"Ellro, you're all ready......"

The bearded Richard walked up to Elo Eberlock and whispered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I see, Richard, then...... Let's go. ”

Elo Eberlock nodded.

Whether it was the bearded Richard or Elo Eberlock, there was no joy on their faces to reach their destination, only sadness and mourning.

The number of dead residents in Night Town had just been told—far more than what they saw when they entered the town.

More than 4,000 corpses were scattered across the streets of Nighttown, in houses, in the squares in the center of the town, and in the jungles on the outskirts of Nighttown.

It took half a day for the entire refugee procession to gather the bodies.

Four thousand corpses, perhaps a month ago, they were all alive, but now, most of them are so decomposed that they could not be seen as before; Some of the corpses were even half decomposed, which made the statistics of Malone and others less accurate.

In a meadow between Nighttown and the River Elwin, the corpses were piled up by the refugees, surrounded by chopped firewood and some vegetable oil doused with hay to start a fire.

The refugees did not have the energy or the space to bury the bodies; Coupled with the fact that most of the corpses had already been devoured by maggots, rats, and crows, Elo Eberlock had no choice but to incinerate them all.

All the refugees had arrived in the clearing, dozens of young men armed with torches, scattered around the huge pile of corpses, waiting for Elo Eberlock's orders.

The bearded Richard waved his hand at the young men, signaling that they could start burning.

One ignition after another was ignited, and the fire began to spread in the direction of the firewood placement and ignited the nearby weeds; The forest wind that drifted from the twilight forest gusted, and the wind fueled the fire, and the corpses soon burned one after another, making a crackling sound.

Soon, the flames converged and rushed into the sky, and thick black smoke began to fill above the fire, bringing a pungent smell.

"Rest in peace, fellow citizens! May the Light receive your souls! ”

Elo Eberlock shouted with his arms outstretched towards the dancing flames; Two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks, which were no longer young.

-- That's more than 4,000 living beings! Those orcs, how dare they......

"Holy Light Bless ......"

"Rest in peace......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

……

The ranks of the refugees became a little confused, and some, like Elo Eberlock, prayed to the Light, praying that their fellow citizens would rest in peace and that they would survive; There are also people who face emotional breakdowns and hide their faces and cry.

Marlon stood in the front row of the crowd, with the Wolf King Rubes on his left, and the Westspring Garrison and Althea on his right.

The young Sir Lothar, Marlon the Traverser, looked silently at the flames burning in front of him, and he felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.

Malone had never seen war, and his country had always been a peaceful country on earth; But now, he has not only witnessed the war happening with his own eyes, but also the innocent death of civilians, and even ...... He took part in the war with his own hands, taking out several gnolls.

The part of his soul that belonged to Marlon was trembling, and the instinctive fear of blood and death made him feel the urge to gag.

However, the very small part of the soul belonging to Lothar stopped this cowardly action; The blood of Emperor Soladin boiled in Marlon's body, and it was an impulse to leave his anger.

Driven by this impulse, Malone came to the front of the crowd and turned to look at the refugees, weeping or grieving.

"Listen to me! Listen to me! ”

Malone opened his hands and shouted loudly.

The refugees, including Ello Eberlock, looked up at Malone in astonishment, not knowing what the young and brave nobleman wanted to tell them at such a time.

"Today, we are witnessing the death of thousands of our fellow citizens. I also hope it's not true, but...... We just cremated them with our own hands. ”

Malone's gaze swept across the crowd, looking at the refugees one by one, and he could see the confusion in each other's eyes, because he was like that himself.

"What I'm going to say next may surprise you, but...... In the past, until just now, I thought a lot about this war, about us, about these compatriots who died, about ...... You and I know the murderers who caused all of this - the dirty, brutal orcs. ”

Even counting life on Earth, this is the first time Malone has made such a speech in front of so many people, and he racked his brains to find the right words.

"We have all lost a lot in this war, the people we love, the people who love us, our property, our country, our king...... The orcs descended from the sky and took everything in such a brutal way, and we had to flee in disarray, far from our homeland, and in this dark twilight forest, with the help of the houses left behind by these dead compatriots. ”

Malone's words stunned the refugees - even though he was telling the truth, everyone felt that his words were a little too harsh.

Except for the young men, who clenched their fists, and from Malone's words, they could hear a deep sense of humiliation.

The soldiers of the Westspring garrison were no exception, and Paul even bit his lip and shed blood; The faint smell spread on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't notice it.

"But even so, the war is not over; The orcs are celebrating their victory in our homeland, the ruined homeland they have destroyed, and they are about to wipe us out, taking the last piece of land, the last grain of food, the last shelter we depend on. ”

"I don't know what you guys think about it, but I ...... I knew very well that I felt anger—not ordinary anger, but the fury that drove me crazy! ”

"We need revenge, revenge on those brutal orcs, for ourselves, for those innocent and tragic deaths, for those we have lost, and for those we cherish who are still alive."

"I am a nobleman, a soldier...... When the war broke out, I didn't defend the walls of Stormwind; And after the fall of Stormwind, I chose to protect you here...... I've never regretted that. ”

Malone said a lot in one breath, and he had to stop and catch his breath for a while.
