Chapter 213: The Storm is Coming
The whole process of Alik's migration took the longest, not the nostalgic people like the tavernkeeper, but the lowly Alik residents who were trampled into mud.
In a wilderness of evolution and mutation, human life is the least valuable thing, especially the old and weak women and children who have little use except for food and drinking water.
Among them were old men who were dying, babies who were waiting to be fed, and weak women who could not survive alone in the wilderness.
The sons, fathers, and husbands of these people were all low-level Abilities who had fought for Alik or had given their lives for Alik. As their family members, they have the right to be sheltered by Alik.
This was one of Alex's rules, made by Chief Sothoth, who had established the first school in the wilderness.
These people, who have long lost the breadwinner of their families, do not know where their fate will go, they are like catkins that have disappeared with the wind, and they can't help but rise and fall in the waves of the wilderness until the day when they finally can't float.
Choosing to follow Alec to leave and go to the unknown ice field, there may be a glimmer of life, but choosing to stay requires not only courage, but also luck.
Most of them are not very lucky, otherwise they would not have fallen to the point where they are now.
But there are still people who choose to stay, and most of those who remain are old people who have survived in the wilderness for many years and have little time to live.
The wilderness, as cruel as it is, is their home, where they forage like lowly jackals and spend most of their lives in the wilderness. Whether it's nostalgia or nostalgia, they don't want to leave.
Even if they died, they intended to rot their bones on the barren gray-white earth of the wilderness.
Maybe there's another reason that no one says, that people who live long enough can always see something that others can't. Alik's migration this time will not be unhindered, and if they stay, they may have a chance to successfully leave the wilderness for their juniors.
Chief Sothos left, but Alik's god did not, and Heidi had already become the supreme god in the hearts of Alik's inhabitants, not only because she came from a large family, not only because she had endless means to face all kinds of crises, but also because every time she came to Alik, she would personally go to the school to teach the children to read.
Sometimes, it is God who can give people hope, even if it is only a small hope, and the truth is often so simple.
The boundless convoy started slowly and drove towards the depths of the wilderness, with a choked voice and reluctance, accompanied by tears swaying along the way.
Those who remain will eventually hand over their fate to the family forces that are about to take over Alik, after all, they have paid a lot of money in exchange for Alik's ownership, and according to the consistent style of these families, it is an absolutely unforgivable mistake not to get enough rewards from Alik.
They don't really go to heaven, they need to go through the coming storm of destruction, if they are lucky enough not to be crushed by the storm of destruction, and think about how to survive in the ice fields that are more cruel than the wilderness.
But they still had hope, for the God of their hearts was right in front of them, and Heidi drove the hideous, low-growling locomotive slowly at the front of the entire convoy.
And they believed that the great chief would never leave his people behind, and that those who had listened to the chief's teachings would always be protected by the chief.
They are more confident that the former Alik speakers, His Excellency Panis, will not abandon them, and the Lo, who has always sheltered them, will not abandon them.
As for the Yi who was most capable of sheltering them, they had no idea, because the original Yi did not show any special difference, at least not too much of an impression on the inhabitants of Alik.
And it was this existence that they ignored, but he had already sent the Ice Butcher Camila into the Ice Plain to dispatch the Black Armor Legion who obeyed the orders of the Marquis of the Begu Family.
Camila's speed is terrifying, but this time she gave up her best way of traveling in favor of her mount.
Yes, she was riding in a giant pterodactyl-like creature, the old marquis's full-grown salamander.
This salamander dragon was also one of the gifts that the old marquis gave to his daughter, but it was ignored for a long time, and it was only at this time that I thought of its existence, its speed that was not comparable to that of humans, and the idea of letting Camilla ride it into the ice field.
The following of the salamander dragon is itself a symbol of the marquis.
Of course, it wasn't just Twilight's Yi who reacted to Alex's migration, and Sothos, who was far away in the ice field, also seemed to have a faint sense of something.
"The omniscient Abner Sotos has heard the call of my people, who are being consumed by confusion and panic, and as their guide, I need to do something for them."
Chief Sothos has been living in the Ruins for a long time, spending most of his time studying the ancient altar in the depths of the Ruins, and the rest of the time, except for eating and sleeping, is building a school for the uncivilized fodders.
Chief Sothos seems to have a soft spot for the Academy, and he has always enjoyed it.
"Dear teacher, do you perceive something?"
Sitting next to Chief Sothoth, he respectfully asked about the future patriarch of the Feeding Clan, who had been adopted as a righteous daughter by Panis. The once fragile little girl seemed to have experienced the same "savage growth" as she had been, at least now that she had reached the height of the chief's chest was not what she should be now.
"Ya, my child, you are still young, and you may not understand the difference between creating and destroying, but sometimes, in order to create more, it is necessary to destroy something, especially when they try to destroy the hope of the future."
The chief stood up, and he did not leave the altar, but only turned in the direction of the wilderness, and called softly.
"My people, your king is calling you, and asking you to use your fearless bodies to make a way home for their companions who are in confusion and fear."
At the moment when the chief's words came out, the endless wilderness mob that had been gathering for days and was staggering towards the ice field suddenly stopped.
They have heard the call of their king, they are the invincible spears of their king, and they need to retrieve their new companions and help those who are in confusion and panic to return home.
And after conveying the instructions to the mob in the wilderness, the chief's face did not relax in the slightest, he sighed softly, and reached out to touch the top of the little girl's head.
"My greatest reliance has already been given to another girl, so we may need to make a little more preparation, Yamaya, to ensure the safe return of my people."
The chief strode towards the other side of the Ruins Land, where Cang and his companion, the Great Serpent, rested.
"Maybe it's time for us to wake up our partners, I have a hunch that this destruction will be unprecedented, and we must be more prepared for it."
"Dear teacher, don't we need to tell the Prophet about this?"
As she followed behind the chief, she asked crisply.
The chief knew who the "prophet" was in the mouth of the concubine, and that Luo was the prophet of the feeding tribe, and he knew it from the first day he came here.
"No, my child, nothing that happens in the wilderness can be hidden from the will of the wilderness, just as anything that happens on the ice field will be known by the will of the ice. And my people, whether it is the wilderness or the ice field, as long as he wants to know, he can always know. This is what those out there call "real luck"! ”
