A gust of wind blows across Kenny's red cloak, as if the god Namu is sighing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The midnight sky was dim and silent, and the only movement in the night sky was twinkling stars and a few black crows that had not yet returned to their nests. The fishing boats were still in the dark of night, the river was shining with stars, and the few disoriented crows perched on the masts of the fishing boats until the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Countless guards galloped in all directions, with Morwen Fort as the center, and in parallel with it, in addition to the gray sand in the sky, there were also hoarse shouts.

They told the people who had fallen asleep to evacuate to the north of the city as quickly as possible.

But after half a moment, countless people flocked to the north of the city, and they didn't know what was happening.

In the midst of the pushing, someone saw the benevolent lord standing on his horse, he mingled in the crowd, looking extremely tired, and his slightly closed eyes revealed indescribable sorrow.

The thick fog slowly descended, and it seemed to make the night of hidden murder even more suffocating. Despite the arrival of spring, Kenny tightens his shirt in the silver armor. He looked a little distraught, and there was an unusual seriousness on his face.

"Lord! Lord, Lord Kenny!" a boy no more than seven or eight years old, jumped up and down beside Kennyma, "Where are we going?" he raised his little face that was blown by the night wind, "Uncle Guards just said that we are going to evacuate outside the city, have we encountered something?"

Kenny dismounts.

"Yes, kid. He bent down and touched the boy's face, "We're ..... Something did happen....." He choked up, straightened up and shouted, "Who's the father of this child?!"

"Your Excellency—" A voice came from the crowd.

"Where's his father?" asked Kenny, looking at the woman who walked out of the crowd.

"He enlisted in the Union Army. A middle-aged woman dressed as a farmer in a coarse cotton coat picked up the boy and replied.

"Really?" Kenny grouted a smile, "Hey, boy, your father is a hero!"

"You're not wrong at all!" the boy looked proud, "he's just like you, a great hero to our Nipurs!

"Collar ..... Lord, where are we going?" the woman said.

"Follow the crowd north. Kenny pointed in the direction of the crowd and told her, "Minister Allen, and Chief Selsi will be waiting for you there." ”

"Your Excellency. The woman bowed her head, "I know that we may be attacked by the enemy. She looked up, "I want to plead with you, wherever you want to go next, please take us with you." She bowed her head again, "I beg you, even if you leave Nipur....."

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Kenny placed his right hand on his chest, "I swear in the name of Dalton Wolf and the Lord that no matter how bad things are, I will take you with me." He put down his hand and smiled, "Look, God Namu is watching me for you, don't worry." ”

"Yes, the god Namu is with us, my lord. The woman smiled back and walked into the crowd with the boy in her arms.

Kenny looks at the boy's smiling face, his heart like a prick of tiny needles, and he is ashamed when he calls himself the hero of Nippur.

Immensely ashamed.

"Lord?" Aiden walked over with the reins, "Shall we go forward?"

Kenny turned. "We're right here. He said, "I'm going to watch everybody leave." ”

At the same time in the north of the city.

Allen leaned his back to the battlements and said nothing, his gaze resting on the cross flag fluttering in the wind. He seemed to be thinking about something, and the constant flow of people under the walls, and Sercy's sighs, didn't seem to affect him.

"Can you tell me, what are you thinking?" said Sersi as she looked at the meandering crowd and muttered without looking back.

"What do you say?" said Allen, leaning over and holding his head up.

"You must have thought I was going to say that you cursed the lord in your heart. Sersi turned his face, "Alan, I have a question for you. Elder Eugene has said that he has used ancient divination techniques to divinate his lords, and in the near future, Nipur will encounter unprecedented calamities....."

"So what?" Alan raised an eyebrow, "what do you want to ask?"

"You knew this was going to happen beforehand, didn't you?"

Alan froze. "Yes, I saw everything with the Mandate of Heaven card. "I just didn't expect this day to be so soon." ”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" said Sersi with some reproach.

"Because it can't be changed. Alan shook his head, "Man, I didn't know it would be so soon. ”

"What's next? What will happen?"

"The flood will flood the city of Nippur, and people will die here. ”

"What else?"

"That's all I saw. Alan patted Sersi on the shoulder, "Later, you will lead the people of the city to evacuate north, I will command the Alliance forces to stop the incoming enemy forces, and when dawn comes, we will meet in the forest thirty miles north of the city." ”

"What about me?" Mio interjected coldly, "Brother, can I help in any way?"

"I give you Linde," said Allen, "and keep up with Sersi, and he will protect you." ”

"Hey!" Sersi reached out to stop Allen as he was leaving, "Why don't I stop the enemy?" he exclaimed, "They're my well-trained soldiers, I know them better!"

"Don't ask so much. Alan pushed away the hand that was blocking his chest, "Protect the city's citizens, and this birdman and Linde." As soon as he took a step, he tilted his head and added, "When the first light passes through the forest, if I don't come back, take them all the way north, don't look back!"

When the streets were no longer crowded, Kenny and Aiden mounted their sturdy horses, and hundreds of Guards followed them across the deserted Main Street, turning around the causeway.

The fishing boat was still drifting with the waves, and a few lost crows perched on the masts, Kenny thought the looked familiar, but his mind quickly turned to the rising water.

The water level had risen by more than two feet compared to before, and the dry riverbed had now become a shallow shoal, and a tall fishing boat mast had reached the lower end of the stone bridge under the arch bridge not far away, like a big fish stuck in the mouth of a thin bottle.

"Lord?" Aiden frowned, as if to ask something.

"Damn! they've already done it!" Kenny said through gritted teeth.

"This is just the beginning, and when the water upstream completely washes away the dam, it will become an ocean. Aiden turned his head and looked at Kenny's resolute side face and said, "Lord, we need to get out of here at once." ”

"Hmm. Kenny answered, and shook the reins.

The wind was whistling in his ears, nearly a hundred fierce horses galloped on the causeway, the reflection of the empty city of ten thousand alleys was constantly thrown behind him, Kenny, who was riding on the front side, leaned very low, he listened to the night wind singing, and regretted the defeat again in his heart.

But the next second, he flew off his horse and fell heavily to the cold stone ground.
