Jiang Qiu stomped his feet, "What is this island called?" ”

Min replied: "It is said to be an outlying island, I don't know very well, people here like to name it after the plants or animals that are unique to the island, and they generally say whether to go to the island where cattle can be grazing, whether to go to Xinghua Island at night, or Treasure Island, etc. ”

"In other words......" Jiang Qiu asked, "Islands that can have a specific name will have some twists and turns and bizarre stories?" ”

"Of course."

Willow Leaf looked into the distance, and there would be nearly fifty cavalry on each small hillside, which was a very simple arithmetic problem.

On one side were the old, weak, sick and disabled people who had fled into formation, and on the other side there were more than 400 cavalry on the way, and on the other side there were more than 600 cavalry.

And the combat power of the White Bone Knight and the combat power of the fleeing masses can not only be made up for by numbers.

How many bones did they see halfway up the hillside of the orc palace?

At least more than 200,000.

Jiang Qiu became silent, indicating that he was also starting to get nervous.

In Tianyang City, one person overturning a hundred ordinary people has already exhausted him, and in wartime, the greater threat actually comes from the collapse of his own team.

There are only more than twenty retired and active soldiers in the team, and he has done his best to maintain a team of hundreds of people in a panic, at the beginning, he originally thought that it would satisfy him if the dragon beast saw that someone would stand up to meet the challenge, but now he thinks that he is too stupid.

No matter what the outcome is, the war between the creatures of the Thousand Islands and the Bone Knights is inevitable.

There were no new white bone knights joining the team, and more than 600 cavalry followed the fleeing team gradually south, I don't know why, they never attacked, looking a little hesitant, as if waiting for some order.

But whether they attack or not, they are there, and this sense of oppression falls on everyone's hearts, and if it is not for the imminent arrival in Broken Slope City, they have already seen hope, maybe the pale hunters and natives will scatter early and lead to a rout.

Qingjiu's expression was hideous, as if he saw an invisible thin line connecting the white bones with himself, and it only took a very subtle moment, the moment the thin line broke, the white bone knights would attack.

The group retreated to a dense forest, surrounded by rivers, except for the north, the other three directions of the river were extremely deep, Qingjiu arranged to go down, everyone built a horse rejection wall and fence on the spot, arranged for secret sentries to guard in different directions, looking for a suitable opportunity to escape to Broken Slope City for help.

"We can't retreat any further, eight hundred meters further south, it's the plains, and if there are no reinforcements, there is no way for us people to survive." Qingjiu looked south, "It's only twenty miles away from Broken Slope City now, and it's not far from the place where you can live, but the problem is that it's too dark, and there are all white bone knights outside." ”

Qingjiu said: "What I'm most worried about is that the White Bone Knights are using our group of people as bait to eat the real combat-ready troops in Shattered Slope City. ”

Qingjiu drew a straight line on the map, an arc, "This arc is a natural barrier for Broken Slope City, not suitable for large-scale cavalry assaults, and the plain will be killed by the artillery of the defenders of Broken Slope City, so as long as Broken Slope City does not send troops, it is impossible to break the city by relying on these ancient cavalry alone." ”

He looked at Jiang Qiu on the side, and his tone was a little solemn, "As you said, we don't seem to have many choices, either fight to the death, or cross the river and step onto the plain and be chased by cavalry." ”

"Is there any way to find out the number of the nearby Bone Troops and pass them on to Shatterslope City?"

Jiang Qiu was a little surprised that Qingjiu's brain was so good, he was able to analyze the problem in a panic, and looked at him a few times again.

Jiang Qiu asked, "Is there a signal on the mobile phone?" ”

Qingjiu shook his head, "There was no signal more than a month ago. ”

"That is to say, the outside world only knows that there is a large array here, but does not know the specific situation here, and it cannot support us with missiles, let alone use satellites to locate us." Jiang Qiu spread his hands, "I'm not a god, I can't do this kind of miracle." ”

Qingjiu said: "I know so...... I still hope that the outside world will know about the situation here sooner. ”

Jiang Qiu patted Liu Ye's head and said to the three little girls: "Don't be sleepy, I'll take you out of here when you can't hold on." ”

He looked at Qingjiu again, "Do you want to come with me?" ”

Qingjiu was a little hesitant.

Jiang Qiu didn't force him to make a choice too much, but said to himself: "I'm not such a cold-blooded and ruthless guy, but I definitely want to ensure that I live." At the same time, you have to be clear that one enemy and a hundred exist in fantasy, and if you think you can destroy all six hundred bone knights by yourself, just do it. ”

Because the six hundred white bone knights wandered around and peeped around, all of them did not dare to sleep, and listened to the instructions of the leader all the time, cutting down trees and piling them up at random in the shallow north of the river.

