Chapter 242

Every day, countless people will fall, but new banners will be raised.

The war after war, in the eyes of the leaders of the great forces, may be for development or other reasons, but what they have never thought is that what the war brings to the ordinary people is the separation of wives and children, the destruction of their families, And with life and death again and again, people have become accustomed to war, or... have become numb.

Bloody wars again and again are collisions between life and death. Under the endless flames of war, the people on the entire continent are like ants on a hot pot. I just don’t know who can escape from this sea of ​​fire. , and who will fall here forever...

In July, the sun was scorching hot, the weather was sultry, there was not even a breath of wind, and the thick air seemed to be frozen.The whole world seemed to be placed in a furnace, and it was so hot that it was impossible to breathe.

And on this day, on a dilapidated port in the "Wimanda Empire", hundreds of meters of ragged people stood in the scorching sun. The hot weather had already cracked their lips, but everyone seemed to have no symptoms. Noticing it, he looked anxiously and urgently at the distant ocean, as if he was looking for something.

Kari is 16 years old this year. At this time, he does not have the youth and vitality that people of the same age should have. His slightly immature face has a sense of vicissitudes and fatigue that is completely inconsistent with it, as if it has been invaded by years. The old man, at the fork in the road of life, becomes confused and upset.

Kari's face was pale, his body was thin, and his hair was a mess, which hadn't been taken care of for many days.The whole person is like a thin matchstick, it seems that when the wind blows, he will wander around with the wind.

On his upper body was a somewhat tattered long-sleeved garment, and the cuffs were rolled up to his arms, as if he wanted to reduce the hot heat from attacking his body, while his lower body was wearing a fat tube that was obviously several sizes larger The trousers, which he took off from a corpse, had been washed several times, but there was still a faint red mark on the knees.

In this turmoil that no one expected, Kari's parents, grandparents, and all his relatives gradually moved away from him in the wars, and in the end he was the only one left. On the turbulent land, they are constantly struggling and lingering.

Until one day, when someone found him and asked him if he would escape from this broken continent and start a new life, he agreed without even thinking about it.

But today is the scheduled time. The only thing that surprises Cary is that he will meet so many people here who want to go wandering in the distant world.

People stared anxiously and nervously at the light blue sea in front of them, and they didn't even dare to blink, as if they were afraid that they would miss something in just the blink of an eye.

Just when people were getting impatient with waiting, three black spots suddenly appeared on the coastline in the distance, and as time went by, in people's field of vision, those three black spots became more and more clear. It's... a cargo ship, and it's also a... bridge that carries them to the land of new life.

The chaotic war has spread to the entire Western Continent, whether it is the "Forest of Whispers" of the elves, or the "Holy City" of the Western Holy See, which is known as the "Holy City" that has never fallen for a thousand years-Marie Qiaoya, all of them are naked. In that endless conquest.

Under this endless black sky, no race or force in the entire continent can avoid this war.

At this time, only the ocean is the only resting place.Although, like the mainland, there are countless battles in the ocean, but compared to the continent that is in full swing at this time, it is simply... a paradise on earth.

Above the endless ocean, three brand-new cargo ships carry hundreds of people who have been deeply affected by the war, heading towards the paradise in their hearts.

Kari followed the excited crowd in a daze, and entered the cargo hold under the guidance of a group of men in black armor who got off from the three cargo ships.

Kari and the other three were arranged to live in the same room, and he didn't care about the other three. After entering the room, he lay on the lower bunk closest to the door in a daze, and then fell asleep.

In fact, not only Kari, but almost all the hundreds of people who boarded the ship were in this dazed state. The endless flames of war deprived them of too many things. Partners, the originally peaceful and peaceful life, are drifting away from them.

War after war has broken too many families. Every day, many fresh lives will die forever, and countless relatives and lovers will be separated. Constantly oppressing people, from the initial anger, unwillingness and even resistance, but after experiencing the ruthless pouring of blood and anger, people have become more and more indifferent and numb, until they are as confused as they are now.

The hundreds of people on these three cargo ships are just a microcosm of the countless people who have been persecuted by the war on the entire Western Continent but are helpless. After all, the war has destroyed too many, the beauty and kindness of the past However, under the ravages of the ruthless war, it has become so vulnerable.

Kari slept soundly, perhaps because he finally escaped from that sad place and could start a new life.

It's just that when he woke up in a daze, there were two more men in the room at some point.

Kari's body tensed up instinctively at first, but then he relaxed again. He had not thought that the people who took them to the ocean had bad intentions, but for these skinny people, they had no money at all. As far as people who have material resources are concerned, there is really nothing to be plundered by the other party.

Thinking of this, Kari instantly relaxed a lot, and then looked curiously at the two men in front of him.

Completely different from the murderous intent and depressive feeling faintly revealed by the black-armored men who commanded them to board the ship before, these two men feel particularly friendly to people, making people want to get closer involuntarily, with smiles on their faces. It's like the spring breeze blowing on the face, giving people a sense of warmth and stability.

Seeing that Kari woke up, one of the men turned serious and said: "First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Tarim, and I belong to the No. [-] Agency under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Tell me about your current situation."

