Chapter 170: Departure
A raging fire ablaze on the chalky island, burning not only the base built by Chab, but also the corpses of the vanquished.
Everyone stood on the deck in silence, it was the first time they had experienced such a big war, and it seemed like a dream.
Tang Ba looked back at the rows of bodies lying on the deck, and couldn't tell what kind of mood it was, she didn't know these people, but she was in awe of the deceased.
They shouldn't just die quietly, even if they won't be remembered again, there should be a ritual to see them off.
"Let's have a memorial service!" said Damba.
"Good. Gong Hui and Nuo Yi nodded in unison.
The warriors set up a high bonfire on the shore to be burned, while the sailors put the bodies of their companions on the side of the ship and prepared to set sail and throw them into the sea for burial.
The two different methods are their own condolences to the deceased, but because of the different methods, the people on both sides have disputes.
Gong Hui and Nuo Yi both thought that they should hold the ceremony separately, but Tang Ba felt that it was very inappropriate, and he didn't expect that his words would once again alienate the two sides from the hearts of the military.
Although the identities and status of the two sides are different, they are comrades-in-arms on the same front, and this incident seems to be insignificant but related to cohesion.
Tang Ba had no choice but to come forward to mediate, originally thought it would be very laborious, but he didn't expect it to be very smooth, which made Tang Ba a little surprised.
However, this result is inevitable!
Without Tang Ba's knowledge, the story of her and Chab's duel came out through the mouths of those witches, and it has spread to everyone's ears, they are afraid of the unknown, they worship the strong, and Tang Ba can defeat the unknown, it is the strong that they jointly identify!
A long row of pyres was erected on the shore, where the bodies of all the deceased, whether they were witches, soldiers, or sailors, all of whom were arranged under the guidance of Tamba.
The wounds on his body were re-stitched, the messy hair was re-groomed, the blood and dirt were wiped clean, and he was changed into neat clothes.
Tumba told them to let their companions finish this last journey in the best possible way.
Everyone looked at the peaceful faces of the deceased, and invariably thought that if they were lying here, there were also companions who seriously sorted out their appearance, and also let themselves leave in a beautiful way, and a warm current unconsciously poured out in their hearts.
"Fallen Heroesβ" Tang Ba stood facing the crowd with a solemn and solemn expression holding up his torches, "Your bravery has brought us vitality, your demise has brought us victory, we come to pay tribute with a grateful heart, we see you off with a grateful heart, and each of us will remember you and go all the wayβ"
As the words fell, Tang Ba placed the torches in his hand on the pyre, and the following torches were placed on it one after another, and a wall of fire was connected in an instant.
Perhaps influenced by the Damba, everyone will recite the phrase "go all the way" when placing the torch, and although no one is sad, they all feel respect for the deceased.
The whole ceremony did not have a complicated process, without too many words, but once again let the two parties reunite.
They are about to set off for Zhongao, where a tough battle awaits them, but strangely enough, none of them are afraid of death, but are eager to try the war that is coming!
They hooked their shoulders and called each other brothers, but they also argued endlessly over some trivial matters, such as the question of the ownership of Tang Ba, and they were already fighting over each other.
Wu and the soldiers think that Tang Ba is a witch and should be their person, and the sailors are very unconvinced, firmly believing that Tang Ba is a member of their shipyard company, and the protagonist who is talking about it is following Kanga to find a series of footprints in a pothole in the snow.
"There should be 3 people, and a few hunting beasts. Nuo Yi looked up at the wind and snow, then leaned over to check again, and finally confirmed: "The traces are still fresh, and they left for 3 knots." β
"Isn't that when the Chabu camp was burned!" Tang Ba sniffed his red nose, "I didn't see the danger, Kanga, how did you find out?"
"I heard the cry of the hunting beast, but it wasn't here, it was like ......" Kanga tilted his ears slightly, as if he was recognizing, as if he was remembering, and then pointed in one direction: "...... It's like there. β
And Gong Hui is returning from this position, "The traces disappeared, it should have been deliberately erased." β
"I don't know if it's a lonely person or an Eagle Lu person. Tang Ba pulled the cloak behind him and said, "Anyway, you have to be careful." β
Gong Hui's heart tightened, but the corners of his lips still smiled, "Are you leaving?"
"Well, I'm going to take Kanga back to Hongmirin to see Eminem. Tang Ba glanced at Kanga, who was wearing a single coat, only to feel colder, "Let's go, I can't find those people anyway." β
"When are you leaving?" said Gong Hui casually.
"Just go back and go, Gu Rong is sorting things. Tang Ba raised his hand to brush the snow that fell on Kanga's eye sockets, and took out a black cloth from his waist bag and handed it to Kanga, "Tie it, the snow will not melt when it falls on you." β
Kanga grinned, but the black cloth he took was wrapped around his wrist, "Then you can just watch!"
"Hey!" Damba raised his foot and kicked over, but was dodged by Kanga.
Gong Hui watched the interaction between the two, and an indescribable sourness welled up in his heart.
The fleet of ships parked on the shore was ready to depart, and Damba was ready to return to Devis with Kanga and Gu Rong.
Regarding Tang Ba's decision, Nuo Yi did not express his position and did not see him off, and his calm face was enough to prove that he was in a very bad mood.
Gong Hui still looked as usual, and kept sending people to hidden places, so that he didn't want more people to see Tang Ba's departure.
Tang Ba glanced at Gong Hui several times, and finally let Kanga and Gu Rong take a step first, and winked at the person who wanted to speak, "If you have something to say, just say it." β
Gong Hui smiled helplessly, and gave the cloth bag prepared in advance to Tang Ba, "The explosive fruit you like." β
"I like this. Tang Ba smiled, she really wanted to eat this bite, she had always wanted Eminem and Kanga to taste it, but this time it was finally possible, "Thank you!"
Gong Hui gently grabbed the people who were close at hand, his eyes seemed to be greedy, nostalgic, reluctant, and sad, and a thousand kinds of flavors gathered in it, showing the depth and complexity of it.
Just this glance made Tang Ba's heart beat wildly.
Not the perception of danger, but the panic of emotion!
"Tamba. Gong Hui said solemnly: "Don't come back if you leave, take Kanga and Gu Rong to live well." β
The panic came to an abrupt end!
Tang Ba glanced at Gong Hui fiercely, and said angrily: "I want you to take care of it!"
Really!
Tang Ba shook his hand and left, leaving only Gong Hui's back with an angry back......
