Chapter 016 Funeral
It was almost noon, and although it was sunny, it could not give people any warmth. The cold wind through the forest was like a piece of harmless glass that was divided into many small broken blades, cut on the exposed face, and it hurts to the heart.
Among the mountains and ridges, a group of people were walking slowly along the intricate mountain roads. Such cold weather did not seem to affect their cheerful atmosphere. From the constant conversation, it is not difficult to hear that the reason why they were excited was the more than a dozen carriages behind.
"Haha, this thing is called Thunder Hammer. I have seen it while fighting on the northern frontline... This thing is very expensive and cannot be blocked. I used to be in the Great Sword Camp, **, you haven't seen it. Those soldiers who control this thing are so arrogant. When talking to us, their eyes are all on their foreheads..." A middle-aged man with bearded face in the team was gesticulating excitedly.
"But others do have the capital to be arrogant. You have to know that the thing they control is extremely powerful... Do you know why it is powerful?" The man asked and answered, "There is a large explosion crystal in it. If the attack is accurate and the crystal flew out to bloom in the center of an infantry team, tsk... miserable, miserable, so miserable!"
"Uncle Darren, is there any crystal in it?"
"Hehe, there is one, I've seen it." The man smiled twice, then sighed, "Oh, **, it's a pity that there is only one. If this thing is gone without crystal, it will be like scrap iron."
"Uncle, don't be too greedy. It's already great to have a crystal."
"Well, it's not bad. It's right..." The man thought about it and smiled happily, "This time we can grab the Thor's Hammer, and we can grab the explosion crystal next time, haha!"
"..." This man has become addicted to doing the robbery career...
Of course, this group of people were the people of the gray-clothed army who returned from the robbery. The strange thing was recognized by Uncle Darren, who had been a soldier. It was called the Hammer of Thunder. The name is very domineering and powerful, and it is considered a heavy weapon for the military.
When the North Armed Forces Office of the Bran State delivered equipment and supplies to the Cangyan Legion, it leaked a Thunder Hammer. The Cangyan Legion was very dissatisfied, so it hurriedly urged the infantry brigade to deliver it, and even gave some supplies to apologize. Unexpectedly, it all fell into the hands of this gray-clothed army with red eyes that were short of food.
The ambush place is still a distance from the valley, which is also for the sake of safety, so as not to be found by someone just robbed. Tang En and his friends walked for a long time and finally arrived at the station.
Needless to say, there was another celebration and welcome immediately. Of course, there was a bit of sadness in it. The ambush of the Gray Clothes Army was very successful, but it does not mean that they had zero casualties. In this battle, there were more than a dozen casualties, and the injuries were all good. Whether they were missing or broken legs, they still saved their lives. But the dozen sacrifices could not be saved. One of them had a family here. Looking at the relatives who had been laying their eyes closed forever, the woman's legs and feet became weak and she collapsed on the ground...
After the late lunch, Tang En walked into the cave. He still lives here, just adding a wooden door to the entrance of the cave. What, why don’t you live in the wooden house outside? Please, although the wooden house is romantic, is the air leaking good?
Before long, the wooden door was knocked.
Don opened the door and saw Joshia standing outside pretty.
"Uh, is there something wrong?"
…………
The cold wind is shrill and the black crows are roaring.
On the east side of the valley, there is a mound with a slightly slope. At this time, a total of more than a dozen pits were dug here.
Everyone in the gray-clothed army gathered here, standing in a half-moon shape. Around the crowd, there were just-made coffins, and the sacrificed soldiers were sleeping in them.
An old woman was chanting some words next to the coffin, looking at the books in her hand, probably the prayers of the Temple of Light for the deceased. Joshia kept comforting the woman who had lost her loved ones.
After a moment, the old woman finished reciting.
Darren stepped forward with a serious expression, took a deep breath and said, "Hello!"
The coffin was lifted up as everyone bowed and walked forward slowly, and was put into the pit in a quiet atmosphere.
Next is to cover the soil and erect the monument.
Everyone walked forward one by one and placed the red and white flowers in their hands in front of the monument.
After offering flowers, Darren blinked his red eyes and walked to the sad woman and bowed deeply: "Madam, I'm sorry, I failed to bring your husband back safely... Please rest assured that as long as the Gray Army exists for one day, we will take care of you!"
The woman covered her mouth and wiped her tears: "Captain Darren, it's not your fault... This is what he wants to do... This is what he is willing to do... Woo woo..."
...
After the funeral, the sad lady was persuaded to go back, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Joshia didn't leave, and was staring at the white stone tablets in a daze at this moment.
"Why, are you still sad?" Tang En walked over.
"Yes." Joshia wiped her eyes, then looked at Tang En and said, "After they die, they will meet with the God of Light and then enter the Paradise?"
The Paradise, the Temple of Light, says it is a place where good people go to enjoy their happiness after they die.
Tang En was silent and then said, "Yes, I will enter."
"Ha... look at me." Joshiaqiang smiled and blinked, "You have never died, how could you know..."
I've died... But maybe I was not a local resident at that time, or maybe I was not a good person, so I didn't go in...
"But I believe that the God of Light will definitely let them in. They all sacrificed for thousands of civilians!" Joshia said firmly.
"Yeah." Tang En echoed.
Then Joshia looked at the stone tablets one by one, as if she wanted to remember their names.
"Tang, if you die, what inscription will you engrave on it?"
"…Uh" Tang En couldn't help rolling his eyes, "You can't expect me to be better?"
"Everyone said if it is, well, if it is me, my stone tablet will be carved... This is a girl who pursues freedom and democracy, ha!" Joshia said with a smile.
"If it were me, I would be: Actually, I can save it again..."
"Ah..." Joshia opened her mouth wide, her blank expression a little cute.
"Ha, just kidding!" Tang En smiled, then pondered: "Well, I will carve it, I'm a good person!"
"Uh!" Joshia, who had just recovered her expression, blinked and asked in confusion, "Why, why?"
Tang En smacked his lips: "You think, I am an assassin, and I can't even remember the person I killed in my hand now... Only by engraving the inscription I am a good person and then carrying this thing can I hide it from the God of Light and sneak into the paradise."
"Puff..." Joshiya laughed and hit Tang En: "Tang, you can't say that. The God of Light cannot deceive him, he will know."
"Haha, right..." Tang En curled his lips, looking disapproving. Can't you deceive? What about Sethman... Will the God of Light be dark under the light?
"Okay, let's go, let's go!"
"Yes." Joshia gave a deep bow to the stone tablets at the end, and then walked to the Tangen Valley.
Gaga... Suddenly, a few crows came from behind.
The two of them turned their heads and saw a pitch-black crow falling on the white stone tablet.
"Oh, this is unlucky!" Joshia was about to run over to drive away the crow.
Tang En pressed her shoulders, then narrowed her narrow eyes and turned forward.
Joshia suddenly felt cold and fluttering—
The crow, who was struggling leisurely, suddenly saw a bird of prey, flapping its wings and fleeing in panic.
Then Tang En looked up and moved his eyes four times.
Flutter edge, flutter edge...
A few panicked bird songs accompanied by violent wings flaming sounds, dozens of crows and other birds flew quickly to the outside, as if something terrifying was chasing behind them...
