Chapter 155: Lordaeron Refugees
In exchange for supplies, Vanessa prepared a large number of urgently needed supplies for the Scarlet Abbey, from swords to food, from clothes to artillery, everything she wanted, and that was the civilians of Lordaeron taken in by the other party.
It's been a long time since they've received supplies from the Scarlet Crusader Headquarters, and the Scarlet Monastery knows that the identity of the person who came is unknown, but they still attach great importance to this transaction, they don't care who the transaction partner is, as long as it's still a human and not an undead, it doesn't matter if it's a native of Lordaeron or not.
Vanessa had barely stepped off the ship when a burly young officer with brown hair strode over.
The other man's right hand clenched into a fist across his chest: "Welcome to the Scarlet Crusade, honorable lady." ”
The werewolf who facilitated the deal whispered a few words to her.
Vanessa squeezed a smile out of her mouth, and she trembled when she heard this famous filial son of Azeroth call herself 'lady', but fortunately, her acting skills were online, and she covered it up with a smile.
"I'm Renault. Mograini. ”
"Hope. Vanessa. Struid. ”
The meeting between the two was very simple, and it was possible to see that the man named Renaud. Mograine's Scarlet Commander was in a hurry, and after a brief welcome ceremony, he had to negotiate a deal with her.
"Please follow me."
Vanessa led the other into her cargo hold. Originally, he wanted to bring it back to the Western Wilderness to deal with it, but now that the Scarlet Monastery is in urgent need of supplies, it is just right to use the weapons and equipment looted in Liberty Town to trade a wave.
She couldn't use it herself, but it was good equipment for the Scarlet Crusaders.
"Lordaeron's shore guns, I have a total of thirty here, and 1,500 shells of the same specification."
"Five hundred swords, thirty muskets, one hundred leather armor, three hundred leather boots, and some food here...... Before the transaction, she had asked her subordinates to clean these weapons, and although some traces of use could still be seen, they were much better than when they were first confiscated.
Renault. Mograini stroked the muzzle of the cannon, he could see that none of these cannons were new, but it didn't matter, the old cannon had the benefits of the old cannon, it was safe, efficient, and it could be used when you took it.
The pirates' weapons are also good, although they are a little messy, but their Scarlet Crusaders are not regular troops, everyone has any weapons, and the sword can be fired to arm hundreds of people at once.
"Very nice, distinguished lady! The Light will bless you! "He wants this batch of supplies, he wants it so much.
The Scarlet Crusaders are a group of fanatical religious warriors with little or no production capacity, no iron mines, no workers, and a very fast attrition of weapons in the face of a large number of undead legions, which can at least help them stabilize the current situation.
"And the civilians I want?" Vanessa asked in a low voice.
The Scarlet Commander was a little reluctant, but nodded to her, and the two of them walked out of the cargo hold quickly.
Lordaeron was once the largest kingdom of mankind, with a population of more than 300,000 in the royal capital, and the Tirisfar, the hinterland of the kingdom, was dotted with villages and towns of all sizes, and the combined population of these areas easily exceeded one million.
It's a pity that with the ravages of the undead natural disaster, the most prosperous and powerful human kingdom has disappeared, and there is not a single human being hiding in the cracks, and even so, there should be about 10,000 human civilians still left in this land.
As the only human resistance group in the Tirisfard glades, Vanessa estimated that the Scarlet Monastery must have taken in many survivors, and she wanted to pull them all south.
After a short wait, she saw the goods of this transaction, the three thousand civilians personally escorted by the warriors of the Scarlet Crusaders, the high-ranking warrior Herold.
Vanessa said before that there were no restrictions on the elderly, children, men and women, and the Scarlet Crusaders didn't want to give her all the men in their prime, but the problem was that those who could escape the pursuit of the undead were basically young and middle-aged, and it was difficult to find a few old people to come out.
Picking and choosing, I found a large number of young men who were not suitable for being warriors and sent them to her, half men and half women, these people were dressed in tatters, and their mental state was not very good.
Despite knowing that the undead plague was rapidly receding, she asked, "I'm not worried about the rest of the place, but Lordaeron...... These people can't get the plague, do they? My fleet will sail south for a long time, and if the plague is brought south......"
The two-meter-tall warrior Herod was extremely dissatisfied, and the strong man, who was still shirtless in the November weather in the north, shouted: "We are all believers in the Holy Light!" I promise you, we won't have an undead here, not a single one! ”
Scarlet Commander Reynolds. Mograine saw that Vanessa didn't answer at all, so he could only glance at his subordinates, and the next moment he saw more than thirty priests and paladins walking out of the ranks, and they sprinkled pieces of holy light on the people.
The undead will certainly not receive the Light, and if someone here is infected with the plague, it will be discovered immediately.
This wave of holy light purification lasted for half an hour, Vanessa looked at everyone and was very satisfied, these people were fine, at least physically.
"Alright, very good, Your Excellency Commander and this Scarlet Warrior, arrange for your men to unload the cargo, may the Holy Light bless you."
"Good!"
A day later, Vanessa's fleet set sail again with more than 3,000 Lordaeron civilians, sparing most of the Tirisfard glades, and then heading south, replenishing supplies at Liberty Town on the way, leaving the waters of Kurtiras and heading for the Wild West.
......
"Where do you think you're pulling us to?"
"I heard that it was going to the Stormwind Kingdom in the south......"
"Will we ever be able to return to Lordaeron in this life?"
"Who knows, it's luck to be alive until now."
"I miss my farmland, we used to curse the lords in the fields this month, now I think about the damned lords, most of them are dead......"
"Yes, I heard that the kings of Lordaeron are dead, and countless people have died, alas......"
Ordinary civilians have no God's perspective, and there are no news channels for the big people, and the information they obtain is extremely scattered, and they don't know what is going on outside, so they can only blindly follow the crowd, running from east to west, from south to north, and now they are sent to the big ship in a daze, only knowing that they are going to the southernmost part of the mainland.
The civilians were helpless, but fortunately the food was always delivered on time, and in this day and age, a bite to eat is better than anything else.
A one-armed middle-aged man sat in the cargo hold and sighed, while his wife took care of the child beside him.
The two used to have their own farmland, and the middle-aged people would build some farm tools to supplement the family when the farm was not working, and the living conditions were more than enough, but now they are all ruined.
"I don't know when this kind of life will end......" the wife hugged the child, looking numb and full of fear for the future.
