Tie Zheng's trembling body slowly calmed down, regaining his majestic aura. Feeling the soft and delicate hand in his large hand, he suddenly laughed and said loudly, "Brothers who have fallen in battle, do you see this from the heavens? This is your sister-in-law!"
"It was on that day that I, Tie Zheng, swore that all my brothers, be it dead or alive, as long as I, Tie Zheng, am still alive, this wedding will continue. Then, my wedding wine, be it in heaven or on earth, will everyone have a goblet!"
"This goblet of wine belongs to Yutang's militants!"
Tie Zheng's voice was like thunder, like a thunderclap in the clear sky, deafening to the ears.
"This goblet of wine belongs to Yutang's militants! However, this goblet of wine also belongs to all the militants in this world! "Beside him, the four old marshals of the four empires stood up simultaneously and echoed loudly.
"The joy of life, the brothers on the battlefield, be it dead or alive, will all have a goblet of wine! This is Yutang's military event! We old men have discussed and turned this grand occasion into a grand occasion for the entire continent's militants! "
"We want to drink such a goblet of wine too! Our brothers who have fallen in battle want to drink as well! They should have a share in this goblet of wine! "
"Yutang's militants who have fallen in battle have died in our hands; our brothers who have been slumbering in the underworld have died in the hands of Yutang's militants as well. Enemies of life and death, different paths. While you all are drinking, we want our brothers to have a goblet of militaristic wine as well! "
Han Sanhe's gaze was like two bolts of lightning that shot across the sky. "As militants, we've drunk the goblet of war countless times, we've drunk the goblet of victory countless times. However, we've never drunk such a goblet of wine that only belongs to militants."
"Because the wine of militants belongs to brothers who have lived and died, regardless of friend or foe," Han Sanhe said, "There has never been such a goblet of wine before, and there probably won't be again in the future!"
"Today, General Tie's wedding has provided us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." The old marshals puffed out their chests at the same time. "On the battlefield, we shall be enemies!"
"However, no matter how we fight to the death, militants will always be each other's confidantes!"
"Thank you, General Tie. Thank you, Yutang's military brothers, for promoting this grand event of the world's militants!" The four old marshals with fluttering white beards raised their hands in salute at the same time.
Tie Zheng guffawed. "Brothers, do you see this? Everyone standing on this stage today is our greatest enemy! They are also our greatest enemies. They are expressing their heartfelt gratitude to us! We will accept this gratitude without any psychological burden. Remember to remember the faces of these people clearly. After we finish drinking today, you can casually cut off the head of any one of them. That will be a great merit, enough for you to be conferred the title of marquis or general! "
This sentence sounded like a joke, but everyone knew that it was absolutely not a joke!
Everyone understood the meaning of this sentence!
Below the stage, the 400,000 soldiers were all in high spirits. Their eyes shone brightly as they looked at the famous generals of the various countries on the stage, desperately trying to memorize them.
Those who stood further away could not see clearly, so they begged desperately, "Brother, big brother, please let me stand in front of you … let me see …"
Big brother in front, please draw it … Your father didn't see it clearly. What if I have the chance to behead them but fail due to uncertainty? How much regret would I have in the future! "
"These are the most valuable heads … I beg big brother in front to draw their portraits …"
"Naked bodies leaping thirty feet into the air in a world of ice and snow, kneeling on a mountain of sabers to draw their portraits!"
"I'm not asking for too many of these heads … I'll be rich if I really chop off seventeen or eighteen of them …"
"Seventeen or eighteen? If your father can chop off one in this lifetime, our entire family won't have to worry for generations to come … "
"So f * cking valuable! Are these still heads? This is practically a golden path …"
"F * cking hell, the more I look at them, the more I feel that these heads are really handsome. For your father's future as a marquis and nobility, all of you will be sacrificed …"
…
What kind of feeling was it to have four hundred thousand soldiers staring at one's head and knowing very clearly that these four hundred thousand soldiers wanted to chop off one's head?
Han Sanhe and the others were not afraid, but they could not help but be caught between laughter and tears.
"Serve the wine!"
Tie Zheng howled.
Countless soldiers began to bustle about, moving pot after pot of wine onto the stage.
This wine was no longer a secret to many of Yutang's soldiers.
However, to the famous generals of various countries, their eyes lit up. When they saw the name on the pot of wine, their breathing grew heavier.
Blood of the Hero!
Was this the name of the wine?
When they looked at the line of words that followed, it made everyone's blood burn like a flame.
Loyal heart and blood to defend the country; loyal soul of steel to build the fortress!
These two sentences were applicable to Yutang's soldiers, but they were also applicable to all the soldiers in the world!
Loyal soul and blood were not limited to Yutang. For so many years, the blood that had been spilled all over Tianxuan Continent, covering every inch of land, regardless of friend or foe, was it not the Blood of the Hero?
They were all defending the country, they were all building the fortress!
Suddenly, their blood was boiling!
