our family is gone

Chapter 316
With Lance gone, he didn't have much time to waste entertaining them.

After going out to suppress bandits and train soldiers for a few days, there are many things waiting for him to deal with in the town.

The woman was waiting outside, and when she saw Lance coming out, she hurried into the reception room to meet the elder.

"Elder?"

A voice with some doubts awakened the old woman from her thoughts, but she shook her head and whispered to herself.

"I thought that I came here to endure humiliation for the Roma, but I didn't expect that it was an outsider who really endured for the Roma..."

The woman didn't understand the inexplicable words, so she could only ask instead: "Elder, what should we do next?"

She didn't ask what was discussed in the meeting just now, nor did she ask what the result was, but she directly asked what she needed to do. Sometimes this is the real smart person.

"Go see Tamara and the two of them. There are some things that need to be explained. I hope they can understand us."

Lance kept his promise and did not restrict their activities. Their carriage left the training camp and drove into the small town of Hamlet.

It's just that the old woman didn't care to appreciate this bustling town, but found the two Roma carriages with her extraordinary power.

In fact, since the last time, Tamara and the two left Lance's house, but came to the residential area of ​​the town.

"I'll call them over."

"No, I'll go there in person." The old woman rejected the woman's proposal, and it was pointless to show the elder's face at this time.

The woman didn't say much, but stood aside respectfully.

Although the elder didn't show it all the way here, his every move was full of majesty, but after coming out of there just now, the whole person's aura disappeared, and he became like an ordinary person. She didn't know what happened inside , but also know that the impact is huge.

Tamara heard the movement outside, and when she opened the car door and saw the old woman, her attitude softened.

"Elder, please come in."

The old woman entered it, and when she saw the situation inside, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Son, you've worked hard all these years~"

"It's okay, at least I didn't lose control." Tamara said nonchalantly, but no one could hear the strong resentment.

Back then, he lost consciousness because of an inexplicable scene spied in an astrology ceremony. When he woke up, he said that he would lose control and give up on himself. That's why he was unwilling to run away.

Mentioning this now is nothing more than teasing their judgment back then. I have been separated for so many years, and I am not evil without your seal.

The old woman obviously knew what happened back then, and had thoroughly understood Tamara's situation before coming here, and understood that no matter whether it was an apology or anything else, there would be no good results, so someone needed to take the blame.

"We elders actually didn't know the exact situation about you back then, because this matter..."

He set up a target, and then fabricated the struggle and persecution within the organization, and in a few sentences, all the responsibilities were pushed to the bottom.

In the end, it was explained that their elders only knew about it because of the incident, so they came here by themselves, just to clear up the misunderstanding of the year and reverse the case for her.

The identity of the elder has always been a filter for Tamara, so her hatred naturally turned to the teacher's opponent, thinking that what happened back then was the opponent's slander.

"Back then, your teacher did this to protect you, so are you willing to bring your talent back to the organization and prove yourself to them?"

"Of course!"

Tamara was still too young, and once she was seen through her heart, she was taken down with just a few words.

At the same time, this also shows that the old woman is actually really scary. Her incompetence is more of helplessness under pressure, because she is facing Lance.

An impeccable man.

Compared to the rebellious Tamara, Amanda's attitude has always been very conservative. The old woman just met her once and calmed her down with a few words.

After comforting the two of them, the old woman did not leave in a hurry, but started to contact other elders.

The psychic network in the empire has indeed failed, but as an elder, she has special means.

The old woman communicated with other people exactly what happened. To be honest, the current situation far exceeded their expectations at the time.

"This person is destined to occupy a place in this world in the future. I suggest that these things should not be charged, and these things should be given directly to him as a favor."

The old woman spoke violently, and this sentence immediately aroused the opinions of other elders...

On the other side, Lance and Grindel walked in the refugee camp set up outside the town and talked about the past few days. Everything else was on the right track, and the only important thing was the reception of refugees.

Then he heard the incident that happened not long ago, and gave him a lot of fun.

"It's still shifting. If I were present, I would directly ask someone to fork her out."

Translating is not jumping in the queue, and playing with him like Kong Yiji, right?
Greendale was very calm, talking about the most rational solution.

"There is a shortage of teachers now. I think she can actually be sent to labor reform, and she should still be able to use it if she suffers a little bit."

"No, no matter how good this kind of rubbish is, let alone recruit it into the school." Lance didn't mean to be joking, but emphasized very seriously, "The school is the future of Hamlet, and the teacher's ability can be worse. But the quality is definitely better.”

Everyone in Lansby knows what students represent. The corruption of a regime is inevitable, but as long as there are fresh blood to replace it in time, it can develop and continue.

But once the education system is rotten, the blood will be polluted...

Greendale didn't know why the lord had such a big reaction, so naturally she didn't talk about it again, but talked about the situation of refugees these days.

The composition of the refugees is different, and the proportions are also different.

In the past, they were farmers who could not survive, dragging their families and fleeing famine, but now it is the urban population affected by the war to escape the war.

The advantage is that the quality of these refugees is much better, and there are many artisans and literate people found in the preliminary screening.

"More than 300 people came to Hamlet in just a few days, and the number is still increasing. The pressure we face will be increasing. Many people have caused trouble in the past few days."

"After the three-day process is over, ordinary people are scattered and assigned to various farms to open up wasteland, and artisans arrange work for them. These few blacksmiths can ease the needs of the people.

Those who are literate can take a survey. I plan to set up schools in several farms, which is simple literacy, free for everyone.

If anyone makes trouble, send me directly to the north. The project to develop the wilderness is short of people. "

There is nothing strange about what Lance said, it is what he has been doing all along.

