing. However, from the looks of it, every word seemed to contain a deeper meaning, attachment, and reluctance.
It was not like that.
It should not be like this.
How could such a thing happen…
“This is all nonsense!” Kang De shouted, “The war is about to end! Aren’t the elves afraid of death?! Why do they still dare to fight? Don’t they want the capital anymore?! Don’t they want the army?!”
Hong San ignored Kang De and turned to Hillmelia, “Lord Sword Saint! Let me ask you, did Princess Tina do anything strange or receive any information before she left for Red Maple City?”
Sword Saint Snowfall’s eyes were also shaken and shocked. When she heard this, she jolted and immediately said, “There’s information! Tina received information about the mobilization of the elf army! I saw it too!”
Hong San’s eyes moved and he asked, “Content!”
Sword Saint Snowfall looked at the map of the room and strode over. An ice blade condensed in her hand and she stabbed at the map one by one, “Here! Here! Here! And here… The troops of the elves have been mobilized to the nearby city wall to the station. In addition, the elves are transferring heavy equipment to the port here. There is heavy magic equipment, the Air Force Alliance, and the accompanying mages…”
As she spoke, she was filled with regret.
When Tina received the information that day, she had also taken a closer look. Tina was suspicious, but she said that it was fine, because it was normal for the army to be mobilized to the nearby settlement. Therefore, they used the residents of Goethe as hostages to guard against the strategic strike of Kang De killing everything. The air attack equipment transferred from the mainland was only a defense just in case…
However, she did not expect that the elves actually wanted to take the initiative to attack!
Hong San frowned and stared at the various directions of the map for a long time. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “It seems that there’s no mistake… On the surface, these mobilizations seem to be dispersing the troops to occupy the town and guard against the attack of an indiscriminate forbidden curse, but this is also the mobilization of troops. In this way, the Elven Expeditionary Army can raid the capital of Goethe, the Red Maple City, as soon as possible!”
“—But why!” Kang De shouted. “Why?”
“After the war erupts, the reason is unimportant, Your Highness! Self-interest, stupidity, recklessness, arrogance… The right to start a war is in the hands of a few people. A vast war might only be because of stupid contempt. These are not important! What’s important is what to do if it’s true!”
Hong San said sternly, “Previously, the Sword Saint said that she saw the enemy slaughtering a Goethe army near the Harlem District. However, the Harlem District is the area occupied by the elves and the defense area of the elves’ vassal, Savada. Now that the battle has already stopped, how can Goethe be the first to launch hostilities? Moreover, it’s such an extremely powerful elite soldier who can fight that powerful enemy for a long time?”
Kang De glared at him. “You mean…”
“An excuse!”
Hong San said in a low voice, “The elves are the overlords of the world and pride themselves as high-level races. They have to have a reason, especially since the current war is being watched by the world. There has to be a reasonable reason to start a war again! For example, Goethe is the first to provoke and start a war—they’ve done this trick many times!”
“Moreover, it’s definitely not only this army! As long as the Goethe army is the first to launch a surprise attack or even slaughter, the Elven invasion army will naturally counterattack! It will occupy morality!”
Kang De gritted his teeth and said, “But why?!”
“There’s no reason! Your Highness! Please calm down!” Hong San shouted, then slowed down his tone, “Perhaps there’s an inside story we don’t know, or perhaps there’s a logic we don’t know… but this is not important.”
“Yes… you’re right. This is not important anymore.”
Kang De took two steps back and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He spun on the spot and raised his head, breathing hard a few times, “I want to go to the Red Maple City… What’s going on? Let’s go take a look!”
Sword Saint Snowfall’s expression was as calm as water, and his entire body emitted a cold aura, “Then let’s leave now!”
They were about to move when Hong San opened his hands and blocked the door. “Please wait.”
Hillmelia said coldly, “Move!”
Hong San said calmly, “Your Highness, don’t you understand what Princess Tina means? The reason why she lied is that she doesn’t want you to be involved in this war and danger anymore. Now…”
“I don’t care what she says! I can do whatever I want!” Kang De shouted. “Move!”
“I reject!”
Hong San raised his eyebrows and shouted, “This is the responsibility of a strategist! The angrier Your Highness is, the more I have to be firm! If Your Highness leaves in a hurry, it’s no different from courting death!”
Hillmelia was a Sword Saint expert in the world, and Kang De was a new human nuclear bomb. Being stared at by these two people with sinister and cold gazes, even the emperor of the Empire would probably tremble.
However, Hong San remained fearless.
