Chapter 239: Speech (1/1 for Book Friend Fat Fat Tian)
The town square was filled with civilians from Gadar, who looked with some concern at the large force of cavalry passing through the square, and they rushed out of the town in full armor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Bands of soldiers also began to march out of the town, and for a moment bad words circulated among the civilians.
Anxiety, panic, sadness and other negative emotions pervade Brill's ranks of refugees, poor people who have experienced such a crisis once and now again, and many of them are beginning to wonder if they have made the right decision.
"What to do? What are we going to do? Oriss held the baby in her arms, her eyes straightened, she muttered to herself, frightened and frightened, and her legs did not obey her, but trembled like chaff.
Joshua sighed, he didn't expect to be really said by himself, yes, how can wealth be so easy to get, he really thought it was too simple, maybe he really thought it was too simple?
Just when the husband and wife were secretly panicking.
Locke walked out of the command and heard the voice of Olis from the ranks of civilians. The young couple was standing in a small square not far from the headquarters.
"Don't worry, lady, we Crusaders will defend you to the death. Those filthy undead want to hurt you unless all the warriors of our crusaders fall! Locke came among them, his body glowing with a faint glow of holy light, affecting the crowd around him.
Locke's words attracted the attention of all the civilians around him, and the civilians instantly surrounded him.
"Are you telling the truth? Master? ”
"You swear you won't abandon us!"
"Shut up! How can you filthy creature insult the lord? The lord is a noble paladin! ”
For a while, the mixed voices of people poured into Locke's ears.
He had to stand on a cart on the side and shout to get the attention of all the refugees.
"Listen to me, everybody!" Locke shouted as he pulled his neck, and he looked at the panicked eyes below, and couldn't help but raise his voice again. "I promise you here! I will never abandon any of you! I swear in the name of the Light! I, Locke Harvey, deputy commander of the Crusaders and commander of the Southern Theater, will not abandon a single people! ”
Looking at Locke, who was shouting in the carriage in the distance, Berg jumped out of the carriage. "Zodi, come with me. Now it's time for us to perform, and Ina is optimistic about our carriage. Now, it's our most valuable thing. ”
He had purchased the carriage with the money Locke had given him, and he had their family insignia stamped on the side of the carriage. This also caused all the civilians to distance themselves from him.
Perhaps Locke's oath and assurances were more effective, and the civilians gradually stabilized. The expressions on their faces calmed down, and they looked at Locke expectantly, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Seeing this, Locke, who was going to go outside the town to prepare, ordered Thomas to go out and set up the formation first, and he returned to the carriage where he had been standing, and he wanted to say something to stabilize the minds of the civilians.
"Look around you, these soldiers in a hurry!" Locke pointed to the soldiers hurrying around the plaza for civilians to look over. The civilians looked at each other as if they didn't understand, "They're going to set up outside Brill to meet the incoming enemy!" ”
"Sir! Is it bad to defend against walls in a town? Why go out, you're not going to abandon us? The words of this civilian were agreed by the others, and the civilians who had stabilized also raised doubtful voices.
"Good question," Locke nodded, and he beckoned behind him as a soldier approached.
Locke leaned his head in his ear and commanded, "Let Thomas leave two companies behind and watch out for the instability in the crowd." What are the factors of instability, you ask? It is those who deliberately cause people to feel uneasy, pay attention to them, and if they feel suspicious, arrest them immediately! ”
The soldier nodded and left.
Locke continued back to the cart, paper in his hand acting as a scout's report, and no one would actually come over to read it anyway.
"On this reconnaissance report handed in by the scouts, it is noted that it forces us to leave the protection of the city walls and fight them outside!" Locke waved the parchment in his hand, "Those monsters, they're coming with a plague that kills us all. They have a chariot that can launch the plague from far away into our towns. For your safety, our soldiers have decided to go out and fight them! You should be glad they are here! ”
Most of the civilians had a blank look on their faces, and some were looking at the faces of the civilians around them, trying to say something.
