Chapter 354 – Celebration (5)
Outside the desolate wilderness, with the burning town as the background, Jin was alone. He became silent, one hand in his trouser pocket, the other facing the ground. With a clench of his five fingers, the earth started to shake. Su began to split under the will of Jin and followed Jin's orders to rise up a gigantic boulder that was nearly a hundred meters long, wide and ten meters tall.
After the several tons of stones were moved to the side, a regular pit appeared on the ground. So King carried out the bodies of all the people in the town, one by one, and placed them neatly in his grave, which had been built for all the dead. When he placed the last Old Pete into the grave, the sun had already set. The light of day stretched the shadow of King's shadow, making it seem so lonely.
“Farewell, Old Pete.” With a wave of his hand, the stone that was placed beside him flew over and exploded into dust in the air. Then, with a “hualala” sound, it fell into the hole and was filled up.
Jin took out a stone tablet from the ground and used his yellow finger to carve a line of words on it: Beaumont Cemetery.
When he was done, Jean stuck the tombstone into the ground and, without looking back, pulled up the motorcycle and drove away. He drove toward the horizon as if he were chasing the horizon, the flames of hatred dancing in the lonely rider's eyes.
Jean's teeth were about to shatter as he spat out the words: “Zero, I will kill you! Just as my lord said, all you bring with you is destruction! ”
The moment before nightfall, the convoy of zeros finally reached Julian Mountains. They had already informed the Asgard of their arrival in advance, so not long after the convoy stopped, the Yurian Mountains opened up a cave. There were red lights in the dark tunnels, showing the way to the Asgard. As the car pulled into the tunnel, Zero suddenly jumped out of the car and instantly entered battle mode.
But then he relaxed.
“What's wrong?” Su turned her head and asked curiously.
Zero shook his head. “I'm a little nervous.”
Su laughed and said: “Then let's rest for a few days. There shouldn't be any more important missions to follow.”
Zero nodded and closed his eyes. He wasn't nervous, but he suddenly felt a cold killing intent. It was a killing intent directed at him personally. This meant that there was someone who hated him so much that they had a bad impression of him right now. He couldn't think of anyone who harbored such a deep hatred for him, but he didn't care. So far, Zero had forgotten how many enemies he had.
When the convoy exited the tunnel and saw the Asgard's golden door, a strange feeling surfaced. It was like how a wanderer who had been away for a long time would feel when he returned to his hometown. He mocked himself: “Since when did you treat the Asgard as your own home?”
But it wasn't just zero. Everyone else felt the same way. The Asgard possessed this kind of magic, allowing everyone who came to this city from the wilderness to feel a sense of belonging. There were many kinds of sense of belonging. It could be glory, status, money, wealth, or dignity. No matter which one it is, the Asgard can give it to you as long as you possess a value equivalent to it.
It was because of this that the Asgard was able to absorb so many talents in the wilderness. It had its own special cohesiveness that other cities were unable to create.
When the convoy crossed the steel bridge and the golden gate slowly opened, everyone was stunned.
Behind the golden gates, two rows of angry knights appeared. Following the n.o.ble etiquette of the old era, they welcomed the return of the zeros with pa.s.sionate music. Ahead of them on the road was Ben. Today, Ben was wearing an extremely luxurious uniform. It was the uniform of an Imperial Marshal. On his chest, there was a dazzling badge. Each badge represented the great contribution this old man had made to the city.
Behind Ben were the high-ranking, high-ranking faces. The icy Valkyrie, the unsmiling War G.o.d Tyre, the Thunder G.o.d Sol who revealed a lazy smile, the cold and seductive Loki, the Badr who forever emitted a warm smile like the sun, as well as some other people that Su Yun did not know.
These people were either n.o.bles in the city council, or Iron-Blood Army like Callio, they were all people on the pyramid of Asgard. Normally, it would be hard for these people to even see one of them, but now, they all appeared at the entrance of Asgard, and the close to ten thousand commoners behind them welcomed the convoy.
In the midst of the music, the team stopped and they jumped off the car. At this moment, Ben raised his hand. The founder and ruler of the Hall of Heroic Spirits made a gesture. At once the music of the honor guard and the cheers of the citizens died away like a miracle.
Ben Xiangtong and the others went up to welcome them and said loudly to everyone, “All citizens of Asgard, let me introduce these few brave warriors to everyone. They are the outstanding warriors of the Doomhammer, the fearless warriors of our Asgard. They used their blood and their lives to create an opportunity for us to destroy an evil kingdom. It was them, who had desperately held up the king of the living corpse at the last moment. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have won so cleanly and beautifully! ”
“However, there is a price to be paid for victory. Three warriors lie forever in a foreign land, and we can't even bring their bones back. However, their unyielding souls would forever live within the Hall of Heroic Spirits. The glorious personality that erupts in the face of evil will forever reflect the path we tread. The dead are dead, and as living beings we will bear greater responsibility. Together with these few returning brave warriors, we will create a bright future for humanity! ” Ben shouted, and lifted his hand, which held zero, high up in the air. “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
The cheers were like a tide!
The citizens' cheers and applause were getting louder and louder. At this time, the battle song rose again, and flowers and pigeons soared into the sky, causing the atmosphere of the entire Asgard to reach its peak.
Amidst the cheers, Ben lowered his voice and said, “Welcome back, zero.”
Zero shook his head and laughed, “I thought you were an alcoholic, but I didn't expect your acting to be so good. However, in order to win over the hearts of those who have died in battle, be careful not to anger them. ”
Ben smiled and said, “You don't know about politics anymore. I'm doing what I have to do, and I've also helped you create the image of the brave. This way, I can help you guys get promoted and raise your pay so that you won't be criticized, understand? ”
“I think you think we don't have enough enemies.” Su Bai said.
Ben, on the other hand, was an experienced man and immediately understood what he was saying. Still smiling, he waved to the citizens and asked, “What's the matter?”
“It's nothing, I think there are people who aren't willing for us to come back, so the pa.s.sers-by on the way back specifically welcomed us once.” Zero said as if nothing had happened.
Ben's smile did not change, but his eyes shone with a sharp light, clearly angry. He sneered, “Then I want to see who has the guts to do so.”
His tone changed, and said again: “You don't need to care about this matter, Callio and I will handle it. In a while, all of you should go back and take a bath, change your clothes, and prepare to attend the celebration party for you tonight. ”
