Our family is in decline

"The current situation is that our development and growth has frightened those guys in the Ascension Sect. They are afraid that we will ruin their plans, so they want to introduce an enemy to disrupt our development and involve our energy."

Lance thought about it for a moment, and then slowly said: "It's not that there's nothing we can do about it."

"What do you say, sir?"

"Write a letter and tell your father that he was deceived by a group of Ascension cultists and ask him to send someone to pick you up." Lance looked at the fat man and emphasized, "Remember, this place is called Ovendo."

Several people on the ground looked a little strange when they heard this. Everyone knew that this place was called Hamlet, but why was it changed to Ovendo?

However, they knew that there must be some arrangement by the lord, and they had no intention of correcting it.

"Owendo?" The fat man exclaimed, "Damn it! My territory is called Hamlet. I came to the wrong place."

The fat man now knew why there was a lord here, and it turned out that he was going the wrong way.

"No, there is no territory called Hamlet around. You were deceived by them." Lance glanced at this guy, still thinking about his territory when he was about to die.

After driving the fat man down to write a letter asking for help, Disma couldn't wait to ask.

"Sir, why do you want to change it to Owendo?"

"Because he has to die no matter what, the hostility from his father is inevitable. Don't they want chaos? We just need to keep their target from Hamlet."

Lance couldn't possibly waste his troops on him. Since the ancestor took action, he would just take advantage of it and lead the war to other places.

According to the current strength, it will be very difficult for Lance to capture Ovendo City, and it will easily attract the attention of the outside world.

But if the fat man's father's power is used to cause chaos, it will be much easier for him to take action to recover it.

Not to mention that you can also take the opportunity to weaken the Ascension Cultists lurking in Owendo City.

The ancestor wanted to set up Hamlet as a target, but Lance set up Owendo as a target for them to hit, and he hid behind it.

"But sir, exposing the cult directly may attract the church's attention."

Leonard is a little worried. If there is no cult, it will be internal fighting among the imperial nobles. But now that he takes the initiative to propose this, I am afraid that the church will also pay attention to this and get involved.

And according to the usual practice, it would cause a bloody storm. In this way, it is indeed something that should be worried, but unexpectedly, Lance laughed directly.

"Hahaha! This is the effect I want."

When everyone was puzzled, Lance explained.

"The Ascension Sect can bring in the imperial nobles to attack us, so why can't we bring in the Church to involve them? Guess who is more anxious than us when the Church enters the scene?"

The ancestor thought that he was reluctant to part with the foundation of Hamlet and must help cover up the traces of the cult, but Lance's move was a warning to the old man.

Are you trying to be clever with me? I just want to tell you, either we can play slowly by ourselves, or we can all play together!

Without this courage, he would not be standing here today. He would have turned around on the old road.

This makes sense. Everyone understands the lord's strategic thinking, although it is a bit risky.

Lance could also guess their worries and couldn't help but comfort them.

"Don't worry, cities are different from villages and towns. Even the church can't just launch a war against a city of 30,000 people. The interests involved are too great.

Not to mention what happened in the club, it can be seen that Owendo City has definitely been seriously corrupted by the cult. Many bureaucrats are their people. These guys will definitely try their best to cover up this matter.

I guess in the end, the matter will be settled by pushing a few scapegoats, but it is a good thing for us. The church can involve their energy so that they have no time to take care of us, and gain more development time. "

Several people also understood the situation and couldn't help but admire the Lord's keen strategic thinking, being able to detect hidden plots and react quickly.

Lance's attention was clearly not here, and there was one more thing he hadn't said.

To be honest, he is eager to start a war. At that time, the unrest will cause a large number of people to move out of the city, and he will be able to suck Ovendo's blood to develop Hamlet.

Just like the rise of Ovendo.

But these words go against his personality and can only be hidden in his heart...

Since his life was at stake, the fat man quickly finished the letter and wrote three copies as ordered.

Lance looked at it briefly and had to say that he still had aristocratic background, and being able to read was beyond most people.

"Do you have any tokens or something to let your father know that it's you?"

Lance looked at the fat man. He couldn't send a finger or an ear to him.

