Chapter 52 - Another Bold Plan

“This… is a language I’ve never heard before!” The elves looked at each other, “Moreover, this sound definitely doesn’t come from ordinary living beings!”

Obviously.

The language was English.

Kang De had specially let the princess go and confirmed that this language did not exist in the other world.

The sound emitted from the high-end sound system was definitely different from ordinary living beings.

The reason why he chose English instead of Chinese was that there was also a Cathayan country in the other world. Its language was similar to Chinese. This Elven Navy was peerless in the world and blocked the trade route between Goethe and Cathay. It must have interacted with the Eastern Kingdom. If the elves leading the team had a linguistic expert who could understand the meaning of the words in the video materials that Kang De had created, the mystery would naturally be reduced.

He might even give himself away.

It would even bring more or less trouble to Cathay. Kang De had a natural sense of intimacy and kindness towards this country that was in another world but somehow had a similar civilization and language.

If Cathay did not do anything to harm Kang De’s body, interests, and emotions, this intimacy would definitely continue. This was very normal.

If Kang De were to record and dub it himself and lure these elves to foolishly explore the “ancient ruins”, it would be very difficult. After all, there was no professional equipment, and there was not enough time. Without post-production tuning, with his current accent and speech skills, he might only make the elves feel suspicious and out of character.

This was still based on the fact that the elves could understand the Cathayan language.

If they did not understand, it would be a waste of effort.

Therefore, in the end, he decided to use English. After all, there was a sense of beauty in a language they did not understand. Just like watching foreign movies or playing foreign games, the original English version was very interesting. If there was a Chinese voiceover, he would more or less feel that it was a little strange.

This feeling was naturally related to the professional standards of the dubbing actors, but it was also extremely related to the factor of their mother tongue. Perhaps foreigners who spoke English as their mother tongue would feel awkward when listening to less professional English dubbing, and they would also feel that the actors were good at reading. However, people who did not speak English in their mother tongue felt that it was very interesting—the reason was only that they did not understand it very well.

Although he did not understand, he felt that it was reasonable.

When the incomprehensible language slowly flowed out of the rift valley in a vast and solemn tone, the shock to the elves was huge. The sailors were in a commotion. They all knew where they were.

The legendary Holy Seal Islands were a forbidden place destroyed by the gods.

Now, the solemn unknown language sounded with exciting music. Who could remain indifferent? Curiosity and curiosity were the nature of intelligent life.

Moreover, the Goethe people were very likely to be ahead of them.

Sir Taize and Captain Estes’s eyes met.

They all saw the hesitation in the other party’s eyes.

“I’ll bring a team down,” the captain said. “Please be on guard here to provide support in case the Goethe people plot… Let me see what’s below.”

This was actually the best choice because the bottom was unknown and there were risks. Perhaps it was a trap of the Goethe people, or perhaps it was something even more dangerous… In comparison, it was safer to stay above. The only risk came from the possible sneak attack of the Goethe people, but as long as he was careful and wary, he could calmly fight.

The captain was the controller and ruler of the entire ship. It was very wise to let him command the overall situation.

However…

Captain Estes hesitated.

He recalled Master Rackles’ analysis of the Holy Seal Islands and the fragments of the holy artifact that had been discovered. If there was really something shockingly valuable under this rift valley…

Whose greatest credit was it?

Although he was already the captain of the main ship, he still needed to be promoted and wanted to go further. It had to be known that the contribution evaluation of the elves was especially strict, especially the great contribution that was enough to shock the capital. Almost every participant had to be strictly questioned and investigated. Although as the captain, he had to contribute to the leadership, if the contribution and discovery this time were really as great as Master Rackles said…

Then the greatest credit would probably fall to Sir Taize and Master Rackles.

If that was the case, if this humble and careful marine captain in front of him was favored by the gods, then this kid from the countryside might directly climb over him…

The elves were suspicious and meticulous. Sometimes, they valued strategy more than strength. Even the ministers and nobles of the capital were especially unwilling to give the soldiers too much power. They were unwilling to burn a large sum of finances into military expenditure, and they did not like wars that cost the people money. Not only did they spend money like water, but they also had to pay a large amount of war compensation after the war. If they wanted to invade and seize the land, they had to spend a large amount of manpower and resources to maintain their rule.

They felt that the Twilight Dynasty could use schemes and negotiations to balance the continent and make the various races panic.

Although the soldiers were much better and more belligerent, they would sometimes think blindly.

This was because this was the nature of elves… They had a long lifespan and had plenty of time to think blindly. Because they had lived for a long time, they were patient and could plan before taking action.

Such a racial personality was actually very flawed because the so-called schemes were not only used to figure out the enemy but more likely to be used to figure out their own people.

Internal strife was the nature of all intelligent races who had established civilization.

This was because desires were one of the decisive factors that led to the establishment of civilization… Perhaps, there was no other.

“No.”

Therefore, the captain said, “Let us go together. Sir Taize, this matter is extraordinary and Master takes it extremely seriously. I have to see it with my own eyes. It’s unknown below, and the situation is changing rapidly. At the very least, I have decades of sailing and exploration experience. It’s safer for you and me to join forces… After all, we carry a huge mission.”

‘What a crafty and greedy vulture.’

‘Your heart is darker than the River Styx. Your spirit is lower than a gnome.’

Sir Taize cursed in his mind.

Not only did the captain reject his request, but he also suggested that they go together.

‘You’re afraid that I’ll snatch the credit so you arranged for me to guard above. You can go down and explore yourself. That’s fine, I have nothing to say—let me go with you. What do you mean by the two of you joining forces but investigating battles and scouting the way? I’m definitely the captain of the Marine Corps, right?’

‘You actually want me to be your shield. May the King of Darkness curse your soul!’

He was furious, but he was helpless because the other party was the ship captain.

In terms of military rank and status, the other party was above him. It was reasonable to give such an order.

The only thing that could be used to comfort him was… at the very least, if they went down together, the credit would not run away.

However, the risks he should take were not reduced at all, but the credit was much lesser.

—Despicable Estes, this matter is definitely not over.

Sir Taize hid the frustration in his heart and maintained his composure. He thought for a moment and said, “Alright, Captain’s experience and stability are the forces we need to rely on. Then, half of the troops led by Adjutant Myron will be on guard here… Captain, please give the order.”

The captain smiled and nodded, patting Sir Taize on the shoulder.

—This country bumpkin from Ice Valley County is still too young. If you’re indignant and suppress your anger, I’ll be more at ease. If you smile and talk calmly, I’ll feel that you’re resentful.

No wonder the countryside people who came to the capital were played so badly.

How stupid.

It seemed that he might have to find an opportunity to find a new marine captain.

He said, “Then, start preparing the ropes and lights. Let’s descend.”

Everyone hid their emotions very well.

However, the captain sighed in his heart.

Previously, because of the master’s meditation premonition, they had risked their lives to come to this forbidden sea area for their country. However, now, other than the Goethe people, there were greater benefits and a better future ahead. The once impassioned warriors all had their own calculations.

‘We elves are really sad,’ he sighed in his heart.

Moreover, his heart was like stone and did not change his previous thoughts and killing intent.

At the same time, on the northern beach, Kang De and the others approached the temporary command post of the elves.

“There are still many people… I have to deal with this side first. After all, these assault boats have to be destroyed.”

Kang De looked at the knight. “Therefore, I have a bold plan…”
