Report

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem After several days of heavy rain, the area within 500 miles of Kalay Mountain Range was covered with a layer of dense fog. In front of this natural moat, people who evacuated from the north were crowding in the north of Kalay Mountain Range, trying to cross this natural moat. At this moment, the north of Kalay Mountain Range was filled with refugee camps. In the place where most refugees gathered, the grey tents of the refugee camp stretched for over 100 miles. Before the former refugees left, new refugees poured in …

Refugees were dying every day, some from natural disasters, some from suicide, starvation, disease, cold, murder, robbery, and rape.

Two days ago, in the westernmost part of the Kalay Mountain Range, the Kalle Port of the Ungava Federation, the garrison of the port had just suppressed a riot among the people. This riot caused the death of over 50,000 people.

Due to being stranded in the port for a long time, driven by hunger and fear, a large number of refugees began to rush into the Karla Port two days ago, that is, August 27th, regardless of the order, in order to seize the opportunity to board the ships. No one knew when the bloodshed started. When the basic order collapsed, the refugees who boarded the ships began to violently hijack the ships. That was when the tragedy happened.

The police who were there to keep order were overwhelmed by the flood of refugees. There were serious stampedes, refugees fighting for a place on the ship were pushed into the cold sea, and crew members of the hijacked ship were killed by the daggers of the refugees. The chaos in the Karla Harbor eventually spread to the entire city. After a 2000-ton passenger ship, Golden Pearl, was controlled by a bunch of refugees, collided with another ship in the harbor and capsized, the bloody suppression began.

Rulers using iron-blooded means to maintain their rule was nothing new, but it was even more tragic for such a thing to happen at this time. Under the threat of the demon army, the human army was suppressing the human refugees, which was the implication. It was self-evident — this was the chaotic world, the real chaotic world. All order had to give way to survival instinct. The axiom of everything. They began to retreat behind their fists and swords.

The continuous heavy rain hadn't washed away the bloodstains in the Kalle Harbor yet. The corpses of those refugees who died during the suppression were directly thrown into the ocean by the defenders. Nobody cared about those people's lives as new refugees poured into the Kalle City …

In Goose Bay of Vedirac Alliance which was over 1,200 km away from Karle City, a large number of refugees also gathered here. There was a "Goose Bay Trail" across Kalay Mountain Range in Goose Bay. Those refugees who had no vehicles to cross over Kalay Mountain Range hoped to leave through this trail.

"It's already the rainy season. The path of Guspey was already impassable, and many roads had been cut off. Many people have been killed by the mountain torrents a couple of days ago. Don't move forward anymore. You're just seeking for death. You can't leave Kalay Mountain Range … "A military officer of Vedirac Alliance was standing on a high platform near the entrance of Goose Bay Trail. Wet all over, he was holding an iron megaphone and shouting at the top of his voice in the heavy rain to prevent those refugees from entering Goose Bay Trail.

Some refugees hesitated and stopped; more refugees just kept entering Goose Bay Trail numbly and silently. When they passed by this young military officer, they didn't even look up at him.

With a sad look, the young military officer watched a lot of refugees entering Goose Bay Trail with a simple map in hand. In this season, less than 1/10 of them could pass through Kalay Mountain Range from Goose Bay Trail.

In Upton, the capital city of Free Commercial Federation over 3,000 kilometers away from Gusbay, more refugees were gathering.

Upton was the largest and most famous airport and commercial city in the north of Blackson Humans Corridor. This city and Milbay in the south of Kalay Mountain Range were both cities of Free Commercial Federation. The two cities were connected with each other by air routes across Kalay Mountain Range and supported the prosperity of the entire Free Commercial Federation.

Upton once operated the largest and busiest air route across Kalay Mountain Range in the north of Blackson Humans Corridor. At this moment, the air traffic volume in Upton was over 10 times more than that before the holy war. Numerous airships flew here from the south and landed in Upton to carry away the refugees here...

