When the boy in red was about to approach the shadow on the bridge, Hu Tao grabbed Famas's arm, pulled him back to her side, and then pointed at the man in the middle of the bridge.
"I told you before that the spirit body cannot stay at the border for a long time, otherwise it will lose a lot of memories."
"But these Munata soldiers have been here for a long time, and not many of them can remember their names. The uncle on the bridge has a fairly clear memory, but..."
Hutao hesitated for a while, first looking at Famas's slightly thin body, and then at the strong, wild, iron-blooded and courageous middle-aged man, and spoke slightly awkwardly.
"It seems I haven't asked you yet, in Munata...do you have a high position?"
Hu Tao recalled that when the spirit man on the bridge had clear memory, he claimed to be the leader of the Munata Expeditionary Force.
And this "Uncle Scar" has been standing alone on the bridge for hundreds of years.
Although I don’t know Munata’s military system, a person with the title of leader will definitely not be an unknown person.
The soldiers said they would wait for the general to take them home. In Hu Tao's impression, Famas was just a fugitive general who had offended the God of Fire.
When the fleeing general meets the serious leader, he doesn't know whether he can persuade these soldiers to leave the border and go to the other side.
After hearing what Hutao said, Famas sighed helplessly: "There should be no one with a higher position than me in Munata."
"Hmph, don't brag. Mr. Zhongli told me that the highest-ranking person in Munata is the God of Fire, who is known as the Fire of War and the undefeated general..."
Hu Tao narrowed her half-moon eyes and looked at the self-proclaimed boy in red with disgust.
No one has a higher status than this guy, how is it possible?
He is indeed a arrogant exiled general.
Famas did not argue, but followed Hu Tao forward and walked to the man's side on the bridge.
There is a rolling sea of clouds under your feet, and it is so foggy that you can't see the way you came from even when you look back. There are only ruins in the depths of the sea of clouds and a lonely figure on the bridge.
"Who are you two? The front is where the expeditionary force is stationed. People waiting around are not allowed to get close."
Seeing Famas and Hu Tao approaching, the man crossed his arms and stood in the middle of the bridge, quite like a one-man-powerful attitude that could not be blocked by anyone.
"Hey, don't you recognize me? We just met last year..."
Hutao held the Humo Staff vigilantly and hid behind Famas.
In order to accommodate the large number of spirits produced by the war between demons and gods, the first few hall masters of the Rebirth Hall wrote to the Seven Stars of Liyue to expand the size of the border. Walking across this suspension bridge is where the Munata people were stranded.
But this also caused the stranded Munata people's spirits to become a climate, and even regarded part of the border as their own territory, and practiced military formations on the border, becoming a factor of instability.
What's even more exaggerated is that the spirit bodies of these soldiers are different from the souls of other deceased people. The latter are just stranded people with obsessions. However, due to earth connections and various other reasons, these soldiers actually retain part of their combat effectiveness and can still fight.
Control powerful machines that survived the war.
Even Hu Tao, who is a professional ghost hunter, is unwilling to provoke the spirits of these soldiers.
Of course, Hall Master Hu will never forget how a few years ago, Zhongli walked into the military formation of the Munata people and talked with the leader of the Munata people under artillery fire.
"I have never met you two, how can I know them?"
"Looking at the way they are dressed, they are not from Munata. This sea of clouds is bottomless, and there may be undiscovered demons under the bridge. For the sake of your safety, we'd better leave as soon as possible.
”
The man frowned and raised his head, waving his hands to repel the two of them, but when he met Famas's eyes, he suddenly became confused.
He seems to have forgotten something very important.
"There are no more demon gods in the sea of clouds. Now the seven gods govern the world, and the wars on the continent of Teyvat are over."
Famas suddenly spoke and looked at the leader who lowered his head and thought.
He knew this man, one of the generals of Munata's expeditionary force, a dragon-human hybrid. Although he looked a bit ferocious, he was actually a very responsible and gentle man.
Famas remembered that when Munata issued the war recruitment order, the man still had a virtuous wife and a lovely newborn daughter at home.
"The war is over?"
Hearing Famas's words, the leader on the bridge was startled and asked unconscious questions. His brows were still furrowed as he spoke.
His memory still lingers on the battlefield, with the overwhelming battle flags flapping in the roar of the strong wind.
The lonely bloody flag was submerged in a red and black square.
"If only one person and one flag remain, then Munata will not be defeated!"
The man showed an expression of sudden realization. Looking at Hu Tao who was hesitant to speak, the doubts in his eyes disappeared and turned into absolute confidence.
He still has battles to command, and as the leader of the expeditionary force, he cannot retreat from the battlefield.
"Uncle, don't listen to him, we want to..."
Hutao hurriedly tugged at the hem of Farmas' clothes from behind.
There is indeed no war on the continent of Teyvat. Hutao also heard the story of the emperor fighting Munata alone, but these Munata soldiers never believed what Hutao said and insisted that their general would not be defeated.
Whenever Hu Tao persuades these soldiers to let go of their obsession with good intentions, they are always coaxed out by these soldiers who have even forgotten their own names.
Now what Famas said doesn’t mean that the pot should be lifted if it is not opened?
The uncle on the bridge stretched out his hand to interrupt Hu Tao's words, and gave an awkward military salute to Hu Tao and Famas.
"Needless to say, when I complete the vision of the general and Munata, I will explain to you how great what we have done."
"Now the army is stationed in Tianheng Mountain, with the Whirlpool Demon God Osel in the west and the Rock King Morax in the east. The battle situation is changing rapidly, and I have wasted too much time."
The man's eyes seemed not to be looking at the world at all, but looking past everything else at something else.
"If you come from the other side of the river, you must know how to get out of here."
"I walked for a long time and couldn't reach the end of the bridge."
"Can you two show me the way?"
He still remembered that in the early days of the Demon God War, the demon gods on the Teyvat continent only focused on fighting for their own ideals, and no one cared about the life and death of mortals.
Refugees like myself were forced to move eastward and enter the territory of the fire god Famas.
But the legendary and ferocious God of Fire did not drive them away. Instead, he taught them farming, mining, and manufacturing machinery. This humble Demon God once worked with the miners in Munata's underground mine.
I drank a bucket of water with my head raised, waved a stick and sang folk songs, and chased wild boars with hunters.
Engage in farming, prepare armaments, quell internal strife, and fight off foreign enemies.
A small tribe that was once peaceful in a corner suddenly became a hegemon in the surrounding area. It was named Munata and was a country of resistance.
Now, he has also grown into the leader of the expeditionary force. Although he can no longer remember his name, how he came to this place, and who the two people in front of him are, he has never forgotten his mission as a soldier.
