Our family is in decline

How much can the witch know about Hamlet?

From what Greendale relayed to the witch, we knew that the main thing she told her was to accuse the ancestor, a scumbag, and she really didn’t know much about the territory.

The exchange between the witch and the ancestor was mainly about herbal medicine and some psychic techniques. After that, the relationship between the two got further and the ancestor shared his secret with the witch who was in love. Then the witch couldn't stand it and went crazy.

The ancestor also finished learning her knowledge, kicked her away and turned around to study necromancy.

As for why these two guys are collaborating again?

The reason is simple. He brought back a large number of people and resources from Totnes. After these investments, Hamlet's development soared rapidly, and it expanded outwards to threaten the two at the same time.

Logically speaking, the ancestor should be happy that there are so many people dying.

But it is a pity that Hamlet is under the control of Lance. When he chooses to control strongly instead of letting it go, the growing Hamlet not only cannot provide strength to the old thing, but on the contrary, it puts huge pressure on him.

In the past, whenever Hamlet started to show signs of improvement, his ancestor would take action, just like a cycle. Anyway, heirs would grow like leeks. In an ancient family, no one knew how many bloodlines could be extended.

Why does the ancestor need an heir?

That's because he needs someone to maintain the rules of the aristocratic game to avoid provoking some big guy to annex Hamlet.

To be honest, he is not afraid of the ability of the heir, because the more capable he is, the greater the killings caused by trying to revive Hamlet. The more people die on this land, the greater the power provided to him.

But Lance is different, not because of his ability, but because he uses order to control the killing, and with [Sacrifice] he directly takes the blame for his ancestors.

After coming in for so long, he killed a lot of people, but they all went into his pocket. The ancestor couldn't even drink the soup. Can you not be in a hurry!

That's why he found the witch as an Ascension Sect and asked the witch to take action on the condition of a group of refugees and the surrender of the wilderness.

The witch originally wanted to expand her territory, so she was not polite about it.

However, the appearance of Greendale prevented the witch from taking action against Hamlet immediately. She only spread the plague to drive the parasites.

And then that’s it…

This situation made Lance feel a little relieved, otherwise it would be a problem how to write the story.

"Actually, both you and the witch were deceived. That guy is not the lord at all. The real lord has died long ago."

Lance reversed the entire story in one sentence. As the heir, he would clear his name regardless of whether his ancestor had any problems.

This is also the case when the butt is sitting in this position, and it is no longer the brain's turn.

"The root of all this is the evil god sealed in the ground. There is a cult called the Ascension Sect that worships the evil god and hopes to return to Him and obtain ascension. In fact, it awakens the evil god to usher in the end.

For this reason, those guys killed all the nobles in the territory, leaving only the lord alone. By this time, he had been controlled by the cult and lost himself. Hamlet was declining.

But our family is not an ordinary family. There is ancient blood flowing in our body. Those guys touched the seal of the evil god, which enabled me to gain divine enlightenment and awaken the powerful power hidden in the blood.

That's why I'm here, to take Hamlet back from them and save the world from apocalypse. "

Lance briefly explained the current situation. Anyway, the Ascension Sect has a lot of blame to bear, and this is not the least of it. If anything happens, just throw it at them.

"Oh~" Greendale didn't react much to the news. Maybe the end of the world has already come for her. She doesn't care what happened to Hamlet. She only cares about whether she can get revenge.

Lance originally planned to see her surprised reaction, but when he saw her like this, he seemed a little bored, so he had to smack his lips and had no intention of continuing.

"Don't worry, I am more anxious about this matter than you are. I will send troops as soon as I regain Hamlet's territory. If you help me, you are helping yourself."

"What am I going to do?" After saying this, Greendale had a slight reaction.

"I need the knowledge of herbal medicine to help me reform current medical treatment; the second thing is to help me research and develop some medicines to strengthen soldiers; the third thing is to improve and breed crops."

The reason why Lance valued her was simple, that was the herbalism and medical knowledge accumulated by the Deer Head Tribe.

What's more important is that her ability to accelerate plant growth will play a very terrible role if used in crop improvement.

Why don’t people in this era have enough to eat?

One reason is that the land is barren without fertilizers, and another reason is that the varieties of crops are unstable, resulting in unstable yields.

For Lance, the real legacy of the Deer Head Tribe is Greendale, not any treasure.

Of course, Lance didn't say anything about human body modification technology or bacterial research after taking over the witch's legacy.

Just as Greendale didn't believe him, Lance didn't believe her either.

Greendale also seemed a little strange when she heard these tasks. She was actually asked to do these things, which was very different from what she had imagined.

Lance didn't care about her thoughts, but explained in detail the impact of these three tasks on the territory.

