Chapter 13 The Darkness Before Dawn!
Falling Leaf City, Temple.
The Holy Spirit Pastor Milan, who was kneeling in the center of the temple to pray, suddenly opened her eyes, and she stood up in an instant, and said excitedly: "Prepare to transfer the believers! My Lord is almost here!"
"Arranging the guards of the temple immediately, we will first transfer the most devout believers to a safe place, and our Lord has led a great army to this place."
There was surprise inside the temple!
However, the priest immediately issued an order, and the remaining guards in the temple also moved quickly and arranged people to prepare to move here.
"I want to arrange the most devout believers away!"
The Holy Spirit Pastor Milan stood up and said with a serious expression: "These people are the easiest to arrange, and they are willing to obey our orders. As for the others, we will talk about it after we send the first people away."
It's just a few days.
This teenage girl has become much more mature. Although she still looks young, she is much more experienced in doing things.
As the only Holy Spirit pastor in the church, she has learned a lot during this period!
"Yes!" the temple guard responded.
soon.
There was a messy sound outside, and many people were hesitant about leaving now. However, many devout believers were ready to leave together immediately, because the siege of Luoye City had already scared them, and the majesty of the dragon made the imprint of the gods in their hearts. In the priest's mouth, their new god was a powerful god who could drive the dragon. As long as they left here, the gods could provide them with security protection.
In the crowd, a pale mother hugged the child tightly.
Although Luoye City temporarily relieved the crisis, the food was still not sufficient. Her pretty face was a little panicked. She hugged the baby in her arms with her hands and slowly moved with the crowd.
At this time.
A man dressed in a militia came over and quickly walked to her side, and said hurriedly: "Sister? Are you really going to leave with them? The general said that there will be reinforcements from the elves soon, and we can defeat those orcs!"
The beautiful woman turned her head and looked at him, and a trace of tears appeared on the corner of her eyes. She murmured, "How long will it take?"
"Even if you can defeat the orcs? How long will it take?"
"How much blood will be shed? We have no food anymore! I'm afraid my child and I can't hold on at that time!"
"I'm not afraid of death."
"But I want him to survive!"
The young mother looked at the baby with wide eyes in her arms. There were scars on her fingers. When food was in short supply, she fed the baby with blood. The little baby was very brave. She still didn't cry when she saw so many people so panic. She just stared at everything with her eyes wide, as if he could feel something. The young mother's eyes suddenly became gentle after falling on the baby. She shook her head firmly and whispered: "I'm sorry!"
"I plan to take him to a safe place and then slowly raise him."
“There is no hope for staying here.”
"Even if I defeated the orc, I wouldn't be able to take him through this autumn."
The militia next to him fell silent.
A hint of hesitation appeared on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. I'll leave with you. I can't let you take your children so far alone."
After saying that, the young half-elves in front of him looked at the city wall in the distance, with a hint of sadness on his face.
He is a brave warrior.
If he could, he would never want to leave his hometown, but now he must face a dilemma. One is to stay here to protect his home. Finally, he found a way to defeat the invading orcs, and the other is to protect his sister to go overseas together. Waiting for the future to recover his hometown. On one side is his hometown and on the other side is the only surviving relative, he finally chose the latter.
……………………
The rapid footsteps sounded.
A small figure rushed into the temple quickly and shouted at the priest present: "Battleship!"
“So many warships!”
"Over the Ayate River! It's full of warships! We're saved!"
Scout.
In this case, only the scouts who would leave Luoye City. The young man who seemed to have obvious elf bloodlines expressed excitement and said hurriedly: "Army! My Lord's army has arrived!"
Half-elf and the god of wanderers.
The remaining power of the church is not only the pastor, but also many semi-elf wanderers. Shortly after the oracle was conveyed, the church sent out many wanderers.
A smile appeared on the face of the Holy Spirit Pastor Milan, and she knelt on the ground with a pious expression and prayed, then stood up and said, "Go immediately!"
"Everyone packs up his things and escorts the believers away!"
Just then.
The voice of a middle-aged priest rang out. He looked like a nobleman than a priest, and said in a deep voice: "Just leave like this? There are armys of orcs wandering nearby! What if we encounter them on the road? We can't last long!"
Pastor Fina frowned and looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Of course my Lord will respond to us."
“Go off now!”
at this time.
