Honey, it's time to take your medicine!

Chapter 209 The Daughter of Death (4)

Alcohol is a good thing.

He can make people forget the sadness and fear in their hearts, and make people forget the pain in their bodies.

Although it was only a temporary anesthesia, at least those soldiers were carefree at this time.

The burning pain in the mouth caused by the cheap and spicy alcohol poured into the mouth, and the body quickly became hot, but there were some things that even the alcohol could not cover up.

The deaths of so many comrades-in-arms left indelible scars in the hearts of these people.

They celebrated this victory with smiles on their faces, but their eyes were filled with tears, because no one knew when they would die here like those comrades-in-arms.

Banal seemed to have completely adjusted his mentality, and was completely unaffected by the deaths of so many teammates and what Qin Chu said before. He yelled that Qin Chu, Princess Carol, and Son Oni Ernes, Rossweisse and other big figures from the imperial city gave speeches on the stage.

Qin Chu had never been interested in these matters, and just as he was about to decline, the saint son Onion who was beside him had already stood up first.

Perhaps because he is used to such occasions, O'Neill behaved gracefully without any stage fright.

He cleared his throat and stood among the crowd. Although they were all comrades who had just experienced a war, O'Neill obviously did not regard those soldiers as his companions.

There was still a hint of disdain in his eyes.

I am different from them, even if I appear in the same war, I am more noble than them.

O'Neill cleared his throat, and spoke slowly in the tone unique to the clergy:
"This time, we can win because of the protection of the Goddess of Holy Light and Mother Earth."

"Without the protection of the goddess, we will not have the strength and courage to fight against the monsters, and we will perish under the iron hooves of the monsters. This victory will strengthen our faith and let us walk on the right path."

"People who die are to be regretted, but only because their faith was not firm enough."

"The invasion of monsters is not a disaster, but a test given to people by the gods. Only the most devout believers can survive the test."

"Look, none of our Mother Earth Cult died in the attack of monsters. This is the best proof."

Qin Chu's eyes widened.

This guy...is his brain really alright?
Only so many people died here just now, and the war was won.

Turn your head and say that the victory is brought by the goddess?Co-authoring so many soldiers all died in vain, right?

Sure enough, there was a deathly silence all around, and no one made a sound. Although the soldiers drank, they did not completely lose consciousness.

There is faint anger in their eyes. They sacrificed so many comrades to resist for several months without food and clothing. How about you, come up and take away all the credit?
Yes, none of the Earth Mother Cults died.

Isn't that because except for you and the saint, everyone else is hiding in the corner, and there is no direct confrontation with the monster?
Do you have the nerve to brag about this kind of thing?

Don't you know shame?
The Holy Child Onion opened his arms, as if he wanted to receive the applause of worship around him.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Baner was the first to react and clapped his hands vigorously. Under Baner's guidance, sparse applause finally echoed around.

For such a bland reaction, O'Neill scoffed. It really is a group of guys who don't understand etiquette.

After O'Neill left, it was Carroll.

Carroll is much smarter than O'Neill. She didn't mention the royal family's role in this war, but only informed these soldiers, the son of Duke Marta who fled the battle, and the Marquis who withheld military pay and resold military supplies , a total of 72 nobles, have all been guillotined and paid a heavy price for their greed.

This content made the atmosphere around a bit depressing, and many soldiers began to cry secretly again. If it weren't for these greedy nobles, the brothers would not have died so seriously.

Although it is a good thing to be able to execute these nobles, the dead brothers will never come back after all.

Rossweisse originally wanted to appease the soldiers and promote the glory of the Goddess of Holy Light and the role of a saint herself, but he was keenly aware that the atmosphere was not right, so he rejected it.

Qin Chu was the last one, and also the finale one.

After a short period of hesitation, Qin Chu came to the crowd surrounded by thousands of soldiers with the wine bowl in his hand. Under the reflection of the bonfire, flames danced in his eyes.

silence.

This depressing silence lasted for a long time, and Qin Chu finally spoke slowly:

"Is this worth celebrating?"

His voice was low and depressing, filled with a kind of compassionate solemnity.

"I want to ask you guys, is this really a win?"

Qin Chu's voice echoed in the ears of many soldiers.

Everyone is muttering these two sentences, is this a victory?Is this something to celebrate?
Out of 10 people, there are only less than 9 left. What kind of victory is this?Want to celebrate the death of more than [-] brothers?

Qin Chu's voice was still floating in the wind.

"So many of our companions have died, and they can no longer return to their homes and hug their wives and children."

"Their lives will stay here forever, and their wives and children are left unattended in the city, being bullied and even dying miserably!"

"They shouldn't have died. They didn't die at the hands of monsters, but at the hands of those 76 greedy nobles."

"Even if the 76 nobles have been executed, I still don't think this is something worth celebrating, because the dead can never come back."

Slight sobbing sounds came from all around, and the surviving soldiers knew that what Qin Chu said was right, and it was never something to celebrate.

Those who died today were those comrades in arms, and those who died tomorrow may be other surviving companions, maybe myself... my wife and children, and they will also fall to the same end.