"Nowadays, the Western Continent is turbulent, and wars continue one after another. The few of you should have fled to the sea to avoid the war."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tarim continued: "But I'm afraid that you have never thought about leaving a familiar place, what do you rely on to survive?"

Hearing what Tarim said, several people were also stunned for a moment. The sea does not need land, it is a brand new world, and they don't understand it at all.

"Since you said that? You must have arranged work for us, right?"

Hearing this sentence, Tarim frowned, subconsciously looked along the source of the voice, and found that the speaker was a boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, obviously a little surprised, but this emotion only lasted for less than a breath time has passed.

"That's right, our three cargo ships belong to the "Pirate Paradise", and the gentleman in the "Pirate Paradise" has a kind heart, and specially sent ships to accept refugees like you, otherwise, you are afraid that you will never be able to escape the broken land place."

"Now the "Pirate Paradise" is in a period of great development, and it is the time when there is an urgent need for employment. If you choose to stay in the "Pirate Paradise" to work, as long as you don't be lazy, you will not only be able to get enough food, but you will also be paid a lot of money. "

"What about the specific job position?" After a moment of silence, one of the oldest, a man in his early forties, asked first.

"Most of them are simple physical labor. Of course, if you have special skills, you will naturally be allocated separately, and the food provided and the wages allocated will be much more." Seeing the other party's question, Tarim Answer immediately.

"Okay, count me in. I used to be a stonemason and have nearly 20 years of work experience. I should be able to do another assignment, right?"

Seeing the uneasy expression on the man's face, Tarim said, "Naturally, what the "Pirate Paradise" lacks most at present is skilled talents like you. Three to five times the wages of ordinary people will be paid, and in addition, a certain amount of meat will be provided in the daily food."

"Uncle Tarim, are these the only jobs? Isn't there an army in the "Pirate Paradise"?"

"It's natural. As the fastest newly rising force in the sea, the strength of "Pirate Paradise" is definitely more than you want, but little guy, why do you ask this?" Seeing Cary's curious baby, Tarim also responded with a smile.

"In this case, can I join the army?"

Seeing the hopeful light in the boy's eyes, Tarim was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "This is naturally possible, as long as people between the ages of sixteen and forty can choose to join the "Pirate Paradise" Moreover, due to the particularity of the army, even the lowest-level soldiers are paid much higher than ordinary workers. However, once you join the army, your life is completely out of your hands. In addition, once an order is given, no matter how strong the enemy is, you must not back down."

"Little guy, once you join the army, it is equivalent to handing over your life to the hands of the devil. I advise you not to have such thoughts."

"There are a lot of people missing in various positions on the "Pirate Paradise". Although the work is a bit tough, it can guarantee your safety." Tarim looked at the pure and clean eyes in the pupils of the boy in front of him, and kindly persuaded him .

But at this moment, he heard a low moan from the boy's mouth, and then something seemed to break out of his heart...

"The weak are useless after all."

"The weak are useless after all..." The deep and subtle voice came from the boy's mouth, and it seemed that there was endless sadness and resentment in it, but in the end it only brought out a faint sigh.

The faint words kept echoing in Tarim's ears, and the bloody picture in the memory that had been dusty for a long time was revealed again with the boy's unintentional words.

Taking a deep breath, Tarim tried his best to suppress his emotional fluctuations, then looked at the boy's firm and decisive eyes and sighed and said, "Are you sure?"

"En." The voice was not loud, but the firm attitude in it was beyond doubt.

"Okay, what about you two?" The other two men looked at each other, and then they both chose to be ordinary laborers. They had no special skills, and they didn't want to join the army. They just wanted to live the rest of their lives in peace.

"Okay, let's go here. When you arrive on the island, someone will record your identities and issue corresponding identity stamps." Seeing that the man beside him completed the record, Tarim nodded to everyone and left. here.

On this boundless ocean, the three cargo ships seemed too small. It had been more than ten days since they set off from the port of the "Weimanda Empire", but they still hadn't reached their destination.

"Master Meren, there are five small ships approaching us quickly, and judging from their flags, they should be pirate ships."

In the spacious room, a figure sat cross-legged, and there was no other sound except for the faint sound of breathing, but as time went by, the sound became louder and louder, and it became more and more urgent. There seemed to be bursts of thunder in the body.

But just as the thunder became louder, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded quickly, and then a slightly noisy sound reached the ears of the silent figure.

Following the sound of this voice, the bursts of thunder and lightning that emanated from Melen's body also quickly became smaller, and within a few breaths of time, it was almost inaudible.

"What's going on, isn't the flag of the "Storm Pirates" hanging out? Why do cats and dogs dare to come and provoke us?"

The eyes opened suddenly, and there seemed to be countless thunder roaring inside, and it took a long time before it slowly calmed down.

"Lord Mellen, we are currently on the "Tianluo Sea Territory". The other party should be a newly established small pirate group. They may have heard of the reputation of the "Pirate Paradise", but for us, the "Wind Pirate Group", only I’m afraid I don’t know.” Seeing the other party speak, the black-armored soldier who came in to inform also had a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

"In that case, let the other party know the prestige of our "Storm Pirates"."

"Yes, Lord Melen." With the other party's authorization, the black-armored soldier's eyes began to flash with a dangerous light.
