As soon as he came out of the hut, Miyu saw several thick black smoke rising from the east.The hut is on the west side of Yamatai, on the slope of Ershang Mountain. "The king of "Envoy" will come with the remnant soldiers soon. Let's meet up below." Gan got on his horse and pointed down. Finally, a line of soldiers and civilians appeared on the road below. Their steps were weak, but the line of soldiers was still quite neat.Despite the fiasco, there doesn't appear to be a flight or atrocity.This alone can show how high the prestige of the king is.While admiring, Yayo joined the team.Everyone cheered.

Yayo waved his hand on the horse, and the cheers grew louder.Mi Yu couldn't help thinking to himself, it's great that he didn't die just now.She let the team pass first, came to the back, and saw the man. "The King of the Order..." "Miyo." As usual, Wang came last.Yayo jumped off the saddle and ran over.He asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?" "Ok." Yayo originally wanted to tell him that she was still his woman, but when she saw his expression, she knew that those words were unnecessary.His eyes haven't changed a bit from three days ago.He accepted Yayo's return frankly.

Therefore, what Yayo finally said was unimportant. "Gao Rigen was killed by Gan." "I can do it, I know." Wang nodded, as if he cared more about the person who was killed than the person who was killed.He took out the Gouyu from his bosom, and hung it around Miyu's neck again. "Here, here's another one. Don't lose it again." "Ok……" Miyu remembered something, raised his head, and saw that Gan's horse had already gone forward.Mi Yu couldn't help feeling a little pain in his heart. Ya and Kazuo walked side by side.The soldiers in front turned their heads frequently.Miyu had no choice but to reprimand: "Look ahead, walk well!" Then asked in a low voice, "Is there a target ahead?"

"Go as far as you can. If there is a boat in Jujijin, evacuate the refugees first. If not, go west." "How about going further?" "Hard to say." "Your Majesty said that reinforcements would come, right? Did Your Majesty write that in the "Envoy"?" There was a long silence. Finally, Wang nodded slightly.The movement was so small that it was almost impossible to tell if it was a nod or not. "It will definitely come." Yayo looked back one last time before crossing Nishang Mountain and entering Kawano.I saw countless things like iron sand particles swaying in the distance.

There are no boats in Sumiyoshitsu.When the locals heard that there was danger, they all fled.Although there are rumors that reinforcements will come from all over the Western Kingdom, at this moment, the port town facing the Maokou Sea is uninhabited, only abandoned villages. There are many refugees and few soldiers.Miyu sent the women and children to flee north first, while all the men were sent to dig trenches.If you don't do anything and just run away all the way, once you are overtaken by faster enemy troops, you will have no choice but to let the enemy kill you.This is the painful lesson that Mi and the others learned in the land of Dongyi.In any case, Dian must try to stop the enemy halfway.

Even so, Yayo was still at a loss.It is not a question of whether to escape or not, but whether to abandon the hometown.If you say that you want to leave this land, you might as well be buried here-this idea is stronger than ever. As if sensing Yayo's thoughts, the soldiers began to show a determined expression on their faces.Whenever the refugees left, the cries of the soldiers saying goodbye to their wives echoed in the winter field. After a few days, the whining overhead at night began to increase.The king's letter bees have all disappeared, that is the sound of the red duck.At dawn, the lookout saw the red ducks flying in the sky like dragonflies, and shouted loudly: "Here we come!"

Countless monsters turned over Mount Ikoma and appeared in front of the Yamatai army.Mi Yu boarded the gate, and Wang and eight thousand soldiers guarded around. The monkeys carrying the torches formed a semicircle and fired the cannons together, and the fireballs rained down with a terrible sound.Wang Fang shouted: "Hold on! The monster's fire bombs are at most one or two rounds!" Wang's voice was drowned out by the explosion.Dozens of soldiers were sent flying, while the rest gritted their teeth and endured. The place where the monsters produce gunpowder is far away in Kamaishi, which is more than two thousand miles away.Wang's opinion that they had almost exhausted their ammunition in the fierce battle at Yamatai proved to be correct.Seeing what the king said, the morale of the soldiers was immediately high, and they gathered together and rushed towards the monster.They knocked over the monkeys with huge logs, slashed them with swords, and blinded them;Even if the bones are broken and the head is smashed by a ferocious monkey, you have to fight back hard before you die.Standing above them, Yayo, the Witch King's attire was completely new, with extremely dazzling terracotta tattoos.She sang battle songs loudly, and the singing in the cold wind aroused the soldiers' fighting spirit.

