Chapter 149 No.20 Scene [-]
"Crescent Bay has fallen! Crescent Bay has fallen!"

A bloodied islander staggered into the settlement on the cliff along the path leading to the port, repeating desperate news loudly.After that, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell down straight in front of a stone tablet standing on the side of the road, dying.

That man had already been seriously injured in the melee with the murlocs under the cliff, and there were several huge blood holes on his back that made people dare not look directly at them.And on the stele where he fell, there are eight big characters neatly written in red lacquer:

Guard my homeland, guard my clan.

This stele was erected by Xiang Baili himself after he recovered Qingwan.However, times have changed, and the fortifications carefully arranged and built in Crescent Bay for more than [-] years were completely captured in just over half an hour.And the descendants of the five thousand elite soldiers who followed the general to the island back then had to use their flesh and blood again to resist the army of murlocs who sneaked in.

Qi Ziyin looked at the dead man lying on the ground, and vaguely felt that Leng Jiayun's hands on his shoulders were tightening, and even his body trembled slightly involuntarily. He quickly opened his mouth to comfort him, and then raised his eyes to look behind him Looking at the end of a winding path, his eyes are full of hope.

Half an hour ago, Fan Zhen led a group of islanders along the path to the top of the mountain for preparations.There, there are hidden granite boulders that have been excavated from various places on the island by the islanders for more than [-] years, weighing hundreds of kilograms.Right now, these boulders are the last barrier that everyone hopes for.

The boulder is fixed on a specially built steep slope with a log of wooden pins and thick ropes.Once all the pins are removed, the stones will rush down from the hillsides on both sides in an instant, completely blocking the road leading to Crescent Bay.And all living creatures that dare to appear in front of it will also be crushed into a mass of flesh and blood, leaving no bones left.

Back then, Xiang Baili specially set up these boulders precisely because this was the only way to lead from the Crescent Bay in the belly of the island to the high settlements.Once the boulder falls, it is not a matter of overnight to dig it up by manpower.And if this road is closed, the whole Qingwan will also become a dead zone surrounded by cliffs, without water and food.

However, due to the poor visibility on the slope where the boulders were piled up, Leng Jiayun decided to let her and Qi Ziyin lead dozens of people to set up an ambush at the intersection after learning that Crescent Bay was lost, and try to use the terrain to hold back the attack murloc army.And Fan Zhen waited for their signal at a high place, and released the boulder at the most suitable time to strangle the enemy.

As the shouts of killing in the distance gradually subsided, the boy in white finally waited for Fan Zhen's ready whistle.Not long after, the murloc pioneer holding a firebolt really appeared in everyone's sight.

Qi Ziyin clenched the Yin Ya in his hand a little more, as if he was praying for Xiang Baili's spirit in the sky to bless him and the fighters around him to be victorious.Immediately, he jumped out suddenly, swung the two knives in his hand and slashed at the enemy.

Yinya was extremely sharp, the young man only felt that the blade was slightly hindered, and he easily severed the neck bone of a murloc with a little more force.Sticky blood gushed out from the wound, immediately dyeing Qi Ziyin's white clothes crimson.However, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and with the strength of his waist and abdomen, he raised the weapon in his hand, and chopped down the enemy soldiers who kept bullying him one after another.

"kill!"

Following Leng Jiayun's angry shout, the ambushing islanders rushed out one after another, forcing the murlocs who drove straight in to start a hand-to-hand combat on the narrow mountain road.

After all, Qi Ziyin and the others had the upper hand. In the blink of an eye, all the murloc pioneers were killed, and only a few wounded soldiers fled with their heads in their arms.Qi Ziyin immediately gave the order to retreat, but the islanders who were already red-eyed were dazzled by the short-term victory in front of them, and they all brandished their weapons and chased after them, refusing to leave just then.

"Don't love to fight, go!"

Qi Ziyin roared loudly, turned around and stretched out his hand to pull the person beside him, but it was still a step too late.Just now, the other murlocs more than a hundred paces away had already lined up.He watched helplessly as Fang Ping raised the fire bolt gun, and a dazzling flame burst out from the black hole mouth!Before the wounded murlocs could escape back to the formation, the enemy army launched a salvo!
Amidst the loud noises one after another, both the murlocs and the islanders fell down one after another like trees that had been sawn down.The white-clothed boy instinctively pulled Leng Jiayun beside him and rolled on the ground, and then pulled a headless corpse from the ground to block in front of him, so that he was not hit by the projectile.Taking advantage of the short gap between the opponent's two volleys, the two quickly got up and fled towards the dense forest higher up.

