Chapter 106 Funeral and Dreams
This is bound to be a day to remember.
On this day, under the stunned eyes of all the drow elves, and among the crowds of many Gelthorn slaves and servants.
The red dragon lord who was suffering from mental illness was actually outside the city of Ugelthorne. In the new camp where they were planning to build a new city, a grand funeral was being held for his dead family members.
and personally acted as their priest.
In front of the temporary tower wall that had been completely stopped, the warriors who died in this battle were neatly lined up. One by one, row after row, they were placed on the valuable monster pelts that had been temporarily peeled off.
They have been well restrained by their still living compatriots, wearing armor, lying there peacefully, with their hands on their lower abdomen, holding tightly the weapons they had in life.
Levi also specially flew to the dome of the layer domain, pulled down two large handfuls of fluorescent moss, and sprinkled it evenly on their bodies.
Dots of fluorescent light dancing in the wind fell on the quiet body, looking sacred and solemn in the dimming camp.
At this moment, Hog Mining belongs to, whether it is the jackal war group, gray dwarves, the magicians of the battle magic group who participated in this battle, or the eight thousand people who risked their lives to come to the rescue after receiving temporary recruitment.
The miners lined up neatly in front of the camp, watching the funeral ceremony in front of them with solemn expressions.
"Honag, Baind Wildhammer, Horga, Borot Ironforge Ibak Steelclamp, Hod, Gris Ovgor."
After Li Wei finished reciting the 401st name, and confirmed that all the 'dog tags' were correct on the combat sequence roster, he breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his huge body, looked around at the crowd and said:
"In order to achieve today's strategic goal, and to stand here at our feet at this moment, our Hogg Mining, these four hundred and one warriors, sacrificed their lives.
"Please don't be sad, because they will not be the final sacrifice.
"They fell on the way forward in order to achieve the ultimate goal of all of us - to return to the surface.
“And in the future, there will be more successors who will fall down in order to achieve this goal.
"What we can do is remember them at this moment, pick up their long-cherished wishes that they could not achieve, and move forward.
"If one day, we can really fulfill this great long-cherished wish.
"At that time, they will be reincarnated as devils in Baator Hell.
"Even if they don't remember the past in this life, they will probably laugh inexplicably when they look up.
"You don't have to remember their names.
“Because on our high tower that is expected to lead to the surface, the names of all the dead who have fought for this will be engraved on it one by one.
When Li Wei was speaking his condolences, these miners who came from different places, and even most of them came from all races on the surface, were originally a little sad and confused.
However, when Levi mentioned that the ultimate goal of their Hoge Mining was to return to the surface.
Except for Holztag and the others, who had been mentally prepared, almost everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon a light called hope ignited in their originally confused eyes.
It turns out that they still have a chance to return to the surface and their hometown in this life?
And when Li Wei said that the names of all the victims would be engraved on the tower, their eyes became more solemn than ever, and even a little yearning.
Casting a monument and inscribing a name is an extremely solemn and sacred thing in any world.
It was as if their lives, which had been so confusing all this time, suddenly had such a clear and clear direction for which they could fight for and even be willing to sacrifice for it.
Just when people's thoughts were wandering, Li Wei's eulogy seemed to have come to an end:
"All of us, owned by Hoge Mining, would like to pay our highest respect to our fallen warriors!
salute!
Sound the whistle!”
"Woo~"
Twenty steam engines hidden within the walls of the camp whistled in unison, and a large column of white steam rose into the sky.
At the same time, Levi also flapped the huge dragon wings and hovered in the air, then exhaled the few breaths left in his cavity, and cremated the remains of these warriors together.
After completing the cremation ceremony, he let out a wild roar in the sky, turned around, and flew towards the abandoned tunnel in the west, towards Zeelandia, without looking back.
Boom!
Accompanied by tens of thousands of employees of Hoge Mining, they lined up in a neat square formation and stood at attention, raised their hands and clenched their fists and hit their chests hard.
That dull trembling sound seemed to hit the hearts of all the spectators around.
A drow who was picking off his companion's leather armor in the wilderness looked at this scene blankly and suddenly stopped what he was doing.
For some reason, an extremely contradictory tearing feeling suddenly surged in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it felt like.
"I'm going to apply for a job at Hoge Mining. I also think that even after I die in battle, someone will be able to collect my body and hold a funeral like this for me."
