Chapter 977 208. Blood debt must be paid with blood
Yize Bay.
A curfew has been implemented in Eze Bay, which is under the control of the Free Blade. Legions of musketeers patrolled the streets, blocking the last avenues for nobles and wealthy merchants.
In the dead of night, Grigri, who was sleeping deeply, 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?
Gregori tried to put on his shoes, but his feet stuck into the freezing water.
"What's going on!?"
He screamed and retracted his feet, and then endured the cold water and opened the door. The screams, shouts, and the sound of water outside suddenly became clear. stand up.
At the end of the street, a huge wave that flooded the doors and windows, carrying debris and struggling people, was roaring towards them.
"Oh...damn..."
Gerry Grid 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 their sharp claws grabbed the residents of the streets and took them off the ground.
Gregory raised his head, and his ferocious bat face with long, thin and pointed teeth was even more beautiful than the noble lady he accidentally saw a few years ago.
Grigri and the others who were rescued by the giant bat were thrown into the mountains outside Ize Bay. The terrain here is high, so there is no need to worry about being flooded. The Free Blade and Legion have already evacuated here in advance.
Evil always breeds from chaos, so the people of Liberty City are patrolling repeatedly, asking for the identity of everyone rescued by vampires.
"Name."
"Gregory."
The registered member raised his head, confirming that he was seeing a human and not an orc.
"Father said there are too many people named Gerry." Gerry, who was used to it, said quickly.
After registering his identity, Grigory consciously walked among the group of refugees. There was a group of Free Blades surrounding an orc nearby. When Grigory thought the battle was about to break out, they suddenly raised the orc high, not throwing it up.
Gegri-Geli stared blankly. Also confused were the chiefs and shamans of the orc tribe.
The reason is simple. The Howler saved everyone - it can also be said that Annan saved everyone.
When the flood rushed along the Mam River, it happened to be the portal time on the hour in the middle of the night.
Annan and the Howler discovered the arrival of the flood immediately and moved all the orcs Get together and then notify Izawa Bay and surrounding towns to evacuate.
This meant that when the flood reached Eze Bay, most residents were evacuated to Liberty City and the mountains, causing far fewer casualties than imagined.
Gerry Grie was both unlucky and lucky. He was so asleep that he missed the door-to-door evacuation notice, but he was rescued by a vampire when the flood came.
Femi and Little Small stood not far away and looked here. Little Small whispered: "Legion Commander, there is something wrong with this flood..."
The North has always been There has never been a flood...at least Little Small 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.” Fermi’s empty cuffs swayed lightly in the night wind.
"You mean the devil is caused by the Kingdom of Ruikan'er?"
"Who else could it be besides them?"
Little Small opened his mouth and was about to speak when a heartbreaking sound broke out. The roar of the lungs pierced the night sky.
"No! No!!!" Claude looked up to the sky and roared in pain.
“What happened to him?”
The people nearby whispered.
The registered Blade of Freedom had a complicated expression, and he was the only one of the rescued Kingdom soldiers to have such a reaction... So either his faith collapsed, or a relative died in the flood. Just as the members of the Free Blade guessed, Claude, who learned that the flood came from the upper reaches of the Mam River, returned to the refugee group in despair, fell to the ground, and after a while he took out the notes in his pocket, lit a bonfire, and started writing. A letter that can never be sent.
[To my love, Yanes:
The flood swallowed Ize Bay.
I lost my status, my comrades, everything, and...you.
I don’t know what I am holding on to, what’s the point of writing this... Changhu Town is gone, and you are gone. Do I still need to continue to live after losing my faith and lover?
I heard the encouragement of the Free Blades. They were fighting for those desperate people who lost their homes... I was wrong, you were right, the kingdom is not worth our lives for it, we just It can sacrifice consumables for a purpose.
My lady, do you hear me? They are singing...
They are singing that everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, and they are listening to beautiful stories that are almost unreal. They are saying that revenge is the most sacred emotion in the world.
I know what I am going to do, my lady, I will pay with my blood for you!
Saint Laurent calendar year 1001, October 21st, Claude]
......
The next day, the raging peak of the flood had passed.
However, there is still nearly two meters of stagnant water in Izawa Bay. The survivors continued to stay in the mountains, waiting for the floods to recede... they thought they would.
In the evening, the cold wave in the north came, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Even the flames of the campfire became colder, and the people warming themselves up could not get any warmth.
As the snowflakes fall, the entire Eze Bay turns into a white world, and the pure snowflakes cover all sin and sadness.
The angry snowfall of the goddess of ice and snow caused heavy snow to seal the mountains. On the fifth day, the scouts outside reported bad news: Yize Bay was frozen.
The scout is a former member of the Xianyu Gang, and he is a bit stupid.
He couldn't tell clearly, so Little Small simply took some people to go to the city to have a look.
They were stopped by a group of locals on their way down the mountain.
“Lord Free Blade!”
“My identity is the executive officer of Free Blade.” Little Small corrected.
"Executor, can you take us to the city..."
They are people who still have family members in Izawa Bay who have not had time to escape and rescue them.
"You can follow me if you want." Little Small said after a moment of silence.
The team that originally had only a dozen people gathered more and more, and by the time it reached the foot of the mountain, it was already a huge team of hundreds of people.
They stepped on the snow on the turbid glacier, which was full of silt, sand, and bubbles, and passed through the city gate, seeing the Ize Bay covered in white snow.
The crowd unconsciously separated to find things they were familiar with.
“Ah!”
Suddenly some people screamed and retreated, being knocked down by wooden sticks frozen in the ice. They pointed at a piece of ice where the snow had been wiped away and kept hesitating.
Little Small walked over and saw a blurry and pale face in the ice.
Those who did not have time to escape were frozen in the frozen river, maintaining the same posture as they were at the last moment before death.
As we move forward, there are more and more shadowy silhouettes frozen in this way.
Little Small clenched his fists while walking between the ice.
"Blood debt must be paid with blood..."
