1363 Their Spirit Will Live on! The Pillar of the Empire! (2)
A light shower fell from the gray sky all of a sudden. Heaven seed to be moved by the atmosphere.
Orderly footsteps were heard coming from a distance. A path was cleared.
Warriors in military attire were making their way over, carrying black wooden caskets. General Caron was in the lead.
Swoosh!
The martial warriors in the plaza stood up straight and saluted.
The ones carrying the caskets entered the building under everyone’s gazes.
As the clock chid, a sorrowful and solemn voice ca from the building and carried in the air.
“To our heroes!
“Your spirit will live on!”
That was the Hero Hall!
Every defense planet had one of such buildings. The corpses of the fallen warriors… or their belongings would be buried there so they could rest in peace.
Wherever they died, they were buried.
It was the highest level of respect for their dead heroes.
It was their ho!
Wang Teng was awestruck. He looked up and felt an invisible force spinning above the building, sothing akin to the souls of all those heroes.
…
The dead were gone, but the living needed to move on.
The next day, everyone swallowed the sadness and switched to their tough side. They resud their usual behavior, firmly set on the martial warrior’s path.
Another matter ignited everyone’s emotions and spirit.
The National Military dal!
Defense Planet No. 29 would receive one soon.
There was great uproar when this piece of news was revealed. It was the talk everywhere, being the hot topic for many days.
Such a recognition was a huge honor; many took it as fuel to motivate themselves.
However, it was extrely rare.
Only a handful of martial warriors had managed to get a dal over the years. Even the older martial warriors who had been on Defense Planet No. 29 for tens of years had yet to see one.
And yet, soone posted on their planet was going to receive it!
It was a huge honor for them all.
In the future, others would say, “Look, they’re from Defense Planet No. 29. They received a National Military dal recently.”
That was why everyone was excited and pumped up.
Everyone was also guessing who the recipient would be. They turned their attention to one person in unplanned synchronicity.
Wang Teng!
General Caron had recited Wang Teng’s contributions a few days prior, so everyone was in the know.
Everyone’s guess was that the young colonel would be the one who would get the dal.
His contributions were outstanding. However, no one thought he could receive the award since it was extrely rare. Not even General Caron could receive it.
But now, everyone was certain it would be him.
Aside from Wang Teng, no one fulfilled the requirents!
Di Qi instantly rushed to find the young hero when he heard the news, feeling extrely jealous.
“You must treat to sothing. It would be inappropriate if you don’t.” His face was red, belying how jealous he felt. He couldn’t control himself.
It was the National Military dal!
What a huge honor!
He hailed from a noble family, yet he couldn’t resist the dal’s allure.
None of his noble peers from the younger generation would ever beat him if he were the one receiving the recognition.
His status and identity would be a notch higher than the rest.
Alas, the dal had nothing to do with him. He could only dream about it.
“It’s just a National Military dal. Why are you getting so worked up for? Calm down,” Wang Teng replied indifferently.
He had already received the notification and knew he would be the one awarded, so he could boast about it peacefully.
He would be reduced to a joke if it weren’t so.
Di Qi’s expression froze. He stared at Wang Teng bitterly.
This fellow is baiting on purpose.
This is infuriating. Isn’t he afraid of getting beaten up?
Wang Teng waved a dismissive hand and said generously, “Anyway, I can treat you to sothing; just tell what you want to eat.”
“Your answer doesn’t make happy for so reason…” Di Qi shook his head and sighed.
“Jealousy will only make you lose yourself.” Wang Teng patted his shoulder.
“Go away!” Di Qi fud.
...
“Hahaha.” Wang Teng burst out laughing.
“Anyway, are you sure you don’t want to consider my cousin? I think she likes you. Her parents have been asking about you lately. Looks like you caught their eye.” Di Qi winked at Wang Teng.
“Co on, why are Olivia’s parents joining the ga?” Wang Teng felt shocked.
It would be fun if they forced him to get married.
“Hahaha, you’re too outstanding. It’s normal for them to be interested.” Di Qi laughed.
“No way. I’m just a small baron, not worthy enough to join a grand duke’s family,” Wang Teng replied hurriedly.
“I have high hopes for you.” Di Qi patted the young hero’s shoulder. He then felt proud for being able to tease the fellow.
He had yet to realize that he might need to pay the price for selling his cousin.
