Mercenary/ Warrior Villagers

I would like to put forward a new Villager class named the Warriors. 

There would be at least 1 or 2 in a village at a time, that all wear armor and hold weaponry such as swords or crossbows. They would help the Iron Golem defend from mobs, and would have higher than average health. 

They would attack the player if they harm any villager, or are perhaps caught stealing from chests. Their spawn block could perhaps be an Armor Stand unless anything new can be made to accomodate. 

They would be able to trade PvP items for the player such as swords or arrows, however there would also be the option to buy their services with emeralds, in which the warrior villagers follow you and would help protect and defeat nearby mobs that try to attack you, like a separate party member. Like a wolf but perhaps more intelligent. Useful for taking into areas like the Nether or helping defeat large waves of mobs in spawners. A Level up system for these villagers could also be implemented in which they get stronger the more mobs they kill.

Please upvote! Hopefully this gets seen

    Wow! This is honestly a perfect way to add in Villagers that can stand their ground against hostile mobs.

    Additionally, they could help you defend Villages during Pillager Raids alongside the Iron Golems, especially since it would add more variety to the kinds of mobs that would help you during raids.

    Their hiring block could be the Target Block (redstone dust and haybale, already in Minecraft Bedrock, and possibly Java), as a 'untrained'.

    Archers and Crossbowmen would trade mostly with the Flesher and consume Arrows if dropped, otherwise they have a wooden sword as a secondary

    Fighters can have leather armor and stone swords, being the cheapest mercenary to hire.

    Tanks can have Iron armor at best or chainmail at worst, with stone swords at worst/iron at best, and are the most expensive to hire/level up.

    Clerics can act as healers IF AND WHEN the warriors get close (i don't wanna see clerics die mid-raid), acting like passive healers (Non-combat).
