In the battle outside Huoye City, the lion warriors were all wounded, of which twenty-six lion warriors were killed, and the elf warriors were already in an advantageous situation when they joined the hand-to-hand combat, only two people were killed, and more than thirty people were slightly injured, and the strength of the stigmata inheritors who responded to the call to fight was far inferior to the lion and elves, and the casualties reached more than two hundred.

There was only a little more than an hour before and after this battle, but it was the first time that Fire Leaf City, which had always been at the delicate balance point of the situation on the mainland, experienced a real test of blood and fire.

Tian Xian took the lion and elves to recover the remains of the dead warriors, and the next day, Tian Xian led the officials and residents of the city to bury them in the newly opened cemetery in the city.

Tian Xian was dressed in the dress of the Grand Duke, finished reading the eulogy with a solemn expression, turned to look at the people attending the funeral, and looked at the faces that were worried, sad, or puzzled, and couldn't help but feel excited.

"Residents, and travelers to the city!"

Tian Xian shouted loudly, "Although the Fire Leaf Country is called a country, I always want to make this a free land! Refugees, merchants, mercenaries, and even fugitives, as long as you are really willing to do your part for this land, I will also wash everything that can give you hope, I don't want war here, I don't want anyone to die, I hope we can survive according to our own wishes every day......!"

Tian Xian glanced at the tombstone behind him, and his voice was much lower, "I never want to attack anyone, but I also don't want to be bullied! I am very grateful to the warriors who responded to my call to join the defense battle last night, they shed the most heroic blood for the city when the enemy situation is unknown! I will reward the heroes, and I will not forget the dead, they are the greatest warriors in the city, and now ...... I need more warriors to defend this city!"

People listened quietly to Tian Xian's words, no one made a sound, and Tian Xian also fell silent at this time, as if thinking and hesitating......

Looking at the faces waiting for him to speak, Tian Xian groaned for a while, and finally said, "I invite you...... Forget the so-called miracles! Forget the so-called divine revelations! It is ultimately ourselves who defend this city! What exists in front of us is what should be cherished most! If you want to do your part for this city and for the people around you in this city now, please come to my town hall and sign up!"

After a pause, Tian Xian continued: "Tomorrow, I will issue a conscription proclamation to the whole continent, I hope ...... You can be the first ones!"

After speaking, Tian Xian didn't answer any questions, turned around and walked down the stone platform, jumped into the carriage and left.

Luna and the others, as the main figures of the city, all attended today's funeral, looking at the carriage that was leaving, Luna couldn't help but sigh, "This little ghost still doesn't change his life......

The fourth girl also showed regret on her face, "This is really a good opportunity, as long as we recruit troops in the name of the gods, we will soon form an army with a high degree of loyalty." ”

"Maybe he doesn't want to ...... that"

"That's why he doesn't change......" Luna shook her head.

Everyone talked softly, and the incense on the side suddenly whispered: "In the name of miracles, we have already compromised once, there is an old saying in the highlands, a compromise may be corrected, and repeated compromises will inevitably lead to mistakes." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Scratching her head, Luna exhaled, "Forget it, this kid has already said it anyway, so let's do what he wants, but everyone knows about the strange situation yesterday, and I don't know who else is willing to respond to our call." ”

"Without their help, we can hold this place!" Tu Ge Urn snorted angrily, "Our warriors will never back down!"

No one argued with Tu Ge, because it didn't make any sense, and no one could change the Lion Warrior's upright mind.

Luna looked at the tombstones and sighed softly, "We really won't back down, if we don't leave our mother's arms, children will never learn to survive, we have been comfortable for too long since we came to the human continent, and this battle is not a good thing." ”

With her left hand in her heart, Luna bowed deeply to the fallen warriors, "Rest in peace, we will protect the land for which you have given your lives! ”

The elves saluted at the same time, Tu Ge's fist slammed into his chest, his majestic body drooped, and the lions saluted with the patriarch.

