Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight sacrifice heroic soul(1/2)
Klein has become a standard scammer who had the best intentions but did the worst things, at least for the Council of Elders.
Now that there is no such thing stirring things up, things will become smoother.
With this mentality, the Council of Elders reacted a little indifferently to Klein. They neither sent anyone to reprimand nor invited him back.
The five-member Great Elder Council has temporarily become four.
Fortunately, the Kingsley family is also gathering strength and has no intention of launching a large-scale war in the short term.
After all, without the cooperation of ships, he would not be able to cross the Danube River.
But the problem is that the Carter Army does not even have a relatively large river. It is so fierce that there is no way to build so many ships, especially warships. Even if they want to build them themselves, there are not so many craftsmen.
For this reason, Akmesser specially sent a letter to Archduke Buck, explaining the situation and asking him to help solve this problem.
Now Lord Buck is jumping up and down, trying to figure out how to solve this problem, and even puts his idea on the heads of the Princess Regent and the leader of the Evernight Army.
It's a pity that one of them least wants them to take over the Swamp of Despair, and the other is their biggest opponent. No matter how much money he pays, he can never buy a sampan from them.
However, Yong Yejun and his family are not the only ones who can build ships.
Archduke Buck set his sights on the exiled family Commons. Their current power was mainly at sea, and their shipbuilding capabilities could only be compared to that of the Conclave of Witches.
The two sides can be called a wolf meeting a wolf, and they hit it off immediately.
After all, one needs a ship, and the other needs a media point to intervene in the political structure of the mainland. Money is somewhat indifferent to both.
However, it also takes time to operate. After all, the ships built by the Commons family in the past were mainly large sea-going ships, and the number of flat-bottomed boats in their hands was only handful.
There is a big difference between sea-going ships and river-going ships. In order to cope with the storms and waves at sea, the former usually have a very deep draft. If they sail into the inland river rashly, they will accidentally run aground on the rocks.
In particular, the water environment in the Despair Swamp is complex, and it is very useful for large ships to arrive here.
No matter from which point of view, the conditions for the Kingsley family to fully invade the Swamp of Despair are not mature.
Grand Duke Buck and Archmesser are not fools. In this case, even if the leader of the Yongye Army provokes them again, they will not start another war.
If you do too much, it will easily arouse their vigilance, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Therefore, the Yongye Army Leader has been somewhat quiet recently, but has continued to increase its trade relations with the Crocodile Tribe.
With the self-development of profit-seeking businessmen, more and more special products have been developed in the Despair Swamp, such as unique subtropical fruits, grains that can grow in shallow water (similar to rice), sugar cane with extremely high sugar content, etc.
.
Especially the latter two, once developed, the value contained in them is absolutely beyond imagination.
The Crocodile people guard the treasures empty-handedly without knowing how to make reasonable use of them. If they fall into the hands of the leader of the Yongye Army, they naturally want to maximize their value.
The ensuing journey of the Messenger went smoothly, and under the escort of a large number of merchant ships, it quickly arrived at the Death Channel.
"Singing Arrow!"
Special resounding arrows fired from large ballistas resounded throughout the sky.
Twelve on each side, firing in unison, the scene was very spectacular.
"Ring the bell!"
The huge alarm bell on the top of the Death Channel was sounded loudly, accompanying the Messenger all the way.
"Array up!"
As soon as they entered Andis Inland Lake, two teams of charging speedboats came up to meet them.
"salute!"
Even from dozens of meters away, the soldiers on board the Messenger could clearly hear the uniform salute.
The soldiers on the Messenger, except those who couldn't put down their work, couldn't help but return the favor.
The blood in his body was surging crazily, his face was red, and an indescribable pride filled his heart.
Twenty-four arrows greet those who are born.
The soul-returning bell rings to attract the deceased.
This is the hero's triumphal ceremony that the Yongye Army leader just decided two years ago.
They were welcomed as heroes.
This was something none of the officers and soldiers of the Messenger expected to do. They only thought they had done what they should do.
What's more, if it hadn't been for the appearance of the mysterious giant eagle, they would have been buried in the belly of the fish.
The welcoming ceremony only came to a successful conclusion when the Messenger was escorted to the Rock.
Sean, dressed in military uniform, saluted the young captain with a standard eternal night military salute and said: "I'm here to welcome the fallen soldiers home."
Not only him, but also Marshall, Relf, McGee, Chad, Tagore, Erikson, Woody, Ban Hebrew and a series of military leaders who could be named were all here, divided into two columns.
Follow Sean in an orderly manner.
"The bodies of thirteen fallen soldiers are here, and the bodies of seven fallen soldiers were lost. I'm sorry, General, I couldn't bring them back." Even in the face of a life-and-death crisis, the young captain did not frown. At this time,
At this scene, I couldn't help but cry, and my words were full of self-blame.
"There is no need to blame yourself. You have done a good job. Don't worry, the Soul Returning Bell will guide them back to their hometown." Sean said very solemnly.
