Faced with the bodies of the fallen soldiers of the Guard Brigade, Jin Zhong was silent and speechless.
He still held the incense burner used for prayers in his hand, but he never lit it.
It wasn't until his adjutant reminded him that he seemed to return from his contemplation and finally lifted his head.
Then, he put away the incense burner and said to the adjutant:
"Bury them."
"Contact Jinling City and inform the families of the fallen brothers."
"Tell them that the journey is long, and transporting the bodies is difficult. I've decided to bury them right here in Jinling New City."
"Also, notify all family members to come to Jinling New City for the funeral as soon as possible."
"I mean, everyone."
"Every single person?"
The adjutant looked at Jin Zhong with a bit of surprise, clearly guessing the deeper meaning behind this decision.
