our family is gone

Chapter 91 Crisis of Trust
"Hahaha~ Only a child like you would believe those guys, who would believe him?" The man swiped his knife around and pointed at the people around him, laughing wildly, his twitching face looked extremely weird.

The surrounding townspeople also fell silent when they heard this. They wanted to believe that, after all, only by relying on the protection of the lord could they survive the looting of the bandits.

but……

Silence is the majority, and some show obvious distrust.

But at this time a person stood up.

"I believe him." The captain limped out with a wooden stick, "I believe the lord will drive those bandits away."

Seeing the captain who came out, Susan suddenly reacted.

It's the one who was rescued by the adults from the bandits!

By the way, other people didn't know that the lord had been making arrangements for the bandits before, and those rescued women still received them himself.

Based on this, the lord will not give up on them easily, but how can he doubt the lord?

Thinking of this, Susan also reacted, and comforted everyone.

"I can reveal here that the adults have always made arrangements for the bandits, and he will not give up on us."

Susan's status is quite special. She has always been the housekeeper responsible for passing on the arrangement of the lord, so her words are very persuasive in this situation.

She said that if there is, then there is, and these townspeople still want to trust the lord, after all, they can only rely on this, and the bandits only rob and kill.

"Shut up, you still want to lie to us!" The man became agitated, and the knife directly pressed a blood mark on Susan's neck, "Quickly tell them to get out of the way."

It's just that at this time, Susan has strengthened her trust in the lord, and she is not afraid of death threats at all, but instead commands loudly.

"Don't worry about me, as long as he catches him, the lord will not blame you."

Those people immediately set their eyes on the man when they heard it.

Now the man couldn't hold back at all, these people still believed in that nobleman.

"You guys, don't come here!" The man waved the knife in his hand.

And how would those ordinary townspeople have the courage to face this guy, only the captain walked towards him alone.

He didn't know, but he wanted to do something for these people to make up for his intense guilt.

Five steps... three steps...

The captain stopped suddenly and said something to the man.

"You are already dead……"

"What!" The man suddenly realized something, and wanted to withdraw the knife in his hand and point at Susan to threaten him.

But the captain moved faster than him, and the wooden stick in his hand pierced the air and made a "woo-woo" sound.

"Ah!" The man let out a scream in the next second, and the knife fell to the ground.

When everyone reacted, they saw that his hand holding the knife just now was directly smashed to bloody flesh, and he was clutching his arm and wailing.

Looking at the captain again, he had another perception.

To be honest, no one thought that the decadent man in front of him, who couldn't even walk steadily, would have such strength.

Susan broke away from the man's control, picked up the knife on the ground, and turned around to give instructions.

"Grab this guy!"

Today's men have no weapons, no threats, and are easily controlled.

It's just that after the pain passed, he also struggled and screamed.

"Before hundreds of experienced mercenaries failed to stop those bandits, do you really believe those few recruits who have only trained for more than ten days?

If you don’t believe me today, you will be buried with me when the bandits blow up the gate!
Bury me with you! "

Everyone was very anxious, because they had no way to control their own destiny and could only rely on others.

On the contrary, the captain seemed very calm.

What this man said is just to scare ordinary people. How can he not know the real situation?
The hundreds of bandits this man was bragging about, the artillery and guns, every word he said hit him in the face.

The lord just used a little strategy to make himself and those barbarians fight with each other.

And among so many bandits, only the two of them formed a team with muskets, armor, and cannons. Doesn’t he know about the rest of the rotten fish and shrimps? They don’t even have better weapons and armor. It's useless to gather 100 people.

Moreover, the lord had seized so many guns, ammunition, weapons and armor, and he was sure to stop those bandits with 30 of them.

Not to mention that the lord still has a few elites who are not weaker than himself, each of them is a warrior who can play a great role in special circumstances.

Guarding the stone bridge until night and then dispatching a small group of troops to harass them, only a few shots are needed to distract the bandits and win without a fight.

The captain had heard about the lord's deeds from many people, and these ordinary people couldn't see it. Could it be that he, who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, didn't understand?
It is also very powerful to be able to stabilize the town and eradicate threats in a short period of time, with both civil and military means, and bandits are not a problem at all.

Susan was about to speak out to appease everyone, but she never thought that suddenly the church door was knocked heavily, followed by shouts.

"Open the door!"

This movement instantly attracted everyone's attention, and that guy laughed wantonly.

"Hahaha! Here we come, here we come, none of you can escape..."

Others didn't have much contact with the lord, let alone the people around him, but Susan recognized that it was Disma's voice, and immediately comforted everyone.

"Don't worry, they are under the Lord Lord's command."

Speaking of which, Susan approached and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Disma, open the door quickly."

After confirming that it was me, Susan quickly directed everyone to put away the sundries and open the door.

Waiting is very painful. When the door opened, there was only Disma outside the door, which made everyone very anxious.

"Where is the lord? How is the situation? Are you holding it? Have the bandits left?" Susan asked eagerly. She was in the same mood as everyone else, and they all wanted to know the situation on the front line as soon as possible.

"What are you keeping? None of the bandits left, but all of them stayed behind." Disma looked a little strange when he heard this, as if he didn't understand why they would ask such a question.

Everyone turned pale when they heard his words, and they dared not leave the church when they heard that the bandits hadn't left.

Instead, it was the man who was caught shouting loudly.

"Hahaha! As I said, how could those guys be the opponents of the bandits, you idiots actually believed in that lord."

Disma noticed this person and frowned, but the unfinished words still blurted out.

"Under the leadership of the lord, we wiped out all the bandits. None of the bandits can leave Hamlet alive."
