Deciduous City, the Temple.

The Holy Spirit Priest Milan, who was kneeling in the center of the temple and praying, suddenly opened her eyes, and a dazzling brilliance appeared in her eyes, and she stood up in an instant, and said with an excited expression: "Prepare for the believers to transfer!" Our Lord is almost here! ”

"Arrange the temple guards immediately, and we will move the most devout believers to a safe place first, my lord has already led a large army to arrive here."

The temple was amazed!

However, immediately after the priest gave the order, the last remaining guards of the temple also moved quickly, arranging for people to prepare to move here.

"I want to arrange the most devout believers to go!"

Holy Spirit Priest Milan stood up and said with a stern expression: "These people are the easiest to arrange, and they are willing to follow our orders. As for the others, we'll wait until the first batch is sent away. ”

It's just a few days.

This little girl, who is only a teenager, has matured a lot, although she still looks immature, but she is a lot more sophisticated.

As the church's only Holy Spirit pastor, she has learned so much during this time!

"Yes!" The temple guard answered.

Soon.

There was a chaotic sound outside, and many people were hesitant to leave now. However, there were still many devout believers who were ready to leave together, because the siege of Fallen Leaf City had frightened them, and the majesty of the dragon had made the imprint of the gods in their hearts. In the priest's mouth, their new god is a powerful god who can drive dragons, and as long as they leave here, the gods can provide them with safety.

In the crowd, a pale mother hugged her child tightly.

Although the crisis in Fallen Leaf City was temporarily resolved, the food was still not very sufficient, and her delicate face was a little panicked, and she held the baby in her arms tightly with both hands, slowly moving with the crowd.

Then.

A man dressed as a militiaman walked over. quickly walked to her side and said hurriedly: "Sister? Are you really going to leave with them? The general said that there will be reinforcements from the elves soon, and we will be able to repel those orcs! ”

The beautiful woman turned her head to look at him, a trace of tears appeared in the corner of her eye, and murmured, "How long?" ”

"Even if you can fight off the orcs? How long does it take? ”

"How much more blood will be shed? We're out of food anymore! I'm afraid my child and I won't make it to that time! ”

"I'm not afraid of death."

"But I want him to live!"

The young mother looked at the wide-eyed baby in her arms, her fingers scarred, and she fed her baby in her arms with blood at a time when food was at its worst. The little baby was very bold, and when he saw so many people in such a flustered situation, he still didn't cry, but just stared at Yi Qiē with wide eyes. It was as if he could feel something. The young mother's gaze fell on the baby, and she shook her head with a determined expression and whispered, "I'm sorry! ”

"I'm going to take him to a safe place and slowly raise him."

"There's no hope of staying here."

"Even if I defeat the orc, I won't be able to take him through this fall."

The militia next to him fell silent.

A hint of hesitation appeared on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "That's good." I'm leaving with you. I can't let you go that far alone with your children. ”

After speaking, the young half-elf in front of him looked at the city wall in the distance, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

He was a brave warrior.

If he could, he definitely wouldn't want to leave his homeland. But now he had to face a dilemma. One is to stay here to protect their homeland and eventually find a way to defeat the invading orcs, and the other is to protect my sister and go overseas together, waiting for him to regain his homeland one day. On one side is the hometown. On one side was the only surviving relative, and in the end he chose the latter.

………………

Hurried footsteps rang out.

A small figure rushed into the temple and shouted at the priests present, "Battleship! ”

"A lot of warships!"

"On the other side of the Agate! It's full of battleships! We are saved! ”

Scout.

In this case, only the scouts will leave Fallen Leaf City, and the young man who seems to have more elven blood has an excited expression. Hurriedly: "Army! Our lord's army has arrived! ”

Half-elves and the god of wanderers.

The remaining strength of the Church was not only the priests, but also many half-elf wanderers, shortly after the oracle was delivered. The church sent out a lot of itinerants.

With a smile on his face, the Holy Spirit Priest Milan knelt on the ground and prayed, then stood up and said, "Go now!" ”

"Everyone pack up and escort the believers away!"

That's when it happened.

The voice of a middle-aged priest sounded, who looked more like a nobleman than a priest, and said in a deep voice, "Just leave like this?" There is an army of orcs hovering nearby! What if you run into them on the road? We won't last long! ”

Pastor Fina looked at him with a frown, and said in a deep voice, "My lord will naturally accept us. ”

"Let's go!"

