Chapter 1381: Chapter 1347: Ti Alone
The soldiers from the Bright Organization had long realized that all of their team leaders and leaders had left, leaving them here to hold the fort. If they died, it would be too uneconomical. After all, the ones leading had already fled, so why bother risking their lives? So, surrendering beca the natural thing to do. They all started dropping their guns and walked down the hill in a line, hands behind their heads.
“I didn’t expect your mouth to be quite slick!” Yao Yue patted Haozi’s shoulder and said, “I’m short a lecturer over there; might you be interested?”
“Uh…” Haozi was imdiately stunned and quickly gave a bitter smile, “Sister-in-law, I’m the dignified steward of the Luo Sijue family; how could I go over there and be a lecturer?”
“Haha… I’m just kidding!” Yao Yue laughed.
…
Ever since hearing that tragic-like news, Ye Chen had been engulfed in a state of pain and grief. The sun was high, the sky was cloudless, but in Ye Chen’s eyes, it seed like a thousand miles of haze, unable to see the color of the sky’s sun.
“Heizi, I’m sorry!” Ye Chen wore a black suit and stood in front of Da Hei’s grave.
“Brother, don’t be sad!” Da Xia hung his head, not knowing what to say. Although he kept repeating that sentence, his words were sincere, and his emotions were earnest. At this mont, no persuasion could be heard, watching his brothers leave one by one. Ye Chen was extrely upset. He bit his teeth hard, trying not to let his tears fall, but ultimately he couldn’t deceive his eyes, and tears poured down madly from his eyes, drop by drop onto the grass, that patch of freshly opened soil…
“Say nothing, let sit here for a while!” Ye Chen waved his hand, covering his eyes with his left hand.
Da Xia glanced at Haozi, who in turn looked at Yao Yue beside him, and at this ti perhaps only Yao Yue could speak. Yao Yue nodded to the two and said, “Let him be alone for a while!”
“Yes!” Da Xia and Haozi nodded and then turned to leave.
Da Hei’s grave had been freshly mounded, with fresh soil and a huge tombstone. It read: “Da Hei and Luo Sijue Family Warriors’ Tomb.” This tombstone stood about a person’s height, with red painted letters on it.
Soldiers all around began to withdraw; Ye Chen slowly squatted down alone, his hand caressing the tombstone. Yao Yue stood by, but did not stop Ye Chen. Instead, she kept looking at Ye Chen’s back. At this mont, in this scene, she couldn’t step forward to stop Ye Chen; everyone had their emotions, everyone needed to vent their emotions. So, Yao Yue had to tell herself that Ye Chen was just an ordinary person, and he was an emotional ordinary person. His emotions needed to be vented, his soul needed healing.
Ye Chen squatted before Da Hei’s grave and said: “Da Hei, you once said you’d follow if I avenged for you. After avenging, you said you’d always follow . But you broke your word, you went ahead of . Once mighty like the Eight Hidden Generals, how many are left now? Two crippled, three dead… how many brothers do I have left to tornt like this?”
“Brother Chen!” Feng Zhixiao rushed over; he had been busy with troop movents. Upon hearing Da Hei and Tie Niu were dead, he put everything aside and rushed over. Seeing the tombstone for Da Hei, he fell to his knees and roared: “Heizi, how… how could you step ahead of , how could you die before ?!”
Feng Zhixiao’s anger had reached its breaking point; he gritted his teeth, pounding the tombstone forcefully with fists. His fists were pierced by the sharp stone. But at this mont, Feng Zhixiao couldn’t control his emotions.
Before Da Hei’s grave, two n were crying, especially Feng Zhixiao, almost unable to control his emotions. Yao Yue silently stood by without stopping them.
After a long while, Feng Zhixiao’s emotions seed to have cald sowhat; he sat on the ground, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Ye Chen. Ye Chen likewise sat on the ground, the two back-to-back, Ye Chen took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, then pulled out a lighter.
Click…
Lighting the cigarette, maybe at this mont only a cigarette could suppress the emotion within, Feng Zhixiao also put a cigarette in his mouth, the two back-to-back leaned against each other, Feng Zhixiao curiously asked, “Brother Chen, what about Tie Niu?”
“Tie Niu’s body is in the ship’s freezer.” Ye Chen took a deep drag on the cigarette.
“Brother Chen, why don’t we just bury Brother Tie Niu here too!” Feng Zhixiao looked at Ye Chen and said, “I think the scenery here is quite nice, and Da Hei and so many brothers are here. Later, we could move Xiao Bai here too. When I die, I’ll be buried here as well!”