In this not very wide cemetery, people bowed their heads one after another to express their sincerest gratitude to the dead warriors.

"Alright! It's time for us to go back!"

After a few moments, Luna's brisk voice rang out, "There's still a lot of work to do!

"I'm on patrol, soldiers, follow me!"

"Milina, too!"

"I went to give out the pension, which is another big sum of money. ”

"The concubine went to reassure the residents, they were terrified last night. ”

"I'll go and see if there are any materials in the city to strengthen the walls. ”

"Xiaosheng is going to mobilize everyone to apply!"

"Then I'll go back and see if anyone really has to apply. ”

"Well, I should go back to the palace to have a look, I'll borrow it first!

"Yes!"

............

Everyone went their separate ways and left, and there was not much time left to grieve for the dead warriors......

Tianxian returned to the Hangu Tower, and first went to Grandma Kong's to express his gratitude repeatedly, this time if it weren't for the help of the Tianyan clan, I'm afraid that Huoye City would have become a dead city.

"Young people, you don't have to say thanks, it's us who should be thankful. "Grandma Kong is much kinder now than when she was in the Far North, "The survival of our Tianyan clan depends on your efforts. ”

Tianxian shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Everything is your own decision, I just provided some convenience." ”

Grandma Kong smiled, "It's a good thing for young people to know how to be humble, but you don't have to care so much about everything, speaking of which, you are still the son-in-law of our Tianyan clan, we have never had a precedent for two girls to marry the same man, you are our own person, there is no need to thank you at all." ”

Tianxian couldn't help but laugh happily, "If you really want to talk about it, thank you Grandma Kong for helping me hide it, God made it or something, your old family has long understood that it is fake, right......?"

Grandma Sora chuckled softly, "Understood...... It's just me. ”

The day is idle.

Grandma Kong just smiled: "Okay, let's go...... Knowing that you still have something to do, and when you need us, even if you speak, you are always inactive, and the people are already burned out. ”

Tian Xian thought to himself whether the Spirit Eater could be inactive or inactive......

Bidding farewell to the empty grandmother, Tian Xian hurried back to the top floor of the Hangu Tower.

Ryusi was lying here.

Long Si, who was seriously injured, was in a coma for half the night, and only woke up at dawn, there were more than a dozen large and small wounds on her body, seven of which were serious, and the arms and back were the most exaggerated.

"How does it feel?"

Tian Xian sat down beside Long Si, gently pulled her wrist and touched the pulse, nodded with satisfaction and said, "The injury has stabilized, but I'm afraid it will take a while to heal." ”

Passing the basin from the side, Tian Xian rolled up his sleeves, "First heal a few small injuries on your arm, it may hurt a little, but just bear with it, lest you have pain all over your body these days, speaking of which, you really don't want to die, and dare to rush out when you are injured like this, Lena said to me that she was scared stupid when she untied her armor and saw your injuries, and it was also a shame that you could still survive after so much blood, if it were an ordinary person...... Hand to me, huh?"

Tian Xian said to himself, but found that Long Si didn't say a word, and his face was pinned to the other side, and his arms were also leaning on his body, not cooperating with the treatment at all.

"Why, are you still shy?" Tian Xian sighed, "When you were unconscious, I still treated your back wound, ......of course!

Tianxian looked at Long Si again, but she hadn't reacted yet.

"Hey...... What's wrong?Isn't it hurting badly?" Tian Xian frowned, put his fingers on her wrist, and found that the pulse was stable, although Long Si's body was very weak, it could be regarded as good, and there should be no problem.

Rolling his eyes, Tian Xian simply took the basin of water and turned to the other side of Long Si, "Then deal with the wound of this hand first." ”

Tian Xian turned around, and before he could see Long Si's face, Long Si suddenly twisted his head to the other side.

"My aunt, what's wrong with you......" Tianxian put down the basin and sat down helplessly, "If it's my fault, I'll apologize to you, okay?"

Suddenly, Tian Xian heard Long Si seem to sniff.

