"Thanks... Thank you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" the recruit said with some nervousness.

"My lord, did you really come back from there?" The recruit pointed in the direction of the east, and he asked with some surprise, "Are there any people alive there?" Is it really full of undead there? How's our battle going over there? ”

Locke smiled, and he pointed to the verdant leaves on both sides of the road and said, "Life is everywhere, just like the land we stand on, even though it is cursed, life is still strong and survives on this land." ”

"As far as I know, there are a lot of surviving civilians in the Hearthside Valley over there! As for the war situation," Locke said with a smile, "everything is going on the bright side, don't worry." In the future, this will still be our land in Lordaeron! ”

"Well said! Commander Harvey! Welcome to the outer defenses of Fireplace Valley! "Captain Curral has arrived here at some point.

"I'm Captain Curral, their head! Sorry Commander, they didn't see you, so they had to keep you outside. ”

Captain Curral said apologetically, but he didn't mean to let the soldiers move away from the barricade in front of him.

"I understand that this kind of precaution is very necessary in such a dangerous area! I'm in favor. Locke nodded.

"So, can you show me your appointment papers?" Captain Curral smiled, "You know, though I've seen your influence. But there are almost 200,000 people in the Hearthh Valley behind me, and if there is a slight margin, then it will be another catastrophe. And we don't know what dirty spells those monster mages will use to blind us, so..."

Captain Curral didn't go any further, he clearly meant that he wanted to verify Locke's identity.

"It's okay, where the responsibility is, I'm very much in favor of it!"

Locke spoke, pulling out the appointment paperwork from his magic bag. However, his heart is somewhat uncomfortable, and now he has climbed to this position, and he can't brush his face yet.

Captain Curral carefully examined the documents, and the current crusader appointment documents have the mark of the mage, which can save the head of the person who has the certificate, which is also for anti-counterfeiting, and there is also an anti-counterfeiting password.

"What's your password?"

"Recover Lordaeron!"

"Your responsibility?"

"To be alive is to hope!"

The seemingly nonsensical dialogue between the two is a set of secret conversations, which is also a means of preventing being impersonated. This set of methods was proposed by Locke, and whether the effect is good depends on the actual results of implementation, but judging from the feedback from all over the Crusaders, the results are not bad.

Captain Curral snapped Locke's appointment paperwork and handed it to Locke with a solemn salute. "Welcome Deputy Commander Harvey to Hearthvale, what are your instructions?"

Locke smiled back.

The soldiers on guard in the line relaxed their vigilance slightly, and under the command of the other officers, the soldiers pushed the barricades, and Locke finally walked in.

Once inside, Locke couldn't wait to ask, "Captain Curral, please provide me with a horse, I'm going to Hearthvale." ”

"Oh! That's right! Is the Demitian prosecutor here? Locke asked Captain Curral.

This time after Tyran and Grand Commander Dassault Khan, as well as Grand General Abidis both left Hearthvale. The de facto leadership of the Valley of the Hearth was given to the high-ranking procurator Demytia.

The impression of Demitian Yalok about her is still from the previous world, one of the four beauties of the Scarlet Crusaders. The last time he attended the meeting, Locke had seen this mysterious sage by the side of the Grand Commander, but because of his status at that time, Locke did not establish an actual personal relationship with her.

Now Locke has gradually learned about Demytia's abilities, and the reason why she has the reputation of being a sage in the crusaders is because she was born with a powerful ability.

Locke had told Locke the other day that Demethia had an ability to foresee danger. It is precisely because of this ability that the Crusaders were able to safely deal with the undead who were far more numerous than the Crusaders here, and continued to achieve victory.

And she's a healing pastor herself.

So after everyone else left, this place was temporarily handed over to this high-ranking prosecutor to manage. To take Davey's holy deed, he must inform the prosecutor, and by the way, establish a relationship with her, which is also something that Locke is happy to see.

"Prosecutor Demytia is working at the town hall in Hearthvale, and if Deputy Commander Harvey goes now, I'm afraid she's no longer there."

Captain Curral said truthfully, although he didn't like paladins, but the other party's rank was much higher than him. For Captain Curral, who regards obedience to orders as his vocation, since Locke's identity is real, then do what a subordinate should do.

So when all the requirements were met, Locke rode his horse and left the defensive line. Captain Curral could only sigh as he looked at Locke's distant back.

