Valkyrie Storm

Chapter 1711 Collapse
"Squeak." The sound of the stone house door opening broke the silence at midnight, and an old figure walked into the dilapidated stone house hesitantly.

Xu Yan sat on the edge of the stone bed, didn't open his eyes, didn't respond, and didn't have the strength to pay attention to it.

Things have come to this point, she is almost numb, and she dare not expect any more hope.

But after waiting for a long time, what was waiting was not scolding and ridicule, not roaring and cursing, but a weak sigh: "My child... Bone Race... I'm sorry..."

Xu Yan's heart moved slightly, and he opened his tired eyes. The person standing in the room turned out to be the acting patriarch Xu Ye, but compared to the majesty and wisdom of the day, he seemed to be much older and tired, which was very obvious. .

"Today's matter, let you see a joke." Xu Ye walked to the corner seat of the stone house, waved the dust on it, and sat down slowly. He was really tired, and even his voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he was also haggard, physically and mentally exhausted.She didn't have much contact with Xu Ye, and she didn't know the purpose of the other party's coming here.But it seems... a little different from other people... Xu Ye didn't dare to look into Xu Yan's eyes. He lowered his eyes and stared blankly at the thick dust on the floor. Under the candlelight, his old figure looked so lonely.

A long time... a long time... "You have been wandering abroad for these years, and you can finally recognize your ancestors and return to your clan. You should have been sheltered, but you have seen the situation of the Bone Race. It is only a few months, so many things have happened, it is God's will ah."

Xu Ye's sighing voice broke the peace in the stone house.

"It has been so many years in a blink of an eye, the Bone Race people below are not aware of the situation, they insist on their pride, but the higher-ups are tired and can't hold on anymore.

All along, some of us old men are well aware that the Bone Race has begun to decline, but they did not expect it to decline to this extent.This disaster actually knocked down the entire Bone Race. "

Xu Yan looked at Xu Ye quietly, and her cold and hard heart was touched a little. She still didn't know the purpose of Xu Ye's coming here, but the other party's sentimental and chatty tone made her feel a little calmer, but she didn't know what to do. say something.

Xu Ye shook his head weakly: "Actually, many years ago, we old guys knew that the Bone Emperor was dead, but we never dared to leak the news. We tried our best to create the illusion that the Bone Emperor was in seclusion. Deliberately revealing the strength of the Bone Race.

But in fact, we panicked in our hearts, for fear of mistakes.

The more aggressive we are on the outside, the more cautious we are in our hearts.

For tens of thousands of years, I have been pretending...pretending... Tired... Really tired... Some old guys complain that the Bone Emperor left without saying goodbye, but is the Bone Emperor willing to leave?Is he willing to abandon the Bone Race that has been struggling for tens of thousands of years?This is his root, if it is not a last resort, might he leave?Unless he has to, can he leave?

I can't imagine the pain of the Bone Emperor before he left, but I understand his choice.He left alone, probably because he wanted to find a chance to recover. One day in the future, he could return to the peak and return to the Bone Race. Even if the Bone Race was ruined by then, his return could revive the Bone Race.Unfortunately, he failed and could not come back. "

Xu Ye seemed to be explaining something, or he seemed to be talking to himself, or he wanted to confide the words that had been suppressed in his heart for too long, so that he was a little out of tune.

He was absent, exhausted, lost in his own thoughts.

"The Bone Race has developed into today's situation. We old guys are all responsible. To put it bluntly, we are all sinners of the Bone Race. But when we confirmed the fall of the Bone Emperor back then, we panicked, really panicked.

The Bone Emperor is gone, leaving behind such a large ethnic group, and in the bloody world of the Lost Battle, any accident may push us into the abyss.

This feeling cannot be experienced by outsiders.

In the first few years, we really don't know how we survived.

Later, after accepting the reality and finding a strategy, we told ourselves that no matter what, we must let the millions of people of the Bone Race survive.We tried our best to maintain the dignity of the Bone Race, and cared for it carefully, for fear of accidents, but we were so careful that... As for ignoring many things, we did many things wrong.

But stumbling and going through dangers, we have persisted for tens of thousands of years, and we have persisted until today.

Right and wrong, who will judge?
As for Zhuan Zhu... well...he is actually very good, we ruined him.

Unlike other ancient races, the Bone Race has no emperor. The strength of the Bone Race is a disguise. It is very fragile and cannot withstand bumps.We valued this child too much, and placed too much hope on him, so that we indulged and spoiled him, for fear that something might go wrong with him, for fear that something unexpected would happen to him.

Even letting them go out to practice is decided by the whole clan meeting, and they secretly send strong men to guard them.

You can say that we did something wrong, but we really can't afford to fail, and we can't bear the death of Zhuanzhu.Because... we can't hold on any longer, Zhuanzhu's hope must rise in the short term to support the Bone Race that is about to collapse.

For a long time, we have tried to remedy it, hoping to change his character, make him more courageous and responsible, and be able to truly take on the heavy responsibility of the rise of the Bone Race. He can be regarded as cooperative, but...God does not give us a chance Yes, the Bone Race has collapsed, we have really reached the edge of the cliff, and half of our feet are already hanging in the air. "

Xu Ye sat silently, staring at the ground absentmindedly, talking incoherently.

