Chapter 41: The Bekaa Valley
Hypatia thought of the Xia people who lived in the Bekaa Valley. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Bekaa Valley was low-lying and swampy, and she feared that it would be impossible to escape the flooding, and she couldn't help but worry about the most pitiful of people.
"Parimoya, please take a trip to the Bekaa Valley, which is a low-lying area, I am afraid that it has been affected by floods, and the Xia people there need help......" Hypatia's tone was no longer commanding, but one that bordered on pleading.
It is no longer the responsibility of the elven army to rescue the Xia clan, and the inferior people who have no faith and have taken refuge in the demon clan do not even have the right to live in the eternal forest.
"General Hypatia, do we still want to save that inferior people who have no faith?" Parimoya had a surprised and angry expression, "The weakening of the seal of the Demon Realm is inseparable from the Xia people, not to mention that many of them have indeed taken refuge in the Demon Clan, how can we be worthy of those who died at the hands of the Demon Clan?"
"Yes, General, let those damned Xia people drown in the flood, you have done your best to them, this cursed nation will only bring us bad luck!" the other elf then interjected, full of disgust and contempt for the Xia as he spoke.
"General, His Royal Highness the Elven King has abolished the residency rights of the Xia people, if the people of the Council of Elders find out that you are still taking in the Xia people privately, I am afraid it will be ......" Parimoya reminded in a low voice, the Council of Elders has long been dissatisfied with her, and if they find a way to attack Hypatia, she will be in a worrying situation.
Hypatia was silent for a moment, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she pulled out a small piece of the magic scroll and handed it to Parimoya.
"Parimoya, you stay here to deal with the aftermath of the disaster, and when Avril returns, you can tear open this signal scroll and notify me to come. Hypatia walked towards a tent on the hillside, and went in and got something.
"General Hypatia, where are you going, what else do you tell us to do!" Parimoya hurriedly followed, he couldn't figure out what Hypatia was going to do, at this critical juncture, as a ranger general, she should be in command.
"Go to the Bekaa Valley, save the people!" Hypatia found a shovel and ran alone in the direction of the Bekaa Valley, the cold moonlight reflecting her thin back lonely and lonely.
The Bekaa Valley is full of swamps, and there are many dangers inside, and on the way here, Hypatia is uneasy, and she doesn't know what happened to those Xia people after this flood, "Alas~ Poor people......" She prayed secretly in her heart.
The dew condensed on the green leafy grass, and a vast white mist rose in the night, and Hypatia in the dark night flew through the jungle like a green arrow, and even the birds in the forest could not keep up with her speed. She was anxious, thinking about the terrible terrain of the Bekaa Valley, the group of Xia people who had no magic or martial arts skills were afraid that they would not be able to escape and suffer heavy casualties......
The sky began to turn white, the sun shone through the light mist among the trees, and after a long night's journey, Hypatia finally reached the Bekaa Valley, her proud twin peaks rising and falling, sweat mixed with the morning rain and dew sliding down her white forehead.
She closed her eyes slightly, and sighed in disappointment, the situation here was as bad as she thought, in front of her was an almost boundless ocean and piles of silt, everyone refused to save the Xia people, but they were also fresh lives!
Is it wrong that they just want to have a place in this world where they can live and live freely? She really couldn't understand why those who thought themselves noble and benevolent should treat these innocent people so cruelly, even the elves!
With a hint of anger, Hipatia stepped towards the dirty and muddy earth in front of her, the mud of the swamp was so soft that if she was not careful, she could get stuck in it and never come out again. Hypatia walked straight into the swamp that had devoured countless lives, and soon the mud was flooding her knees, covering her gorgeous robes with countless filthy mud, and Hypatia couldn't care about it, she still ran forward, she was fast, and she could always pull out her mud-stained legs with ease.
In a few moments, Hypatia came to the water's edge, and the road leading to the Xia village had been completely swallowed up by the flood, and all she saw was a large murky stream of mud in front of her.
Looking at the mud all over her body, Hypatia smiled a little self-deprecatingly, the geography of this Bekaa Valley is said to be caused by the war in ancient times, not only is the terrain low-lying, but its magic field is extremely weird, there are obviously strong magic element fluctuations here, but it is impossible to use magic normally, only the magic scrolls sealed in advance can work here. She was in such a hurry that she had forgotten to carry some magic scrolls, otherwise a gliding spell would have allowed her to fly over the swamp.
Without the slightest hesitation, Hypatia decisively plunged into the murky flood, where magic could not be used, but her martial arts worked, and in the water, she broke the waves like a flying fish.
She didn't know how long she had swam in the murky rapids, she felt her head hit by the floating objects on the water countless times, and sometimes she would stop to take a closer look at what was floating on the water, maybe some people were on a raft preparing to escape. However, after a few attempts, Hipatia was disappointed, and most of the trees floating on the water were branches, with only the occasional sight of architectural debris......
There was a dead silence all around, and Hypatia's hanging heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, and those Xia people were still buried in the flood after all, and the elves could have saved these people's lives......
"How ridiculous and ironic this is!" A nameless anger ignited in Hypatia's heart, and a brilliant fighting spirit stirred on the surface of the water, rolling up the waves, "Instead of dying at the stake in the Church of Light, they died in the territory of the Night Elves, a group of unarmed refugees, who were driven to a dead end by the elves who claimed to love life and nature, is there anything more ironic, more tragic, and more shameful in the world?"
Hypatia closed her eyes and let the filthy flood splash on her handsome face and long flowing hair, if any other elves saw her now embarrassed, they would have been surprised if any of the other elves saw her now embarrassed, in the impression of all of them, the Ranger General was always elegant and calm, even in the bloody battlefield, she was still spotless, she always maintained her beauty and composure, and she had never been so gaffe------- unkempt and covered in mud.
After standing still in the water for a long time, Hypatia finally turned away, her large eyes lost their former brilliance, and her slender but powerful arms only paddled mechanically in the murky water.
She swam slowly, like a flat boat that could be overturned at any moment in the rolling waves.
There was a faint cry in my ears, was it a hallucination? No, it was a small but real voice, and it sounded like a child's voice, sad and desolate......
"Someone else is alive!" a thought flashed through her mind, and in an instant, she regained her swift speed and swam swiftly towards the place where the sound had come from.
A little boy, about three or four years old, clinged to the dead branches of a large tree, and the flood rolled under his feet, but the big tree, which had only a dead branch out of the water, remained unmoved.
"Don't cry, child, you're saved, saved......" Hypatia hugged the boy from the dead branch and comforted him with words.
As soon as the child left the branch, he cried even more sadly, and the white little finger pointed to the dead branch and sobbed, "Mother...... My mother...... Still down there......"
"Your mother?" Hypatia looked in the direction of the little boy's finger, and there was no half a figure except the murky current.
"Mom...... Mom is down there, and she pushed me up, big sister...... Would you please pull her up too?" the child's big crystal eyes fluttered, and he looked at Hypatia pleadingly.
"Okay, kid, you wait a minute. Hypatia put the child back on the dead branch, and she sighed imperceptibly, for the child's mother must have died in the midst of this terrible flood.
Hypatia sank her whole body into the murky water, knowing that there was no hope for the search and rescue, but she really couldn't bear to tell the child the truth.
She struggled to open her eyes in the water, and it was dark all around, and the countless mud and sand in the water kept washing the corners of her eyes with the torrent, and her eyes were as uncomfortable as a knife.
Trained since she was a child and gifted with intelligence, Hypatia's martial arts skills have long been superb, her eyesight is amazing, and she can still see the outline of the big tree clearly in the chaotic water.
She couldn't help but move slightly.
