Chapter 50: The Army Spirit of Hellfire
Early the next morning, Nail's funeral took place as scheduled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
All the soldiers of the Hellfire Fortress gathered in the fortress square.
The five major formations are all here.
From left to right, there are the ghost hand formation led by Major Tan Zhong, the skull formation led by Major Huang Kexing, the Styx formation led by Major Zhou Ming, the green fire formation led by Major Zhang Zeqing, and the dark fang formation led by Major Feng Hong.
Five major formations, each formation has ten squadrons, each squadron has twenty squadrons, each squad has ten people, and the combat troops of the entire Hellfire Legion add up to tens of thousands.
Now, these soldiers were all dressed in solemn uniforms, with solemn faces, and stood straight at their waists.
On the left side of the five formations, stood the solemn command guard troops.
The number of this force was not large, at best there were only five squads, about five hundred people.
They are responsible for the day-to-day realm and sentinel missions of the Hellfire Citadel Command.
On their other side, a group of angels dressed in white.
Li Muchen stood at the forefront of the military medical division, his face full of sadness.
Next to the medical division is the phalanx of recruits.
Devil instructor Gu Tiecheng stood at the front of the recruit phalanx, and the other recruits were arranged in order according to their positions during training.
Of the fifty recruits, there was only one vacancy missing.
That's where the nail is.
It was right next to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing's waist was stretched like a flagpole, his face was expressionless, but his heart was sad and irrepressible.
In addition, there were some Hellfire soldiers, who were soldiers who did miscellaneous labor, and they also joined the funeral procession.
They were not required to attend this funeral, but they still took the initiative to put on the cleanest military uniforms and stood quietly behind the phalanx of recruits.
They may not know the nail, and they may not know the existence of Chen Xing, but they all know that they are going to bid farewell to a hero today.
If it weren't for the sacrifice of the nails, there was a good chance that the Hellfire Fortress would have been outflanked and captured in the war last night.
Once the Hellfire Fortress falls, the Alien Zerg will form a trap and trap the main forces of the five major formations in the Needle Canyon.
That would be a very fatal consequence.
The flames of war will soon spread to the town of Linhe and to the relatives of everyone present.
Yes, they may not know the nail, and they may not know the existence of Chen Xing, but they all know that they are going to bid farewell to a hero today.
There was a rumbling sound in the sky, and a hovering helicopter slowly landed on the platform of the square.
The door of the helicopter opened, and two old men who were about to collapse in tears were helped out by the soldiers.
These two old men are the parents of the nails.
They have been old and have children, but they didn't expect that now it would be a white-haired person to say goodbye to a black-haired person.
"The family has arrived! Salute all! ”
With a tragic and hoarse roar, all the soldiers and officers of the Hellfire Fortress raised their hands to salute the parents of Ding Tianlai!
The parents of the nails slowly walked through the soldiers and made their way to the rostrum.
In the short distance of 600 meters, they shed countless tears, and it took a full ten minutes to finally finish.
And in the process, all the soldiers, not a single one of them lowered their arms.
Many of the soldiers' faces were already covered with tears.
They empathize with their parents, and when they see their parents, it's like they see their own parents.
Li Muchen was already crying.
Devil instructor Gu Tiecheng also burst into tears.
Don't look at him who usually scolds these recruits for being rice buckets, scum, and stupid, but in fact, he thinks these recruits are his children.
The reason why he insulted them and trained them strictly was precisely because he did not want these children to die innocently on the battlefield.
However, after all, war is cruel, cruel, full of blood and glory, and cannot be without casualties.
Now, one of his children has died honorably, and as an instructor, he is very sad in his heart, but at the same time he is proud and proud of him.
The recruits were almost in tears.
Dota, Zhao Dian, and the big head were about to convulse from crying.
Nails are their brothers, brothers who have fought side by side together, brothers who have vowed to "never abandon and never give up".
How can they not be sad if people are separated today?
Chen Xing's face was still expressionless, but his saluting hand was trembling slightly.
His body had tensed to the limit, and he had been trying to restrain his emotions.
He has already cried when he should cry, and the rest should be full of strength and hard work!
Try to make yourself stronger! Try to protect your comrades! Don't let the nails die in vain!
Thinking of this, the bones of Chen Xing's whole body gurgled, and the green tendons on his neck burst out!
"Rite over!"
It was only after the nail's parents were seated at the front desk that the ceremonial officer ordered the soldiers to lower their arms.
Mo Beiqing, the commander of the Hellfire Legion, walked in front of the nails' parents with a solemn face, and saluted them heavily and forcefully.
"Ding Tianlai's parents, thank you for cultivating a combat hero for the Hellfire Legion!"
Mo Beiqing said in a deep voice: "With the approval of General Li Zhengye, the commander of the Northern Fortress Command, Ding Tianlai is hereby awarded the title of "Special Battle Hero"!" ”
"Your son is a revered hero!"
"From today onwards, the Hellfire Legion will support the two of them until the end, and give them a pension of 1 million Star Coins every year!"
"Whatever you need, the Hellfire Legion will do its best to meet them!"
"From today onwards, the more than 10,000 Hellfire officers and soldiers present are all children of the second elder!"
The nail's parents tearfully nodded in thanks, they choked up several times and couldn't say a word.
"Play mourning! Send the heroes! ”
The solemn mourning music sounded, and eight ceremonial soldiers carried the heavy steel coffin on their shoulders and walked to the rostrum with neat and slow steps.
"Salute!"
All the officers and men saluted again.
In addition to sadness, everyone's face also has a little more fortitude.
The steel coffin with the Hellfire insignia was gently placed on the rostrum, the lid ajar open, and the nails lay peacefully in it.
He was smiling, as if he was just asleep, dreaming of something.
He was dressed in a neat Hellfire soldier uniform, and his chest was covered with a jumping Crown Stag banner.
This is the flag of the Empire.
It is only with the approval of the state that the body can be wrapped in the imperial flag.
Nail's parents lay down on the steel coffin and wept bitterly.
No one can understand their pain in the loss of their beloved son.
This is the price of war.
And the only way to make this price not pay in vain is to win the war.
The farewell ceremony of the nail lasted all morning.
It wasn't until noon that the steel coffin was buried in an evergreen forest on the peak of Hongtai Mountain.
A tall monument was erected on top of the nail's grave.
The inscription reads:
"Here lies a hero,
He sacrificed himself to save the entire Hellfire fortress,
He's just a recruit,
But he's the spirit of hellfire."
May the nail brothers rest in peace!
