The Medallion novel Chapter 1357

After Lance's death, the West United Army lost their leader and their morale was greatly affected. Although Rocky had decided to let Sabina and Lucilla be the Commander in Chiefs of the West United Army, they were not as experienced as Lance. He himself could only stay for a few days in the army to deal with the aftermath, wait for the successful take-over of the two women, and recover the morale of the army. After that, he needed to leave and deal with his own business.

Besides, Rocky was still worried about Isis, the saddest and most affected person because of Lance's death. Although it was impossible for him to comfort her, he still cared about her. After all, she was his wife and Nigel's mother.

As the situation was growing tenser now, there was no way to hold a grand funeral for Lance. So, the only thing he could do was to cremate Lance's body and carefully put away the ashes. He would bury it on another day.

The next day, the drill ground in the West United Army's military camp was overcrowded. Except for the soldiers guarding at the front lines, the rest of the soldiers gathered there to see Lance's body off.

At least half of the soldiers came from the Crimson Dragon Group, including many officials and commanders. Their admiration for Lance was as high as the great mountains. The atmosphere in the whole training ground was profoundly serious and all the soldiers looked sad.

Isis, who was standing beside Marcia, had obviously been crying all night with her red eyes and depressed look. At first, Marcia didn't want Isis to come here at all. After all, it was an indescribable feeling to see one's father being cremated. Marcia knew this feeling deeply, but Isis insisted on seeing her father the last time.

On the stacked wooden frame in front of the training ground, Lance was wearing a white robe and was lying still inside. It looked like he was in deep sleep. His name was known in the entire Wild Spirit Land and he had achieved many accomplishments in war. But now he had departed from the world forever, which made people realize that life was fragile and temporary!

Standing alone in front of the wooden frame, Rocky looked at Lance's body in silence. Although his face was expressionless, there was still a flash of inadvertent sadness in his eyes. Except for the fact that Lance was his father-in-law, he also very much respected Lance as a general. Back in the Crimson Dragon Group, Lance had taken good care of him. He was one of the pillars of Rocky's foundation. He would not be like this today if it weren't for Lance.

Rocky knew that he was responsible for the death of Lance. If he hadn't killed Woods and made Alyssa betray them, Lance might not have been ambushed and died in the battlefield.

But things had already happened, and there was no point in wallowing in regret!

Then, a commander with a torch in his hand walked to the side of Rocky and handed the torch to him.

After Rocky took it, his eyes narrowed slightly, but his face didn't change. He slowly walked forward to light the wooden frame under Lance's body. In an instant, the fire rose to the sky. The flames instantly surrounded and devoured Lance's body.

"Father..." Isis couldn't help but to cry again when she saw the sparks on Lance's body. She was overwhelmed with pain and tears immediately fell on her face. She couldn't stand still and leaned against Marcia for support. She really suffered a terrible blow.
