Chapter 113 Bottleneck Period

"What will happen to these ashes?" Cang Ling asked.

"It will be packaged and transported to the north for deep burial."

"Can't it be thrown into the open sea?"

"I'm afraid of being eaten by sea fish. Although it has been purified, it is still corrosive."

"That's it." Cang Ling nodded, turned and left.

Two days later, the Duke of Downton held a commendation meeting at the city hall.

Queen Ecarina of the Star Sea Federation, Hoffman, head of the Blue Shield Knights, and Sergeant Dian Yi all participated.

Their appearance gave the knights who were immersed in grief a lot of psychological encouragement.

When many people saw the Queen coming, their fighting spirit was rekindled.

Even so, when the meeting talked about the sacrifice of knights, many people still sobbed.

Especially the families of the sacrificial knights almost collapsed emotionally. An old lady fainted on the spot after hearing her son's body was "broken alive".

All these sacrificial knights were awarded first-class merit, while the other knights were awarded second-class merit.

In addition, the families of the sacrificial knights also received pensions from the head of the regiment.

"Even if you give me ten times the money, what's the use? I just want my daughter back!" A father cried, grabbing Hoffman's arm.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry that you lost your daughter. Ellie is an excellent knight, and losing her is a great loss to us. But it is because of her brave sacrifice that the people are saved from..."

"Don't say these things are useless! You are all a bunch of trash. With so many people, you can't even beat a night devil! We pay so much tax every year and fill it into the dog's belly! You should just disband and keep you What are you doing to help the trash!" The other party grabbed Hoffman and kicked and hit him, and the knight next to him rushed over to pull him.

Hoffman stopped the entourage and let Ellie's father beat him. After he finished venting, he said: "If apologizing can relieve your pain, I am willing to apologize to you ten thousand times. But apologizing cannot bring the dead back to life. I offer you We swear that we will inherit their will and continue to fight against night demons. Only in this way can their deaths be meaningful; only fighting is the best memory of the dead!"

Hearing what Hoffman said, the other party froze for a moment, then sat down on the ground and began to cry bitterly.

Hoffman instructed the two knights to help him up and arranged for him to rest in the lounge.

The Duke of Downton held a memorial service the next day and held a mass funeral for all the victims.

Halfway through the funeral, it started to rain.

What started as a drizzle turned into a torrential downpour.

The Duke of Downton did not suspend the ceremony. He stood in the rainstorm and calmly directed the people of the church to continue the funeral.

The queen, Dian Yi, and several captains also stood still in the rain, none of them holding an umbrella.

The cold rain poured on the face, mixed with the tears, and for a moment, it felt like the whole world was crying.

"I thought the Blue Shield Knights were the safest, but now it seems that it is no longer possible." A knight said in a low voice, "If I knew it, I might as well stay in my hometown and farm. Although the income is low, at least I won't die."

"If the night devil invades, can you still farm well? You coward!" Phoebe scolded from behind.

"Why are you so hot-blooded? Don't think that you can be a hero here because you are not dead!" The other party scolded back.

As soon as Phoebe heard that she was going to fight him, Cang Ling grabbed her and reminded her not to cause trouble at the funeral.

"It's because of people like you that Blue Shield Knights are looked down upon!" Phoebe said angrily.

"Hmph, recruits are always so passionate..." an old knight whispered beside him.

Hearing this, Cang Ling suddenly felt deeply sad.

Their comrade-in-arms died, and they were not angry or unwilling, but were still here sighing.

What are these people knights for?
What is the purpose of joining the Blue Shield Knights?
If an all-out war breaks out one day, can you go to the battlefield with these people?
After the funeral, the queen met with the families of the victims alone, and returned to the capital after comforting them.

Commander Hoffman and Sergeant Major Dianyi went to the detachment to visit the wounded and then went back. There are still a lot of things waiting for them to deal with on the western border.

The Duke of Downton is busy with petitions from the tourism industry, who demand compensation from the state because of the sharp drop in income.

"Why do we only compensate the fishermen and not us? How much tax do we pay to the province every year? Now if something goes wrong, we will be used as victims?" Tourism practitioners protested angrily outside the municipal building holding placards and banners.

The squadron leader and the three sub-team leaders went to the brigade to report the situation of the battle, and at the same time cooperated with the brigade to conduct investigations.

In the following month, the team continued to hold meetings, summarizing, analyzing, and discussing...

Cang Ling put forward his own opinion at the meeting: that is, the mental state of both the migratory tide and the corruptor seems to be unstable, and he doubts whether some kind of change has occurred on the other side.

Most people scoffed at her statement, thinking that Cang Ling thought too much.

Leon listened to Cang Ling's inference very seriously, and encouraged her to write a report and submit it.

Cang Ling shook his head and said that it is better to forget it. The last time he wrote the report, he was frustrated. This time, he should not make fun of himself.

Lyon didn't force it when he saw this, but he helped Cang Ling write this in the team's summary report.

A month later, all the tedious procedures were finally completed, and Leon's injury was healed.

Everyone's life has returned to calm again.

But when you enter the cafeteria every day, those empty seats still hurt everyone's heart.

In September, the summer heat finally subsided, and everyone changed back to spring and autumn clothes.

Under the influence of Dian Yi, Phoebe began to crazily practice concrete spiritual power stunts.

"The branch leader said that the frontalization of spiritual power is actually physicalization. After thousands of years of intermarriage, each remote system has some blood from other systems in it, so it also has the ability to physicalize. It's just that it can't be achieved by remote systems. It’s that big.” Phoebe said to Cang Ling and Kali while practicing, “I’m going to start with needles, slowly practice physical skills, and then develop my own unique skills!”

"Not everyone can practice this kind of skill, right?" Jia Li said, "It seems that there are not a few people in the whole country who have this kind of ability."

"That's because they didn't work hard!" Phoebe replied. "Instructor Felton, the squad leader, and the sergeant major, they all managed to do it, which shows that this is by no means impossible."

"I support you, Phoebe. Your spiritual power is so high, if you can physicalize it, it must be quite powerful." Cang Ling encouraged.

"That's right, I want to follow the sergeant major and develop as powerful stunts as hers! Target: the strongest long-range system in the country, hahahaha!" After finishing speaking, Phoebe crazily fired aura bombs.

"I have to work harder. Now I seem to have entered a bottleneck period, and it is difficult to break through." Jia Li said a little disappointed.

"What does the bottleneck period mean?" Cang Ling hurriedly asked.

　Cang Ling: Thank you for the support of Storm Ice Cream, I have received your encouragement, and I will continue to work hard!
