Chapter 11: People Are Fighting Sean is sleeping
Paynes looked at the soldiers in front of him, and his heart was complicated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Most of the people here are not seasoned veterans. They are more often referred to as "guards". Young, inexperienced in combat, okay to deal with bandits, ........ face those green-skinned beasts. But they were worthy of the honor of the Azeroth soldiers, their hands trembling with fear clenching their weapons, but they did not hesitate to fight the evil, bloodthirsty beasts. Azeroth is proud of them!
"Captain Paynes, everyone's assembled, how are you here?" Cathon arrived.
"Except for the guards at the city walls, the rest is here. Including the militia, we have a total of 430 people. There are also 32 pastors of the church. You're just in time, and I hope you'll ---- encourage them, you know, most of them are recruits. Experienced veterans have just sacrificed a lot. ”
"Of course, Captain, and over there. Cathhorne gestured to the crowd in the distance. "There are retired soldiers and miners there who are willing to take on some combat missions, and I propose to integrate them into the militia. Take on the escort mission, can you send some people over, and give them some weapons by the way. ”
"Of course, Your Excellency!" Paynes turned. "Captain Aldin!"
"Yes, sir!" said the militia captain, a middle-aged man in his mid-40s, who looked more like a farmer.
"Except for the militia who just joined the battle, you take all the remaining militia over there, there are some retired soldiers and miners, they will be incorporated into your militia team, and your task is to escort civilians along the foot of the mountain to Stormwind!"
"But ........" Paynes interrupted him.
"I know what you're trying to say, Aldin. But you see, our mission is just as important, we just talked about it, we don't know exactly how many orcs are in the Elwyn Forest, if only a few orcs are attacking here, those civilians can't reach Stormwind!
"I see, sir, in the name of the Light, I will come in as far as I can to keep them safe, even if there are orcs waiting for us ahead!" Aldin knocked on his chest and rallied the militia towards the crowd.
"Your Excellency, Bishop. ”
"Yes, Captain. Corthorne took a few steps forward and took up in front of all the soldiers.
"I'm Cardhorne, Bishop of Northshire Abbey!Servant of the Light!" Cardhorne paused. "I don't want to deceive you! We're in a terrible situation! The orcs may have invaded the Elwyn Forest in full! We may not be able to resist for long!"
"Behind us are our relatives, our friends, our lovers. We can't wait for them to be ready to attack! Captain Paynes and I have decided to break out! And we're going to attack the orc camp to buy time for the others to break through!"
"I know that many of you have not fought in real combat. But the orcs, those evil, bloodthirsty green-skinned monsters! they have invaded our land! Just three years ago, the smoke of gunfire filled the land and the sky, and the orcs wreaked havoc on our homeland, slaughtering our loved ones. But we defeated them, we drove them out of our land!"
"But they are clearly not willing to fail! They have invaded our homeland once again! They are servants of the devil without any mercy! They will destroy everything that stands in their way!"
"And we will fight to the death to protect our homes and friends!"
"Today, if we die in battle, if we die in this land we love, we will die in glory!"
"Today, if we die in battle, it will be to defend our homeland, our children, our parents, our lovers!"
"In the name of the Light, I will fight alongside you until the last moment of my life!"
"For the Light!" shouted the priests.
"For Azeroth!" shouted the soldiers.
"Captain Paynes, the battle will be left to you, and the priests and I will follow your command. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, the priest only needs to follow closely behind the soldiers' shield and treat the wounded soldiers in time! Paynes stroked his chest and turned to arrange the rest of the battle.
The crowd in the distance heard the shouting, and the irritable heart inexplicably calmed down. Under the command of the militia, they marched in an orderly manner towards the mouth of the valley.
"Lysa, I have something to tell you!" Cathon had some important things to tell her.
"Yes Mentor, but I want to leave the child in the care of Mrs. Baker first!" Lysa came out of the priesthood with the child in her arms, she looked out of place here with a child in her arms, and the soldiers looked at him in a strange way.
"No, Lysa, it's about the kid. Cathorne looked at the child, perhaps awakened by the cheering shouts of the people just now, and he was looking around in a bit of confusion. "This child is very important to the Church, and I hope you will take the child with the civilian team and teach the child to His Excellency the Archbishop of Stormwind. “
"But, Mentor, I want to fight with you, not be a babysitter! the Light won't allow me to do that!" Lysa was a little excited.
"The Light has not taught us that we must fight, my child. What you are doing now is what the Light wants! You know, that child absorbed the Light that I had released on him. In the absence of anyone to guide you. You may not understand what this means, but it means that he was born with an unparalleled affinity for the Light, just as the elves are to magic. He will be more easily received by the Light than we are. He must be taught by the Light. "Cathon spoke with Archbishop Alonthos Fao of Lordaeron, and he knew something secret, and although the reason is unknown, people who are sensitive to the Light are often as sensitive to the darkness. It would be unimaginable for this child to go down the dark path. He had to lead this child to the light.
"Soak up the Light?!" Lysa was dumbfounded, how could it be! All who knew the Light knew that only those who were strong in faith could summon the Light and use them. And a baby, where does faith begin?! Without guidance, the Light will dissipate as soon as the wound heals. She had never heard of anyone who could absorb the Light unguided.
"I think I understand the Mentor!, but I still insist on staying!" Lysa knew that the child was important to the Church, but she had her own beliefs, which were the source of her mastery of the Light. "Mrs. Baker is a devout believer, she can take care of this child! I must stand up for my faith!
"And Claire, is it Lysa!" Alonsos sighed, "this letter, you give him to Mrs. Baker and let her pass it on to the Archbishop." Cathon was a little helpless, he didn't have time to convince the stubborn girl. A devout believer should be able to believe. He took out the letter he had prepared and handed it to Lysa.
Although the Church of Light does not prohibit marriage, pastors are generally single. They believe that they dedicate their bodies and minds to the Light. The mentor's words made Lysa panic slightly, but she quickly calmed down. They may not have had a chance to talk about it anymore, and she at least wants to be with Claire when she returns to the embrace of the Light.