“Alright!” Ye Chen thought Feng Zhixiao’s suggestion was good. So, he imdiately had Tie Niu buried here as well.
No one knew that this Island would beco the resting place for Ye Chen’s Eight Hidden Generals. At this point, two tombstones had already been erected. Ye Chen decided that after a while, he would move Xiao Bai’s grave here too, so he wouldn’t be too lonely elsewhere.
The Island had already been cleaned up, and all the bodies had been piled together. The Luo Sijue family soldiers were buried in a mass grave, while the soldiers from the Bright Organization were all burned to ashes and then spread across the Island, becoming fertilizer for the flowers and trees.
As they were leaving, Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t expect that this battle would cost so many soldiers and generals.”
“Brother Chen, this battle has left the Bright Organization unable to ever lift their heads again!” Haozi quickly comforted him, “After this, I believe the enemy won’t dare to invade again.”
“As long as they are still alive, they are a threat. I don’t want this threat to continue existing in this world!” Ye Chen looked at Haozi.
Haozi was slightly taken aback, then imdiately nodded and said, “Brother Chen, don’t worry, I understand!”
“Hmm!” Ye Chen nodded and then said, “It’s good that you understand. No matter where the enemy is hiding, we must find them. The current Heavenly Reversal Gang is no longer the old gang that could be bullied.”
“Yes!” Haozi nodded. The Heavenly Reversal Gang was indeed no longer the old gang from Jianghuai City that was trampled and bullied everywhere. Now the Heavenly Reversal Gang had beco a world-class organization, with many people eager to join but unable to find a way in. Many sought to beco allies of the Heavenly Reversal Gang but were kept at arm’s length. Especially now, with the Luo Sijue family and the Church Court as allies, the Heavenly Reversal Gang was truly unstoppable.
Haozi believed that it wouldn’t be long before the Bright Organization was found.
With a grand retreat from the Island, tens of thousands of soldiers boarded dozens of ships one after another, then returned to Leisure City. Leisure City was already deserted, and upon hearing about the war, many people imdiately moved towards Sunset City, leaving only a small fraction of the previous population behind. The streets saw few Leisure City residents, mostly soldiers on patrol.
Hearing that the Luo Sijue family had won a complete victory, leaving the enemy without a trace, the residents spontaneously gathered at the docks to greet the Clan Leader upon his return. Every resident had an understanding. They all knew that the Luo Sijue family faced turmoil every ten years. This ti was no exception. Therefore, they didn’t consider this conflict as Ye Chen’s fault but rather as destiny. No one blad Ye Chen. On the contrary, they were deeply grateful to him.
At the docks, thousands of residents waved flags, with colorful banners fluttering. There was even a dedicated band playing to welco their inner hero back triumphantly, not realizing that this ti the Luo Sijue family’s soldiers had suffered heavy losses. Out of ten, perhaps six had died. More than half.
“Brother Chen, the citizens have all co to welco you!” Haozi said excitedly. While in the past residents would spontaneously co to greet the Clan Leader after victories, this ti Haozi was particularly delighted. Although the war could only be described as a Pyrrhic victory, at least it was a victory. With so many reinforcents, the enemy dared not invade again, and they lacked the strength to do so.
“Sigh!” Ye Chen sighed and said, “How can I face everyone now?”
“Brother Chen, look on the bright side!” Feng Zhixiao quickly comforted him, “Although this was a Pyrrhic victory, at least we won. Plus, the enemy’s strength has been greatly reduced. They won’t dare co back for another ten years, and even if they do in a decade, they won’t be as strong as they are now. So, this Pyrrhic victory at least brings ten years of peace for the Luo Sijue family!”
“That’s true!” Ye Chen thought for a mont and seed to agree.
One after another, they landed at the docks, where Bai He seed to have been waiting for Ye Chen for a while. Since the Church Court and the Luo Sijue family were allies, Bai He’s visit to Leisure City was a gesture of goodwill, accompanied by the assistant steward along the way. Bai He’s main reason for coming to Leisure City this ti was to personally welco Ye Chen.
Standing at the dock, Bai He imdiately saw Ye Chen, and of course, she also noticed Yao Yue standing beside him. Yao Yue’s appearance made Bai He feel a pang of awe. This woman, even in a camouflage outfit, had a stunning figure, a gorgeous face, fair skin, and those big eyes, giving Bai He a sense of intimidation.
