Chapter 305: The Problem Is Serious
Centered on the Chapel of the Light's Wish on the farthest hill, countless tents and shoddy huts of all sizes have been built around it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Refugees from all over the country sat outside their shacks, looking at the pedestrians walking on the street with numb expressions. The pressures of life make these poor people miserable, and they have to choose other ways to earn a living, such as:
"The undead of the natural disaster have destroyed our home! Kill our loved ones! Let us be displaced, let us live in fear all day long! We're going to fight! We want to regain everything we lost!! Look at your family, look at their expectant eyes, they just want to have a good meal! That's all! What are you waiting for? Join us! Let's drive these monsters out of our homes! Let's reclaim the lost land! Be able to survive in this world! ”
Everywhere in the shantytowns, you can see these loud proclaiming, dressed in silver dawn robes, surrounded by young and old men.
"Join us at Silver Dawn! We are the armed forces of the Knights of the Silver Hand! We have a long and honorable history! We have great power, and we are believers in the Light! Join us and your family will be able to make reasonable arrangements and not go hungry! Don't sleep on the streets! Join us! Your deeds will go down in history! You have a chance to become a noble knight! Your family will be glorified by this! ”
"What are you waiting for?! Join us! Become a brave soldier! Take revenge on the evil scourge! Revenge for your family! Revenge for the King! Revenge for us Lordaeron! The Light is watching you! The Light awaits your decision! ”
While the sharp-tongued soldiers were speaking, there were other soldiers handing out leaflets around. The leaflets were handed out one by one, and the refugees looked at the papers in their hands with hesitant expressions.
"Soldiers! Give me one. ”
Locke, who was watching from the sidelines, stopped the soldier who was handing out the leaflets, and the soldiers trotted over to salute and handed Locke a leaflet.
"Thank you," Locke thanked and picked up the flyer in his hand and looked at it.
"The Undead Scourge has gathered a mighty army and launched an attack on us, and we must fight to defend our homeland! Silver Dawn now recruits all combat-capable aspirants, men and women, to defend our homeland. If we are on the same side, please give this document to the list registrar at the Chapel of the Light's Wish. They will settle your families properly, and may the Light be with us! ”
"How's it going, soldier?" Locke handed the flyer to the soldier, "How many people can you recruit in a day?" ”
"Sir, the situation is very bad, we can't even recruit a squadron of people a day." The soldier shook his head in annoyance, "Not everyone wants to join us, these civilians are all scared by the undead. And the civilians who have the courage to join the army have almost all joined the army. ”
Locke nodded, this may be one of the reasons why Baron Tairosus has been advocating for the recruitment of soldiers from other races.
"Not only that, but they would rather go outside the Chapel of Light's Wish and receive the meagre food relief they receive every day, rather than eat meat in the barracks." The soldier sighed, "If this continues, when will we be able to drive the scourge out of our land?" ”
"Yes, it won't take long." Locke smiled and patted the soldier's shoulder, "Keep up the good work, there will always be people who understand the true meaning of the Holy Light and choose to join the army to take revenge on the natural disaster." ”
The soldier saluted Locke and returned to his post.
"The quality of the civilians here is really far worse than our Silver Pine Forest." Karl muttered, "In our southern theater of operations, every time the army expands, there are always crowds of civilians lining up outside the barracks. And no one here chose to join the army!? ”
"I can't live anymore, and I don't want to join the army. I really don't know what these people think! ”
"The situation here is much more complicated than in the Silver Pine Forest, and the people suffer more than elsewhere, and the fear of natural disasters in the hearts of the people is indelible for a while. It will take some of our achievements to encourage them," Locke took the reins of his horse and led the way, the guards following closely.
"The first problem is the need to solve the food crisis."
As we got closer to the Chapel, so did the long lines of civilians on the streets, reaching the gates of the Chapel of Light's Wish.
They all held small jars for rice in their hands, and each of them had expectant and anxious looks on their faces.
"This line is so long?" Karl craned his neck to look at the front of the line, and said unconsciously, "There are enough people here!" Those people out there know to be self-sufficient! ”
"How do you know that the people in line here don't know how to support themselves? Maybe they're all just as you think, and don't want to eat those scavengers. And there is no more to use in the forest for a long time, if you don't come to the Holy Light Church for help, will you starve to death? The other guards retorted, "The Church of Light has always had the custom of giving out free food to the poor, which is the tradition of the Church of Light. ”
"But if this continues, the Holy Light Church will be eaten poor!" Not to be outdone, Karl said, "These people should think of their own solutions, and not rely only on the relief of the church." ”
"It's not for you to think about, Carl, the old man of the Silver Hand has his own plans."
"Okay, okay, I'm worrying too much!" Carl said angrily.
"No, you're right," Locke said to the others, turning to comfort his guards, "The people are the cornerstone of our victory over the natural scourge, and I think the old men of the Silver Hand may have their own way." Let's not worry about that. ”
The group continued to follow the bustling flow of people towards the Chapel of the Wish of Light.
As they approached the door of the Chapel of Light's Wish, Locke and the others met the person in charge of distributing food to civilians.
Several priests, led by a priest in a silver dawn robe, distributed food to the civilians.
"Thank you, Father Montor, for giving me food and for saving my family! You were the one who pulled me back from the brink of depravity! And pointed me in the right direction! Thank you! ”
A ragged commoner was kneeling before the priest, and he was excitedly speaking words of blessing.
"Don't kneel to me, child, we are servants of the Light, and it is all at its command. We are just carrying out its will. ”
"If you really want to repay us, then please join our army of Silver Dawn, Silver Dawn needs you."
