Chapter 54: Farewell
86_86680When the blood moon that had been hanging in the sky for three months slowly set, when the sun that had not been seen for a long time finally rose, people knew that this time the crimson moon was finally over.
Rarely, the perennially cloudy sky above the Tristram region is so clear today, and the rays of sunlight are shining down on the earth, diluting not only the darkness, but also the haze of war.
On the first day of the end of the Crimson Moon, everyone at Camp Rog put down what they were doing, and the first thing they were going to do was not to celebrate, but to hold a funeral.
What was once a burial ground for the public cemetery in the Tristram region is no longer suitable as a burial place. Evil forces will contaminate the dead buried there and resurrect them into new monsters, so there is now a new cemetery in Camp Rog.
In order to prevent the dead buried here from being controlled by Hell, Akara and other leaders have already used the power of runes and various gems to create a device similar to an enchantment, so as to prevent the invasion of hell by the forces of hell.
When the coffins carrying the corpses of the warriors were transported, Akara, who presided over the funeral, recited the eulogy to the entire camp through a magic amplifier.
"The once of a decade Crimson Moon has passed, and this time, humanity has once again survived the tribulation, but the time for celebration has not yet come. Evil forces are still encroaching on every corner of the continent of St. Hugh, and our war is far from over......
The glory of our ancestors shines on us, and under their guidance, the warriors will fight to the end, and we will never give in to Hell!
The war continues, sacrifice is inevitable, and in this Crimson Moon, 581 great warriors have left us, they have won us hope with their blood, they have exchanged their lives for us tomorrow......
The fallen warriors will not be forgotten, the strong and brave Alisa, the lively and enthusiastic Kelly, and the frank and hearty Rodri......
Their names will forever be remembered in the history of Camp Rog and will be sung by generations of people!
Although their people are gone, their will is still with us, and under their inspiration, the living people will do their best to defeat the evil. The evil demons have been driven back to the filthy hell once and for all!
Now, with reverence, let us wish the sacrificed warriors an early return to the arms of their ancestors and salute! ”
When Akara's words fell, the entire camp bowed deeply, sincerely praying for the deceased to rest in peace.
After the salute, under the auspices of Akara, the bodies of the warriors were buried, and it was the living professionals and mercenaries who buried them, including the Scarlet Squad.
Xiang Yuanyang and the others were in charge of burying a professional, a professional they were not familiar with - the little assassin girl who was the first to find them on the wall that day.
The little girl did not survive in the end, and on the 21st day of battle, she was attacked simultaneously by a group of skeleton archers, and eventually died.
She is one of the admirers of the Scarlet Squad, and she is also a professional who has transferred to the same group as Xiang Yuanyang, although she may be just a stranger to the Scarlet Squad, but this still can't alleviate the sadness in everyone's hearts.
The funeral lasted 8 hours before it ended, and Xiang Yuanyang and the others, who returned to the Scarlet House, did not have any communication, and did not even eat lunch and dinner, so they went back to their respective rooms early to rest, but no one could sleep that night.
For the next few days, Camp Rog was immersed in an atmosphere of silence, with no one communicating*, even in the usual bustling bar, where everyone poured their drinks into their mouths in silence.
However, this silence is not destined to last long, after all, the dead are gone, and those who survive still need to continue to struggle, and immersing themselves in sentimentality is not what people should do.
On the fifth day after the end of the Crimson Moon, Akara sent Xiang Yuanyang and the others to the Scarlet House, and told them that Varref's caravan would leave for Lu Gaoin three days later.
In this Crimson Moon, Xiang Yuanyang's deeds of single-handedly killing Andariel are already well known, and anyone who has killed Andariel will be eligible to go to Lu Gain to begin a more dangerous experience, and the people of the Scarlet Team are no exception.
For the Scarlet Squad, it is inevitable to go to Lu Gaoin, because now the monsters in the Tristram area can no longer meet their needs, and it is no longer possible to gain enough experience points by killing the monsters here, if they want to level up again, then they can only go to Lu Gaoin to kill the monsters of higher rank.
It took nearly two months to get to Lu Gayin, and they first traversed the Dark Forest, then over the Candras Mountains, and finally into the Great Aranoch Desert, where Ru Gain was located.
This time the journey will be very difficult, in addition to the long journey, everyone will also have to face a lot of battles, and the traces of monsters are all over every corner of the continent of Santa Hugh, so there is no room for them to be careless.
