Li Yi's whole body trembled, he clenched his teeth, and without looking at the elf uncle who was constantly coughing up blood on the ground, he walked behind the five people who were still fighting.
"Stand back!" Li Yi's voice seemed very dry, and he had lost his former vitality, as if what he was saying was not a life-saving word, but a simple fact, "You guys, all stand back!" ”
The elves were given the order, turned around mechanically, spread their legs, and ran away.
As if he had no teacher, Li Yi spread out his hand holding the elder's order and gently threw it on the ground.
The piece of gold silk swirled in the air and landed, and the purple light emitted on it also rotated with the rotation of the golden silk, and when the golden silk completely fell to the ground, the purple light rotating above was still rotating.
Spinning, spinning, Li Yi's eyes kept spinning in circles with this purple light, and then he suddenly found that a transparent but space-distorted wall appeared in front of him.
This strange wall stretched far away, and Li Yi could imagine that from the northernmost part of the elven realm to the southernmost side, it was very likely that there was such a wall.
This is...... What the? Li Yi stretched out his hand and lightly touched the wall.
A whirlwind blew his whole body away, and then the wall returned to its original state without the slightest change.
Li Yi could see clearly in mid-air, it was the same inside and outside the wind wall, as long as something touched the wall, even if it was just a little, it would be blown away by a whirlwind.
This wall perfectly protects the rest of the people!
Li Yi finally let out a sigh of relief, but soon, a wave of anger condensed between his eyebrows, and he stood up and walked slowly to Uncle Elf's side.
The uncle's condition has stabilized and he no longer vomits blood, but looking at this, it will not be able to recover to the previous state in three or five months.
Li Yi lowered his body, grabbed the uncle's collar, and asked in a deep voice, "Say, why...... The death of your compatriots makes you so ......"
"If, if I could, I would rather die than me, but so many people must die before I can play the role of the Elder Order......" The uncle said this, and then he gasped for breath, for him, even talking is a very hard thing.
Li Yi was stunned for a long time before slowly putting the uncle back on the ground and sitting down beside him.
With a wave of his hand, a stream of wood-based energy gathered from all directions, constantly repairing the injuries on his body and that of the elf uncle, and when it felt almost the same, Li Yi let these energies stop.
"Now, are you feeling better?" Li Yi asked.
Uncle Elf nodded, looking at the situation outside the wind wall in silence.
"Tell me, why do you want so many compatriots to die......" Li Yi stared at his uncle until he couldn't hold on under Li Yi's gaze before retracting his gaze.
"Do you know why I told you earlier that the Elder Order is the key for the elders to use the power of the gods to change the world...... Moreover, this kind of change is not often seen ......" uncle's eyes are scattered, seemingly staring at the turf in front of him, but in fact he doesn't know where his thoughts have flown to.
"Hmm......" Li Yi nodded, motioning for him to continue.
"Do you know how the Elder's Order should be used?" The uncle asked himself, "You are not an elf, so naturally you will not know, in fact, many people do not know what the Elder Order represents, they only know that the power of this rag can change the world, but they do not know the price required to change the world...... But it's our Wanqu's life! ”
"Yes, that's right, every time you use the Elder Order, whether the user is an elder or an ordinary Wanqu citizen, you need to pay a great price, and this price is not paid by yourself...... It's someone else, someone else instead of paying! ”
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at the dead corpse of the elf in the distance, and suddenly understood something.
"No matter what you think, the Elder Ling, one of the most important sacred relics of our Wanqu, has such a cruel characteristic!" I don't know if it was because of the excitement or other reasons, the elf uncle, who originally spoke intermittently, spoke fluently at this time, "I want it to play a role, I want it to save the people from fire and water!" You have to pay a corresponding price, and this price can definitely not be you! It's the lives of our fellow citizens! ”
"Just like the barrier that protects us just now, what is needed is the blood of ninety-nine Wanqu sons and daughters! There are so many of us, and in the end we are the only ones who survive! Now you get the idea, right? Why, why am I giving this cloth to you now! As he spoke, the uncle burst into tears, "I don't want to see so many dead corpses of my compatriots!" ”
Li Yi couldn't listen to the rest of the words, or rather, he couldn't listen to them at all, he didn't want to hear them, he didn't want to know this cruel reality, although he was not an elf, but this kind of joking with the lives of his compatriots really disgusted him.
