Mo Zeming and a group of old, weak, women and children were driven into a dead-end alley by the murlocs. Thanks to Mo Chen and three other men blocking the intersection with wooden door panels and bags of food, the group was able to survive the volleys of firebolts and cannons.
Escape and save your life.
However, this alone could not help them escape from danger. The murlocs quickly changed their tactics and actually set fire to all the roadblocks. They themselves lined up with weapons raised, intending to wait and wait.
The dry grain and wooden boards became good combustion accelerants. By the time the young man in white came with the crowd, the fire was already very strong. The thick smoke was billowing along the narrow alley and going straight into the mouths and noses of the trapped islanders.
Desperate coughs and cries spread, and some people even fainted.
Upon seeing this, Qi Ziyin immediately ordered an attack on the fishmen: "You guys follow me to distract the fishmen, and the rest quickly put out the fire and save people!"
The conceited murloc never thought that among the islanders who fled in a hurry, there would be those who dared to turn back to rescue their companions. They were momentarily disrupted by the surprise attack from behind. When they finally reacted, the islanders also
The murlocs were already in a complete melee, and the fire bolt guns could no longer exert their power. The two sides once again started a bloody close-quarters fight!
The fishmen live on the seabed all year round and are far less strong than the people on land. The islanders only charged a few times and completely broke up their formation. Qi Ziyin waved his long knife and quickly killed the leader of the fishmen with continuous powerful chops.
The whalebone dagger in the man's hand flew away, and he immediately took a step forward and pressed his fangs against the opponent's throat:
"You——Why do you attack Qingwan repeatedly? And why do you have to kill people?!"
The white-clothed young man's eyes were full of grief and anger, but he did not immediately swing his knife to take the other person's life. The fishman was not afraid at all, and asked loudly in the not-so-standard official promotion language:
"This continent is the land of the ancestors of my Cangyu clan! You bunch of parasites have occupied my clan's land. Shouldn't you allow its true owner to take it away?"
"What is your land? This continent is the home of thousands of people in the world!" Qi Ziyin was suddenly confused by these words.
He has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he can memorize almost all the books and classics in the Wende Palace of Ye State. However, in all the records, there is not a single word about these weird fish-men in front of him and the so-called...
Cangyu tribe:
"I only know that in ancient times, our ancestors angered the gods and caused disasters from the sky. Floods were raging and evil beasts were rampant. We are all the survivors of our ancestors. It was not until the founding of the Baijiang clan that we expanded our territory.
With today’s Great Ascension, these are all evidenced by records from thousands of years ago, and they are absolutely correct!”
"You are talking nonsense! The only people in the world who can claim to be the remnants of our ancestors are my Cangyu clan! You untouchables on land are just ignorant ants. Who allowed you to speak so shamelessly!"
"But the world is big enough for all things to coexist, so why do we have to separate high and low and fight to the death?"
"Coexist together? The untouchables on land are all bloodthirsty and greedy barbarians! I would like to ask, would you compare yourself to mosquitoes, flies and maggots?!" The fishman seemed not to have expected that the young man in front of him would try to make peace.
He was stunned for a moment, but continued to curse.
"The territory of the Great Sheng Dynasty is more than ten thousand miles from east to west, north to south, and there are twelve princes and princes in total. The local pronunciation, customs, and even the food are very different. There are more than tens of thousands of family names. In addition, there are Di people in Shuozhou in the north. Five tribes. For more than 1,800 years since the Great Ascension and the founding of the dynasty, although there have been countless wars among various countries and tribes, there have still been more wars and fewer wars. Regardless of your clan’s origins, your thinking and speech are similar to ours. What’s wrong with being connected and coexisting and prospering together?”
As the young man spoke, he suddenly tugged on his clothes, "Look again, these are the scars caused by the disease when the black crystals on the island moved not long ago. One of the hundred people on the island will be forever It’s impossible to remove them all! It’s only today that I realized that these are not scars, but those fish scales on your body!”
I saw a round scar the size of a palm on Qi Ziyin's chest. It was raised on the skin and was so fair and shiny. There were faint circles and semi-arc lines on it. It really looked like the fish-man opposite. The skin on the body is covered with scales.
At this moment, he didn't know exactly where these hostile prejudices came from in the hearts of the foreigners opposite him. However, he felt that they were not illiterate barbarians, and he still wanted to persuade them to reconcile.
"Impossible! Untouchables are untouchables. How can you transform into a noble existence like ours?!"
The fishman's face also changed greatly because of his surprise. However, seeing was believing and he could not refute it. After a few words, he seemed to be convinced and lowered his head hesitantly, but he still spoke harshly.