But I don't know since when, his hands have been clenched, his eyes are hazy, his voice is vaguely not right, is it hoarse?Still choking?
Xu Yan opened his mouth: "Old Ye..."

Xu Ye took a deep breath, raised his head slowly, looked at the dilapidated roof, and suddenly smiled, his smile was desolate, his eyes dimmed with tears: "Xu Yan... the Bone Race is over... it's over..."

"Don't do this, Mr. Ye." Xu Yan quickly got out of bed.

"The Bone Race is over...it's over..."

Xu Yan wanted to comfort her, but...Xu Ye staggered to his feet, and suddenly knelt down, kneeling straight in front of Xu Yan, tears streaming from his eyes.

This scene shocked Xu Yan, and he was at a loss for a moment.

Xu Ye's emotions seemed to be out of control. He knelt on the ground with tears running down his face. He was laughing, but crying. He seemed to be persisting, but he was already broken.

"The Bone Race is over, it's really over. I've worked hard for tens of thousands of years, but it really can't hold on anymore. It wasn't the Demon Emperor who defeated it, it was us who crippled ourselves.

This scene tonight, let me see its future, it is really dead.

I am ashamed, I am ashamed to the Bone Race, I am ashamed to the Bone Emperor, I am ashamed to these million people.

The moment the patriarch was split by the Demon Emperor, he yelled at me, he said..."

Xu Ye cried like a child, like an ordinary old man, he choked up and trembled: "The patriarch said...he said..."

"Old Ye, don't be like this. If you have something to say, stand up and say it." Xu Yan wanted to pull Xu Ye up, but Xu Ye knelt straight and pushed her hard.

"The patriarch said...he said...Old Ye, promise me... Even if you are kneeling, you must let the Bone Race persist! We can be spineless, but the Bone Race cannot be broken!"

"He said...he said...he has been fantasizing...fantasizing that the Bone Emperor is still alive...in case the Bone Emperor returns someday...at least...at least he still has a home..."

Xu Ye broke down in tears and grabbed his chest.

Xu Yan's heart shrank fiercely, she tightly pursed her lips, and tried her best to bear it, but Ye Lao's trembling sounds made her tears welling up in her eyes, and she froze there, feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.

Xu Ye shook Xu Yan's hand tremblingly: "You are from the Bone Race. You have been wandering alone for so many years, and you have the blood that all our Bone Race members have lost. You are the hope of our Bone Race."

"Old Ye, stand up first..."

"Promise me! Xu Yan, promise me!" Xu Ye was very excited, his face was full of tears, but he firmly grasped Xu Yan's hand: "I will give you the last hope of the Bone Race, you promise me, guard it , live on. I know that I imposed these pains and responsibilities on you because I am too incompetent as an elder, but the Bone Race has reached the edge of the cliff, I... I beg you..."

Xu Ye suddenly bent down towards Xu Yan, his forehead hit the ground heavily, and his dull voice echoed in the simple and empty stone house.

"Old Ye, don't do this!!" Xu Yan burst into tears, and also knelt in front of him.

"This decaying ethnic group has no hope. It must go through a baptism of death before it can find new hope. I don't know if I am doing the right thing, but so far, I can only gamble. I believe that the patriarch Choosing you has his own reasons for choosing.

I have been wrong all my life, this time... I must not be wrong again, otherwise I would have no face to meet the dead patriarch and bone emperor.

You go, go tonight, escape from this bloody restricted area, escape from this northern border, and escape from this decadent family.I don't care where you go, but please promise me to live on.

I am the acting patriarch of the Bone Race, I can't abandon it, I must guard it until it is destroyed, even if it delays for a day and a night, I can still be considered dedicated to my duty.

My old man still has some family background, three saints, five semi-saints, fifteen venerables, and a large number of precious bones in the forbidden area, and... and... They are selecting some children, qualified children, Take it with you. "

"Old Ye, I can't do this..."

"Promise me!!" Xu Ye suddenly roared, staring at Xu Yan with eyes full of tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Promise me! Promise me!"

"I……"

"I had a glimmer of hope for the Bone Race before, but tonight I saw through it. I shouldn't persist in my mistakes. Xu Zhuanzhu can't bring hope to the Bone Race. Even if the Bone Race is reborn, the current Bone Race is rotten.

The bloodiness of the Bone Race has been lost for tens of thousands of years, and now, it must be retrieved, and it is up to you to retrieve it.Xu Yan, child, promise me!Count me...please..."

"I...I promise..." Xu Wei waited bitterly for the final confidant of the Bone Race, but it turned out to be... such an unbearable burden... She didn't communicate much with Xu Ye, but only a few times Contact, at least know that he is a strong and domineering person, with the arrogance of an iron-blooded soldier, and the pride of a marshal of a race, but... the two diametrically opposed situations today deeply hurt her heart.

What kind of despair, what kind of grief, made Xu Ye collapse to this point? !

So much so that there was no image of howling, kneeling and kowtowing to a junior.

What kind of pain and desolation lies behind the extreme practices? !
I thought I was being wronged, but Xu Ye suffered more and more pain.
