Battle of Iasi Memorial Square - Xiaorong Square.
Although Welling is in the sea of consciousness, he has long been familiar with this square through numerous uploaded images on duty, and has even established a holographic system for the square in the sea of consciousness.
However, when I was actually in the square, I was still deeply shocked.
Imperial architecture has always been beautiful in its size.
From the nine steps on the east, west and south sides, you can enter the square with a radius of 400 meters.
The square is paved with black and rough basalt, which looks extremely thick.
The square is surrounded by snow-white white marble granite as a fence.
The fence does not have fine carvings and decorations, making it look more rustic.
The contrast between black and white creates a strong visual impact, highlighting solemnity and solemnity.
Directly north of the square is the altar on nine steps.
In the middle of the altar, a monument towers into the sky.
The appearance of the entire monument is in the shape of a sword, inserted straight into the ground.
The monument is a hundred meters high and the entire body is covered with red metal.
If the sun shines on the sword, it will reflect red light.
The hilt and butt at the top of the sword body are naturally the traditional veranda-top architectural structures of Daxia.
The most shocking thing is the four large golden characters on the sword with fierce and bold strokes.
The soul returns to its hometown.
There is a huge stone wall on the altar directly below the monument.
This stone wall is still made of basalt rocks several meters high, which are interlocked and stacked together. The rough edges and corners of the stone are not even trimmed. The side facing the worshipper is only polished diagonally to create a smooth surface with a A few lines of golden characters:
The small Rong army collected, and the Wuzang beams were rolled out. Traveling around the world threatens to drive away, and the weather continues.
Wen Yin is in a smooth hub, driving me to Qi Fou. The words that speak to a gentleman are as warm as jade.
The words are ancient and the meaning is obscure, but it means missing your beloved.
Ten meters away from the huge stone wall, there is a huge bronze cauldron.
Standing in front of the big cauldron, Wei Ling, Shou Gong and Wantong bowed together:
The soul is back!
…
After a brief visit, Welling began to survey the entire square.
Through the holographic image he constructed himself, he had long ago given up on the front of the altar and the square. There were so many images criss-crossing each other in these locations, and it would not be a place to rob children at all.
He focused on the part behind the monument.
To the north of the towering monument is a huge and suffocating tomb.
Yasi County did not erected individual tombs for the soldiers who died in the war, but buried all the soldiers neatly, row by row, layer by layer, together.
If you are alive, you will share the same robe with your son; if you die, you will share the same acupuncture point with your son.
Tens of thousands of soldiers slept in the same cave.
Even if he dies, he is still a ghost hero.
It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the shadows, and as moving as thunder.
This tomb is as towering as a mountain, which can comfort the ancestors and shock the future generations.
Between the huge tomb and the altar, there are five high walls that are hundreds of meters long.
This high wall is made of thick white marble and is about five meters high. The names and simple life records of all the soldiers who died in the war are carved on the wall.
The high walls are spaced about ten meters apart.
Walking between the high walls, I felt that there were sacrificed soldiers on both sides, lining up to inspect those who came after them.
As Wei Ling walked along the passage, he stopped and looked at everything.
This high wall blocks all sight lines, and only the solemn woods on both sides can be seen to the east and west.
Various ideas flashed through Welling's mind.
He checked the lush woods on the east and west sides corresponding to the five high walls.
As expected, outside the fourth high wall on the west side, in the lush woods, there were traces of the heavy armed exoskeleton.
It was July, and the vegetation was so lush that no trace could be scrutinized for several days.
Standing at the scratches on the tree bark, Welling imagined a scene in his mind.
Before the memorial service began, many people came to these stone walls to pay homage to the victims and learn about their lives.
But at one point in time, the public memorial ceremony had not yet begun. In the passage between the fourth and fifth stone walls, there were three children looking carefully at the written records on the wall.
Separated from the three of them by a stone wall, in the third and fourth passages, there was also a warlock looking at the wall.
At this moment, the distance between the warlock and the three children was only a few dozen centimeters thick wall, so he used some kind of ability to make the children lose their ability to move.
Immediately, an armed sergeant walked out of the woods in the passage, hugged the three children together, or packed them together in a large bag, walked into the dense woods, and ran away.
This process may only take a few seconds. As long as no one else notices it on both sides of the passage, the whole process will be seamless and it will be difficult to detect the details.
The remaining question is how to make sure that at both ends of the passage between the fourth and fifth stone walls, no other worshipers appear at that moment.
Unless, it can be assumed that when the three children entered the predetermined area, there were sergeants at both ends driving away the worshipers:
"Don't look at it now. Come to the square and line up. The public sacrifice is about to take place."
The reason is very simple, and others will not be suspicious. As long as there is a small delay, the sergeants at both ends can leave and enter the position where they were originally supposed to be on duty.
Those who followed were not blocked and continued to enter the passage to visit.
No one would know that in such a short period of time, three children were kidnapped in this passage.
Then, the truth of the incident is lost in the incomprehensible.
Thinking of this, Welling immediately searched for information in this area.
The strange thing is that the information he collected, or in other words, the information uploaded to the system, this part is a blind spot, without any information.
In other words, there is no one on duty at this place that day.
Maybe it's normal that no one is on duty here.
After all, they had just achieved such a great victory, and there were no enemies around. The Western Expeditionary Army was still on the enemy's side to deter the other side.
Theoretically speaking, Iasi County was in a state of absolute security at that time. There is no problem with this reason and logic.
It is inevitable that the adults in the county will have blind spots and negligence when arranging security.
If the three children had not disappeared, there would naturally be no problem.
There is another reason for not sending anyone to guard this position, which can be regarded as a fixed mindset.
