Chapter 498: Memorial

Views:

On November 15th, the city of Eskil was covered with snow. This was already the third day that order was restored in Eskil City. The bloody scenes of two days ago were no longer visible on the streets of the city. , but the whole city still looks a little cold and depressed, especially on the six main roads in Esquier City. Perhaps because the weather is too cold, there are still very few pedestrians here.

The snow on the main roads has been shoveled away by the sanitation workers who have returned to work in the city, but the original blue-gray granite floor tiles laid on the ground of the six main roads. At this time, after the snow is shoveled away, the six main roads The color of the floor tiles has turned dark brown, as if it has been replaced again. Looking at the changed color of the floor tiles, whether it is the sanitation workers cleaning the city or the people walking on the six main roads again, There was a chill in my heart and awe for the city's newest ruler, Peter Humpreis.

The color of the floor tiles on these six roads is dyed red by the blood of the demonized puppets. The young men of Eskil City who participated in cleaning up these six roads in the past two days used a word when describing these six roads. Words—The Avenue of Flesh and Blood.

That was a scene that was enough to scare people awake from nightmares. In other words, all the nightmares that people could imagine seemed to have warmth in front of these six avenues of flesh and blood.

"The six main streets in Eskil City are six huge sausages, filled with the corpses and flesh of demonized puppets that have been smashed into pieces. Broken corpses and fallen heads can be seen everywhere here, and they are piled up. Chengshan, in the middle of the six avenues, stuck to the ground is a thick layer of mud that can no longer be distinguished from bones or flesh. It is the most disgusting and most disgusting mud formed after being repeatedly trampled by saber-toothed beasts. Horrifying scene…”

"Those responsible for cleaning the six avenues of flesh and blood must use shovels, just like shoveling the piled cow dung in the cowshed, to shovel the pulpy things from the ground. Even the most determined volunteers who have been recruited will Even if they insist on doing this work for less than ten minutes, they will be vomiting to the point of vomiting, but no matter what, they must continue to do it... "

Of those who survived. There was a writer who worked for a tabloid in Eskil City and was writing hard at home in the cold. Record the details of the disaster in Eskil City that he saw and witnessed so that future generations would not forget it.

These details may be forgotten by future generations, but for the residents of Eskil City in front of them, it is impossible to forget them, because the six widest avenues in Eskil City have completely changed their color. , is the ruler of Eskil City at this time.

On the day when Eskil City was recaptured on the 12th, legend has it that a man named Peter single-handedly killed tens of thousands of demonized puppets around the ruins of Iron Bear Castle. Another theory is that Peter killed more than 20,000 demonized puppets with his bare hands that day. Moreover, these demonized puppets are all the original city guards of Eskil City, and they are also the most difficult characters to deal with among the demonized puppets.

These legends are frightening and awe-inspiring at the same time, and for the vast majority of the residents of Eskil City, who are like frightened birds at this time, this city has such a ruler, at least. It will make people feel a sense of security in this crisis-ridden time.

The sense of security freed people from fear and worry, but the reality of Eskil City pushed people back into the river of sadness.

This crisis lasted four days in total from the beginning to the end. During these four days, the number of dead and missing people in Eskil City reached 1.37 million, and a quarter of the people living in this city One person has disappeared from this world, and almost everyone living in this city has had relatives, friends, or familiar people die in this disaster. This is a big blow to everyone.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the bells in the whole city rang - bang... bang... bang... at the same time, and the sound of Qingyue's bells spread throughout the city.

Hearing the sound of the bell, the residents who were still in the city, as well as the residents in the small towns outside the city, no matter what they were doing, put down what they were doing and began to mourn the victims in silence. The breath spread throughout the city all at once.

And at the foot of a hillside a few kilometers outside Eskil City. Hundreds of thousands of people in Eskil City stood in line in the snow, watching the monument commemorating the disaster in Eskil City being erected under the huge cemetery where more than a million people were buried.

The most prominent figures in the entire Eskil City and several elders of the Ice Bear Tribe attended the memorial ceremony.

In the midst of the heavy snow, Elder Rudolf of the Spencer family stood on the high platform in front of the monument with tears streaming down his face, complaining at the top of his voice that the demons and their lackeys had created this plot against the Spencer family. Atrocities and disasters against the city of Eskil, against the entire ice and snow wasteland and humanity.