He looked at the two of them proudly. “I’m afraid the information Princess Tina received earlier was instigated by the person who planned all this to reveal to her! I’m also sure that the princess has also received the information that the Elven Expeditionary Force is about to launch a surprise attack on the Red Maple City! This is what the mastermind wants. Let Princess Tina ask you for help and lure you to the Red Maple City. This must be their plan!”
“As mentioned in the information, the large number of air force regiments urgently mobilized, the mysterious heavy magic devices, the hundreds of mages mobilized, and what the information did not include are conspiracies! Prepare! The strong! The army! They’re all prepared for you! Since the elves dare to launch this beheading operation, they must have taken your factor into account. No matter where you go! No matter how you go! They’re all prepared!”
At this point, Hong San’s tone slowed down, but his tone was still gloomy, “What’s the difference between going in your current state and courting death? You won’t even be able to reach the Red Maple City alive.”

Without waiting for Kang De to speak, he said, “I don’t object to helping.”

“I’m only reminding you to be fully prepared.”
“Princess Tina realizes that this is a trap. She might have her plans and arrangements. We don’t know yet, but what we can confirm is that she must want you to be safe and stay away from this war.”
“I admire such a woman for choosing you between the country and you. She thought that the innocent you should not sink deeper into this dangerous war, so she made a choice because you were not related to this war to begin with. This is the principle, but in a situation where your family is in danger and is about to die with the wind, she still chose reason and not emotion. I admire and am touched by such feelings.”
“Therefore, I don’t object to you saving her. I even hope that you can save her. As Your Highness’s retainer, I approve of such a woman as your wife.”
“However, you have to be fully prepared. You can’t be rash, you can’t trap yourself, and you can’t let Princess Tina down. I beg you to think rationally and calmly and win.”
He lowered his head. “This is my request. Unless Your Highness calmly gives a reasonable judgment and plan, I’d rather die than let you leave Valentine.”
Kang De breathed hard and calmed his pounding heart. He tried his best to slow the surging blood flow and slow it down. He breathed and nodded. “Yes, the plan. I have to think about it. I have to think about it carefully. I can’t go over like this. I can’t go over like this…”
Hong San maintained his lowered head, “Your Highness, the journey to Red Maple City will definitely not be peaceful. There will definitely be armies intercepting and stopping you. There will definitely be more than three waves… Your destructive power can only be used three times, at least in front of the world. As for how to launch a surprise attack and how to help, we need to plan.”
“Yes, the plan…”
Kang De took two steps back and looked at Hillmelia. “How’s your injury? Take a break. An hour. I need at least an hour. Think about it and prepare…”
Sword Saint Snowfall wanted to speak, but Kang De looked at her seriously. “Believe me, I need time. Time.”
Hong San was deep in thought, but he did not speak.
Kang De glanced at Hong San. “Think about the rescue plan first. I’ll be back in an hour…”
An hour was equivalent to seven hours on Earth, which was seven hours to formulate a plan to collect weapons and equipment. He could even stay on Earth and hand the spatial anchor coordinates to Sword Saint Snowfall or the gorilla to bring. He could collect weapons on Earth…
“Yes.”
Hong San bowed.
Then, he straightened up and asked, “Your Highness, the elf diplomatic team, especially that lord…”
A trace of pain flashed through Kang De’s eyes. There was disbelief, suspicion, and anticipation.
If this was the painstaking strategy plan of the Elven Expeditionary Force, it was difficult to say if there was any shadow of an elf among them. According to the past history of the elves, there was no tradition of subduing the higher-ups. Moreover, there was ample support transferred from the native land. There was definitely an order from the elven ruler.
Was it the Elven Council, or… was it her…
In other words, did that elf know? Or was all of this…
Recalling his experience in the past few days and Tagris’s performance, he was really unwilling to believe that these were all disguises and lies. The other party had taught him to do his best, and the enemy from outer space indeed existed…
If the other party was also in the dark, what would happen if he told him about this?
It was naturally the best outcome to be greatly shocked and provide help and even turn the tide to stop this war… However, when the army launched, the bloody battle was continuous and earth-shattering. Could it be easily stopped?
Moreover, would he really stop it?
There was another possibility. Since the bloody battle had begun and was irreversible, would Tagris make a decision immediately? Even if he was captured by the pro-war faction, would he choose the action that was most beneficial to the country?
If the elves immediately turned hostile after laying their cards on the table and started a war between the two sides, the high-end combat strength on their side would only be the gorilla and Sword Saint Snowfall. Apart from Tagris, there was also the Sage, Elandir, a few elves, and a group of Twilight Air Force. They would first fight fiercely. If they were injured, they would probably not be able to help Red Maple City even if they wanted to… Things would become even more troublesome.