Monkeys with their legs cut off lay in paddy fields stretching out to the sea.Originally, with just this level of injury, they should be able to get up immediately, but in the paddy fields of Juyoshitsu, they trembled and couldn't move as if they were paralyzed.Takahaya kept yelling: "Turn them over! Kick them down! Monsters can't stand salt water!" Previously, when the tide was high, the dyke was dug and the entire paddy field was filled with seawater, so now it is enough to kick the monster into the water.Weak soldiers who are usually useless, and even children with little strength but agility, can take the opportunity to achieve considerable results.

When it was almost noon, the monster wreckage around the position piled up like a mountain.If this continues, humans may really be able to repel monsters. However, a shout turned the battle situation upside down. "The southern trench has been breached!" The ditch to the south was filled with sea water and was originally stronger than the gates.But the monkeys swarmed there one after another, even if their bodies were rotten, they would not hesitate to build a bridge of corpses.The rest of the monkeys swarmed in from there, wreaking havoc in the position. At this moment, a mournful cry came from another place: "Master Takahaya has died!"

Yayo saw it too.Takahaya shot and killed countless Uo in the front line, and when the arrows were shot, he used a huge iron rod to meet the monkeys hand-to-hand.However, there was a cat sneaking up from behind him, and with a flash of cold light, Takahaya's head flew high. His death was a huge blow to the soldiers.Within fifty steps of him as the center, all the soldiers were stunned, unable to move as if struck by lightning.In the next instant, the monkeys rushed up and chopped them all to pieces. Regardless of mourning Takahaya, the brave general, Yayo ran down from the gate to support.A swarm of letter bees hovered over her head.Those were the last dozen or so that Wang had left, and they were all sent to guard her.They rushed at the monkey, and some of them managed to peck out the monkey's eyes, causing the exhausted soldiers to cheer sparsely.

