And now, the war has been won, and the people are waiting for the victorious army, their hearts are naturally pleasantly surprised, originally thought that the strong man was gone and would never return, many people have even begun to prepare, find everything around them that may increase protection, in their own dilapidated house to add a defensive deck, many people have fixed all the discarded steel bars, iron rods on the windows and door panels, hoping to ensure their own safety in this way.

That is, in the past few days, the two families of Black Iron City have soared from the original four copper plates per kilogram to twenty copper plates, more than five times the price, this is because the war at the front is tight, and the soldiers are fighting very hard, so it is naturally impossible to reduce the amount of food again, otherwise when the mutiny comes, there will be nothing.

The second is that because the fields in the countryside have not been completely harvested, the amount of food in the city is far from enough, and the third is because of the appearance of wild wolves, so that everyone in the Black Iron City is in danger, and there are no shops on the streets themselves that dare to open for business, not to mention that at this time, after getting the news, the residents of the Black Iron City almost rushed to the grain store to buy grain, hoping to be able to store enough food for their own homes for a week to ensure their own safety.

At this time, I have to go out, it is too dangerous, the three factors are combined, so that the price of food in the Black Iron City began to soar, and fortunately, all the people in the Black Iron City have jobs, and it is barely a big problem, but if it is more serious, I am afraid that the Black Iron City will not last too long.

From this, it can be seen that the residents of the inner city of Black Iron City do not care about these wild wolves, after all, the tall city walls can ensure their safety, but the people in the suburbs outside the city are obviously not so optimistic, and now, the war has been won, and their army has protected their safety, which makes the people of Black Iron City spontaneously rush to the streets where the soldiers are about to pass, hoping to welcome this army that protects them with their own enthusiasm.

Some young girls hold baskets of flowers in their hands, and there are a few flowers in them, and now it is almost winter, even in the wild, most of the flowers have withered, but this is not difficult for the girls who love beauty in the Black Iron City, they use their own skillful hands to make some colored paper into flowers, which is still very beautiful.

There are also some boys, in order to please their beloved girls, who go to the maple leaf forest, pluck the maple leaves that have turned red, give them to their own girls, and then welcome the arrival of the heroes in a complicated mood.

The old people prepared silk and applause, and even musical instruments, which was the best way for them to express their gratitude, in the distance, the sand and dust splashed waves, Shu Han led his army from a distance, Shu Han as the commander of the whole army naturally stood at the front, behind him was a phalanx of four hundred and forty soldiers, they carried stretchers, on top were wounded and dead comrades, and in the rear, there were more than a dozen carts, on which were placed wild wolf mountains, although their skins could not be used, But these wild wolves, which weigh more than 300 catties, are enough for the people of Black Iron City to eat for two or three days.

So Shu Han didn't waste it, everything that could still be found and not broken, he brought almost all of them back, and when he walked into the city, the cheers of the people immediately rang out, but then, the sound was extinguished, because the army in front of him was far from what they had in their impression.

Everyone's face was pitch black, the flames not only burned the wolf's body, but also smoked Shu Han's soldiers black, many of them were covered with blood, and there were more than seventy dead soldiers, Shu Han's face was full of heaviness, and the soldiers behind him had a serious face, but in their eyes, the death of their comrades still made them heartbroken.

They are not mature veterans after all, in the face of life and death, there is no way to be so willing, there is no way to put him in their hearts, their discomfort is obvious, looking at those cheering masses, they will only look down at their comrades-in-arms, their comrades-in-arms who will never wake up again, thinking about how good it would be if you could hear it too, and then the tears remained.

The cheering crowd slowly stopped cheering, and the army in front of them didn't seem to need cheers to see them off, and the whole procession slowly lost its voice, and they just watched Shu Han's army pass through the suburban street and walk in the direction of the barracks.

Until an old man, he looked at the army in front of him, seemed to remember something, looked at this army, his right hand slowly raised, and finally made a military salute to this army, and this scene happened to be seen by Shu Han, Shu Han thought, this old man may have been a soldier once, he cleaned up the sorrow in his eyes, and also saluted the old man in the distance.

Shu Han thinks that he is not a soldier, but at this moment, his heart admires this glorious title incomparably, with the old man's soldier, more and more people on the street began to salute, some people are very non-standard, their arms are not straightened, and some people are random and scattered, but Shu Han salutes one by one, as long as he can see the place, he salutes the past.

In the end, when Shu Han walked to the barracks, his arms were already sore, and this welcome ceremony was also the most special welcome ceremony in Black Iron City, there was no applause, no cheers, and no girls' embrace, only loneliness and silence, and all the people who raised their arms.

When he returned to the barracks, Shu Han could clearly feel that the temperament of the people under his command had changed significantly, when they were miners, they were honest, regarded work as a top priority, and didn't care about the outside world, all they thought about all day long was nothing more than making money, marrying a wife, and having children.

Later, although he became a soldier because of his trust in Shu Han, he still had the same habits as before, thinking about how much money he could be given as a soldier, whether he could solve the city hukou, whether he could marry a daughter-in-law in the city, and after he went to the battlefield and fought with the wolf, the thinking of these soldiers changed, and their temperament was different.

At this time, the soldiers are iron-blooded, brave, and also fragile, bloodthirsty people, if there is no goal, it is just a group of murderous knives, when one day the mind collapses, these brave soldiers, will pick up the knife and aim at others, or themselves, at this time, they are heroic and dangerous, Shu Han perceived, but could not change.

