    " After listening to Bock's words, we all fell silent. This is the best and most widely used of the main chapters. The "Word of God" poem most commonly used by the military chaplains of the Gordon Legion is this section in the war.  Used in front of house, for cleaning battlefields, for hospitals, and for funerals. Now I hear Bock reciting here, and looking at the Gordon soldiers and their relatives in the snowfield by the town, I have another bitter feeling of vicissitudes of life.

    The officers and soldiers who were greeted by their relatives hugged their relatives, and the Gordon civilians who could not see their relatives cried with joy. However, those officers and soldiers who had no relatives to care about, escaped the sorrow and joy in front of them by mourning the enemies who deserved their respect.

    "His Royal Highness the King of Western Qinwhat's wrong? Did we say something wrong?" Seeing that something was wrong with us, Dong Liangjun took two steps forward and asked

    "Huh? Uh no" smiled and shook his head: "Please don't mind, they are mourning those who died, our people and our enemies. We have won the victory and now return to our hometown safely, so the living people  Blessing those who have died in their own way.¡±

    "Oh!" After understanding, Dong Liangjun and the Dingchao officials nodded lightly, and then Dong Liangjun continued: "Sometimes we also sprinkle wine in front of the tombs of brave enemies to show respect."

    "Yes, that's about the same thing." He looked back at Osten and Bock, smiled and nodded to Dong Liangjun.

    If the most heroic scene I have ever seen in the Western Continent is the Gunton soldiers firing a gun salute for the Mutu soldiers at the end of the Battle of Blue Kite Castle, then in the East there is no doubt that the heroic soldiers and tigers will rain down on the enemy's tomb.  To me, fine wine is worth appreciating. At least it touches me more than the inherent laws of nature such as success, failure, and the law of the jungle, because that is something only humans can do, and animals cannot.

    However, when it comes to looking at success or failure, the ideas of the Gordon people are much simpler than those of many civilizations with rich cultural accumulation. Appreciation is appreciation, admiration is admiration, and there is no need to use various ways to give themselves some reasons.  The fact that I don¡¯t have to worry about other people¡¯s opinions is what I envy the most.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    When I arrived at White Rose City, L'Oreal had already sent someone to tell me that because of the visit of Duchess Floriana of the Principality of Mis, they would not come to the stone castle to greet me. However, when I and the envoys from the Ding Dynasty  After walking into the stone castle chatting and laughing, I still saw a familiar person, the first woman who talked to me after coming to Gordon - Livia

    "Master!" After seeing my surprise, Livia walked up to us with a smile and curtsied to us in the hall of the stone castle.

    The envoys of the Ding Dynasty didn't know why, and they immediately responded to Livia with the Ding Dynasty greetings. I think they probably followed Bock and Ostein because they didn't know the identity of Livia's maid. If they knew that Livia was just  My wife's maid probably won't bend down so low when giving a gift. Bock and Osten also know some rumors about Livia. In fact, they also made up some rumors about Livia and me.  Yuan Biandi, I forgot to take care of him a long time ago

    "Well" He nodded to Livia and asked, "Livia, why did you come to Stone Castle?"

    "I came to pick up Sarang and Gavin from Weeping Willow City. Father White Eagle sent a letter saying that the two little guys are very talented, but due to the busy affairs of Gordon Church, he can no longer continue to teach the two little guys. He gave Weeping Willow  Chengdi Theological Seminary wrote a letter of recommendation, hoping that the seminary could accept those two children Father White Eagle said that Salang is very suitable for studying medicine. Gavin likes poetry very much. Father White Eagle said that he will definitely become a famous religious poet in the future.  "Livia's smile is still as bright as when I first met her many years ago. It can be seen from her smile that she loves the two little guys born to Xiaomi and Xiaomai.

    "Poet?" After listening to Livia's words, she looked at the window decorations in the castle hall and repeated it silently. I didn't expect that the child would really inherit the wish of Gavin Valley, the great knight of Gordon. I don't know if this is a fate.  There is nothing wrong with treating someone who will become a priest or a religious poet in the future As a father, I don¡¯t want any of my children to fight on the battlefield again. There is nothing wrong with becoming a doctor or a priest in the present Holy Rana Empire. Let¡¯s forget about it.  He turned to Livia and asked, "Have you visited them?"

    Livia nodded: ¡°I went.¡±

    "Then come with me in two days. I haven't seen them for a long time, but I have to be busy these two days and there are guests from far away."

    Livia: "Uh they look the same as you, sir, are they your relatives?"

    After listening to the translation of the Mulanders, the envoys from the Ding Dynasty laughed loudly.

    "Haha No! They are envoys sent by the Emperor of Seris"

    "Oh, then I won't disturb you anymore, sir"

    ?"Well, you go and do your work." After saying to Livia, he turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I was neglectful because of some family matters" Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly found that all the envoys from the Ding Dynasty were about to leave one by one.  Livia was raised high, as if he was focusing on the glass window grilles in the stone castle hall, while Bock and Osten were looking in the direction where Livia left intentionally or unintentionally.

    Then I looked back

    "" To be honest, Livia is very sexy wearing the dress of a lady of this era, yes, it is sexy. The dress of a lady of this era is not like the dress of the Enlightenment Era.