No, not disgust, but disgust, extreme disgust!
Disgusted with the guy who created this kind of thing as the Elder Order, so disgusted that I wanted to take a few bites on him to feel comfortable......
Li Yi stood up, returned to Gu Lei's side like a walking corpse, unlocked the star soul cage, and didn't care about Gu Lei crying and pinching herself, hugged Gu Lei, and buried her head in her arms again.
Many people say that when a man is uncomfortable, a woman should give him her own arms and let him return to peace.
Gu Lei didn't know this, but she understood very well that her lover was very uncomfortable now, and Li Yi, who was optimistic in the past, was able to become what he is now, and she had to say that she was forced out by so many creepers.
Or is there another reason? Gu Lei looked around and found that few of them had become more flexible, so she couldn't help covering her small mouth and hugging Li Yi harder.
Two people, standing on the battlefield in the middle of the night, silent.
Not far away, a fierce whirlwind continued to erupt on the wind wall, blowing the creepers who hit the wall far away, falling into a puddle of unrecognizable flesh in the distance, repeating itself.
The sound of airflow explosions like firecrackers sounded one after another, and at this time, it was as if the elated crawlers were laughing at Li Yi's powerlessness, which was particularly harsh.
After a while, the creepers retreated again, abandoning the futile gesture and waiting for the moment when the wall of wind would disappear.
Until the last creeper disappeared into the night, not a single elf shouted in victory, for such a situation really had nothing to do with victory.
Lost, or won? Only the results on the battlefield speak silently.
"Arriving at the intended location soon! Perform pre-landing maneuvers! ”
The herald's penetrating voice reached the ears of every soldier, and everyone stirred up, knowing that after the next landing, it would be an unimaginable battle.
Everyone in the Ranger has had experience fighting creepers, but every encounter with this creature will give them nightmares ranging from months to months, and every night, every time you close your eyes, you will see this disgusting creature writhing and crawling towards you!
This army is good at force suppression in the air, but when it comes to creepers, creatures that can only be killed in close combat, they have little choice but to give up their advantages and choose the most correct way to fight.
Hand-to-hand combat is not a difficult task for the rangers!
Every Ranger warrior has this belief, and after joining the most famous army of the Wind Elves, they have established this belief in their hearts.
Feng Zi looked at the burning dot not far away, and was slightly anxious in her heart, and the light autumn rain on her side had already quietly pinched her sleep, and her little hands were full of sweat.
Everyone...... But don't do anything!
Getting closer, the expressions on everyone's faces became extremely heavy when they saw the huge wall of wind.
This also means that the Elder Order has been used, and there are definitely no more than double digits surviving in Balam Village!
Qing Qiuyu's face changed, and he pulled the neck of the flying beast and landed on the ground quickly, and pounced when he saw the two figures hugging each other in the distance.
"Light ......" Feng Zi stretched out his hand, trying to stop the excited girl, but failed, Light Qiuyu rushed to Li Yi and Gu Lei's side in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind, but he didn't know what to say.
"Support troops, are you coming...... Li Yi let go of Gu Lei, looked at the ranger soldiers who landed on the ground one by one, and turned to look at the light autumn rain, "Finally, it's here!" ”
Li Yi's gaze was very complicated, his eyes were constantly flickering, on one side were the energetic army soldiers, and on the other hand, the villagers who had already died on the battlefield, although these villagers were also members of the elven army system, but they still died after all.
Dead at the mouth of the creeper...... Or was it sacrificed to build the last protective wall?
