Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic
Chapter 36
After Emel left the Spike's house, the Spike vanished into the town of Rulu, and although they were extremely difficult to detect, this time, no one could find any news of the Spike, and Emel had been hiding himself in his room ever since, and no one knew what he was doing except Yoni.
Barron was the first to notice the abnormality, since Emel locked himself in the room, he vaguely felt that the eyes that were observing him around him suddenly disappeared, he suspected that this was an illusion, after all, how could the surveillance that had been for five years suddenly disappear, but out of consideration for Emer's strange appearance, a bold idea sprouted in his heart.
The next night, Barron climbed the walls of the town of Lulu alone, and walked to the place where the first lord was hanging, and out of vigilance, he slowly stretched out his hand and hung above the corpse, and when he saw that he had not been attacked as before, he became bold, and touched the corpse with only bones left, and there was still no movement around him, so that he was even more bold.
Barron pulled a knife from his waist and prepared to cut the rope from which the corpse was dangling, but the moment the blade touched the rope, he hesitated, remembering the steel spike's intimidation of him, and Barron, who had endured their five years of suffering, also became cowardly, and began to question himself if this town was really as important as he thought, after all, from the perspective of Lulu Town, he was just an outsider.
The cacophony of voices echoed in Barron's mind, and he found the one he really needed in his different thoughts: even if he was going to die, he didn't want to be stabbed by steel nails again.
Barron closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and cut the rope, and the bones of the first lord fell from the height, falling to pieces, and the sound of bones colliding woke the night watch soldiers who were sneaking to sleep.
After a few tens of seconds, Barron dared to open his eyes, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and the soldiers also noticed him, and hurried forward to ask what was happening.
"The spikes are gone", Barron was overjoyed, he was both surprised and could not believe all this, but the expression on his face could not hide the excitement in his heart, he resisted the feeling of wanting to cheer, and told the soldiers around him in a very low voice, "Quick, call the brothers, tell them that the lord has driven away the spikes, remember to tell them that they are the spikes that Lord Emel drove away, go!".
The soldiers did not dare to hesitate when they heard this exciting news, and ran to report it, and after they were gone, Barron sat down against the wall, and behind him were the corpses of the lords of the past, but now he was no longer afraid of it, and the sense of security that he had not experienced for a long time relaxed his nerves, and Barron experienced a sense of security that he had never felt before, so that he could sleep soundly even against the wall where the corpse was hanging.
This quiet and peaceful night made Barron begin to reflect, reflect on what he had done over the years, he had a dream, in which he returned to the time when he first arrived in this town, at that time he was still distressed because he did not pass the choice of the Lester army, and spent the whole day in a state of confusion and idleness, because of his military age and military exploits, he was sent to the town of Lulu, which was very famous at that time, but for him at that time, the soldiers of a town were just a job of eating and waiting for death, neither to get ahead, nor to return to his hometown, at that time he did not realize that the city would completely change himself, and would give him the courage to die for this land。
Just as Barron was sleeping soundly, there was a sneeze outside his dream, and he opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by soldiers, some of them shirtless, some of them were draped in thin clothes, and when they saw Barron wake up, their eyes glistened with tears, and the moonlight under the bright full moon could prove to them that they had waited too long for this day, and those who, like Barron, had never left the place could not wait to see the town of Lulu return to its former prosperity.
Barron stood up, no longer intimidated by the horror of the steel spikes, and swore an oath from the bottom of his heart.
"Five years ago, I abandoned the city because of weakness, forgetting how the people of the town greeted me when I first came to this town, and I not only abandoned them, but betrayed them... Even if this betrayal is not forgiven, even if I will die in this town, I will continue to fight, whether it is a steel nail, or some other enemy who wants to jeopardize the peace of this town!".
Barron drew his sword from his waist and proclaimed to the soldiers in front of him, "I swear now! I will follow Lord Emer, and make the town of Lulu more stable and prosperous than it was five years ago!"
The soldiers drew their swords and pointed in front of them, Barron's proclamation aroused their enthusiasm, and they were incomparably excited at this moment, and they also declared allegiance to Lord Emer, and the high-pitched voice pierced the empty and gloomy night sky, waking up the sleeping people of this town, and they listened to the voice, poked their heads out of the dark and narrow room, and looked to the east at the city wall, where countless familiar figures stood, standing with the soft moonlight.
The inhabitants of the immediate vicinity of the city walls heard the declaration of the soldiers defending the city and walked out of their rooms, they could not remember the last time they could come out without fear like this, maybe five years ago, maybe more.
"We will fight to the death for the people!".
"Fight to the death for the people!".
"Pull out the nails!".
"Pull out the nails!".
"Allegiance to Lord Emer!".
"Allegiance to Lord Emer!".
In a period of exhilarating declarations, each of the soldiers defending the city recalled the day they first arrived in Lulu Town, recalled the residents of Lulu Town who surrounded them that day, they were all surrounded by them, without exception, before entering the city, they looked at the banner with their name hanging on the city wall, so after entering the city, the beautiful lady brought a wreath of flowers for them, singing and playing drums in unison, that was the most touching welcome ceremony, it was a grand ceremony that should not belong to ordinary people like them, if they did not come to this city, they would never have had such an unforgettable experience。
What gave them this memory was the most simple and kind group of people.
The moon is fading and is about to set in the west.
The inhabitants of the town of Lulu woke up long before the rooster crow, gathering on the avenue outside the eastern city wall.
At this moment, it is the beginning of the sun's rise.
This is the dawn of the town of Lulu, the dawn of a long absence.