Bang, bang, bang …
The moment the mud seal was opened, the aroma of wine permeated the air.
The dark-red wine poured into the bowl. It was truly the color of fresh blood.
"The first goblet!" Tie Zheng said, "To Yutang, to His Majesty!"
On the stage far away, His Majesty did not expect to be involved. He stood up and said with a smile, "Today is a grand event for the militants. I am only here to observe the ceremony. There is no need for a toast."
Tie Zheng said, "Your Majesty has been kind to this humble official and the soldiers of my generation. How can I not offer this goblet? This official shall drink first as a sign of respect."
Behind him, the six old marshals of the five empires and hundreds of generals raised their goblets at the same time, toasting His Majesty from afar. They raised their goblets and downed the contents.
Words could not be spoken, but they were all in the wine.
His Majesty's heroic spirit rose, and he shouted, "Good!"
He then picked up the goblet and downed it in one gulp.
He knew why the soldiers were toasting him with the first goblet.
It was because he had done something that no other emperor could or dared to do when he was still on the throne.
He had gathered all the generals of the enemy forces in the nation's capital to sit together and drink to their hearts' content. Such magnanimity surpassed his predecessors and it was hard to find a successor.
This goblet of wine was toasted by all the generals of the continent. Although the gist of it was not stated, the meaning was clear.
Based on this alone, His Majesty was worthy of the title of the greatest emperor throughout the ages.
It was because he understood this that His Majesty drank this goblet of wine delightfully. It was glorious!
There was even a feeling in his heart that with this goblet of wine today, he could face the past emperors with his head held high even in death! He could face them with pride!
"The second goblet!" Tie Zheng was still facing them. "To the family of generals!"
All the generals raised their goblets in unison. "To the family of generals!"
Old Mistress Shangguan stood up shakily. Without a word, she picked up the goblet and downed it in one gulp.
Behind her, the six children were flushed and trembling. They did not drink but they looked like they were drunk.
"The third goblet!" Tie Zheng hollered, "To all the brothers of Yutang's military who are still alive!"
With a long howl, the three armies stood up at the same time and raised their goblets in salute!
There was a loud bang in the sky, and a communication rocket rose into the sky, crackling. Along with the sharp sound of breaking through the air, there seemed to be an explosion in the distance at the same time, spreading in all directions. One after another, the communication rockets got further and further away, but they were closely connected.
In the blink of an eye, they were already thousands of miles away.
A quarter of an hour later, Tie Zheng raised his goblet. "Brothers! Cheers to this goblet! "
Four hundred thousand warriors raised their goblets at the same time and gulped down the wine.
Yutang's soldiers stood up at the same time, raising their goblets and downing the contents in one gulp.
There were tears in their eyes but the blood in their chests was burning fiercely.
After a long time, the sound of rockets exploded in the camps of Yutang's borders. All the warriors stood up and raised their goblets.
"Marshal's wedding, let us brothers drink!"
The warriors from all sides drank their goblets in one gulp.
"The fourth goblet!" Tie Zheng's voice was intense as he hollered into the sky, "To Yutang's brothers who have fallen in battle! Tie Zheng, a toast to all of you! May your souls not be far away, do not forget Yutang in the afterlife. If there's a next life, let us fight together again! "
Amidst Tie Zheng's loud cry, all Yutang's soldiers stood up to salute once more, their faces solemn.
The fragrance of wine permeated the air, shooting straight into the sky.
In front of all the military graves, the soldiers who had been waiting solemnly poured the wine in their hands onto the ground.
"Brothers, drink!"
"This is our marshal's wedding wine, it's also our marshal's promise that day. This is also the wine that all of you should drink!"
A bowl of crimson hero's blood was placed in the homes of the families of the fallen warriors.
It was like the blood of the heroes, still flowing intensely.
Each family received a bowl of wine and a tael of silver.
It was not a lot of money but it was Tie Zheng's best effort.
This was a return gift to his brothers.
At the border, there was also the blood of the heroes that was slowly sprinkled onto the graves.
"Brothers, the wine is here!"
The crimson wine that resembled blood slowly seeped into the ground while the tears of the soldiers who stood solemnly dripped onto the soil.
"This is marshal's wedding wine, the wine that we've promised to drink to our hearts' content on marshal's wedding."
"The afterlife is not far away, the souls of the heroes are still here. Brothers, let us drink together."
"Heaven and earth, the world of mortals and the netherworld, our hearts are together, our blood flows together."
"Brothers, cheers!"
A gust of autumn wind whistled past. The grass on the graves of the fallen warriors danced in the wind, covering the mountains and plains. The trees bowed neatly, the grass that was a thousand miles of grassland bowed at the same time.
The emerald waves were like waves.
Yet, they were so neat.
It was like the tens of millions of souls who had died were still lined up neatly. After drinking this goblet of wine, they were about to mount their horses and wield their sabers, waiting for the command to charge forward bravely!
