Uncle B of the pirate is invincible

Chapter 59 Funeral
"Salute!" With the shout of the officer in charge of the funeral ceremony, hundreds of naval officers and soldiers standing solemnly, led by Colonel Byrne, looked at the 87 naval officers and soldiers who were being carried into the cemetery one by one with deep sorrow. coffin salute farewell.

I saw that under the leadership of a guard of honor composed of 12 armed naval soldiers, 87 black coffins were carried by 348 solemn and neatly dressed navy officers and soldiers, and passed in front of the neatly lined up naval officers and soldiers. The whole process lasted for half a year. For hours, but apart from the crying of the family members following the coffin, none of the saluting sailors made a sound. Everyone saluted with their right arms and watched as the comrades-in-arms were carried to the graves that had been dug and put away.

"Cover the flag!" Following the order of the ceremony officer, 87 non-commissioned officers who were waiting in front of the tomb, holding the folded military flags, walked to their corresponding coffins, unfolded the seagull flags, carefully covered the coffins, and then aligned themselves. The coffin gave a military salute.

"Fire the gun!" The 12 armed soldiers of the guard of honor fired three times at the sky each in order.

After 36 gunshots, the ceremony officer shouted in a hoarse voice: "The ceremony is over! The trumpet is blown! All mourn!"

The low funeral horn resounded over the cemetery, making everyone present feel heavy. Bert lowered his arms with a heavy heart, and stood in silence in front of Second Lieutenant Walker with lowered eyes. Oh, no, this is Captain Walker’s coffin. Just now It was he who put the navy flag on the captain's coffin.In front of him stood the same heavy-faced Guy, Sergeant Jason, Sergeant Carter, and another soldier who had carried the captain's coffin here.

In fact, Bert also wanted to carry the coffin for Captain Walker, but he was too tall for other people to cooperate with him, so he had to try to be the flag-bearer for the captain, which was considered his best effort.They haven't been in direct contact for a long time, but Burt respects this officer who died bravely in battle.While mourning in silence, Burt said to the captain in his heart, "Captain, I have avenged you, so go all the way."

After the low funeral number was over, the ceremony officer continued to announce loudly: "The colonel, please give a eulogy!".

Hearing the voice of the ceremony officer, Colonel Byrne tidied up his already neat black suit, walked heavily to the center of the venue, turned around and faced the lined-up naval officers and soldiers and the families of the fallen soldiers, and said in a heavy tone: "Today, with a heavy heart, we hold a funeral here for 87 brave sailors. They are comrades-in-arms, brothers, husbands, sons, and more importantly, a navy soldier who devoted himself to his duties and defended justice! Lost They are extremely sad. But we must be clear that their heroic sacrifices are of great value! Because just the night before yesterday, the Bloodanchor Pirates, thousands of fully armed Pirates, under the leadership of their captain, the big pirate "Blood Anchor" Hank with a bounty of tens of millions, clamored to bloodbath the town of Rogue, and stretched out their sinful hand to us. They want to kill our parents, brothers, ravage Our wives and sisters robbed us of the wealth we earned with blood and sweat, and burned down the towns our ancestors worked so hard to build! These 87 navy officers and soldiers fought the most brutal battle with the East China Sea in this battle to defend Rogge Town, their homeland and their loved ones. In the battle with the Blood Anchor Pirates, they used their lives to fulfill their duties as a man, a husband, a son, and a navy. They fought tenaciously until the last moment of their lives, and unfortunately, they died heroically. And they The efforts and sacrifices were by no means in vain. The Blood Anchor Pirates were completely annihilated, and the captain "Blood Anchor" Hank was shot dead. Under the swearing-in defense of them and other naval officers, the town of Rogge survived an unprecedented and terrible catastrophe. They are well-deserved heroes! As the commander of the 6th branch of the East China Sea Navy, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the families of the heroes and the navy. I would also like to thank you for your support to the navy and to the just cause. It is precisely because you hand over your most important relatives to the navy that the navy can continuously emerge heroes like them, and can build indestructible fortresses of justice one by one in this sea full of brutal pirates. Thank you, Thank you!" Colonel Byrne bowed deeply to the family members and officers and soldiers in front of him after speaking.

"Woo, woo, woo woo woo woo...!" The colonel's words were like turning on a faucet switch. The family members of the fallen soldiers who were just crying softly finally couldn't help crying anymore. Even the standing navy Some officers and soldiers couldn't help but shed tears.

"Captain!" Guy was one of them. As a 17-year-old boy, it was the first time he experienced such a large-scale parting. Finally couldn't bear it anymore, lowered his head and choked up silently.

