The Bloody Crusade of the Ash Knight

The funeral procession was very grand. In addition to the 20,000 infantry to guard against the orcs' attack, there were only 3,000 light knights left on the city wall.

Bathed in the cool morning rain, followed by the wailing of horns and the footsteps of the funeral procession, the funeral procession was solemn and solemn.

Home, this is where Andier got the name for the Luxembourg Soldiers' Cemetery.

When the team arrived at their hometown, the escort teams stopped one after another.

The coffin-carrying team of the elite knights continued to move forward following Andil's white knights. What greeted the knights was the choir of the Church of Light.

The choir murmured in a low voice, and its ethereal voice made the mourners' minds empty, and seemed to soothe the sadness of the funeral procession's soul.

When we arrived at the cemetery, the priest in white had been waiting for a long time.

The coffins were buried in the soil row by row, the choir's singing gradually rose, and the priests held the doctrine and began to recite the doctrine in unison.

Andil watched all this silently, the rain falling across his face and dripping down his chin.

Inserting the white flag into the soil, Andier made a fist with his right hand, placed it against his heart, and lowered his head silently.

All the soldiers attending the funeral imitated Andil's actions and bowed their heads in silence.

Andile really wanted to sing a "Requiem" or recite a section of the "Purana Sutra". But Andil didn't know these things, so he could only lower his head silently and digest his emotions by himself.

After the funeral, Snow came up and patted Andil's shoulder gently.

"Boss, my condolences."

"Hey……"

Andil sighed, loosened his grip on his right hand, and pinched his sore nose with his right hand.

Turning his head, Andier took the lead and walked out.

In front of the hometown, there is a square that has not been built yet. 6.5 soldiers are lining up in the square.

Andil led the elite knights out of their hometown. The warriors of the elite knights walked to the specially left empty space and lined up solemnly.

Looking at the 70,000 soldiers in front of him, Andil stood in front of the queue and watched silently.

I don’t know if emotions are contagious, but Andile was in a depressed mood, and the soldiers were even more depressed.

The rain soaked through the iron clothes, bent the soldiers' waists, and soaked every inch of their skin. However, the square was silent the entire time, and no soldiers made a sound. Even the falling rain seemed to make no sound.

Feeling that the mood at the scene was further depressed, Snow wanted to step forward to remind him, but Olson grabbed his arm.

Olson glanced at Snow, and then shook his head slightly. Snow sighed softly and stood back up.

The mood dropped to freezing point, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Andile suddenly moved...

Activating the amplifying array at his feet, Andil coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the audience.

A slight cough broke the dullness of the scene, and the whole square finally came alive. The soldiers exhaled one after another, and the rain that had originally silenced them heard the sound of tapping again.

A drop of raindrops fell on the armor, and a small water splash appeared on the armor. Then the water splash mixed into a ball and slid down the armor...

“Today we gather with sadness, today we come to bid farewell to one thousand of our brothers.

They are knights of the Third Battalion of the Elite Knights, our comrades in arms for many years, and our brothers in uniform.

In the battle of Lucerne Gorge, they spared every last drop of blood and used up their last breath of strength.

Their corpses were mutilated, and most of them even had no corpses. But they are noble because they adhere to the way of chivalry!

This is our hometown, their burial place, and ours.

From now on, on June 7th every year, we will hold a public ceremony here to worship the heroes of the Principality of Will and our brothers! "

Having said this, Andile waved his hand.

The monument of heroic spirits carved from black steel rock was carried out by 100 soldiers.

Under the command of Olson, the soldiers erected a monument to the heroic spirit at the main entrance of their hometown.

"The Monument of Heroic Spirits, this is the tombstone of the warriors whose bones are buried here, and it is also the tombstone of you and me.

I hope that the heroic spirits buried here will protect Wales and Luxembourg! "

The public sacrifice ceremony is painful, and the soldiers participating in the public sacrifice are silent.

Following the public sacrifice procedures, all military formations paid homage and presented gifts to the Heroic Spirit Monument in batches.

Finally, in the ethereal singing of the choir, the public sacrifice ceremony came to an end.

In a public sacrifice, the soldiers felt the commander's sadness and the affection between the commander and the soldiers.

Especially the establishment of the monument to heroic spirits.

Born in the pioneering history where human life was like a piece of grass, being able to have a good meal during life and having a place after death are all the aspirations of ordinary soldiers.

The Principality of Will not only allows the soldiers to have enough food and start families, but also has a cemetery after death, and it is also the cemetery where public sacrifices are held every year! There is also a monument to heroic spirits!

A public sacrifice was held before the war, and the soldiers' originally impetuous hearts calmed down again.

There are hundreds of thousands of orcs in the army. Which soldier dares to say that he is not afraid? But a public sacrifice reunited the soldiers' centripetal force.

Luxembourg soldiers and recruits worship Andier very much, and Andier is almost a myth among the recruits.

But in the battle between man and beast, although the new recruits are the main force in defense, they are by no means the main force in killing the enemy!

Most of the veterans of the Principality of Will are private slave soldiers bought from Vincent.

Although this group of soldiers is stronger and has followed Andil for a longer period of time, their loyalty to Andil is by no means comparable to that of the new recruits from the Principality of Will.

Except, of course, the Elite Knights.

There is one less battalion of the five elite knights. Due to the special nature of the elite knights, Andil will not be able to replace them for a while.

After the public sacrifice, Andier once again devoted himself to the medicinal steaming business, and the full power of Luxembourg's defense was given to Snow Fluorine.

Since Snow was named earl, the Wilson family once again increased investment. Although the gold content of the Earl of the Principality of Will is not high.

Because Snowfield already had its own territory, most of the Wilson family's investment this time consisted of people, slaves, and various technical personnel.

Of course, Sinoflu stays in Luxembourg, and these investments are naturally managed by Cogmotif.

Snow was not involved in the management of population and slaves. But technician Snow picked them all out and sent them to Kasuga City.

As the only large-scale building in the Principality of Weil, Kasuga City has become the largest supply city in Luxembourg.

The transportation here is convenient and the economy and trade are developed.

Since the opening of Kasuga Castle, nearby merchants have flocked in like sharks smelling blood.

Use medicines, cloth, and crops to exchange for various minerals, medicinal materials, tools, and people.

And all the exchanges have become supplies to protect Luxembourg.

"What??? You want slaves!!! Andile, I'm warning you, you have already emptied my fortune!"

"No...Mr. Vincent, please don't be impatient!"

"No, you didn't say you would charge a fee when you taught Black Wind!"

"You also know that I am a master pharmacist. A master pharmacist recruits apprentices...Besides, I didn't ask you for money, right? I was just discussing business with you...

right! We are talking about business, it is just a fair transaction, what are you yelling at me for? ? ? "

"Uh……"