It was almost afternoon, and after a busy period, thousands of believers soon gathered, these were the most devout believers in the church. After the oracle was conveyed, they chose to leave together without hesitation.
The south gate of Luoye City is open.
The first one to come out was the temple guards, then some militias, followed by the vast civilians, and the priest behind the temple.
On the city wall.
A gorgeously dressed nobleman silently watched the crowd in front of him, and his eyes were cold and kept staring at the figure of the Holy Spirit Pastor Milan.
"Your Mightiness."
A middle-aged man who looked like an officer came to him and said in a deep voice: "Do you just let them leave like this? If they leave, the hearts of the people in the city will be dispersed."
"I'm afraid our situation will be even more difficult next!"
The gorgeously dressed nobleman turned around and looked at him, and said with a cold expression: "I know. Retrieve the people on the front line. They cannot reach the Ayate River before dark. As long as they leave here, they will be exposed to the sight of the orc army."
Speaking of this, his expression became cold.
Yes.
Most of the believers are old, weak, women and children, or ordinary civilians. These people are traveling very slowly, and they will never arrive before dark for a distance of twenty or thirty kilometers. And if they are found out by the orc army, then there is almost no need to think about the final result. How could a group of civilians fight against the powerful orc army in the wild?
The middle-aged officer's face suddenly became ugly. After he understood the reasons why the nobles in front of him let them go, a trace of unbearableness appeared in his heart.
Unless someone quickly responded on the road in the past, the final result of these people would probably be miserable!
As long as you are caught up, it will be a massacre.
If these people were slaughtered by the orc army, the civilians in Luoye City would never have the idea of leaving again. This would also be a major blow to the church's prestige. In this case, the noble parliament would have absolute control.
The sky gradually darkened.
As soon as possible, the priests have urged the crowd to speed up as much as possible, but so many elderly, weak, women and children cannot go as fast as possible. There are many orphans of warriors in the crowd. The women holding children have not had a full meal for a long time, and now they are even more exhausted. It is already dark and they have only walked about halfway through the journey. If the orc scouts found them, they are most likely to be caught up by the enemy.
"It's too slow to continue like this!"
The old bishop glanced at the bloated and slow team and murmured: "I'm afraid the orcs have discovered us."
"Let the temple guards prepare for battle!"
"The militia stayed to protect the believers, and the others were ready to fight with me!"
Half a day has passed.
It is almost difficult not to avoid being discovered in this vast team. If it is discovered, it is estimated that the enemy's army will appear soon.
The old man lowered his head and prayed a few times, and said slowly: "Now I can only hope that the reinforcements of my Lord can come and respond!"
"otherwise."
"We may not be able to hold onto the Agate."
……………………
Woo woo woo woo woo!
The sound of desolate horns rang out.
The crowd suddenly let out a panic cry, and countless people looked into the distance with horror expressions. The figure of orcs appeared in the distance. Although the night had affected their sight, they could still see the enemy approaching quickly.
"Prepare for the fight!"
"Prepare for the fight!"
"Come with me in the temple guards! The others took the civilians away!"
The old man in bishop's costume pulled out the long sword at his waist. He tightened a steel shield, and his seemingly old body rushed to the rear at the same time, shouting: "Don't be messed up! Go towards the direction of the Agate River! There are reinforcements from my Lord in front!"
"The priest stays!"
"Servants of the Church! Warriors of the Temple! We cannot abandon believers!..."
"All those who can fight follow me to stop the enemy from approaching!"
"This is the last darkness before dawn!...My Lord's army is coming soon!...For the glory of my Lord!..."
"Prepare for the fight!"
……………………
Ao Wow!
The desolate howling of wolf sounded.
With the dull war drums echoing, dozens of orc cavalry riding huge wolf rushed out from the side of the orc army. Raising these ferocious beasts is more difficult than raising a heavy cavalry. Even with the power of the orc tribe, only one team was trained. Now this wolf cavalry team went around from the side and accelerated to the retreating civilians.
The orc warrior has appeared in front of him.
Facing the wolf cavalry that was getting closer and closer to the crowd, the temple guards who stayed behind were unable to support them at all.
The distance is getting closer!
The shadow of death enveloped everyone. Once the wolf cavalry rushed into the crowd, it would be a massacre!!!
Chapter completed!