"Yes, yes!" The fat man hurriedly took off a ring in his hand, "This is the symbol of our family, and father will definitely know it."

Lance took the item, which was not extraordinary equipment, and handed it over along with the envelope.

"Disma, I don't trust anyone else to do this. If you ride my horse to deliver this letter, they will definitely keep an eye on you on the way. Don't stop too much on the way. Send it by hand and come back."

"Understood." Disma took the things without any hesitation and turned around to go out. He knew that every second counts now.

But when things calmed down a little bit, the fat man was back to that look, smiling awkwardly and trying to run away.

"Hahaha... If it's okay, I'll leave first."

"Those cultists are thinking about killing you every day. Maybe the water you drank when you went out was poisoned. Anyone on the road might stab you with a knife. Are you sure you want to go out?"

Lance's words frightened the fat man, and he quickly begged Lance for mercy.

"I don't want to die yet... Hurry up and send someone to protect me."

"I'll take you to a good place. I'll probably see your father pick you up soon."

Lance grinned, looked at Leonard and signaled, "Send him to a nursing home."

And the fat man didn't know where the sanatorium was, so he said happily.

"When my father comes here, I will reward you heavily."

"Take it away~" Lance waved his hand, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Leonard understood what the lord meant and left directly with the fat man.

Watching the fat man being taken away, the smile on Lance's face gradually disappeared.

I have already offended him. With his vicious character, once he gains power, he will definitely cause trouble to regain face, so this guy cannot survive.

It can be said that Lance regarded the fat man as a dead person from the beginning, because he was happy to see Owendo in chaos, and only in this way could he profit.

He originally wanted to let Walter control Owendo by controlling food, but it was difficult and took a long time. Now the chaos has accelerated the process.

Ancestor, ancestor, thank you so much, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do anything to Owendo...

…………

Greendale's palms twitched, and she clenched them subconsciously, but there was no familiar feeling. She suddenly woke up and opened her eyes to look at the surrounding situation. After grabbing the staff on the bedside, she calmed down a little, and her eyes swept over the single tent.

"Are you awake?"

Boudica's voice drew her attention, and then she realized that she was actually sleeping on the bed, and the blind Boudica looked a little bored on the side.

"Why am I in bed?" Greendale recalled a little and only remembered that she fell asleep while chatting.

"Last night, the boss came to inspect the ward. When he saw you lying on the table, he brought an extra bed." Boudica complained with a hint of dissatisfaction, "You sleep like a bug in the mountains." You are restless, you sleep like a pig, but I was so disturbed by you last night that I didn't sleep well at all."

Boudica doesn't have so much scheming, but her straightforward character makes it difficult for many people to bear.

"I'm sorry..." Greendale was also a little embarrassed about this and quickly got out of bed to tidy herself up.

Escape all the way put her under great pressure, not to mention being besieged by witches and launching a long confrontation, all of which caused serious damage to her spirit. It can be said that her will would have been riddled with holes. If it were not for the support of hatred, I'm afraid he would have fallen down long ago.

But... I have to say that last night was actually the most peaceful night I slept since I escaped.

You don’t need to worry about the hunters of the Yalang tribe, you don’t need to worry about the ferocious beasts in the mountains, you don’t need to worry about the slave-catching teams with malicious intentions, and you don’t need to worry about a crazy guy who wants to transform himself into a monster. witch.

I'm afraid Greendale herself didn't even realize that her feelings about this place had changed unknowingly.

"Let me check it for you." Greendale didn't want to continue this embarrassing topic and stood up to check Boudica.

"When will my eyes heal?"

Boudica is not only physically stronger, but also protected by extraordinary power. Her recovery after taking the medicine is much better than that of those soldiers. The biggest problem for her now is when her eyes will recover.

I also have some thoughts about this Greendale...

"So you need some special herbs and are ready to go into the wilderness to find them, right?"

Lance looked at Greendale in front of him. Neither of them mentioned what happened last night, but he could see that her condition was much better after a night's rest, and she no longer looked haggard.

"Well, after studying the patient's condition, I roughly understand how to treat it, but I need some special herbs."

