Chapter 177: Battle of the Star Gate IV

In the field of vision of the plover, the sails of the ships near and far hung their sails one by one, white, blue or black, the huge sails were curled down from the transom, and the triangular sails were hung with diagonal cables between the masts, which looked like a magnificent wing from a distance.

He was leaning against the side parapet of the ship, a typical ba-style sail, a schooner with a single mainsail and a backmast, which had become the mainstream of the Aitarianan ocean-going sailing ship in the last century or two.

This ship is much larger than the Seven Seas Traveler, it is a real large ocean-going sailing ship, and the Seven Seas Traveler will look a little small when it is like a toy in front of it.

There were also experienced sailors on board, who were busy and methodically getting the ship into its final state before it was ready to leave port.

These sailors may come from the Silver Vislan, the Spear of the Silver Forest, and the major guilds, and half of them are natives employed by the Electors, and the other half are Draftees—trained life occupation Drafters are much better trained than real sailors—and it is worth it to raise one.

The degree of automation of the Seven Seas Traveler is quite high, and it is the first time that Fang Yu has seen such a scene, when the boatswain rings the ship's bell, on the beam, on the net, on the lookout, there is a team leader with his own team on duty in each position, as if a ship is full of people.

The ship, known as the Brig Breaker, is the property of the Star and Moon Council, and the only of the three Star and Moon Tower Warlocks' sailboats is a full-sail winged float where the Silver Veslan and the Silver Spear bring together all the best and most experienced sailors.

It's just that because it's a flagship, I'm going to lead everyone through the cloud passage under the leadership of that young lady later. The heaviest tasks and safety of the entire fleet depend on this ship, and there is no way to get out of the pool, and on the contrary, once there is no problem with the leading ship, it is not difficult for the fleet to pass through the cloud passage.

However, in comparison, Fang Yu still prefers his own boat, and the Seven Seas Traveler is a little smaller, but it has a kind of homely warmth. It was as if it was a tranquil harbor, and although it was adrift on the empty sea, it was always calm in the harbor.

He was watching the group walk up the gang between the side of the ship and the trestle, and among them was a female knight wearing a carved silver rose armor that stood out, and couldn't help jumping in shock:

"Miss Bai Xue, how did you get here?"

Fang Yu didn't know how he offended the other party, this knight lady always looked a little cold to herself, to be honest, he was a little afraid of dealing with the other party.

"This is the flagship," Bai Xue frowned, "Nominally I am still the commander of this fleet, Mr. Ed, where do you think I should go?" ”

“……”

Fang Yu was speechless for a while, he almost forgot about this stubble.

Bai Xue glanced at him: "I brought some people to meet you." ”

Fang Yu saw a worried young man walking up to the boat behind Bai Xue, and when the other party saw him, he was slightly surprised: "Ah, it's your ......."

Miner Cole had a look of remorse on his face, "I should have trusted you, Mr. Eddard, I didn't expect the Ravental Sanctuary to be like this. ”

"They took Uncle Warid, my sister and my mother, and the others, and they killed little Merth...... I don't know how little Muse is doing now......"

The more the young man spoke, the more sad he became, and his face couldn't help but show a look of pain.

Fang Yu looked at the other party silently, and he didn't know how to persuade him.

In fact, his predicament also has something to do with them, but even if this hadn't happened, the end of Gula Port would not have been better than it is now.

Cole clearly recognized all of this, but it was the pain and despair that made it seem painful and desperate.

"Big Brother ......"

A small voice came from the side, Fang Yu was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and couldn't help but look in that direction, and then was stunned.

He recognized the little boy he had saved from Basalt not long ago, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but think of that venerable mother, and his heart couldn't help but darken.

"Did you find 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 than one bad luck, otherwise, that lady would not have been so decisive at that time.

He reached out and stroked the little boy's hair, and said softly, "Don't worry, it will always pass, you go down first, there may be a battle later." But don't worry, everyone here will take care of you. ”

The little boy nodded despite his confused expression.

"Brother Ed is so gentle."

Tianlan stood far away and whispered to the little friends beside him.

Beside her, Kita and Ai nodded in unison, but the latter nodded her head as if a chicken was pecking rice, and Miss Naturalist's face was a little red.

"Gula Harbor is not safe now, we evacuated everyone, the person you introduced wanted to save his mother, sister and friends, but we let him go is equivalent to sending him to death, so we brought him over," Bai Xue said: "That little boy was rescued by our people from near that square, thanks to your live broadcast, our people found him, you haven't fulfilled your promise to that lady, right?" ”

Fang Yu silently watched the others loosen them off the deck, and then turned around and looked at the knight lady seriously, and his opinion of her changed again:

"Thank you."

