269. Tragic hero
After the celebration, Tang Xiao immediately arranged the spaceship again and went to Caladan Planet in person. This time, he brought several transport ships to form a fleet and filled them with food and medicine.
He sent a communication to Grievous. The first time Grievous hung up directly. The second time, he still told Tang Xiao his current location.
Tang Xiao led the fleet to Caladan Planet, then arranged for manpower to secretly unload the delivered materials, and then flew the shuttle alone to where Grievous was.
The shuttle flew over the largest sea area on Caladan Planet, Genua Sea, and then came to a remote island far away from the mainland, Abesmi Island.
Arriving on the island, there are several wooden houses here, some fields and a simple aircraft behind them.
Inside, there was a large group of Caladanian children. Some of them were working in the fields, some were playing in front of the house, and some were practicing martial arts.
In addition, you can also see several Caladanian women also busy with their own affairs.
After Tang Xiao walked over, one of the Caladanian women came over, bowed to him, and said politely, "Are you Archangel of Death? My husband followed me yesterday I mentioned that you are coming. Please forgive us for not bringing out something too good to entertain you. Homeworld There is also some fresh Kannu fish. Please wait while I cook a pot of fish soup for you."
"No need, I'll just go find him. Everyone here is..." Tang Xiao looked around.
"Yes, this is Sheelal's home. His ten wives and thirty children are here. He brought us all here, worried about being framed by Huk." The Caladanian woman pointed to the sea cliff in front, "Sheelal has been praying to the water god there these days."
"What to pray for?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Pray to the water god to send the body of his true lover, Kummar, out of the deep sea so that she can return to her hometown." The woman's tone was a little complicated. She bowed to Tang Xiao again, and then returned to the house.
Tang Xiao walked towards the sea cliff, and sure enough, he saw a tall figure sitting on the edge of the cliff. The sea breeze was blowing his tattered cloak, but he was motionless, like an immortal monument.
Hearing the footsteps, Grievous did not look back, but said in a very vicissitudes of voice, "Why are you coming back? Now Caladan Planet has nothing. Not only that, we are also burdened with a fine of 10 million credit points, and Huk's shadow of death may return at any time."
"Caladanian shouldn't get such a result." Tang Xiao said.
"But this has already happened." Grievous said calmly.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
"Save my planet."
"Do you need my help?"
Grievous took a deep breath, looked at the gloomy sea in the distance, and said nonchalantly, "When I was 22 years old, I once had a dream. I dreamed that I was holding two swords and killed a powerful in the jungle of Kunbal. Mu Wu Wu beast. I thought this was the revelation given to me by Celestials, so I put on the witch hunting mask and went to Kumbal Jungle alone. I didn't know how to use a knife at the time, so I took this Cherka sniper rifle."
"After I entered the jungle, I saw a woman. She was holding two knives and moved quickly. Although the Mu Wu Wu beast was extremely strong, it could not even touch the corner of her clothes. In the end, she killed the Mu Wu Wu beast. It was then that I realized that it was not me that I was dreaming about, but her, Kummar."
"The elder wizard told us that our existence corresponds to the ancient Caladanian prophecy, a prophecy about the 'dream maker' and the 'dreamee'. The prophecy does not guide us on what we should do, but we know it very well... Huk."
"So for the next ten years, we fought side by side and killed countless Huk. More and more people gathered around us, so we led these people to continue to resist the invasion of Huk. I couldn't use a knife, so she kept teaching me how to fight with two swords. She couldn't use a gun, so whenever I had free time, I took her to hunt with this Chelka rifle."
"I don't want to get anything, I just want to save Caladanian. Since Huk enslaved us and massacred us, I led everyone to resist, that's all. Later, some people called us demigods. Although I felt that I was not worthy, I felt that they needed someone to lead them and give them direction, so I didn't say anything."
"However, as we killed more and more enemies, Huk paid more and more attention to us. Finally, once, Huk gathered more than 20,000 people to launch an assault. Kummar and I were separated in the battle. After I finally led the team to defeat Huk After the attack, I couldn't find her anywhere. I searched for a long time and finally found a mountain of Huk corpses and the remains of Caladanian soldiers. I am very sure that she was surrounded by Huk here and fought to the end..."
Speaking of this, Grievous's voice turned cold, "But I couldn't find her body because they were fighting at the time of low tide. After the high tide, many bodies were taken away by the ocean current... I want to see her, even if it's just a glimpse, I want to see her... I prayed countless times and came to this island, because depending on the direction of the ocean current, she might be washed over... but nothing..."
"When I raised my rifle, there was no one to cover my flanks. When I was formulating a battle plan, there was no one to take pictures of the map and say that your plan was as stupid as Mu Wu Wu beast. When I launched the attack, there was no one to tear apart the enemy's defense line for me." Grievous turned around and stared at Tang Xiao with lifeless eyes, "I have lost half of my life, and I can never get it back."
Tang Xiao didn't speak, he was just immersed in Grievous's extremely sad mood.
Grievous then turned back to the topic and said, "It was the last offensive I launched, which gave Galactic Republic an excuse to impose an embargo and fine on Caladan Planet. Caladan Planet is in a constant war. It is already devastated. In the past, we could rob Huk of supplies to replenish it, but now, no crops will grow on those fields shrouded in gunpowder for a long time, because we have no money and are burdened with a fine of 10 million."
He stood up and took off the rifle from his back. "Many people will starve to death because of this... Someone told me that if I could work for him, he would pay the fine for Caladan Planet. But the food problem still cannot be solved."
"I can help you with some of the food through black market channels, but transportation is still very difficult. Therefore, I plan to set up a security company and hire a group of Caladanian veterans so that they can earn money to support themselves. As for Yamrii, the Huk you call me, when the time is right, I will teach them a lesson." Tang Xiao said.
Grievous inserted the rifle in his hand into the ground next to him with a click, and said to Tang Xiao, "I will remember you, Archangel of Death."