"Young Master Ziyin! The little master's illness has not fully recovered yet, and now he has passed out due to the fire. Why are you talking nonsense with that monster!"
Mo Chen's roar suddenly came from behind the young man. The man who had escaped from the trap was now red-eyed. He held several newly captured prisoners with a knife and wanted to chop off their heads as he spoke.
"Don't do anything yet! Take all these fishmen to the boat together!"
"Are you crazy? What are you doing with these monsters? Kill them all so that there will be no future troubles!"
Qi Ziyin's stop made Mo Chen dissatisfied. However, this move obviously caused a look of disbelief on the face of the fishman who was kneeling on the ground, and then he raised his head gratefully, as if he had something to say.
However, before the other party could speak, the sky above Qi Ziyin's head was suddenly illuminated by a bolt of lightning. The lightning accurately struck the Tianling Caps of the murloc captives, burning them into a pile of charred bones on the spot!
The young man was also blown away, and there was a rumble in his ears. When he wiped the blood with his hand, he realized that his ear drum had been shattered by the thunderbolt just now. In the uncontrollable dizziness, he vaguely heard the sound coming from not far away. A strange man shouted angrily:
"Those who surrender to the enemy are no longer worthy of being descendants of the Cangyu tribe! Today, only one of us and these land people can survive!"
Qi Ziyin gritted his teeth and turned around to look, and saw that the person speaking was the tall and thin man wearing a cloak who used magic to break open boulders. The murloc army following him now looked like a gray-white wave. , confidently rushing towards him and the other islanders, it is impossible to stop them!
"Mo Chen, please take brother Ze Ming and the women and children on the island to leave first. The remaining men who can handle weapons will stay behind with me and do everything possible to block the enemy!"
The boy in white didn't hesitate for a moment, and once again pulled out the long blade, one dark and one red, from his waist. At the same time, the firebolt gun in the fishman's hand rang again!
In the midst of the rising flames and rising smoke, Qi Ziyin suddenly felt that time had slowed down. He clearly saw a lead bullet flying out of the weapon in the fishman's hand and shooting directly towards the vital part of his chest. He quickly
He raised the Yin Ya in his hand and wanted to check it.
There was just a crisp sound, and the blade suddenly shook. It accurately hit the flying lead bullet, cutting it into two halves, one large and one small. The young man's arms were also shaken.
I was so numb that I could no longer hold the weapon.
Half of the cut lead bullet flew out on the spot, but the other half still hit Qi Ziyin's left abdomen, spinning him around for several times before falling heavily to the ground. He only felt a wave of
A warm feeling kept gushing out from the wound in his abdomen, dyeing his whole body red. Several men beside him who were fighting against the enemy were also injured and fell to the ground, struggling in pain and screaming miserably.
The young man struggled to hold up his upper body with both arms, trying to crawl down to find the long knife that had fallen to nowhere. But as soon as he moved a little, he immediately felt weak. The pain drained all the strength from his body in an instant, and he could do nothing.
He could only fall to the ground and watch helplessly as the murloc army approached him step by step.
The only thing that made Qi Ziyin feel relieved was seeing that Mo Chen in the distance had successfully evacuated from the battlefield with Mo Zeming and the surviving old, weak, women and children, leaving no one behind. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to
He smiled, but felt as if there were countless ants crawling and biting on his cheeks. Then he suddenly saw a piece of meat covered in blood and dust falling not far in front of him——
It turned out that the other half of the lead bullet deflected by Yin Ya actually hit the young man's cheek! Now his nose and half of his cheek were completely cut off, leaving a bloody mess on his originally handsome face.
There are holes as big as the mouth of a bowl!
The young man closed his eyes and let his chest rise and fall violently, as if he was craving for the last few breaths of blood-smelling air in this world. In front of his eyes, the red-haired girl who did not know where she was now appeared again.
The girl nodded her feet, walked up to the boy playfully, and smiled...
"Ning Yue, I'm sorry——"
A few indistinguishable syllables were mumbled out of Qi Ziyin's throat. However, just when he had given up on surviving, he suddenly felt a pair of strong hands lifting him up from the ground:
"Young Master Ziyin, don't sleep! Everyone is waiting for you on the boat!"
The young man vaguely recognized the voice of Mo Chen. He tried his best to open his heavy eyelids and saw that the man was carrying an iron cooking pot that he picked up from somewhere behind his back. He actually turned back to rescue himself!
The massive blood loss made the young man in white unable to think. He just relied on the will to survive that surged in his heart, and with the help of the other party, he instinctively opened his legs and rushed towards the cliff bank!
