MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 686 : postwar (1)
In the empty sky, Simon impatiently flew towards the Kingdom of the Moon Goddess, but a holy spirit emitting golden light descended from the sky.
The two collided, and Simon was forced to stop. He looked at the person with a gloomy face: "Eswald, what do you mean?"
The Holy Spirit who forced Simon to stop was Eswald who was awakened by the Moonlight Goddess and gave Simon special training.
Eswald looked at him with deep meaning: "I was just about to ask you? Why did you go to Her Majesty's Kingdom of God without being summoned by Her Majesty the Goddess?"
Simon's heart slowly sank, and he said bravely: "Because the Red Scorpion King intervened in the mortal battlefield, one of my friends was killed. I hope Her Majesty the Goddess can revive him."
The battlefield of the Patriotic War this time is inside the Silver Moon Kingdom, and the Silver Moon Kingdom is the territory of the Moonlight Goddess. Those who die here will have their souls taken away by the Moonlight Goddess.
If he remembered correctly, as long as the soul is in hand, it is quite simple for a **** to resurrect a mortal. After all, he himself has been resurrected twice by the Moonlight Goddess.
But Eswald's move to stop him still made Simon feel a little uneasy.
"Reviving mortals has never been an easy task, even the gods have to pay a high price." Eswald replied blankly.
Simon frowned: "I myself have been resurrected twice by Her Majesty the Goddess."
Eswald immediately replied: "That's because the benefit brought by resurrecting you exceeds the price you have to pay. Is that friend of yours worth the price Her Majesty has to pay?"
Seeing that Simon was silent, he continued: "Please, don't make things difficult for Her Majesty the Goddess. It is never an easy task to gain a foothold in this world. Even the gods have to plan carefully."
Simon was silent for a long time before slowly looking at Eswald: "Did you say these words yourself, or did Her Majesty ask you to say them?"
Eswald replied without hesitation: "It is the duty of every courtier to share the worries of Her Majesty the Goddess."
Simon's heart was cold, he closed his eyes and said with difficulty: "Okay, I see."
Immediately, without waiting for Eswald to speak again, Simon took the initiative to gather his sacred wings and fell downward.
He has always been a sensible child. Since the Moonlight Goddess thinks it is not worth it, can he still force the **** who protects the Silver Moon Kingdom to resurrect Siegel?
It's just that I'm really tired, whether it's physically or mentally...
Eswald was silent for a long time, and sighed with a complex expression. He knew it was cruel, but the world is like this, and the gods are not easy to live, and it is impossible to squander their savings unscrupulously.
Back in the Kingdom of God, the Moonlight Goddess was still sitting on the cold throne, and she asked, "Did the Silver Moon King show any dissatisfaction?"
Eswald shook his head: "He can understand your difficulty."
The Moonlight Goddess nodded slightly, and then she turned into a stone statue, sitting on the throne without any movement.
It's not that no agent has begged her to resurrect a mortal in the past few million years, and in fact, she did respond to such a request in the early days.
But to revive a mortal once, at least hundreds of years of accumulated divine power will be spent. If there are too many times, no **** can bear it. After all, there are still many places to spend divine power.
Therefore, it was at the very earliest stage that she would engage in this kind of loss-making business, and in the days to come, she would never respond to such demands, no matter how great the agent's contribution was.
…
Simon, who was physically and mentally exhausted, returned to the station of the new army. At this time, Harris and others had finished cleaning the battlefield and were counting casualties.
"Simon, this time we had a total of more than 57,000 casualties, of which the first army accounted for more than half of the casualties, and more than 30,000 people were killed in battle. In addition, the orcs had about 220,000 casualties, and 80,000 people fled back to the city. After the Buluo Fortress, the 100,000 orcs who arranged to stop the reinforcements from the empire also withdrew back," Harris reported.
"A big victory!" Simon rubbed his temples with his hands, looking a little depressed.
