Chapter 84: The Gate of Sorrow

Looking at Swell's departure, Chen Xi turned around and continued to watch the ship disappear into the end of sight, the people here are just those young soldiers who fight for glory! The veterans all have their own obsessions that they have to stick to! Even Darius is nothing more than this!

Chen Xi stood at the Fisherman's Wharf, the sun slowly approached the west, slowly turning orange and red, the sunset reflected the sea, flashing I don't know if it was a school of fish or the sea!

"Teacher, go back!"

Chen Xi was stunned, and next to him, he was looking at the ocean, as well as Bradna.

"Well, let's go back!"

Stepping on the pier, the crunch of the wooden planks tells the fisherman's ordinary seasonal reincarnation, just like the old ferry, the sound of a long whistle, waking people up from the dark trench!

"What's going to eat tonight?"

Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Bradna, I don't know why, he didn't care about what he ate at night, but he just wanted to ask!

"Probably eating fish! The fishermen caught a lot of cod today!"

"Silver cod? Speaking of which, we bought a lot! I thought it was coming from the Holuck River!

"yes!"

"Then we won't eat fish! We'll eat ......."

The voice gradually disappeared on the dock, and at this moment, as if the family had returned home, a bland conversation, a bland ...... Night.

The dull night passed quickly, and Chen Xi finally ate silver cod, and the whole camp cooked with silver cod.

In the midst of meditation, the night slowly disappeared, Chen Xi opened his eyes, looked at Bradna lying next to him, and removed her head from his cross-legged legs.

Standing up, her somewhat numb legs moved away, and Bradna slowly woke up.

"Teacher, I slept so comfortably last night!"

"Okay! Don't say anything misleading! You sleep comfortably, your pillow is not comfortable!"

Saying that, Chen Xi moved his legs again, if it weren't for the long-term meditation that Chen Xi would have adapted to such depressing leg movements, his legs would have been numb for at least a morning today!

"Pack your things, you're leaving!"

The team went on the road from the fishing town, no longer a ship, and continued to put all the unloaded things on the ship on top of the carriages, the magician needed to meditate and cultivate, Chen Xi and they had three more cars to themselves!

The road here is far more rugged than before, the mountain wall is steep, and the road built has been built along the mountain wall environment as much as possible, but the danger is still there.

Luckily, this isn't the steepest place, and the legion will pass through a village called Trewell, and from there, it will go up the steeper mountain wall and finally reach its destination!

Time passed day by day, and at the most dangerous time, Chen Xi did not dare to take everyone to sit in the carriage, they all rode on the horses, and crossed the not wide mountain road.

Fifteen days later, the team reached Trewell, and the rest of the journey was less than a quarter, but it took seven days!

Seven days have passed, and the legion has reached its destination, Lokstola, the westernmost point of the entire empire, the Gate of Sorrow!

This is the most ground-level ridge in the Huirui Mountains, and the most precipitous outpost in the Empire!

Here, facing the attack of Demacia all the time, a thousand soldiers stationed all year round are in danger, but half of them will die in three years!

The Gate of Sorrow, the most costly battle in the Empire's journey, lies ahead!

Here, there are memorial stone monuments of tens of thousands of soldiers, their corpses, mixed with smoke and dust, rose into the sky in the fierce fire!

The general stood in front of the stone monument, and behind him were four thousand soldiers, no matter what kind of attire they were, no matter how different they looked, they all stood like one person at this time, paying homage to the most glorious soldier of the empire!

"General, let's go to the outpost!"

A few minutes later, the commander of the outpost said to Darius, who had put down his noble salute, that although there was no wind or snow here, the humidity of the south-coming sea breeze had covered everyone's faces with a layer of mist.

"Hmm!"

The army began to camp on the huge school grounds, and the outposts were built on the ridges, where except for the imposing buildings facing Demacia, the rest of the buildings were not large, and if they could have been long, they could have housed two thousand people.

But the only school field opened up was large enough, and on the flat ground embedded in the mountain wall, military camps were slowly erected, and the smoke of the bonfire was slowly rising, and this would be the last place where they could relax! Further west, everything could take their lives!

The midday sun curled through the smoke and set in the west, drowning in the dark clouds halfway through!

The campfires were extinguished, but as you were familiar with the unpredictable weather, the tents were not protected from the torrential rain.

When it was completely dark, the rain stopped again, and the bright moon stood in the sky, taking the place of the vanishing sun.

The bonfire was raised again, and according to the time, it was still about eight o'clock in the evening, and the last safe time, the soldiers could not just let it go!

As Sver said, after this gate of sorrow, all the soldiers who died in battle, the lucky ones, will be buried together by the victorious Noxian legions, and the unfortunate ones will be burned to ashes by the victorious Demacians!

In the bonfire, everyone was excited, using noise to cover the uneasiness in the depths of their eyes, they were all elites here, but they were not dead soldiers!

From the moment they came here, they knew that half of these people who could go back were all favored by God!

Because the Gate of Sorrow has never been a suitable battlefield for retreat!

Poking up a piece of barbecue meat on the barbed wire fence with a wooden skewer, Chen Xi tasted it slowly, he was at a loss, on this continent, he said that he was just an outsider, he could only take his life and fight for everything he wanted!

When he returns from this battle, he will have to face the choice of association, but the mysterious appearance of the other party does not look like a chess player who has the upper hand.

And if you choose the side of the council, you are more likely to face dangerous assassinations, and you may not see what you are really looking for!

This is a game of fate, Chen Xi is cautious like a multiple-choice question in the college entrance examination room to determine important scores, but he has no clue!

Pouring a sip of liquor into her throat, the hot pain pulled Chen Xi back to reality, pinching her face, Britz was pulling Lorain to fight for wine, Covey had already fallen to the ground, Bradna sat quietly beside her, watching the little red light of the flame rise in distraction, and the ashes were blown high into the sky with the last trace of brightness, and finally seemed to merge into the starry sky.

"Nana, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid!"

"Yes, who is not afraid of death?

Chen Xi smiled.

"I'm afraid I'll never see my teacher again!"

Bradna looked at Chen Xi with her eyes in the eyes, not at all like joking.

"Silly sister! The teacher will protect you! I won't let you die!

"I believe you!"

Bradna nodded, leaned on Chen Xi's shoulder, closed her eyes, and on the other side, the two of them looked at this side with wide eyes, and were glared back by Chen Xi!
