Chapter 274: The Path to Purification: Death and Life
"Respected representatives of the relatives of the martyrs, their comrades-in-arms, classmates:"
"Today, it is with a heavy heart that we are here to bid farewell to the fallen soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for the country, shed their heads for the happy life of the people of the Emirate, and shed their blood. Here, on behalf of the officials of the Emirate, the military, and the Rune Sect, I would like to express my deep condolences to the soldiers who died bravely, and to express my high respect for the heroic feats of the fallen soldiers!
This is what the white wolf said when he held the collective funeral of the emirate's fallen family, if it was in the past, he would definitely express his deep disdain for such official articles, but today, he can appreciate the wisdom contained in these official articles, they are all words that have been polished and condensed by tens of millions of people, and can say things without leaking or leaving a single flaw.
At the funeral, what is most needed is actually such an article, seeing their relatives buried in the collective grave, this will definitely not be good, everyone's emotions will be more excited, and the white wolf, as the host of the ceremony, has to do is to appease everyone's emotions, so everything said must not be faulty, as long as you can get through this pass, the task of calming the hearts of the funeral will be completed, and the white wolf does not expect any other effect, I just hope that there will be no disputes on such a solemn occasionใ
This is also the reason why he used a flat speech and brought the army to maintain order at the funeral.
After the white wolf's speech, the next step was the burial ceremony, some of the goblin corpses that had been frozen by the white wolf in advance and had not yet decomposed were transported to the tomb.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with arranging these guards.... The crowd was so excited. The white wolf sighed, and the guards withstood the crowd so that the funeral could continue.
"Why did you stop me! I want to see my son, you are his comrade-in-arms, right? Why didn't you die in the first place?" In the chaos, the white wolf heard such a curse, which seemed to come from an emotional family member, which made the white wolf feel a little emotional, although the goblins have many children, but the family affection should not be inferior to that of humans.
When the guards heard this, they were also a little embarrassed, but because of the order, they couldn't really let these family members go, but they continued to maintain the front.
Before the funeral began, the white wolf instructed the group of guards that there would definitely be people at the funeral who would say radical things and do radical things, and they would be mentally prepared to overreact to the behavior of their families at this time, leading to intensified conflicts.
"My three brothers all died in the war, will they be happy in the world after death?"
Just then, a somewhat thin goblin slipped out of nowhere, ran up to the white wolf, and asked the following question.
With the guards there, it was impossible for this group of goblin families to contact the white wolf, but now it seems that there are still loopholes in the front they maintain, and they were actually slipped out by this guy.
Seeing this, the guards around the white wolf drew their swords from their waists, and at the same time, two people from the guards who were in charge of maintaining the line also ran over, and they grabbed the goblin's shoulders and seemed to want to pull it back.
"Stop. The white wolf stopped the guard's action, since the opposite one was in front of him, then he had to give an answer, otherwise he was afraid that the prestige of the god of runes would be damaged to a certain extent.
As for what the afterlife world looks like, this point has not been answered in the teachings of the Rune Sect, because for the white wolf, this other world is his afterlife, he stayed up all night programming and crossed after sudden death, for him, this is the "underworld", but if the people here die again, then where should they go, this white wolf is not clear.
The closest answer to the truth should be: If you die, you will become scum, there is nothing left, the power of the void will devour the information flow emitted by these people, and eventually engulf the world, this is likely to be the final outcome, but the white wolf must not say this at this moment.
"I don't know where they went when they died, but good people will be rewarded, this is the absolute truth, they sacrificed themselves for the emirate, and after death, they will surely have peace and happiness. โ
The white wolf said.
The emaciated goblin seemed to want to ask something, but the guards had already rushed over and pulled him away, and it was clear from the goblin's expression that he was not very satisfied with the white wolf's answer, but it was acceptable to accept it.
The white wolf knew exactly why the goblin was disappointed, because the white wolf didn't give him a realistic vision, which made the afterlife very vague, and ordinary goblins were not easy to accept such a statement.
