"Your Excellency, do you need me to send a soldier to take you to the town of Gadar?"

Sergeant Sandra, the bald head, suggested. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Thank you for your kindness, Sergeant, I don't think we need it."

"We are the outermost line of defense here, but there are several more lines on the way to Gadar, which are on the one hand to protect against the undead and on the other hand to stabilize the surrounding order."

Bald Corporal Sandra sighed.

"The appearance of the undead of the natural disasters has destroyed not only our homes, but also the faith in people's hearts, and now there are many more robbers and thieves in the woodlands than before, and they threaten the roads to Garda and the monastery. They robbed and killed poor civilians, which led to their increasing numbers. ”

"So you must be careful on the road and not be fooled by some of the sights in front of you. Anyone can be a demon who kills people without blinking. ”

Sure enough, where disaster strikes, order will collapse.

Eventually, Locke declined Sergeant Sandra's offer.

Their line of defense was more important, and the main thing was that Sergeant Sandra wanted to send that teenage soldier named Hayley to show them the way...

Scarface didn't lead the way this time, and he followed behind Locke in silence, not knowing what to think.

The path through the jungle gradually became wider, and the woods on the road gradually thinned out, and from time to time you could see some stumps that had been cut off, and some traces of human activities began to appear nearby.

The terrain gradually rose up, and they entered the Dahron Mountains.

Mount Darrener is gently located in the northeastern corner of the Tirisfard Glade, backed by the Laronto mountain range, with the other end of the mountain range being the city of the Hearthvale, another major stronghold of the Crusaders, and to the north by the Whispering Coast of the Endless Sea.

The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and on top of it is the main stronghold of the Crusaders in the monastery of Tirisfarin, which was once attacked by the Scourge under the leadership of Arthas, but ended in failure.

According to Sergeant Sandra, a large number of surviving civilians are now gathered at the foot of Mount Dareen, for which the Crusaders established the town of Gadar to house them.

The monastery at the top of the hill served as a training base for the soldiers of the Crusaders, and it was not easy for ordinary people to set foot on it, and in the cathedral of the monastery on the top of the hill, there were many priests and paladins who learned the way of the Light.

The path beneath his feet began to merge with other roads to form avenues, and other humans began to appear on the road, and soon human civilians appeared on the road.

Dressed in clothes sewn from coarse linen, they walked along the side of the road, with women pulling children and men carrying large bags and small bags in front.

They were unkempt, haggard, and numb as they walked towards the finish line, making them extremely tired from running for their lives.

The destruction of their homeland, the fall of their country, and the death of their loved ones have cast a shadow over their future lives. They don't know what will happen in the future, what kind of life they can get here, their hearts are like the weather in Tirisfarin, there are always layers of thick haze, and there is no end in sight.

Only innocent children will sing and run in the procession for a while, but they can't see the sad look in the eyes of their parents.

The two joined the group that was bound for Gadar.

Walking in front of Locke was a young mother, who walked in the middle of the line with her three children, with a large bag strapped to her body and a large package in her hand.

Behind her, her eldest daughter dragged her two younger siblings to follow.

The three children were behind their mothers, chatting quietly and bouncing along the way.

"Leah, why are we leaving Santek? I don't want to leave there! There are a lot of my friends there. ”

The little boy was only about 5 years old, with short yellow hair, twisting his head and complaining to his big sister, Locke saw the little boy with a side face, the corners of his mouth were pouting unhappily, and his face was full of freckles.

His eldest sister, Leah, who was holding his hand, wore a pair of long blonde braids, and her legs stretched forward with all her might, following her mother's steps, while pulling her younger siblings, walking with difficulty.

"I heard from the people in the village that it seems that the bad guys are coming, so we have to leave quickly."

It seems that the little girl Leah doesn't know the specifics either.

"Leah, where's Daddy? Why didn't I see my dad? ”

The little girl's sister also asked about her sister.

"Linna, Daddy went to fight the bad guys, Mom said."

"Really? Mom? ”

Leah asked about her mom.

Locke and Scarface walked behind them, and Locke could clearly see the young mother in front of her, with a large bag on her back, trembling.

"Really? Mom? ”

Leah pulled her younger siblings and asked again.

"It's... Yes... Your dad is a brave warrior! He's going to fight the bad guys! ”

Ahead, the young mother's deep voice came.

"Daddy going to fight the bad guys?"

"Dad is so powerful, he will definitely beat away the bad guys."

"Is it like Solly to fight big rats?"

"Nope! Isn't it? The bad guys are much more powerful than the rats! They should be like the Dark Dogs! ”

"I'm also very good at fighting big rats!"

The two children quarreled in the back.

"But Mom, I miss Dad so much. When will he be back? ”

"I miss my dad so much, when will my dad come back?"

The young mother in front of her was silent, and her shoulders began to twitch sharply. Then she turned around and put her arms around her three children and began to cry bitterly.

Locke and Scarface, who were following behind, also hurriedly stopped and looked at everything in front of them.

"Mom, stop crying!"

"Mom, I won't ask, Mom, don't cry"

The children comforted their mother, who did not know why she was crying.

Lena also used her little hands to wipe her mother's tears, and her mother cried even more.

Looking at all this in front of him, Locke's eyes quickly turned red.

He raised his head to look at the foggy sky, trying to keep his tears from falling.

The scarred face next to him, this big man, disguised looking around, and Locke clearly saw a line of crystal tears in the corners of his eyes.

Behind them, countless latecomers bypassed them, not even looking at them, their faces full of numbness and indifference.

After a long time, the woman controlled her emotions, wiped her tears, and continued to walk forward. Her slightly bent back seemed to be pressing against a mountain.

And her children were not as happy as just now, and they all bowed their heads.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Her youngest son clutched his stomach.

"Listen! It barked again. ”

The woman in front of her turned around with great difficulty, she was wearing a blue linen skirt with a pocket at the belly of the skirt, and her hand touched it for a while, and her face was a little ugly.

"There's nothing to eat, kid, we'll go to Gadar ahead, and we'll have something to eat when we get there."

"But Mom, I'm hungry."

The little boy clutched his stomach and refused to walk.

The woman crouched down, her hand on her son's body, and looked at him.

"Tommy, now you're the only man in our family."

"What about being a man?"

"Become a knight! Protect Mom! Protect your sister! ”

"Then the future little knight, can't you even control your little belly now?"

Tommy's mom touched his stomach and looked at him with a smile, tears still sticking to the corners of her eyes.

"Nope! Tommy isn't hungry now! Mom, let's keep going! ”

The woman smiled and stood up, picked up the package on the ground and walked again.

"Hello ma'am, if you don't mind, we can help you."

Locke couldn't stand it anymore, it really didn't match the belief in his heart, and the impulse from the depths of his heart prompted him to make these moves.
