In the afternoon, the warm sun has not yet set to the west of the Misty Mountains. The warm sunshine shines on the face, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
On the hillside east of Wilderness Town, there are nearly two hundred tombstones standing in a grassy field.
There are many people busy around the tombstone, repairing a wooden fence.
After Alleyn brought the fallen soldiers home, Wilderness Town, under the arrangement of Jamila, began to prepare various materials and prepare for the burial of these fallen soldiers.
On the third day after Allen's return, Jamila organized a large number of citizens, accompanied by their families, to bury the soldiers one by one at the location designated by Allen.
There are a very small number of people in the territory who are more willing to let their family members enter their family cemetery. Jamila does not force it. It is better to do this voluntarily.
The families of soldiers buried in the Martyrs Cemetery used wooden boards to build tombstones for the soldiers lying in the graves.
Their names, identities, ages, and their life stories were simply engraved on them.
Allen walked around among the nearly two hundred tombstones, feeling complicated. He knew that when Jamila was notified, she had already issued compensation and pension notices to the families of these soldiers.
It's just that Allen feels it's not enough. He plans to issue a batch of medals symbolizing honor to all the soldiers who participated in this battle, and they are out-of-print medals representing the Battle of Gushan.
After all, this was an extremely brutal battle, and it laid the foundation for the development of Wilderness Town for the next ten years.
Allen plans to use gold to cast these medals, and make them into three styles: infantry, archer, cavalry, and auxiliary according to the different types of arms.
Those who died on the battlefield would have an extra ruby embedded in the medal to represent their blood spilled on the battlefield.
If they perform well, a yellow gemstone will be set on the medal, which represents their higher courage and loyalty than others.
Those who performed particularly well would have their medals inlaid with yellow, green, and transparent gemstones to show their outstanding performance on the battlefield.
On the back of the medal, Allen plans to engrave the crown's three-star flag to represent himself, and underneath the flag, he will engrave the name and unit of the medal holder.
Even if these medals are made of pure gold, this amount of money is nothing to Allen now. It is almost like a drop in the bucket, so there is no need to be stingy.
There are also many gem Allens. The biggest problem is that in the end, the dwarf brothers will have to help make such a delicate thing, but I don’t know how long the construction period will take.
Allen had thought about issuing certificates before, but these days the writing was on parchment, ink and quill. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it and just give out more gold. It was very practical and more inspiring.
Allen has already begun to conceive of these things in Gushan, but in order to complete them, he still needs to obtain a specific list of personnel and a summary of their achievements.
Fatis had a specific list. When Allen was preparing for the banquet in the evening, he had a good talk with Fatis and Alleyn about this matter, and asked the two legion commanders to fill up the army's establishment.
Dozens of people who were building a wall here saw Allen standing among the tombstones.
They discussed in a low voice while working that their benevolent and merciful lord was actually able to visit these soldiers who died on the battlefield as soon as they came back.
However, this situation stopped immediately when Allen walked towards them. Their sweaty faces showed a trace of panic, and they quickly shut up and sped up their movements.
Allen didn't come here because he heard their discussion, he just wanted to find their person in charge.
Soon a vicissitudes of life, middle-aged man, came running quickly, his name was Kent.
"Sir, what orders do you have from me?"
Kent nodded and bowed his head and looked at his superior lord, while wondering in his mind, what on earth did this young and noble man want to do with him?
Allen wanted to ask the dwarf Tyr to build a statue, mainly to commemorate these soldiers who died in the Battle of Lonely Mountain.
Allen didn't have many requirements, he just hoped that the background of the statue could show Lonely Mountain, Riverdale City and Raven Ridge.
Then the main body is the fight between humans, dwarves, and elves allied with orcs.
As for inscribing on the statue, Allen has also thought about it.
"One hundred and eighty-five brave soldiers are buried here. They faithfully implemented the orders of the lord and fought to the death in front of enemies several times their own. Their courage inspired their companions. Their sacrifices brought
At the dawn of victory, their great deeds will be recorded forever and be admired by future generations.
The ruler of the Rovanian city-state, Allen.
Inscribed on December 3, 2941 of the Third Era."
Allen knew that his literary talent was not good, so he could only write some simple words to commemorate them.
The dwarf Tire next to Allen quickly described the pattern he designed according to Allen's request, and a string of professional terms came out of the dwarf's mouth.
Alan, who was standing nearby, didn't understand or not, but he still believed that the dwarf's carving skills would probably not make any mistakes.
To find Kent, you need him to assist Tire in finding a suitable stone, transport it to the location designated by Allen, and finally cooperate with Tire in completing the carving work.
Allen told Tire and Kent that as long as the statue is completed, there will be generous rewards.
The two people who received the mission quickly got together and discussed how to do it.
After Allen continued to stay in the cemetery for a while, he called the others and returned to the wilderness village.
By the time Ellen walked into the banquet hall, Bilbo Baggins, with Alice's help, had prepared a large amount of hobbit delicacies.
Jamila, on the other hand, led several men and took out several large barrels of wine from Allen's warehouse.
Everyone was already ready for the banquet and were waiting for Allen to announce the start.
After all, this is just a small banquet for a dozen people, and one afternoon is enough to prepare it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bilbo Baggins, dressed as a chef, quietly told Ellen that he had taught Alice some cooking skills, and Alice learned quickly
, Alan can enjoy hobbit delicacies every day from now on.
When Alan heard this news, he was even more grateful to his hobbit friends.
Bilbo Baggins could see that Allen was not in a good mood when he was in Riverdale City. It was only after Bilbo had a detailed discussion with Gandalf that he learned some of Allen's thoughts.
Gandalf was very bad at comforting others, but the white-bearded old man was better at encouraging others to break through themselves and accomplish great feats.
What's more, Gandalf didn't even realize that Alan needed comfort. This outstanding young man would recover soon and no one else needed to worry about him.
Bilbo Baggins, on the other hand, kept it in mind and wanted to help Alan recover in his own way.
In the Hobbit concept, nothing can soothe the soul more than a delicious meal. If that doesn't work, then have a bag of fine tobacco before the delicious food.
There is no such thing as tobacco in Wilderness Town, and the ones carried by the expedition team have been used up during the journey.
But food is Bilbo Baggins's forte, so the hobbit wanted to use his cooking skills to comfort Alan's somewhat depressed soul.
In fact, Allen had already come out of that depressed state, but this did not prevent him from expressing gratitude to his friends.
Allen hugged his little friend gratefully, and then said with a smile: "Bilbo, thank you for everything you have done for me, and thank you for teaching such precious skills to my subordinates. Let's go and let me try it."
Try your handiwork, after all, when I was at Bag End, I was just watching my dwarf friends having fun."
Bilbo also thought of what happened that night, and walked towards the center of the banquet with Alan with a smile.
At this time, all the invited people had arrived at the banquet hall. After Allen gave a brief speech, he announced the start of the banquet.
While exchanging cups and cups, Allen, Fatis and Alleyne finalized the matter of medals and replenishment of troops.
In a low conversation, Allen also learned from Jamila what happened to Wilderness Town during the war.
While laughing with his friends, Allen drank a lot, a lot.
This banquet started in the evening and lasted until late at night. All the food prepared by Bilbo Baggins for everyone was eaten.
There was not much left in those large barrels of wine. It was not until the end of the banquet that Allen returned to his bedroom in a daze.