"Sir, if you are a nobleman, you must be better than him!" Sergeant Nina, who was on the side, may have heard Captain Curral's sigh, and she said comfortingly.

"Perhaps," said Captain Curral, shaking his head, he was almost 40 years old now, and he would still be a lieutenant if it weren't for the plague. In peacetime, it was too difficult to move up the ranks.

And these paladins have the title of knight as long as they join the Knights of the Silver Hand, which makes these officers in the army very unbalanced, and they want to be promoted far faster than ordinary officers!

"Nina, stop flattering me." Captain Curral smiled wryly, "I can't have climbed to such a high position at this age. ”

"Also, don't come out and praise me just because we're your brother-in-law!" Captain Curral sighed, and he turned to look at Nina, "Your sister didn't want you to go down this path in the first place!" ”

"Nope! I joined the Crusaders to avenge my family! My rank was also earned by killing the enemy myself, and it has nothing to do with you! The sergeant said with an annoyed expression.

"That's it! I'm down sir! Sergeant Nina saluted and turned away.

Captain Curral shook his head, looked at Locke in the distance with some sadness, and said to himself, "Lordaeron, how powerful you used to be. And now it has fallen into the way it is today! Right now! A woman can become a sergeant! Even such a child, who had only been an adult for a few days, became my commander! Alas! ”

Rokkon rode wildly, being held back by the Crusader lines along the way. Eventually, he had to get the captain of one of the lines to follow him to the Hearthvale, so that things got better.

When night fell completely, Locke finally arrived in the Valley of the Hearth.

The Valley of the Hearth is second only to Andorhar in the western region of Lordaeron, and it was originally the domain of the first Paladin High Lord Tirio Fortin, who was later judged by the kingdom for saving an orc, just like Locke. However, Tirio was more miserable, losing the territory and being expelled from his homeland.

It was now inherited by his son Tyran, and became the only stronghold of the Crusaders here.

The situation here is the same as that of Gadar, which is overcrowding. Most of the people of this land are concentrated here.

Narrow streets, crowded crowds, scenes of sewage flying, and a constant stream of mentally numb refugees abound on both sides of the road.

Perhaps thinking that the environment was different, Locke could not see other expressions on the faces of these people. Perhaps the pressure of survival has crushed all their thoughts.

Due to its geographical location, the city of Firehand Valley has a limited number of people to resettle. In this city surrounded by mountains, the trees on the surrounding hills have been cut down and built into houses that are even halfway up the mountain.

Economically, there aren't too many mines and enough jobs, which is why there are so many refugees on both sides of the street.

Compared to the Iva under his control, it's a paradise!

"Good sir! Give me something to eat! ”

"Mix it up! Dirty guys!! ”

Locke frowned, obviously the rich people here are not friendly enough to ordinary people, if this is in Eva, I am afraid that they will be repaired by themselves.

However, Locke didn't mean to check his hands, after all, this is not his control area, and there are too many injustices in the world, so he really can't manage it....

Bidding farewell to the captain who had sent him, Locke was led by the patrolling soldiers to the town hall in Hearthvale.

"You said that the Demytian prosecutor has gone back to rest?" Locke asked the guards standing guard outside the town hall with a frown. "Corporal, please take me to her, I have a very urgent matter to deal with!"

"I'm sorry, Deputy Commander Harvey!" The soldier saluted and said, "As you can see, I am still on duty here, and I can't take you there personally." Go to the patrols and they'll take you there. ”

Locke nodded a little unhappily and left, and sure enough, he was treated the same as in the defensive line. As a privileged class, it has not been treated like this for a long time.

"Sir, I suggest you find a place to rest first." The patrolling lieutenant looked embarrassed and said to Locke, "Prosecutor Demytea has gone back to rest, and she told everyone not to disturb her when she is not working. ”

"Unless it's a very urgent military situation."

Locke waved his hand helplessly, and the second lieutenant saluted and left the place with the eyes of a group of surprised soldiers.

"This officer is so young!"

"He's the deputy commander of our crusaders! A powerful paladin! It's better to be polite when you speak! These knights have a somewhat eccentric temper, and if you encounter an old-fashioned one, you will go back and apologize! ”

Locke shrugged his shoulders, it seemed that he really wasn't well known within the Crusaders.

"Still, this great sage Demythia is really eccentric! There are even such rules! ”

Locke shook his head, forget it, go find an inn and stay overnight. Really, he didn't even arrange a place to stay, and Tyran was stingy enough.
