Chapter 821: Song of the Keeper
Although the attack of the demon clan is gradually retreating, even if it has not completely withdrawn from this land, most of them are already dormant, and there are no large-scale siege events, so it can be said that the human race has once again held this land. 81 Chinese ?(1)(8).(8)8(8)1?Z?? (viii) C (viii) O?M
In addition, I got the news that in the ancient battlefield, the human side seems to have the upper hand, so the demon clan sent more heavenly demons to go, so this time the demon clan's attack is basically over temporarily.
But in this demon attack, the human race also paid a heavy price, one city after another was breached, countless resources were plundered, and countless defenders were sacrificed because of this.
There are countless sentry posts in Endless Changya, and in the attack of the demon clan, each outpost will be breached, and the warships of the demon clan will tear open the defense line of Endless Changya, and then begin to invade this land.
The Defenders are all on the front line of the Endless Frontier, and the Demon Clan's attack is to step on their corpses first, and when the Demon Clan has begun to attack the human city, it proves that the Defenders have been killed and injured countless times.
According to incomplete statistics, in this demon clan attack, there were more than 500,000 dead defenders alone.
This is not counting the martial artists like Cheng Qinglin who are not defenders, although many of them are attracted by the reward, but they are also sacrificed to defend this land.
The dead civilians and the plundered cities are not yet counted.
There are also the dilapidated rivers and mountains, which are shocking.
Therefore, in this war, there is no real victory or defeat, there is no too grand celebration, but there needs to be a grand sacrifice.
After Li Chen returned to Zongya, he also met Cheng Qinglin and the others again, and now the team that came with him now has less than half of the number left.
Although Cheng Qinglin was fine, the other half-step True Spirit Jin Yu in the team was already unfortunate, at that time, these were all people who had talked to him before, but it was only a few days, but it was already Yin and Yang.
The cruelty of the demon clan's attack this time can be seen.
For Cheng Qinglin and the others, he couldn't do anything, he just quietly gave Cheng Qinglin some pills, and it didn't live up to an acquaintance, but whether he could break through the true spirit still depended on the other party's own creation.
After all, the step of the true spirit, even with the assistance of the elixir, may not be able to break through, breaking through the true spirit is much more difficult than breaking through the Returning Yuan Realm, especially the older you get, the more difficult it is to break through.
……
On this night, the main hall of the entire endless long journey seemed very quiet, and the guards arrived on the square early, and a sad atmosphere shrouded the sky, all silently mourning for the human beings who died in this great war.
This is the memorial presided over by the general ya, except for those who went to the ancient battlefield and were stationed in dangerous cities, the other shouya elders all attended the memorial solemnly.
Li Chen was standing on the edge of the cliff at this time, looking at the large number of silent humans in the clearing, and he also felt silent at this time.
Many of these people may have started out for the endless resources of the Endless Journey, but after becoming the Guardian, they will naturally feel the responsibility on their shoulders.
This is to fight against the invasion of the demon clan, for the land under our feet, for the family and friends behind us. If we also cower and retreat, when the demon clan is raging on this land, how can we have a place to stand?
This is the land where we all live, and everyone in this land has the responsibility to fight against the demon clan who invade this land.
"My generation was born in Xuanhuang, born here, grew up here, my generation should also guard here with my body, now there are heroes and heroes side by side with my generation, and then die first, the deceased is gone, the living should inherit the will of the dead, resist the demon clan outside the long ......"
"Our generation is here, we should pay tribute to the deceased, our generation should continue to be loyal to this land, there will always be someone to take care of this territory, there will be immortal reproduction and rebirth on this land, and there will be no successor for those who guard ......the land."
"The body of our generation is the sentry post on the long journey, the flesh and blood of our generation is the Great Wall of Xuanhuang, and the will of our generation is the monument of mankind. The souls of the dead are immortal, and the bones of the buried are immortal......"
There is Elder Shouya who is leading everyone to read the memorial to the dead, sentence by sentence, as if knocking into the hearts of the people, and many people are also in tears when they follow the thought.
Even Li Chen felt touched in his heart at this time, his eyes were slightly red, the deceased is gone, the living should inherit the will of the deceased, and the defender will not have no successor.
He is also a Keeper of the Frontier, and since he swore to become a Keeper, he seems to have been infected by the heroic soul of this endless long career for thousands of years, and has become more and more integrated into the role of a Keeper.
After reading the long prayer text, the crowd began to light the sky lanterns.
The sky lantern is made of bamboo, and then a white paper bag is glued to it, the bottom is small and the top is large, it looks like a hut, and a simple small lamp is placed in the middle of the bottom frame, and the small lamp burns the martial energy or true yuan spiritual power of the warrior, and it will rise after being lit.
There are also legends that can make the souls of the deceased fly into the sky with the lanterns, and there are two sayings about flying into the sky, one is to become an immortal and become a god, and the other is to watch over the land from above.
Under a bright moon, an orange sky lantern rises above Changya at this time, floating above the blue sky, gradually illuminating this Changya, interweaving a picturesque beauty.
Under the sky lantern, after the beginning, the low song of the Frontier Keeper gradually sounded, majestic and tragic, like the roaring wind on the edge of the long cliff, like the waves rushing in the demon sea.
This is the song of mourning for the dead, this is the song of watching for the living, this is the song of the watcher:
You can hear the wind blowing here every day, and you can never see the flowers of the prosperous era here.
I worry about the attack of the demon clan here every day, and I never know the concern of my relatives here.
Because I guard the endless long life, I guard the flowers of each season.
I used to have a hoarse voice, and I used to think about the tea in the teahouse.
I've also thought about not having Jin Ge and Iron Horse, and I've also thought about giving up the struggle of penance.
But this is the world of our human race, and the yellow land is picturesque.
……
If I don't have a firm foot, how can I resist the conquest of the demon clan.
I want to stay at the end of the world without sunset, and I want this prosperous world to be prosperous all the time.
I wish I was covered with scars, and I wouldn't let you see the trampling of the demons.
I am not guarding the long life, I am guarding our home.
I'm not afraid of the howling wind, I'm not afraid of the ferocious demon clan, but I'm afraid that one day I'll be white.
Don't be afraid to grow old here, and don't be afraid to die here......
Please let me keep my life and bury my bones for a long time!
(This song of the Guardian is a lyric written by myself, and now I want to find someone to sing it, I don't know if there is a better singing voice among my readers?
