Chapter 68: A New Future
After soaking in the sea, the healer asked the warriors to stay on the shore for a few more days, and only when they were sure that Barro's poison was completely removed, did everyone relax completely. Only now did they finally achieve a real victory in this war.
The Sava people, who had no artistic talent, but liked to sing and dance, and the Fijian people, who were naturally romantic, loved singing, dancing and feasting, and a real carnival of victory began. Even the half-bloods, who had always been docile and restrained, were infected by this joyful atmosphere, and could not help but rejoice with them.
Bonfires lit the entire beach red, and the smell of wine and barbecue wafted in the wind, and even the prisoners of war from the Eastern Continent were lucky enough to have a full meal.
Tusalon had already ordered the weapons of the prisoners of war to be collected, but most of the soldiers in the Eastern Continent had a dull expression, and they originally went to the battlefield with the consciousness of sacrifice, but they didn't want to survive it, which made them a little overwhelmed. Ever since they had been soaked in the sea with the Savoyard and had been detoxified by the Baro, Tusalon had kept all the prisoners in one place, regardless of the country they belonged to. The Allied soldiers barely communicated with each other, and the food distributed to them by the Sava Edicts was silently eaten, but most of their expressions were very wooden, without any aura at all, like a puppet that could not think.
Tussalon, who was sitting by the campfire and had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, asked Shi Jiaqi curiously on the side: "I heard that you split the warship of the Eastern Continent in half from the middle, how did you do it? Also, did a huge sea beast really appear before?"
Hearing this, Shi Jiayan couldn't help but laugh and said, "The establishment of those two three-eyed unicorn sea beasts has contributed a lot. In fact, as early as more than 100 years ago, they and the Fiji people were already old friends. Three-eyed unicorns are long-lived and mild-mannered, intelligent enough to understand our language. Despite their scary appearance, they only eat seagrass and never harm passing fish. Assi just made two slashes in advance on the bow and stern of the big warship. Then, we quietly drove the hooks and ropes under the outer strings and waterlines of the great warship, and finally let the two three-eyed unicorns help pull the side of the ship out from both sides in the water. In this way, the great battle ship was violently split apart from the place where it had been slashed by the blade, making the scene extremely spectacular and terrifying. Originally, it was deliberately to create momentum, in order to scare those guys in the Eastern Continent, haha......"
"So that's ......" Although it was just a simple sigh in his mouth, Tusaron was shocked in his heart, the Fiji man named Assi was really unusual!
Tusalon remembered that when he first saw Assi on the ruins of Solong City, he already had an intuition that the man was very dangerous, but he didn't expect that Assi was far more terrifying than he thought. Despite his lighthearted words, Tusaron knew that he could single-handedly slash the hull of a huge warship with thousands of men, so that the ship would not leak before it was noticed...... Those two knives are not something that anyone can draw. Moreover, Tusaron had previously observed the wreckage of warships floating on the sea, and was surprised to find that some of the ships had been cut directly and neatly along the waterline, and most of the decks and bilges of those warships had been cut off from top to bottom.
I am afraid that this kind of terrifying way of fighting cannot be achieved by physical strength alone. But what's even more terrifying is that this person with unimaginable abilities can be so unknown. Tusaron was sure that no matter in the Western Continent or the Eastern Continent, there might not be a second person like this, it was simply an excellent secret weapon, fortunately, he didn't have to be an enemy, otherwise there would be no chance of victory. Thinking of this, Tusaron couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat.
Shi Jiayan glanced thoughtfully at the prisoners of war in the distance, and said to Tusaron: "Those soldiers of the Eastern Continent only obey the orders of the nobles, and they are afraid that they will not be able to do anything except fight. ”
"Hmph, what a wretched bunch!" Tusaron scoffed.
But they did not realize their pity, they were nothing more than mass-produced war machines, and their ideas and values had long been shaped by the aristocracy. They have been educated to convince them that their actions are right, honorable, noble, and natural. Therefore, they will only feel happiness from this act of sacrificing to serve the country, thinking that only in this way can they realize the value of their lives. After a quick visual inspection, Shi Jiayu said, "It seems that there are at least nearly 100,000 people, right? Your Majesty might as well hand them all over to the half-bloods, and then learn how to farm, so that they can learn to feed themselves first. ”
Tusalon smiled: "It's okay, I'm also thinking about this matter, anyway, I don't have so many prisons for them to eat and live in vain, and it is impossible to bother to build a ship to send them back to the Eastern Continent." In the future, let them go to the west to live, dig ditches, build reservoirs, plant trees and grow food, create windbreaks, and give them a chance to be self-sufficient. ”
After a whole night of revelry, the bonfires were still shining with stars, and the people were drunk and hazy, but they didn't want to sleep.
Tusaron hadn't slept for two nights, and he didn't feel tired at all, perhaps because he was too excited. Because, once again, he truly experienced the wealth and joy brought by the "sharing" that the streamer people once said. It turns out that sharing really doesn't make people lose anything, but makes people gain more......
At dawn, the fiery red sun rises over the horizon. Looking at the gentle red sun, Tusalon inexplicably remembered the flaming child. Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that that strange child is like the rising sun in the sky, pure and bright, soft and warm. It's strange why I haven't felt this way before? Probably because my state of mind has changed? If my heart is peaceful, everything in my eyes is beautiful.
Tusaron stood up happily and saw two backs on the beach not far away, watching the sunrise quietly, none other than Shi Jiadi and Assi. Tusalon couldn't help but walk over and feel the hard-won peace side by side with them.
"It turns out that the sunrise over the sea is so magnificent. Tusalon sighed, "The Streamers are about to arrive in the Eastern Continent, right?"
"Yes......" Shi Jiadi's voice was like a gentle morning breeze, almost inaudible.
"I don't know what the future of the Eastern Continent will become...... Tusalon's voice gradually drowned out in the endless alternating tides.
At this moment, what they are looking at in their eyes may only be the sunrise between the sea and the sky, and what they are looking at in their hearts may be the invisible east continent and west coastline, right?
