"Raise the flag, Lieutenant."
0169 Realize the wish of this life!
After the solemn ceremony, the crowd in the church gradually dispersed, and Martin sat alone in the first row.
A figure came down the steps and sat beside Martin.His eyes were fixed on the light of dawn, and he was silent.
"head"
"Ah."
After a long silence, Martin took out three blood-stained letters from his pocket, slowly placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of George.
George looked at the three letters. The writing on the envelopes had been covered with blood, and the wax was either squeezed out of shape or a little torn.But you can still recognize where they should come from from the style.
One of the letters was inlaid with gold thread, faintly outlining the pattern of roses, and the pattern was extremely bright red in the bloodstains.
Although the other two envelopes looked plain, such envelopes were by no means affordable for ordinary people.And this size and shape should have been sent somewhere by the 'Du Tianweng' flying thousands of miles, either from the east or the south.
Martin said slowly: "The courier from Bianhe should have sent these letters to the territory two weeks ago, but the caravan where the courier was located was all attacked by werewolves. I found that mailbox while checking the relics. I looked through it and found that these three letters should be for you."
Looking at the three letters, George slowly recognized the wax on the letters. Looking at the seal, he probably guessed what happened.
Those two letters should have been sent from the Duke to Black Pearl Manor.One of them should be a letter written by the Duke himself, so it should have been torn apart.I don't know what Elizabeth meant, so she sent it here again.The other one should be written by Gail.It should be directly sent to Bianhe Town by Tianweng (Johannes does not have the 'beacon' of Tianweng yet).
The last one, of course, belonged to Elizabeth.
After the three letters arrived at Bianhe, when they made a detour to Nanshan, the messenger team was attacked by werewolves, and finally arrived at the shelter two weeks late.
"These werewolves should have lived in Nanshan all the time." Martin's expression was flat, but his eyes kept looking forward, without moving his position: "Residents from all over the place rarely went out before, and there were enough monsters and beasts in the mountains for them to hunt. So occasionally the territory close to Nanshan is attacked, and it is hard to tell who the attacker in the mist is, and the people who saw it are already dead."
George nodded, somewhat understanding why there have been few monsters in Nanshan, but many ghosts.
Martin continued: "But now the entire eastern part of the valley is quiet. It is no longer monsters that are active in the mountains, but humans. So there will often be caravans missing in Nanshan until we investigate the lair. Only then did I realize that there were more than one group of caravans. The funny thing is that I always thought that those people lost their way in the mountains and encountered the remnants of demons, but in fact, other things were killed by werewolves long ago. The only monsters in Nanshan are those werewolves."
"Boss." Martin turned his face and looked at his lord: "That is to say, Nanshan is completely peaceful now. The soldiers have completed their mission."
"How many werewolves are there in that lair?" George asked.Martin and the others made a special trip yesterday to confiscate the soldiers' corpses.It is said that Martin and the others searched around the lair later, but found that all the werewolves entrenched there were dead.
"Forty-eight," Martin said, "not one more, one not less, all here."
George raised his head and looked at the 36 coffins placed on the steps and the 48 heads with spears inserted into them.The brutality of that battle seemed to be witnessed by him at this moment.
They have accomplished an impossible task! !
His mind is still replaying the scene of yesterday's two giant wolves returning to the territory with the remains of three soldiers holding tattered flags.
The flag fluttered in the wind in the snow.
Forty-eight werewolf heads were clattered to the rope and dragged on the giant wolf's tail.Two soldiers without flags, one holding a letter box, the other clutching strips of cloth tied together.
It was completely stained red with blood, and the rags were torn from the cloaks.They should have belonged to 33 people.But on the way, as the seriously injured died, most of them were blown away on the road.
"Wayne, Wayne and the others" Martin gritted his teeth tightly, tears and snot flowing between his teeth, clutching a few blood-stained rags tightly in his hands: "Their long-cherished wish in this life is to be able to wear Put on the red robe. Now it can be regarded as my wish has been fulfilled!"
George knew that Martin was referring to the blood-stained cloak.
That color is more dazzling than the red robes of the knights!
"Martin, the hero's red robe needs to be bestowed by anyone!" George stood up and said, "Because the moment they stepped into the nest, they had already become heroes."
George never thought that before the 'Hall of Valor' was built, heroes would end up here.It never occurred to him that the legion he planned would be marked with a number in advance by the light of dawn on this day:
[Soul of Legion: Wolf Slayer]
[Mission must be fulfilled: There is no sacred object, and there is no dawn.The sergeant goes deep into the dead, illuminating the darkness with his chest.They don't need to be led by heroes, because they are heroes the moment they realize their mission. 】
[Death wish: Even if you fight to the last person, the soldiers will not retreat, because the fate of the soldiers is that the 36 sergeants who died in battle, and the stories handed down by the soldiers of the legion who will die in the future will always be in the legion. Sing. 】
[Revenge: When the sergeants of the Wolf Slaughter Legion face certain monsters, their combat power will increase by 30 (currently: Werewolves)]
[Tip: Special items can now be hung on the school yard of the shelter (relics, flags, trophies, etc. can all be used as representatives).What is on that wall of deeds will affect every soldier. 】
The remains of the soldiers were finally put on red robes by George himself.It was placed in the small tomb that was temporarily rebuilt under the church.After waiting for the completion of the main hall deep below, they will be buried in the place that should belong to them.
Also buried here are the knights who died in the great tomb.
They are side by side!
After the funeral was completely over, George, Anthony and others returned to the castle and read the three letters.
George was most concerned about the two letters between Gale and the Duke.
The Duke's letter was actually addressed to Elizabeth.Mainly thanks to the contribution made by the valley, I specially thanked Elizabeth and her knight named George.
The three barons were also mentioned, without stingy praise.
However, the letters should have been three pages long.But the last page was not put back in the envelope by Elizabeth.
After thinking for a while, George looked at those two pages again.Thinking about the Duke.
It's not difficult to imagine that the Duke, who is far to the east, has fully understood what happened in Wing Feng City.And also guessed who is the leader Judging from the mention of George, the duchess should have told him everything.
Or the 'ears' left by the Duke in Wind Wing City wrote him everything about the matter.
But from a literal point of view, His Excellency the Duke did not care about this matter.It looks very city-like.
The grain was also mentioned in the letter, much to George's relief.
However, only half of the food was sent. The batch sent by Yongfeng City was successfully transported to Clear Water City, but the more peaceful food from Nanfang Waterway to the east was cut off a lot.
But no matter what, the effort was not in vain.
In addition to the grain that was sent to the valley, the other leaders of the caravan also sent a lot of grain.Added together, enough to last for a while.
The letter also said that the battle situation is very anxious. It is reasonable to say that the front line should report good news rather than bad news, especially when writing to him in the rear.So saying these words shows that the situation is already a bit bad.
However, the Holy See, which is stationed in the south, has already dispatched troops. It seems that some opinions in the south have been unified under the efforts of the Holy See.
As for Gale's letter, it was a little less detailed.
It seems that this guy has safely withdrawn to his hometown after arriving in Clear Water City.And on the way back, I took another big tour in the southern country.
He didn't mention much about the batch of grain that he sent.But from the few words, it is not difficult to think of the hardships of this journey.
Although there are not so many monsters in the waterway, the road may not be so peaceful.
After all, there are many territories to go through.
