At dawn, when the first rays of sunlight pierced through the dawn mist, the team of rescuers set off behind Hypatia, and under her command, the flotilla of bamboo rafts made it through the treacherous terrain and rescued the last of the trapped victims. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The village chief and the elders personally greeted them on the shore with a large crowd of people.

In the end, most of the Xia people, who had no magic or martial arts, survived.

"Great General Hypatia!" "The chief of the Xia clan stroked his chest with his right hand and half-knelt on the ground, "Your beauty and wisdom are unparalleled in the world, your kindness and kindness will be passed down through the ages, and you have generously helped us and saved countless lives in danger...... For your kindness, we can't repay it, only willing to be full of blood into your hands to break the enemy's sword and guard the shield, I, Liu Aming, am willing to be loyal to you, go to the soup and fire, and do not hesitate!"

"I am willing to swear allegiance to General Hypatia, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not give up!" A firm oath came from behind him, and one by one the Xia men half-knelt on the ground, pious and fanatical.

"Don't do this, get up quickly!" Hypatia helped the Xia people around her to her feet, "Thank you for your trust in me, but I don't want everyone to go to trouble for me, as long as you do something, I will be very satisfied." ”

"What is it? Even if the general orders, we will definitely do it!" the Xia village chief named Liu Aming stood up and asked in a firm tone.

Hypatia smiled faintly, "It's very simple, I hope you can live well, live freely and happily......" Her gaze drifted into the distance, long and deep.

The crowd gradually receded and began their busy day.

Facing the rising sun, Hipatia walked out of the village, and despite the loss of personnel, most of the Xia people here survived, which was far beyond her expectations.

The water-soaked signal scroll burst into flames, sparks extinguished, and wisps of green smoke erupted.

Her vanguard ----- Avril has returned, and the problem of the demon clan is still waiting for her to solve, even if she is a little reluctant in her heart, she has to leave early.

"General Hypatia, I'll see you off. After learning that Hypatia was leaving, the Xia Elder staggered to her side.

Hypatia wanted to persuade him to go back, but the old man insisted on sending it, so Hypatia had to support the old man and walk out of the village together.

"Although Liu Aming's child is not sophisticated enough, he is still quite authentic, and he has saved a lot of people in this flood......" The old man shook his head slightly, and sighed with some embarrassment: "Alas~ Last time, in order to transfer the villagers, he didn't even take care of his wife and children, poor Aguang's child, only four years old......!

Hypatia was slightly stunned, she should have thought that behind the safe survival of these people, there was the great sacrifice made by the Xia village chief, in order to save more people, the resolute and simple Xia man resolutely gave up his family.

The village was small, and soon they were out of the village, and the flood was still raging in the distance, and it seemed that it would never recede.

Countless figures suddenly appeared in the distance, it was the Xia people in the village, and they walked towards the flood in the distance under the leadership of Liu Aming. Despite the distance, Hypatia seemed to hear their resolute and sonorous footsteps.

"What are they doing here?" Hipatia wondered, was there anyone who hadn't been rescued?

"Oh...... They're digging drainage canals and reinforcing levees. "The flood is too strong, and the terrain is not high enough, so we have to dig a few more canals, so that the water can have a place to ......," he pointed into the distance, where there was a winding earthen wall, a man high, on which many figures could be faintly visible, as if they were laboring hard. "After two days and two nights, these flood fortifications have finally been built, and in two more days we will be safe here, and the general will not have to worry about us anymore......"

"I see......," Hypatia remembered the last night when she had left the place on a raft, and the beast-like flood had reached the village but had become as docile as a sheep, and it had been kept out of the village.

This group of Xia people, who did not have any martial arts and magic, just like this, created a miracle in the world with their ancient wisdom and industrious hands.

Hypatia involuntarily walked towards the levee in the distance, she walked in too much hurry when she went into the water last night, and only vaguely glimpsed a dark shadow, today she took a closer look, and was shocked. Outside the wall, which is more than a meter wide, almost half of the village is enclosed, and there are countless people who work at the risk of being swept away by the current, most of them digging the gully, taking advantage of the low tide, digging the drainage ditch longer and deeper, and then shoveling the excavated soil out of the ditch, and the rest of the people put the shoveled soil in sacks to strengthen the thick earthen wall. It is hard to imagine how the Xia people could build such a huge flood control fortification in just two days, which is almost impossible to complete.

A figure passed by her, a young man of the Xia tribe who was only about thirteen or fourteen years old, carrying a sack almost as high as himself, and staggered and stubbornly walked towards the earthen wall.

The young man was thin, his steps were vague, and his eyes were red and swollen, but he was afraid that he had been busy all night. Hypatia was so reluctant that she wanted to reach out to help the poor child, but she politely declined.

"No, I can carry it. Feeling someone grasp the sack on his back, he hurried back as if it contained his treasure.

"General Hypatia......" After seeing the person behind him, the young man was slightly surprised, bowed his head and said, "Thank you!"

When the boy had finished speaking, he ran towards the earthen wall without looking back, leaving Hypatia stunned behind him.

"General Hypatia, let him go. The elder of the Xia clan appeared behind him at some point, and his tone was vicissitudes, "That child's family members were all killed in the flood, this flood is his enemy, and he has to defeat it with his own hands......"

"But he's still a child......" Hypatia's face turned pale, her left hand stopped in mid-air and trembled slightly, she didn't know how many other families had suffered such a tragedy, thinking that this flood was caused by her negligence in preventing demons, she couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in her heart.

"General Hypatia......" the old man gently pressed back her outstretched left hand, "but he will soon grow into a real man, overcoming hardships, self-improvement, and turning the tide is the natural mission of every Xia boy, so you don't need to worry too much about us, let these young children let go and fight, I don't think they will and do not want to live under your protection for the rest of their lives." ”

Hypatia looked at the stubborn back in the distance, stunned, she couldn't help but think of Marven, the brave, hopeful Xia youth, he was afraid that he was also fighting with such a belief, alas~ It's been so long, and I don't know where he is and whether he is safe......

"The flood is coming, the flood is coming again!" a hoarse warning voice pulled her thoughts back, and when she looked up, she saw a huge flood peak swept towards her with a thunderous sound, almost swallowing up the small Xia village.

Hypatia gasped, the flood was almost as big as she had seen the night before, and in front of it, a terrifying and devastating force could be felt directly. And in this Bekaa Valley, there is no way to condense magical elements, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to help this group of Xia people escape this catastrophe, "Damn, haven't those guys in Parimoya repaired the damaged embankment?"

The people quickly stopped what they were doing, climbed over the earthen wall, and ran towards the village, panicked but orderly, and in a short time they all retreated from the front.

The flood quickly flooded the rocky beach at the front, roaring and rushing towards this direction. However, when the monstrous flood rushed to the side of the earthen wall, it plunged headlong into the criss-crossing canals.

Suddenly, the momentum of the flood peak was greatly reduced, and a large amount of water flowed down the ravine into the distance.

In the end, the flood only set off a wave less than three feet high on the edge of the earthen wall, like a tamed brute beast.

As the flood receded, the crowd erupted in shouts of triumph, and the village was safe, rock-solid, unmoving.

Looking at the Xia people who were finally safe and sound, Hypatia couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart, she had a strong premonition that this ancient and mysterious people would rise in the near future, and the endless suffering would not convince them, but would only sharpen them into more stoic and tenacious, and they would form the most powerful army and completely sweep the whole world......

As far as the eye can see, the winding earthen wall stretches to the end of the eye, like the indomitable backbone of this nation, standing proudly in front of the rolling turbid waves.

Hypatia smiled with relief, it was time to leave.
