Locke smiled diligently at Grayskin, who was flattered and loyal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to Grayskin's description, there should be an open-pit iron ore vein here. Before the disaster, there were a few humans who came here and took a few rocks from the ground with them. Later, some humans came here with tools to dig for a few days, but within a few days they were captured by the sudden arrival of the undead of the natural disaster.

Locke instructed Shiloh to have some soldiers stationed here, and he was going to fence it off and dig it slowly. Maybe there's a lot of money here?

With all this arranged, Locke and his soldiers continued to the next gnolls' camp, and now there was a stronger reason to exterminate them.

The days went by like this, and in the following month or so, the Iva Farm camp gradually entered the regular form.

The original dilapidated buildings were also demolished, and new wooden houses were erected under the design of the stonemasons. The soldiers were not living in rudimentary tents, they moved into newly built wooden huts.

Some of the soldiers also freed up, and they began to go out in batches to wipe out the gnolls around Iva Farm, and the recruits began to quickly transform into qualified soldiers.

The most significant difference is that when they returned to the camp, they all held their heads high and did not mind the blood stained on their bodies, which is precisely the best medal for their bravery.

They were greeted by the cheering refugees of the Iva camp.

In the first few days, the surviving refugees were relocated to Iva one after another.

When the Fifth Legion went to their temporary camp and knocked on their door, the refugees were surprised to find that an army dressed as a kingdom had come to their rescue!

The rejoicing people prayed to the light, and cried out to the soldiers who had come to migrate them.

They have had enough of humiliation in this fast land.

The gnolls, who used to be only worthy of being robbers, now dare to enslave humans with impunity, taking them into the gnolls' nests as slaves, or using them as food reserves. A large number of wild beasts in the woodland, because they are not disturbed by humans, they also reproduce rapidly, they threaten the safety of human life, which also greatly compresses the living space of surviving humans.

The terrible ones were the undead, who raged for a while in the beginning, and countless humans were captured or killed by them. The following day, most of the undead suddenly disappeared, and only a few were active in the woodland.

However, then, at night in the forest, especially on the full night, there will always be bursts of wolf howls. Some legends have slowly begun to circulate in human camps, and it is said that a curse spreads in this woodland, and those who fall under the curse will eventually become half-wolf, half-human monsters, will lose their minds and become extremely bloodthirsty, and when attacked, they will become extremely powerful and difficult to control.

Closer to the south, there are a number of uninhabited human habitats. Some of the brave hunters had gone in to check, and when they came out, their whole minds were a little abnormal. According to their sober descriptions, there were countless fragments of human stumps on the ground there. This also indirectly hints to other humans that this legend is true.

For a moment, the human survivor camp became panicked.

The surviving humans had to huddle around the camp, carefully hiding their whereabouts and reclaiming the limited land around them in order to survive. They raised the walls of their camp, and everyone, from the elderly to the children and women, was armed and ready to fight to the death against the invading enemy. Because of the curse, they began to be cautious and not trust strangers easily.

When the Crusader soldiers knocked on the door of their camp, the humans looked at the soldiers who had come to migrate them and wept, the sadness and grievance were indescribable.

Yes, when people live in this kingdom and eat and drink, people feel that it is normal, and people feel that it is the responsibility of the kingdom. And when the kingdom is a little unsatisfactory, people just criticize the kingdom, thinking that the kingdom is not good or bad, but they do not see that the kingdom has been trying to change all these years. Some people with ulterior motives began to take advantage of the opportunity to incite ordinary people to oppose the kingdom.

And suddenly one day, the kingdom fell due to the invasion of natural disasters.

But people have fallen into a life of misery, and the original stable life is gone. Adults and children have nothing to eat, not even a mouthful of clean water. Wanting to leave their homeland and avoid this risk, they were insulted by the locals.

As a last resort, he returned to his hometown, and his land became the asset of a few.

And if you leave your homeland and want to parasitize in another kingdom, you will be subjected to all kinds of insults and blank eyes. The soldiers of the local garrison will focus on them, as they are a source of social unrest in the local area.

In the past, the weak gnolls around them now dare to ride on people's heads to show off their might.

Only then did it become clear that although the previous kingdom was somewhat unsatisfactory, he had indeed been protecting the people, and it was already too late. Because the kingdom has fallen, people can only endure the pain of losing the protection of the kingdom, and can only miss the good times of the kingdom in the dead of night.

That's how the surviving humans all over Lordaeron feel!

So people everywhere packed their bags, sorted out their belongings, and left the camp where they had taken shelter with large bags and small bags following the soldiers who had come to protect them from the evacuation.

