Chapter 61: I Am a Hero (3)
This war has caused a lot of damage to the planet of Gona, there is a land baptized by artillery fire everywhere, and the wreckage is everywhere, when Pei Hao and his mecha landed, only three small spaceships and seven mechs were left in this area with the Patriotic Army that survived with them, and the rest of the hundreds were destroyed in this war. As for the other battlefields, without them working together, I am afraid that the result will be even worse.
Of course, although the Gona people did not directly participate in the air battlefield, the intensive bombardment deprived them of the lives of a large number of people, when Pei Hao and the girl's mecha fell, the smell of blood and burnt could be smelled everywhere in front of them, that kind of tragic, Pei Hao, who did not directly touch the relics of the war, was touched for the first time.
The girl left Pei Hao and began to rush to the place in front of her where the corpses were strewn with her, she seemed to be looking for something, because of curiosity, Pei Hao left Angelo and they followed.
When she saw the Gona people in the area, she went up and questioned a man named "Gota" one by one, but all she got was to shake her head.
She suddenly made a strange behavior, and began to rummage through the ruins, sometimes even needing to use her hands to gouge off the debris and soil on the top, exposing the body from the ruins, Pei Hao didn't understand what she was doing.
After a while, the girl's hand suddenly stopped, and a bloody silver star chain appeared in the ruins, she stretched out her trembling hand to pick it up, only for a moment, and suddenly dug up in the ruins frantically, and before long, an arm full of bullet marks was exposed, and soon the girl dug out a man's body, on his face covered with scorched earth, although his face was now bloody and blurred, and he couldn't see the real appearance, but when the girl saw him, she cried all at once.
Tears slipped down her still somewhat immature cheeks, she just cried, but she didn't cry, Pei Hao seemed to understand something, like a girl of her age, this man would never be her lover, the only possibility could only be her relatives.
Next, she continued to dig the soil until the man's entire body was dug out, Pei Hao watched her tearfully pick up the man and walk in one direction.
At that time, Pei Hao's heart was pierced by this kind of picture, although that person was not his relative, but this kind of battlefield tragedy, he had only seen it in TV series or news before, and he knew its cruelty after experiencing it personally, a war was like a huge meat grinder, erasing not the human body, but the trauma of the soul.
Pei Hao didn't know what was wrong with him, so he suddenly rushed to the girl's side and grabbed her arm.
The girl turned to Pei Hao with tears in her eyes, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and Pei Hao just nodded slightly: "Let me come." He couldn't bear to look at the girl's thin body, and struggled to carry a man, which was unfair to her, especially for a little girl who had just experienced the tragedy of war, parted with her relatives and could collapse at any time, he really wanted to help her once.
Pei Hao carried him on his back like this, and carried him to the only remaining small tree in this area according to the little girl's wishes, and stopped there.
She began to dig a pit in the ground again, as if she wanted to bury this man here, but this burial method made Pei Hao very confused: "Why do you want to bury him here, looking at his appearance, he should also be a soldier, for this war, he paid the price of his life, shouldn't these people be buried together and set up a hero cemetery?" ”
As she dug into the earth, the girl said, "This is the rule of our Gona, the dead will be buried under a tree, and although they are dead, we believe that their souls are still there, and they will merge into the tree, and as long as they see it thrive, they will never disappear." ”
"Soul?" In Pei Hao's opinion, this is really an extremely absurd statement, human life is only once, where does the soul come from, this is just a kind of spiritual sustenance of the people of Gona Xing.
When the girl buried the man with her own hands, out of curiosity, Pei Hao asked: "That was your ...... just now"
"He's my brother, the only relative in this world."
At this moment, the girl's tears were gone, although her face was expressionless, but Pei Hao saw a kind of bravery and a kind of strength in her eyes, Pei Hao could hardly imagine what this fragile heart under the strong appearance was bearing, at that moment, she touched Pei Hao again.
……
In an open-air field, a large number of Gona people gathered, an old man with a scepter in his hand walked to a stone built platform, he was the great elder of the Gona people, invited by him, Pei Hao They stood next to him, from here overlooking below, tens of thousands of Gona people dressed in simple clothes were in full view, of course, there were some battle mechs and spaceships of the Patriotic Army parked around.
Soon after, the Great Elder spoke: "Clansmen, we have just experienced a brutal war, the Patriotic Army has helped us resist the Empire's attack, and paid a heavy price, and similarly, our clansmen have suffered countless casualties in this war, but this kind of thing could have been avoided, what is the reason for today's result, has everyone present thought about this matter?" ”
When the Great Elder's words fell, the people of Gona began to talk a lot, until the Great Elder shouted angrily: "That's because of the scum of our Gona people, and he took refuge in the cruel empire, which caused our Gona people to suffer this kind of annihilation. ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was furious, and everyone shouted that they wanted to execute this scum in public, until the two guards on the left side of the high platform pressed a middle-aged man and walked to the high platform under the gaze of everyone.