Under a dying poplar tree, a couple walked over, led a thirteen-year-old boy, and smiled at the two: "The two of us are teachers from the Mingde School in Tianyang City, and we are here to teach, compared to these hunters who lick blood with the tip of a knife and the locals of the Thousand Island Plain, we can see the situation more clearly......

"Without the support of modern troops, cavalry is the most lethal type of troops, and manpower can never compete with cavalry. I've been watching the team for a long time, and I think that a person who is willing to attack and kill the Bone Knight every night is a good-hearted and good person, so we may not be able to leave tonight, and we can't continue to walk, so please take my child. ”

Qingjiu frowned, but it was not because he didn't want to bring a burden, but suddenly noticed that a pair of teachers could still see the current situation clearly and dared to make a decision, he was still hesitating, turned his head to look at Jiang Qiu, and his brows stretched, "I won't leave either, at least I have the experience of leading a team, even if there are only twenty or thirty people cooperating with me, I can drag at least a hundred cavalry." ”

Jiang Qiu looked at the couple, "Have you thought about it?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, "We are all scholars, of course we are familiar with history, and we know very well that sometimes in order to leave a seed, someone must sacrifice. ”

"We are both superpowers, but we are both weak. And after years of teaching, I don't have time to exercise, unlike you young people who have such good physical strength and can't keep up with you to break through. ”

The summer night was dark, and some people heard this conversation, and after knowing that it was impossible to live all of them, they suddenly fell into a greater panic, talking and crying, and some people even looked at the leader Qingjiu and already had a hatred in it, hating them for not being able to lead them to live.

Sometimes, a higher education does not mean that his moral level is higher, but there will always be some use.

After learning the tragic news that someone had to fight the White Bone Knight to hold off the time, starting with this couple, one after another people approached Jiang Qiu, hoping that they could take their children out and stay behind to drag the White Bone Knight, most of whom were residents of Tianyang City.

Most of them are scholars, teachers who came to the Thousand Islands Plain to teach, and they are also superpowers, but they don't have any grandiose words, but after entrusting their children to Jiang Qiu, they patted Jiang Qiu on the shoulder, cut down trees without saying a word, and made simple wooden stick weapons.

Liu Ye pulled Jiang Qiu's cuffs slightly, "Master? ”

At this time, Jiang Qiu was surrounded by more than 30 children, some were crying, some were watching the night without saying a word, they were all victims of this unwarranted disaster, and they were all poor people who were about to become homeless.

Jiang Qiu exhaled a long breath, "Don't think too much, I will be responsible for them, you just need to follow behind me, continue to help me resist the wind, and let my arrows fly as far as possible." ”

"Of course, we have to get out of here. If we choose to stay, it would be irresponsible. ”

"A lot of times it's not the bumps in the road ahead, it's the choice."

Min lay on the ground, quietly watching the joys and sorrows of the human race, watching some parents leave their children to stand in front of them, watching some people jump into the river in fear, trying to swim to the other side, taking advantage of the night to escape to the city of Broken Slope, but was killed by the bone scouts. There are also soldiers who are in danger and are helping others to make improvised weapons and traps. There are also people who have fallen into despair and sit under the trees, waiting to die in a daze.

Jiang Qiu found him and squatted in front of him, "Do you want to go with me?" ”

"Why?"

"I don't know if your contract is true or not, and I don't know if that dragon beast will suddenly break the shackles of the contract, but I don't want a high-level beast to cause chaos in the rear while Qingjiu and them are fighting."

Min smiled: "Wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to take these children and me with you." ”

Jiang Qiu said: "So I found a helper, which is a surprise." ”

A thin white-haired young man squatted down on the side, took out a small notebook and wrote it, "Jiang Qiu is my friend, he needs my help to keep an eye on this buffalo, once he kills someone, kill him immediately, and at the same time, Jiang Qiu also promised me to help me find He Qiusheng." ”

The white-haired young man Wang Sun asked, "Do you really know where He Qiusheng is?" ”

Jiang Qiu nodded, "I'm sure, but that place is too dangerous, and I don't dare to go alone." ”

Every day, Wang Sun's memory will be reset, almost everything is forgotten, and he can only rely on the records on the notebook to restore his memory.

There are a lot of records on it during this time.

