False Court
Chapter 1112 Mourning
The False Court·Devourer was as arrogant as ever.
“Heh, then I must thank you for the praise…”
Su Mo replied, his lips twitching.
“I can’t be bothered to praise you, but I suddenly remembered something.”
The False Court·Devourer suddenly said out of the blue.
“What is it?”
Su Mo curiously looked at the False Court·Devourer.
“Your mecha is missing a device. If you can get it, your combat power will skyrocket. Of course, it’s not a big deal if you don’t have it.”
The False Court·Devourer said thoughtfully.
“What device?”
Su Mo became interested and looked at the False Court·Devourer with curiosity.
“A miniature space jump device can allow the mecha to perform short-range jumps. It is a good thing for launching sneak attacks and escaping. And the miniature Ark Heart you installed in the mecha before is enough to provide ample power, so it should be able to operate.”
The False Court·Devourer discussed it with Su Mo. The reason it suddenly proposed this idea was that it saw the capabilities of the Qian Yue Fortress.
Su Mo also became interested, and he quickly asked, “Sounds cool, where can I get it?”
“That’s your own business. Go find it yourself.”
The False Court·Devourer replied very irresponsibly.
“Okay, I’ll check the data myself. In the end, I still have to rely on myself…”
Just as Su Mo was complaining, his phone vibrated.
Su Mo picked up his phone and took a look, slightly stunned. Then he got up and started rummaging through his closet for clothes.
“What’s wrong?”
The False Court·Devourer asked in a low voice.
“Tomorrow, the Federation is holding a memorial service. I’m on the invitation list. I’m looking for a simple black dress.”
Su Mo replied, feeling a little down.
After hearing this, the False Court·Devourer didn’t say anything more and returned to silence.
The next morning, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue, dressed in plain black clothes, arrived at the cemetery on the west side of Freedom City.
At the entrance of the cemetery, solemn-looking soldiers stood guard.
Federal officials and generals, each holding a bunch of white flowers, walked in with heavy steps.
A cool breeze blew by, and withered yellow leaves fluttered down.
Su Mo subconsciously raised his head and looked at the distant sky. Unknowingly, autumn had arrived.
“Let’s go in.”
Qian Chengxue saw Su Mo stop and said to him in a low voice.
“Okay!”
Su Mo nodded slightly and went in.
Soon they arrived at the center of the cemetery. There was a platform erected here, covered with pure white flowers, and black and white photos were placed inside. In the center were photos of Qin Wu and Sebas. They were the highest-ranking personnel who sacrificed in this battle, and also the greatest contributors.
At this time, more and more people were entering the venue. Su Mo and Qian Chengxue walked side by side to the front of the mausoleum platform, placed the flowers in their hands on it, and bowed deeply.
Su Mo faintly heard a slight sob.
Su Mo raised his head and looked over. Beside him was a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament, wearing white mourning clothes, and hugging a seven-year-old girl. She kept sobbing, her eyes fixed on Qin Wu’s portrait.
If he guessed correctly, she should be Qin Wu’s wife and daughter.
“My condolences!”
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue walked over and bowed slightly.
However, no amount of comforting words could soothe the pain of losing a loved one.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue both sighed slightly and walked to the side.
After a long time, almost all the mourners had entered the venue. At this time, Arlais led many councilors into the venue.
He first led everyone to the mausoleum platform to present flowers and bowed deeply three times.
Finally, Arlais turned around, his face looking a little haggard, and began to speak to the crowd.
“Everyone, in the past few days, we have experienced the greatest civilization extinction crisis in history. This crisis has completely awakened us from our dreams and made us truly see the cruelty of this world. It made us realize how weak we are. But we survived. Our heroes used their backbones to support new hope for us…”
Su Mo and others listened quietly to Arlais’s speech.
Everyone’s expression became more and more solemn, and their hearts became deeper and deeper.
“The last thing I want to say is that our heroes will not sacrifice in vain. We will carry their expectations and move forward bravely! Likewise, we will not let their blood flow in vain. I promise here that one day the Federation will make those enemies pay a heavy price. No matter who he is, no one can stop the Federation’s path to rise!”
Arlais declared passionately.
“Long live the Federation!”
…
At this time, the heavy crowd present was revitalized and shouted.
A long time later.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue stood in a corner, quietly waiting for the memorial service to end.
Just then, Councilor Arlais walked over.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were also slightly surprised, and they quickly and respectfully greeted him: “Councilor Arlais.”
Arlais raised his hand to interrupt Su Mo’s polite questions. He replied somewhat wearily: “No need to be so polite.”
“Councilor Arlais, you don’t seem to be in good spirits?”
In Su Mo’s impression, it was rare to see Arlais in poor spirits.
Arlais sighed and said to Su Mo: “There are too many things that need to be taken care of these days, and I haven’t had enough sleep.”
“Councilor, you must take care of your health and rest more.”
“That’s okay, what really caused my poor spirits is fear.”
“Fear? What happened?”
Su Mo’s expression froze and he quickly asked.
Arlais shook his head, and he said calmly: “Nothing happened, I just went to the Gorka Republic to offer my condolences. The tragic scene was even worse than what was revealed on the forum and imagined. It can be said to be frightening. I’m thinking about a question, if the first shot was a sneak attack on us, what would be the situation? And what if Qin Wu didn’t manage to stop it in time?”
“This…”
Su Mo didn’t know what to say for a while, but when he thought that if the interception failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“You don’t need to comfort me, actually, after these things, I’ve figured it out.”
Arlais suddenly changed the subject, his expression becoming unusually serious.
Su Mo was also a little confused, and he looked at Arlais suspiciously and asked: “Councilor Arlais, what have you figured out?”
Arlais patted Su Mo on the shoulder: “Your physical condition is indeed not optimistic, no need to force yourself if you don’t want to go to the front line.”
“Councilor Arlais, you are…”
Su Mo was also a little flattered.
Arlais said solemnly: “After thinking about it, how about you stay and serve as the commander of the Second Expeditionary Force, guarding the Federation?”