But even if others can't accept it, the white wolf still has to say this, his attitude is similar to Confucius's, that is, "unknown life, peace knows death", he doesn't know where ordinary individuals will go after death, and then it is possible to travel to other worlds, provided that the soul really exists.
The white wolf himself is biased towards atheism, otherwise he would not have the courage to establish a rune sect, he doesn't want to say that heaven and hell exist, in fact, in his words just now, being able to vaguely admit the concept of soul is already his bottom line.
In the heart of the white wolf, even if there is really a "god", it is just a group of powerful creatures, and its morality may not be able to surpass ordinary people, so naturally there is nothing to revere.
If you worship these creatures simply because they have great power, you will become like the cult of destruction, in the never-ending pursuit of power, surrendering to bloody and brutal authority, and finally destroying yourself.
So the white wolf feels that there is no need to worship these so-called gods, the living benchmark in reality is here, these martyrs, each of them is worthy of emulation by ordinary goblins, if it weren't for the fact that there is no way to unite the hearts of the three kingdoms, the white wolf would not choose to establish a rune sect, now, he only hopes that his sect can play its due positive role and promote the development of the emirate, and the spiritual needs that those rune sects can't provide can actually be provided by these martyrs.
In this way, in a slightly chaotic scene, the funeral ceremony ended smoothly, those who are willing to stay here to mourn the martyrs can continue to stay, and those who want to go back can also go back, the white wolf no longer presided, left the cemetery, and returned to his office.
As soon as he walked into the office, the white wolf saw the black wolf waiting for him in the house, and needless to say, he knew why she had come.
"How's going with the rebels?" The white wolf asked.
"I was about to tell you about it, our army has moved, but the enemy seems to have heard the rumors, launched a rebellion in advance, and is now engaged with our border guards and local security forces. โ
"You mean, we have traitors within us.?" The white wolf asked.
"It's possible. โ
"Can you find out?"
"There are too many people to investigate, but I think if it is a leak of information, there is a higher possibility of traitors in your bureaucracy, and I have screened those soldiers from the First Autonomous Region, and I have not told them the plan of action for this time, nor have they participated. Black Wolf explained.
"I agree with that, now that the bureaucracy is full of loopholes, and some people are so corrupt, it seems that after this rebellion is over, I will have to put the system in order. The white wolf nodded.
"What about the rest? What else do you have to say? How's the retirement going?" The white wolf then asked.
"The Disarmament Committee has drawn up a list, just waiting for your order. The black wolf said that the disarmament committee in her mouth is a discussion platform composed of the leaders of each brigade, and the disarmament quota is evenly distributed, and each brigade must lay off at least half of the combatants, and at the same time, there are some merger and reorganization issues that must be discussed and resolved on this platform.
"The discussion is over so quickly, didn't those leaders say that they didn't want to cut their troops?" Listening to the words of the black wolf, the white wolf was quite surprised, when discussing with himself before, these leaders complained all kinds of grievances, and at the same time said how strong the combat effectiveness of their army was, it would be a pity if it was dismissed, and so on, at that time, the white wolf wanted to solve the funeral matter first, so he ignored these people for the time being.
"It's simple, I told them, if anyone says something like this again, don't want to continue to be a team leader. Immediately these people were honest. The black wolf smiled.
"You have to manage your subordinates well, the army must be under the control of the state, and not controlled by the army, you tell them this sentence, if you encounter this kind of thing again, whoever pushes back in the future, you can get rid of him immediately, you don't care how much merit he has done before, and you don't have to care how good his soldiers are. โ
"I see, you want obedient people, not capable people, can I understand that?" Black Wolf asked.
"That's not what it means, soldiers must obey orders, this is a sufficient condition for them to become a soldier and not a necessary condition, if they do not obey orders, they can automatically be considered disqualified as a soldier, this is the bottom line, not a question of what I personally want. The White Wolf explained that he didn't want to be misunderstood by the Black Wolf in this matter, and that the ancient warlord coups had happened too many times, and he didn't want them to happen again in the Emirate.