After all, this is directly above the altar. If sergeants are placed on duty here, thousands of people will appear below to worship these living sergeants.
That would make the scene look awkward and not serious enough.
Therefore, etiquette-wise, sergeants will not be arranged to be on duty here.
However, this does not mean that there are no soldiers who, like ordinary people, come here to visit and pay homage to their fallen comrades before the sacrificial ceremony begins.
Finally got some clues.
Welling breathed a sigh of relief:
"Let's go back to the city."
"Do you see anything, Captain?"
"There is no clear result yet. Have you made an appointment with Wushu and Yunzhu?"
"We made an appointment, they will be waiting for us."
Wei Ling nodded and walked to the county town with the two of them.
In the county town, most of the wounds caused by the war have been repaired, and they look little different from before.
The defense, storage equipment and passages on individual floors and other small patios have not yet been repaired, and many smart devices are busy moving facility accessories for replacement and maintenance.
Wei Ling and the other three went back to Ginkgo Street first.
Watching the automatic door open silently, but there was no familiar laughter coming from inside, nor the three children rushing towards him, Wei Ling stood in front of the door and did not enter for a long time.
Without entering the house, he took Gonggong Wantong and turned around and walked towards the block where Wushu and Yun Zhu lived.
Under the leadership of Wantong, they soon arrived at the small courtyard where Wuyan's family lived.
The door opened, and Wuyou who saluted respectfully, Yunzhou who behaved a bit dullly, a middle-aged woman with a smiling face, and a little girl who hid her body behind the corridor and peeked out her little head, were all waiting behind the door. .
Wuhuang and Yunzhou were both militiamen and shared a small courtyard. Wuhuang brought his wife and children who were originally on the third floor to live on the second floor.
"Captain... please come in, hello Wantong!"
Neither Wuhuang nor Yunzhou knew that the black-robed woman next to Wei Ling and Wantong was the palace guard.
Welling was not in the mood to give a detailed introduction at this moment:
"You're welcome, I'm just here to ask a few questions."
Sitting down in the living room, Wei Ling didn't take any detours and asked them directly. Nan Xing and others hadn't come back for three days. Did they tell others that Nan Xing and others were going out to participate in the public sacrifice?
Wushuang and Yunzhou were obviously very surprised. They had a relationship with the three children and had a celebration dinner together after going out on patrol that day.
"How could this happen? Have you searched all over the county?"
Wushu's first reaction was that the three children were playing in the county town and forgot to go home.
In his impression, this was the case when Yun Xiang was young.
It seemed that Wantong was still cautious and did not inform them that the three children had not returned.
"Captain, Wantong told me that Nanxing and the others are going out of the city, but I have not been tasked with going out on duty, and I have not told anyone else about their situation."
Yun Zhuo promised first and subconsciously touched the stone beads on his chest nervously.
Wuhuang recalled carefully and finally responded:
"Captain Welling, I'm sure I didn't tell anyone who is unreliable. Wantong knew that I would also go out on duty, and asked me to take care of the three children."
Wei Ling didn't ask any more questions and nodded slightly.
Wushu, Yunzhou and Yunzhou's mother all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wei Ling.
There was a slight luster in Welling's eyes.
"Well, you are all tired. Let's take a rest."
Wushuo and Yunzhou tilted their heads on the stools and fell asleep.
Wantong next to him also fell asleep.
The guard supported Wushu's wife, who was standing nearby, and let her fall asleep on the chair next to her.
The children who did not come out to meet the guests also fell asleep.
Wei Ling's consciousness branched out in many directions and entered the dreams of several sleeping people to examine their recent experiences.
In the natural human world on the third floor, Wushu, Yunzhou and their families entertained their former neighbors at a hotel.
Wuhuang drank a lot of wine and looked forward excitedly. The father and son had followed a powerful captain and obtained honors. From now on, the cloud axis would not worry him so much...
During the battle, the ground on the second floor felt like it was trembling. Yun Xiang was frightened in the room. He was secretly glad that the militiamen did not need to be on the first floor to face the war directly.
Wushuang's wife was shopping in the market, showing off to the women she knew well that her husband and son had both made meritorious services and were decorated, and they were worthy men.
What appeared immediately was Wantong's explanation to Wuhu about taking care of Nanxing and others. The information was exchanged between the two while having dinner at a small restaurant on the third floor.
Then Wantong's duty position was near the city gate hole, and he saw three children walking happily among the crowd.
…
Scenes of various dreams displayed what several people had experienced recently in Welling's mind.
In a matter of moments, Welling recalled all their recent memories and displayed them in the sea of consciousness through dreams.
After all, these people are all natural people without magic defense capabilities. Their dreams and memories are completely transparent under Welling's ability.
With disappointment, Wei Ling dispelled the magic ability.
Wantong woke up first, a little confused:
"I'm sorry, Brother Welling. I must be too tired these days. I actually fell asleep when I sat down."
Wei Ling nodded slightly:
"It's okay. If you're too tired, just take a good rest."
"Hey, Captain, I feel like I took a nap, I'm sorry."
Wuhuo also woke up, always feeling that something was so strange, and fell asleep just after communicating.
Although it is July now, there will never be a concept of heat in this dungeon, and I don't have the habit of taking a nap, which is really rude.
Yun Zhuo and his mother woke up and looked at each other. They also felt strange, as if they had fallen asleep.
"It's okay. I'm just going to ask about the situation and help the adults investigate the situation. Since I haven't informed anyone else, I'm relieved. You guys should go to bed early. I'm leaving first. Don't send me away..."
Wei Ling stood up, followed by Wan Tong and Shou Gong.
Wushu, Wushu's wife and Yunzhu were left at the door, staring at each other.
They always feel that something is wrong, but they don't know where the problem lies.
