Chapter 55: Protect You

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The knight pushed the lever of the remote control.

The signal was received.

The racing electric motor in the shell was immediately activated. It pushed the ram and lit the disposable lighter.

A cluster of flames suddenly lit up.

This was enough.

The surface of the gas tank was branded with a flame-strengthening enchantment by Kang De. The tank was at the limit of its endurance. As the flames swept past, the flames’ magic patterns quickly absorbed them and became the last straw.

The tolerance of the gas tank for element enchantment had already reached the limit.

Cracks appeared on the surface.

The heat of the magic patterns expanded, adding fuel to the fire.

The tank cracked.

The 15 kilograms of liquid petroleum gas instantly expanded by 300 times. It turned into an astonishingly large gas that spread in a violent manner. The physical gaseous shock wave tore through the fragile internal structure. The first explosion surged, but the main event was still behind!

The oil gas that had broken free from its restraints spread and evaporated violently, quickly mixing with the surrounding air. In an instant, the concentration of oil gas in the air quickly decreased. In other words, it had fallen to the critical value that could be ignited!

The broken tank still contained a huge amount of fire elements.

An open fire was formed, and the volatile oil gas was quickly ignited. A violent explosion rose with surging flames, and the second wave of high-temperature impact swept out!

The most lethal thing was never explosion and burning, but fragmentation.

The shattered tank, the hidden iron bar, the shattered fragments of the elf sword, and the sharp and solid sand and rocks pushed these sharp gadgets in all directions.

The elves who were focused on watching the movie were all squeezed within a few meters of the screen.

There was a physical explosion and a chemical explosion. The interval between the two explosions was extremely small, and they happened almost at the same time. They saw a violent light explode in front of them, and the rapid heat had already assaulted their faces.

The fragment swept across as if it had been cut. As the flames rose, the gathered elves had already fallen like wheat. At such a close distance, even the stronger elves would definitely not be lucky.

This bomb almost solved all the elves in the camp.

Almost.

There were also a few sentries who barely fulfilled their duty and endured the temptation. They did not stay to look at the magical “magic device” and chose to continue to guard.

They heard the violent explosion and saw the rising flames. The sentry tower under their feet was trembling. Their teammates were instantly swallowed by the flames. It happened suddenly and they were caught off guard.

No matter how elite the soldiers were, they would be stunned for a few seconds, let alone the sailors of the Ballista Group.

An elf sentry reacted the fastest and immediately grabbed the horn at his waist. However, in the next moment, an arrow tore through the air and pierced his neck from the side.

Two more arrows followed.

The other two sentries followed.

The kangaroo jumped out with the bow and looked around.

On the other side, the knight also held his sword and shield and rushed down towards the camp.

Kang De also wanted to get up, but the princess grabbed his wrist.

She said, “Please stay and protect me. Leave that to the knight.”

Kang De was stunned.

He had already understood the knight’s intention in fighting for the remote control just now and now understood Tina’s meaning.

However, he still said, “It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to take care of me like this…”

Tina said softly, “Kang De is our Goethe’s honored guest. We’re indebted to you for your care and have involved you in our war with the elves. We’re already very grateful that you can help. How can we let you be tainted and see more blood…”

Kang De was silent.

He could not tell if he was touched or frustrated.

To a person who had grown up in modern society, killing was a very distant word.

As a civilized person, he naturally resisted killing intelligent creatures in his heart. However, according to his current situation, the war was no longer far from him. Instead of waiting for the slaughter to find him, it was better for him to adapt to killing and death first.

This was what his rationality said.

It was this principle.

If he wanted to leave this island and step onto the continent, these things could not be avoided…

“Kang De, you have never killed anyone, and of course, you have never killed an elf… right?”

The girl beside him asked softly.

Kang De did not answer. His body instinctively tensed.

Tina did not seem to notice his strange expression. Instead, she said softly, “There’s such a blessing in Knight Goethe’s creed oath… May the clean always stay clean.”

“This is also the oath and wish of many knights.”

“They stained the blade with blood and carried lives on their backs so that the people they swore to protect would not be stained with blood. They wanted to carry the heavy weight of the people they swore to protect.”