"Sister Jia, send a signal to Brother Fan, before it's too late!"

Under Qi Ziyin's reminder, the woman from Dongli, who had just walked before the gate of hell, finally came to her senses, reached into her bosom and took out a pocket-sized fireworks, lit the fuse and held it high above her head.The fireworks rushed straight into the sky above the dark cloud-covered cliff with a sharp whistle, like a shooting star across the sky.

At the same time, the team of murlocs behind the two had also finished loading the firebolt guns in their hands, and launched a second round of salvo.Accompanied by a loud noise like thunder, Qi Ziyin only felt an irresistible strong force coming from his left shoulder, pushing himself forward suddenly, no matter how difficult it was to maintain the balance between his steps, he staggered a few steps and then fell firmly. fell to the ground.

At the same time, there was a loud noise like thunder on the hillside.The young man struggled to look back, only to see smoke and dust billowing from the high ridge, it was the boulder that Fan Zhen had dropped that knocked down trees of all sizes along the way, engulfed a large amount of soil and gravel, and rushed toward the murloc formation overwhelmingly.

Seeing this situation, the murloc team that was about to advance suddenly panicked, huddled together and retreated in the direction they came from!
"Ziyin be careful!"

Hearing the exclamation of the woman beside him, the young man who fell to the ground was dragged aside by her.The dust flying all over the sky rushed towards their faces, and soon completely submerged the two of them.All they could hear in their ears was the rumble of falling boulders and the heart-piercing wailing of the murlocs...

It wasn't until the surroundings returned to silence and the dust settled again that Qi Ziyin was able to open his eyes, only to see a huge boulder half the size of a room stopped only half a foot away from him.There were some messy fragments of firebolts pressed under the stone, and half of the murloc's arm was bloody and almost turned into flesh.

The young man in white was extremely grateful that Leng Jiayun dragged herself away before, and was able to recover her life just now.He rubbed his eyes fascinated by the dust, looked at the large and small stones piled up like a city wall on the mountain road, and murmured in disbelief:

"Did we succeed?!"

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky above his head, but no thunder was heard!

The bolt of lightning struck directly on the pile of rocks in front of the young man, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.A second thunderbolt followed, and a third thunderbolt fell.But what's strange is that the several electric lights actually hit the same position accurately, without even the slightest deviation!

The woman in purple realized that something was wrong, so she helped Qi Ziyin beside her and tried to hide behind.At the same time, the last bolt of lightning fell and spread along the cracks in the granite boulder.Suddenly, there was a loud noise between the stones, and then a white flame burst out!

The flames became brighter and brighter, piercing so hard that people couldn't even open their eyes.No one could have imagined that the extremely hard granite boulder would gradually crack under the continuous burning of the fire, and then turn into a pile of dust as fine as sand!

A tall and thin figure in a cloak also stepped out of the white light.Behind him is an army of tens of thousands of people marching in line like a school of migrating fish!

The visitor waved the long sleeves of the gorgeous gown, and pointed two fingers at Qingwan City, which was no longer safe to defend:
"Thinking that just a few stubborn rocks can stop our clan's progress? Send an order from me to kill all these people on land, leaving no one behind! Back to base camp on land!"

"... Hurry up, gather everyone to the east cliff and wait for me!"

Half an hour after the murlocs entered the settlement, Fan Zhen, who turned back from the top of the mountain, found Qi Ziyin and Leng Jiayun among the defeated islanders.And not far behind everyone, the alien army had already defeated their last line of defense, drove straight in, and wantonly massacred everyone they met along the way!
"Are you crazy? You plan to lead everyone to a dead end! Do you know that there is no grass growing on the cliff to the east, and there is nowhere to hide. If the crowd gathers there, they will be caught by the murlocs, and they will never be able to continue." Turn around!"

The woman in purple shook her head vigorously, and then wanted to take the few islanders beside her personally.

Fan Zhen directly stopped her: "The matter has come to this, how can we deal with it? Ms. Leng must be very clear in her heart that Qingwan will never be able to hold it! Fortunately, those murlocs didn't park me outside Crescent Bay I have dispatched a team of men to bypass their main force and quietly drive the ship to the water cave under the cliff to the east as a response. Now we only need to escort the islanders from the cliff Climb down, you can board the boat and leave, so it is the best policy!"