But what makes Grindel feel strange is that he was in power for a short time before, but he took it back after he came back, and he was also assigned to study the legacy of the witch.

So when she came back this time, she already had the preparations for the handover, but she obviously didn't mean to take back the power just now.

On the contrary, he signaled himself to continue to deal with this matter. Why?

"Do you have anything else to do?" Grindel said directly. It was agreed between the two parties. If you have something to say, just talk about it, and don't engage in any intrigue.

"Well, after some time, Geralt and the others should be back. I will lead my troops to thoroughly clean up the remaining cult forces in the wilderness, so that the results of our large-scale development can be guaranteed. When I leave, things in the town I can rest assured only if I leave it to you."

Lance directly explained that there was nothing to hide, but he also realized that he should pay more attention to her.

"How is your research? Will it be stressful?"

"There is a sample, the fungus has been cultivated, and it is now being improved according to the conditions you gave, and it may take a little time."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry to say it. After following me, I didn't enjoy the blessings. Instead, I suffered all the hardships."

"The stronger Hamlet is, the more likely my vengeance will succeed."

Grindel's words let Lance understand that there is still no real let go between the two, and she still takes revenge as her everything.

"I said that this matter is my business, you don't have to think about it, I will solve it when the time comes."

Lance took this matter over arbitrarily, emphasizing that the two have a common goal.

Without waiting to continue, the news that Geralt's team had returned made both of them calm down.

"go!"

Lance rushed over quickly with Grindel, and saw the team who had obviously experienced battles and was in a bit of a bad state.

"How is it? You are not injured, are you?"

"It's okay, but we have important information to report to the lord."

"Come in first, sit down and drink some water." Lance was not in a hurry to know, and instead greeted a few people to enter the room.

"This is the map we drew." Geralt presented the map, and then began to describe what happened to him.

The Ascension Sect abandoned the camp and withdrew from the wilderness, but left some small groups of troops wandering in it.

"It's a very reasonable arrangement. They know that once they get together and we find them, they will be surrounded by the army. On the contrary, spreading out and harassing them in this way will involve most of our energy."

Lance looked at the several abandoned camps that Geralt and the others found on the map, and quickly guessed their plan.

In fact, during the many confrontations here, Lance has gradually realized that the power of the Ascension Sect is not very powerful, and its composition is also a pyramid structure. Most of them are ordinary believers. The extraordinary power is not a bad street, it only occupies a small part .

Well, the ancestor also realized this after being knocked out of several camps by Lance, and it was reasonable to adopt this method to deal with it.

In fact, this also proves from the side that Hamlet's current overall strength is actually not much worse than that of the Ascension Sect.

"We think so too, but now I think the greater threat is not those cultists, but the monsters that haunt here." Geralt raised his hand and pointed on the map, which was the entrance to the sewer.

"Monster..." Lance looked at the pointed position and murmured.

He probably guessed something, and this guess was later confirmed in Geralt's description.

They found the Pigman's whereabouts, and based on this they found the entrance that had been destroyed.

"This is the skin of a monster we hunted." Geralt took out the cloth bag he had prepared earlier and opened it.

There was a strong stench mixed with a rotten smell, but Lance didn't mind it. He unfolded the skin in the past, and part of it was similar to human skin, but soon the characteristics of a pig appeared on it.

Grindel looked at it curiously. There were a lot of monsters in the mountains. I even heard that there was a rat-man monster that looked like a mouse but could stand upright. Under the mountains.

But this is the first time I have seen or even heard of this pig-like monster.

"What on earth did the Ascension Sect do inside? They even created these disgusting monsters!" Lance showed a look of confusion and puzzlement, and at the same time revealed strong disgust.

Of course he knew that the existence of pigmen was created by the ancestors, but this blame must be blamed by the Ascension Sect, and he could only "hate it".

However, he did not continue to delve into the origin of the pigmen, but turned around and asked Geralt and the others for a price.

"Okay! This news is worth 48 gold coins, plus the [-] gold coins for the map, and my subsidy of [-] gold coins for your equipment maintenance, the total is [-]."

Lance waved his hand and put a heavy bag on the table, the crisp sound of the collision made people feel inexplicably happy.

"I've worked hard for you these few days, go and rest first."

Geralt and the others didn't respond much, and simply divided the money.

But Tardiff was also quite excited when he got twelve gold coins in his hand. Walter was right, it was not bad to spend money with this lord.

As for danger?Bounty hunters do what they do with their heads pinned to their waistbands.

As long as the money is enough, even a god will dare to chop an axe.

Geralt and the others backed away, and Lance turned to Grindel, "What do you think of this?"

"Obviously, the reason why the cult gave up was that it was difficult to deal with the army's encirclement and suppression, and on the other hand, I'm afraid it wanted to release these monsters to deal with us and slow down our pace."

"Yes, what should we do now?"

"The cult squads are scattered all over the place. These are elite squads. Even Geralt and the others are under pressure. If our army goes in, not only will we not be able to find them, but they will also be easily led by the nose, and they will be broken up in the end.

In the same sewer, even if I don't know the specific situation inside, I know that the terrain is definitely not suitable for large-scale troops to enter. Similarly, if guns and artillery can't be used, our army is weaker than monsters.

So the best way is to find a way to blow up the hole, completely seal the route of the monsters, and then continue to advance the wilderness development plan according to the original plan. The cult squad is self-defeating. "

Greendale analyzed the current situation, and the army is not suitable for attacking at this time.

And her meaning is very simple, regardless of the beast den, fully develop the wilderness, when the army marches to the ruins of the old city, those cultists will return to defense, it is a must to save the enemy, no matter how small you are, just rely on your strength to crush the past .