Elder Rudolph's thin body was swaying in the wind and snow. Several times, because he was so excited, he felt like fainting. It seems extremely miserable and pitiable.

The Spencer family also suffered heavy losses in this disaster, and the family elite was almost wiped out. When Elder Rudolph skillfully spoke out the losses suffered by the Spencer family in a heart-wrenching tone, it immediately aroused the resonance of countless people below.

Zhang Tie was also among the crowd attending the memorial ceremony. He was wrapped in a thick black bearskin coat and his face was slightly sickly pale.

On the 12th, after comprehending the power of the Iron-Blooded Divine Fist and killing countless demonized puppets, Zhang Tie himself was seriously injured. That night, while soaking his armor in blood, Zhang Tie When the damaged armor in the water was peeled off his body piece by piece, everyone fell silent looking at the wounds on Zhang Tie's body. Several women from the Spencer family who cleaned Zhang Tie's body began to cry.

There are a total of 137 large and small wounds on Zhang Tie's body. If some wounds were placed on an ordinary person, the person might have died long ago, but Zhang Tie still persisted with his tenacious will, even in During the battle, the existence of these wounds was forgotten.

"Why is this?" The person who asked Zhang Tie this was Elder Turing of the Spencer family.

"I just feel that I am no different from the charging warriors. When they are fighting, I cannot stand by and watch. If I can kill one more enemy, one of those warriors may survive!" This was Zhang Tie's answer.

After hearing Zhang Tie's answer, Elder Turing was speechless for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.

These two simple dialogues also spread among the entire Ice Bear Tribe army and the remaining city guards of Esquier City in the shortest possible time.

At this moment, Zhang Tie's ears were listening to Elder Rudolph's accusations filled with blood and tears, but his mind was still stuck on the images he saw in the basement of Pierce's house - the man lying on the tens of thousands of years of ice transported from the frozen continent. The pale boy, and the line of blood written by Pierce on the wall.

Pierce had known that someone would find his basement afterwards, so he clearly explained the cause and effect of everything on the wall.

This is the crazy revenge of a man who has lost hope in his life against the entire Spencer family. For this revenge, even the Three Eyes Society has become a tool in the hands of this man!

Pierce knew that he would die, so he didn't care whether there would be floods after his death. He only wanted the Spencer family to pay a sufficient price.

Although such things are rare among wealthy families, they are not new.

This is a huge scandal for the entire Spencer family. Once exposed, the Spencer family's prestige will be ruined, and they will inevitably have to withstand the anger of the entire Eskil City residents. Therefore, they were finally able to approach the basement. There were only five people in total who could fully see the contents of the bloody book on the wall—the only two remaining elders of the Spencer family, Zhang Tie, plus the two elders Thors and Gulas.

After these people read it, the bloody book on the wall was erased. The disaster in Eskil City, in all calibers, became dominated by the demons and the Three-Eyed Society from beginning to end. In response to the conspiracy between Eskil City and mankind, a small figure named Pierce from the Spencer family was controlled by the Three-Eyed Society and involuntarily became a victim like a puppet - that's right, because this was originally The third eye will understand the original intention of those miscellaneous things.

Everything was buried in this huge cemetery in front of them, including the young man named Haifa who was lying on the ice.

Looking at Elder Rudolf who was standing on the high platform chattering incessantly and the people in Esquier City who were all in tears by Elder Rudolf's eloquent words, Zhang Tie's face slowly turned pale. It becomes ugly.

Elder Rudolph was acting and lying at the moment, but he was silent beside him with peace of mind. Zhang Tie didn't know whether this silence was mature or sophisticated, whether it was out of consideration for the overall situation or selfishness, or whether it was protecting the Spencer family. Zhang Tie is still safeguarding his own interests. Just thinking about the possibility of becoming an ordinary audience in the audience, Zhang Tie suddenly feels hatred for the role he is playing in colluding with the liar on the high platform. Getting up, slowly, his face became increasingly ugly.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Aurora, who was standing next to Zhang Tie, squeezed Zhang Tie's hand gently and asked in a worried voice.