He is the king of Gona, when Pei Hao saw him, his heart was also ten thousand grass and mud horses, he couldn't wait to step forward and beat this scum violently, he killed thousands of people, how many families parted miserably because of him!
"It's him, Your Majesty the King, who betrayed the Gona clan and colluded with the empire to bring about killings, and in the face of such scum, everyone said, what should we do with him?"
Because he is the king, all the clansmen are silent, because he is the king, all the clansmen actually flinch in fear, this kind of scene makes Pei Hao feel incredible, this is like the feudal society of country A, as long as he hears the emperor's name, he will be frightened by a group of people, he really can't stand it, he suddenly rushed to the front of the great elder, and shouted at everyone: "What are you all afraid of, he is no longer your king, he has done something to betray the Gona tribe, which has attracted the imperial army to slaughter his own people, Are people like this worthy to be your kings? Think about your relatives, how they died, if it weren't for this person, so many tragedies might not have happened, but it was this culprit, this scum, that made Gonastar fall into disaster, if such people can't be punished as they deserve, you are too chilling for the dead people! ”
The Gona people present were touched by this sentence, because their dead relatives fell into grief again, and in the same way, as long as they connected this tragic war to the king, the anger in their hearts gradually ignited, and the king, in order to protect himself, straightened up, and said angrily to his subjects: "I am your king, no one can touch me, you untouchables, forget the ancient teachings, the king is the supreme spiritual leader of the Gona people, and to rebel against the king is a great disrespect to God, and you will bring disaster." ”
Unexpectedly, his words made everyone's anger directly suppressed, Pei Hao could see that there was a superstitious thought in the hearts of the people of Gona people, they believed in gods, and it was difficult to get rid of the feudal shackles.
Pei Hao really couldn't hold back, he rushed over, punched the king in the face, and directly knocked him to the ground, this punch instantly broke out in the audience with a burst of exclamations, everyone was dumbfounded, and they were all stupid.
But at this time, Pei Hao grabbed the king by the collar again, pulled him up, and faced his subjects with some anger: "You stupid guys, don't you still understand the ugliness of this person?" If you let him live, Gona will attract a second or even a third group of Imperial troops, and the people who live here will be slaughtered again and again until Gona is extinct, if you want your planet to end like this, keep him, and continue to let this scum rule you stupid guys! ”
Just as these clansmen hesitated, suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Kill him." ”
This voice came from the center, the voice was very loud, it seemed to have a backlog of emotions, it was a man of the Gona tribe, although it was far away, but Pei Hao could see that when he shouted this voice, his hands were a little trembling, and soon after, someone else also shouted the same voice, when these scattered sounds came out, the clansmen were encouraged, and began to have a chain reaction in this large area, and in the end, the sound of "kill him" over and over again did not subside for a long time, and the more the clansmen shouted, the more angry they became, and the more they shouted, the more energetic they became.
At this time, Pei Hao wiped the cold sweat on his head, and laughed at himself in his heart: "Grandma, Lao Tzu finally didn't work in vain!" ”
Of course, although the king wanted to use some feudal ideas to control his subjects, but this time, the huge wave of sound had overwhelmed his weak voice, even if he shouted hoarsely, no one paid attention to him, his eyes began to appear desperate, and finally he was frightened and collapsed to the ground.
At this time, the Great Elder walked in front of the king, only to see the two guards holding the king to the sides, and when facing the Great Elder, the king completely disregarded the dignity of his king, and knelt down directly in front of the Great Elder, begging for mercy: "Don't kill me, please don't kill me......"
But the Great Elder's scepter was slowly raised, Pei Hao saw that the thing was shining, and when he lifted it above the Great Elder's head, he suddenly slammed it towards the king, only to hear a crisp sound of bones being shattered, the king fell, the whole skull was dented, and the blood flowed endlessly, just like that, the king was killed.
And the people on the field, after a moment of dead silence, were a burst of cheers.
Although the death method is not very good-looking, but it is very relieving, this is the first time that Pei Hao has watched a person being executed at zero distance, and he will be more or less disgusted in his heart, of course, in the face of such a hateful person, he can't wait to spit on his head, so that is called relief.
