4692, Matargrad

The crowds on the street were busy in the rubble. Some citizens were queuing up for food and blankets. Some were searching for useful items from the collapsed ruins. The soldiers were pointing guns at the dusty prisoners of war, clearing the rubble, filling the craters, building prisoners of war camps, and building tents sent by sisters to help citizens survive the cold night. In the square in the city center in the distance, some soldiers were splitting the collected rags into pieces and piled into firewood, which seemed to be hundreds of piles.

"It was really badly destroyed. I can't recognize the original road at all." Bai Yu looked at the sides of the street that was almost completely turned into rubble and said with emotion.

Anita helped her move forward slowly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not the first time that the Mimatars have experienced the hardships of rebuilding their homes. Our home will be more beautiful."

"What are they doing? Are they preparing for the fuel for heating at night?" Bai Yu pointed to the soldiers carrying the Emmada high-frequency oscillation weapons in the square. Although the high-frequency oscillation functions of those weapons were unavailable due to energy exhaustion, they were still quite sharp. They were chopping the furniture, which seemed far from enough and were constantly damaged. The irreparable ragged wooden furniture was transported here. Bai Yu even saw a "convertible" armored chariot with the top cover cut off by the rail gun, and it was piled with broken wooden boards of various colors.

"No, it's enough to have cotton tents and blankets at night. This is preparing for the celebration tonight. Anyway, the broken furniture is useless, so it's just a bonfire." Anita explained.

"Hey, girl, here." A familiar figure greeted Bai Yu.

Bai Yu carefully identified it and exclaimed: "I'll go, Old Jack, why did he come here?"

Ola jumped out and said, "He arrived with the supplies. This time the Emmada fleet collapsed instantly, and it was the relationship he was looking for."

"That sister Masonic?" Bai Yu asked.

"Yes, their president is here too. The big-breasted girl next to Old Jack is called Rose." Ola said angrily.

"Yes, in addition to the food and weapons you bought, they also sent enough medicines, medical equipment, water purifiers, blankets and cotton tents. Otherwise, everyone would have to continue living in the underground city. It has been so crowded that it has been impossible to sleep in the past two days." Anita said happily at Rose.

"Hello, President Rose, thank you for helping you a lot." Bai Yu jumped to Rose with one leg, held her hand and said with a smile.

Rose smiled heartily and glanced at Old Jack ambiguously and said, "You're welcome, how could I not care about what Jack asked me to do, haha."

Bai Yu saw Rose getting tired of Jack, and instantly got goose bumps.

[Old Jack has such a skill? Big news.] Bai Yu joked with Ora.

Ola sarcastically said: [It seems that this pair of dogs and men are lovers for three centuries.]

"Ahem." Old Jack coughed twice pretending to be serious and asked, "Girl, are you injured again? Come on, let me see."

"The knee twisted." Bai Yu sat down and wanted to slowly stretch his injured leg, but the pain was so painful that it could not be done.

"Good guy, the ligament is torn and the meniscus is damaged." Old Jack pinched his knees a few times and said, "The injury is quite serious, but there is no need to enter the C. echo cabin. Just wait until the swelling is reduced and you will have a repair surgery."

Bai Yu was gently pinched by Old Jack a few times and then sweated: "What's the pain now? It hurts so much. Will you continue to inject local analgesics?"

"Uh, that's not OK. The knees are full of fluid, and the effect is not great. Use ice to compress cold compress first, uh..." Jack said casually, but looked at the surrounding ruins and said self-deprecatingly: "Oh, it seems that there is no such condition. I'll get some desert thorns here for you. That thing has a good pain relief effect. Just scratch a few lines on your knees and apply the crushed desert thorns, but there are still some side effects of numbness in your limbs."

"Fortunately you are here, Ola has prepared more than 100 analgesics and a backpack of oral antibiotics for me." Bai Yu looked at Ola's stereoscopic image and said, "Hmph, veterinarian."

Ola snorted and retorted: "There is no such information in the database. If you have the ability, you can bear it next time."