But that's all.The monkeys rushing in continuously shot down the letter bees one by one. Soldiers who could not continue to support the front line had to retreat continuously.Someone was shouting: "Miyu!" Miyu turned his head and saw the king of "Envoy" coming from a little further away. At this moment, Gouyu made a voice: "Convey to all messengers and all human beings who can hear. The final defense line of the base by Lake Victoria has fallen, and my body will be destroyed soon. However, the approaching enemy troops at this moment are all The swarms within a radius of 50 kilometers around the base were born. As long as these swarms are destroyed, 80% of the enemy forces on the African front should be wiped out. Therefore, I will use the remaining antimatter to self-destruct. The explosion energy is about 9 on the Richter scale. Nearby friendly forces should immediately retreat .All surrounding stations, please be prepared for earthquakes and electromagnetic shocks. Friendly forces on the Indian Ocean coast, please be prepared for tsunami." "My Highness!" Gan rushed up to lean against Mi Yu's back, and the remaining soldiers also gathered around.Every face is covered with expressions that are all over.Miyo shouted: "Don't give up, run to the beach!" Yayo led them back to the beach, as if pushing out from the position. The king of "Envoy" stood behind. "Next, there are individual messages to the messengers - Orwell, and Miyu, I was watching your actions until four minutes ago. I am concerned. Of all the fronts, the battle on your side It was the hardest. It's a pity I couldn't spare a hand to help. If I had the energy to spare, I would—” "What are you talking about?" Mi Yu sneered, with a sense of superiority in his voice, "What else can you do besides boasting? Are you going to fight by lip service? Don't deceive yourself. This is our battle. Even without you, We will fight to the end! Bewitched witch, get lost!" Gouyu was silent.Katie seemed lost in thought.The soldiers retreated while firing arrows all the way, protecting Miyu and running into the icy sea water.The winter waves crashed against the whole body. "You don't need me?" "Ok!" "I see. This kind of spirit makes me deeply moved. Maybe there will be an answer in this way-I haven't studied the direction of the time branch that I don't exist." Katie was silent again.What she was thinking about, Miyo had no way of guessing, but when she finally spoke again, her tone was filled with a lightness that had never been seen before. "Thank you, Yayo. Your words seem to be suitable for me to die-tell me that death itself has meaning. Well, I wish you health and safety." The sound cut off. Yayo felt caught off guard, and was finally thanked by that defiant witch. Mi Yu's confusion suddenly turned into great anger. "—a person who dies casually!" I haven't seen her real face yet.After she left, Yayo felt for the first time how important she was.Yayo had never expected such an ending.Speak up, bastard!Rebuttal, bastard!Silent death, what the hell, bastard! The brief silence was interrupted by continuous explosions around him in an instant.There were still a few monkeys with torches left, and they were firing fireballs at the soldiers rushing into the sea. In the boiling water vapor, Mi Yu leaned over and roared angrily, "Everyone, are you okay!" "fine!" shouted the soldiers.Almost everyone dived to avoid the fire bombs.Yayo felt a little relieved. But the arrows that helped the remnants retreat were exhausted. Looking at the beach, Mi Yu gasped.The last remaining king of "Envoy" was surrounded by seven or eight moose, and was stabbed several times on his body. "Orwell!" Mi and wailed.The soldiers followed her voice, and when they realized what had happened to the king, they also wailed one by one. No fewer than fifty soldiers rushed forward with the determination to die, and dragged the fallen king into the sea.They took the king floating on the sea and carried him to the place where Miyo was.Yayo embraced his body, and saw that there were deep and creepy gashes on his chest and abdomen. "Orwell, cheer up!" "Miyu..." Wang still opened his eyes, but his voice was already hoarse, and blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth, "I heard you, and my heart is very happy." "Hurry up and heal the wound. Can it be cured?" "Zazhi. So don't cry, listen to me. Protecting human beings is the most important thing. The country, hometown, it doesn't matter. Those things can be rebuilt, and it doesn't matter if they don't. As long as there are people, there are people." Yayo's hand was held tightly by a strong force, almost groaning to the bone.Miyo felt relieved. "I know, don't talk about it now. Don't talk so much about injured people." "Saga." "what?" The king's eyes wandered in the air and fell on Yayu's face. "Ah, Yayo--" Suddenly, Wang's face lost all anger, and a calm expression like a smile emerged. Yayo squeezed the king's exhausted hand with all her strength, but the strength she felt just now disappeared.Yayo's legs were trembling, she called "Orwell" and touched his cheek lightly, but her eyes were no longer alive. Mi Yu held his hand, supported his body, and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.No matter how hard he closed his eyes, he couldn't stop the scalding liquid from overflowing his eye sockets. Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, droplets splashed.The soldiers were exhausted, and they knelt down one by one, and some of them burst into tears.The soldiers who hugged the king, tears fell on the king's cheeks.The wailing spread and infected the entire team. But Yayo did not collapse.With all her strength, she took a deep breath, suppressing the sob in her throat.Once, twice, three times.Then she opened her mouth and said, "Yellow building." Mi Yu raised his wet sleeves, wiped his eyes indiscriminately, and looked around, seeing miserable faces one after another.Miyu took a deep breath again, and shouted with the loudest voice she could: "Stand up the yellow building! Stand up the banner of humbleness! I'm still standing!" The soldiers looked up.Everyone was astonished, as if they thought they heard it wrong.Yayo let go of the king's body, clenched his fists hard, and stared at the surroundings with red eyes. "Stand up! Go north, go west! Monsters can't enter the sea. Go to slave country, to Tsushima country, to Han soil, no matter where you go, you have to live! Stand up, don't cry! Forget your hometown! As long as we are here, The kingdom of Yamatai will not perish! Humans will never lose to monsters!" The whimpering stopped.The soldiers stood up one by one and gathered around Yayo, as if they forgot to spy on the monster here by the sea.Without the yellow building, Dongyi would have collapsed.But a soldier hung a banner on the tip of a spear, a little battered and filthy banner.Mi Yu walked down and shouted loudly: "Do you want to live and die with me and fight to the end?!" "Yes!" There were echoing voices from all around.Mi Yu turned around and shouted again: "Even if you are swimming, you must swim across the sea! Even if you go to Han, follow me!" "Okay!" Another strong response.Yayo headed north against the waves. "Come! All living people come!" "it is good!" Gan shouted.More than a thousand soldiers responded with a loud salute, which was a majestic cry that could overwhelm the north wind. A white light suddenly flashed in the sky. Yayo looked up, unable to believe her eyes.There are boats there.That's a boat, right?If that gigantic floating mass covered in iron armor and probably a mile in length could be called a ship. Next, the cheeks of the soldiers staring blankly at the hull were illuminated by the pure white light, and dense needle-like slender rays of light shot out from both sides of the floating boat. The rays of light swept across the beach, positions, and paddy fields.Immediately afterwards, as if following those rays of light, flames soared into the sky, as if lava from the ground spewed out from the cracks in the earth.