At this time, after this welcoming ceremony, it can be seen to the naked eye that these soldiers seem to have changed again, they are still brave, they are still brave and good at fighting, and they are still loyal to Shuhan, but at the same time, deep in their hearts, there are some things that have changed, if they were murderous knives before, then now they are equipped with scabbards, and the cheers and respect of the people are the scabbards of this knife.

In their hearts, they have their own goals from now on, which makes their hearts more firm, war will kill people, it will bleed, and people who come down from the battlefield will often have some mental diseases, because the battlefield is too cruel, and people who have not experienced war will never be able to experience that cruel feeling.

Friends who were talking and laughing just now, in the blink of an eye, they became corpses that fell to the ground and could no longer greet them, this feeling is enough to torture people into ghosts, once Shu Han sent off his grandfather, he had stayed in the morgue for three days, and the people who died of illness tend to be relatively calm, especially those who died of chronic diseases, because their families have already received the news, so in the next few months, they have slowly accepted this fact, and they have said goodbye to each other. The departure was sad, but barely acceptable.

And those who die suddenly, often cry very loudly, and even conflict with the staff of the morgue, such as being murdered to death, or self-killing, or car accidents, natural disasters and deaths, their families often can't accept such a scene, because they don't even have a good goodbye, this morning is still talking about the future ideals, and in the evening they were called to inform them to go to the morgue to recognize people, this feeling, I don't understand if I haven't experienced it.

And the war is more tragic than this, they are very young, but seventeen or eighteen years old, at most twenty-four years old, many people are still students in modern times, is a person in the most energetic age, people of this age, rarely think about death, for them, life is still very long, life is still alive, such years, how do they accept death?

So Shu Han has always been worried that these soldiers will hurt themselves or others because of the battlefield overreaction, but now, he can at least worry a little less, the parade and salute of the citizens have injected the purpose of these soldiers into life, they are not without a purpose to go to the battlefield, not just for money, but also to protect the people of this city.

Ideals are sometimes ridiculous, sometimes too distant to be caught, but at this moment, a goal, an ideal, is more important than money, for these people who go to the battlefield tomorrow, do not know life and death, and at the same time have no wives and offspring, what is the use of money?

It's just a bunch of superficial coins, which is the most difficult thing for Shu Han to do, because if these hidden dangers can be solved with money, it will not be a problem for him, but the problems in the hearts of these soldiers cannot be solved with money at all, and now, the people in the city have soothed these uneasy hearts, which makes Shu Han finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After returning to the camp, Shu Han did not go to rest immediately, although he was already very tired, for the soldiers, the battlefield was cruel, for Shu Han, it was even more so, he was the commander, every soldier's life was carried on his body, and for him, he not only had to bear his own death, but also the lives of everyone, but he still did not choose to rest, but took this army to a wasteland outside the camp, and then let the other people in the camp also come out and form a military formation.

In addition to the five hundred people who followed Shu Han to the north, there were about seven hundred people left in the military camp, and they naturally received the news of Shu Han's return to the camp, and they were naturally very excited when they learned of the big victory, but then, the sacrifice of their comrades made them lose their happy expressions, and at the same time, the fear of the battlefield began to envelop their hearts again, today they died, so what about tomorrow?

Not everyone is fearless of life and death, when they are slaves, they even hope to die early, because there is no hope for the future, but now they don't want to die, they just want to live, like most ordinary people, live ordinary but happy.

They silently sorted out the team, and then left the camp under the leadership of the officers, and came to the outside of the camp, the figures of their comrades-in-arms immediately appeared in front of their eyes, and many people's eyes couldn't help but be a little shocked, when they left, they were similar to themselves, no different, but the equipment was a little more advanced, and the protection was more in place, but now, how to say it.

Many of their equipment is gone, and their bodies are also sloppy, far less decent than those of them who stay in the camp, and their bodies are even more scarred, opened by wild beasts, wrapped in bandages but blood has been flowing, in addition, everyone's faces are black, they are very embarrassed, but the momentum on their bodies is enough to shock all those who remain.

It is a kind of people who have not been on the battlefield, can not have the momentum, more than 400 people just stand there, like a row of pine forests, their backs are not straight, even rickety, the military posture is not stable at all, on the contrary, it is a little ugly, many people cross their waists, hunched backs, fatigue and huge mental pressure, so that they can not show the decency of a soldier as before, but at this moment, they seem to be what people should look like in their hearts.

Seven hundred people silently walked to the side of their former comrades-in-arms, opened their mouths to say something, but said nothing, they were wearing the same military uniforms, but it seemed that at this moment, these people had been reborn and were different from them, which made their eyes also change a little.

Some people disagreed, thinking that these soldiers were stupid in battle, while others had a longing look in their eyes, eager to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy like their comrades, and then get this full of glory, while others had a confused look on their faces, not knowing what to do in the future, and some people had a frightened expression on their faces, afraid that the next person lying on the stretcher would be themselves.

It is impossible for Shu Han to see everyone's expressions one by one, but he also knows that in the face of war, everyone's thoughts are of course different, and what he has to do is to unite everyone's ideas, so that whether they are afraid, curious, or insensitive, they must be under their own banners, to desperately rush to kill, complete his goal, and protect the city.
