On the pulpit, the Grand Lord Mograini and the Grand Commander Dasuo Khan stood a little behind, the Grand Inspector Ethan Lien stood at the forefront, holding a scroll in his hand, and behind him stood the Grand General Abidis, who looked at the soldiers in the audience with a smile.

"The various legions have checked whether the soldiers who have been promoted have arrived." Grand Inspector Ethan Lien said to the deputy commanders of the legions in the audience.

Locke got up and turned his head to look at the area where the Second Legion was sitting, the soldiers of the Second Legion who were promoted were a large black press, they all blinked and looked at Locke, Locke was a little stunned for a while, he didn't know who was going to be promoted, who was not promoted, and he was not involved in the management of these.

Just when he was at a loss, a lieutenant came over and whispered in his ear, "The 136 corporals who have been promoted to sergeant in our Second Legion, the 67 soldiers who have been promoted to sergeant, and the officers who need to be promoted have all arrived. ”

Locke nodded, and he turned to report to Ethan Lien on the pulpit. "All the soldiers and officers of the Second Regiment who have been promoted have arrived."

"All the soldiers and officers of the Third Regiment who have been promoted have arrived." Bridget on the far right stood up and reported.

Locke glanced at her and saw that she was also turning her head to look at him, and Locke smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

Bridget tilted his head and spread his palms, and with an expression like that, Locke couldn't help but laugh.

However, there was a problem with the First Army, and the number of people could not be reported for a long time, which delayed the process of the meeting.

Behind the pulpit, Locke had seen the unhappy face of the Grand Lord Mograini, and the Grand Commander Dassault Khan was talking to him.

The deputy commander of the First Legion was Renault, and perhaps the Grand Lord felt that this embarrassed him.

It was a long time before Locke saw Renault sweating profusely walking to the pulpit, saying something to Ethanlien, who frowned and motioned for him to go down.

Then, the Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien said something to the Grand Commander Dasuo Khan and the Grand Lord, who also came up.

"Before the promotion meeting begins, let's stand and observe a moment of silence in honor of our brothers who died in battle."

The sound of armor rubbing against each other mingled with the clashing of chairs and tables, and everyone stood up, several soldiers walked in with Scottish bagpipe-like instruments, and some priests stood in front of the pulpit in solemn red gowns and robes.

Everyone bowed their heads, several soldiers blew their instruments, the sad music that Locke had heard in Gallentown that day sounded in the cathedral at one time, the priests in the pulpit were singing in low voices, Locke had just sung a syllable, but Major Hudson next to him pulled him.

The only voices in the hall were the voices of the priests singing, and the others were not singing, and it dawned on Locke.

Locke turned his head to look at him, and Major Hudson shook his head at him and motioned for him not to sing, and Locke had to bow his head in silence.

The sad song mixed with male and female voices pierced Locke's eardrums, and Locke's heart became sad for a while, and he thought of those soldiers who cut themselves off again, he mourned silently with an expressionless face, and his heart was singing in a low voice, singing praises for these soldiers.

Soon the mournful music ended, and the priests and the soldiers who played it retreated.

The Grand Inspector, Ethan Lien, stepped forward and sat everyone down, looked at the soldiers below, and began his speech.

"Soldiers! In the past few months, we in Lordaeron have suffered great calamities, our kings have died, our armies have been scattered, our homes have been destroyed by one filthy monster after another, and our loved ones have died at their hands. ”

Ethan Leon's voice was sometimes high and sometimes low, his eyes became rosy, and Locke couldn't help but sigh in his heart, worthy of being a grand prosecutor, maybe in his previous life he could bewitch the soldiers, and the ability of this speech should not be underestimated.

"Our country has fallen! One province after another of our kingdom has been overrun by this monster, which has desecrated our homeland, polluted the land into a dead place unfit for us human habitation, desecrated the remains of our loved ones, dug them out of the graveyard, twisted them into brainless zombies and skeletons, controlled the souls of our loved ones, controlled them to attack us, and kept our loved ones at peace all day long. ”

"And what can we do?" Ethan Lion sighed, he lowered his head and wiped his tears, then he looked up again.

"We don't have a country, we don't have an army, we have no one to protect us, we crave revenge but we don't have an organization for revenge, we want revenge but we are killed by those monsters one by one, and finally become one of them, there was a time when I couldn't help but ask, where is the way out for us Lordaeron."

The soldiers in the audience also became embarrassed, this history was the darkest hour of Lordaeron, and the only remaining army was cut off by Marshal Garithar at the hands of Sylvanas, the Banshee King, under the city of Lordaeron.

From then on, it was as if an endless haze hung over the heads of the Lordaerons.

