Chapter 166
Smelling the faint smell of blood still lingering in the air, Bruce shook his head and stopped looking at the tragic scene on the beach.
The corpses of the German army were collected by their compatriots who have now become captives. Although the Amazons must have had fewer casualties than the original plot due to his appearance, they also suffered heavy casualties.
They had never been hurt by hot weapons, and they were brave and reckless. They tried to fight the Germans in close quarters. Needless to say, the dozens of corpses on the beach are the heavy price they paid.
At some point, a figure slowly approached and walked to his side. Looking back, Bruce met a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to talk.
It's just that there is a sad emotion in these eyes now, without the curiosity and peace when they first met.
"Thank you." Diana said in a low voice, feeling very depressed. In the past ten years of experience, she has fought many "battles" and learned the cruelty of war from many people. Really understand the meaning of it.
Bruce knew what her thanks were for, and also saw that this princess, who was still a "girl", was seeing a real life-and-death battle for the first time.
"You haven't experienced this before, have you, Diana?" Bruce said softly, looking at the blue sea.
The girl looked at his side face, turned her head wearily, and looked towards the sea like him, and murmured: "I have undergone the most rigorous training in Paradise Island and passed the cruelest exam. I am already a qualified fighter, but now I realize that the training seems to have just begun."
Bruce was silent for a moment when he heard this, and finally comforted her: "No one can become an excellent warrior without seeing blood. If you want to become a warrior, then this is the stage you have to go through. I am very sorry for the casualties of your people." Sorry, but they are defending their homeland, so it's all worth it, you don't have to be too sad, Diana, what you did today is good enough."
Diana heard this and looked at Bruce again.
"Thank you."
Another low thank you came, and Bruce turned his head to look, but saw the girl lowered her head and gently kicked away a small pebble on the beach.
"Diana, it's time for us to go back." A call sounded not far away, but it was the middle-aged Amazon female warrior who had a brief exchange with Bruce before. At this moment, her face was a little sullen, obviously still worried about the casualties of the tribe. feel sad and dissatisfied.
"Understood, Antiope." Diana raised her head and said to the female warrior, but then she looked at Bruce: "Come with me, we will arrange a place for you, and the Amazons will thank you for your help .”
Hearing this, Bruce shrugged and walked with Diana towards the large army of Amazons returning to the city. He has nowhere to go now, so he can only settle here first, and then make plans.
Walking up an ancient stone staircase connecting the beach and the high cliff, Bruce gradually saw the general appearance of the place where the Amazons lived.
This is a stone city built on the hills many years ago. The most striking thing is undoubtedly the tall statues of female warriors that can be seen everywhere. They hold a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, looking into the distance. It has the charm of ancient Roman warriors.
The castle is surrounded by lush vegetation, vines spread wantonly on the city gate and the wall, as if blending into one, and the white stone road is engraved with traces of time, giving Bruce a strong sense of ancient charm.
"Is the place where you live different from here? I think you are very curious about our place." Seeing Bruce's amazement, Diana finally couldn't hold back and asked Bruce.
She knew that Bruce came from the outside world, and she was also curious about the steel suit on his body that could fly in the air, but now it turned into two small boxes that could be held in her hands. She has lived in Paradise Island until now, Naturally, I don't know what the outside world looks like.
The appearance of Bruce gave her a chance to learn about the outside world. No matter how mature she is on weekdays, she is still a girl who has not yet grown up, and it is normal to be curious.
"This? The world we live in is naturally different from yours. Let me think about it."
Looking at Diana, who looked like a curious baby, Bruce frowned and thought about it. He didn't have the experience of living before 1919, but when he traveled to the main world of Marvel, the age was not much different, it was after 1920 .
"We don't use stones to build city walls, we use a kind of sand called cement to build buildings, do you still use oil for lighting? Well, we invented electricity"
Under Bruce's narration, the social outlook of the United States in the early 20s gradually took shape in Diana's mind. Although the picture she imagined was definitely different from the actual situation, the "magical" modern society was enough to amaze her.
"A vehicle that can move itself without being dragged by a cow or a horse? The 'electricity' that can make the night as bright as the day, and what you said, the one that can communicate across the ocean, the telegraph? Do you really live in such a world? Is it?"
Diana opened her mouth slightly, speaking in an unbelievable way, which was quite different from the stories her mother told her. In the impression she was instilled, the human beings in the outside world were greedy and aggressive, and they staged scenes of cannibalism every day. Drama, how could they create such a magical civilization?
"Of course, but it's been less than 100 years since we entered the industrial age. Hundreds of years ago, the outside world was not much different from yours here." Bruce touched the wind-eroded wall and said casually.
After thinking for a while, he added: "Of course, there is one difference. The human beings in the outside world have fought countless wars with their own race and foreign races almost thousands of years ago. Until now, the cloud of war is still hanging over the world. Everywhere in the world, you are much more peaceful here."
Diana's heart sank when she heard this. It seems that there is nothing wrong with what her mother said. It can continue to provoke wars for thousands of years. The human beings outside are really aggressive and greedy. Does this mean that "he" Are you still bewitching humans?
Seeing that Diana suddenly fell into deep thought, Bruce thought she was digesting what he told her, so he didn't continue talking. He just followed the Amazons into the city and looked at the strange scenery around him, feeling novel.
Not long after, the entire large army dispersed and flowed towards various areas of Stone City. Diana followed the Amazon queen and walked towards a palace-style building, while Bruce was led by a female warrior to move on. It looks like he is going to take him to the resettlement place.
"As long as you don't take me to live in a cave"
Bruce looked at the stone stairs leading to the high place, and joked in his heart.
