"The recruits who were able to be recruited were basically called up."

At the base camp of the Ashen Inquisitor, Herold followed behind Ares, and introduced the recruitment situation in the last two weeks with a serious expression. Obviously, due to the madness of the Scarlet Crusaders, many innocent civilians were forced to join the Scarlet Crusaders and join the expedition to Northrend, and those who did not want to join were brutally slaughtered by the Scarlet Crusaders. The humans living in Lordaeron have basically gone through round after round of looting. There are not many people who have survived.

"Farmers, fishermen, refugees. No, these are not soldiers. ”

Walking through the training ground, Ares sighed. The heat exhaled from between the lips and quickly turned into a white mist. Even with a thick layer of fur and cotton wool on his body, he still felt cold. Lordaeron is located in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom, and the climate here is not like Stormwind in the south, which is like spring all year round.

"However, there is no one else. There are also civilians who are reluctant to join. You know, Lord Lord, we are not Scarlet Crusaders, and we cannot force anyone into a dangerous battle. ”

Herold reluctantly returned.

"No one else? No way? As far as I know, there are some people you don't mobilize at all. ”

Ares asked, his eyes full of questioning, but not a hint of reproach.

"Anyone else? That's impossible...... From the Dassolil River to the Chapel of the Light's Wish, we mobilized from village to village, as well as the refugees in the base, and unless there were people outside of the Plaguelands, there was no one left in the area. ”

"I'm not talking about geography, I'm talking about people. Why weren't those people drafted, mobilized? ”

Ares said, pointing to a few men who were idle in the tent not far away.

"They? No way. They are a bunch of ruffians, these people have no glory at all, they will not obey orders on the battlefield. ”

Herold was puzzled and confused by Ares' request.

"But right now, only they can barely be considered recruits. These peasants, who have never held a weapon in their lives, do you expect them to be able to wield their swords and slay the undead when they go to the battlefield? ”

Ares asked rhetorically. Paladins should focus on glory, but now, Ares knows that he is not only a paladin, but also the leader of a military organization, and the victory of a battle is related to the lives of thousands of civilians, and he must use various methods to win the battle.

"Brother, I'm not saying that peasants can't do it, they are honest, simple, kind, which are the greatest qualities of man. Moreover, after a period of training and many times in real combat, they can quite well become qualified, excellent fighters. But, at the moment, we don't have that much time to train them. There are also not so many actual battles to hone them. Lordaeron is not the Kingdom of Stormwind, where the undead are rampant, dangers lurk, and every battle will cost people's lives. These peasants, without formal military training, will only die miserably when they arrive on the battlefield. ”

Seeing Herod's frowning, incomprehensible expression. Ares continued.

"Then I'll recruit ......"

Herold returned.

"Also, these recruits don't go to war. The target of this attack was Stratholme, not your average target, the city of the dead burned with an unquenchable flame, and the number of undead entrenched in it was even greater than the entire forces of the Scarlet Crusaders and Silver Dawn combined. In this battle, recruits participate, and they will only die and become soldiers of the Scourge. ”

Ares said worriedly. He remembered once again that he had just arrived in Azeroth, starting with Stratholme. On that occasion, Da Sohan ordered the Scarlet Crusaders to attack the city of the dead, only to suffer a great defeat. The living were treated as undead when they returned...... Fortunately, Da Sohan hadn't done that much at that time, and if it were now, these people would have been arrested and killed, just for the crime that they might have been infected with the plague of natural disasters......

"Another batch of recruits?"

After dealing with the replenishment of recruits, Drumm walked over from the side.

"Not counting new recruits, it takes at least three months to half a year of training and has been on the battlefield before you can be considered a soldier in the true sense."

"You should keep an eye on that person."

Drumm said, his eyes fixed on the Brotherhood of Light warrior not far away. Obviously, he didn't care who Ares recruited, only the safety of his good friend. Like Gianna, Drumm realizes that there may be something wrong with the new warrior named Younis.

"A real warrior, his body, face, should be scarred, just like you and me, our bodies have long been without a complete piece of skin. But you look at him, there is not a trace of scars on his face, and the muscles of his arms are strong, but there is also no scars. A fighter, who has been fighting on the front line for a long time, cannot be without a single injury. Secondly, you notice that his fingers are not very long, and in my experience, only a good assassin has such a flexible hand. The Assassin had to be adept at using a variety of weapons, including hidden weapons. ”

He continued.

"I know, this man, my woman reminded me too. That day, he appeared strangely at the door of my room. But for now, I can only pretend not to know. Brother, you help me keep an eye on him. If he really was an assassin. I'm going to find out who is behind him. ”

Putting his arm on Drum's shoulder, Ares whispered. Their eyes never took their eyes off Eunice.

The Brotherhood of Light, the organization facing the most danger in the entire continent of Lordaeron. It must face the blows of the scourge and the undead, and at the same time be on the lookout for the shadowy people, the fanatics of the Scarlet Crusade.

"The people behind him, do you need to talk about it? You and I know that. ”

Drumm said, a wicked smile on his lips. Obviously, he was also born in the Scarlet Crusaders, and Drumm also knew everything about the situation of the Scarlet Crusaders.

"Well, but, pretend not to know. Because others don't know yet. Even if they did, there would be no evidence. And Younis is the best proof of this. ”

"You want to make a fuss with him?"

Drumm asked.

"Hmm. The Brotherhood of Light is still being persecuted by Da Sohan, and now, all the people of the Brotherhood who did not leave the hands of Tyr have been arrested by Da Sohan, and it is likely that they have been secretly executed. If you can grasp the clue of Younis, you may be able to uncover the true face of Da Sohan. When the time comes, the people of the Scarlet Crusaders may be able to recognize the facts. I still stick to my idea, and it is better to purify the Scarlet Crusaders than to destroy them. After all, they were also glorious warriors at one time......"

Ares replied wearily.
