Chapter 26: Sacrifice

The battle of Shimang Town can be described as heroic, although the Chu and Jin Empire easily captured that military fortress, but the team was almost wiped out in the enemy's frantic counterattack. Tang led his troops in countless charges, repelling enemy attacks after attack, until he was the only one left to charge, but this rising military genius died outside the border fortress.

When the Aosi Imperial Army and the bandits finally recaptured Shimang Town after paying a heavy price, and led the team to gather at the gate of the city, trying to break through the earthen wall barrier of the rock mage, a team of fire mages suddenly appeared on the city tower, and suddenly the flames were everywhere, frantically smashing into the enemy group, and the unsuspecting enemy suddenly suffered heavy losses and had to retreat again.

At this time, some people remembered that the siege battle had been fought for a day and a night, and the fire army mage of the Chu and Jin Empire had not shown up, and the enemy never thought that Tang would die and still have a back hand, setting such a big trap, and the bandits were frightened at this moment after all, and they did not dare to attack easily. While trying to connect with the surrounding teams, the Oz Empire promised more benefits to the bandits.

It's a pity that it's too late, the town of Shimang has been holding on long enough, and when the army seconded by the Oz Empire is still on the way, the second stronghold has already been breached, and the vanguard has already rushed to the town of Shimang, consolidating the defense and confronting the enemy. Large forces also arrived one after another, so that the war came to an end for the time being, and the world called this war the Battle of Dawn.

Jin Shi was seriously injured, crying until he fainted in the pile of dead people, and when he was found cleaning the battlefield, his armor was torn, full of scars, and his bones were broken, and he could die at any time.

"Come on, come on, come on, there's still a living mouth here. The soldiers cleaning the battlefield shouted at the top of their voices. The people who attacked Shimang Town were all elites, and they won the victory at the cost of almost total annihilation, so everyone is worthy of respect, since they are still saved, they must go all out, which is also an order given by the regent himself.

During the treatment, Jin Shi's right hand was always clenched into a fist, and some curious people wanted to break it to see what was inside, but found that this fist was like steel, and it couldn't be opened. There will always be all kinds of capable people in the army, and they can always open it if they want to, but no one does it, first of all, he is a wounded, and secondly, he is still a hero.

In the first battle of Shimang Town, except for the two teams of military mages, the rest of the people who survived were all seriously wounded, and there was not even a single one who had the slightest strength to act, even if the medical staff were not on the battlefield, just looking at these wounded people knew how fierce the battle was at that time, and the survivors should be respected, not only because of the order of the regent.

Jin Shi, who was carefully cared for, his vital signs were still unstable, and the medical staff sighed: "I hope he can survive until the next healing operation." ”

In the dark night, the medical staff did not notice that Jin Shi's right fist was faintly emitting a faint golden light, and Jin Shi's consciousness was constantly changing.

Jin Shi felt that the star-sized golden light point in his consciousness was pulsating constantly, and he didn't even know how long it had lasted, but it had been pulsating all the time. Suddenly, the golden light pulsated faster, faster and faster, and the golden light grew bigger and bigger, until the entire consciousness turned golden.

I don't know how long it took, a little white ripple shook in the center of the golden world, at first there was only a star white, and slowly with the ripples, the white light slowly expanded, like the ripples of a stone thrown into the lake.

When the white light reaches a certain size, it does not expand, but slowly becomes transparent. When it was completely transparent, Jin Shi saw the back of a human being, a golden warrior wearing a golden battle armor, holding a golden shield in his left hand and a golden sword in his right hand.

The figure was a little stunned, then slowly turned around, revealing an almost perfect young face, except for those eyes that were a little surprised, the face was expressionless, but it exuded a domineering air that was not angry and arrogant.

Jin Shi kept staring at the golden warrior, and the golden warrior seemed to keep staring at him. After a long time, the corners of the golden warrior's mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"Get stronger!" like a voice from outside the sky, the golden warrior opened his mouth and said, these three words rippled in Jin Shi's consciousness, as if there was an irresistible will.

After the golden warrior said this, he raised the golden long sword above his head, and then slowly fell back to his chest, the tip of the sword was upward, the golden long sword covered his almost perfect left side of his face, and the right eye, which had become flat, was suddenly full of battle intent, and the golden long sword burst out with a violent light.

