Chapter 185: The Coming Funeral
The corpses of goblins, lizardmen, centaurs, wood elves, and jungle horses were scattered all over the post-war Highland Mountains and Alex's nose. The Wood Elves and Centaur Tateks began to clean up under the command of the Wood Elf lieutenant Crodil and the Gilberg family's Tariq Orach, respectively.
The stench of goblins, the corpses of lizardmen piled up into small hills by centaurs and wood elves.
"Aurach, you should rest." Otta, whose face was covered with linen, frowned, even the mask couldn't stop the disgusting smell, "It's really flies flying and buzzing here!" It tastes terrible! ”
"Well, my heart just can't calm down." Although Orach had not healed his old wounds and added new ones, he still endured the pain and worked with his family, only to see him pick up a basin of tar and splash it on these foul-smelling corpses, "Unless these guys are reduced to ashes in my eyes!" ”
"It will be as you wish." Ota handed Orach a flaming torch, "Come on, burn this smelling garbage." ”
"Curse you to continue to suffer in the flames of hell!" Without hesitation, Aurach threw the torch in front of the pile of corpses in front of him, and the flames quickly spread on the pile of corpses, and the flames were imprinted in Aurach's eyes, jumping.
A group of gray shadows jumped behind the beech trees on the edge of the cliffs of Iron Ore Ridge, spitting at the trunks.
Opposite the pile of corpses that rose from the flames, the soldiers of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army had dug a neat row of bone pits, and they had sorted out the bodies of their dead companions, and several groups were responsible for carrying the bodies of the dead soldiers into the bone pit and placing them properly.
"May the forests of Forrest embrace you, and you will become one with this mountain and tree, and will forever guard this land until the end of Talk." Crodil prayed the eulogy, slowly bent down to pick up a pile of dirt from the ground, and threw it into the bone pit, and then the shovels of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army soldiers behind him began to shovel and wave, until the wooden elf scimitar, which symbolized the honor of the war dead, was inserted into the tomb, and they reluctantly said goodbye to the buried soldiers under the knife mound.
At the entrance to Alex's nose bridge in the Highland Mountains, a grand funeral was presided over by Alex, the centaur chieftain, and the centaur tatechs set up firewood stands. The Tatechs collected the relics of their families who had died in battle, painted vermilion paint on the chests of the remains of their fallen family members, and then carried them to the firewood stand, under which the Tateks held torches and quietly watched Alec, the parent of the ceremony.
"The time has come for the souls of our family to step into the heavens closest to Alex!" Alec held Alex's spear high and pointed it at the sky. The Tateks lit the firewood with their torches, and for a moment hundreds of firewood stands rose and smoke billowed into the sky, like hundreds of souls rising into the sky at the same time.
"O our great deity, Alex! These warriors, who fought bloodily for the Gilberg family on Iron Ore Ridge and Alex's Nose Bridge, accepted your call on September 5, 1031 in the Tark Continental Calendar, may their souls be your power in the sky, and protect me Gilberg forever! Alec shouted into the sky, his voice seemed to carry infinite grief, and all the Tateks present burst into tears.
All of this was under the watchful eye of the goblin sentinel hiding in Iron Ore Ridge, the gray ugly head swaying behind the beech, and the grinning mouth showing a sly smile.
It wasn't until the twin moons rose into the sky again, as always, that the light of the night began to spread, and the distant shadows of the mountains outside the Highlands were hidden in the night sky, that the clean-up of the Highlands finally ended. The lilac night dominated the starry sky, and the cold wind blew from the endless chill. It was as if the shadow of last night was still in the heart of every Gilberg and every Wood Elf.
Under the darkening night sky, Alec and Crodil slowly came together, and they looked at the opposite side of Alex's nose on the side of the Highland Mountain, and the beech on the Iron Mine Ridge was like a shaking demonic tentacle sticking out of the darkness.
"We're running out of time. Young general. The cold wind on the edge of the cliff blew Alec's curls away, and his eyes were like twinkling stars.
"Of course, we were all tired, but tonight, we had to do it again." The pair of phoenix eyes on Crodir's pear-shaped face shot out a fiery phoenix-like light, and he gently raised his hand and pointed to the lonely mountain forest of Iron Mine Ridge, "During the day, the gray-skinned goblin on the opposite side of the Red Dragon's Back Cliff has not given up reconnaissance of our movements. The surveillance post I sent out saw all of this. ”
"Looks like this heavy show has earned us enough eyeballs from these guys! In order to prevent the fleeing goblins from ventilating, at least not to make them react. At this time, my family must be ready to go, they must think that we are still mourning for the deceased, but they will not understand that our mourning has not yet begun, on the contrary, we are about to compose an elegy for their death. Alec pursed his lips, only nodding slightly.