"Ora, long time..." Rose greeted her affectionately after seeing the three-dimensional image of Ora, but before she finished speaking, Old Jack grabbed her waist with one hand.

"Let's go, my dear, let's find a car to go for a ride outside the city, and by the way, we can find some desert thorns for this girl."

"Okay, my dear." Rose leaned in Jack's arms and turned around and left, but immediately said to Bai Yu: "See you tonight, girl."

"Why do you feel so awkward when she calls me that?" Bai Yu said awkwardly.

"Hmph, I'll take advantage of you. I'll fix her when I look back!" In the three-dimensional projection, Aola's whole body turned bright red and she said angrily.

-

In the evening of that day, soldiers and residents of the city gathered in the square and the streets along the way, sitting in front of the towering piles of firewood, waiting for the night to come.

Bai Yu, Old Jack, Rose and several sister Freemason pilots were all invited to the largest circle in the middle.

"It looks very atmosphere, I don't know what delicious food is at night." Bai Yu said to Anita.

"Yes, I think, it's all the food you shipped, everything, from Gardari, Emma, ​​and many of them from Galente Federation." Anita said with a smile.

Bai Yu suddenly had a bad premonition: "It can't be... military canned meat, right?"

"Yes, it's very sufficient. There are also baked biscuits. I heard that there are many canned fruits and vegetables. Emma's wheat is the best in the universe, so baked biscuits are also the sweetest. The canned blood cherries in Gardari are very unique in the taste. The canned federal meat is slightly heated, haha, it's a delicious food on earth." Anita seemed to be drooling.

Bai Yu started to feel nausea with a dark face: "How many cans have you eaten?"

"A lot of them, I almost always do it on the warships, what should I eat without eating canned food? The Gardari produces all purchased by the army from the guitar galaxy. Emma's cans were seized from the Emmadas. The federal ones are too expensive and usually very few, and they are usually only available in the supplies provided by the federal government." Anita said with her fingers.

Bai Yu asked curiously: "Don't Mimatal produce himself?"

This time it was Anita's turn to get nauseous: "Well, those things are so bad. Once I ate a can of canned meat from our own. The hair on the skin has not been shaved clean, and it is so long..." Anita stretched out her fingers and gestured resentfully.

Bai Yu was relieved and did not vomit stomach acid on her face.

"Everyone, everyone." General Alger changed into a brand new lieutenant general uniform and stood up and shouted: "Let us pay tribute to the heroes who risk their lives to help Matargrad, and cheer them today they are the most honorable guests of Matargrad."

After saying that, the two intermediate officers beside Alger came to Rose and Old Jack, holding a huge round bread and a golden key placed on a thick mat. Rose took the key first, held it high, and handed it to the female officer behind him. Finally, with Old Jack, he tore off a small piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth to chew it. Everyone began to applaud and cheer.

"What does this mean?" Bai Yu asked Anita curiously.

"That is the key to the city gate of Matargrad, and the largest piece of bread baked today. This symbolizes the owner's trust and respect for the guests. It means that Matargrad can trust and hand over his portal to the guests for safekeeping, and present the largest bread in the city to entertain them." Anita said while applauding.

[Well, why don’t I have the share?] Bai Yu asked Ola sourly.

Ola smiled unceremoniously: [You are the major general of the local army in Matargrad and the master here. To be honest, this is your territory. Alger is the first and you are second. Why are you jealous? Hahahahahahahahahahaha.]

[Okay, I'm the second.] Bai Yu continued to jealous with his head on his back.

"Please be quiet, now, the high priest of our temple is going to announce a few things to everyone." After the crowd continued to cheer for a few minutes, Alger shouted again.

[I'm going, the old guy who likes to grab things is here too.] Bai Yu seemed to want to find a place to hide, but found that Anita's back was not that wide.

