Chapter 38 Sacrifice

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and after several hours of continuous battle from afternoon to evening, everyone was deeply tired.

However, when the winter snow came, the Cangnan soldiers who still had spare strength dragged their bodies to tidy up the battlefield.

It is unkind to expose the corpses of the martyrs to the wilderness.

After Zuo Yin and his master returned to the Dead Dragon Pass, the soldiers in the mountains were obviously stunned.

Most of the warriors who had experienced the battle had faint tears in this way, grieving for the departure of their all.

Bai Changzhi held Wang Xun's headless corpse, Zuo Yin held his head, and the two of them were surrounded by the crowd that gradually walked over.

Wu Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, looked at the scene of the Dead Dragon closing down, and sighed rarely.

Gongsun Tao, the commander of the guard battalion, slammed his fist on the giant pillar beside him, feeling a deep sense of frustration because of his lack of strength.

The sound of rustling footsteps came, as if trampling on people's hearts, and the crowd that had been gathered in a heap consciously dispersed.

But it is Du Wanli, the capital of the forest department, and Cui Jiuling, the capital of the wind department.

The two of them looked at Bai Changzhi, who was silent in front of them, and sighed slightly in their hearts.

But the two of them reached out in unison.

Cui Jiuling's hand was a pitch-black spear, which was different from the spear of the leopard rider, this spear had intricate golden lines on it, which was extremely exquisite.

And in Du Wanli's hand was a blue big bow, and most of the fire tigers who saw this familiar big bow from a distance were a little emotional.

Of course, they knew the final end, not long after Li Taibai defeated the two Guiyi Realm powerhouses, ten black-clothed men with swords suddenly appeared on the west side of the battlefield, brazenly attacking the Autumn Wing of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan in the midst of the chaos.

At that time, Qiu Yi was afraid of Li Taibai and didn't dare to use all his strength, for fear of attracting the attention of that person.

Therefore, he was successfully surrounded and suppressed by these black-clothed people whose strength ranged from Qi Fusion to Spirit Channeling Realm.

A strong man with no mood lost a right hand like this, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Of course, the man in black only survived three people in the end, which can be regarded as a heavy casualty.

Cui Jiuling walked up to Bai Changzhi, sighed slightly, and said:

"In this alien attack, among the four major patriarchs, Chen Ye, the patriarch of the Ling Snake Clan, and Yu Lian, the patriarch of the Mobai Clan, were all killed, and Qiu Yi, the patriarch of the Tianhuang Clan, was seriously injured."

"The Huangzhu clan has not appeared, and the main force of the leopard cavalry has suffered more than half of the casualties, except for the main force of the four major clans, the death of ordinary alien races is more than "

Before Cui Jiuling finished speaking, Bai Changzhi stretched out his hand directly, and Cui Jiuling involuntarily stopped talking.

Bai Changzhi's evil eyes appeared from the messy hair, and he looked directly at Cui Jiuling:

"Lao Cui, these things, you will tell Gong Wu in a while, if you are not busy, accompany me to place Lao Wang's body first, and then it will be cremated."

Cui Jiuling has always been handsome and light-hearted, but at this time, there is a hint of heaviness.

Regardless of the blood, he directly took Wang Xun's head from Zuo Yin's hands.

Bai Changzhi only remembered his apprentice at this time, and he grinned:

"Boy, the realm has improved very quickly, now that you can be a captain, you can go back first."

Knowing that his master was going to stitch up Wang Xundutong's corpse, Zuo Yin bowed his fist and retreated.

Both Fire and Wind thought about walking behind in unison, and thousands of mountain soldiers followed closely behind.

After returning to the camp, Zuo Yin found that the food had been placed in the middle of the camp tent, thinking that the chefs in Cangnan had prepared it in advance.

Given that this was the end of the war, the meal was much more plentiful than ever, but not everyone had an appetite.

The entire ten teams had an inexplicable dull aura, Zuo Yin counted, and in the entire camp, there were only eleven people left.

Compared with the twenty-two before the war, the number of troops was reduced by half.

When the personal guard battalion advances, it is often the front unit of the entire Fire Tiger, so the casualties are relatively the heaviest.

Shen Mu was originally carefully wiping the riding knife in his hand, but after seeing Zuo Yin come in, Shen Mu raised his head and said:

"Feel like it's eating, and I'll have to tidy up the battlefield tomorrow."

Zuo Yin nodded slightly, he knew that Shen Mu must be panicked now.

After Lao Xiao sacrificed himself to save him, Shen Mu has been a little silent, which is understandable.

At that time, he Zuo Yin was also lacking in skills, but thinking that now that he was in the late stage of body forging, Zuo Yin was a little confident.

Only then did he have a moment to feel his body.

There was a trace of air flow in the meridians, and Zuo Yin knew that this was an omen of the Qi Convergence Realm.

After he officially stepped into the Qi Fusion Realm, these small air currents in the meridians would turn into a Juanjuan stream and even a big river, and his strength would be greatly improved at that time.

It's just a pity, Zuo Yin shook his head, Yu Lian, the patriarch of the Mobai clan who killed Lao Xiao, actually died in the chaos, and I heard that it was the credit of the elite of the Wind Rangers, the Wind Falcon.