“Because killing… is a very solemn matter.”

“There are some things that can’t be turned back once you start.”

She did not let go of Kang De’s wrist. Instead, she gathered her courage and gently held his hand. The girl looked at him calmly and firmly and slowly said, “I’ve been protected like this since I was young. Although I grew up in the Grand Duke’s family, although there was no lack of conspiracy and secret strife in the palace and the capital, my family and friends protected me and kept me away from these dark and cruel things.”

“But there’s always a limit to protection.”

“My father has always protected us siblings and used his broad back to block us so that we won’t witness and experience too much darkness and sin. However, he’s old, so it’s inevitable that he’s powerless. Therefore, Eldest Brother left Father’s protection and stood with him. He was stained with blood and faced evil head-on. He continued to protect us with Father and let us live carefreely.”

“Next is Sister, then Second Brother… We kept growing up and new situations kept happening. Everyone stood up without hesitation and forced themselves to accept things they had never come into contact with, only to protect the people close to us… In the end, I was the only one protected by everyone.”

“Now, I’ll stand up too.”

She showed a sad and firm smile. “I’m going to the Empire to lobby the capital. This is my duty. When they sent me on my way, my brother and sister cried. Father did not come at all. I know why they’re sad because the youngest family they tried their best to protect fought alongside them in the end.”

“Kang De, I’m already prepared to… do bad things.”

“I will violate my principles and stain my hands with blood. In order to achieve my goal, I will use unspeakable methods… If Goethe needs me to do this, I’ll probably do it.”

“I might become a bad woman.”

“This is what my brother and sister used to do. Sometimes, I have to give up something to protect more important things…”

“But sometimes I think…” Tina’s smile was sad and confused.” My brother and sister faced the darkness head-on and did not hesitate to dirty their hands. They did it to protect me from these conspiracies and disputes. Now that I’m fighting alongside them, I might do something they’ve done before. Who should I protect now? ”

Her gaze fixed on Kang De without moving.

It made Kang De’s heart beat faster.

As expected, the girl slowly lowered her head. “Although this is a little strange and a little like talking to herself, I still want to say… I hope to protect you.”

“If doing some bad things can keep you clean and free from blood and darkness and sorrow, I’ll definitely do it… I hope to protect you.”

“…”

“…”

Kang De was stunned for a moment.

Wait, wait, wait.

Was… was this a confession?

What did she mean? It did look a little similar, but it was very sudden. Why did she suddenly confess? Could it be that the crystal had also strengthened his charm? However, he looked in the mirror every day and did not discover any changes.

Or rather, it was like how he often ate crystals, causing his physical fitness to continuously increase. However, there was no reference object on the island to compare to humans, causing him to not know how strong he had become. Therefore, according to this explanation, did he not know how handsome he was now?

Just as his imagination was running wild, Tina cruelly shattered his fantasy.

“Of… of course, this sentence doesn’t mean anything else! After all, you are my friend and have helped us a lot. You even took the initiative to step into the war with the elves for us. Such favor is very heavy. No matter what we do in return, it’s only right!”

—Then you can directly marry me! What do you mean by there’s no way to repay your kindness? In other words, you have to wait until your next life to marry me? Can’t you think of a way to repay me in this life?

“This is also Knight Cleveland’s intention…”

—Why mention that cross-dressing knight in such a situation? I know he has good intentions and you have good intentions. Then can the two of you have different emotions?

“So, Kang De, can you understand me?”

Tina could not guess the complicated heart of an innocent man on Earth at all. She held Kang De’s hand and said seriously, “War is cruel, and so is killing. In this world now, if a person can live cleanly and safely, how good would it be?”

“In order to protect me, the knight stepped into the real world early on. For Goethe, I’m about to join my siblings in conspiracy and calculation. However, Kang De, you’re different.”

Tina’s eyes shone with inexplicable light. It was unknown if that expression was envy or sadness.

“Perhaps, Cathay seems to have become very different…”

She said softly, “Kang De must have grown up in a very happy and carefree environment. You give me a very strange feeling… I’m very envious of you. Therefore, promise me that you must stay away from killing and not let your hands be easily stained with blood, okay?”