Jin Shi's consciousness turned golden, and then, he opened his eyes suddenly. He slowly raised his right hand and slowly opened it, and the badge that was sunk in the flesh of his palm emitted a soft golden light that illuminated the entire room, only for a moment, without attracting attention, and then the light slowly faded and dimmed, and then slowly disappeared.

Jin Shi gripped the badge again, slowly placed it on his chest, closed his eyes again, and two lines of tears flowed.

The next day, the medical staff actually found that the golden stone had woken up, shouted a miracle, and invited an old man, the old man thoroughly checked the golden stone up and down, and sighed: "Thirteen fractures all over the body, countless wounds, more than half of the blood, in the absence of a great healing technique, can wake up by itself, what a miracle!"

The old man stood up, tidied up his clothes, bowed solemnly, and said solemnly: "The old man has seen countless wounded soldiers in his life, but he has never seen anyone who can be as tenacious as this. ”

All the accompanying medical staff were stunned, who is this old man! It is a god-like existence of the Chu Jin Empire, even the regent has to give three points when he sees it, not only because he is benevolent and charitable, but also because his elemental ability is the rarest and most special healing system on the Northern Yuan Continent.

The reason why the old man is a god-like existence is because he gave up the invitation of other forces to be superior, and chose to cooperate with the imperial military, where there is a war, he will be there, and the wounded soldiers who have been treated in his life can form a large army.

The old man asked respectfully, "Dare to ask which team the little brother is from?"

Jin Shi lay on the bed and said indifferently: "Our team doesn't have a number yet. ”

The crowd was taken aback, and one of the medical staff exclaimed, "Could it be the shadow team?"

"No way, I heard that the team has ......" another paramedic answered, and the old man interrupted him with two snorts and kicked everyone out.

The old man said, "Little brother has worked hard, take a good rest!"

The old man was about to exit the door, but Jin Shi suddenly said: "My feet are numb and I can't move, I can't collect their bodies, may I ask the old man, can you know their current condition." ”

The old man said: "Little brother, rest assured, the remains of all the martyrs have been properly recovered, the regent ordered the burial according to the number of the team, and now the final work and the construction of the cemetery are being done, and when you are healed, the cemetery should also be built, just outside Shimang Town, and you can go to worship at that time." ”

Jin Shi took a deep breath of cold air and said lightly: "This is very good, thank you old man." ”

Jin Shi's recovery speed exceeded everyone's expectations, he thought that he would lie in bed for at least three months, but he lay down for a month and got out of bed, the so-called 100 days of broken muscles and bones, he did create a miracle.

The construction of the cemetery is not apocryphal, outside the inland direction of Shimang Town, a quiet wooded edge, the cemetery is built there, a simple archway is the building of the entire cemetery, a stone tablet is erected at the mouth of the archway, introducing the course of the battle of dawn, and the heroic deeds of the martyrs of the cemetery.

In the cemetery, there are dozens of tombstones as far as the eye can see, and the tombstones start with the number of the team, and the names are densely packed below. Among them, there is a tombstone that is the most special, there is no word engraved on the tablet, only a well-polished plane.

Jin Shi sat on the ground slowly, because his injuries had not fully recovered, and with the treatment of healing techniques, the superficial injuries were healed, but the broken bones were not so easy to recover.

Jin Shi was saddened, and after a long time, he said to the wordless tombstone: "I'm sorry, I didn't collect the body for you." ”

"That's fine, you can still be a companion when you die. ”

After a long silence, Jin Shi stared at the wordless tombstone in a daze, thunderclouds gathered in the sky, lightning and thunder, and suddenly it poured down. Jin Shi finally moved, he looked up at the sky slightly, and then looked at the surrounding scene. Although the heavy rain made it difficult for him to open his eyes, he felt as if the whole world had changed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jin Shi finally figured it out, this heavy rain instantly washed away the smell of war in the air, Jin Shi couldn't stop crying, the rain mixed with his hot tears, Jin Shi did not hide his emotions, like a child, wiped his snot with a handful of tears with his sleeve, Tie Han also has tenderness, not to mention that he is only 14 years old.

Jin Shi didn't cry for too long, took out the Jincheng Guard badge that Tang gave him from his arms, took a deep look at it and held it tightly, and said firmly to the wordless tombstone: "Captain, I will become stronger, your will will be inherited by me, you rest in peace!"