A barbarian giant axe-hand violently tore off the badge representing Gelson Benjir from his chest, crushed it into a ball of iron and threw it into the mire mixed with blood.
"Haha, me too, even if it's just for show, I think it's worth it for a being who is so powerful but still has the nerve to do such boring things."
The human swordsman on the side smiled, but then his smile faded: "But we may need to be faster. It's best to sneak underground later, otherwise we may have to take advantage of our only chance."
As he looked around, he saw that the expressions of most of the slaves and servants were not quite right. Even Drow noticed the clues in this situation.
It is already foreseeable that, probably not until tomorrow, these drow will closely monitor their movements and set up numerous obstacles at the entrance to the western mining area to reduce the loss of the city's population.
As soon as Li Wei flew back to the sky above Gelthorne City, a petite figure emerged from the shadows on the tall tower in front of him.
It is the master of this city, Queen of Shadows Xenaia.
As soon as she showed up, she sarcastically said to Li Wei:
"Kinu Tiberius, your Excellency is really good at talking and putting on a good show. I'm afraid after tonight, if I don't use some means, I'm afraid the population of Gelthorne City will be destroyed."
, I’m afraid I’ll be half bewitched by you! If you weren’t covered in red scales, I would have believed you were a cunning and cunning green dragon! Should you give me an explanation for this?”
"Explain?" Li Wei sneered: "Are you kidding? I held a funeral for my family members, and I still need to give you an explanation!"
Levi's toughness and the even tougher backstage behind him finally reminded Senaia of his overbearing and unreasonable behavior.
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and sighed in a slightly softer tone: "But you are making it very difficult for me! If nothing happens, Gelthorne, who has just experienced a battle, will experience another night of bloodshed.
Already."
Damn! This bitch wants to cause a massacre? It’s really drow style.
Li Wei was too lazy to pay attention to this crazy woman and left directly, but suddenly his heart moved and he said: "Seeing how distressed you are, how about we make a deal?"
"Oh? What deal?"
"I remember that Her Majesty the Queen still owes me one hundred thousand Gelsorn gold coins, right? In this way, how about you set up a card to let them over one by one, and for each slave who arrives safely, how about deducting one gold coin from his account?"
"Haha, what you have in mind is beautiful!" Xenia expressed deep disdain for this. It was a white wolf's trick with nothing but the rest of their drow tricks.
Li Wei rolled his eyes and said, "How about this, I trade you a steam locomotive for one, which is converted into five thousand gold coins, that is, five thousand slaves?"
Signea's eyes lit up. After today's performance of Levi's motorcycle brigade, she realized deeply that this steam engine is a good thing.
But he still didn't let go, "You are robbing me openly! Five thousand gold coins! The steam bomb we made according to the drawing you gave us only costs just over 400 gold coins!"
"That's not on the same level at all, okay? If you have the ability, ask your subordinates to make one and give it a try!" Levi refused to give in.
"Three thousand gold coins!" Xenaia tried to bargain.
"Deal! That's it! Let's start releasing people tonight!"
But he didn't expect that Li Wei would agree immediately, turn around and leave.
Obviously this price is still a huge advantage!
But little did he know that Levi not only took advantage of it, but also took the opportunity to sell obsolete first and second generation products to Gelthorne.
Even so, Xenia was so angry that she almost wanted to vomit blood. Looking at Li Wei's leaving back, her calves were trembling.
She seemed to suddenly remember something, and shouted to Levi's back: "In three days, it will be the departure day of the Nether magic ship's exploration! Don't forget it!"
What was left to her was Levi's dragon tail that was waving upright.
Levi returned to Zelandia's second-floor lair as quickly as possible and immediately induced vomiting.
"vomit!"
He spat out an elemental crystal core with an unknown number of facets.
As soon as this thing hit the ground, the ground and treasures it touched were rapidly petrified.
Li Wei quickly picked up a few pieces of casting materials, drew a protective array of earth elements, and framed it, and then the progress of petrification was curbed.
"Hey! Where's that little red patch on top? Damn it, it must have been digested by me, right?"
Levi looked at the obviously smaller elemental crystal nucleus and said in astonishment.
The next moment, he didn't know whether it was because he had experienced too many things and that fierce war that day, and he was completely overwhelmed by sleepiness like a tide.
When he opened his eyes again, he found
as if oneself
Being in an extremely real dream
What surprised him was
This time, the object he possessed
Turns out to be a human being!
