Before the funeral ceremony begins, Owen needs to make good on his previous promises."
Remember what I promised in my previous presentations?
The families of those who died for the border town will be compensated with food and clothing and four gold coins. ”In front of everyone, Owen took out four delicate gold coins and put them in his money bag, and then handed them to Marpel beside him."
Lady Mary, please come and pick it up."
Taking the purse, Mapel turned to look at the woman on the far left in her shabby clothes.Mary was also carrying a sleeping baby behind her.Hearing the knight's name called, she walked up to Mapel in trepidation, her hands trembling out.Putting the money bag into Mary's hands, Marpel said, "When the funeral is over, the people at the town hall will come to the door to deliver the food and firewood for the month, which does not conflict with the church's winter alms, and will receive it every month thereafter." ”The moment she got the money, Mary couldn't help crying after all, and her legs bent and prepared to kneel on the spot."
Your lord, you are so merciful!
Woo, my husband is dead, I don't know what to do in the future, thank you so much, thank you very much, thank you......"
Mapel hurriedly supported her and comforted: "You are right, you want to be grateful for the kindness of our lord."
However, your husband is also very brave, and he died to protect the border town, so please be proud of him. ”"Woo......
I will, I will. ”After a while, Mary's mood gradually eased and she returned to her previous position.With this money and the security of food and clothing in the future, it should not be a problem for her to raise the baby to adulthood.However, there is a high probability that such a widow will remarry.Well, that's not something Owen needs to worry about.As for the lizardmen, who also sacrificed, it was not easy to do.His parents are long since deceased, he is not married, and he has no other immediate family.If you insist on looking for it, you can only go to close relatives.Besides, it is useless to give money, and the Sunken Sand tribe does not need to buy things from humans.After internal discussions, Rusha decided not to make any compensation.Anyway, the Sunken Sand tribe has already gained enough benefits, and there is no need to ask for anything more.Besides, the lizard warrior knew that he was dealing with the rumored undead monster, and he had long been mentally prepared to die in battle.They are already satisfied with such a dignified funeral after death.Next, it's time for speeches.Owen spoke on behalf of the human side, and the content was not long, and everyone present listened attentively.The same can be said of Kadir, who stands at the front of the line due to his diminutive stature.When Lord Lord's words said, "Anyone who gave their lives to protect their relatives and children, and to the border town, should be remembered by us", he noticed that all of his teammates around him unconsciously straightened up, and their faces showed resolute expressions.Even Kadir was infected, and he couldn't help but puff up his chest and stand in a military posture.He felt as if there was a hot current surging in his heart, a sense of honor and accomplishment that he had never felt before.He used to work hard just to fill his stomach, but now he finds himself in a new pursuit.Defending the homeland is a phrase often said by beautiful teachers during cultural training.Since the beginning of winter this year, everyone has successfully blocked two waves of large-scale offensives by relying on their own strength to ensure the safety of the border towns.Looking back on it now, Kadir still finds it a little incredible.The lord really values everyone very much, and this can be seen from the willingness to hold a funeral for ordinary militiamen.This would have been unimaginable before.It's so lucky that Frontier Town can have such a good lord.Of course, Kadir did not mean to belittle the previous lord.What was the lord like a long time ago?
He didn't know.But at the very least, the previous lord was very serious about governing the frontier town.Affected by the curse of the Kaztu, the town inevitably fell into decline and its population gradually decreased.Those people choose to leave, and there is no way to do it.I don't know why, Kadir suddenly had an inexplicable expectation, thinking that the lord had a way to save the border town.Since you can lead everyone to successfully resist the attack of the undead monsters, what else can the lord not do?
After speaking, Owen stepped back and reminded the people at the front of the lizardmen's ranks, "Patriarch Rusha, it's your turn. ”"Oh!
Good. ”After all, among the buried dead are their own clansmen, and as the patriarch of the Shensha tribe, Lu Sha is also obliged to say something to the clansmen.Walking to the front of everyone, Lu Sha glanced at it, and slowly spoke: "The clan also died in battle, Lord Aisen did not treat us as aliens, but gave us the same treatment for the funeral, on behalf of the Shensha tribe, I would like to express my gratitude......
I believe that after this funeral, the clansmen's opinion of Owen will be more positive, and their favorability will be greatly improved, paving the way for the next thing to do."
Yes, Rusha has made a big decision, and this decision will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the Sinking Sand Clan.Then there was Bishop Flynn, whom Owen had specially invited.He read the contents of the canon about the return of the soul to heaven in public, and after reading it, he sent the blessings of the church to the two deceased.Finally, there is the burial process, where the coffins of the two deceased are placed into the dug pits.Under the command of Viscount Jarvis, those present quickly lined up in four lines.Grabbing the shovel, Owen was the first to do it, and at the same time had the meaning of taking the lead in demonstrating.Scoop up a handful of soil, slowly fill it into the pit, and give it to the person behind you.Seeing this, the other three people at the front of the queue also picked up shovels, imitating what Owen had just done.The whole process is very calm, and the person who gets the shovel is careful with every movement, and while handing the shovel to the next person, the feeling of heaviness will be passed on.After the funeral, everyone left the public cemetery one after another.On the way, Viscount Jarvis suddenly spoke: "Marquis Eisen, I didn't expect you to hold a funeral for the militia and the lizardmen. ”"Don't you think it's okay to do that?""
Not really."
Viscount Jarvis shook his head, "This is the first time this has happened, and no one has ever treated civilians like this before, let alone lizardmen."
After the funeral, I could feel a big change in the militia, but I can't say what the specific change was. ”"That's because their sense of identity and belonging to Frontier Town is stronger."
Owen smiled and explained, "When they go back, they will spread what they saw and heard today."
In this way, the militia will demonstrate a strong collective fighting force in order to defend the homeland. ”"I see."
Viscount Jarvis touched his chin and fell into deep thought.Actually, these are all things that Winster taught Owen.If we want to cultivate a strong people's army, it is not enough to just talk about all kinds of big truths.They must be asked to think about who they are fighting for and why.Once you figure this out, the team will change unimaginably.As a lord, Owen must also do something to respond to them, so as to enhance the collective sense of honor of the team, and today's funeral is one of the means.
