The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

Beyond the sky.

Martyrs' Cemetery.

A woman with graying temples sat beside the tombstone, carefully wiping the dust off it.

She moved very gently.

It was as if they were afraid of disturbing the people below the monument.

In front of the tombstone, a little girl with two buns in her hair raised her head, pointed to the sky, and asked softly.

"grandmother."

"Those skeleton uncles are so ugly, why aren't you afraid of them at all, Nannan?"

The old woman paused for a moment while wiping the rag in her hand.

She reached out her hand to her granddaughter.

The little girl ran over and obediently sat in her lap.

The old woman put her arm around her and looked at the resolute photo on the tombstone, her voice very soft.

"Is the little girl afraid of her father?"

The little girl shook her head vigorously.

"Don't be afraid!"

"When she was in kindergarten, some children would scold her for not having a father who loved her, but she never cried."

"Because my daughter knows that I have a father."

She raised her little hand and touched the photo on the tombstone.

"But my daughter can only see her father and the uncles here when she comes to him crying."

The old woman's body stiffened.

She slowly turned her head, and tears silently streamed down her cloudy eyes.

There is an old saying that has been passed down through the ages.

Children can see things that adults cannot.

The old woman muttered a curse under her breath.

"You brat."

"You came but didn't let Mom see you."

After scolding her, she quickly wiped away her tears and patted her granddaughter's head.

She pointed to the figures of Li Yuan and his group in the sky and said softly:

"My little girl."

"These uncles, like your father, are heroes who protect us."

"How could they bear to scare us?"

The little girl nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Beyond the sky.

Countless people had tears in their eyes.

Yes.

Even if he becomes a ghost.

They are still the same group of soldiers who only think about protecting their country.

How could it be scary?

Within the canopy.

The surviving soldier bit his lip hard.

There's a sour, blocked feeling in my throat.

That's the body's reaction when you're trying to hold back your tears.

The veterans who came to provide support kept their heads down and no one spoke.

The instructor slowly removed his military cap, stood at attention, and saluted the backs of the five skeletons.

"Whoosh!"

No one spoke.

The veterans saluted in unison.

This salute is paid to the fallen descendants.

It is also a tribute to the unbroken backbone of the Northern Army.

The golden figure looked at Li Yuan and his group of five, who seemed to be "taking one last look at the human world with their last moments," and suddenly chuckled.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire section of the city wall.

"Feed".

"Are you coming back for dinner later?"

Li Yuan paused in his steps.

He didn't turn around, he just raised his hand and shook it.

"No!"

"Senior, what if this is an illusion you created for us?"

Thanks!

Zeng Tie also raised his hand and shouted without turning his head:

"Hey, you shiny gold guy!"

"I just cursed at you; it was my fault for being so rude."

"The North and our surviving brothers are in your hands now!"

The other three soldiers also raised their hands.

"The safety of the Northern Frontier rests on your shoulders, senior!"

"If there is an afterlife, I will return to the North!"

"Next time, we'll defend this city again!"

Five skeletons walked forward under the setting sun.

A charred skeleton, tattered military uniform, and a bloodstained battle knife.

The tragic sight of that figure left one speechless.

The golden figure watched this scene, crossed its arms, and the smile on its face gradually faded.

next moment.

As Li Yuan and his group of five stepped out of the boundary enveloped by the golden halo.

"Snap—"

"Slap slap—"

The five skeletons froze simultaneously, their knives slamming into the city bricks one after another.

Followed by.

Their bodies fell straight forward.

"Well--"

Li Yuan fell to the ground, letting out a muffled groan he couldn't suppress.

Zeng Tie and the other three also fell one after another.

At first, they were still enduring it.

But soon, the five skeletons began to roll on the ground.

"Well--"

Li Yuan managed to squeeze out a cry of pain.

Then, he curled up completely.

pain.

The pain was overwhelming.

Fire.

Cut with a knife.

Cracked bone.

The internal organs are being torn apart.

Even though he was just a skeleton, countless kinds of pain still exploded from his mutilated body at the same time.

It was as if someone had stuffed everything he had endured before his death back into his body.

"ah--"

Zeng Tie rolled on the ground, his finger bones digging fiercely into the cracks between the city bricks.

"grass!"

"Ouch, that really hurts!!!"

The other three were also in so much pain that they kept pounding the ground.

Click.

Click.

The charred bone finger struck the city bricks, making a cracking sound.

Li Yuan clenched his teeth so hard they clicked.

Even though he had no eyelids, he felt his vision growing heavier and heavier.

My consciousness felt like it was about to plunge into darkness again.

A roar of fury erupted instantly around them.

"Help!"

"Where's the army medic?!"

"Quickly, save him!"

A medic rushed over, his hands trembling as he looked at the five skeletons on the ground.

"Sir..."

"They're just skeletons now."

"There...there's no treatment available!"

These words were spoken.

Everyone around turned pale.

Li Yuan listened to the indistinct sounds around him and suddenly smiled.

"This senior..."

"They really have created a complete illusion for us."

Even the pain feels so real.

tread.

tread.

tread.

Amidst the muffled sounds, the crisp sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

A ray of golden light entered Li Yuan's dimming vision.

He could barely make out a pair of feet stopping in front of him.

next moment.

His head suddenly felt warm.

Someone crouched down and placed their hand on his skull.

Yes……

senior?

Before Li Yuan could figure it out, a warm current had already flowed into his head.

The excruciating pain that nearly crushed his consciousness was gradually washed away by that force.

Faint golden patterns shone on the charred bones.

The once empty chest seemed to begin beating faintly again.

a bit.

Another one.

The surrounding military doctors widened their eyes in surprise.

"this……"

"There's hope!"

"They've come back to life!"

Everyone on the city wall looked at the golden figure at the same time.

The voice, which was originally indistinguishable by gender and seemed ethereal as if separated by eternity, suddenly gained a touch of human warmth at this moment.

He looked down at Li Yuan and the other four, his tone indifferent.

"I have called you all back for dinner."

"Aren't you going back?"

A golden light suddenly shone.

On the five skeletal remains, flesh and blood were regrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

next moment.

"What's wrong?"

The voice rang out again.

"Are you trying to defy the Emperor's will?"