"I remember that the witch has a medicine field. There may be the herbs you need there. It just so happens that I am going to do a survey of the corrupted area with Paracelsus."

Originally, Lance was planning to go deep into the area to delineate the felling, and Paracelsus had always been interested in the corrupted area and wanted to collect specimens.

Greendale has no objections to this. Although she sounds a bit like surveillance, she also needs to get close to this person to observe him.

However, when he informed him, he attracted the opinions of several other people.

"Sir, the town has just stabilized. It is not appropriate to leave now."

"What if those cults organize another attack?"

"Your Excellency, you have been tired for so many days. Let me accompany the team to protect the two doctors."

Faced with their advice, Lance seemed very calm, raising his hand to suppress their words and throw out one sentence.

"The wilderness has not been fully explored yet. If even I dare not enter, how can those townspeople dare to develop the wilderness?"

Lance's words immediately made everyone speechless.

Developing the northern wilderness requires a lot of people, and the serfs on the working farm are definitely not enough. Some townspeople are destined to be mobilized. If even Lance doesn't dare to go in, what do you want ordinary people to think?

Several people also understood the Lord's painstaking efforts. He worked tirelessly to be at the forefront of everything. They only felt powerless and could not share the Lord's worries.

"Not only do I want to go in, but I also want to go out and go into the wilderness to find herbs for the wounded."

Lance wants to win the hearts and minds of the people and at the same time divert the people's attention to construction instead of worrying all day long. To do this, he needs to show off.

"And you need to pay attention to possible movements around you. We need to defend ourselves against enemies, make some traps, and set them up to repel horses..."

It's not that they have nothing to do after Lance leaves. On the contrary, the important task of protecting the territory has been handed over to them. Lance even plans to put the training location on the edge of the wilderness.

It can not only give those workers a sense of security, but also train them.

Lance made arrangements quickly. For him, time was extremely tight. In other words, the ancestor's moves were like whips on horses, constantly urging him to run.

They directly used a carriage to pull the three people and one wolf to the edge of the wilderness. The carriage rolled over scorched earth, and large areas of the fields were burned, leaving only charred soil and upturned roots.

In order to eliminate the harm of the fungus, Lance spent a lot of manpower and material resources and directly set fire to this place.

Through the window, you can see that the ruins of the farm have been cleared, and the granaries have been evacuated back to the town. The cows, sheep, pigs and chickens among them have also been allocated to three other farms that are already somewhat basic. The eggs are no longer placed in one. basket.

All the serfs on the original working farms were assigned to open up the wilderness.

For example, building new campsites, logging for charcoal, and building roads are tasks that require going deep into the wilderness and are dangerous.

Of course they were unwilling, but Lance didn't care what they thought, and neither did the whip.

When the last group of serfs were converted into regular workers, the labor farm became a place for those who made mistakes, so the previously formulated treatment was also changed.

The treatment of these people is considered the worst in town, and the food is naturally not much better. The standard that Lance gives them is just enough to eat, but don't expect to eat well unless they have made special contributions or have outstanding performance at work.

These serfs worked twelve hours from morning to night, without giving them any time to stop and think, and used them completely as consumables.

But what’s a little funny is that having food to eat and a place to live is something they couldn’t even imagine when they were fleeing.

He went to inspect and found that the condition of the serfs who attacked the convoy was actually better than when they fled.

Human beings have once again shown strong adaptability, just like the weeds on the roadside, no matter how many times they are crushed, they will still grow if given a chance.

Uh... To be honest, Lance didn't expect this situation, which made him doubt whether his treatment was too good.

However, after investigation, no one was found to put resources into those serfs. Instead, they caught a few small mice that were encroaching on the territory's resources.

Anyway, now that he had enough manpower, Lance simply took the opportunity to implicate and kill the original team leader, completely remove the old group of farm guards, demote them to serfs, and instead promote a few good performers from among those serfs to take over management.

These guys were originally oppressing other serfs, but now they have become serfs and will definitely suffer.

When these newly promoted managers see this scene, they may exploit other serfs even more cruelly.

But Lance didn't care, he just needed these serfs to carry out his orders.

Thanks to [Aayu] for the 100 reward.

Thank you for your monthly votes.