At this time.

It was already getting close to afternoon, and after a busy day, thousands of believers gathered in the church, all of whom were the most devout members of the church, and they did not hesitate to leave together after the oracle was delivered.

The south gate of Fallen Leaf City opens.

The first to come out were the temple guards, then a part of the militia, then a huge crowd of civilians, and then the priest in charge of the back of the temple.

on the city walls.

A richly dressed nobleman silently watched the crowd depart, his gaze cold all the way to the figure of the Holy Spirit Priest Milan.

"Your Excellency."

A middle-aged man who looked like an officer came to his side and said in a deep voice, "Just let them go?" If they leave, the hearts of the people in the city will be scattered. ”

"I'm afraid our situation will be even more difficult in the future!"

The richly dressed nobleman turned to look at him and said with a cold expression, "I know. Withdraw the people on the front line, they will not be able to reach the Onyx River before dark, and once they leave here, they will be exposed to the sight of the orc army. ”

At this, his expression turned cold.

Yes.

Most of the believers were old and weak, women and children, or ordinary civilians, and these people were quite slow to travel, and it was absolutely impossible for them to arrive before dark after twenty or thirty kilometers. And if they were found out of sight by the orc army, then the final result would hardly be a matter of thinking about how a group of civilians could possibly confront a powerful orc army in the wild.

The middle-aged officer's face suddenly became ugly, and after understanding the reason why the nobles in front of him let them go, he couldn't help but feel a trace of unbearability in his heart.

Unless someone on the road to the past is quickly answered, the final result of these people is probably miserable!

As long as it is overtaken, it is a massacre.

And if these people are slaughtered by the orc army, it is absolutely impossible for the civilians in Fallen Leaf City to have the idea of leaving, which is also a serious blow to the prestige of the church, in which case the noble council will have absolute control.

It was getting dark.

The priests had urged the crowd to hurry up as much as they could, but it was impossible for so many old and weak women and children to go very fast. There were many orphans of warriors in the crowd, and the women who had held their children had not had a full meal for a long time, and were now exhausted from walking. Now that it was dark, they had only walked about half the distance, and if the orc scouts spotted them, they would most likely be overtaken by the enemy.

"It's too slow to go on like this!"

The old bishop glanced at the bloated and slow procession and muttered, "I'm afraid the orcs have discovered us." ”

"Prepare the temple guards for battle!"

"The militia stays to protect the believers, and the others are ready to fight with me!"

Half a day has passed.

It is almost impossible for this huge contingent not to be detected, and if it does, it is estimated that it will not be long before an enemy army appears.

The old man bowed his head and prayed a few words, and said slowly: "Now I can only hope that my lord's reinforcements can come and respond!" ”

"Otherwise."

"We may not be able to hold on to the Onyx."

………………

Woooooo

The desolate trumpet sounded.

The crowd suddenly let out a panicked cry, and countless people looked into the distance with frightened expressions, and in the distance the figure of the orcs appeared, although the night affected their vision, they could still see the enemy rapidly approaching.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"The temple guards come with me! Others left with civilians! ”

The old man in bishop's costume pulled out the long sword at his waist, he clenched a stainless steel shield, and his seemingly old body rushed to the back at a rapid pace, shouting at the same time: "Don't mess around! Go in the direction of the Onyx River! There are reinforcements from our lord ahead! ”

"Priest stays!"

"Servants of the Church! Warriors of the Temple! We can't abandon believers! ……”

"All those who can fight follow me to stop the enemy from approaching!"

"This is the last darkness before dawn! …… Our lord's army is coming! …… For the glory of our Lord! ……”

"Prepare for battle!"

………………

Whew!

A desolate wolf howl rang out.

With the dull sound of war drums echoing, dozens of half-orc cavalry riding huge wolves rushed out from the flank of the orc army, raising these ferocious beasts was more difficult than feeding a heavy cavalry, even with the strength of the whole orc clan only trained a squad, and now this wolf cavalry squad bypassed from the side and accelerated towards the retreating civilians.

The warriors of the orcs have appeared in front of them.

In the face of the wolf cavalry getting closer and closer to the crowd, the temple guards who stayed behind were unable to support at all.

The distance is getting closer!

The shadow of death loomed over everyone, and once the wolf cavalry burst into the crowd, it was nothing short of a massacre!!
