Chapter 86: Funeral
In a clearing outside Kanpur, a large number of Ionian Resistance Army fighters gathered here, but no one spoke, and everyone looked quietly at the more than 100 tombstones that had just been placed in front of them.
These were all Resistance soldiers who died during the siege of the city, but fortunately, Ling Tianmao's actions were timely enough, otherwise there would definitely be more than a few people lying there now.
Li Qing slowly walked in front of everyone:
"You were lucky to be here now after all the hard work of yesterday's battle, and I hope you will live until the end of the war. But this is impossible, where there are wars there must be sacrifices, and we are here to remember them, not only to grieve for them, but also to remember the goals they fought for, and now these goals fall on your shoulders. ”
Then, he pulled Ling Tianmao to his side again:
"We were able to win at such a small cost, thanks to Captain Dahl who managed to open the gates for us in the city, otherwise we would have more people lying here."
Ling Tianmao looked at the rows of Ionian warriors standing in front of him, but his mood couldn't relax. He comes from the earth of the 21st century, and he is a doctor himself, so he has a completely different understanding of the meaning of life. Although he had experienced death and even killed people here before, he still felt shocked in the face of so many people dying in one battle at the same time.
When the Ionian soldiers gradually dispersed, Ling Tianmao stayed alone and walked to the cemetery of Terres. Looking at the slightly raised mound on the ground, Ling Tianmao asked Dahl:
"Did I hurt him?"
"Do you mean what you say?"
"Well, it's obvious that this sentence has a great impact on him, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Hank to just relay this sentence to me, and he thought that his sacrifice would make these survivors remember him in the future? Better to live? Damn, I shouldn't have told him anything about how people should live according to the wishes of the people they care about. ”
This feeling is completely different from killing a Noxian soldier, Ling Tianmao's killing situation is basically a life-and-death fight on the battlefield, even if he kills the enemy, it will not cause too much trouble to his heart, he is not a person who is too virgin. But he didn't want Teres to die, and even wanted him to live very much, otherwise he wouldn't have told him that in the first place, but he didn't expect the end result to be like this.
"That's not what you meant, it's just that he's thinking in the wrong direction. Moreover, I think even if you don't say this, he won't choose to continue to live, and when he says that the time of the city is the end for him, we all understand that he is ready to die. ”
Seeing that Ling Tianmao didn't say anything, Dahl continued:
"Actually, this result is not necessarily bad, think about it, if he hadn't done this, Hank and they would have died in prison, can you accept this situation?"
"What about you? Would you choose this too? ”
"Well, maybe this is not your hometown, and as an Ionian, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to be able to make some contribution and sacrifice in a war of aggression. If I had reached the point where I didn't have anyone to worry about, I might have made the same choice as him. So, it's not necessarily your fault. ”
After listening to Dahl's speech, Ling Tianmao seemed to be in a much better mood, Dahl's words made him feel a lot better, he had always felt that it was because of his own reasons that Teris chose to die. I have to say that Terese's approach is the most appropriate in that situation.
If he told them about it, it would distract them from the city's gates, and if they waited until the city was broken, they would only see Hank's corpses.
Suddenly, a hand slapped on Ling Tianmao's shoulder, and when he looked back, he found that Udil was looking at him with a smile:
"They said they saw you in this place."
"Uh...... Can I help you? ”
Udir slowly walked towards the front, Ling Tianmao followed, and when he walked out of the range of the cemetery, Udir suddenly said:
"It's really thanks to you this time."
"No, what I promised should have been done, and besides, I could have done better......"
"Done is done, and nothing is better." Udir turned around suddenly, "I heard from them that you can use elemental power?" ”
"Well, sort of."
"Do you know that there aren't many people who can use this kind of power on the continent combined?"
"I don't know," Ling Tianmao shook his head, he didn't understand what Udil meant by suddenly telling him this, "I used to live in a valley with my family, until I came out of there by accident, and after I came out, I encountered this war. I don't know what I'm using, but I seem to instinctively use it in battle. ”
Udil didn't doubt it that Ionia had a relatively low population density, and that there were some isolated places in it:
"Then you come, let's make a few gestures."
"Huh?" Ling Tianmao's mouth opened wide, "This is not very good......
"What's wrong, Captain Li Qing asked me to come and see you, I probably have an idea of your strength, so it's convenient to assign you more suitable tasks. And, if you're willing to share it with us, I might be able to pass on some of your lessons. If it's really like what you said, I still have a lot more combat experience than you. ”
Hearing what Udir said, Ling Tianmao's heart moved, he didn't care about those tasks assigned or anything, he didn't care, the focus was on the back, Udier was willing to guide him in some combat experience, which he had no way to refuse.
Udir has been baptized by war in Freljord for a long time, and his rich combat experience is far from being comparable to any hero of Ionia, and being able to get his guidance will definitely improve his strength a lot, in this world, there is nothing more important than strength.
"But I don't know how to use them very well, and a lot of the time I fight on instinct." Ling Tianmao was still a little weak-hearted, there were only two skills he could use, and there was almost no experience in combat.
"That's why I came to you, instinct is also a kind of strength, in the heat of battle, it's more instinct to use, and your brain can't think normally at that time." Udir said with a smile as he assumed a posture of response, "So take it easy, let's get started." ”
Ling Tianmao adjusted his mood slightly, and then rushed towards Udil.
