At night in the spring of the 4th year of Darkness, the Kingdom of Stormwind City, a farm beside the Crystal River outside the North Gate Valley, in a dilapidated chapel.

"Claire, are there any survivors?"

"No more, only two babies were found. One of them was seriously burned. It was no longer possible. This week, the chapel was the only complete building. The others were destroyed. The demons did not let go of any living creatures, any!" Claire was a little irritated. He had no idea why such a thing happened. The missionaries here just passed away a few days ago. The Brotherhood sent him and Lesa to hold a funeral here and take over as the old missionary. Just now, a company of soldiers went to Stormwind to change defenses with them. If there were no such soldiers, they might have become sacrifices from the beasts, just as the residents here.

"Claire, calm down, we did our best, right? You saved a life. You should be proud, and the Holy Light will be proud of you." As a baptism with Marda, Lesha knew Marda's character very well. What's more, the situation here is really bad.

"But if we can work harder, we might save more lives, right? We should..."

"Claire!" Lesa interrupted him. "No one wants this kind of thing to happen, those... beasts, demons, they are the culprits, and the Holy Light will punish them."

Claire was silent. The situation here seemed to be abandoned by the Holy Light. There were ruins and corpses everywhere, as well as traces left by the wild beasts sacrificed to the demons. Both babies were lucky. They were unconscious under the thick smoke of ruins. They were not discovered by the attackers, but one of the babies had just passed away because of their severe burns. Thinking of this, Marda clenched her fists again. They could not do anything except heal, but they could not heal the dead.

"Okay, Claire!" Lesa tightened the baby in her tight arms. The baby's sleeping little face was covered with black smoke. She didn't even have time to clean it for him. "We should rush back to report the information of the Archbishop as soon as possible. You know, those beasts have never arrived here. And this baby needs further inspection. He inhaled too much smoke. This is not the scope of the holy light." Lesa was a little grateful that the baby had caught a cold in addition to inhaling some smoke, but he was not hurt at all. It was really favored by the holy light.

"Okay, Lesa, I just hate my powerlessness. You are always stronger than me." Marda was a little ashamed. It was not the first time Lesa comforted him.

"Rev. Lesa, Rev. Claire." Lieutenant Cole pushed the door and interrupted them. This was a somewhat bald middle-aged veteran with a strong face full of reliability. If it weren't for his heroic battle and command, they would have died at the hands of those beasts. They were so terrible.

"Yes, lieutenant, how is it outside? Are there any soldiers who need help?" Claire wrote anxiously. This was the only thing he could do, except heal. He was not good at expressing himself and didn't even know how to soothe people.

"No, Reverend Claire, the orcs outside have been cleared. I need to rush to the town of Shepherd to report the situation here immediately. These orcs should not appear here." Lieutenant Cole paused for a brief moment. "I will send a team of soldiers to escort you back to the monastery. Please report the situation here of His Excellency the Archbishop."

"Okay Lieutenant. I will!" Claire knew that what happened here was very abnormal. Since the attack three years ago, these green-skinned beasts have not had such a large-scale raid on humans.

The lieutenant and the priest turned their heads and walked outwards. They were stopped by a rushing soldier.

"Lieutenant! We found other orcs! It's very close to the farm!"

“How many are there?”

"Many, lieutenant! 400.500. or even more. And they were all wearing armor. The soldiers' eyes revealed some fear. They only had one company, and the battle just now also lost a lot of soldiers. They could not be the opponents of these beasts!" They were blocking the necessary path to the town of Sheung Jin, and we couldn't get through, lieutenant!"

"We are no match for them, it seems that our plan needs to be changed!" the lieutenant turned his head and said to the priests. "Go out immediately, Sergeant Kothon will escort you. I will hold them here with the other brothers!"

"But you have less than 100 people! And those wounded people, my holy light cannot completely heal them. They need more thorough treatment!" Claire couldn't imagine how they resisted the attack of 500 beasts. "I will not abandon my brother, Lieutenant!" the soldier also shouted.

"There is no time for the pastor, let's go, the wounded will set out with you! Others need to stay with me! Please forgive me, I have no extra soldiers to send to you!"

The lieutenant turned his head to the soldiers. "Cothon, this is an order, you should be clear that at least 500 orcs rush into the unprepared monastery will not be better than here, do you understand?! You need to report the situation here immediately to the sheriff Captain Payne. "The lieutenant's voice has become a little harsh.

"Okay, Lieutenant, I'll be back!" The soldiers of Stormwind City did not have the habit of abandoning their brothers.

"Then, let's go, may the Holy Light shine on your way!" The lieutenant turned his head and gathered the soldiers loudly. "Ryan! Gray! Ragf! Farns! You follow Kothon to escort the priests, I don't have time to say extra nonsense to you! Follow the orders! The rest, gather at the farm!" The lieutenant did not give the named soldiers a chance to express his opinion. He had led the others to the farm.

"Let's go, Mr. Pastor, Miss Pastor. We need to rush back as soon as possible to be with our brothers!" The four injured soldiers nodded. They had the same idea. The soldiers of Stormwind City, their brothers who never left behind!
