Chapter 14 Punishment

"Lord Calamus, the supply station is here!"

Yuna, who was in charge of driving the Iron Fortress, saw the water tower ahead and immediately turned back to report.

"Everyone, look around to see if there is a Kabane. If not, stop here and repair the Iron Castle."

Iris looked at Kurusu and said, "If the old people want to pray, let's take this opportunity to do it here."

"Okay, I'll inform them." Kurusu nodded.

Although Char had previously talked about the liberation of the soul through good deeds, Kurusu himself did not believe it.

Even as time went by, he became more suspicious of Char, because some of Char's actions had gone beyond his previous judgment of being a calamus admirer and a loyal minister of the Sifangchuan family.

Therefore, compared to Char's theory, he believed more in the prayer rituals he had practiced since childhood, and believed that was the best way to appease the souls of the dead. He was still skeptical about what Char had said.

Xia stood up and handed a piece of white paper with writing on it to Chang Pu, "These are the areas that need repairing as reported by the warriors."

"I will arrange for someone to repair it." Chang Pu nodded, and then said with some anxiety: "It's not that I don't believe you, but after all these things, everyone still needs to do something to feel at ease."

"It's okay, I respect your customs." Xia Ya waved her hands to show that she didn't care, and said with a smile, "This is good. I objected before, just because it was not suitable for parking at that time."

Of course, the situation at that time did not allow him to stop, and Chang Pu would not agree, so he took the opportunity to object, and by the way, he would increase his presence and establish his prestige.

Now that he has the opportunity and time, he has no reason to object.

He also knew that this kind of prayer ceremony was said to appease the souls of the dead, but in fact its main function was to comfort the living and help them get out of their grief, so naturally they would not stop it without reason.

Calamus nodded, "Well, I also want to pray for my father."

"Sir, if you protect the Xianjin Post, you will definitely ascend to heaven." Xia Ya said with relief.

Kotetsujo began to slow down, stopped at the supply station in front, connected with the first, and formed a large circle.

This kind of design allows Juncheng to resist the Kabane that may come when it is at rest, so that it will not be exposed to Kabane all at once.

The Iron Castle stopped, and a group of people, with the support of the samurai, walked out of the Iron Castle in an orderly manner, and began to move around in the open space in the middle of the Iron Castle to breathe fresh air.

The space in the Iron Fortress was limited, and everyone was unable to move around. They also experienced an escape. Almost everyone had relatives and friends die, and the atmosphere was depressing.

Only now, after everyone walked out of the Iron Fortress, did the solemn and sad atmosphere dissipate.

When those old people had the opportunity, they immediately ordered others to collect materials and prepare to hold a ceremony to pay homage to their relatives.

Char and Acorus walked together, patrolling the edge of the Iron Castle, checking the extent of the damage to the Iron Castle.

"The most important thing is to focus on repairing the water supply tank. Once the water supply tank is repaired, we can leave at any time without fear of being caught up by Kabane. Other broken parts can be repaired appropriately while driving."

"You are right, the water supply tank should be repaired." Calamus nodded.

For Ironfortress, which uses steam as power, water is one of the most important energy sources. Without water, there is no steam, and Ironfortress is just an iron shell with some defense.

In front of the huge Kabane army, although it can resist for a while, it will soon be torn apart.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the importance of the water supply tank, and it must be repaired as soon as possible.

Calamus immediately added manpower to repair the water supply tank, but not by much.

After all, there are only so many people who can repair, and the local industry is limited. It does not mean that the more people, the faster. The most important thing is that multiple people work together to repair the water tank as quickly as possible.

It soon became dark and the prayer ceremony was almost ready.

A group of people began to hold a prayer ceremony, and they dressed up in strange clothes and danced together.

Acorus did not participate, but she clasped her hands together and prayed silently, hoping that her father's soul could rest in peace.

Xia Ya wanted to pray with her to gain a good impression, but thinking of what she had said before, she still didn't act and just stood aside silently to accompany her.

After a while, a quarrel suddenly came from behind.

"What happened?" Xia Ya and Acorus looked at each other and hurried over there.

Now we are not in a safe post, nor in the Iron Castle, but outside. If a Kabane appears and is not discovered in time, it will be a disaster.

Although Char felt that Sachiko had become a Kabaneri and that no other Kabane would appear at this time, she was not sure and had to take a look in person to feel reassured.

"You damn Kabane, get out of the Iron Castle!"

As soon as he got closer, Xia heard yelling and cursing from in front of him.

A few unkempt guys stood arrogantly on the edge of the Iron Castle, pointing at the faces of Ikoma and others and yelling curses.

Ikoma and others looked angry, Wuming wanted to take action, but was caught by Ikoma and Sachiko.

"What are you doing?" Xia Ya stretched out his hand to hold down Acorus who was about to speak, and walked forward with a stern face.

When several people saw Xia Ya, there was a hint of fear in their eyes, and they couldn't help but move back a few steps, and said with an inward look: "We will never allow Kabane to stay in Juncheng."

"Then go ahead and kill them!" Xia Ya pulled out the bird pill as a reward from the mission and inserted it in front of several people.

Several people were startled and took a few steps back.

Their faces turned red and they shouted angrily, "I...how could we beat them?"

"If you don't have the courage, why did you come?" Char sneered and stared at them, "Who knows how many Kabane they killed?"

Immediately, a samurai stood up and said, "Sir, they are in the last carriage. When the Kabane attacked, these people huddled in the corner and did not kill a single Kabane."

"In this case, how dare they come to find someone who is more powerful than Kabane?"

Xia Ya smiled, and the coldness on his face temporarily receded, turning into sarcasm, "There is only one reason, because you yourself think they are good people and will not kill you like Kabane did, right? That's why you dare to be so unscrupulous

provocation."

"We don't think so!" Several people immediately retorted loudly.

"Then you must have extraordinary courage." Xia Ya nodded, "In this case, I will fulfill your wish."

"You just go and join the samurai, fight Kabane, and protect the Iron Castle."

Several people's faces turned pale, and then they didn't dare to speak anymore and ran away in embarrassment.

"Calamus, it seems that someone wants to destroy the internal harmony of Jiatiecheng. Those people should be punished without eating for a day."

Acorus hesitated, "They already know they were wrong, let's forget it this time."

Char shook his head, "If there is no punishment for doing wrong things, then people who follow suit will soon appear. It is already very hard for the samurai to protect the Iron City. If these people appear again, it will be even more tiring."
