Alien world

Chapter 977 Chapter 208. Blood debt paid with blood

Ize Bay.

Ize Bay, which was under the control of the Free Blade, imposed a curfew. The musketeers patrolled the streets and blocked the last way out for the nobles and wealthy merchants.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Gregory, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

"Who!"

He sat up sleepily and listened attentively for a while. It seemed like there was a lot of chaos outside... What happened again?
Grigori tried to put on his shoes, but ended up putting his feet into the freezing cold water.

"what happened!?"

He screamed and retracted his feet, then endured the cold water and opened the door. The screams, shouts and sounds of running water outside suddenly became clearer.

At the end of the street, a huge wave was roaring towards them, flooding the doors and windows, carrying debris and struggling people.

"Oh...damn..."

Gregory thought he was going to die in the flood. At this moment, countless black shadows covered the night sky.

They spread their black wings and used their sharp claws to grab street dwellers and lift them off the ground.

Grigori raised his head, and his ferocious bat face with thin and sharp fangs was more beautiful than the noble lady he had seen by chance a few years ago.

Grigori and the other people who were rescued by the giant bat were thrown into the mountains outside of Ize Bay. The terrain here is very high, so there is no need to worry about flooding. The Free Blade and the Legion had already evacuated here in advance.

Crime always breeds from chaos, so the people of Liberty City patrol repeatedly, asking the identity of everyone rescued by vampires.

"name."

"Grigori."

The registered member looked up to confirm that he was looking at a human and not an orc.

"Father said there are too many people named Gerry." Gerry, who was already used to it, said quickly.

After registering his identity, Grigori consciously walked into the group of refugees. A group of Freeblades surrounded an orc nearby. When Grigori thought the battle was about to start, they suddenly lifted the orc high up, not quite throwing it.

Grigori looked on in a daze. The chieftain and shaman of the orc tribe also couldn't understand it.

The reason is simple, the Howler saved everyone - or it can be said that Annan saved everyone.

When the floodwaters rushed along the Mam River, it was exactly the portal time at midnight.

Annan and the Howler were the first to discover the coming of the flood, moved all the orcs together, and then notified Yize Bay and surrounding towns to take refuge.

This meant that when the flood reached Ize Bay, most of the residents were evacuated to Free City and the mountains, causing far fewer casualties than expected.

Grigori was both unlucky and lucky. He slept so soundly that he missed the door-to-door evacuation notice, and was rescued by a vampire when the flood came.

Fermi and Little Smo stood not far away and looked at this side. Little Smo whispered: "Commander, this flood is not right..."

There has never been a flood in the North...at least Little Smo has never seen one, and this is winter, not the rainy season, so how could there be a flood?

"Someone wants to destroy Ize Bay." Femi's empty sleeves fluttered in the night breeze.

"You mean it was the Kingdom of Rekanel who did this?"

"Who else could it be besides them?"

Little Smooth opened his mouth and was about to speak when a heart-wrenching roar cut through the night sky.

"No! No!!!" Claude screamed in pain.

"What's up with him?"

The people nearby whispered.

The registered Free Blade had a complicated expression. He was the only one of the rescued Kingdom soldiers who had such a reaction... So either his faith collapsed, or his relatives died in the flood. Just as the Free Blade members guessed, Claude returned to the refugee group in despair after learning that the flood came from the upper reaches of the Mam River. He fell to the ground and took out the notebook in his pocket after a while. He wrote a letter by the campfire that could never be sent out.

[To my beloved, Yanes:

Floods engulfed Ize Bay.

I lost my status, my comrades, everything, and... you.

I don’t know what I am holding on to, and what’s the point of me writing these... Changhu Town is gone, and so is you. Is there any need for me to continue living after losing my faith and my love?

I heard the encouragement of the Freeblades, they were there for those desperate people who had lost their homes... I was wrong, you were right, the Kingdom is not worth our lives, we are just consumables that it can sacrifice for its goals.

My lady, do you hear them? They are singing...

They are singing that everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, listening to stories that are too beautiful to be true, and saying that revenge is the most sacred emotion in the world.

I know what I am going to do, my lady, I will pay for your debt with blood!
Saint Laurent, October 1001, , Claude

……

The next day, the peak of the flood had passed.

However, the Ize Bay still had nearly two meters of water. The survivors continued to stay in the mountains, waiting for the flood to recede...they thought it would.

In the evening, a cold wave arrived from the north, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Even the flames of the campfire became cold, and the people who were warming themselves by the fire could not get any warmth.

As the snowflakes fell, the entire Ize Bay turned into a white world, and the pure snowflakes covered all the sins and sorrows.

The angry snowfall by the Ice and Snow Goddess blocked the mountain. On the fifth day, the scouts outside reported bad news: Yize Bay was frozen.

The scout was a former member of the Salted Fish Gang, and he was a bit dumb in speaking.

He couldn't explain it clearly, so Little Small simply took some people and prepared to go to the city to take a look.

They were stopped by a group of locals as they were going down the mountain.

"Lord Freeblade!"

"My identity is the executive officer of Free Blade." Little Small corrected.

"Master Executor, can you take us to the city..."

They are the people whose families are still in Yize Bay and they didn't have time to escape or be rescued.

"If you want to come, just follow me." Little Small said after a brief silence.

The team, which originally consisted of only a dozen people, grew larger and larger, and by the time they reached the foot of the mountain, they had become a huge team of hundreds of people.

They walked on the muddy, sandy, and bubbly snow on the glacier, passed through the city gate, and saw the Yize Bay covered with snow.

The crowd unconsciously separated and went to look for things they were familiar with.

"what!"

Suddenly some people screamed and retreated, knocked down by wooden sticks frozen in the ice, and pointed at a piece of ice that had been scraped away from the snow and stammered.

Little Small walked over and saw a blurry pale face in the ice.

Those who didn't have time to escape were frozen in the river, maintaining the same posture as before death.

As we moved forward, we saw more and more of these vague silhouettes frozen in ice.

Little Smoo clenched his fists as he walked between the ice sheets.

"eye for eye……"