After the tragedy in Kalle Harbor, the number of garrisons maintaining the order in Upton had increased to 300,000 people. All the airship bases in Upton had been covered with 3-layer barbed wire. In the heavy rain, dense refugees were crowding outside the airship bases and raising their heads to watch the airships in the sky. Each time an airship landed, the refugees outside the airship bases would be in an uproar. Numerous people would cram towards the entrance of the airship bases.

"Those with military honor certificates have the priority to leave... those with military honor certificates have the priority to leave..." The garrisons outside the airship bases waved their wooden sticks in the heavy rain and beat those refugees who wanted to rush into the airship bases severely. Those refugees with red military honor certificates were selected out of the crowd and allowed to enter the airship bases before the next batch of airships arrived.

"Ah, my military honor certificate, my military honor certificate. Someone robbed my military honor certificate..." A woman in raincoat, cradling a 5-6 year old girl, cried loudly with a miserable look at the entrance of the airship base. In the chaos, when this woman took out her military honor certificate and raised it, a hand stretched out from her side and robbed her military honor certificate before she made any response.

At this moment, a bolt was shot down from the watchtower above the entrance of the airship base, killing a man who wanted to sneak into the base with the military honor certificate. Those crowding refugees were startled at once as they moved two steps back at the same time.

A first lieutenant rapidly walked down the watchtower and picked up the red booklet from the hand of that man whose heart had been penetrated by a bolt. After that, he pulled that woman out of the crowd with tears all over her face and put the military honor certificate into her hand. After that, he whispered to a soldier on his side and had that soldier escort the woman cradling the child into the base.

"Those who dare rob the military honor certificate, die..." The first lieutenant watched those refugees with a killing intent.

If it was in the Free Commercial Federation before, if a soldier casually killed a civilian, it would definitely arouse a great uproar; however, at this moment, nobody cared about it.

Soon after that woman cradling the child entered the airship base, a medium-sized airship arrived from the north and landed in the base for replenishment in the heavy rain.

After a few minutes, the woman had received a message — — a medium-sized airship was about to leave. Coincidentally, there was a vacant seat for the woman and her kid. The woman then came to the front of that medium-sized airship with her kid in her arms following a fighter of the airship base.

When the woman boarded the airship, a person was going to get off the airship. Some people including the captain of the airship were reluctant to see him off the airship.

"Mr Peter, don't you need to think about it? If you're willing to escort us out of here, we've discussed it with our families. After we reach our destination, we can pay you 2000 gold coins!" A slightly fat man in elegant clothes watched the person who was going to leave the airship with a helpless look. He was called Peter, a 27-28 year old youth with a common long sword on his waist. With a common long sword on his waist, he looked very common. Even if he stood in front of you, he would not leave a deep impression.

After hearing this, the woman cradled the child's heart pounded. She finally knew how she and her child got that seat. Someone was going to leave the airship here. After negotiating with the officer of the airship base, he allowed her to get on the airship. At this moment, although it was a selfish thought, she was very afraid that Peter would change his mind again.

"You're almost safe here. The strength of super demon corps has not reached here yet. It will take you less than 2 days to pass by Kalay Mountain Range. It's unnecessary for me to stay on the airship!" Peter waved his hand and refused that man's proposal. "Of course, it's not necessary for me to stay here.

Everyone was trying to persuade the man named Peter to stay, but Peter was unmoved and declined everyone's request.

"Peter, will... will we see each other again?" A 17 year old blonde girl appeared at the hatch of the airship as she watched this man who was going to leave the airship with an admiring and reluctant look. The girl's pure eyes were as tender as water. At the sight of her, Peter knew what she was thinking about.

Everybody who saw Peter off remained silent on one side, including the girl's father. After staying on the airship for 2 days, everybody at present, including the girl's father and mother, had understood the girl's thought — — women would always worship heroes and powerhouses; especially men who had saved her life and could bring her a great sense of security in a crisis.