They crossed hills and rivers along the way, and were also attacked by gnolls and scattered undead. In the past, refugees had to flee for their lives. But now, they were protected, and the Crusader soldiers, after a charge, repelled the gnolls and undead who had tried to besiege them.

Seeing such a scene, the feelings in the hearts of the refugees are indescribable.

And this scene happened from time to time in the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest, and the people thanked Dade for thanking the Crusader soldiers. The soldiers told them that it was an order from their legion commander, Locke Harvey, and the name was firmly remembered in the minds of the civilians.

When the civilians arrived at Eva Farm, they found that this place, which used to be a private farm, had become a large town!

Here, brand new wooden houses have sprung up from the ground. They sat in rows, as if welcoming them. In the town, everything is planned in an orderly manner, and the town is divided into several zones, each of which is strictly defined for its role.

The civilians looked at it with novelty, they had been out of civilization for too long.

The Crusader soldiers who passed by all looked at them with kind faces and said some words of blessing to them. That's not the point, the point is after they came to the small square of this town. In this square, there was a huge fountain, and the supreme commander of this army, their regimental commander, stood by the fountain to greet them. He instructed his logistics officer to make a sumptuous feast for the refugees, and pork, wolf, bear, fish, and wheat cakes, which he would never have dreamed of, appeared on the table.

With tears in their eyes, the civilians ate this unforgettable feast. This not only touched them, but also strengthened their beliefs! That is to say, to support the army that saved them!

They're fed up with this lack of protection!

In front of a brand-new wooden house, a young man who had just turned 16 and held a piece of paper with the blue seal of the Fifth Legion stood at the door of his house, and he was hesitant to enter.

What should I tell my mother? The boy thought with a sad face, and he looked down at the paper he was holding.

"I, Elizhe Taylor, have volunteered to join the Fifth Legion of the Crusaders, and I will obey the discipline of the Crusaders and perform the duties of a soldier. I will support the leadership of Legion Commander Rock Harvey to me, I will make it my mission to carry out his orders, and I will work for the future of Lordaeron! Always be ready to sacrifice your life for the Legion, for the Legion, for Lordaeron! Signed: Elizhe Taylor. ”

At the signatory, the seal of the enlistment office of the command of the Fifth Army Corps was stamped on it.

Little Taylor looked at the paper with few numbers written on it, worried.

He didn't know how to tell his mother.

That day, he and her mother were rescued from the gnolls by the Crusaders. Little Taylor was so fascinated by the uniforms of the soldiers that he swore that he would join the Crusaders!

Soon, the opportunity came.

As more and more civilians gathered in the towns of Iva, the Crusaders began to expand! They erected a billboard in the square, and any man between the ages of 16 and 45 was able to join the crusaders.

Little Taylor carried his mother behind his back and secretly reported his name. Originally, the recruiter looked at him and doubted his age, but little Taylor took out the identification certificate given by Lordaeron, and the recruiter issued him a conscription letter.

And now, he could only stand in the doorway, hesitating.

"Hi Taylor, why are you standing here? Why not go home? ”

The next-door neighbor, Corek, looked at little Taylor and asked suspiciously. The Corrick family moved from another surviving camp, and Corrick was a big fat man who was a butcher. He buys the carcasses of animals from other people, disposes of them, and sells them as mature food in the town. He was also the first merchant to set up shop in the town of Iva in a small square.

He liked Taylor very much, he was very polite, and he knew how to help people.

"Hello, Mr. Corrick." Little Taylor bowed, "I don't have anything to do, I just come out to relax." ”

"Is there anything you can help me with?" Little Taylor looked at him and asked.

"No, I didn't." Corrick looked at him with a smile, "Go back quickly, don't let your mother look for you everywhere." ”

Little Taylor helplessly spread his hands, and he pushed open the door of his house.

Little Taylor tiptoed into the house and closed the door.

In this small two-bedroom house, an emaciated woman is busy in the kitchen, with a pile of green vegetables around her.

"Taylor, come and help mom clean these wild vegetables, I found a lot of them today! We won't be starving these days! Taylor's mother looked up and looked at her child with a smile, holding some vegetables in her hand.

"Mother, the Crusaders will give us food every day, there is no need to look for these unpalatable and unsightly wild vegetables." Little Taylor said helplessly.

"Have you forgotten how we spent that time?" Mom glanced up at little Taylor, "Even if the Crusaders want to provide for us, we should take the pressure off the Crusaders." There are so many people they have to feed! We want to make a little contribution to the Crusaders. ”

Taylor looked at his busy mother, and he couldn't help but whisper.

"Mom, I'm joining the Crusaders."

Little Taylor lowered his head, not daring to look his mother in the eye.
