    The Kare Mountains are the natural north-south dividing line of the Blackson Human Corridor, and are also the most majestic mountains in the Blackson Human Corridor. This mountain range that stretches from east to west stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers. Its west side extends to the inaccessible place on the map.  The uninhabited area in the wild is represented in black or gray. No one knows where its end is, and its east side extends directly to the seaside.  This article is written by .  .  Initial release

    The heavy rains for several days have shrouded a thousand-mile radius of the Kalei Mountains with a layer of fog. In front of this natural chasm, a rolling flow of people evacuating from the north crowded in the northern part of the Kalei Mountains, trying to cross this chasm.  , at this moment, in the northern part of the Kale Mountains, there are refugee camps everywhere. Where the largest number of refugees gather, the gray refugee camp tents stretch for hundreds of kilometers. The refugees who have arrived before have not yet left, and new refugees have arrived.  Flooded in

    Refugees are dying every day, some from natural disasters, some from violence, hunger, disease, cold, murder, robbery, and rape are raging in the refugee camps

    Two days ago, at the Port of Karle in the Ungawa Federation in the far west of the Kale Mountains, the port defenders had just suppressed a popular riot. This riot resulted in the death of more than 50,000 people.

    Because they were stranded at the port for a long time and could not leave, driven by hunger and fear, two days ago, on August 27, a large number of refugees began to rush into the Port of Karle regardless of order and grab the opportunity to board the ship.  People know when the bloodshed started. When the basic order collapsed and the refugees who boarded the ship began to violently hijack the ship, the tragedy occurred.

    The police who were there to maintain order were overwhelmed by the surging refugees.  There were serious stampedes, refugees vying for a spot on the ship were pushed into the icy water, and crew members of hijacked ships were killed by refugees' daggers.  The chaos in Port Karle eventually spread to the entire city. After the Golden Pearl, a passenger ship of more than 2,000 tons parked in the port, was controlled by a group of refugees, it collided with another ship parked in the port and capsized.  The bloody repression began.

    Rulers use iron and blood means to maintain their rule. Such things are nothing new anywhere, but when such things happen at this time, it is even more tragic.  Under the threat of the demon army, the human army is suppressing the human refugees. The implication of this is.  It goes without saying - these are chaotic times, real chaotic times, where all order has given way to the instinct of survival.  All axioms.  They all began to retreat behind their fists and swords.

    The continuous heavy rain had not yet washed away the blood stains condensed in the Port of Karle. The bodies of the refugees who died during the suppression were directly thrown into the sea by the defenders. No one cared about the lives of those people, and new refugees poured into Karle.  city¡­¡­

    A large number of refugees are also gathered in Gusibe in the Vidulac Alliance, which is more than 1,200 kilometers away from the city of Karle. Gusibe has a "Gusibe Trail" that can traverse the Kale Mountains. Those who do not have transportation to cross  The refugees in the Carr¨¦ Mountains hope to leave through this trail.

    "We have now entered the rainy season. The Gusibe Trail is no longer passable and many roads have been cut off. The flash floods in the past two days have killed many people. Don't go any further. If you go in like this, you will die. You can't get out.  In the Carr¨¦ Mountains" Near the entrance of the Gusibe Trail, an officer of the Vidillac Alliance stood on a high platform, soaked to the skin. In the heavy rain, he held an iron trumpet and shouted loudly at the top of his lungs.  Shouting, preventing the refugees from entering the Gusibe Trail.

    Some refugees stopped hesitantly, while more refugees continued to enter the Gusibe Trail numbly and silently. When passing by the young officer, no one even raised their heads to look at the young officer.

    With a sad look in the eyes of the young officer, he watched the large numbers of refugees entering the Goosbey Trail with a simple map in their hands. These people, in this season, could finally cross the Goosebe Trail.  There may be less than one tenth of the people in the Thunder Mountain Range.

    ¡°And in Ampton, the capital of the Free Business Alliance, more than 3,000 kilometers away from Goosbey, more refugees gathered.

    Ampton is the largest and most famous airport city and commercial city in the northern part of the Blackson Human Corridor. This city and Millbay, located in the south of the Carr¨¦ Mountains, are both cities of the Free Business Alliance. The two are separated by the Carr¨¦ Mountains.  Cities connected by air routes support the prosperity of the entire free commercial alliance.