Seems to be crying.

Tianxian was at a loss for a while, "What's wrong, isn't it...... Ah, yes, yes, it's my bad, I shouldn't have touched your body when you didn't know it, it's my fault, but I didn't have a lot of hair, I didn't look at it much, I just dealt with the injury on my back, and the wound was bandaged by Guli for you, uh......"

Long Si's shoulders trembled slightly, Tian Xian couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed, a strong girl like Long Si would actually cry, and it would definitely not be a good thing to give up......

"I'm sorry, but the heart of the healer, please believe me, am I, uh...... yes, it's nothing to believe, but ......"

"No......" Ryusi sobbed softly, "It's not your fault......"

Tian Xian was stunned, it's not my fault?So why are you crying? Is it because the wound hurts? It doesn't seem right, it's still my fault!?

Long Si slowly grabbed the quilt hard, gritted his teeth and said: "I, Long Si, am not so ignorant, even if I really see and touch my body, I won't blame you, even if you take me out of the imperial capital, this is the second time you have saved my life, your kindness...... I will never forget!"

Tianxian breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but be full of doubts, "That...... Then you still have a painful wound? Can you show me if you can, maybe there is something wrong with Guli's bandaging. ”

"No...... The wound doesn't hurt much anymore. ”

Tian Xian touched his nose, "Then why are you crying......"

Long Si suddenly raised his fist and slammed it the floor, "Really...... Shame on you!"

Tian Xian hurriedly caught Long Si's fist in fright, and the wound on his arm was probably about to burst after this punch.

He let out a long breath and shook his head again and again, "How can there be any shame? You are smart, beautiful, kind, and ......."

Long Si didn't listen to the compliments of Tianxian, and said in a trembling voice, "I should have defended Fire Leaf City...... As a result, nothing was done......! I went up to fight by myself, but I actually fainted in the end!"

Long Si choked up, "Everyone is desperate, I...... But I was carried back, and I ......"

Tianxian then understood, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this woman......

"All right, my valiant princess, don't cry, you don't need to shed tears for such things, come, look at me......"

Tian Xian gently turned Long Si's face around, she was already in tears, biting her lip and desperately holding back the cry.

As soon as he saw that the sky was idle, all the tears that Long Si had endured poured out, and he cried loudly, "I...... Nothing! You...... You entrusted Fire Leaf City to me, and I ...... But I ...... It's that I'm useless...... I, I'm useless!"

Ryusi's heartbreak was incomparably broken......

Tian Xian looked at Long Si's pretty face that was crying, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This strong woman, sometimes she is really stubborn like a child, she almost died on the battlefield, and she actually ......

Gently wiping the tears that Long Si kept flowing, he didn't know how to comfort such a Long Si for a while, "Don't cry, be good, don't cry, okay......"

It's okay not to say it, as soon as Tian Xian said this, Long Si ignored the pain, grabbed Tian Xian's hand, and cried even more sadly.

Long Si is really extremely sad, he has always thought that he has outstanding wisdom and martial arts, and Long Si, who is not inferior in martial arts, has a sense of powerlessness for the first time in this battle, a sense of powerlessness that cannot turn the tide in the face of a powerful enemy......

When he opened his eyes again, the battle was over, and he was lying in the Hangu Tower, and his injuries were also treated, like a weak and powerless remnant.

Frustration ruthlessly tormented Long Si's arrogant heart.

Patience, patience...... Endure to the death, endure this self-blame and humiliation, but the short time from dawn to dawn seems to be as long as hundreds of years, no one is there, no one comes to visit, and the cold ancient tower is quiet like an abandoned tomb.

Ryusi tried his best to endure and not let himself cry, but the moment Tian Xian appeared, he couldn't bear it anymore......

Long Si cried desperately, crying hoarsely, as if he wanted to cry out all his unwillingness and all his grievances......

Tian Xian sighed secretly, silently wiped Long Si's tears, and listened to her cry silently.