Qin Chu took a deep breath, he didn't say anything else, he just raised his hand and let the wine pour on the ground:

"Respect the dead soldiers!"

Snapped!
The wine bowl in his hand fell to pieces on the ground.

There is a gloomy depression all around, and everyone's heart is very sad, but there is a light shining in their eyes.

Carol frowned. She wanted to refute Qin Chu, but she didn't know where to start.

She knew that what Qin Chu said hit the biggest flaw in the empire at present, but she was unable to change it... The greed of a nobleman may lead to the death of tens of thousands of civilians. This world is not fair.

At this moment, the holy son Onion stood up, his face was ugly: "Your Excellency, what do you mean by saying this? Are you accusing the aristocratic system of the empire?"

"Don't forget your identity. You are just a brave man. You are only summoned here to fight those monsters. You cannot participate in everything in the empire."

As a vested interest, O'Neill, who is also a nobleman or a clergyman, does not allow Qin Chu to pour dirty water on the noble class.

Qin Chu smiled, and summoned the brave man, just as a tool man against monsters. This was the idea of ​​all the high-level people in Sky Continent, but it was the first one to say it directly like O'Neill.

"Even if those nobles did make a little mistake, they have already accepted the punishment. Moreover, this punishment is unprecedentedly severe. Direct execution is enough to pay for the lives of [-] civilians."

Inas next to him kept winking at O'Neill, but this stupid man pretended he didn't see it at all:

"Now, we are enjoying the joy of victory, Your Excellency Brave, you shouldn't spoil the atmosphere at this time."

atmosphere?
I'm afraid O'Neill didn't notice the atmosphere around him at all.

A little mistake?Is that a bit wrong?

The lives of 76 nobles and [-] civilians.

In the eyes of high-class people like Lord Shengzi, they seem to be equal... Ah no, they are not equal. From the tone of Lord Shengzi, it can be clearly felt that the lives of 76 civilians are not as good as [-] The life of a nobleman.

Perhaps, this is the real thinking of the upper class people in Sky Continent?
As a civilian, it is really sad.

People in this world don't care about their lives at all.

On the contrary, a hero summoned from another world would be saddened by the loss of so many lives.

There are rumors that the brave man is an angel, an angel descending.

It must be like this, maybe only a real angel can have such a benevolent heart?
I don't know how long the deathly depression lasted.

Finally, Commander Barnar stood up.

Immediately afterwards, one soldier after another stood up, and even the wounded used the spears in their hands as weapons to support their bodies.

They all held up the wine bowls in their hands:
"Respect the dead soldiers!"

"Respect those brothers who died!"

The voices of 7000 people mixed together, rolling in everyone's ears like ocean waves, deafening.

Like an earthquake, like thunder...

O'Neill's face was a little pale, and the light in those people's eyes terrified him.

Those priests and knights curled up subconsciously, their throats were a little dry, and they kept wriggling, swallowing the non-existent saliva.

They don't understand why it's just a group of civilians who have nothing, just shouting a few slogans, why they make themselves so panic.

They didn't even dare to look at that kind of picture.

Snapped……

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the wine bowl breaking into a straight line.

Every upper-class person who heard this voice trembled involuntarily. Their hands and feet were cold and their scalps were numb.

All the soldiers looked at Qin Chu with admiration in their eyes, they were moved by the kindness and kindness of the brave man.

That kind of gaze made O'Neill extremely jealous and angry. He didn't understand why he was indifferent to his speech proclaiming the glory of God. Could it be that these humble civilians couldn't understand the meaning of it?
Obviously, every time he speaks in the Mother Earth Sect, it can cause countless applause from countless believers!
Seeing this scene, Carol suddenly sighed. She knew that the empire might be about to change!

At this moment, a gust of night wind blew.

The bonfire in front of him, and the flames rising from the burning of a large number of corpses in the distance, all suddenly fell down.

The whole world seemed to turn dark.

An indescribable coldness was approaching, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on Qin Chu's body instantly, and the thick black was covering everything.

Violet, who was originally sitting on the ground, changed her expression, she suddenly stood up, and walked quickly to Qin Chu's side.

There seemed to be a huge phantom in the sky. She had a beautiful and graceful outline, and a trace of black mist floated behind her, just like her beautiful long hair.

I couldn't see her face clearly, but it was faintly visible, and there seemed to be an illusion that it should be a beautiful girl.

Her image is somewhat similar to the phantom of the goddess that once appeared behind Qin Chu, but the color is completely opposite.

Her arms were slightly opened, as if she was enveloping something.

Strands of faint phantoms began to fly from the ground and from the flames.

Qin Chu's pupils contracted slightly, and he saw that it was the soul.

Those are the dead soldiers, the souls trapped in the land, thrown into the arms of the great phantom.

Deep in Qin Chu's mind, came Saya's deep and depressed voice. Qin Chu had never felt that Saya's voice was so dignified:
"Be careful."

"That is one of the most powerful existences among the existing witches, the daughter of death!"
