Soon, Jiang Chen's group arrived at the small square.
When Jiang Chen saw the coffins lying there, like the others, he felt an uncontrollable throbbing in his heart. He even had the urge to cry.
The people of the Fire Country were most particular about returning to their roots.
Even if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they would still try their best to return to their hometown.
However, these Fire Country's martyrs had waited bitterly for sixty years in this cold foreign land.
How many 60 years were there in a person's life?
There was only one!
Sixty years was enough to make a crying child turn into a white-haired old man, but these martyrs had waited for a whole sixty years.
Thinking back to that year.
The Yan Huang Clan had just walked out of a few hundred years of darkness and humiliation, but danger had descended once again. The son sharpened his knife and rushed over with killing intent. His allies were indifferent, and their hearts were scheming for the Fire Country's land and ports.
At this extremely dangerous moment, with just an order, these martyrs who were only in their twenties or even teens left their hometown in thin clothes and carrying simple weapons and equipment. They bid farewell to their families and rushed to the battlefield in this foreign country with great vigor.
They were facing an alliance of sixteen countries. The enemy had planes, tanks, and countless cannons.
No one thought they could win.
However, they used their blood and lives to win one victory after another.
But behind the victory was an unimaginable amount of hard work.
Is it cold at-40 degrees?
It was a heart-wrenching cold.
However, the Fire Country's martyrs were dressed in thin clothes, lying prone in the snow to ambush the enemy. A total of 125 people were frozen into ice sculptures. Even at the moment of their sacrifice, they were still holding onto the guns in their hands, their gazes fixed in front of them, maintaining their battle stance.
Tens of thousands of soldiers charged forward continuously, with planes, tanks, and cannons firing at the same time. More than 1.9 million rounds of artillery were fired. Was this firepower powerful?
It was no longer fierce, but violent.
However, the Fire Country's martyrs were not afraid. Even if the entire mountain top was blown up by more than three metres, they did not retreat. They fought the enemy for 43 days, repeatedly fighting for positions 59 times, repelling the enemy's charge for nearly 1000 times, and won that battle.
Why would Luo Yongzhi even tear off his own nose to fight to the end?
That was because he did not want to lose. He wanted to use his actions to tell these martyrs that their blood, their pride and their spirit had been passed down from generation to generation.
The Fire Country had won that battle.
It was also from that day onwards that no other country in this world would dare to look down on the newly born Fire Country. They could only exclaim in shock that the lion of the east had truly awakened.
However, 11,687 martyrs had died in foreign lands. Some of their bodies could not be found after the battle, so they could only wait here for 60 years.
As the Fire Country grew stronger, the Goguryeons no longer dared to obstruct them, even though they had some complaints in their hearts. Thus, today, the Fire Country's younger generation of soldiers had come to take them home.
Swoosh.
After the military salutation, Jiang Chen and the others followed Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei and bowed to the coffin. This was a sign of appreciation from the descendants of Yan and Huang for what their ancestors had done.
Standing up straight, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei said in a deep voice,"Courtesy soldiers."”
"Yes."
The Fire Country's soldiers who had been waiting stepped forward, each of them holding a flag that was as red as blood.
When they reached the coffin, they carefully bent down and covered the flag.
When you came, you wore red flowers, and when you returned, the flag protected your body. Since ancient times, there had never been a peaceful time in this world. Everything was just someone carrying the burden for you.
After covering the coffin with the flag, the ceremonial soldiers carried the coffin.
Thump thump.
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei walked up to the Goguryeon Lieutenant General and saluted him."Thank you for preserving the remains of our ancestors.”
Swoosh.
Returning the salute, the Goguryeon Lieutenant General's gaze was extremely complicated. Just a moment ago, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei had also looked as if he wanted to eat him alive, but now, he was thanking him so solemnly. He was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
The hatred in the hearts of the Goguryeons around him had lessened considerably. Good, the Fire Country's soldiers at least know how to be grateful.
Turning around again, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei slowly sized up the coffins and said in a deep voice,"Martyrs, you've waited for a long time. Now, let's go home together."”
At this moment, the wind suddenly blew, blowing the flag that covered the coffin. It swayed slightly and made a sound.
Home, home.
Jiang Chen seemed to hear many voices ringing in his ears.
Thump thump.
The soldiers carried the coffin and marched in an orderly manner.
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei, Jiang Chen, and the others followed on both sides, protecting the martyrs.
They got into the car and went straight to the airport.
After arriving at the airport, the soldiers carried the coffin onto the large passenger plane, while Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei made his final negotiation with the Goguryeon Lieutenant General and the others.
After the negotiation, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei took Jiang Chen and the others to board the private plane.
Jiang Chen sat next to Luo Yongzhi, so he could take care of Luo Yongzhi more easily. Although his injuries had been treated temporarily, they were still serious. Luo Yongzhi was very weak, especially after overdrawing his potential.
"After you get off the plane, go to the military general hospital immediately. At that time, I will instruct them to perform the best surgery.”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei instructed.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yongzhi hurriedly said,"Reporting to the commander, I want to attend all the ceremonies before going.”
Swoosh.
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei looked at Jiang Chen."Can he persist?”
"I'll rest for a while now. When the time comes, I'll be able to participate in the ceremony. The surgery can be carried out later.”Jiang Chen replied.
"Alright."
Since there was no danger and it would not affect the surgery, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Commander." Luo Yongzhi also heaved a sigh of relief.
"Have a good rest first."
"Yes."
Next, Jiang Chen gave Luo Yongzhi a few injections, so that he could relax and lean against the chair to sleep for a while.
Time passed by slowly.
The two planes soon left Goguryeo and headed back to the Fire Country. Jiang Chen didn't feel sleepy. He just sat there, recalling the traditional Chinese medicine he had inherited. He could only learn new things by revisiting the old.
After more than two hours, Jiang Chen suddenly turned around and looked out of the window.
