In Fang Plover's field of vision, sailboats far and near hoisted their sails one by one, white, blue or black. The huge sails were rolled down from the beams, and the masts were hanging from each other.
The triangle sail is hung with diagonal stay ropes, and it looks like a gorgeous feather wing from a distance.
He was leaning against the side wall of the ship. This was a typical baggage sailing ship. It specifically refers to a sailing ship with a mainsail and a mizzen sail. In the last century or two,
It has gradually become the mainstream of Aitaria's ocean-going sailboats.
This ship is much larger than the Seven Sea Traveler. It is a truly large ocean-going sailing ship. The Seven Sea Traveler is like a toy in front of it, and it will appear a bit compact.
There are also experienced sailors on board the ship, who are busy and methodically putting the ship into its final state before it can leave port.
These sailors may come from Silver Vislan, Silver Forest Spear and major guilds. Half of them are aborigines employed by Chosen, and the other half are Chosen - trained Chosen in life professions.
Much better trained than real sailors - just training a Chosen One like this is worth a lot of money.
The Seven Seas Traveler is highly automated, and this is the first time Fang Plover has seen such a scene. When the boatswain rang the ship's bell, there were crews at every position on the beam, on the net ropes, and on the observation deck.
The captain was on duty with his team, and it seemed like there were people everywhere on the ship.
This ship - named 'Brig Breaker', is the property of the Star and Moon Council. Among the three sailboats of the Star and Moon Tower Warlocks, only this one is a full-sail wing-type floating ship.
The ships, Argent Vislan and Silver Forest Spear gathered all the best and most experienced sailors here.
Just because it is the flagship, the lady will lead everyone through the passage under the cloud later. The most arduous task and safety of the entire fleet are tied to this ship, and nothing can go wrong.
On the contrary, once there is no problem with the leading ship, it will not be difficult for the fleet to pass through the Yunxia Passage.
However, in comparison, Fang Plover still prefers his own ship. The Seven Seas Traveler is a little smaller, but it has the warmth of home. It seems like a peaceful harbor. Although it is drifting in the empty sea, there is nothing in the harbor
But it's always calm.
He was watching a group of people walking onto the ship via the gangway between the ship's side and the trestle. Among them was a female knight wearing a silver rose-carved armor who was very conspicuous. She couldn't help but jump up in surprise:
"Miss Bai Xue, why are you here?"
Fang Yu didn't know how he had offended the other party. This lady knight always treated him with cold words. To be honest, he was a little afraid of dealing with the other party.
"This is the flagship," Bai Xue frowned, "I am still nominally the commander of this fleet. Mr. Ed, where do you think I should go?"
"..."
Fang Yu was speechless for a while, and he almost forgot about this incident.
Bai Xue glanced at him: "I brought some people to see you."
Only then did Fang Yu see a young man with a worried face walking onto the boat behind Bai Xue. When the other party saw him, he was slightly surprised: "Ah, it's you..."
Miner Cole had a look of remorse on his face: "I should have trusted you, Mr. Ed. I didn't expect that the Crow's Claw Temple would be like this."
"They captured Uncle Walid, my sister, my mother and others, and also killed little Merce...I don't know how little Mercy is doing now..."
The young man became more and more sad as he talked, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
Fang Yu looked at the other party silently, not knowing how to persuade him.
In fact, his predicament has something to do with them, but even if all this had not happened, the ending of Gula Port would not be better than it is now.
Cole has obviously recognized all this, but that's why he appears painful and desperate.
"Big brother……"
A small voice came from the side. Fang Plover heard the voice sounded familiar, so he couldn't help but look in that direction, and then he was startled.
He recognized the little boy, who he had rescued from Basalt not long ago. As soon as he saw him, he couldn't help but think of his respectable mother, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Have you found your mother?" Fang Yu squatted down and asked in a soft voice.
The little boy shook his head with red eyes.
Fang Yu was silent in his heart, knowing that there was more danger than good. Otherwise, the lady would not have been so decisive at that time.
He reached out and touched the little boy's hair, and said softly: "Don't worry, it will pass. You go down there first, there may be a fight later. But don't worry, everyone here will take good care of you.
"
Although the little boy looked confused, he still nodded.
"Brother Ed is so gentle."
Tianlan stood far away and whispered to the friends next to her.
Beside her, Jita and Ai Xiaoxiao nodded together, but the latter nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, while Miss Naturalist's face was a little red.
"Gula Port is no longer safe now. We evacuated everyone. The man you introduced wanted to save his mother, sister and friends, but letting him leave was equivalent to letting him die, so he was also
"Bring him here," Bai Xue said, "That little boy was rescued by our people from near the square. Thanks to your live broadcast, our people found him. You haven't fulfilled your promise to that lady yet."
Bar?"
Fang Yu silently watched the others take them off the deck, then turned back and took a serious look at the knight lady, and his view of her changed again:
"thank you all."
Bai Xue shook her head, "Taking them away from Gula is just a temporary measure. There are still many such people in Gula Port. We can't save everyone. Besides, I am neither just nor kind. Unlike your Highness the Princess,
I’ll just do what I can.”