    Ampton once operated the largest and busiest air route across the Carr Mountains in the northern part of the Blackson Human Corridor. At this moment, compared to before, Ampton's air traffic volume is more than ten times busier than before the Holy War. Countless  The airship flew from the south, landed in Ampton, and transported the refugees here

    After the tragedy in Port Carle, the garrison to maintain order in Ampton has been increased.Adding to the 300,000 people, three layers of barbed wire fences were pulled up outside several airship bases in the entire Hampton. In the heavy rain, densely packed refugees crowded outside each airship base, looking eagerly at the sky.  Every time an airship lands, it will cause a commotion among the refugees surrounding the airship base, and countless people will squeeze towards the entrance of the airship base.

    "Those with military honors certificates will be given priority to leaveThose with military honors certificates will be given priority to leave" The human wall set up by the garrison outside the airship base waved their wooden sticks in the heavy rain, and unceremoniously chased away those who wanted to rush into the airship base.  The refugees were beaten to a bloody head. Those who held red military certificates in their hands were singled out from the crowd by the garrison and allowed to enter the airship base first and leave first when the next batch of airships arrived.

    "Ah, my Military Invalid Certificate, my Military Invalid Certificate, someone took away the Military Invalid Certificate that my husband left for me" A woman wearing a poncho and holding a five or six-year-old girl looked grim at the entrance of the airship base.  She started crying loudly. In the chaos just now, when the woman took out her Veterans Certificate and raised it, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed it before the woman could react.  Take away her Veterans Certificate.

    A crossbow arrow was shot from the arrow tower above the entrance of the airship base, killing a man who was trying to sneak into the base with a veteran certificate on the spot.  Qi took two steps back.

    A lieutenant officer quickly walked down from the arrow tower, picked up the red book from the hands of the man who fell to the ground and had been stabbed in the heart by an arrow, and then pulled out the tearful woman in the crowd.  He put the veteran's certificate in the woman's hand, whispered a few words to a soldier beside him, and asked the soldier to personally take the woman holding the child to the base.

    "Anyone who dares to snatch the Military Invalid Certificate will die" The lieutenant officer looked at the refugees with a murderous look on his face.

    If in the previous Free Business Alliance, a soldier killed a citizen at will, it would definitely cause an uproar, but this time, no one seems to care about such a thing.

    Soon after the woman holding the child entered the airship base, a medium-sized airship flew from the north and landed at the base in the heavy rain to provide supplies.

    A few minutes later, the woman received news that a medium-sized airship was leaving soon, and there was just a spot available for the woman and the child she was holding to board. The woman held her child in her arms with great gratitude.  , as a soldier from the airship base came to the medium-sized airship.

    When the woman boarded the airship, a person on the airship was about to get off. Several people, including the captain of the airship, were reluctant to send the person off the airship.

    "Mr. Peter, don't you need to think about it again? If you are willing to protect us from leaving, our families have discussed it and we can pay you 2,000 gold coins after arriving at the destination!" A well-dressed man with a slight build  The fat man looked helplessly at the man who was about to leave the airship. His name was Peter. He was a young man in his mid-twenties. He had an ordinary long sword hanging on his waist. He looked very ordinary and belonged to that kind of station.  The kind of person who won't leave a deep impression on you in front of you.

    Hearing this, the woman holding the child tightened her heart. She finally knew how she and her child were in that position. Someone was leaving the airship here, and the officers of the airship base and the airship were  After negotiating with someone, she was allowed to go up. At this moment, although this idea was very selfish, she was very afraid that the man named Peter would change his mind again.

    "When you get here, you are almost safe. The power of the demon army cannot reach here yet. It will take less than two days to cross the Kalei Mountains on the airship. There is no need for me to stay on the airship!" shouted  Peter waved his hand, rejecting the man's proposal.

    Everyone was trying to keep the man named Peter, but Peter remained unmoved and declined everyone's requests.

    "Peter, wewill we see each other again?" A young blond girl of seventeen or eighteen years old appeared at the hatch of the airship, looking at the man who was about to leave the airship with a look of admiration and reluctance, and hesitated to speak.  Still, there is a tenderness like water in the girl's pure eyes, which makes people know her thoughts at a glance.

    Everyone who sent Peter away didn't speak, but just watched quietly. Including the girl's father, they didn't speak at this time. During the two days on the airship, everyone, including the girl's father,  Both she and her mother understood what the girl was thinking - women would worship heroes and strong men, especially the kind of man who had saved her life and could give her a great sense of security in a crisis.