Since there is no way to eradicate belief, then establish a belief that is more beneficial to governance.
The leader of the Yongye Army chose to change and integrate the Andis people's belief in ancestors and heroes to a certain extent, making it more ritualistic and inspiring.
Judging from the current situation, the effect is very good. Not only the soldiers of the Messenger who are involved in it, the sad atmosphere of heavy casualties has been relieved a lot, and the morale has skyrocketed. The other Yongye soldiers who are watching the ceremony also feel the same and their blood is boiling.
With this kind of post-mortem treatment, why not die in battle?
His deeds will be passed down forever, his name will be remembered by his tribe forever, and he will become a heroic spirit to guard this land.
The Eternal Night Army led a group of official leaders to personally support the coffins of these fallen soldiers. The one that Sean held up was the Eternal Night Knight who desperately tried to stop Klein for a few seconds and provided him with a critical breathing space.
However, the coffin only contained half of his body. After his death, he was used as a weapon by Klein, and that half was completely lost.
Everyone supported the coffin and headed all the way to the Hall of Heroes, which is thirteen kilometers away from Andis Inland Lake.
The construction of the Hall of Heroes began as early as when the Yakob River resumed its flow and the Yongye Army was established, but only one-third of it has been completed so far.
It should be regarded as the largest single building in the Yongye Army, occupying the entire mountain.
The Heroic Soul Hall chose to build it here, so it was naturally very particular.
First of all, this is the center of the Andis Mountains.
Secondly, this place is located at the intersection of a river and a river. It is considered an important transportation road. Whether you come from the Jakob River or the Donau River, you can see it at first sight.
Although the Hall of Heroes is for the dead, it is for the living.
Warn those outsiders, inspire your own people, and subtly build a stronger centripetal force.
The soldiers of the Messenger died in battle, so it was an opportune moment. The leader of the Yongye Army took the opportunity to announce the existence of the Hall of Heroic Souls to all the people in his command, and promote their concept of heroic souls.
In fact, the fallen soldiers of the Messenger were not the first batch of heroic souls to enter the Hall of Heroes.
When the Hall of Heroes was first built, Sean fulfilled his original promise and buried the corpses of the young soldiers who attacked the Bastille that were unearthed in front of Jacob Jiang Fuliu.
Due to the hasty gathering and lack of experience, many people did not even leave their names.
As for the Yongye Army, and even the soldiers who died after the Yongye Group Army was formally established, not to mention, they had already established a relatively complete pension system and martyrs cemetery at that time, they just changed to a new home.
In fact, this hill, which is not too high, can also be regarded as a part of the Hall of Heroes. It is in the shape of a pyramid. The location of their burial depends on their positions and achievements during their lifetime. The first half is basically blank.
The Knight of Evernight whom Sean was carrying the coffin should be regarded as the one with the highest rank and title.
This will also be their destination.
Methods like the Hall of Heroes need to be maintained for a long time and have a slow impact, but once these things are deeply ingrained into the bones, the effect they will exert will be beyond imagination.
The ceremony lasted until sunset, but the military bosses led by the Yongye Army did not disperse, but gathered in the conference room of the Rock.
Andis Tiger Tagore, at best he has a simple temperament, but at worst he is more emotional.
The burial ceremony of the fallen soldiers held during the day really moved him so much that his eyes were red from beginning to end. As for whether he wanted to cry or was angry, only he knew. If anyone didn't
If you ask this question with your eyes wide open, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the meeting was rather dull, he slapped the solid wood table hard and stood up, saying angrily: "You can bear this tone, but I can't bear it. If I don't show them how powerful I am, I really think we are easy to talk to. I won't follow you."
After they played with it, we just sent out troops to destroy them."
"General, please be patient. We are not saying that we should tolerate this, but there are many ways to regain the situation. It doesn't have to be with force, it has to be on the battlefield. We have invested in doing this with the Crocodile tribe, and we are reaping the rewards before we see it.
Well, we can’t ruin the overall plan just because of impulse." Ban Hebrew was the rare one to speak first.
He is a weathered old politician, and because this involves his son Brann, he must make his position clear as soon as possible, otherwise unnecessary misunderstandings will occur, which will cause trouble.
Brann nodded in agreement and said: "The entire crew of the Messenger has worked with me for nearly half a year. When it comes to personal feelings, I think I have a more say than everyone here. I am even more heartbroken for their sacrifices. Many of them are
They died for me, no, to be more precise, they did not die for me, but they died fighting for the big family of Yongye Army Leader. It is their common idea to make Yongye Army Leader stronger.
They never want us to act irrationally on their behalf."
"You have no right to represent them." Tagore said angrily, "None of us have the right to represent those brave and fearless soldiers."
"General Tagore, please control your emotions. We have no right to represent anyone, but our decision will affect the lives and deaths of countless people. To avenge twenty lives, we will pay hundreds of times, or even thousands.
To be continued...