After a long time, Tian Xian finally said softly: "Twenty-six lions and two elves, they died in battle. ”

Long Si cried, his body shook violently when he heard this, and his crying stopped, and his eyes slowly widened.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of Long Si's eyes, and gently combing his wet sideburns, Tian Xian continued: "There are more than two hundred inheritors of the stigmata in the city, who have just held a simple funeral for them, and they are buried in the city, and the lion people have opened a small cemetery. ”

Ryusi's pupils narrowed suddenly, and his eyes were full of despair, "Yes...... It's because of me, so they ......"

"Do you think they're useless?" asked Tianxian softly.

Long Si's pupils trembled, "No...... Of course not!"

"Do you think it's useless to be the warriors who survived the same battlefield with them, spilled their blood on a piece of land, and defended the city with their lives?"

Long Si's thin lips opened and closed a few times, and he said bitterly, "No...... Of course not, but I ......."

"You are the same......" Tianxian looked at her gently, "you fought side by side with the most valiant soldiers, shed blood and sacrificed together, and protected the city with all your might, don't say anything that is useless, it is a demeaning to yourself, and an insult to the warriors and warriors." ”

Long Si bit his lip again, speechless for a while, looking at Tianxian's eyes, tears gradually appeared in his eyes again.

Tian Xian smiled lightly, "I've heard that the stigmata inheritors who were recruited yesterday were a little hesitant, it was you who took the lead in charging them to keep up, when the enemy attacked the ground on a large scale, it was you who let Tu Ge retreat in time to avoid a large number of casualties among the lion warriors, and in the end, it was you who made the right decision to let the elves join the battle to defeat the enemy's line, and you were able to see this morning in Fire Leaf City, you have contributed a lot." ”

Ryusi shook his head vigorously, tears falling from his eyes.

Tian Xian's eyes watched, gently held up Long Si's wrist, revealing the long scar on his arm, and said: "You must not know that except for the lion warrior who has been charging, among the people who participated in the battle last night, you had the most injuries on your body, and every scar is a warrior's medal, you are not only an excellent commander, but also the most heroic warrior! It was you who defended this city and fulfilled my request." ”

"So don't say anything about your own uselessness, you will always be the best one, the one I need the most, the Interior Secretary, the commander, and the most valiant soldier, this battle, thank you so much......"

Long Si's tears poured out again, and the feeling of heartbreak made her cry loudly again, Long Si herself didn't know if she was wronged or moved, or something else, she just wanted to cry, wanted to cry hysterically.

"Good ......" Tian Xian gently patted Long Si's shoulder, "Cry, get better quickly after crying, we all look forward to your recovery." ”

Long Si cried and nodded desperately.

The emotional Long Si cried for a while, and her body was extremely weak, and she gradually became tired of crying, so she actually fell asleep with Tianxian's hand in her arms.

When she fell asleep, Tian Xian withdrew his hand soaked in Long Si's tears.

Women, no matter how strong they are, they are made of water, and they are so fierce when they cry.

Touched Long Si's pulse, the pulse was stable, it seemed that as long as he woke up and recovered some of his spirit, he would be much better, Tian Xian put his mind at ease, and was trying to deal with the small wound on Long Si's arm, she was a young and beautiful girl, it would be a pity if she had an ugly scar on her body.

Before he could do anything, the door was knocked open, and Gu Li rushed in in with a panicked expression.

"No...... Oh no!"

Tian Xian was surprised, "What's wrong?"

Guli swallowed her saliva, "You...... See for yourself. ”

Tianxian hurriedly left with Gu Li, and when he came to the outside of the Hangu Pagoda, he suddenly stared at Gu Li with round eyes, "This...... What's going on?"

Just now, Gu Li set up a small square table outside the gate of the Hangu Tower, took two stacks of rosters, and prepared to register the soldiers who came to apply.

Now the small square table has been squeezed over, and I don't know where it has been broken.

Hangu Pagoda is crowded with people, and half of the city's people have come to apply! )