[As I recorded before, law enforcement robots can't eat it, and now I'm finally sure that it really can't be eaten, and I can't eat it. 】

[I met a woman with big breasts, she said that she hadn't seen me for a long time and missed me very much, which made me a little distressed, and she also said that she would remember to kill her in the future, which made me even more confused. 】

[There is a bad guy with a cold demeanor, who seems to be called Shen Youchu? I can't beat me, but it's the knife behind her, a little impression, I really want to be cut by that knife, it's weird. 】

[I actually dreamed that there was a palace and a throne in the dream, and the person on the throne wanted to kill me, saying that I had stolen the power that belonged to him, causing him to be forced to stay on the throne...... What does it have to do with me? I forgot! 】

The noise around did not affect the shock in Min's heart, looking at the two lakes as clean and clear, but it was difficult to see the eyes in his heart, Min didn't say a word, and lowered his head slightly.

Although Min does not approve of Wang Sun.

The dense forest became more and more noisy, and finally a person stood up, unable to stand this kind of place where there were white bone knights on the outside and panic inside, and collapsed: "Please all die, if it weren't for the fact that you gang of people are plotting to go to that palace, because there is news that the treasure is about to haunt the Thousand Island Plains, how can everyone fall into a place of death?" You outsiders deserve to die! ”

Qingjiu endured the anger in his heart and pointed at the people around him, "Didn't we save your locals?" Could it be that the teachers from Tianyang City who came here to teach sneaked away? Do you locals like to let others die for you so much? ”

"Then who's going to save me and keep me alive?"

The man waved his hand angrily, his mood was already unstable, and motioned for his companion, who was also sluggish, to join him, and prepare to leave here immediately with all those who wanted to flee and go to Broken Slope City.

Jiang Qiu immediately realized that this was a dangerous signal.

Once someone is the first to escape, it will immediately trigger a chain reaction, causing everyone to collapse, and at that time, it is impossible to choose who stays and who dies, but who dies quickly and slowly.

The most terrible thing in the war is not the enemy, but the stupid own people.

Jiang Qiu left beside the wurm beast Min, walked through the noisy crowd, and stood in front of the man.

The man looked at this young man with a gloomy face, but there was no joy or anger in his eyes, and he was slightly stunned, there were already as many as four hundred people in the team now, and Jiang Qiu was too inconspicuous in the crowd, thinking that he was an angry young man, and wanted to stand up and accuse himself?

It's just that what's the matter with the black knife in his hand?

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Jiang Qiu slashed down against the scorching summer wind.

The knife rose and fell, and the man's head was in a different place, spurting blood and fell, because the incident happened suddenly, and Jiang Qiu was a magician who could use qi to strengthen muscles, he couldn't react at all, and there were a few friends who looked like him, and their eyes were suddenly red, and just as they were about to get together, they were entangled in several shadows and couldn't move.

The three little girls of Liu Ye looked at this scene dumbfounded, and wondered in their hearts, they were going to kill him in just a few words, it was too cruel, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with what people said.

It was indeed their outsiders who caused this disaster.

Jiang Qiu stood in the middle of the crowd, he had already recovered his original appearance, looking at those ordinary people with frightened faces, looking at those hunters with complicated eyes, after a moment of silence, he pointed to the white bone knights wandering around outside and said: "Those white bones are not living beings at all, you should know their ferocity very well." ”

"Along the way, most of the Bone Knights are slaughtering the village."

He looked at the man who was lying at his feet, then at the companion of the man who was bound by the green wine that had rushed in, and then looked around at everyone again, "In this time of crisis, we are not gods, we can't let everyone live, we have to choose." ”

"Life or death, no one will blame you for either choice, but I can't tolerate that when everyone finally makes up their minds to do heroic deeds, someone jumps out and says that you are wrong."

"At this point, we have only one choice."

Jiang Qiu said loudly: "Those who are willing to stay follow Qingjiu and stop the White Bone Knight." If you are willing to live with me, I will take you to break through. ”

"But I can tell you very clearly, if no one wants to stay and use their lives to delay the breakout, all of us will die here, unable to leave our seed."

"So I don't want to blame anyone's choices, it's up to you to decide."

The poplar grove was silent, whether it was Qingjiu who rushed to hear the sound, or the couple who chose to leave their children to fight the white bones by themselves, or the people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, looking at Jiang Qiu's black eyes, everyone shuddered for no reason, but because of this, they also calmed down, and at the same time felt that Jiang Qiu's words were right.

Liu Ye looked at the back of the master leaving, and didn't understand it very much, as if after leaving Tianyang City, the world changed, no longer you invited me to dinner, I invited you to drink, but it became a ...... Is it exactly what it's like to step into an adult world?

You have to be responsible for yourself, you have to make your own choices, and you have to choose your own path forward.

Qingjiu chuckled and said: "It's really courageous, kill the people who are in the mood of the army as soon as possible, if it were me, I should stand up and accuse the person who is in the heart of the army, instead of killing him......"
