Chapter 625 The Funeral
Li Xiang waved his hand and summoned a projection of the Great Wall of Iron Blood in the square.
He had placed the Iron Blood's city wall at the Kingdom of Dawn's border, which was thousands of kilometers away from the city. Naturally, he couldn't bring his men there now.
However, as the Master of a top-tier rare treasure, he could summon it back at any time. Even if he summoned a projection, it had the same effect.
They arrived in front of the Great Wall of Iron Blood, carrying stretchers as they stood at the foot of the Great Wall.
No one knew how long the Great Wall of Iron Blood stretched. Even if it were only a projection, one could still see its magnificence. Its entire body was blood-red in color. It exuded an invisible faith that made all the fierce beasts and ferocious birds in the region around The Great Wall of Iron Blood resist. They wouldn't approach it easily.
It was as if something that made them disgusted and feared constantly affected them. That was the fighting spirit of the Human race's heroic souls from The Great Wall of Iron Blood. That battle intent made them wary and fearful.
Even if it wouldn't cause them any harm when not activated, they wouldn't approach it easily.
It was like snakes seeing realgar. Realgar might not hurt them, but they hated places with realgar, so the snakes naturally avoided them.
Everything had a weakness. It was an innate restraint.
"To the martyrs!"
Li Xiang looked at the soldiers' corpses in front of him. After a moment of silence, he let out a cry.
Shua!
A layer of blood-colored divine light bloomed from the Great Wall of Iron Blood, enveloping those corpses.
Those corpses flew into the air as if a mysterious force was pulling them and quickly approached the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
In the divine light, one could almost see the soldiers' heroic souls smiling at everyone as they stepped into the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
"May the broken bodies be buried in the Great Wall of Iron Blood! May everyone in the Human race be like dragons! May Dawn live forever."
Shouts could be heard faintly in the void.
It was the cry of the heroic souls, the undying obsession of all the soldiers before they died.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bodies of all the martyrs sank into the Great Wall of Iron Blood, giving birth to huge blood-colored city bricks that merged with the city wall. The Great Wall of Iron Blood continued to grow and extend even further.
The battle intent within the Great Wall of Iron Blood became even stronger and purer.
In the eyes of the civilians and soldiers, the Great Wall of Iron Blood was tall and majestic. That was a city wall built with the blood and flesh of the Human race's martyrs. Even if they died on the battlefield, they continued to protect the Human race and its people with their remaining souls and bodies.
"Dear soldiers, dear civilians."
Li Xiang landed on the Great Wall of Iron Blood and looked at all the people and soldiers. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Perhaps we don't have a strong body or unparalleled talent, and we're born weaker than other foreign races. But we have infinite possibilities. We have wisdom. We can learn, compensate for our shortcomings, and grow and become stronger."
"As long as we don't look down on ourselves and keep growing, we'll be able to trample all the foreign races sooner or later. The word "human" stands on both feet and raises its head to the sky. What is fragile is never the body but the heart and soul. If one's will isn't strong enough, it doesn't matter how strong one's physical body is or how high one's strength is. They are just cowardly rats. As long as our hearts are strong enough, powerful to the point of fearlessness, we still have the chance to become strong even if our bodies are weak."
"Are the foreign races strong? Yes, they are! They can run amuck in the wilderness and move unhindered in the world. But no matter how strong they are, they will still fall under our swords as long as we are not afraid. The foreign races aren't scary. What's scary is our hearts not being strong enough."
"Being strong alone isn't strong! If everyone is strong, that will be truly strong. One person becoming stronger isn't the way for a Race to become stronger. Only when everyone becomes stronger can the Human race stand among the Myriad races in the universe. We can only occupy a place in this chaotic world by constantly becoming stronger."
"Heavens are in motion ceaselessly, and gentlemen constantly strive for self-improvement."
"Our Human race...will strive to strengthen ourselves!"
Each and every word was powerful and carried a firm belief. It spread to the entire Kingdom of Dawn, every civilian's heart, and etched into every civilian's soul.
The foreign races were not scary. Li Xiang had already led his army and fought their way back from the foreign races' constant attacks. Countless foreign corpses were used to prove that point. It wasn't that the foreign races were immortal. They would still die. As long as the Human civilians rose up and became stronger, no power could destroy the Human race or stop its rise.
"May everyone in the Human race be like dragons!"
Li Xiang looked up into the void and said with a firm expression.
"May everyone in the Human race be like dragons!"
Shouts came from the soldiers and civilians and echoed in the sky of the Kingdom of Dawn, carrying the unyielding faith of the Human race.
At the same time, Li Xiang also gained a tremendous amount of power of faith.
Moreover, the quality of the power of faith was several times higher than usual.
However, he didn't plan to immediately turn it into Divine Power or use it to consume and comprehend Laws. Instead, he continued to store it.
"Master, your most, most, most loyal Lord Black Emperor has returned. Quickly, look at what I have brought you!"
At that moment, the Dark Emperor, surrounded by a large group of Kobolds, appeared in the square of the City of Dawn. When he saw Li Xiang standing on the Great Wall of Iron Blood, he shouted triumphantly.
"What's that? It's a foreign race! Kobolds!"
"Good lord, there are so many Kobolds. Why do these foreign races appear in our City of Dawn? And who are they carrying? Did he bring these Kobolds back?"
"What's going on? These Kobolds are too bold. How dare they come to the territory of the Human race? Do they really think our weapons are weak?"
Countless civilians were in an uproar when they saw a large group of Kobolds carrying the Black Emperor over. Even the army guarding the place unsheathed their weapons and looked at the approaching Kobolds with cold gazes.
A murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire square.
But even so, they did not immediately act rashly.
Judging from that black dog's address and the direction he was looking at, he was likely to have a great relationship with the Country Lord.
"Is it possible that this black dog brought these Kobolds on the Country Lord's orders? "
"Everyone, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. These Kobolds are my slaves, captives, and also my servants. You slaves, hurry up and kowtow." The Black Emperor let out a loud cry with his head held high.
Then, the crowd saw hundreds of thousands of Kobolds kowtowing and shouting at the Black Emperor.
"Our respected Lord Black Emperor, you're an omnipotent God, the Supreme of dogs. The dog of dogs, the king of kings! You are a black light that walks in the world, bringing good news to our race."
"You are the hope, the sun that never sets..."
