Taking the point the Dwarf delivered Lucian did as he was told and walked infront of the men. Each of these men were Peasants that the Squire previously fought alongside with, many of them being the cravens who fled the battlefield when their Lord fell in battle.
In his right hand was the Scythe that was carried all the way from Verac. The weapon gleaming with reinforcements as Adok slowly made numerous adjustments to the weapon during their travels across the Duchy of Bastonne. He could feel the slight weight of the chainmail upon his body. It was in a sense the responsibility that he was now carrying on behalf of Count Remon.
There were several dozen men, maybe close to a hundred. Some of them were those who joined willingly upon hearing that a Nobleman needed Peasants, others were picked from the town below by Yeoman searching for volunteers.
They were his people, in the end.
He felt a little fear but that was quelled. Nothing was as fearful as death and he was a warrior who served Morr.
“Th-thank you all for coming here today.” Lucian felt his heart leap as his own words struck his ears. A reflex coming from the time that he was on the receiving end of the declaration, “Today we meet to prepare for the coming March. In three days Duke Guion, the Lord of Bastonne, shall have us march against the Orcs in a final battle. I, Squire Lucian of Verac, shall be your commander in place of Count Remon.”
In an instant there were murmurs within the crowds of Peasants. Lucian could not hear the words spoken but that did not matter. He was carrying the words of a Nobleman, and yet they spoke at the same time. That was something even he, a Peasant, knew never to do.
“B-be quite!” Lucian yelled but to no avail.
He could hear it now, the murmurs carrying words like damned, gone, and destruction. The title that he so gravely earned was upon the numerous whispers of these men.
“G-get away from us!” One of the Peasants said as he threw a rock in the direction of Lucian, “You’re damned, DAMNED!”
>Make them fear you
>Punish the Violation
>Kill the man
>Ask Adok to help beat them all into submission.
