Li Yi's whole body trembled and gritted his teeth tightly. He didn't even look at the elf uncle who was constantly coughing up blood on the ground and walked behind the five people who were still fighting.
"Let's retreat!" Li Yi's voice seemed very dry and no longer had the vitality of the past, as if what he said was not a life-saving word, but a simple fact, "You all retreat!"
The elves received the order, turned around mechanically, stepped on their legs, and ran far away.
As if he had learned from his own knowledge, Li Yi spread out his hand and gently threw it on the ground.
The piece of gold and silk rotated in the air and landed on it, and the purple light emitted on it also rotated with the rotation of the gold and silk. When the gold and silk completely fell to the ground, the purple light rotating above was still rotating continuously.
Rotate, rotate, Li Yi's eyes kept turning with the purple light, and then suddenly discovered that a transparent wall appeared in front of him, with a feeling of space twisting.
This strange wall extends far away. Li Yi can imagine that from the northmost point of the Elf Realm to the southmost point, it is very likely that this wall exists.
What is this? Li Yi stretched out his hand and gently touched the wall.
A storm blew his whole body away from a distance, and then the wall returned to its original state without any change.
Li Yi could see clearly in the air that it was the same inside and outside the wind wall. As long as something touched the wall, even if there was only 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 breath, but soon, a sense of hostility condensed between his eyebrows. He stood up and walked slowly to the elf uncle.
The uncle's condition has stabilized and he no longer vomits blood, but looking at this, he will not be able to recover to his previous level without three to five months.
Li Yi lowered his body, grabbed the uncle's collar, and shouted in a deep voice: "Say, why... the death of his compatriots makes you like this..."
"If, if possible, I would rather die me, but so many people must die to play the role of the elder order..." The uncle supported himself and gasped. For him, even speaking was a very hard thing.
Li Yi was stunned. After a long time, he slowly put the uncle back to the ground and sat down beside him.
With a casual wave, wood-type energy gathered from all directions, constantly repairing the injuries on himself and the elf uncle. When it felt similar, Li Yi stopped these energy.
"Now, do you feel better?" Li Yi asked.
The elf uncle nodded and remained silent as he looked at the situation outside the wind wall.
"Tell me, why is it that so many compatriots are going to die..." Li Yi stared at the uncle until he could not hold on under Li Yi's gaze and then withdrew his gaze.
"I know why I told you before that the elders' order is the key to the elders' use of the power of gods to change the world... Moreover, this kind of change can't be seen often..." The uncle's eyes were dissipated, as if he was staring at the turf in front of him, but in fact, he didn't know where his thoughts had already flown.
"Well..." Li Yi nodded and signaled him to continue.
"Do you know how the elder order should be used?" the uncle asked and replied, "You are not an elf, so naturally I don't know. In fact, many people don't know what the elder order represents. They only know that the power of this rag can change the world, but they don't know the price required to change the world...but it is our Wanqu life!"
"Yes, that's right, every time you use the Elder Order, no matter whether the user is an elder or an ordinary Wanqu people, you have to pay a huge price, and this price is not something you pay by yourself... but someone else, who will pay instead!"
Li Yi was stunned, looking at the dead corpse of the elves in the distance, he suddenly understood something.
"No matter how you think, the Elders, one of the most important holy objects in our Wanqu, has such a cruel characteristic!" I don't know whether it was because of the excitement or other reasons, but the elf uncle who was speaking intermittently became fluent at this time, "If you want it to work, you have to pay a corresponding price to save the people from water and fire! This price must not be you! It is the life of other compatriots!"
"Just like the barrier to protect us just now, what is needed is the blood of ninety-nine Wanqu children! There are so many of us, only a few of us will have to be saved in the end! Now you understand? Why, why did I hand over this piece of cloth to you now!" The uncle said, and cried bitterly, "I don't want to see so many dead bodies of my compatriots!"
Li Yi could no longer listen to the rest of his words, or he could not listen to them at all. He didn't want to listen to them, and he didn't want to know this cruel reality. Although he was not an elf, he really disgusted with the actions of joking with his compatriots' lives.
No, it’s not disgust, but disgust, extreme disgust!
I hate the guy who created the elders to make such things, very disgusted, so I feel so comfortable that I want to bite a few times on him...
Li Yi stood up and returned to Gu Lei like a walking corpse. He untied the Star Soul Cage. He ignored Gu Lei's crying and making a fuss and pinched himself hard, hugged Gu Lei, and buried his head in her arms again.
Many people say this: when a man feels uncomfortable, a woman should give him his own arms and let him calm down.
Gu Lei didn't know this, but she knew very well that her lover felt very uncomfortable now. Li Yi, who was the optimist school in the past, had to be said to be forced out by so many crawlers.
Or, there were other reasons? Gu Lei looked around and found that almost few elves had become flexibly. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and hugged Li Yi even harder.
The two people stood on the battlefield in the middle of the night, silent.
A fierce whirlwind burst out on the wind wall not far away, blowing the crawlers who hit the wall away from a distance, and falling into a pool of irrecognizable meat paste in the distance, repeating itself.
The explosions of airflow like firecrackers sounded one after another. At this time, it was like the cheerful creepers mocking Li Yi for his powerlessness, which seemed particularly harsh.
Soon, the creepers retreated again, giving up this useless action, and waiting for the moment when the wind wall disappeared.
Until the last creeper disappeared into the night, no elf cheered for victory, because such a situation was really unrelated to victory.
Lost, or win? Only the results on the battlefield tell all this silently.
