The commemorative clock of the 178 Fortress also carries the role of time reporting. In this era when watches were not yet popular, the sound of the bell represents people's concept of time.

Just as Ren Xiaosu and Zhang Jinglin were talking, a combat team from the garrison troops came to the square. They first saluted Ren Xiaosu and Zhang Jinglin, and then walked to the bronze bell and rang the bronze bell for seventeen times.

It's 17:00 pm, and people use this to check their time.

The bright and melodious bell shook outwards, and Ren Xiaosu stood in the bell, feeling the evening sunset shining on himself.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu discovered that the eleven gray stone tablets were also very particular, facing east and west on the back. Whether it was sunrise or sunset, the sunlight would always scatter on it.

In the afterglow of the sunset, the gray smooth stone tablet seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, which was extremely gorgeous.

But when the bell fell, Ren Xiaosu suddenly heard someone say, "That kid is the next commander of our fortress? It looks a little tender, isn't it reliable?"

"I think it's OK," a man replied in a voice: "A while ago, a couple were chatting in the square. I also heard them talk about this kid, and they are said to be very good at fighting."

"Can you fight? I can fight too!"

"You're just a fool. He's an extraordinary person. How could we have such an extraordinary person at that time?"

"We also had it at that time. The knights were quite fierce at that time. Have you forgotten? It seemed that there were more than 30 knights at that time. It is said that there are only twelve knights left now?"

"Then can you compete with a Knight? We are all ordinary people, and even if we live, we can't beat this kid."

"So what if you can fight as a commander? The commander depends on wisdom!"

"Hey, I said, why do you, the junior, always like to argue with me? I am over forty years older than you. Be kind and be polite, don't argue with your elders!"

"Take it down, it's all people buried in the ground. Why do you say that elders are not elders? Let's compare military merits. I've killed a wizard in one shot. Have you killed a wizard?"

Ren Xiaosu listened silently for a while, then looked around in surprise, trying to see who was talking.

As a result, after watching for a long time, he found that the residents of the 178 Fortress behind him were all silent. Now it was time to pay tribute to the martyrs, and everyone was in a state of silence.

Zhang Jinglin curiously said, "What are you looking at? Let's go and go to the bronze bell to see. You should have heard that the bodies of the pioneers who died on the battlefield of the Northwest Army will be buried outside the 178 Fortress, but we will bring back one of their teeth and buried them under the bronze bell together to commemorate them. Of course, it also means that they will continue to protect this land with their blood and heroic souls."

When Ren Xiaosu heard the word "Hero Soul", his expression became strange.

At this moment, the faint voice said, "Okay, stop talking. That guy Zhang Jinglin has brought another guy over and chatted after they bowed and left."

"What are you afraid of? They can't hear us talking."

The sound is very noisy and there are many people talking. Ren Xiaosu even has to work very hard to tell what they are talking about.

The closer Ren Xiaosu got to the bronze bell, the more strange his expression became.

However, he didn't say much, but just bowed deeply before turning around and leaving with Zhang Jinglin.

When he left, someone said under the bronze bell: "Hey, why do I feel like that boy can hear what we say?"

"Farting, yin and yang are separated, how could he hear it?"

"But when Li Laosi was telling a cold joke just now, I saw the corners of this boy's mouth twitching!"

"Don't think so much. I guess this kid has peripheral nerve necrosis, so the corners of his mouth twitched!"

After Ren Xiaosu and Zhang Jinglin left, they suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhang, when will we set off for the checkpoint?"

"At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, you and I will hike 41 kilometers to arrive at the first checkpoint," Zhang Jinglin smiled and said, "This journey will be long, but it will be very meaningful."

"Well, okay," Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at the bronze bell behind him, then followed Zhang Jinglin to his temporary residence.

After ten o'clock in the evening, the bell stopped ringing and it would not ring again until six o'clock the next morning, so as not to disturb everyone's rest.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, Ren Xiaosu quietly flipped out of the guesthouse window and sneaked all the way and quickly approached the bronze bell.

When his figure came to the square, the faint voice sounded again: "Hey, look, why did that kid run back secretly again? What did he want to do?"

"Do you want to pay tribute to us again? Did our heroic deeds touch him?"

"Don't be narcissistic here, I think he has other purposes!"

"Wait, do you remember what I said in the afternoon that he might hear us?!"

In an instant, all the noisy sounds of the heroic soul used disappeared, and everyone watched Ren Xiaosu step by step, trying to observe Ren Xiaosu's movements.

Ren Xiaosu walked to the bronze bell and smiled and said, "I can indeed hear you."

Almost at this moment, the sound under the bronze bell suddenly boiled: "Look, I'll just say it!"

"Damn!"

"Can this kid really hear us? It's so weird!"

"Is this kid a human or a ghost?"

"Ahem, everyone is serious, he can hear it!"

In another moment, all the sounds disappeared.

Finally, a thick voice asked, “Why can you hear us?”

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and explained: "Probably because I have the ability to communicate with the heroes, but I was also surprised that you did not dissipate here."

"Actually, we should have dissipated, but somehow, as more and more people came to pay tribute to us, the more and more beliefs gathered here, and our consciousness gradually woke up. At first, everyone felt bored, but later they thought it was quite interesting. We could watch the days of Fortress 178 get better day by day, and everyone was content."

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a while. Did the spontaneous memorial benefactor of the residents of the 178 Fortress Barrier retain these heroes?

This is actually possible!

Ren Xiaosu suddenly said, "Then are you interested in 'live'? My ability is called the Temple of Heroes. After you accept my summons, you can exist in the form of energy, make physical contact with people, and continue to protect the 178 Fortress."

But when he heard the thick voice, he directly rejected Ren Xiaosu: "You have let so many of us listen to the command of you, a little kid? What a joke? How old are you? Do you know how old we are?"

Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "How old is the oldest among you?"

"191 years old!" said the thick voice: "I joined the army since the beginning of the barrier. How could you let me obey the command of a little baby? How old are you?"

Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows: "I am over 200 years old, what's wrong?"

The heroes: "????"

No matter what I said, I am older than you anyway!

"Bah, the brat is so shameless!"

"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Bao, babe, babe, babe!"

"Get out!"

"You guy is too shameless!"

The thick voice interrupted the others again, and then said to Ren Xiaosu: "You guy, hurry up and get out of here, come and take less advantage of us!"
