6 [something, and it is a major event]
The bustling Stantam South Avenue has become a purgatory on earth.
The pedestrians fell in a pool of blood and cried and wailed, with debris scattered everywhere. A whole row of buildings next to them were burning, and thick smoke was rolling. Guards were coming to put out the fire in a water truck, and the whole city was in chaos.
Many people still had incredible expressions on their faces, as if they couldn't believe that all this was true. This is the capital of the Stantamsome region, the safest hinterland of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, how did orcs come in?
Orix and Bridget hurriedly joined the treatment work. Seeing the two Paladins with silver hands, people felt very at ease.
At the time of the incident, the execution ceremony was underway in the central square of the city, and the crowd was very dense. The sudden appearance of orcs made the city guards not have time to react, and the orcs rushed all the way through the south gate, causing great chaos.
In this accident, more than a dozen unlucky guards really died at the hands of orcs. Instead, the trampling caused by chaos led to thousands of casualties.
It took five or six hours before the fire in the city was controlled. As for those who were already burning, there was no way, so I could only wait for myself to burn it all.
Orix and Bridget were busy from noon to evening before dragging their tired bodies to the Alonso Chapel.
The branch of the Knights of the Silver Hands is next to this legendary chapel. It is composed of an open training ground surrounded by a circle of fences and a row of dormitories and other long wooden houses. While training, the Paladins stationed here provide free medical services to the public, such as bone sequencing and delivery.
Due to the large area, most of the injured in the city were transported here for treatment. When they saw hundreds of people lying, the Paladins walked through it, doing their best to help.
Holy spells are not omnipotent medicines. It is not non-existent to restore the dying people to life, but they are very rare. Paladins and priests do not have unlimited energy and cannot use healing spells to take care of every injured person. They have to focus on the seriously injured, and rely more on common medical supplies such as splints, bandages and herbs.
Uther, the leader of the Knights of Silver Hands, Saidan Dassorhan, one of the first human paladins, and many famous figures from later generations, such as the Ashes Messenger Alexandros Moglani and Ethan Leon, stood by the door with several officials in charge of city defense, discussing what happened together.
On weekdays, there wouldn't be so many heavyweights in Stantolome's Silver Hand branch. If it weren't for the trial of Tirio Fordin's co-opposition some time ago, they wouldn't have stayed here and participated in the execution ceremony at noon today.
Bridget went to help take care of the injured again, while Orix stood quietly behind the bosses.
...
"This is our dereliction of duty. If the city guards had not been too relaxed, the casualties of citizens would not have been so heavy." A man with an officer looked guilty.
"After this matter, don't say these things," Uther browed and said in a strong voice. "The most urgent thing is to reduce the losses as soon as possible."
He had no good expression on this deputy city defense garrison who had already dereliction of duty.
After the Second War, the Lordaeron military had become a place where dirt was hidden. The city defense force in Stantosom City has always been an excellent gilded place for military residents. Not to mention the deep hinterland is very safe, it is also the second largest town in China after the royal capital. After working here for three years and five years, he immediately jumped to a higher level when he went out.
The deputy city defense garrison dressed in this officer was the second son of a count of East Lordaeron. He was stuffed here for his lack of inheritance. This was the case, let alone the guards under his command.
Dassauhan sighed. The orcs were indeed powerful. They had an organization and had a chance to quickly escape with one blow, which was much stronger than those who had fought with him more than ten years ago. Moreover, looking at the leader's iconic black plate armor and warhammer, it is probably most likely that the legendary "gladiator chief" who liberated all his orc compatriots.
It is normal for such an elite army, led by such a powerful leader, that the city guards have no power to fight back. But it is said that the deputy garrison officer of the city defense is still to blame. At least he has to take the blame. Together with the confidants below, there is no hope of promotion in the future.
While everyone was talking, a dirt-filled knight entered the training ground. The mount under his crotch was so tired that he was covered in white foam and sweaty, just like he had just come out of the water. The knight was almost unable to sit steadily. He stopped the horse and fell down. After being helped up, he said breathlessly:
"I couldn't catch up with the orcs. They were extremely fast and headed straight for Andorhar area. They obviously wanted to escape from Lordaeron before we could react. Before I came back, they had crossed the Sodoril River... Kodor and the others were still riding griffins to monitor, but griffins couldn't fly for that long, and they probably had landed and rested now."
"Have you notified the towns and villages along the way?"
"I've notified that the news should have just arrived in Andorhar. I guess they will set a barrier along the way..." The Knight took the water bag handed over by his colleague, pulled out the plug, and started to pour it hard.
Uther nodded, turned to the deputy garrison officer of the city defense and said, "The fire is put to you, and we are responsible for the treatment of the injured."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the deputy garrison officer of the city defense and instead discussed other matters with his colleagues.
The deputy garrison officer of the city defense nodded deeply and left as if he was fleeing, as if he would feel relaxed only when he left the leader of the Knights. He was thrown here by his boss. Who wouldn't know if Lord Uther was upright and did not rub the sand in his eyes. But he was still the teacher of Prince Arthas. He had very old qualifications. In terms of status, even the nobles had to respectfully see him. If this happened, he had to come and express his opinion...
"This is crazy. What exactly do those orcs want to do? They ran from Hillsbrad Hills to Stantholm, bypassing all the checkpoints along the way, and garrisoned the troops just to save a compatriot?"
"Maybe that old orc has an extraordinary identity in the former tribe. Don't worry, I have informed the surrounding garrisons that they will closely search the Stantamsom area. If any orcs are still hiding nearby, we will pull them out..."
A bunch of big-name figures in the Knights said and said something, and finally fell silent as someone asked such a question - "Did anyone see Tirio?"
During the execution ceremony, they were all present. Watching Tyrio, who had been exiled, crossed the crowd to attack the guards and attacked the court. Later, the orcs came and the square was in chaos.
Although Tirio has been sentenced to collusion with enemies, treason, dismissed from his rank and paladin status, and has been branded with shame forever, no matter what, he is still a brother who fought side by side with them. No one wants him to die in this chaos.
After a long time, Dassauhan sighed, "I just looked for him and didn't find him in the body."
Uther's tense face eased, and he looked as if he was relieved, and quickly said, "Okay, stop talking about these things, go and do your own thing."
When a group of big guys left, Uther noticed Orix standing aside, "I'm glad to see you woke up, child. If nothing is wrong, go and help treat the injured."
"I have something to do," said Orix, "and it's a big deal about Lordaeron's fate."
