Chapter 45: On the Day of Glory, the Guardian Shield Disappears

After looking at the powerful properties of the Dead's Axe a few more times, Richard fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

After washing, he chose a black robe from the wardrobe and put it on.

Today, a funeral service is to be held for the residents who died.

Several tailors in the territory have sewed a lot of clothes for him these days, and they don't have to worry about wearing clothes.

As the lord of the City of Dusk, the entire realm is his personal belongings, and all the good things are prioritized for his use.

Richard, in a pure black robe, walked out of the lord's mansion, and a black pressure appeared in front of him.

Except for the squads that have not yet returned from their exploration, the entire territory has been gathered.

Everyone's faces were heavy, and they didn't speak, and the scene was exceptionally silent.

The coffins made by the carpenters overnight had already collected the bodies of all the inhabitants and parked them in the open space behind.

It's a little rough, but it's also extremely rare.

The moment Richard stepped out of the mansion, he immediately became the focus of the crowd.

"Your Lord."

"Lord Lord......"

His eyes scanned the crowd, and he silently walked forward step by step from the passage they had left behind.

Everywhere they passed, they held their chests and saluted.

As he walked by, the crowd slowly gathered around him.

Richard's face was heavy and he walked to the place where the coffin was parked, and his gaze lingered on it for a long time.

The atmosphere is getting more and more subtle.

He suddenly let out a long sigh, and then slowly bowed to the six coffins under the gaze of the residents.

Got up, stepped forward, and grabbed the corner of the coffin on the far left.

The surrounding residents were stunned for a long time, and only reacted after a long time, and immediately hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the coffin with him.

When the crowd saw this scene, they inexplicably felt that their throats seemed to be blocked by something, and their hearts were surging.

The lord personally carried the coffin......

What an honor is that? What an honor!!

At this moment, I don't know how many people's hearts are swaying, they can have such a lord, what else do they have to complain about?

No matter how much you say, it's better to act on your own.

Richard's example is coupled with a strong charisma attached to a special skill – leadership.

At this moment, his status in the hearts of the inhabitants of the City of Twilight has reached an unprecedented height.

In a special atmosphere, Richard carried the coffin in front.

Step by step, together with everyone, these sacrificed heroic residents were lifted out of the territory.

The cemetery had already been chosenβ€”in the southwest corner of the city at dusk, about 5 kilometers away, there was a low mound mixed with rubble.

On the desert, Richard, who personally carried the coffin, was in front, and all the inhabitants followed.

At this moment, the sadness in people's hearts has become different because of the addition of the lord of this land.

The crowd followed behind him as if on a pilgrimage, looking at the figure carrying the coffin with extremely hot eyes.

It was as if the coffin in his hand had become a torch in the night, illuminating the way forward and guiding them to the land of hope.

Sacred and sublime.

Gravel dull.

Richard personally placed the coffin in the tomb.

Then he silently picked up the shovel next to him, shoveled and began to bury the soil.

Others followed him.

The air was filled with the sound of shovels digging apart from the sobs of family and friends.

When the grave is formed, everything is done.

Richard put the shovel down and glanced at the crowd with a deep gaze.

He spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone faces the day of their passing."

"Some people die worthless, and even make people spurn."

"There are also people who die great and glorious! Their sacrifice is for the sake of others! ”

"Just like these six heroes you see in front of you."

"They died for the City of Dusk, for each of us!"

"They are heroes, heroes worthy of all of us, they will not be forgotten by the City of Dusk, they will not be forgotten by me!"

With that, Richard stopped abruptly and came to the six blank tombstones.

"Green."

"Nader."

"Rhema."

β€œ......”

From the first one, a name is shouted every grave walked.

And when the crowd heard the names one by one, it was like a battering ram bombarding the heart.

Redness of the eye sockets.

This scene has become a picture that they will never forget.

The Great Lord called each other heroes in front of the tombstones of a group of inconspicuous civilians, and wrote down the names of each of them......

What an honor?!

Adele even covered her face with two hands, and the names pierced her heart like a sharp knife.

Tears slowly slipped down his fingers, even wetting his sleeves.

If it weren't for her, these people probably wouldn't have happened......

After reading everyone's names, Richard looked at everyone again, his tone firm and powerful.

"From today onwards, every dead hero in the City of Twilight will be buried in this land."

"This is the land of glory and the home of heroes."

"And, I have decided to make every year today, May 8, a day of glory to commemorate our fallen heroes."

"Every year on this day, the City of Twilight holds a commemorative ceremony to pray for them."

A day of glory? Remembering a dead hero?

When the residents heard this, they couldn't hold back at all.

One by one, their eyes were red.

As if he had regained his youth, Karui raised his right hand sharply and shouted loudly in a hoarse voice.

"The city of twilight lives forever! Long live Lord Richard!! ”

At this moment, this cry became an outlet for everyone, and they shouted frantically one by one to vent the turbulent emotions in their hearts.

"The city of twilight lives forever! Long live Lord Richard!! ”

"The city of twilight lives forever! Long live Lord Richard!! ”

β€œ......”

At this moment, they recognized their lord from the bottom of their hearts.

When the funeral of the heroes in the Land of Glory was over, Richard went straight back to his territory.

Others can soak up the atmosphere, but he needs to be at the helm.

After breakfast, I plan to continue to go out to scan pictures.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a conspicuous red notice appear on the attribute panel - on May 8, 7600 A.D., the shield of guardians will be shattered in two hours.

Richard was slightly in a trance.

Shattered shield of guardianship?

It's been 7 days.

It's been 7 days since he crossed over to this game world.

Inexplicably, there is a feeling of being in a different world.

It seems that the modern life of seven days ago is a distant thing.

This territory, which belongs entirely to him, has become an inseparable part of him.

It seems that here, more reassuring than everything in modern times.

"Good day, Lord Richard, are you going out now? I...... There's something I'd like to talk to you about. ”

Adele quietly entered the hall when Richard lost her mind.

When he heard this, he woke up.

Gathering his mind, he looked at the girl in front of him with a ponytail and leather boots, and smiled a little.

The copper hammer that this slender girl carries behind her back is taller than a person, which is particularly eye-catching.

Valiant.

"No need to be polite, Miss Adele, please speak up."

Adele looked directly into the eyes of the handsome young man in front of her, her face was straight, and she said solemnly.

"I beg you to let me join the City of Dusk."

Richard's heart was relieved, and he remembered the system prompt that the hero recruitment mission had been completed last night.

looked directly into the other party's eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Miss Adele, have you thought about it? The City of Dusk is located in the desert and is surrounded by a lack of supplies, and it is likely that it will not be able to give you what you want. ”

"In addition, we will face various dangers in the future, such as the hostility of other forces, the siege of bandits, and the attack of sandstorms...... And so on and so forth.

"In order to protect the city of twilight, I need you to forge weapons for the army, and even go into battle to kill the enemy, are you mentally prepared?"

Adele's gaze was steadfast.

"When you are willing to take risks for a few civilians who are inferior to other lords, even sacrificing your own army to bring back their corpses."

"I'm ready."

"Lord Richard, I would like to serve the City of Twilight and be your subordinate."

As he spoke, he put his right hand on his chest and knelt down on one knee.

He lowered his head, which had been held high.

"Ding~ The hero unit Adele Sorin was conquered by your personality charm and is willing to surrender to you, do you accept it?"

Richard nodded, solemnly.

"Adele Thorin, in the name of the Lord of the City of Dusk, I accept your allegiance, and from this day forward, you are a member of the City of Dusk."

"From now on, the city of twilight is with you, you will no longer be alone, and I will always be your strongest backing."