Fortunately, in addition to the Scarlet Squad, there were dozens of Rogue warriors and several other professionals who accompanied the caravan to Lu Gain.
Since Gaia, Jenny, Zhang Chongyang, and Wang Henghui were also involved in that operation, although they did not attack Andariel, the camp also made an exception to allow them and their team to go to Lu Gaoin.
That night, Xiang Yuanyang told Nina the news that the Scarlet Team was going to Lu Gaoin, and hoped that Nina would follow them to Lu Gaoin, but surprisingly, this little Nizi actually rejected Xiang Yuanyang's proposal.
When asked why, Nina replied, "I'm staying at the camp for next year's transfer ceremony, so I can't follow you, but I'll see you again soon!" When I succeed in changing jobs, I'm going to fight with you, brother! ”
After Nina said this, she shrunk her neck and waited for everyone's blame, but unexpectedly, Xiang Yuanyang and the others just looked at each other and smiled, and then left Nina and went back to the room to rest, which made Nina stunned.
Nina naturally wouldn't have thought that Xiang Yuanyang and others had already seen her dedication, in fact, to say that Nina had been left alone in the camp, Xiang Yuanyang and they were also a little unhappy, although the battle of the professional was very dangerous, but Xiang Yuanyang had the confidence to protect her, if she could stay by his side, it would naturally be better.
Three days passed quickly, and early in the morning, the Scarlet Squad arrived at Akara's tent, where all the leaders of the camp coincidentally.
After respectfully saying good morning to Akara and them, everyone expressed their intentions, they came to say goodbye to Akara and others, during this time, Akara and others took care of the blood red team quite a lot, and Xiang Yuanyang and others naturally would not forget it, but now Xiang Yuanyang and others have nothing to repay them, so they can only put this help in their hearts for the time being, looking forward to being able to repay this kindness in the future.
In fact, if these thoughts of theirs were known by Akara and the others, then Akara and the others would definitely laugh, as the leaders of the camp, Accra and they would not take care of anyone less, and the care of Xiang Yuanyang and the others was by no means exceptional.
There is one thing that the people of the Scarlet Squad have not fully understood so far, that is, how great what they have done, since Xiang Yuanyang joined the Scarlet Squad, they have completed a number of things that no one has ever done before, and even Akara and they have been shocked by them.
If you want to take care of them, in fact, in a way, why didn't the Scarlet Squad take care of Akara and them?
The actions of the Scarlet Squad have solved Akara's problems again and again, which has undoubtedly greatly reduced the pressure on the latter, and the care that Xiang Yuanyang thinks they think is actually what the Scarlet Squads deserves.
There was no surprise about the arrival of the Scarlet Squad, after all, they still had a lot of task rewards that they had not received, but then Akara and the others were stunned to find that the people of the Scarlet Squads were completely saying goodbye to them, and they didn't remember anything about the rewards at all.
Seeing this scene, even Kane couldn't help but laugh and joked: "In the past, after completing the mission, the other squads were not looking forward to the arrival of the task reward, wishing that the reward would be as rich as possible, but now it's good, these little guys forgot about the reward after completing the most difficult task!" Ancestors, I don't think it's because our rewards aren't attractive enough, it's because they're too rich to care about our rewards at all! ”
Hearing Kane's words, everyone in the Blood Red Squad suddenly remembered that there was a reward, and they suddenly blushed, scratching their ears and cheeks one by one.
Akara shook his head and smiled: "Okay, Kane Wise, don't tease them anymore, I think they are also because they are too busy during this time, so they forgot about it for a while, but even if they forget, we still have to give the reward that should be given, young people, don't underestimate this reward, this is Lord Kane's treasure for many years, and no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it!" ”
Kane stroking his chin and stroking his beard when he heard this, "That's it, I've spent more than a hundred years in order to get these things together!" Then he turned his head to look at Matthew and Lin Ling and said, "It's your two little guys' turn to be lucky this time!" ”
Just when Matthew and Lin Ling were wondering, Kane took out the things they were going to reward the Scarlet Team from the inventory, and when the equipment shining with green brilliance appeared in everyone's sight, the two of them finally understood.
And when Kane put all the equipment on the conference table, everyone in the Scarlet Squad gasped, and Matthew couldn't help but exclaim, "Eressa's refining furnace!" West...... A full set of swords from Nishigang! ”
