Lord of Arcane

Chapter 364 Volunteers

"Go to the barracks! We must hurry up!" Erwin called on Gal and hurried to the barracks.

Gal followed Erwin, his mind was buzzing. When he heard Erwin say that they were about to leave the town and go to the eastern plain to fight the orcs head-on, his first reaction was—"This is forcing them to go Send to death!"

But he calmed down very quickly. This time, maybe he really wanted to die, but as long as the situation of the Brotherhood of Holy Light could be changed a little, then what they did would be meaningful.

……

The barracks in Kieran Town is located in the southeast corner of the town, and now there are soldiers from various villages and towns in the north who have come to support them. Erwin's arrival has attracted many people's onlookers.

After all, the Brotherhood of the Holy Light had always been known as a rebel before, and Erwin, the rebellious leader, was one of the reward targets everywhere. Now that he came to the barracks openly, how could it not attract everyone's attention!

They were very curious, what ability does this rebellious leader have to escape from repeated investigations, and does the sorcery that can compete with the priest really come from the legendary holy monument?

However, they also heard about the convening order of King Nether, and they put aside the dispute for the time being, and jointly fought against the orcs.Otherwise, many people might have pulled out their swords on the spot and grabbed Erwin to receive the reward.

And when Erwin said that some volunteers were needed to go east with them to stop the orcs from going north, everyone was boiling. Some people clamored for Erwin to go away, and some people completely ignored Erwin's words.

However, some people showed expressions of serious thinking.

"Seventon warriors!" Erwin yelled.

But the next moment, he was interrupted by a priest who had just arrived, "Erwin, watch your words!"

Erwin glanced at him, and the holy power in his chest began to surge, but he still restrained himself. He knew that there was no Severton Alliance now, and there was only Netheril, a brand new country created by King Nether !

Fallen country!
However, the people of Severton have not disappeared!

"Soldiers, the orcs are not only beasts who come to die under the walls of Kilan Town. They will bypass this place and head north, destroying their homes and fields! Warriors, the people in the north need you!"

Not only do the people in the north need it, but they are also fighting for themselves. Once the fields are destroyed, will their parents, wives, and children die of starvation this winter?

Erwin did not use the holy power to increase the appeal, but his words were full of love for the land and the people, so how could the sincerity fail to move people's hearts!

Even the soldiers who had clamored to tell Erwin to go away began to think seriously, but after all, it was a mission that was close to death, and it was inevitable that they would hesitate when things came to an end.

Erwin also knew that it was impossible to require everyone to have a spirit of sacrifice, but those with the spirit of sacrifice could infect others, and soon the first fighter stood up.

At this time, the priest on the side spoke again, "Have you really thought about it? Do you really have the strength and courage to fight the orcs head-on? Your family is still waiting for you to go back safely in the north!"

The soldier hesitated at first, but soon became firm, "My lord priest, my family members have already died in the orc wave last year, even I almost died, if not for a passing paladin who saved me , it is impossible for me to live until now, now is my turn to pay!"

His words touched many people present, and they seemed to think of some things they had experienced. Somehow, they suddenly realized——

A paladin seems to have only infamy, but no evil deeds!
As a result, a few more people stepped forward, not knowing whether it was out of sympathy for the paladin, concern for their family members, or simply wanting to fight the orcs head-on.

Anyway, they stand out!
"Treason!" The priest whispered, his eyes swept over these figures who took the initiative to stand up, as if he wanted to remember their appearance and be included in the list of rebels in his heart.

In a short while, nearly a hundred people stood up in the field. As long as there is a leader in this kind of thing, it will become easier and simpler later. After all, the more people there are, the higher the security will be.

And with the orcs' consistent style of destroying villages and farmlands, Kieran Town, which happened to be in their way, might be even more dangerous!
Some people really use it to sacrifice themselves and dare to fight to the death, some people have to fight for their families, some people don't want to be passive due to the situation, and some people want to speculate.

In short, as more and more people stood up, the faces of the priests who followed became more and more ugly, and they kept muttering "rebellion" and "rebellion" in their mouths!
But in the end, less than 100 people came forward, and Erwin looked serious. He was not worried about himself, but worried about the nearly [-] people and those who were going to starve in winter because of the destruction of their fields.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the priest beside him, and said solemnly: "Priest Gretat, only these people are still too few, and you also know what will happen if the orcs are rampant. I need to go to the temporary barracks to gather more volunteers." By!"

"Don't you still have those brothers of yours? They should be enough!" Priest Gretat said casually.

"No, I can't say enough!"

Erwin stared at Gretat firmly and did not back down. He was willing to make sacrifices for the people and his brothers, but only if the sacrifice was valuable and meaningful.

He had to consider the feasibility of blocking the northward advance of the orcs and minimize the losses in the north.It is too unrealistic to dream of stopping the orcs with less than a hundred people, this is simply murder!

If he had to do this, he would rather not bring these nearly a hundred people!

He can sacrifice himself, but he is unwilling to force others to sacrifice!

Erwin's firm attitude of refusing to give in an inch made Gretat very annoyed, but thinking of Priest Valisi's instructions and King Nether's secret order, he had to temporarily suppress his anger, approached Erwin, and said in a low voice. said:

"Up to 200 people, this is our bottom line!"

"No, at least 300 people, this is my bottom line!"

300 people is the minimum number of people Erwin is sure to stop the orcs. If it is less, it may not be able to stop the orcs, and the sacrifice is just a sacrifice!
Gretat took a deep look at Erwin, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Yes, but you must let your men enter Kieran Town to assist in the defense!"

Not all rebels who master magic are good at fighting, there are always some who are not good at it, and their magic can also play a certain role in defense, and at critical moments——

Gretat snorted coldly in his heart, stood at the final bottom line, and also did not retreat at all.

Now it was Erwin's turn to make a decision. He didn't expect that the gang of fallen people were still playing tricks when the orcs were almost in front of them.

It seems that the reconciliation of Nether King this time was just a conspiracy. Erwin was completely disappointed with these people, and he finally made up his mind to show his cards!
