our family is gone

Chapter 38 Calculation
Hand over the people to Barristan and take them first, just to maintain order at the scene, and then Lance asked someone to set up a sign in the middle of the square, posting all the New Deal on it.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, he has arranged for someone to read the explanation.

At the same time, Lance set up a booth and began to register those people in detail, and they were also applying for positions.

Only with the documents issued by him to prove his identity can he participate in the work, and this is also required for receiving wages.

For those who really helped him these days, such as those prostitutes, Lance arranged better jobs for them, so that they could survive on their own and get rid of everything in the past.

All of this is going on in an orderly manner, and Lance shows great energy in handling everything, meeting and getting to know those people one by one.

He is further strengthening his prestige and concentrating power, which makes the townspeople recognize him and understand him.

Let the townspeople know that everything is given by the lord now, and nothing else is nothing without the lord's nod.

This situation continued as the night fell, a huge bonfire was on the square, and several large pots were placed around it, with food stewed in it, as well as the baskets of black bread.

For today's meal, Lance even ordered to kill a pig, but it couldn't be divided, so he cut the meat into pieces and added it to the porridge and stewed it.

Each person had a bowl of meat porridge, a bowl of mixed stew, and a black bread. For the first three days, they only ate what they had, but tonight they were full and had some meat.

This also made them believe that the lord can lead them to live a good life, and looked forward to tomorrow's arrival even more.

Lance and the others started a small stove alone, and a large portion of grilled pork chops was brought up, and they quickly shared the food.

After drinking and eating, a few people talked about today's events.

"My lord, how do you know that those townspeople will be in turmoil?"

Disma also admired Lance's clever calculations even more. He was arranged to hide among those people in disguise early in the morning, so Lance was able to accurately find those who took the lead in making trouble.

"Because the corruption has spread, although you can't feel it, I can see that many of them have been affected." Lance said something specious with that look of God.

Of course he can't see the so-called spread of corruption, he just relies on speculation about people's hearts.

There are more than 800 people. It is impossible to say that there are no troublemakers here. In addition, those people have never eaten free food. Now I feed them for three days. that state.

So they will definitely make trouble, the difference lies in the intensity of the trouble.

And Lance's intention to transfer the people who maintained order was to indulge them intentionally. He hoped that these troublemakers would make trouble.

Only when there is trouble, can he identify the restless guys hiding inside, and he has a reason to arrest a group of laborers to fill the farm.

This is a very real problem, that is, he transferred all the workers from the farm, resulting in a shortage of manpower there.

In other words, he needs to find a way to replenish the farm with serfs, and these criminals who don't need money are the best choice.

So this is a trap set by Lance, just waiting for those guys to be unable to bear the temptation.

Also in order to control the intensity of the turmoil, they were suppressed by Thunder as soon as they emerged, and everything was under Lance's control.

The restless troublemakers are cleared, his authority is consolidated, and the policies are implemented, the law and order of the territory will increase, and the farm can also replenish labor.

But these calculations couldn't tell them, Lance directly changed the subject and asked a question.

"The town has temporarily stabilized. Who do you think is our main enemy now?"

"Of course it's those cultists, they did all of this." Disma blurted out directly, he desperately needed the blood of the enemy to wash away his shame.

"No~" Lance shook his head slowly, "It's bandits. I think bandits are our biggest threat now."

Lance's argument caused them to think, and they began to explain without waiting for them to say anything.

"Those cultists are busy dealing with the seal and have no time to deal with us, but the retreat of the bandits was only temporary.

Now more than ten days have passed, the supplies they plundered are about to run out, and there are no caravans on the old road, the bandits who can't get replenished will definitely rob the town again.

And if we want to fight against the evil gods, we need more people and more equipment, and these require us to further develop the town's economy, but now the bandits are entrenched on the old road and robbing the passing merchants, so it can't develop at all.

So whether it is for the safety of the town, for better economic development, or to fulfill my promise to avenge the dead townspeople, the bandits must be wiped out. "

As the saying goes, "to get rich, build roads first", so if you want to develop a small town, you must open up the only channel to the outside world - the old road, otherwise, with his current consumption, no matter how much money he spends, he will be sitting on nothing.

What's more, Lance also needs more sacrifices to obtain gifts to enhance his strength. His own people cannot be killed, but bandits can~
The bandits will be suppressed at any time, if not suppressed!
After the enemy was determined, all the topics gathered together.

"Barristan, you participated in the war at that time. Let's start here and talk about the situation at that time."

Although I heard the situation of the two wars before, but the perspectives are very different.

As a veteran, Barristan's analysis of the battlefield can give Lance a great reference.

In the narration, Barristan did not participate in the first time, but came here when he heard about the bandits in the nearby towns. When he came, the war had not yet fully started, and the bandits had no artillery.

In his impression, the strength of the bandits is also uneven, most of them are at the level of ordinary bandits, but some bandits with white fur are particularly strong.

These elite melee fighters are all wearing armor. The musketeers are very accurate in marksmanship and like to shoot cold shots. It is difficult to find their positions, but there should not be many of them.

There is a church knight in the town, and the mercenary guild also has a lot of strong mercenaries, plus the guards and militias of various caravans, the strength of the total is not much different, so the two sides are in the stage of pulling.

This lasted for a while, until suddenly one day, a large number of gunmen appeared, and they also launched several cannons, directly destroying the line of defense and storming into the town to burn, kill and loot.

"Where did these people get the artillery? Usually bandits can't get this kind of thing." Disma questioned. He was also in this line of work before, but he had never heard of any bandits capable of snatching artillery.