She glanced at Fang Yu: "The hopes of these people are pinned on you. If you can lead us to find and destroy one of the anchor points, then the fate of these people and the entire northern territory will change. But if not,
Their final result is no different from the people staying in Gula at this moment——"
Every face he had seen in Gray Owl Town, full of confusion and fear about the future, flashed through his mind one by one.
He was thinking about what the Chosen had brought to the world. It might not be better, but it should not be worse.
He believed that civilization would really learn from history.
But the truth is exactly the opposite...
Since the era of the Star Gate, the so-called "sacred mission" of the chosen ones may be just a propaganda. Today is no different from the past - it just has an intoxicating coat - yesterday's sword, today's
Use lies.
The aura of awe-inspiring righteousness only conceals the overwhelming greed and desire for possession.
For thousands of years, perhaps civilization has never defeated barbarism.
What is the significance of the existence of Star Gate?
Is it just a window to divert conflicts, greed and evil?
Or is it, as some people claim - a gift given to his chosen people by a great, omniscient and omnipotent being?
But it is more like a sweet poison than a gift. The Stargate brings peace and prosperity, but it is better said to divert temporary disputes.
But the contradiction and hatred have never been resolved, it has only been shaped into a more complicated appearance. The fire buried deep in the heart is just waiting for an opportunity, and instantly turns into a catastrophic fire that burns everything.
There will always be a moment when the pus-filled sores will reveal their scars. All actions will eventually come with a price. Those rotten and ugly things cannot always be immersed in illusions.
Fang Plover has already seen the maggots and blood-sucking flies that are eager to move under the wound. One day, they will swarm out with an overflowing stench.
The last time, the fire that swept the world burned up dying Europe and completely reshaped their civilization in the following two centuries.
And this time, who will it burn to?
A corner of that scar has been revealed in the North, but its impact may go far beyond that. He can choose to watch - but when the day of judgment comes, who can stay away?
Stargate is like a calm spectator, only watching all this happen, not stopping it, but also not adding fuel to the fire.
Is history just a reincarnation?
But Fang Plover is more willing to believe in mankind's description of itself in that golden age, that mankind can get out of the spiral of history and overcome its own destiny forever.
Their footprints can go beyond the solar system and go deeper into the starry sky, but how can they not break free from the shackles of the past era? Ignorance will eventually become a thing of the past, and what civilization will crush is just its own shackles——
Everything now may be just a dream, but everything in the past is real. Some people take advantage of the goodwill in people's hearts, but that at least shows that goodwill exists.
The starry sky will witness everything.
Fang Plover raised his head and nodded to Bai Xue.
Bai Xue was slightly surprised when she saw his appearance. Some people do not lack recklessness, but that is not true courage. Most people are afraid of taking responsibility, because the direction of the human heart is like an invisible hand, it will rise high
I will lift you up, but I will also drop you heavily. You will be on the top of the clouds, or you will be in the abyss.
People cherish their white feathers, so they stay away from this quagmire. They are not afraid of sweet words, but they are afraid of the price behind them.
Because at the next moment you may become a hero, but you may also become a sinner, but as long as you really take this step, you will have a belief and strength that is different from others.
That's real power.
Every next generation guild successor who is trained like her will be taught this truth, but how many people can actually do it?
Among their generation, perhaps only Her Royal Highness the Princess has such courage. Although Bai Xue doesn't want to admit it, she can at least look at this objectively.
But even if it was the other party, would he dare to take on the current responsibility?
Bai Xue belittled her opponent a little in her heart.
"...No wonder he came to this place right now and single-handedly entered the Tower of Star and Moon to reveal the evidence of the Crow's Claw Temple."
And if it were him, he might not have the courage, Bai Xue thought, a hint of appreciation and envy flashed through his heart.
That was exactly what she had always wanted to show off, but couldn't really get. If the other party was in Silver Wisland, there would definitely be nothing wrong with the little princess.
President Chen Xi will definitely take him seriously.
Bai Xue didn't know that her president had indeed had this idea, but Fang Yu didn't accept it. She said quietly: "It seems that you plan to be a hero..."
"ah?"
"Don't worry, I'm not mocking you. On the contrary, Silver Veslan and Silver Forest Spear will try their best to cooperate with you."
Fang Yu scratched his head in embarrassment. He also had that boy's fantasy of not having a hero: "...that, thank you."
"You're welcome, being a hero's companion is a very advantageous thing, because we will share your glory equally," Bai Xue replied very calmly: "But the ugly words are ahead. If you fail, the blame will be yours.
It has nothing to do with us.”
Fang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that this knight lady was really realistic. If Sophie were here, she would definitely carry it with him.
"Are you thinking that Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be as unkind as me? She will never let her friends fight alone, and will definitely stand with you, right?" Bai Xue suddenly said.
"Ah...ah?"
Fang Yu was shocked. Is his idea so obvious?
"Humph," Bai Xue snorted coldly: "But you are right. Of course she and I are different. I am not as well-intentioned as she is. Everyone must learn to shoulder their own responsibilities, and there is no way to want benefits at the same time.