Zuo Yin sighed again, the alien race has many plans, Cangnan is not, judging from the casualties of the top powerhouses on both sides this time, the casualties of the alien race are even more severe.

However, it was also due to the sudden appearance of Li Taibai, which led to the sudden collapse of the balance of the war.

Thinking about it, through a short contact with Li Taibai, Zuo Yin can still see that he, the ancestor, is at ease in his heart.

is like Kunpeng, who has risen to 90,000 miles, how can he care about the scenery of the world in his heart.

After thinking about it a lot, the exhaustion came up unconsciously, and after dinner, Zuo Yin tidied up his clothes and bed a little, and went straight to sleep.

After a death battle, there is still a comfortable bed to rest in, and there is nothing happier in the world.

After thinking wildly, Zuo Yin gradually fell asleep.

The moonlight casts a light veil on this Shura field.

Early the next morning, Zuo Yin got up directly.

The habit of waking up early that he had developed over the years had almost become an instinct for him now, even after yesterday's big fight.

Many people in the tenth team are still asleep, but Zhang Sishuo is gone.

Zuo Yin packed himself up, and as soon as he went out of the door, he saw Zhang Sishuo repairing his bow and arrows, and when he saw Zuo Yin coming out, Zhang Sishuo greeted with a smile:

"Good morning, Captain."

"Hmm."

Zuo Yin also responded with a smile, but suddenly reacted, and he asked with some suspicion:

"What did you just call me?"

Zhang Sishuo said with a wicked smile:

"Captain, not long after the end of the war, your identity was promoted to captain, and Captain Shen Mu was transferred to the eighth team of the ten columns."

"That Su Shixin died in battle, but he died while fighting with the captain of Guo Shixiong's column, and at that time, the entire Ten Columns and other teams rushed over to support us."

After Zuo Yin heard this, he sighed again, ordinary people may gradually become a little numb to emotions in this situation, but Zuo Yin will not.

If he has been humiliated, he will naturally return it, and the kindness he has received will naturally be remembered.

After Zuo Yin and Zhang Sishuo had breakfast, the two of them went to Guanwai together to help clean up the battlefield.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Dead Dragon Pass, a strong smell of corpses came to the surface.

Last night, there were already a lot of people helping to dispose of the corpses.

For example, the Wind Rangers, who shrank their forces during the Great War, and so on.

But even so, the corpses of thousands of fire tigers must be sorted out.

The two began to help pick up the blades of the battlefield, including the sword of the fire tiger, and the spear of the leopard horseman.

Zhang Sishuo's heart can still be let go, he looked at Zuo Yin, who was silent, and said mysteriously:

"Zuo Yin, do you know why the alien race doesn't want the corpses of their own people?"

Zuo Yin frowned suspiciously, and asked calmly:

"Why?"

Since Zhang Sishuo is willing to ask, then the truth will not be seen like that.

Zhang Sishuo explains:

"For the aliens, they believe that every person who dies in battle will go to the place where the warrior will return, where every warrior can live forever."

"And the body is just a skin for their spirit."

"This is one of the reasons why the aliens are so brave in battle."

Zuo Yin smiled, this statement is really interesting, for him, he doesn't care about the world after death, what he cares about is the present world.

As the sun gradually rose, more and more soldiers who woke up rushed to help, and when there were more people, the battlefield was naturally sorted out faster.

Even so, it took two days for the entire Cangnan to clean up the huge battlefield, and finally the bodies of tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the battle were placed separately in the open space at the back of the camp.

In the snow, the corpses are not afraid of decay, and the corpses of other races are dragged together and burned.

On the third day after the end of the war, the Cangnan Army began to officially cremate their comrades who died in the war.

The cremation began in the morning, and Wu Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, personally presided over it, and behind him were the three Cangnan capitals and the commander of the guard battalion, Gongsun Tao.

The first corpse was naturally the king of the mountain capital, and everyone was saddened by the loss of this man.

Wu Jing's eyes flickered intricately in the firelight.

Gongsun Tao said behind him:

"Duke Wu, the imperial capital is already urging."

Wu Jing stretched out his hand and motioned to Gongsun Tao to stop speaking.

After Wang Xun was completely cremated, Wu Jing turned around, looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers underground, and said in a deep voice:

"In this war, you are worthy of being the guardians of southern Xinjiang, everyone, please accept the old soldier Wu Jing's worship."

After saying that, Wu Jing bowed his hand and bowed heavily.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were silent, just neatly and uniformly, bowing to Wu Jing.

Next, tens of thousands of corpses were set on fire one by one.

After incineration, the ashes are placed in ceramic jars and sent to the homes of the soldiers, so that their souls can be returned to their hometowns.

The incineration gradually came to an end, Wu Jing picked up a bowl of wine and said softly:

"The tragedy of a strong man should be generous."

Tens of thousands of soldiers also picked up the wine together and responded:

"The tragedy of a strong man should be generous."

After that, tens of thousands of bowls of wine were sprinkled on the earth.

The highest point of the Dead Dragon Pass

Li Taibai looked at the scene underground, couldn't help but smile lightly, and said to himself:

"This scene is exactly the same as after the end of Yuanjia's Northern Expedition."

There seems to be a little nostalgia in the words.