"Arriving at the scheduled location soon! Do pre-landing action!"
The extremely penetrating voice of the messenger was transmitted to the ears of every warrior, and everyone was cheering up. They knew that after landing, it would be an unimaginable fierce battle.
Everyone in the Rangers have had experience fighting with the creepers, but every time they encounter this creature, they will bring them a nightmare period of varying months. Every night, every time they close their eyes, they will see this disgusting creature constantly twisting their bodies and crawling towards them!
This army is good at suppressing force in the air, but when encountering creatures like Crawlers who can only fight and kill close to each other, they have no choice but to give up their own advantages and choose the most correct way of fighting.
Close-up fight is not difficult for the Rangers!
Every Ranger soldier has such a belief. After joining this most famous army of the Wind Clan Elves, they established such belief in their hearts.
Feng Zi looked at the burning dot not far away and felt a little anxious. Qing Qiuyu, who was beside her, had quietly pinched her sleep, her little hands were covered in sweat.
Everyone...but nothing is wrong!
When they got closer, when they saw this huge wind wall, the expressions on everyone's faces became particularly heavy.
This also means that the Elder Order has been used, and the survival of Balam Village will definitely not exceed double digits!
Qing Qiuyu's face changed, and she pulled Xiangzhang's neck and landed on the ground quickly. When she saw the two figures hugging each other in the distance, she rushed over.
"Qing..." Feng Zi stretched out her hand and tried to stop the excited girl, but failed. Qing Qiuyu rushed to Li Yi and Gu Lei in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind, but she didn't know what to say.
"The support force is here..." Li Yi let go of Gu Lei, looked at the Rangers soldiers who were landing on the ground while enjoying themselves, and looked at Qing Qiuyu in a blink of an eye, "Finally, here is here!"
Li Yi's eyes were very complicated, and his eyes were constantly flashing. On one side were energetic military soldiers, and on the other side were villagers who had already died in the battlefield. Although these villagers were also members of the elves' military system, they were still dead after all.
Died under the mouth of the crawler...or was sacrificed to build the last protective wall?
I don’t know how to describe it, but Li Yi didn’t know at all. He was full of anger, but he understood that nothing here was wrong. What was wrong might be his own concept.
Isn’t giving your life to protect your home? Isn’t it what the elves who died in battle think? Why do you have to be angry? Why do you feel worthless for these elves?
Is it because of that damn elder order? Yes, it must be... And Ling Feng, who has never had a road, should also have strong strength...Where was his compatriots who sacrificed their lives to defend their homeland?
These were all the reasons Li Yi thought for himself, but deep in his heart, there was still a voice that clearly told him that his anger was not because of the dead elves, nor the Ling Feng who had been missing.
What he was angry was that he did not have enough strength to fulfill his promise!
Li Yi agreed to Qing Qiuyu that before she came back with her men, she would definitely help the elves resist the attack of the crawlers! But... what's the matter!
Li Yi clenched his fists, yes, what's going on! If it weren't for the Elder Order, he would have failed! Having said that, he protected the surviving people and made him not lose so badly, but the Elder Order!
"I'm sorry... I'm a... loser!" Li Yi murmured to Qing Qiuyu, then bowed apologetically to the elves and walked slowly towards Balam.
"Boy, you said you failed... But I didn't see a failed person, but a depressed person..." Feng Zi tilted her head and looked at Li Yi with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"I just haven't fulfilled my promise. If it weren't for the elder order, my defeat would be even worse!" Li Yi, who was open-minded, admitted his failure, but did not look at anyone again, and pulled Gu Lei, who was at a loss, and continued to walk away.
"Have you tried your best?" Feng Zi continued to ask suddenly.
Li Yi was stunned and stopped.
Yes... have I tried my best? Li Yi didn't know how to answer, nor did he know whether he had tried his best.
To be precise, where is his limit... Can you reach the limit just by controlling the rules? Even so, Li Yi did not use such ability when fighting before. He always acted as if it was not much different from ordinary people. He just used Star Soul during the battle.
How could Li Yi be called "doing his best" like this?
Li Yi has never thought about this. He has been entangled in this issue deep down. What should he do?
The elves who hated humans several times almost killed their lives... or do their best to do their best with a clear conscience?
In fact, this problem began to arise in his heart when Li Yi decided to fight for the elves, but such a decision was too difficult. Li Yi was always unable to make up his mind and had to bury this problem deep in his heart and stop asking about it.
This is the real reason why Li Yi is shaking and ups and downs in his mood.
And this question was once again placed in front of Li Yi after Feng Zi's words "Have you tried your best?"
Have you... tried your best?
Li Yi's heart began to tremble violently, and his body continued to tremble. He knew that he had not done his best and could have fought desperately, at least... the situation would not be as tragic as it is now.
But reason told him that if he did this, he would probably never see the sun tomorrow again... No, he would definitely not see the power of rules. The power of using rules has great restrictions for Li Yi. Faced with so many enemies, Li Yi could not change the rules of all creepers. But if he did not change the rules of all creepers, what's the point of using rules?
Moreover, the consequences of doing so are not only not very helpful, but they will be swallowed up by the creepers who are swarming in. What's the point?
Sacrifice yourself for the elves... or for yourself, sacrifice those elves?
I would rather... sacrifice these elves to protect myself! 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 Rangers.
"I... did my best!"
Although this sentence is very contrary to his will, Li Yi was extremely open when he said it, as if it were natural. But who knows that his thoughts have experienced so many struggles?
