Our family is in decline

The soldiers driving the carriage immediately turned the carriage around and formed a circle, then took out the breastplates and helmets from the carriage. Everyone helped each other put them on. Although they were matching IWC brands, they did have a protective effect.

Then five people stood on the protruding platform of the carriage with loaded crossbows, using the carriage as a cover and prepared to shoot. The remaining five picked up spears and stretched them out from the gap to defend against the bandits who wanted to attack the carriage formation.

In a short period of time, the convoy turned into an armored hedgehog. This is a typical tactic used by ordinary caravans to deal with bandits.

But this situation cannot worry the leader. He has eaten too many caravans like this.

As long as they kill one or two people in a few waves of feints, they will mutiny.

Will they still be able to outrun the horse by then?

What surprised the leader was that the knight did not enter the car formation.

what's the situation?

The leader suddenly didn't react, because the man was actually charging towards him on horseback.

Surprise and confusion were not only reflected on the leader, but other gangsters were also shocked when they saw this scene.

How dare he?

Do you want one person to fight against more than twenty of you?

"Hey! Brothers, kill him." The leader felt that he had been underestimated and roared immediately.

The other gangsters were also aroused and wanted to make this reckless idiot suffer.

I don't care who you are, you will die here today.

Leonard didn't feel any more emotions because of the gangster's reaction. He remained silent, his calm eyes looking at the enemy through his helmet, and he clenched the sword in his hand.

"Go to hell!"

The two sides approached, and the leader raised his warhammer high and smashed it down on Leonard, his face full of ferocious force.

At the moment of contact with the enemy, Leonard changed from silence to erupting into terrifying power like a volcano.

The knight's sword swung out in his hand, and he killed the leader off his horse in a flash, but he did not rein in his horse and turned back, and rushed directly into the middle of the gangsters.

Those people did not have any fear because of the leader's fall. They all rushed forward and waved their weapons towards Leonard.

"boom!"

There was a sudden gunshot and one person was knocked off his horse, but it was the gangster who fell to the ground.

In the chaos, not many people cared about this, because they also had muskets, until Leonard killed two people and passed through the enemy formation.

Immediately afterwards, continuous gunshots rang out, and more and more companions fell down. Only then did they react.

"There are musketeers!"

As he spoke, another person turned over and fell with the sound of gunfire. The remaining gangsters realized that something was wrong, but at this time only half of the twenty were left.

"escape!"

I don't know who screamed, and the rest immediately rode on horseback to run away, but at this time they discovered that the car formation in front had blocked the road ahead. If they wanted to leave, they had to knock the carriage away. For them with less than ten people, Say it's impossible.

Only then did they discover that the real role of the team was here.

These gangsters who have been licking blood from the tip of their knives all year round hesitated for only a moment, and in the next second they turned their horses and charged towards Leonard again.

The first charge was an attack, but the second charge turned into an escape. They lost the arrogance they had at the beginning and couldn't even speak. Their morale was actually suppressed when facing Leonard alone.

But the sound of gunfire would not stop. The superior armor-piercing performance of muskets compared to bows and arrows was demonstrated. The bullets fired from the dense forest on the side directly penetrated the chest armor and tore the muscles.

One after another, the gangsters were taken away by bullets, which further aroused their fear, but it did not help.

The distance of less than a hundred meters was like a natural chasm, isolating them from survival.

When they approached Leonard again, only one person was left.

Leonard did not kill him directly this time, but used the blade of his sword to knock the frightened gangster off his horse. Before he could escape, the tip of the sword was already pressed against his neck.

The situation was completely under control, and only lonely or even dazed horses were left in the fighting area. As for the people, they all fell to the ground, some of them were not dead yet and were moaning in pain.

At this time, Lance and Disma walked out of the wilderness on the side of the road.

Seeing as they don’t have many firearms on hand, why can they shoot so many guns in a short period of time?

Of course it depends on the showroom.

Generally, a flintlock gun is only loaded when preparing for a battle. It is impossible to keep it loaded and waiting to fire, because it will misfire, and the gunpowder will fail for some reasons.

But Lance doesn't have this worry. He only needs to put the loaded gun in the showroom, and then take it out when needed.

He kept thirty of the long guns he had captured. In this era where front-loading ammunition was needed, he could provide suppressive fire alone.

Moreover, after this period of practice, his hand feel improved and his accuracy also improved.

As soon as Lance came out, he went straight to the horses. There were twenty-two in total, three of which were accidentally injured by stray bullets.

There is nothing that can be done about it. The shooting accuracy of muskets is very poor, and the fighting is so chaotic that accidental injuries are normal.

This is why he is eager for gun manufacturing talents. He is not satisfied with the current weapons.

He directly went up to hold the wound, and when [Flesh and Flesh Reconstruction] was activated, the shrapnel was squeezed out by the muscles. At the same time, the horse became restless in pain, but fortunately it was still under control.

He rescued all three horses, and the ordinary soldiers who were so far away couldn't see what was happening here.

The order they received was to stand firm and stop all enemies. The duty of a soldier is to obey orders. This is the most important thing learned during training.

If possible, Lance still wanted to hide his extraordinary power from the people, and this was something that all rulers acquiesced to.

For example, both the empire and the church are covering up the affairs of the cult, and even non-commissioned officers like Patton are not qualified to know.

Knowing too much is too much of a psychological burden for them, and if the pressure is too high, they will fall into despair. At that time, whether they collapse or run away, the development of the territory will stagnate, which will be troublesome for him as a lord.

Only those whose wills have been tested and strong enough are qualified to know these things.

Maybe this is why the strength improvement in the game is divided by [Determination].

"Disma takes him away. I want to know their situation."

Disma skillfully grabbed the surviving gangster and dragged him to the woods, while Lance began to dispatch the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

With these few people, those who were not dead were sent away with a spear, and the things were thrown into the car. As for the horses, they were led together and walked on a rope. Everything was completed in less than five minutes.

"Don't take off your armor yet. Leonard, you lead the team to the town, and Disma and I will follow."
