Chapter 72 Martyrs Cemetery
In the afternoon, the warm sun has not yet set to the west of the Misty Mountains, and the warm sun shines on the face, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

On the hillside to the east of Wilderness Town, there are nearly two hundred tombstones standing in a grassy field.

Many people are busy around the tombstone, repairing a wooden fence.

After Elaine brought the sacrificed soldiers home, Wilderness Town, under the arrangement of Jamila, began to prepare various materials and arrange for the burial of these sacrificed soldiers.

On the third day after Allen came back, Jamila organized a large number of citizens, accompanied by their families, and buried these soldiers in the positions appointed by Allen one by one.

There are a very small number of citizens who are more willing to let their family members enter their family cemetery, and Jamila did not force it. It is better to do this kind of thing voluntarily.

Families of soldiers buried in the Martyrs Cemetery used wooden planks to build headstones for the soldiers who lay in the graves.

Their names, identities, ages, and their life stories are simply engraved on it.

Allen wandered around among the nearly two hundred tombstones, feeling complicated. He knew that when Jamila was notified, he had issued a notice of compensation to the families of these soldiers.

It's just that Allen felt that it was not enough. He planned to issue a batch of medals symbolizing honor to all the soldiers who participated in this battle, and they were out-of-print medals representing the Battle of Lonely Mountain.

After all, this was an extremely tragic battle, and it laid the foundation for the development of Wilderness Town for the next ten years.

Allen plans to use gold to cast these medals, and according to the different types of arms, create four styles: infantry, archer, cavalry, and auxiliary soldiers.

For those who died on the battlefield, an additional ruby ​​was inlaid on the medal, representing their blood spilled on the battlefield.

For good performance, a topaz is set on the medal, which represents their higher courage and loyalty than others.

They performed particularly well, so they inlaid yellow, green, and transparent gemstones on the medal to show their outstanding performance on the battlefield.

On the back of the medal, Allen plans to engrave the crown and three-star flag representing himself, and engrave the name and unit of the medal holder under the flag.

Even if these medals are made of pure gold, this amount of money is nothing to Allen now.

Gem Alan also has a lot of gems. The biggest problem is that such an exquisite thing will eventually be made with the help of the dwarf brothers, but I don't know how long the construction period will take.

Allen thought about issuing certificates before, but these days, writing is made of parchment, with ink and quill pens. If you think about it, forget it, just send more gold. It is very practical and more inspiring.

Allen had already begun to conceive these things in Gushan, but in order to complete them, he still needed to obtain a specific list of personnel and a summary of their achievements.

Fatis has a specific list. When Allen was preparing for the evening banquet, he had a good talk with Fatis and Allen about this matter, and by the way, asked the two legion commanders to fill up the troops.

Dozens of people who built the wall here saw Allen staying in the tombstone.

They whispered about their benevolent and merciful lord while working, and they were able to visit these soldiers who died on the battlefield as soon as they came back.

However, this situation stopped immediately when Allen walked towards them. Their sweaty faces showed a trace of panic, and they shut up quickly and accelerated the movements in their hands.

Allen didn't come here because he heard their discussion, he was just going to find their person in charge.

Soon a vicissitudes of the middle-aged man came running quickly, his name was Kent.

"My lord, what do you want from me?"

While nodding and bowing his head, Kent looked at his aloof lord, while wondering in his heart, what could this young and noble lord have to do with him?
Allen wanted to ask the dwarf Tyr to build a statue, mainly to commemorate these warriors who died in the Battle of Lonely Mountain.

Allen didn't have too many requests, he just hoped that the background of this statue could show Lonely Mountain, River Valley City and Raven Ridge.

Then the main body is the fight between humans, dwarves, elves and half-orcs.

Allen also thought about what to write on the statue.

"There are 180 five heroic soldiers buried here. They faithfully carried out the orders of the lord and fought to the death in front of enemies several times their own. Their courage inspired their companions, and their sacrifices brought the dawn of victory. , Their great deeds will also be recorded here forever, and will be admired by future generations.

The ruler of the Rovanian city-state, Allen.

Inscribed on December 2941, 12, Third Age. "

Allen knew that his literary talent was not good, so he could only write some simple words to remember them.

Now Tyre, the dwarf beside Allen, quickly described the pattern he designed according to Allen's request, and a string of technical terms came out of the dwarf's mouth.

Allen, who was standing next to him, didn't understand, but he still believed in the dwarf's carving level, so he probably couldn't go wrong.

To find Kent is to help Tire find a suitable stone, transport it to the location designated by Allen, and finally cooperate with Tire to complete the carving work.

Allen told Till and Kent that as long as the statue is completed, there will be a generous reward.

The two who received the task quickly got together and murmured about what to do.

After Alan continued to stay in the cemetery for a while, he called other people and returned to Wilderness Village.

By the time Allen walked into the banquet hall, Bilbo Baggins, with the help of Alice, had already prepared a large amount of Hobbit food.

On the other hand, Jamila led several men and took out several large barrels of wine from Allen's warehouse.

Everyone was ready for the banquet, and they were waiting for Allen to announce the start.

After all, this is just a small banquet for a dozen people, and one afternoon is enough to complete the preparations.

Bilbo Baggins, who was dressed as a chef, told Ellen quietly that he had taught Alice some cooking skills, and Alice learned it quickly, and Ellen could enjoy Hobbit food every day in the future.

When Allen heard the news, he felt even more grateful to his hobbit friend.

Bilbo Baggins could tell that Alan was not in a good mood when he was in River Valley City. It was not until Bilbo had a detailed discussion with Gandalf that he realized some of Alan's thoughts.

Gandalf is very bad at how to comfort others. The old man with white beard is better at how to encourage others to break through themselves and accomplish some great feats.

What's more, Gandalf didn't realize that Alan needed comfort at all. This excellent young man will recover soon, and he doesn't need others to worry about it.

But Bilbo Baggins kept it in his heart, and he wanted to help Allen recover in his own way.

In the Hobbit's view, nothing can soothe the soul more than a good meal. If not, then before the meal, come with a bag of good shredded tobacco.

There is no such thing as shredded tobacco in Wilderness Town, and what the expedition team carried has been exhausted during the journey.

But food is Bilbo Baggins' strong point, so this hobbit wants to use his cooking skills to comfort Allen's depressed soul.

In fact, Allen has already come out of that depressed state, but this does not prevent him from expressing his gratitude to his friends.

Alan hugged his little friend gratefully, and then said with a smile: "Bilbo, thank you for everything you have done for me, and thank you for imparting such precious skills to my subordinates, let me try Get a taste of your craft, after all I was too busy watching my dwarf friends at Bag End."

Bilbo also thought of what happened that night, smiled and walked to the center of the banquet with Allen.

At this time, all the invited people had already arrived at the banquet hall, and Allen announced the start of the banquet after a short speech.

While pushing the cups, Allen, Fatis, and Allen finalized the matter of the medal and the replenishment of soldiers.

During the whispered conversation, Allen also learned from Jamila what happened to Wilderness Town in the war.

Laughing with friends, Alan drank a lot, a lot.

This banquet started in the evening and lasted until late at night. The food prepared by Bilbo Baggins for everyone was eaten up.

And there were not many large barrels of wine left, and it was not until the end of the banquet that Allen returned to his bedroom in a daze.

 That's right. I said before that I would divide the daily update into two chapters. If you don't like this method, I will post it in one chapter later. Thank you for your support. I still ask for a monthly ticket, thank you book friends.