When the king's corpse was dragged down by the guards, the Great Elder turned to Pei Hao and the five of them, and beckoned the servants to bring a plate, on which were placed five flame badges, similar to the previous ones, and the five people seemed to understand what he meant, and then took off the badge that the king had worn for them before, and threw it under the stone platform.
The elder smiled and brought the badges for them one by one, and at that time, Pei Hao found that the badges flashed, as if they had spirituality.
What surprised Pei Hao even more was that the elder suddenly grabbed his arm and raised it high: "Clansmen, this time we can achieve victory, all thanks to five armored warriors, if they do not join the battle at the critical moment, I am afraid that our homeland will be destroyed, let us use the enthusiasm of the Gona people to offer the highest respect to our friends." ”
In an instant, everyone in the audience shouted: "Heroes, heroes, ......" one after another, wave after wave, each sentence shook Pei Hao's heart, although it was just some words of praise, but Pei Hao felt the beauty and excitement brought by glory for the first time.
At night, the Gona people held a grand bonfire party, in the bonfire party, they used the most primitive method, performed some ancient dances, although Pei Hao looked weird, but the atmosphere was so harmonious that he was completely integrated into it, everyone touched each other's wine glasses, danced in laughter, and with them, Pei Hao suddenly felt that life was much more interesting.
Because he was too happy, Pei Hao was greedy for a few glasses of wine, and under the reflection of the bonfire and the light of the satellites, Pei Hao fell asleep quietly.
I don't know how long it took, Pei Hao turned over in a daze, and when he opened his hazy eyes, he found that a figure appeared vaguely in front of him, as if it was a woman, and he was undressing, only to see her blouse slipping off his body, Pei Hao was still drunk, and the corners of his mouth just smiled so enjoyably: "Beauty, take it off, brother is waiting." ”
The woman turned around, and when she approached Pei Hao, there was only a few seconds of looking at each other, Pei Hao suddenly sat up and retreated to the corner of the wall behind: "You, why are you!" ”
This woman is Kagome who fights side by side with him, although this little girl is very beautiful, but she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, when Pei Hao saw her, it was just an appreciation, and he didn't expect that kind of thing at all, at this time, she exposed her upper body, but it made Pei Hao feel panicked.
Kagome was stunned for a moment, then said, "You are the savior of our Gona people, and I naturally want to dedicate me to you." ”
"What are you kidding, you're just a child, hurry up and put your clothes on, I can't stand you this!"
Kagome looked a little aggrieved, put her hands on her chest, and clasped them together: "Big brother, you dislike me, if you don't want me, the Great Elder will blame me, and I will be looked down upon by all the clansmen." ”
Pei Hao's eyes blinked, and he was speechless: "You put on your clothes first, we are talking." ”
"But ......"
"Hurry up and put it on, or we won't even have a chance to talk."
Kagome paused for a while, then obediently stepped aside, put on the clothes that were already lying on the ground, and when she walked in front of Pei Hao, she actually pleaded with Pei Hao: "Big brother, please ask me, I can't go back like this, the great elder will really blame me." ”
Pei Hao was really speechless, and couldn't help but say a dirty word: "shit!" After a brief silence, he approached Kagome, sat cross-legged, and pulled her hands over: "Little girl, can I ask how old you are this year?" ”
"I, I'm fifteen."
"Fifteen!" Pei Hao suddenly had the urge to scold people, but if he scolded their elders or clansmen directly in front of Kagome, he would definitely be misunderstood by her, and maybe it would cause unnecessary trouble, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and then looked at her very formally: "Listen to me, you are too young, at your age, in my hometown, you are just a little kid who is in high school, or even junior high school, if I do this kind of thing in our country, I will have to bear criminal responsibility, and I will definitely be dragged to squat at this time." , Although I am almost ten years older than you, but this age gap is not small, how can I be ruthless to treat you and ...... Anyway, if you want to have a relationship with me, absolutely not, do you understand? ”
"Then big brother, do you really want me?" Kagome said, tears in her eyes, and she was about to cry.
"Don't, don't, don't, it's not much for you to cry, you wait, let me slow down first!" At this time, Pei Hao's head is very complicated, to say that the beautiful appearance is a man who will be moved when he sees it, but when he thinks of her age, he is looking at this immature little face, if he thinks about it at a deeper level, this girl has just lost her only relative, and suddenly he is forced to have a relationship with him by the elders and clansmen, he feels that he is like a bird. Like a beast, when others are in the most difficult time, taking advantage of people's danger, this is not what a man should do at all, at least for a man with a sense of responsibility and conscience, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible, I saw Pei Hao suddenly jump off the bed, grabbed Kagome's wrist with one hand, and pulled out: "Take me to see your shit elder!" ”