Bai Xue shook her head, "Taking them out of Gula is just a stopgap measure, there are many such people in Gula Harbor, we can't save everyone." In addition, I am neither just nor kind, unlike your Royal Highness the Princess, who will only do what I can. ”

She glanced at Fang Yuan: "The hopes of these people are pinned on you, if you can lead us to find and destroy one of the anchors, then the fate of these people and the entire northern realm will change." But if not, their end result will be no different from those who remain in Gula at this moment—"

Every face he had ever seen in Greyowl Town that was full of confusion and trepidation about the future flashed through his mind.

He pondered what the Chosen One had brought to the world, it might not be better, but it should never get worse.

He thought that civilization would really learn from history.

But the opposite is true......

Since the time of the Stargate, the so-called 'sacred mission' of the Electors may have been just a propaganda, and today it is no different from the past - it has only a veneer of intoxication - yesterday with a sword, today with a lie.

The awe-inspiring aura of righteousness hides only the rampant greed and desire for possession.

For thousands of years, perhaps civilization has never triumphed over barbarism.

What is the meaning of Stargate's existence?

Is it just a window to divert contradictions, greed and sin?

Or, as some preach, a great, omniscient and omnipotent being is a gift to his elect?

But not so much a gift as a sweet poison, the stargate brought peace and prosperity, but it was better to deflect a temporary dispute.

But the contradiction and hatred have never been resolved, it has only been shaped into a more complex appearance, and the flame buried deep in the human heart is just waiting for an opportunity to turn into a fire that burns everything in an instant.

There will always be a moment when the scars are revealed, and all actions will eventually have a price, and those rotten and ugly cannot be immersed in dreams forever.

Fang Plover had already seen the maggots and blood-sucking flies that were about to move under the wound, and one day they would swarm out with an overflowing stench.

The last time the world was swept away by the fires that swept the world, it burned away from the decaying Europe and completely reshaped their civilization in the two centuries that followed.

And this time, to whom will it burn -

The scar had been uncovered in the North, but it might have affected him much more than that, and he could choose to watch from the sidelines—but who would be out of the cracks when the day of judgment came?

Stargate is like a sober spectator, just watching what happens, not stopping, but not fueling it.

Is history just a cycle?

But Fang Yu prefers to believe that in that golden age, human beings describe themselves, and human beings can come out of the spiral of history and overcome their own fate forever.

Their footprints can step out of the solar system and go to the deeper starry sky, but how can they not get out of the shackles of a bygone era? Ignorance will eventually become a thing of the past, and what civilization has shattered is only its own shackles-

Everything in the present may be just a dream, but everything in the past is real, and some people take advantage of the goodwill in people's hearts, but that at least shows that goodwill exists.

The stars will witness everything.

Fang Yu raised his head and nodded to Bai Xue.

Bai Xue was slightly surprised when she saw him, some people were not lacking in recklessness, but that was not real courage. Most people are afraid to take responsibility, because the human heart is like an invisible hand, it will hold you high, it will also make you fall, you will be on the top of the clouds, you will be in the abyss.

People cherish their white feathers and therefore stay away from this quagmire, not because they are afraid of sweet words, but because of the price behind them.

Because in 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 also have the belief and power that is different from others.

That's real power.

Every guild successor of the next generation who has been cultivated like her will be taught such a truth, but how many people can really do it?

In their generation, perhaps only Her Royal Highness the princess could have this courage, although Bai Xue didn't want to admit it, she could at least look at it objectively.

But even if it is the other party, does it dare to take on the current responsibility?

Bai Xue slightly belittled her opponent in her heart.

“…… No wonder he came to this place at this time, single-handedly attacking the Tower of Stars and Moons to reveal the evidence of the Ravental Temple. ”

And if it were me, I might not have the courage, Bai Xue thought to herself, and a trace of appreciation and envy flashed in her heart.

That's what she's always wanted to show on the outside, but couldn't really get. If the other party was in Silver Vislan, there must be nothing wrong with the little princess.

President Dawn 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 looks like you're planning to be a hero......"

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, I'm not mocking you. On the contrary, Silver Vislan and the Spear of the Silver Forest will try to work with you. ”

Fang Yu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and there was a dream that the boy didn't have a hero: "...... Thank you. ”

"No thanks, it's a very advantageous thing to be a hero's companion, because we will share your glory equally," Bai Xue replied very calmly, "But the ugly words are ahead, if you fail, the black cauldron is yours, and 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 was 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 friend fight alone, and she will definitely stand with you, right?" Bai Xue suddenly spoke.

"Ah...... Yes? ”

Fang Yu was taken aback, was his idea so obvious?

"Hmph," Bai Xue snorted coldly: "But you think well, of course I'm different from her, I'm not as kind as her." Everyone has to learn to take their own responsibilities, and what is the good thing that wants benefits, but is not willing to take risks? ”

The wry smile on Fang Yuan's face became more and more obvious, and he probably understood where he had offended the other party.