"The more moments like this, the more we are Lordaerons, the more we must not panic. I understand your feelings! Locke sighed, he looked at the civilians below and slowed down his tone, "These disasters that have happened in the kingdom of Lordaeron have caused us Lordaerons to suffer huge losses, and also made us Lordaerons live in the shadows all day long, which is the biggest disaster for us in Lordaeron. The civilians in front of him all had sad expressions on their faces, and some of them even shed tears from the corners of their eyes.
"We grieve for the loss of our king, our country for the fall of our country, our pain for us, and our country into a place of death where the undead are rampant. They slaughter us, they even experiment on us, they desecrate the bodies of our loved ones, they disturb their sleep. Who can know our suffering? More and more civilians gathered around him, listening to his story, and several soldiers around him watched nervously as they guarded Locke to keep him safe.
"We were panicked at one point, we were beaten back by them. We have lost a lot of land. There were more and more refugees around Locke, and the soldiers of the crusaders in the distance were also attracted by Locke's speech, and they slowed down their march and listened to Locke's speech.
"I have prayed to the Light, and I want to ask what we Lordaerons have done wrong and why we are being punished so much. I was hoping for a reply, but the Light did not give me a clear answer. The Light tells me what to do in its own way, and it strengthens my Light. Locke paused, his front already densely packed with listening soldiers and refugees.
Locke's inquisition began to glow with a hot and bright glow of holy light, seeping out of the armor and influencing everyone around him, making them feel peaceful and reverent.
"I think I'm starting to understand a little bit, what the Light is trying to tell me is that it hasn't given up on us! Didn't give up on us Lordaerons! It wants us to take up arms and drive away the monsters that desecrate the corpses of our loved ones! It's sheltering us! Let's take back our homeland and let our children have a better tomorrow! Locke shouted. On his body, the light of the Judgment Suit continued to shine outward.
The faces of the surrounding refugees were no longer as panicked as they had been, they were moved by Locke's speech, and the men's faces showed determination, and they clenched their fists. The women also wiped away their tears and hugged the child in their arms tightly, or held the child's hand tightly.
"We Lordaerons have never been defeated! Now that we have established ourselves in the Tirisfard Glades, in the Kingdom of Eastern Lordaeron, and in the Silver Pines Forest, we have begun to gradually begin a counterattack against the undead scourge, and sooner or later we will punish them for their many evil deeds and avenge the dead! Sooner or later we will kick them out of our homes! ”
"For Lordaeron!"
Locke said everything he had wanted to say in one breath, and the refugees and soldiers around him cheered.
They chanted "For Lordaeron!" Everyone's faces were no longer frightened and sad, they vented their depression and panic feverishly, and the atmosphere was mobilized.
Locke bowed to the people around him, and then slowly walked out of the town of Brill, and the refugees in his path all looked at him with reverence and scattered the way.
"My lord, leave it to me now." Baron Berg, with his minions, appeared in front of Locke and stopped his way, "I'll appease them, my lord." Give us the crusaders no worries. ”
"Then it's hard for you!" Locke smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and left with the soldiers.
Berg bowed respectfully to him, and when Locke was far away, Berg came to the place where Locke was standing and shouted.
"Hey, listen, everybody! I'm Baron Berg. I'm Commander Harvey's... Consultant! Berg thought for a moment before he could choke out the word. If you have any doubts, come to me. Now, I'm in charge of your problems here! ”
Soon, a crowd of civilians surrounded them.
Joshua's face took a relaxed look as he took the baby from Olis and teased him.
"What the master said, is it true?" Olis couldn't help but ask her man, she was still suspicious about it.
Joshua's face did not wave, he still teased the child with peace of mind, and the baby in his arms made a giggling sound.
"I'm talking to you!" The woman was dissatisfied and pushed her man.
"What do you want me to say?" Joshua asked her disapprovingly, "You don't believe the words of our lord, what can I do?" ”
"What's more, he's a paladin. Do you think a paladin would do such a thing that goes against his own creed? Or is it said on such an occasion? Joshua pointed to Baron Berg, who was answering civilian questions, "I saw that the old man over there didn't, he was an advisor to the commander, and he didn't leave." Do you still think the lord will give up on us? ”
"Put your heart in your belly, it's the safest place right now!"