"Chief Alec, you are not only a fierce warrior, but also a healer, and now a subtle poet. Yes, we are about to compose an elegy to death for them! We will definitely succeed. Crodil stretched out his fist. Perhaps our Forrester gave us such a decent counterattack by the 2nd Squadron of the Forbidden Cavalry. ”
"This is where the action begins when the moon hangs overhead." Alec clenched his fists and punched Crodiel.
The second squadron of the cavalry of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army is stationed on the east side of the knife mound in the Highland Mountains, and the centaur caves in the Highlands are horned into each other, before returning to the camp, Crodil was a little apprehensive and wanted to visit his mentor to ask for some advice, so he first detoured to the cave house in the Highland Mountain Cave, but Legral, who had suffered severe injuries and severe pain, had already fallen asleep, and only one of the wounded Tatek, who was responsible for taking care of Leglar, limped towards Crodir. Immediately after stopping him, he was handed a parchment note written by his mentor.
With a worried heart, Krodil returned to the camp and immediately unfolded the teacher's handwriting, which, by the light of the candle, was only a scribbled Elven script, "МОвас·да·иас·тг·гаг." ”
"The battle is in the darkness of night! This is what the Mentor thinks, and it is also the secret plan of Chief Alec and me! I actually thought of a piece! The hesitation that still existed in Crodil's heart finally vanished, and the pair of shallow eyebrows on his handsome face seemed to stretch out for a moment, like branches stretched out like a tree in spring.
"Herald! Thirty elite warriors were selected for me, and this time we will not be on horseback, but on foot! Attack when the moon hangs high above your head! Crodil called to the herald outside the tent, and he himself rose and lifted the pitch-black longbow from the bow stand that had been seized from Kosibonak's discarded bag.
Alec called the heroic Orach and Otta, and took the two of them back to the Highland Mountain Cave, the former lively Highland Mountain Cave is now much colder, and occasionally it is the female centaurs who pass by his side to give Alec greetings, but most of them are also in a hurry, their faces are more or less anxious and sad, under the light of the blue fluorite light, the traces of tears flowing from the corners of their eyes are revealed, and they pass through the bright water source square of the Highland Mountain Cave, silently climbing the stairs, On the left was the double-layered cave of Wufu Kronga, but now only Karen's widow and young son were left there, and the whimper of women and children from the cave made him feel like a fish in his throat, and Alec paused for a long time before sighing softly, and then walked straight to his chief's stone house.
"Parents, is there anything I can do for you?" Orach, Ota asked in unison, and the two of them seemed to read something from Alec's gloomy face.
"You two have been dealing with the funerals of your family members with me for a day, and you're tired now, aren't you?" Alec didn't directly state his plan, but asked Orach and Ota how they felt, "Especially Orach, you're covered in knife wounds, and although your life isn't in danger, it should be a difficult day for you." ”
"I cursed those fellows to languish in the purgatory of fire, the curse I sent out made my heart inexplicably happy, most of the painful days these days have made me numb to pain, if I were to kill a few more goblins, then I would run fast! The two-handed sword can also dance hula hula! Orach laughed strongly, and his body language was so rich that Ota began to lose control of his mouth.
"Ah, Daddy Alec, as long as I have a little drink, then I will be quickly charged like blue fluorite." Ota licked his tongue, as if the wine worm in his stomach had begun to scream again.
"I guarantee that both of you'll have your wishes granted. Orach, soon our common enemy will die. And you, Otta, are called drunks, and I believe it, and I'll let you drink a pot to regain your strength. Alec said slowly, as if there was something in his words.
"That's why you called us, Parent, and it seems that everyone will not be able to rest tonight. Parents have arrangements. Orach had already guessed Alec's thoughts, "You're going to take us on a night attack on Iron Ore Ridge." ”
"That's right, Aurach, Aorta. The Wood Elves will be acting with us, and I have chosen you two in particular, first, because you are brave warriors who have been baptized in battle, and secondly, we don't have many Tateks left in the Highlands to continue fighting. Go ahead and prepare, and I'll hand-pick twenty-eight Tateks to join us. You have the same time as I do, and you don't have much time left. Alec put on the white tiger skin again, "Attack Iron Mine Ridge tonight, and be sure to use the moonlight to kill all the enemies of Iron Mine Ridge." Just when the moon hangs overhead. ”
"Yes!" Aurach and Ota saluted their parents together, then turned and left Alec's chief's house.
The combined two moons finally hung high above their heads, and two waves of teams quietly gathered on the bridge of Alex's nose.
"Get ready, Lord Crodier." Alec's spear shimmered under the twin moons, and although the spear had stabbed a large number of invading enemies, the spear was still as sharp as ever.
"Ready, Chief." Claudir kept his voice as low as he could, his face obscured by the shadows cast by his dark green robes and hood.
