The content of the letter is straightforward and brief.

"——If you haven't left Leiden yet, leave as soon as possible."

If Verdon's letter had not arrived before, Luye might have considered it a threat from the colonel.

But now it seems that this is not a threat, but a warning.

Lu Ye made a decision immediately.

That is to take Violet and sneak away first as a token of respect.

Nothing else, just highlight one word, from the heart.

It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist.

I happened to still have some money on hand, and about thirty kilometers south of Port Leyden was Tasia, a small town.

Although they didn't know what kind of offensive measures Verdon would take, they mentioned in the letter that they had "received accurate information."

Of course, this is definitely not the information provided by Lu Ye.

The most information he provided was about the colonel, hoping that it would be great if the other side sent someone to assassinate the old dog.

at this time.

A light blue interface pops up in front of you.

[Side mission: released]

[Mission goal: to prevent Verwin’s special forces from raiding Leiden and causing indiscriminate massacre]

[Reward: 10,000 points]

Luye watched silently as the blue light disappeared.

After a few minutes of silence, he slowly spoke:

"Violet."

"exist?"

"Pack your things and let's leave here tonight."

"Leave...are you going somewhere?"

"Go south."

Violet tilted her head slightly.

In her opinion, as long as Lu Ye is by her side, it will be the same wherever she goes.

Although it was only seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was already dark.

There are fewer coachmen on the streets and they don't pull so far, and most of the railways are impassable due to the war.

Hiking is not part of Luye's consideration either.

Because there is another means of transportation available.

"Violet, let's go to the port."

Lu Ye said softly.

Violet looked at him curiously, wondering why this young man looked so sad.

…………

The street lights on the street gave off a pale light.

Different from the morning, there are still people on the street in the evening, and there are also drunkards carrying bottles and shouting everywhere.

Most of the shops opened after noon, and because of the recent increase in crime rates, there were soldiers patrolling the roads.

When passing by that familiar intersection, someone suddenly stopped Lu Ye.

"Hey, are you going for a walk at night?"

The person who greeted me was Mello, who was carrying a bucket and wiping the cabinets in the store with a handkerchief.

She came to work in the old woman's clothing store in the afternoon.

After all, it is a daily salary, and the more you earn, the better.

"Want to come in and sit down?"

In the store, the old woman was also saying hello, with a kind smile on her face.

"No, no need," Lu Ye smiled bitterly, "We have something to do..."

"Oh, it's an emergency, so I won't stay here. Come and sit with me when you have time. I just got a batch of new clothes recently. Little Violet will look beautiful in them."

"They are still in stock," Mero couldn't help but say, "No one will come to buy beautiful dresses now, so it's better to save money."

"Yes Yes……"

"Well, I will come often if I have the chance."

After saying goodbye to the two people in the clothing store, they continued walking along the street.

Luye met some acquaintances.

For example, the aunt selling bread on the street corner, the hawker selling fruit, the bartender at the bar you frequent, etc...

Some of them greeted Lu Ye and Violet, while others just passed by, just like passers-by.

There are more people at the port.

After all, Leiden is a country that relies on trade, and economic exchanges must not be interrupted.

The source of Leiden's economic income is mainly concentrated on shipping and the development of surrounding marine resources, which makes its foreign export trade competitiveness unparalleled among others. Therefore, during war times, various ports will be busier than usual because the country is in urgent need of a large amount of supplies.

It took Lu Ye half an hour to find a shuttle boat. The boat promised to take Lu Ye to some cities in the south, but the fee was a little more than twice the usual price.

Lu Ye agreed.

However, the captain said that the ship would dock at the port tonight to unload cargo and replenish some supplies, while allowing the crew to relax on land.

So no matter how urgent it is, we have to wait until tomorrow evening to set off.

Luye handed the money into the hands of the boatman.

The bow of the ship roughly counted the number, and nodded after confirming that there was no problem.

"Then tomorrow afternoon at seven o'clock, we won't wait if it's late."

"good."

The bow of the ship left.

Standing on the dock, Lu Ye exhaled.

White gas slowly dispersed in the air.

Everywhere you look, there are traces of people.

The people unloading the cargo were panting and unloading bags or boxes one after another from the ship; a vendor not far away got into an argument with an old man because of the increase in the price of snacks; normally well-dressed men walked arm in arm from the tavern

They came out, howling tuneless songs, while the wife of one of them was holding a rolling pin and attacking menacingly; young boys and girls were walking on the beach in the distance, confiding their love to each other.

No matter how difficult it is, your will has been worn away by the war, and you are in constant fear all day long, you still have to go on living your life.

But Lu Ye stood in the crowd and felt his hands and feet were cold.

Maybe two days, maybe three days.

In short, in a short time, the people in the port will become corpses, and they still don't know it.

The taskbar with light blue lights reminded Lu Ye all the time that this urban area full of life would turn into a bloody hell.

My stomach felt like it was being stirred by someone's hands.

Lu Ye really wanted to save these people.

But how could he fight against the entire Verwinter army?

Side quests are not mandatory, and there will be no penalty if you don't do them.

But that special intuition told Lu Ye——

To go means to die.

Escape means life.

This consequence is completely foreseeable. How can one fight against a special assault force from Verwinter that is always well-equipped?

People in the army would not believe Lu Ye's nonsense alone, so what if they did?

Their people are stationed in Kenny, and at most they can only strengthen their defenses. It is impossible to go deep into the swamp to detect enemy intelligence.

The past time seemed to reappear before my eyes.

During the spring outing that year, the young Luye lied and said he had a stomachache, so he survived.

During these ten years, in the dead of night, he would sometimes think of——
