Chapter 45 Day of Glory, the Guardian Shield Disappears

After looking at the powerful properties of the Ax of the Dead a few more times, Richard fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

After washing, he chose a black robe from the closet and put it on.

Today, a funeral will be held for the resident who died.

Several tailors in the territory have sewed a lot of clothes for him in the past few days, so he doesn't have to worry about clothes to wear.

As the Lord of Twilight City, the entire territory is his personal property, and all good things are given priority to him.

Richard, who was wearing a pure black robe, walked out of the lord's mansion and saw a mass of black heads in front of him.

Except for those small teams who have not returned from exploring outside, the residents of the entire territory have gathered.

Everyone looked grave and did not speak. The scene was extremely silent.

The coffins made by carpenters working overnight have collected the bodies of all the residents and parked them in the open space behind.

Although it is slightly rough, it is also extremely rare.

The moment Richard stepped out of the mansion, he immediately became the focus of the crowd.

"Lord."

He glanced at the crowd and silently walked forward step by step through the passage left by them.

Wherever he passed, everyone raised their chests and saluted.

After he passed by, the crowd slowly followed him and gathered around.

With a heavy face, Richard walked to the place where the coffin was parked, and his eyes stayed on it for a long time.

The atmosphere becomes more and more subtle.

Suddenly he let out a long sigh, and then slowly bowed to the six coffins under the gaze of the residents.

He stood up, stepped forward, and held the corner of the coffin on the far left.

The surrounding residents were stunned for a moment, and it took them a long time to react. They hurried forward and lifted the coffin with him.

When the crowd saw this scene, they felt as if their throats were blocked, and their hearts surged.

The Lord personally carried the coffin

What an honor? What an honor! !

At this moment, I don’t know how many people are swaying. With such a lord, what else do they have to complain about?

No matter how much you talk, it is better to take action yourself.

Richard leads by example, coupled with his strong personal charisma that comes with his special skill of leadership.

At this moment, his status in the hearts of the residents of Twilight City has reached an unprecedented height.

In a special atmosphere, Richard carried the coffin in front.

Step by step, he and everyone carried these sacrificed heroic residents out of the territory.

The cemetery has already been selected - in the southwest corner of Twilight City, about 5 kilometers away, there is a low hill mixed with gravel.

On the desert, Richard, who personally carried the coffin, was in front, followed by all the residents.

At this moment, the sadness in people's hearts has become different because of the addition of the master of this land.

The crowd followed behind him like a pilgrim, looking at the figure carrying the coffin with extremely hot eyes.

It was as if the coffin in his hand had become a torch in the dark night, lighting the way forward and guiding them to the place of hope.

Holy and sublime.

Gravel low hill.

Richard placed the coffin in the tomb with his own hands.

Then he silently picked up the shovel next to him and began to bury the soil one shovel after another.

Others followed his lead.

Apart from the sobs of family members and friends, the only sound in the air was the sound of shovels digging into the earth.

When the tomb is formed and everything is completed.

Richard put down the shovel and glanced deeply at the crowd surrounding him.

He spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone will face the day when they pass away."

"Some people die worthless and may even be despised."

"There are also people who die great and glorious deaths! Their sacrifices are for others!"

"Just like these 6 heroes you see in front of you."

"They died for the Twilight City, for each of us!"

"They are heroes, heroes worthy of commemoration by all of us. They will not be forgotten by the Twilight City, and they will not be forgotten by me!"

At this point, Richard suddenly stopped and came to six blank tombstones.

"Green."

"Nader."

"Rima."

"."

Starting with the first one, a name is called out at each grave passed.

When the crowd heard those names, it was like a battering ram hitting their hearts.

Eyes red.

This scene became an image they would never forget.

The great lord called a group of inconspicuous civilians heroes in front of their tombstones and wrote down each of their names.

What an honor is this? !

Andele even covered her face with both hands, each name piercing her heart like a sharp knife.

Tears slowly slipped from the fingers and even wet the sleeves.

If it hadn't been for her, nothing might have happened to these people.

After reading everyone's names, Richard looked at everyone again with a firm and powerful tone.

"From today on, every dead hero in Twilight City will be buried in this land."

"This is the place of glory and the destination of heroes."

"And, I have decided to set up today, May 8th, as a day of glory every year to commemorate our fallen heroes."

"On this day every year, the Twilight City will hold a commemorative ceremony to pray for them."

Day of glory? Remembering fallen heroes?

When the residents heard this, they couldn't hold back at all.

Everyone's eyes were red.

The old Karu seemed to have regained his youth at this time. He suddenly raised his right hand and shouted loudly with a hoarse voice.

"The City of Twilight will live forever! Long live Lord Richard!!"

At this moment, this shout became everyone's outlet, and everyone screamed crazily to vent their turbulent emotions.

"The City of Twilight will live forever! Long live Lord Richard!!"

"."

At this moment, they recognized their lord from the bottom of their hearts.

After the hero's funeral in the Land of Glory ended, Richard went straight back to the territory.

Others can soak in the atmosphere, but he needs to be at the helm.

After breakfast, I plan to continue going out to scan pictures.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a conspicuous red prompt on the attribute panel - May 8, 7600, the Glorious Era, the Guardian Shield will be broken in two hours.

Richard was slightly in a trance.

The protective shield is broken?

It’s been 7 days.

It has been 7 days since he traveled to this game world.

There is an inexplicable feeling of being in another world.

It seems that the modern life of seven days ago is already very far away.

This territory that belongs entirely to him has an unbreakable bond with him and has become an inseparable part.

It seemed that this place made him feel more at ease than anything else in modern times.

"Good day, Sir Richard, are you going out now? I have something I want to talk to you about."

Andele quietly entered the hall when Richard was absent-minded.

Hearing this, he woke up with a start.

He calmed down and looked at the girl with a ponytail and leather boots in front of him, smiling a little.

The copper hammer that is taller than a person is carried on the back of this slender girl, which is particularly eye-catching.

Heroic and heroic.

"No need to be polite, Miss Andele, please speak directly if you have anything to say."

Andel looked straight into the eyes of the handsome young man in front of her, her face straightened, and she said solemnly.

"I implore you to allow me to join the Twilight City."

Richard felt relieved and remembered the system prompt that the hero recruitment mission was completed last night.

He looked directly into the other person's eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Miss Andel, have you thought about it? The City of Twilight is located in the desert, and there is a lack of supplies around it. It is very likely that we will not be able to give you what you want."

"In addition, we will face various dangers in the future, such as hostility from other forces, siege by bandits, attacks by sandstorms, etc.

"In order to protect the Twilight City, I need you to forge weapons for the army, and even go into battle to kill the enemy. Are you mentally prepared?"

Andele's eyes were firm.

"When you are willing to take risks for a few civilians who are considered lowly by other lords, even sacrificing your own army to bring their bodies back."

"I'm already prepared."

"Lord Richard, I am willing to serve the City of Twilight and become your subordinate."

As he spoke, he put his right hand on his chest and knelt down on one knee.

He lowered his head that had always been held high.

"Ding~ The heroic unit Andel Thorin is conquered by your personality charm and is willing to surrender to you. Do you accept it?"

Richard nodded and said solemnly.

"Andel Thorin, in the name of the lord of Twilight City, I accept your allegiance. From today on, you are a member of Twilight City."

"From now on, the Twilight City will be with you, and you will no longer be alone. I will always be your strongest support." (End of Chapter)