Harris also understood what was going on. Although it was a big victory, their Siegel died, and Siegel, who had known them for 14 years, died in such a sudden battle.
The atmosphere in the tent was a bit heavy, and Harris asked tentatively, "Where is Olenna?"
Simon stopped rubbing his temples, and said in silence for a moment: "I'll tell it myself!"
When Siegel died in battle, he had to give an explanation to his family, especially when Olenna had just given birth to a son. Simon couldn't believe how much this would hit her.
However, they always have to face this fact.
Walking out of the tent, Simon's eyes dimmed suddenly when he saw the soldiers carrying the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle with their faces full of grief.
The battle outside the Great Wall, the defense of Buluo Fortress, the battle of Yelin River, and now the Patriotic War, how many people did they sacrifice?
Hopefully, this will be the last battle of the Silvermoon Kingdom...
Shaking his head, Simon put these unrealistic thoughts behind him. War will always come when it should come, and no one can stop it.
What he has to do now is to deal with the current affairs, for example, recovering the fragments of the sword of kingship.
Seeing the fragments being collected, Simon felt distressed for a while. This was the sword of the first Silver Moon King, the only offensive demi-artifact of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Now, it's gone...
Bram slowly opened his eyes, feeling a burning pain in his throat, he weakly raised his right hand, and the medical soldier immediately handed over the water bag.
After gulping down the clear water, he finally felt that he was still alive.
Mikel walked into the medical tent and came to Bram's side: "How do you feel?"
Bram smiled weakly: "It's good to be alive, by the way, how did I get hurt?"
He only remembered that night, when the flares illuminated the orc camp, he rushed forward with the large army, shot and killed a few orcs, and started a hand-to-hand battle with the orcs.
I can't remember what happened next, and when I woke up, I was lying in the medical tent.
Mikkel shrugged and said in a half-joking tone: "A stray arrow hit your lower abdomen, but luckily it didn't hurt the vital part."
Bram nodded, and belatedly realized that there was a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, which he hadn't felt before...
"By the way, company commander, have we won?" Bram looked at Mikkel expectantly.
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. After all, if he hadn't won the battle, it was impossible for an officer, Mikil, to have time to visit the wounded.
Mikkel nodded, and then the two fell into silence again, which made Bram a little embarrassed: "Well, you just finished the war, you must be very busy, right?"
Although he was promoted to be a platoon leader on the battlefield~www.novelbuddy.com~, the relationship between him and this company commander is actually not very close. Logically speaking, Mikkel came to express his condolences to him That's it, there's no need to stay by his side all the time.
Mikel shook his head dejectedly: "I'm not busy."
This embarrassing conversation made the corner of Bram's mouth twitch, and he said with a forced smile: "You are the commander of the Seventh Company, how could you not be busy?"
Although he didn't read much, it was clearly stated in the military drills that after the battle, the company commander had to command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, count weapons and ammunition, casualties, and write death notices. How could he not be busy?
Mikil sighed, and said with complicated eyes: "There is no Seventh Company...you and I are the whole Seventh Company!"
The first army is the main battle army of the newly formed army, and the seventh company is also the main battle division of the first army. They are the first troops to appear in the river crossing and night raids.
He, Mikkil, survived because he was one of the few master fighters, and Bram survived, purely because he was lucky enough to get injured and fainted.
And the rest of the Seventh Company have neither his fighting strength nor Bram's luck...
Bram didn't react at first, but when he did, his body froze instantly. In the entire Seventh Company, only he and Mikkel survived.
"Take a good rest. I've already handed in your promotion report for you. This time, the First Army suffered heavy casualties, and those who can survive will be promoted in an exceptional way." Mikil forced a smile, which was considered a joy in bitterness.
Bram was not happy with the news, lying on the bed with dim eyes.
Although being promoted to an officer is something he has been thinking about day and night, but those soldiers in the squad who regard him as his eldest brother, those familiar faces, will never be seen again...