When Qi Ziyin woke up, he was already lying in the warship that was bumping up and down in the waves, his face and body covered with fine cloth. The last scene that he could recall in his mind at this moment was that he was with Mo Chen in Qingwan
He jumped hard from the edge of the cliff, and saw the sea water rushing towards him like a huge ink-colored wall, completely swallowing him up.
"I'm still alive?"
Qi Ziyin moved slightly, and immediately felt a burst of cramping pain in his cheek and abdomen.
Leng Jiayun heard the commotion and immediately ran from the next door to the young man's bed, her long eyelashes stained with tears of joy:
"You brat, you were injured so badly this time that Sister Jia thought you would never wake up again... Fortunately, among the islanders you rescued, there were doctors who were proficient in medicine, so they were able to remove half of the pill from your abdomen.
Projectile, and the wound was sutured..."
The woman seemed to want to smile back at Qi Ziyin, but she couldn't.
Qi Ziyin felt the bitterness on the other person's face, and immediately asked vaguely: "How are the others?"
"Thanks to you, including Zeming, a total of 143 people were rescued and all boarded the ship smoothly." The woman in purple gently rubbed the back of the young man's hand.
"What about the islanders who came with me to rescue people?"
When asked about this, Leng Jiayun couldn't help but lower his eyes: "Only three generals survived... It's all thanks to Mo Chen who figured out how to use iron pots to resist firebolts. If not, now
I’m afraid I can’t even save you…”
The young man couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart - although he couldn't even name all the islanders who had fought side by side, the faces of the men who volunteered could still be seen vividly in his mind. If he hadn't persisted, those people might now be
Then they could reunite with their families on the ship. Among them, there were even some young people who had not yet started a family and started a career. But because of their own reasons, they left their lives on that isolated island in the sea forever.
Qi Ziyin suddenly raised his hands to cover his chest and gasped violently. He felt as if a huge weight had fallen on his heart, weighing him down so much that he couldn't breathe.
Seeing the young man's appearance, the Dongli woman already guessed what he was thinking, and softly advised:
"Zi Yin, even if Baili is still here today, he may not be able to do better than you. A general must understand that there must be sacrifices in the battle between two armies. As long as the sacrifice is for the sake of righteousness, more can be obtained.
The survival of innocent people is not in vain. And those deceased islanders are just like you - they are all heroes!"
The young man's shoulders were still shaking slightly, and he looked into the woman's eyes and nodded. However, Leng Jiayun clearly knew the character of the boy in front of him, and knew that he would still attribute all the losses in this rescue to himself.
.And this pain cannot be relieved by just a few words.
After all, this child with a delicate mind is far more complicated and stubborn than the woman imagined. But the current situation made her not know what to say for a while. After thinking for a moment, she could only say softly
He touched the other person's forehead and changed the topic:
"Let's not talk about these sad things for now. Although we have escaped temporarily, there are still many things that need to be done right now. Everyone must cheer up! If Ziyin can move, please follow me to the deck. Everyone
Waiting for you."
"What are you waiting for me to do?"
Qi Ziyin felt depressed and wanted to go up to the deck to get some air. Hearing the woman's suggestion, he immediately nodded and put on the white clothes that still had some blood stains on them. He endured the pain of the wound and stopped three steps with the help of the other party.
Exited the cabin.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped onto the deck, he saw that the islanders who were sitting together in twos and threes all stood up in unison, and then gathered around him, cheering like thunder!
From the eyes of the islanders, the young man could clearly feel the overflowing gratitude. Many people even knelt down in front of the young man, weeping and sobbing.
"Kid, you saved these people's lives!"
Fan Zhen walked up to the young man at some point, patted his shoulder, and pointed to the towering general platform on the stern of the ship, "From today on, this ship and all the sailors on it,
Always at your disposal!"
"I-how can I be so virtuous-"
The somewhat flattered young man in white wanted to refuse at first, but after a moment he saw that he could not refuse, so he had to solemnly nod his head and agreed. At this moment, he suddenly understood that after this battle, he was no longer just one of the many islanders on the ship.
As a member of the team, it has become a flag that supports them to move forward and a spiritual pillar for the whole ship. Every decision I make and every word I say will have a profound impact on them.
Everyone.
Now that he has left Qingwan, the fate of everyone is firmly tied to the lonely ship under his feet. If these islanders choose him, then he has nothing to hesitate about.
If you do it, you will have no hesitation!
After all, Xiang Baili's last wish has now become a responsibility that the young man has to shoulder.
With the support of Fan Zhen and Leng Jiayun, Qi Ziyin slowly climbed onto the platform. As the sailors shouted one after another, a huge sail with a beluga painted on it raised in the wind. He raised his head and looked at the ship.
With the endless Chanying Sea as far as the eye can see, he suddenly raised his hand and tightly grasped the iron steering wheel in front of him!