"First of all, I announce that after unanimous approval by the Chief Priest of the Grand Temple of Pador and the Presbyterian Council, our White Feather General was awarded the most glorious title of Mimatal's 'Jihadist'..." Before the old priest had finished speaking, the cheers of the crowd instantly rushed to the sky, especially the soldiers, who shouted excitedly, almost slapped them.

"Calm down, calm down." General Alger had to come forward again to maintain order so that the old priest could finish his words.

"She is the 1419th jihadist of our Mimatal. Her name has been engraved on the stone tablet of the Pador Church for future generations to admire. May the gods of Mimatal give her strength and wisdom and protect Mimatal forever!" the old priest shouted.

[It sounds like I have sacrificed my life for the country, and it has been carved on the monument.] Bai Yu is so awkward when he hears it.

[Haha, it's not bad. You have just retired after executing the e419 agreement and become a retired person. Now they are the 1419th jihadist in Mimatal. The pronunciations of e419 and 1419 are very similar. It seems to be your lucky code name.] Ola smiled and said, as for the origin of the e419 code name, I'm afraid no one who knows it wants to say it.

[But this old guy is really efficient. He said casually at noon and gave a notice to the evening.] Bai Yu muttered to Ola, while standing up and waving to everyone with a smile.

[It's not for that black book, I'm afraid you will regret it.] Ola exposes the truth, but the reason is far more than that simple.

"In addition, after verification, our holy warrior Bai Yu is the inheritor of His Highness Helende. After her continuous search, His Highness Helende's holy relics killed Emperor Emma in the battle to defend the galaxy of the capital Pador capital, destroyed all Emma fleets, and guarded Mimatal's holy books, and were about to return to the embrace of the tribe." The old priest was flushed with excitement: "Now, let us cheer for His Highness Helende and cheer for His Highness's successor."

"Long live Helend!"

"Long live Baiyu!"

"Long live Mimatal!"

"Long live the jihadist!"

The cheers of cheers stirred the atmosphere to the top.

[Psychologically comfortable?] Ora asked with a smile.

[Well, it's much better.] Bai Yu responded with a completely filled vanity in her chest.

As the crowd gradually calmed down, General Alger shouted: "Next, let us follow the tradition, sing the song of eternal night, ignite the bonfire, and dispel the eternal cold and endless darkness!"

Everyone stood up one after another, folded their arms around their shoulders, and hummed them low and slowly, a desolate Mimatal folk song:

The cold wind is like a sharp blade, and the frozen soil is three hundred feet.

The night is eternal, how can you withstand the coldness of the evening?

The black soil stalk is in the throat and the thatch wraps the body.

The nasal congestion makes frequent noises, and the head is bent and coughs are repeated.

I promised to be empty and could not keep the night cold.

Cover my linen quilt and put on my torn clothes.

Even though I have everything, I can't stand the coldness of the evening.

The wife and children swallowed and cried, and the parents called them hungry and cold.

How can I spend my years with miserable times?

Although the world is vast, it is difficult for me to be alone.

The sun and the moon are dark and illuminated, when will it shine on me?

The cave is full of walls, and the grass is spreading to the wetlands.

The wife and children are lying at their feet, and the parents are snuggling beside them.

The whole family was neither big nor big, and she whimpered and sighed.

There is no fireworks on the stove, and the spider webs are hanging on the pot.

I have been hungry for many days and I will never remember three meals again.

The sound is as thin as silk, and the power is as soft as cotton.

Disasters never come alone, boiling oil burns flames.

The enemy is so angry that it destroys my new home.

This is the way of the world, how can I resolve this life?

Worry is in the world, humiliation is in the world.

I hate that I am not a bird in the air, and I want to fly and lack both wings.

...

The song was filled with indignation and reluctance, but hope and resistance were hidden, like a bonfire lit in the square, reflected in people's eyes. At this moment, the night was dispersed from the earth, and the cold wind was no longer biting. The miserable fate of the Mimatar people also stopped like this desolate song, replaced by the word "freedom" that was constantly shouted. Finally, the ceremony ended with the roar of "Long live the Free Tribe Republic of Mimatar".