    The hem of the dress was so exaggerated that from the upper body to the hips, it was almost a tight-fitting evening dress from the previous life. Therefore, it was no wonder that Ostein and Bock would take a peek intentionally or unintentionally, because the dark green lady's dress was right.  It's a bit tight for Livia. The curve of her hips when she walks in a lady's skirt is amazing

    "Your Highness, Your Highness the King of Western Qin"

    "Huh? Hmmwhat?" I also lost my composure. After I came to my senses, I hurriedly replied to Dong Liangjun

    ¡°Didn¡¯t His Highness the King of Western Qin just say that he wanted to take us to see the long corridor full of portraits in this castle?¡±

    "Oh, yes, this way"

    That night, I held a banquet in the stone castle to entertain the envoys from the Ding Dynasty. The guests and hosts had a great time at the banquet. Only when I returned to Gordon like this could I get drunk with confidence. In the end, I didn¡¯t know who Atu was.  It was Minti who helped me back to the bedroom the next day. I slept until noon before I got up groggily to sign the document in which Osten and Bock returned the command of the Gordon Army to the Imperial Government's Ministry of Military Affairs, and also paid tribute to the casualties of the soldiers.  As well as pension documents for their families, etc. After the military system reform of the Holy Rana Empire, the procedures for setting off and returning were very cumbersome. Just these seven or eight documents would take a whole day to read and sign.

    Of course, there was still something to do on the third day. Bai Ying, the priest at the Stone Castle Church, had sent people to open up an open space in the back hill of the church according to the data given to him by the imperial government in advance as a mausoleum for the fallen soldiers. The cemetery was connected to the back hill.  The Stone Castle Invalides built a few years ago is connected to the lawn of the Stone Castle Invalides.

    In the war with the Mutu people, the number of deaths of the Gordon Legion exceeded all the previous Gordon soldiers buried in the Stone Castle Church. For this reason, the imperial government consulted with the Imperial Queen and L'Oreal, as the first heir to the Duke of Stone Castle.  , L'Oreal allocated the hillside and plains near the Stone Castle Church and the Invalides to the Stone Castle Invalides and the Stone Castle Church to be used as cemeteries for fallen soldiers.

    Later, in the Imperial Parliament, the use of this land was clearly stipulated in legal form. These designated lands can no longer be expropriated for other uses. In other words, from now on, Stone City can only go to the southeast.  In other words, the town is expanding to the edge of the city. Imperial law will clearly limit any proposal by the Stone City Council to expand to the northwest, if anyone in the city council dares to propose it.

    Using law as a contract restriction is only a means of protection. The civilians in the Stone Castle area will not allow any city government official or city council member to expropriate the cemetery for other purposes. The Gordon Army, as the name suggests, most of them  Some of the soldiers were recruited from the Stone Castle area of ??the Holy Lana Empire - the birthplace of the Swan Castle Dynasty. It is most appropriate for those fallen soldiers to be buried in their hometown and guarded by their relatives, no matter what happens to this country in the future.  What happened? At least in this place, those sleeping heroic spirits will never be disturbed.

    Although this is not something worth showing off, looking at the whole world, this is indeed the largest funeral. Every fallen soldier has a destination that belongs to them in this place. There are more than 10,000 stone tablets with clearly engraved on them.  With each of their names here, they will not have to worry about someone digging up their tombs, nor will they have to worry about someone digging up the tombstones with long-forgotten names many years later to pave the way.

    These names will not be forgotten, at least the library of the stone castle will not be forgotten, where the records of every Gordon Legion soldier in the imperial government data are kept, and those who were killed or retired are just like the soldiers preserved by the Gurana Empire.  Same as files

    On this day, the musketeers of the Gordon Legion broke dozens of guns, just for this funeral. In addition, more than 30 life-sized marble statues were placed among the soldiers' graves because of time.  It was too short. The carvers only made more than thirty statues. The complete one should be one hundred and twenty-five.

    These statues were completely carved based on the picture album of a chaplain of the Gordon Legion. This chaplain started from the Gordon Army's expedition to White Rose City, to the Battle of Blue Kite Castle Pass, to the recovery of White Rose, and to the picture album of the Battle of Odessa Port.  In total, it depicts the daily scenes of one hundred and twenty-five Gordon soldiers on the expedition of the Gordon Legion since the beginning of the war. This is also the first time that these marble statues are placed in Stone Castle Cemetery that are not with the theme of promoting martial arts.?The picture album of the military chaplain is also used as a blueprint because I hope that people who come to this cemetery can see the familiar figures through these statues in memory of the deceased.

    The funeral started from the Stone Castle Invalides and ended at the back hill of the Stone Castle Church. In the end, only me and my entourage and a few senior generals of the Gordon Legion were left.

    A group of people walked along the stone path between the cemeteries on the hillside of Shibao Church. When we passed a tomb, I took a brief look at the tombstone in that cemetery. On the tombstone was a name that was not in the archives of Shibao library

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Because of my own mistake, I didn¡¯t update for two consecutive days, on the 30th and 1st, and I lost full attendance for two months in September and October.

    The 29 days of persistence last month and the hope this month are all gone

    ¡°Every thought is gone¡­(To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log in.;