"Do you want to run away like this? No, I will never agree! This island was taken from these murlocs with great difficulty, and it has been managed hard until today. He said that this is our common home. , since it is home, how can you give up so easily! Fan Zhen, your father was also one of the five thousand elite soldiers who accompanied Baili to the island back then. You should understand that no one can determine the outcome until the last moment reason!"

"Miss Leng, of course I know the creed of my fathers. But those who followed General Baili to seize the island were a well-trained and forbidden army. But now? Right now we are just a group of farmers, a group of fishermen A group of women and children! General Baili did say that Qingwan is our common homeland. But as long as everyone can survive and not be bullied by the rich and powerful, any place in this world can be called Qingwan, and any place in the world can be called Qingwan. The place of home!"

Fan Zhen's words made Leng Jiayun suddenly startled.She turned her head away, unwilling to look into the rational and sincere eyes of the other party, as if she wanted to find some more reasons to keep going.

However, big tears poured out of the woman's eyes uncontrollably.During the three years since she was on the island, Xiang Baili's figure was always floating in front of her eyes.And the island full of memories under her feet seemed to be the only place in the world where she could feel comfort.However, Fan Zhen's words were like enlightenment, and Leng Jiayun suddenly came to his senses——

Today, Xiang Baili is no longer a person, nor a name, nor a code name, but represents the ideals of all the islanders in Qingwan.He is a torch, an embodiment, a light that can never be replaced.And as long as the islanders he has been thinking about can continue to live forever, he will live in this world and people's hearts forever!

After a long silence, the woman from Dongli finally nodded and ordered someone to pass on the order:
"Let everyone hurry up and gather in front of the cliff on East Island. When the boat comes out of the water hole, we will leave here together, and leave together alive!"

Once the hope of life is ignited, it will take root and sprout in people's hearts like a weed, and it will never be obliterated.The crowd that had been dispersed gradually regrouped around the woman and the young man, and the young and strong man spontaneously used the stone city behind him, which had endured thousands of years of wind and frost, to hold back the murlocs' pursuit and cover the old man behind him. Weak women and children were evacuated.

Finally, a gigantic black warship appeared in the sea below the cliff, it was the ship Fan Zhen had mentioned!The crowd who were looking forward to it on the top of the cliff cheered loudly, and set off to rush to the edge of the cliff one after another.

"Ziyin, you lead the islanders to board the boat first, don't stay here any longer."

Leng Jiayun pulled Qi Ziyin who was still looking out at the Qingwan City, which was still shouting and killing, and motioned for him to go first, while she stayed behind.But the boy in white refused to agree:
"No, we can't go yet! Brother Zeming is still behind and can't keep up! If he is surrounded by those murlocs, he will have to wait to be slaughtered! I will bring some people back to meet him!"

As the boy said, he stood on tiptoe and looked towards the burning stone city behind him - just now on the road, they encountered a group of islanders who were trapped by the fire, and Mo Zeming immediately ordered Mo Chen to help.However, there were so many people running around, and the silver-haired boy and his party quickly disappeared under the hustle and bustle.

"I disagree. You are the least adventurous person on this island right now!" Leng Jiayun immediately objected.

"Brother Fan's boat has room for two to 300 people, but there are only over a hundred islanders who have successfully reached the edge of the cliff. Is it possible to just let the others go?"

Qi Ziyin wanted to continue arguing, but before he finished speaking, the surrounding islanders expressed their opinions one after another:

"According to me, let's go while we can. That silver-haired brat is already weak, and now it is estimated that it will be more dangerous. If it is delayed for a while, I am afraid that even we will die and leave alive." Already!"

"But that silver-haired kid is a friend of Mr. Qi and Ms. Leng, and he has saved everyone's lives more than once. Are we going to repay them like this?"

"If we turn back right now, Bao Buqi will confront those murlocs head-on. We are no match at all!"

For a while, the already noisy cliff became more and more chaotic.

"Everyone, just listen to me! When I saw brother Zeming just now, there were many old and weak women and children with him. Among these people, there may be someone's wife, daughter, or old parents! The fathers of many people on the island are heroes who fought with General Baili. The general once said that those who wear armor and hold swords should take it as their duty to help the weak and help the world. Although you are not from the army today, who You all have parents, wives and children! Do you still hesitate at all when you put yourself in front of others?"

Qi Ziyin's tone was not forceful at all, but it instantly made the objections disappear instantly.Among the islanders, some even volunteered to go back with them to save people.In just a moment, the white-clothed boy had gathered a team of more than [-] people. Most of the weapons in their hands were old weapons with stains and spots of rust, but everyone's eyes changed from the previous one. The despair of self-protection glows with a shining and fearless light.