But he didn't want any good.

It's just that doing something like this makes him feel very satisfied.

Everyone at the Seven Seas Brigade supported his decision, and that was what he cherished most, a good team, not how strong it was.

It is that everyone in this collective can carry each other's ideals and beliefs.

……

The ship made a long horn sound, informing the others that it was ready to anchor—

Generally speaking, sailboats leave the harbor with a guide boat to clear the way in front of them, and can also help them adjust their direction in the narrow harbor.

But dozens of ships left the port together, and they obviously didn't have this spare time, and the current situation did not allow such an order. 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, there will inevitably be some bumps and bumps in the middle, but under the shrewd planning of a certain ship officer, with the cooperation of dozens of experienced and experienced captains, there were no major problems.

Although she was the daughter of Marwey Albert, the greatest navigator ever made by Cowling-Eshurian.

There are also quite a few rumors about this young lady outside, some of which say that she studied on her father's ship at a very young age, and it is said that this young lady has the best skills as a navigator under the influence of his father.

But there are so many rumors that there will always be some distortion, and besides, she has been grounded for many years, who knows if this young lady really has that ability?

The matter of the tiger father and the dog also happens from time to time.

Therefore, before the real show of their hands, even the old captains who are familiar with the name Marwey-Albert are still suspicious of this young lady.

But now, there are no more doubts, and planning a route in the harbor to move so many ships out in the shortest possible time is a delicate task that the average captain may not be able to do.

After all, most people know their own ships well, but they are at a loss to plan as a whole, which is the level of the ship's owner and fleet commander.

Under Sylvid's command, the first to leave the harbor were small boats, which left the harbor and anchored outside to join the larger force.

And the second step, the ships requisitioned by the major chambers of commerce, these armed merchant ships are numerous, they do not leave the port, and it is difficult for the real big ships to sail out together.

But they were not fast and slow to turn, and it would be a fantasy to sail them out of the harbor at once if they were not first diverted out of the channel and cleared the way.

And when the armed merchant ships left the port in an orderly manner, the major guilds actually began to evacuate the outer defense line, and the first group of people to evacuate had actually returned to the ship.

It's just that the line of defense has moved inward, which means that the pursuers have also appeared on the docks.

Xia Yue and those who were freely chosen were the second group to enter the defensive line, and the people who were originally Silver Vislan and Silver Forest Spear asked them to evacuate first:

"You free to elect the first to get on the ship, you don't have a unified command, you may not have time to evacuate later, and the defense line on this side will be handed over to us."

That's what the commander of the silver Vislan said.

However, Xia Yue directly rejected the other party, he was a member of the Flor Descendant, and he had not yet fallen to the point of relying on the Rainbow Alliance. And the Free Electors also supported him, and they didn't want the people of the Great Guild to look down on him.

It was the first time that Xia Yue felt that these free callers were actually quite good.

The Free Electors thought that the people of the Great Guild were arrogant and domineering, and the people of the Grand Guild did not think that the Free Chosen People were free and loose, and that both sides looked down on each other.

But Xia Yue didn't know if he was lucky, or if it was something else, these people he met were quite to his liking, and they were as proud and honorable as them, and their performance in battle was not bad.

Of course, it is 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 too embarrassed to mention that he was a descendant of Flor.

The commander of the silver Vislan did not embarrass them, and directly assigned a section of the defense line to them, and they did not disappoint the other party, and have held on to this day.

At this moment, the other party's voice came from the communication crystal again:

"Xiayue, Bing Flash, all of us are ready to evacuate, you immediately retreat into the defensive line, everyone goes, don't leave anyone behind."

"There will be other people who will come to hand over the line of defense with you, and they will be in charge of breaking the line."

Ice Flash is the ID of the leading free elector, this time Xia Yue didn't say much, he knew that with their strength, it was not worthy of the break, and the break was a technical job, not everyone could do it.

He only waved to the other party: "Flash people." ”

Then the entire defense line immediately began to retreat, Bing Flash counted the manpower, found that there were two missing, and asked again in the communication channel before finding the other party from a nearby building.

The Freedom Team is in this trouble, if the elite group of their Flor descendants is forbidden, there will never be such a thing as a few people retreating.

Everyone retreated in the direction of Pier 7 towards the trestle, but they were only halfway there, when they suddenly saw a flickering light and shadow on the passage in front of them.

Those lights and shadows were intertwined, like a void purple flame, turning into reality in front of everyone.

"Shadow Man!"

Xia Yue heard Bing Flash shouting beside her: "How can there be a shadow man here!?" ”

"It's all over the place," the others exclaimed, "they're coming from all sides, and we're surrounded!" ”

……