I don't know how to describe it, Li Yi doesn't know at all, his heart is full of anger, but he understands that there is nothing wrong with everything here, what is wrong may be his own concept.
Isn't giving his life to protect his homeland exactly what the elves who died in battle thought? Why should you be angry? Why do you feel worthless for these elves?
Is it because of that damn Elder's Order? Yes, it must be...... and that Ling Feng, who has never had a road surface, he should also have strong strength...... Where was he when his compatriots gave their lives to defend their homeland?
These are all reasons for Li Yi to think for himself, but deep in his heart, there is still a voice that clearly tells him that his anger is not because of those dead elves, nor because of Ling Feng who has been missing.
He was angry that he didn't have enough strength to fulfill his promise!
Li Yi promised the light autumn rain, and before she rushed back with the people, she would definitely help the elves resist the attack of the creepers! But...... What's going on!
Li Yi clenched his fists, yes, what's going on! If it weren't for that Elder Order, he would have failed! Having said that, it wasn't the Elder Order that protected the survivors and kept them from being defeated so badly!
"I'm sorry...... I'm a ...... Underdog! After Li Yi muttered to the light autumn rain, he bowed apologetically to the elves and walked slowly towards Balam.
"Boy, you said you failed...... But I don't see a failed person, but a depressed person......" Feng Zi tilted his head and looked at Li Yi with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I just didn't fulfill my promise, if it weren't for the Elder Order, my defeat would have been even worse!" Li Yi, who wanted to open it, spoke bluntly and admitted his failure, but he didn't look at anyone again, and pulled Gu Lei, who was at a loss, to continue walking away.
"Did you do your best?" Feng Zi continued to ask coldly.
Li Yi was stunned and stopped.
Oh, yes...... Did I do my best? Li Yi didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know if he had done his best.
Exactly, where are your limits...... Is it possible to reach the limit just by mastering the rules? Even so, Li Yi didn't use such an ability when he fought before, he always showed himself as not much different from ordinary people, only, he just used the star soul when he was fighting.
How can such a Li Yi be called "tried his best"?
Li Yi has never thought about this, and has been entangled in this question in his heart, in the end, what should I do?
The elves who almost took their lives several times in order to hate humans are desperate...... Or do your best with a clear conscience?
In fact, this question had already begun to arise in his heart when Li Yi decided to fight for the elves, but such a choice was too difficult, and Li Yi had never been able to make up his mind, so he had to bury this question deep in his heart and no longer ask about it.
This is also the real reason why Li Yi is wavering and his mood is up and down.
And this question, after Feng Zi's sentence "Have you tried your best", was put in front of Li Yi again.
You...... Did you do your best?
Li Yi's heart began to tremble violently, and even with his body, he still kept trembling, he knew that he didn't try his best, he could have fought desperately, at least ...... Nor will it be as tragic as it is now.
But reason told him that if he did, he would probably never see the sun tomorrow again...... No, it is absolutely invisible, the power of using rules has great restrictions for Li Yi, in the face of so many enemies, it is impossible for Li Yi to change the rules of all creepers, but if he does not change the rules of all creepers, what is the point of using the power of rules by himself?
And, instead of helping much, the consequences of doing so will be swallowed up by the swarming creepers, so what's the point?
For the elves...... Sacrificing yourself? Or do you sacrifice those elves for your own sake?
I'd rather ...... Sacrifice these elves to save yourself! Li Yi finally made a decision in his heart, he gritted his teeth, slowly looked at Feng Zi, and calmly looked at the commander of the ranger army.
"I ...... I did my best! ”
Although this sentence was said against his will, Li Yi was extremely frank when he said it, as if he took it for granted, but who knew that his mind had gone through so many struggles?
Yes, I did my best, to the best of my ability as a human being, not as a strong man! I didn't break my promise with the light autumn rain, I just ...... The price to pay is too great for the elves!
