Chapter 117: Equal Respect
After a short break, the group began to move forward again, and after walking in the damp cavern for about an hour, they finally heard the sound of the howling wind.
This indicates that the exit is not far away.
Turning a bend in front of him, the terrain suddenly opened up a lot, enough to accommodate seven or eight people to advance side by side, and the light of the torches alone was no longer enough to illuminate the entire area.
"There are rocks ahead, and we're at the end of the road. ”
"Are you kidding us?" Rodin smashed * directly on the shoulder of the fierce tattoo, for this kind of guy, he didn't have the heart to do anything about treating the prisoners preferentially, anyway, this kind of heinous guy, Rodin didn't plan to let him live long.
"What's going on?" Lightning asked.
"We'll have to climb up, the passage is above the mountain wall," he screamed in pain, but he didn't dare to show any resistance, for fear of angering the guys.
Wait, you have a good look, in this labyrinthine cave, without me, you don't want to go out for the rest of your life!
It's coming, it's going to be there!
Fierce Pattern planned a way to escape in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but pointed very obediently to the top of the rock blocking the road, and the wind looked in that direction, only to see that at a height of about three meters, there was indeed a hole that could accommodate adults to enter and exit normally.
Lightning pulls the rope out of his backpack and hands it to Windwind.
Tempest spread his hands and looked at the black opening, like a demonic cannibal mouth.
"I ...... Shall I go first?"
"Or else?" said Lightning with a frown, "We don't have the ability to fly. ”
Even though he was very reluctant, the wind reluctantly accepted the task, and jumped up slightly, and in the silent cave, the sound of air flow rubbing suddenly sounded, and his body rose into the air like a feather, falling directly into the cave.
Soon, the rope was thrown out of the hole.
"I'll go first. Lightning glanced at the Fierce Stripe, perhaps also considering the possibility that he would escape, and Blastwind chose to block him in the middle with Rodin one after the other.
It's useless.
Fierce Stripes sneered to himself.
It took a great deal of effort for the group to transport all the weapons on ropes.
"Keep walking!"
Rodin put the muzzle of his gun on the back of the waist.
Vicious Stripe silently counted his steps in his mind, and since just now, he had been deliberately moving closer to the left, but because of the light, Rodin did not notice his intentions.
"Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine......"
Suddenly, from the other side of the cave entrance, a chilly wind blew in, and the firelight was blown and beat violently, confusing everyone's shadows.
Now is the time!
Knowing that his chance had come, he turned around and aimed at the area on his left side that was covered with vines, pounced on it, and quickly disappeared behind the vines.
These vine seeds are carried into the cave by the wind and water, and then cling to the walls as the water temperature drops, and they grow very quickly in the warm air temperature and humid environment, even in winter, in the warm cavern, the green branches and foliage cover the entire rock wall.
Lightning didn't expect that behind the leaves of these vines, there were actually not solid rocks, but countless caves leading to unknown regions!
"Damn!" Lightning hurriedly ripped away the vines in the area where the Vicious Stripes had disappeared, and in the bottomless darkness between them, there were more than seven or eight cave openings in different directions, and it was impossible to determine which direction the Vicious Stripes had fled from.
"I was too careless!" said Rodin, annoyed, "I didn't expect that there would be holes on both sides. ”
At this point, it is useless to say anything else, and the most important thing at the moment is to determine the direction of progress and avoid getting lost in the dark.
"Follow me," said the wind, pointing to the left front, "the wind is blowing from this direction." ”
Thanks to his ability to come from the wind, the wind is very sensitive to the flow and direction of the wind, and the slightest change can catch his attention.
"It's time to get closer to the exit, and the wind speed is getting bigger and bigger. "The wind is on guard, who knows what monsters or enemies will await them at the exit?
When everyone left, in the darkness, there was a faint sound of chewing.
Like some kind of monster, gnawing at bones and flesh......
......
In the middle of a wasteland, where a dozen corpses dressed in new soldier uniforms lay silently in the middle of a wasteland where the craftsmen ordered craftsmen to build a fence out of rocks and wood.
Penn was on crutches and his upper body was bandaged like a dumpling, and he was badly wounded in the confrontation with the barbarians and should have been bedridden, but he insisted on coming to the funeral of his companions.
The Knights, who lost eleven brothers who once fought side by side.
Payne stood there, his sad look not suitable for the knight's body, he was only a little depressed.
Death is no stranger to knights, and there was once a teaching in the knightly code, which Payne still remembers very well.
The most glorious sacrifice is the fate of the knight.
Versailles also followed behind Payne, and among the dead soldiers, there were also his men, seven members of the same recruit corps, according to past experience, after the death of low-ranking soldiers, they were not qualified to hold funerals, just find a pit and bury them, or directly throw their bodies into the wilderness.
But today, the dead soldiers were buried with the knights, and they were buried in the same cemetery, which made Versailles feel a little incredible.
Knights have noble titles, and their funerals are more solemn and acceptable, playing mourning music, and accepting the mourning of others, but these ordinary soldiers have never enjoyed such treatment before.
The pension promised by the lord has already been paid, which is enough for their wives to raise their children until they reach adulthood, and the lord also said that the descendants of soldiers who died in battle can be given priority in applying for and admitting talents in the air crossing consulate.
This is simply to feed his family for the dead soldiers!
Versailles suddenly felt that if this compensation method was followed, then the soldiers would die on the battlefield and would not have any worries.
The funeral was a tedious process, with mourning music played, and then a large number of people speaking to express their pity for their dead comrades, but Versailles did not remember a word.
When the funeral was over, Versailles secretly asked Rand privately why ordinary soldiers could enjoy the same funeral as knights.
Rand replied with only one sentence.
All the warriors who have given their lives and shed their blood to protect their loved ones and their land deserve equal respect.
Nothing to do with identity, status, title.