"But! We haven't given up hope! Esenlien suddenly raised his head and said excitedly, "Under the leadership of the High Lord Mograini and the Grand Commander Dasuo Khan, we gathered in the Monastery and the Valley of the Hearth, we established the largest human settlement city after the natural disaster Gadar, we recovered the land near Gadar, we recovered the largest granary town in the Tirisfarh Glade, and our situation in East Lordaeron has also improved further, we have dispersed the undead who are besieging the Valley of the Hearth. ”

"We have also strengthened our faith, the undead of the natural disaster, those monsters are not invincible!"

"Long live Lordaeron!" Ethan Lien shouted with his arms held high.

"Long live Lordaeron!" Locke also shouted along with the other soldiers in the audience.

I have to admit that the Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lion is indeed very good at agitating the morale of the military, which Locke still thinks he can't do.

Ethan Lion pressed down his palm, and the shouts of the soldiers slowly lowered.

"No matter how strong the strength of the individual is, it is not comparable to the strength of the unity of all of you, these are inseparable from our brave soldiers, it is with your presence that we have been able to achieve such achievements in such a period of time, here I thank you on behalf of the Crusaders and on behalf of Lordaeron."

Ethan Lien bowed deeply to the soldiers and officers below, and the soldiers burst into thunderous applause, and Locke also clapped vigorously, saying that well, the soldiers would identify with the crusaders even more.

"Merit must be rewarded, now our crusaders are the only army in the Lordaeron region, since it is an army, there must be clear rewards and punishments, and now we will promote the following soldiers."

Then the Grand Commander Dassault Khan and the Grand Lord and the Grand Lord came forward and stood beside the Grand Inspector Ethanlien, and behind them, each of them had some soldiers holding some rolled parchment papers and new battle robes, standing behind them, and whenever Ethan Lien read the name of a soldier, the Grand Lord and the Grand Commander would take the papers and robes from the hands of the soldiers behind them, and give them all diligence and affirmation.

The document is a certificate of promotion that has been filed by the Crusaders, which details the time and place of your promotion, the name of the person who signed the order, and other relevant military ranks.

The robe is more complicated, it contains a lot of information, the first is the logo, each kingdom uses a different robe logo, but now the crusaders uniformly use the double-headed eagle emblem, the background color is white to symbolize Lordaeron, the color of the double-headed eagle and the edge lines of the robe are blue, symbolizing a member of the alliance.

Each class is also divided into battle suits. For example, the scouts, on their robes, the eagle's eyes are deepened, indicating that they are the eyes of the crusaders. And like a cavalryman, the two wings of the double-headed eagle are deepened on the robe on the chest. Some other classes also add something to their uniforms.

Compared with the soldier's uniform, the officer's uniform is much more complicated, marking the country, the title, the rank, and so on.

Locke saw Corporal Powell also walk up, he took the new robe from the big lord, took the appointment paperwork from the big commander, and kept talking about something.

Locke laughed, he must have been rambling again.

Soon the promotion of the soldiers was over, and as for the relatively large number of recruits promoted to corporal, it is not necessary to commend them one by one, but these documents and uniforms were brought back by their company commanders and promoted in the company.

Locke understood very well why the Crusaders had to make the promotion ceremony so grand, and in this special period, it was necessary to do so, and the incentive effect of such a ceremony on the soldiers was huge, and the positive effect was immeasurable.

Then it was time to promote officers, compared to the huge number of soldiers, there were many fewer officers, and most of them were promotions to warrant officers and ensigns, and only a few lieutenants were promoted to captains.

Locke looked at these promoted officers and couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for his father's relationship, would he be able to sit here? I'm afraid I'm sitting in those soldiers.

When it was all over, Grand Prosecutor Ethan Leon continued to speak below, and Locke knew that maybe it was his turn.

"We have been joined in this war against the Scourge, a child whose father was a powerful paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand, who followed in Lothar's footsteps in expelling the orc invaders and died at the hands of the Scourge, protecting his people."

Ethan Lien muffled his voice.

Major Hudson also turned his head and patted Locke on the shoulder, who smiled at him and signaled that he was okay.

"But this boy did not give up hope, he risked being caught by a natural disaster, all the way from the town of Tranquility to the monastery, and his addition gave us an outstanding paladin with great talents, who fought bravely in battle, who used his great abilities in battle to avoid more casualties among the soldiers, his actions were praised by the soldiers, his nobility was recognized by the soldiers, and his leadership skills were affirmed by the high lord."

"I'm sure you guessed his name."

Ethan Lien breathed a sigh of relief, and he shouted as he looked at the many officers and soldiers watching him below.

"Who is he?!"

"Major Locke!"

The sound was deafening, especially the soldiers of the Second Legion behind Locke, who stood up with a smile, waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, and walked to the pulpit.