“Also…”
After laying his cards on the table, what if the other party pretended to agree to help and secretly ambushed and turned hostile…
For a moment, all kinds of chaotic thoughts surged into his mind. This was very important. If he was not careful, he would not be able to save Red Maple City in time and Tina would die. Since she had chosen to return alone, she was probably already determined to die.
Perhaps after the Glory Sand Incident, Tina, who had single-handedly raised the flag, gathered the army, and recklessly peddled the Ponzi scheme, had already had a strong tendency to self-destruct. Moreover, after Kang De turned the situation around, Goethe had a chance of winning. The heavy pressure of the Ponzi scheme also made Tina at a loss…
However, he had to save her no matter what.
For some reason, he could not explain his emotions. He did not know what impulse he had, was he touched or loved… However, it did not matter.
He had to save her.
He could not let any situation interfere.
“…Don’t inform the elves yet. Wait for me to return. An hour.” Kang De’s voice was low and calm, “It’s still early. She can’t come for a while…”
Regardless of whether he should tell Tagris or not, regardless of whether the other party would help, he had to go to Earth to obtain weapons that were powerful enough to deal with the battle. He would definitely not place his hopes on the kindness and pity of others. It was the most precious lesson that the Battle of Glory Sand had taught Kang De.
He wanted to control the situation at all times.
—You attacked first…
No matter how many elves died because of this, it was not something Kang De needed to care about.
This was because you elves attacked first.
Hong San nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll arrange the defense.”
Sword Saint Snowfall stayed to rest and heal.
Kang De returned to the room with the gorilla and closed the door. “The usual.”
“I understand. No one can disturb you.” The gorilla glanced at Kang De and went forward to hug him. “It’s fine. With me around, we can definitely save Big Gold Hair.”
Kang De forced a smile and activated his ability to travel through the white fog world and return to Earth.
He opened his eyes, sat up, and pulled open the curtain. The sky was bright.
He took a deep breath and did not get up. He sat on the bed and pressed his head, forcing himself to be quiet. Tina’s letter kept being held in his hand, and the girl’s voice and a smile flashed through his mind.
His relationship with Tina was actually relatively strange. When they first met on the deserted island, they experienced some things together and left together. They encountered a night that changed their fate, the blood and killing of Glory Sand.
This experience completely changed Kang De and Tina. These two people who also had beautiful hearts and yearned for the light were no longer naive. They recognized the cruelty of the world and that their hearts had to be strong.
However, after experiencing painful choices and killing, Kang De obtained salvation and opened the way home. His parents, Xiaoman, everything he was familiar with, even the last protection of the knight in the other world, Hong San, Nick, the gorilla, Valentine… There were many people and things that could comfort his injured heart.
But what about Tina?
The country was on the verge of collapse. The citizens were suffering, the country had fallen, and her family was in danger. She led the army and fought the elves alone. The best news for her during that period was that Kang De was still alive…
Perhaps when the news that he was still alive and even fighting for Goethe, so much so that he had wiped out the five armies alone, Kang De had already become the only light in Tina’s heart.
That was why she made this choice…
Save her.
He had to save her.
The sooner the better. Weapons, equipment, ammunition… The more the better, the stronger the better.
He could ask Xie Ligan if he had any larger firearms. He could buy them with gold. If he did not want to sell them, he could snatch them. At most, he could go to the American base in Japan and cause chaos…
Kang De wiped his face, jumped up, and took out his phone.
At this moment, it was day. His phone began to buzz and vibrate. It should be the messages and calls he had missed in the past two days. Kang De did not have the time to look at them carefully. He unlocked his phone and called Xie Ligan.
After three rings, the phone immediately picked up. The voice of this outstanding entrepreneur, the leader of the Xuanhua Group, revealed a trace of panic and fear, “I didn’t do it!”
“…Hmm?”
Kang De revealed a trace of surprise. Before he could ask in detail, there was the sound of knocking on the door.
Xiaoman must have seen him pull open the curtain.

“Wait.”
He walked out of the bedroom and went to the living room. He pulled open the door and Xiaoman rushed in like a whirlwind. She looked at Kang De with a relieved expression, but there was still great worry and uneasiness on her face.
“You’re finally back!” She hugged Kang De. There was even a trace of tears in her tone, but she tried her best to comfort him, “Kang De… you have to remain calm and calm down. Listen to me carefully…”
She took a deep breath and was silent for a moment. She looked up with worried and relieved tears in her eyes and slowly said, “There’s a war in Africa. Comoros has been invaded and Uncle Kang’s entire company has been taken hostage…”
