Chapter 016: Funeral
It was nearly noon, and although it was daylight, it did not give people any warmth. Wisps of cold wind pierced through the forest, like a piece of harmless glass being divided into many tiny broken blades, cutting on the bare face, painful to the bottom of the heart.
In the middle of the mountains, a group of people are walking slowly along the intricate mountain paths. Such cold weather did not seem to affect their cheerful atmosphere, and from the constant conversation, it was not difficult to hear that the reason for their excitement was the dozen or so carriages behind.
"Haha, this thing is called Thor's Hammer. I also saw it when I was fighting on the Northern Front...... This thing is very precious, and it can't be bumped. I used to be in the Great Sword Battalion, you don't see, those soldiers who control this thing can be arrogant, talking to us, eyes are all Nima on the door of the head......" A bearded middle-aged man in the team was gesturing excitedly.
"But others do have arrogant capital, you must know that this thing they control is extremely powerful...... Do you know that weishenme is powerful?" the big man asked himself, "There's a very large blast crystal in here. If the hit is accurate, this crystal flies out and blooms in the center of an infantry team, tsk...... Miserable, miserable, miserable!"
"Uncle Darren, is there any crystal in there?"
"Hey, there's one, I've seen it. The big man stroked his beard and laughed twice, and then sighed again, "Alas, it's a pity that there is only one." If this thing doesn't have crystals, it's like scrap metal. ”
"Uncle, don't be too greedy, it's good to have a crystal. ”
"Well, that's good. It's also right......" Dahan thought about it and smiled happily, "This time we can grab Thor's hammer, and next time we can grab the blasting crystal, haha!"
"......" feelings, this master has become addicted to robbery......
Of course, this group of people is the gray army who returned from the robbery, and the strange thing was recognized by Uncle Darren, who used to be a soldier, called Thor's hammer. The name is very domineering, and the power is also powerful, which can be regarded as an armament heavy weapon.
When the Northern Armament Department of the Bran Kingdom was sending equipment and supplies to the Cangyan Legion, it missed a Thor's hammer. provoked the Cangyan Legion to be very dissatisfied, so he hurriedly urged the infantry brigade to send it, and also sent some supplies to make amends. Unexpectedly, it all fell into the hands of this gray-clothed army whose eyes were red due to lack of food.
The ambush is still some distance from the valley, which is also to be on the safe side. lest someone come to the door as soon as he robbed. Tang En and the others walked for a long time, and finally arrived at the station.
Needless to say, there was immediately another celebratory welcome. Of course, there is also a little sadness in this, the ambush of the Gray Clothes Army was very successful, but it does not mean that they have zero casualties. In this battle, there were more than a dozen casualties among the gray-clothed soldiers, and the wounded were fine, whether they were missing arms and legs, they still saved their lives. But the dozen or so sacrifices can't be recovered, and one of them has a family here. Looking at her relatives who had their eyes closed forever, the woman sat down on the ground with her legs and feet weak......
After a late lunch, Don walked into the cave. He still lives here, but with a wooden door at the entrance to the cave. What, you say that weishenme doesn't live in the wooden house outside? Please, although the wooden house has a mood, but the air leakage is good......
It didn't take long for there to be a knock on the wooden door.
Don opened the door, and saw Josia standing outside.
"Uh, what's wrong?"
............
The cold wind was bitter, and the black crows were singing.
To the east of the valley, there is a slightly sloping mound, and a dozen pits have been dug in total.
All the people in the Grey Army gathered here, standing in a half-moon shape. Inside the crowd was the coffin of the haode that had just been built, and the sacrificed warriors were resting in it.
An old woman was reading some words next to the coffin, looking at the book in her hand, presumably the prayer of the Temple of Light to the dead. Josia kept comforting the bereaved woman. ..., to read the full text, please go to the small-say.net, faster and more complete, wWw
In a moment, the old woman finished chanting.
Darren stepped forward with a solemn face, took a deep breath and said, "Salute!"
The coffin was lifted as everyone bowed down and walked slowly forward, and was lowered into the pit in a quiet atmosphere.
Next, the soil is covered and a monument is erected.
One by one, everyone stepped forward and put the red and white flowers in their hands in front of the monument.
After offering the flowers, Darren blinked his reddish eyes and walked up to the sad woman and bowed deeply: "Madame, I'm sorry, I failed to bring your husband back safely...... Please rest assured, as long as the Grey Army exists, all of us will take care of you!"
The woman covered her mouth, then wiped away her tears: "Captain Darren, it's not your fault...... It's something he wants to do...... It's something he's willing to do...... Woohoo......"
......
After the funeral, the sad lady was persuaded to go back, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Josia didn't leave, but was looking at the white stone tablets fixedly.
"What, still upset?" Don walked over.
"Hmm. Josia wiped her eyes, then looked at Don and said, "After they die, they will meet the God of Light and then enter Paradise, right?"
Ann Paradise, according to the Temple of Light, is a place where good people go to enjoy happiness after death.
Tang En was silent, and then said, "Well, it will come in." ”
"Hah...... Look at me. Josia forced a laugh, blinked his eyes, and said, "You haven't died, how can you know......"
I've died...... But maybe I wasn't a local at the time, and maybe I wasn't a good person, so I didn't go in......
"But I believe that the God of Light will definitely let them in, they are all sacrificed for thousands of civilians!" Josia cut the nail on the head.
"Yes. Don agreed.
Then Josia looked at the stone tablets one by one, as if to remember their names.
"Don, if you die, what inscription will you engrave?"
“...... Uh" Don couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Can't you hope I'm okay?"
"They all said if, well, if it were me, my stele would be engraved with ...... This is a girl who wants freedom and democracy, ha!" Josia said with a smile.
"If it were me, I'd engrave: Actually, I can save ...... again"
"Ah......h
"Ha, just kidding!" Donn smiled, then muttered, "Well, I'll engrave it, I'm a good person!"
"Uh!" Josia, who had just regained her expression, blinked and asked in confusion, "For, weishenme?"
Don smacked his lips: "You think, I'm an assassin, and I can't remember the people I killed...... Only when I engrave on the inscription that I am a good person, and then carry this thing, can I hide from the God of Light and blend into Paradise. ”
"Poof......" Josia couldn't help but slap Don with a smile: "Don, you can't say that, the God of Light can't deceive, he will know." ”
"Hehe, yes......" Don En pursed his lips with a disapproving expression. Can't be deceived? What about Sesman...... Will the god of light also be dark?
"Alright, let's go, let's go!"
"Hmm. Josia bowed to the steles and walked off to Don Valley.
Rattle...... Suddenly, a few crows chirped from behind him.
The two turned their heads, and saw a pitch-black crow landing on the white stone tablet.
"Ah, this is unlucky!" said Josia about to run over to chase away the crows.
Don pressed her shoulder, then narrowed his long narrow eyes and skimmed forward.
Josia suddenly felt a chill on her body, fluttering-
The crow, which was leisurely strolling, flapped its wings and fled in panic as if it had suddenly seen a natural predator of a bird of prey.
Then Don looked up and looked around,
fluttering, fluttering......
A few panicked birdsongs were accompanied by the sound of violent wings, and dozens of crows and other birds around them all flew towards the periphery at a rapid pace, as if something terrifying was chasing after them......
For a moment, there was silence!