At this moment, no matter what Kang De thought, when he saw the girl’s serious and sincere gaze with a trace of pleading, he nodded, “…Yes.”

“That’s great.”

The girl revealed a sincere smile.

It was as if he had completed some important mission.

She said seriously, “We’ll arrange everything. Don’t worry.”

Kang De asked in confusion, “Arrange what?”

Tina felt that she had let it slip and hurriedly covered it up, “Nothing… Ah, the knight is coming!”

While the two of them were talking and waiting, Cleveland had already finished his surgery as quickly as possible. After confirming that there were no more fish that had escaped the net, he turned around and returned.

Seeing this, the princess said, “Let’s go over too!”

Kang De was suspicious, but he did not say it out loud. They met up with Cleveland.

“The plan worked.”

The knight said, “The temporary command center has been taken down. We should immediately start the next step. Kang De, the explosion just now was very loud, and the light rose. Not only will the elves at the other outposts on the island sense it, but the observer of the Wayne Wings will definitely notice this light.”

Kang De said, “No.”

After settling the command post at the beach, the next step was to seize the ship. Then, he had to contact the traitor on the ship first. He had already sent the pigeon to find the parrot.

The pigeon with a camera tied to its body faithfully recorded the parrot’s sinister results.

For example, when the pigeon found the parrot, it was on the observation platform of the Wayne Wings. The elf observer was sitting upright with his eyes wide open. The hole between his eyebrows was frozen with black blood. The parrot stood on the shoulder of the deceased and said solemnly to the camera, “M-m-m-monster kill!”

No matter which eight elves the parrot killed, the observer was definitely one of them. In other words, although the explosion of the gas tank was dazzling and bright, the Wayne Wings, far at sea, must know nothing about it.

As for the explosion—sorry, the sea breeze was too strong to hear clearly.

“The observer is already dead. The parrot is on the ship. I’ve already instructed it to wait for an opportunity to act and take action when the opportunity arises. Without the observer, the elves, and the sea is dark, the probability of the plan succeeding has increased further.”

Kang De said, “There are three ships at the beach. I’ll take one with Gorilla and the others and go to the Wayne Wings. The two of you row back to the Goethe camp on the Second North Island and meet up with your people. If the plan to seize the ship succeeds, you’ll lead people to receive us. If the difficulty is too great, I’ll sink the ship and pull it down. This matter is not troublesome.”

Why was he so enthusiastic?

Of course, there were benefits.

Most of the elves had already been lured ashore. Through the surveillance of the pigeons, Kang De was certain that at this moment, only a few dozen sailors in charge of maintaining the ballista were left on the Wayne Wings. There were also 70 to 80 unconscious elf mages. In the past, Kang De might have hesitated, but the kangaroo’s rapid arrows gave him a lot of confidence. These magical animals were indeed not ordinary.

With the magic medicine given by Tina and the various weapons that had been enchanted and strengthened, Kang De felt that the risk of this trip would not be too great.

In comparison, the benefits were especially huge.

There were 70 to 80 mages serving on an elf main ship. Even if most of them were noobs like junior mages or even apprentices, there were powerful spellcasters. To Kang De, powerful spellcasters were equivalent to all kinds of magic equipment and resources.

With magic equipment, it meant that there was a new enchantment that could be copied… cough, referenced.

Moreover, this was an elf main ship with a so-called magic attack platform. Although he did not know what it was, it was definitely something good.

Therefore, it was better for Uncle Kang to rush up and plunder first to save himself the trouble of going with the Goethe people. He still had to consider the problem of dividing the loot. “Look, I boarded the ship alone and heroically killed the enemy. Taking the lion’s share of the spoils of war is what I should do. Although you didn’t make it, you avoided the casualties of a fight. In the end, you still profited.”

Perfect logic.

However, he encountered a stubborn person.

The knight raised his eyebrows and said, “To be able to fight a battle with an elf main ship is an honor that all the Goethe Navy fanatically pursues. We definitely won’t hide behind our allies, let alone watch you kill for us. Kang De, please leave this difficult and glorious battle to the Goethe people.”