A good thing but not willing to take risks?”
The bitter smile on Fang Yu's face became more and more obvious, and he finally understood where he had offended the other party.
But he didn't want any benefits.
It's just that doing such a thing makes him feel very satisfied.
Everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade supports his decision. This is what he cherishes most. An excellent team is not how strong it is.
It's just that everyone in this group can carry each other's ideals and beliefs.
…
The ship made a long whistle sound to notify others that it was preparing to weigh anchor——
Generally speaking, when sailboats leave the harbor, they need a guide boat to clear the way in front and help them adjust their direction in the narrow harbor.
But with dozens of ships leaving the port at the same time, they obviously did not have this time, and the current situation did not allow for such an orderly manner. So the major guilds roughly divided the ships leaving the port into three batches, and let them leave the port one after another. Of course, in between
It was inevitable that there would be some bumps and bumps, but under the shrewd planning of a certain ship officer and the cooperation of dozens of experienced and experienced captains, there were no major problems.
Although she was the daughter of Mawei-Albert, the greatest navigator that Corin-Ithurion had ever known.
And there are quite a lot of rumors about this young lady outside. Some say that she studied on her father's ship when she was very young. It is said that under the influence of her father, this young lady has the ability to be the most outstanding navigator.
But there are always some distortions in the rumors. Besides, she has been banned for many years. Who knows if this young lady really has that ability?
Things like tiger father and dog son also happen from time to time.
Therefore, even those old captains who were familiar with the name Mawei-Albert still had doubts about this young lady before they really showed their skills.
But now, there are no doubts anymore. Planning a route in the port and moving so many ships in the shortest possible time is a delicate job, and ordinary captains may not be able to do it.
After all, most people know their own ships well, but they are unable to make overall plans. That is the level of ship owners and fleet commanders.
Under the command of Sylvide, the first batch of boats to leave the harbor were small boats. After they left the harbor, they anchored outside and waited to join the large army.
The second step is to requisition the ships of major chambers of commerce. There are a large number of these armed merchant ships. They do not leave the port, and it is difficult for real large ships to sail out together.
But they are not fast and their steering is slow. If the small boats are not moved out first to clear the channel, it is impossible to sail these ships out of the port in a short time.
When the armed merchant ships left the port in an orderly manner, the major guilds actually began to evacuate the outer defense lines, and the first group of people to evacuate had actually returned to the ship.
Just the inward movement of the defense line meant that the pursuers also appeared on the pier.
Xiayue and the free-chosen ones were the second group to enter the defense line. Originally, the people from Silver Veslan and Silver Forest Spear wanted them to evacuate first:
"You who are freely chosen will get on the ship first. You don't have a unified command. You may not have time to evacuate later. The defense line here will be left to us."
That's what the commander of Silver Vislan said.
However, Xia Yue rejected the opponent directly. He is a member of the descendants of Flor and has not been reduced to the point of relying on the Rainbow Alliance. Moreover, the free electors also supported him. They did not want these big guilds to
people look down upon it.
This was the first time that Xia Yue felt that these freely chosen people were actually quite good.
The Free Chosen think that the people of the Grand Guild are arrogant and domineering, but the people of the Grand Guild think that the Free Chosen are free and loose, and both sides look down on each other.
But Xia Yue didn't know if he was lucky or if it was some other factor. The people he met were quite to his liking. They were as proud and honorable as them, and their performance in battle was pretty good.
Of course, they are not as good as the members of their elite group, but the performance of the descendants of Flor in the current plan is really not worth mentioning.
He was embarrassed to mention that he was a descendant of Flor.
The commander of Silver Vislan did not embarrass them, and directly assigned a section of the defense line to them, and they did not let the other side down, and have been holding on until now.
At this moment, the other party's voice came from the communication crystal again:
"Xia Yue, Bing Shan, all of us are ready to evacuate. You should withdraw into the defense line immediately. Everyone leave, don't leave anyone behind."
"Other people will come to hand over the defense line to you. They are responsible for breaking up the defense."
Bingfeng was the ID of the leading Free Caller. This time Xia Yue didn't say anything. He knew that with their little strength, they were not worthy of cutting off the queen. Cutting off the queen was a technical job and not just anyone could do it.
He only waved to the other party: "Flee."
Then the entire defense line immediately began to retreat. Bingshan counted his men and found that there were two missing. He asked again in the communication channel and found the opponent from a nearby building.
The Free Team has this problem. If they were an elite group of descendants of Flor, they would not be able to retreat with so few people if they followed the rules and regulations.
Everyone retreated into the trestle along the direction of Pier 7, but only halfway there, they suddenly saw a flash of light and shadow flashing on the passage in front of them.
Those lights and shadows are intertwined and flowing, like a purple flame of nothingness, turning into reality in front of everyone.
"Shadow Man!"
Xia Yue heard Bing Shan shout beside her: "Why is there a shadow man here!?"
"They are everywhere," others also exclaimed: "They are coming from all directions, and we are surrounded!"
