When Diego and his party entered the camp, they didn't cause much movement.
Guarding the gate were two guards who had seen them, and when they saw their arrival, one of them hurriedly opened the wooden door, while the other hurriedly ran towards the camp, apparently to report it.
The camp was littered with soldiers, sitting or standing, most of them covered in bloodstained bandages, some whispering to each other, others taking care of their equipment, but no one dared to speak loudly, as if there was a gloomy mist enveloping the place.
Diego could see the low morale in the eyes of the dejected soldiers.
Diego led his horse to the largest tent in the camp, but before he could get closer, the tent curtain was lifted and a group of people poured out of the tent.
At the front was Brother Samuel, and when he saw Diego and them, he opened his arms and greeted them.
"Diego, you're finally here."
He shouted happily, and Diego could clearly see the expression on his face visibly relaxed.
Diego and Samuel hugged each other.
"Looks like you're out of luck?"
He asked playfully.
"As you can see, we've lost the battle.
You're welcome, just laugh at us.
The monk was ashamed to say that after Diego's bitter persuasion, they were still rushing forward, which could no longer be described as reckless, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were stupid.
But Diego was noncommittal.
Now that he has come, everything will be fine, he has this confidence.
He glanced at the welcoming crowd a few times.
It was found that there was no sign of the priest girl inside.
"Sophie is taking care of the wounded."
Looking at Diego, who was a little absent-minded, Brother Samuel whispered.
He turned his head and pouted toward the west side of the camp.
Following his direction, Diego saw a rectangular tent near the western wall with the emblem of the Church of the Light on it.
Next to the tent, there was a beautiful girl.
Seeing Diego look over, the girl waved her hand with a slightly red face.
Then he took refuge in a tent.
Diego swears that in his two lives, nearly thirty years of life, he has never been so thrilled as this moment.
This kind of sweet feeling is something I have never experienced when I was dating my girlfriend in my previous life.
As if in an instant, joy erupted from his heart like fireworks, and Diego felt that the world suddenly seemed colorful.
The originally gray and gloomy twilight forest seems to have become vivid.
"She beckoned to me, she beckoned to me."
Diego cried out in his heart like a big boy, his body was his age, he didn't even know what he had to do to express the joy that was almost overflowing.
He looked at Brother Samuel, eager to give the old paladin another hug and let him share his happiness.
I have to say.
The old friar was a clever man, and while Diego was so cheerful that he was at a loss, Brother Samuel whispered behind him, "Hey.
Steven, don't hide, come out.
You can't hide like this for the rest of your life. ” Diego saw Reinier's embarrassed face peeking out from behind the monk.
"Hey, monk, can't you just make me happy a little longer?"
As if seeing a tiresome bed bug, Diego said with a grumbling heart.
"I'm sorry, Diego.
I should have listened to your advice, not so recklessly.
Rainier said wryly.
For a moment, Diego really wanted to knock the reckless creature to the ground, kick it a few more times, and stomp that face into the mud, but he finally held back—the joy of seeing the priest girl again made him more patient.
"For Brother Samuel's sake, I forgive you, but you'd better pray that the soldiers who have been wounded or even killed for your wrong decisions will be as generous as I have," Diego said coldly, his tone very stern - he felt the need to leave a deep enough memory on the young man, he pushed Reinier away and walked into the tent, "Tell me what's going on?"
” Rainier, who had been granted amnesty, hurriedly recounted.
In fact, what happened was very simple, and it didn't deviate too much from what Diego expected.

Yesterday evening, while he and Masrae were still blowing a cool breeze by the river, Rainier launched an attack on the undead entrenched in Raven Ridge.
Although they had arrived a full day earlier than Diego because of the road they had taken, ordering the soldiers, who had been tired and hungry after a day's journey, to fight another solid battle, it could only be said that the desire to reclaim the territory had clearly made him lose his mind.
After repeated attempts to persuade him to no avail, Samuel had no choice but to let him mess up like this.
In fact, if it weren't for the expected rout, the monk led the would-be novice paladins to desperately withstand the tidal wave of undead counterattacks, they probably wouldn't have been able to keep this makeshift camp.
After listening to Reinier's account, Diego fell into deep thought.
But he didn't have any good way, to be honest, Diego never felt that he had any outstanding talent in military affairs, before the crossing, he was just an ordinary engineer, he had never been a soldier, he had never fought a war, he had never learned any art of war, and he did not know military command at all.
In fact, even during the military training in college, he just practiced for a few days as if he was walking in unison and walking in steps, and he didn't touch the gun a few times.
It would be better to count on him to command the army than to hand it over to Brother Samuel, who at least had more experience.
The role of him and Masrae should be more reflected in solving each other's high-end combat power, to put it bluntly, they are two high-level fighters.
He still has this self-knowledge, and he is not stupid enough to insist that a layman command an insider.
"Wait for the soldiers to heal from their wounds, and then we will decide on our next move."
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally only held back this sentence.
Brother Samuel and Rainier were dumbfounded—it was no different from what they had previously discussed.
But looking at the camp full of wounded soldiers, it seems that there is no better way.
Over the next few days, the entire camp was in action in preparation for the upcoming battle.
Thanks to the presence of the priests, the wounded soldiers recovered much faster than expected.
This has given people hope again.
Ms.
Laureana set up a small pulpit in the camp to preach the word of light to the people.
For the soldiers of the Rainier family, this sermon was timed to fight these undead creatures and need the protection of the Light, and it completely ignited their fighting spirit for evil.
As far as Brother Samuel and his paladin reservists were concerned, there was no need for this, and the belief in the Light was deeply engraved in their bones.
During this time, Diego often went to the wounded barracks and asked the priest girl for some tips on how to use the power of the Holy Light, although he also benefited a lot, but the drunkard's intention was not to drink in his mind, not to mention the two parties, even the grooms in the camp could see it.
However, although the priest girl was not averse to Diego's frequent arrivals, the reserved girl did not show him any special feelings, just like an ordinary friend.
You know, even though the Church of Light does not prohibit priests from marrying, the church also emphasizes fidelity to love and marriage, so in this era, girls are still very cautious and conservative about their flower crowns.
However, Diego never Meng Lang, he still knows how to measure, and he never interferes with the girl's normal work.
As she cast healing spells on the wounded soldiers, he watched quietly.
Looking at this girl who was as pure as a lily, looking at her angelic face and figure, longing to take her into his arms; Sometimes, when he helped to hand bandages or other things, and accidentally touched the girl's white and tender fingers, he would feel soft all over his body, as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and lose all the strength of his body; More often, in the cramped tent, when he inevitably approached the girl and felt the fragrant smell she emanated, he always felt that his heart was full of warmth and satisfaction.
Diego knew that he would never fall in love with another girl in his life.
