690, Funeral of Saint Alex
The news of "the fall of Saint Alex" was like a thunder, hitting the heads of every Delphi people.
A grain of sand of the times is like a huge thunder when it falls on the head of every Delphi people.
The guardian of the principality died like this?
.
They were very happy yesterday because His Highness Sean promulgated many policies that benefit ordinary people.
Moreover, His Highness cut the leeks of the nobles and wiped out the gangs, which not only made their living environment much more comfortable, but also used the gold coins on the people at the bottom, and everyone received huge dividends.
But today, Saint Alex fell!
Without Lord Sage, how can they rely on to resist the powerful invasion of the Shancha family?
You know, the other party has three saints!
.
Suffering such a huge blow, the people in Delphi didn't know what to do for a while.
Although His Highness Sean also said on the radio that he would stay in Delphi and live and die with the people of Delphi.
But His Highness Sean is not a saint after all, and people do not believe that he is strong enough to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
As a result, the entire city of Delphi turned dark gray.
.
Sean knows the psychology of the people in the city.
He also knew that the "fall of Saint Alex" was no less than the end of the world for ordinary people.
When the "end of the world" comes, there will definitely be big problems with the security in the city!
Many people want to indulge before they die.
The lighter ones will squander their wealth and drink too much;
The more serious ones will go to the streets to beat, smash, loot and burn, seek money and kill people, and insult women.
And there will be many people packing up their belongings and preparing to surrender/run away.
So after Sean announced "the fall of the saint", he ordered Tosk Violet to dispatch the city guards to guard the streets in the city to maintain law and order.
At the same time, Sean also broadcast to all the people through Khadgar, saying some inspiring words such as "Don't be afraid of any difficulties we encounter, face them with a smile." to appease the people's emotions.
Finally, Sean also called on everyone to go out of the city to meet the saint's body and see him for the last time.
.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, it was raining lightly in the sky. (These rains were artificial rainfall that Sean asked Khadgar to create in order to enhance the atmosphere.)
Outside the north gate of Delphi Fortress.
Sean was wearing a pure black luxurious dress, holding an umbrella in his right hand and holding Zoe in his left arm.
Zoe's eyes were red, and she hugged Sean's body tightly, fearing that Sean would suddenly leave her like Grandpa Saint.
Inadvertently, Zoe also glanced at the [space ring] on her thumb.
As the owner of the ring, she can see a spear shining with golden brilliance through the [Space Ring].
If Delphi really reaches the point where the city is destroyed and people are dead, maybe she can only bear the enemy's damage and save brother Sean's life.
.
Sean stood at the front of the welcoming team with Zoe in his arms.
Standing behind them were, in order, Khadgar, Tosk Violet, John Eagle, seven gold-level powerhouses under Sean, and the dignitaries of Yohn City.
Of course, this is only a small group of people.
Behind them were city defense troops, reserve battalion soldiers and residents of Delphi Fortress.
Everyone dressed in black clothes and held flowers in their hands, quietly waiting for the arrival of the saint's remains.
.
Opposite them is the Lion army that has returned.
Kevin Violet, the strong man at the top of the sky, Berek Violet in the middle, and Zoffie Violet at the bottom walked at the front of the team.
The three of them are already the only three sky-level powerhouses left in the Violet family, excluding of course Isabel Violet who is now in Palomia and Avril Violet who defected.
This war greatly damaged the vitality of the Violet family. Not only did the saint fall, but the number of sky-level experts in the family also dropped from 11 to 4.
As for the troops who went on the expedition, they suffered heavy losses.
During the expedition, there were a total of 45,000 main troops, known as the "200,000 army"! (With the addition of mercenaries, auxiliary troops and militia, there were indeed so many logistics troops.)
There are only 15,000 main troops who can come back this time? And there are 2,000 new recruits among them.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one out of ten is powerful.
.
Seeing the muddy Ryan's army appear in the field of vision, Sean was also sighing.
Do you want to say that this battle is worth it?
It's actually worth it.
The heaviest losses were of course the battle in Wind's Breath City, where the principality lost four sky-level powerhouses and a large number of soldiers.
But what if there hadn’t been this war? Prome Shancha, the peak powerhouse of the Sanctuary, had already broken through the ranks of legend!
By that time, the entire Principality of Lane will probably become history.
Sean still approved of their choice.
.
But recognition does not mean that Sean will forgive their mistakes.
Massacre, genocide, burning, killing and looting are unforgivable crimes! Even under the laws of this world, they are extremely unacceptable.
So even if they have made meritorious service to the principality, they still need to be rewarded where they should be rewarded, and they still need to be punished where they should be punished.
After the war is over, Sean will still sentence them to serious crimes.
.
.
Kevin and other three sky-level experts were at the front.
The three of them jointly carried a coffin with a black background and a white surface, and walked slowly towards Sean.
Behind them were senior military officers and ordinary soldiers.
It's just that everyone's expressions are very heavy.
.
A few minutes later, the two groups of people met at the city gate.
But no one spoke.
Sean put Zoe on the ground, walked up and shook hands with Kevin Violet, and then stood beside him and saluted the saint's remains.
Kevin Violet and the other two strong men looked at Sean with complicated expressions.
Then they continued carrying the saint's coffin through the gate into the fortress of Delphi.
Sean and others followed the team.
No one spoke.
.
After entering the Delphi Fortress, both sides of the road were already densely packed with residents and soldiers maintaining law and order.
Everyone paid attention to the coffin of the saint.
Some people's faces are hurt, some are full of despair, some are bursting with tears, some are heartbroken...
Some people are still unwilling to accept reality? They are shaking their heads crazily.
Just like that? Accompanied by whimpering sounds on both sides of the road, the large army arrived at the cemetery in the north of the city.
All the great generals and strong protectors of the country are buried here, and the Saint Alex is certainly no exception.
.
In the cemetery in the north of the city, the remains of Saint Alex were placed in a prepared tomb.
Kevin Violet unceremoniously served as the funeral celebrant.
Chapter completed!