"Hey! Cry, it will be comfortable to cry a lot!" Burt looked at Guy, knowing in his heart that he had woken up from a coma, and after learning that so many comrades in a brigade had died in battle, he had been in his heart. There are a lot of backlogs, and now that he can release them with a big cry, Bert is relieved.

And Burt certainly has no experience in participating in such a large-scale funeral, but after all, he is old in his heart, and as a time traveler, he always seems to be separated from people other than Guy and his relatives, so his mood Although it is also very heavy, it is far less sad than Guy.

"It took two days to come here in the blink of an eye. The Blood Anchor Pirates have become history, and the base has lost a lot of people. I am no longer an unknown naval corporal. It really doesn't feel real." Burt looked at Guy. , Thinking of the battle the night before and the ensuing changes, it still feels as unreal as a dream.

Overnight, the most famous pirate group in the East China Sea disappeared. His No. 3 Brigade suffered casualties, most of the senior officers were unable to perform their duties, and the whole team was half-paralyzed.The entire brigade was still alive and kicking, and with the addition of a squadron that went to the north of the island to deal with 'The Loud Voice' Edith, there were less than 130 people.In addition to those in the cemetery now, there are still many soldiers who are still recuperating in the hospital. Some of them can return to the army smoothly, while some can only retire with disabilities.As for Shi Lezhi's team leader, he was now stripped of his military uniform and thrown into prison, to accompany the former chief of staff of the base.But Bert himself became a celebrity in the 6th branch because of his incredible performance in the battle. Wherever he went, people looked at him with awe and doubts. The officers above him were also very polite, not like treating a corporal at all, all of which made Bert quite uncomfortable.

For more than 40 years in the past and present life, it was the first time he felt the attention of the audience, which made Burt very distressed. Not only did he always feel the feeling of being watched, but it was also very inconvenient, which made him want to visit Chaldea these days There is no chance of how many bond points you get in a battle.He is very looking forward to whether the bond point will allow him to raise all attributes to D level.As for the fact that he killed dozens of pirates headed by 'Blood Anchor' Hank in this battle, it can be said that his hands were bloody, but surprisingly he didn't feel much guilt. Instead, after knowing the exact number of casualties of his comrades, I really regret that I killed too late and too little.He has no sympathy for these pirates who have fought, because he has really seen it, so Bert knows that these pirates are completely different from the protagonists in the comics who are more like rangers than pirates Existence, they are the most typical pirates in this sea, greedy, cruel, and covered in blood.

"Please relatives bid farewell to the body!" The voice of the ceremony officer interrupted Bert's thoughts, and when he heard that his relatives were coming to bid farewell to Captain Walker, thinking that he would face the captain's family soon, Bert suddenly panicked for no reason. .

"Captain Walker is not a native of Rogue Town. His parents are in his hometown, and only his wife and daughter are with him." Thinking about Captain Walker's family situation that he heard from Sergeant Carter, Burt wanted to turn around and run away. "Although the captain is benevolent, if he doesn't propose any plan to divide the troops, the captain may not die." This kind of thought came out of Bert's heart uncontrollably the moment he wanted to see the captain's family.

And just when he fell into unprecedented panic, a slim woman in a black dress and a black veil pulled a 3 or 4-year-old blond girl over, wiping tears with a handkerchief as she walked.

"Phew, it's a blessing, not a curse. A disaster can't be avoided." Burt took a deep breath, put aside all kinds of weak emotions, and saluted the woman in black: "Mrs. Dewen, please forgive me." Captain Walker's full name is Devon Walker.

Guy and Sergeant Jason also saluted the captain's widow. Like Bert, they fought with the captain and they also had the guilt of "the comrade died but I was alive" when facing Mrs. Devon. feel'.

Mrs. Dewen was still a little confused. She didn't know that the daughter who would never see her father again bowed to Bert and the five, and said with a choked voice, "Thank you for sending Walker on the last journey."

"You are welcome! We are all the captain's subordinates. He saved us all and is the biggest contributor to the victory of this battle. We would have died without him." Sergeant Jason said sadly to Mrs. Devon.

"Mom, why do you say that they sent daddy off for the last time? Where did daddy go? I want daddy! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ! Suddenly, she pulled Mrs. Devon's clothes and began to cry.

"Daddy is going to sea, and he wants us to go back to grandparents and wait for him. And let me tell Angela, if you are obedient, I will buy you a cute little rabbit doll when he comes back." Mrs. Devon held her daughter's shoulders, holding back Tears said softly.

"I don't want a doll, I want a father! I want a father! Woooooooooooo!" The little girl was not coaxed by Mrs. Dewen, but cried even louder.

"Angela!" Mrs. Dewen looked at her tearful daughter, couldn't bear it any longer, pulled her into her arms, and burst into tears herself.