"Strengthening technology will lead to more powerful soldiers. Reforms in medical technology will allow more soldiers to survive the battlefield and become experienced veterans. More food means more population carrying capacity, which means more soldiers."

"I see."

Greendale understands that the stronger her territory is, the stronger her power of revenge will be, so helping him is helping herself.

…………

The first day - intense hunger can even drive people crazy. This feeling has not appeared for a long time and it brings me back to the suffering of the past. The betrayal caused us to lose the protection of the lord. This is all self-inflicted. .

The third day - our shriveled stomachs finally got some pitiful food, but before we could stop, we were driven by the whip-wielding overseers to work deeper in the wilderness. As long as I slow down a little, the whip will fall on my body. The burning pain makes me recall the beautiful life under the protection of the lord, but at this time, I can only try my best to speed up the pace so as not to lag behind others.

Day 4 - The road leading into the depths of the wilderness was so remote and winding that there was no road at all, and the pace of progress became difficult. As I got deeper, I swore I had never seen such a terrifying place. Groups of mushrooms grew almost everywhere. Everything in front of me seemed to have lost its life, leaving only a desperate density of mushrooms. But under the whip The speed of the team's progress is still guaranteed.

Day 5 - Finally we arrived at the advance camp. Among some collapsed buildings, serfs with numb faces were doing their own things. I had no choice, and I was soon organized into an engineering team with others to build an advance camp under the command of the whip.

Day 6 - There was no rest time and no stable food supply. A whole day of high-intensity work made me physically and mentally exhausted. But fortunately, it was finally time to rest as night fell. However, during the roll call, the supervisor found that there were fewer a person.

Soon we heard from those who came first that many people had disappeared in the camp. Everyone knew that it was impossible to escape, and leaving without the protection of the camp would mean death. A strange kind of panic arose among us. The arrival of night made everyone's spirits tense. I tossed and turned, trying my best to get rid of this feeling. I prayed to the lord that we were safe. This is very superstitious, but I felt inexplicably relieved. I was about to enter. Dreamland...

Day 7 - It seems that the prayers had an effect. The camp was very calm and safe at night, but now I and two other people were assigned to the task of the missing person, responsible for transporting supplies among different camps. Others saw I feel like a dead person, but I have no choice...

Day 8 - Another day escaped. This place was so bad, but with the Lord's blessing, there were no more disappearances, but every night I couldn't help but want to go back to the safety of the town.

Day 10 - Death comes, I wrote this book with blood because I betrayed the lord, and as punishment, now I lie here helpless...

Our team was attacked by an indescribable huge monster. A strange wailing sound directly plunged us into despair. Because of my firm faith in the lord, I resisted the heart-rending cry and turned around to run away. Although he was also scratched, he had sharp claws.

But poor Tolan on the side couldn't escape the monster's sharp claws, and his body was torn apart by one claw, and his intestines flowed out. After escaping, Caesar was quickly caught by the monster. All I could hear was the bites and cruel sounds behind me. Call.

The injuries on my body became more and more serious. Although the blood slowly flowed out of my unrecognizable body, my limbs began to become numb and I fell directly to the ground.

I knew I couldn't escape. From the moment I chose to betray, the outcome was doomed...

No! It found me...

After writing this, there are only a few drops of blood left, and it is not difficult to see the consequences of the diary owner.

Lance put down the diaries in his hands with a strange expression. After a moment of silence, he looked up at the people in front of him.

"How many people have disappeared during this period?"

"Seven of them. When someone is found missing and the soldiers are mobilized to search and rescue, they often only find broken corpses. It can be seen that there are bite marks on them and part of them has been eaten by monsters. These blood-stained diaries were found next to the corpses.

The monster seemed to deliberately find those lone serfs to clean up, or the soldiers stationed in the camp did not notice the monster's attack.

Now many serfs would rather go hungry than go out, and the supply lines have been cut off. We can't go too deep, so we can only pull back the soldiers in front. "

Leonard reported the situation, and Barristan and Barton looked a little depressed next to them. No one was happy being played by a monster.

They had actually noticed the existence of the monster from the beginning. They originally wanted to catch the monster and report it to the lord. After all, it was impossible to trouble the lord with everything, so what was their use?

It's just that the monsters seemed to know about them and had been avoiding the army until they killed three this time and caused the serfs to panic, so they couldn't report it to the lord for a decision.

Lance looked at the map and pondered for a while, and he knew without even thinking that it must have been intentional interference caused by his ancestor, trying to delay time and restrict his development of the wilderness.

The development had just begun, and if he continued like this, something would happen.

"I was too impatient. I gathered my troops, gave up the radical development method before, and chose to progressively divide and burn the corrupted land. I also cleaned up and built the ancient roads and outposts, constantly encroaching on the enemy's range of activities."

Lance knew that germs corrupted quickly, but now that he had obtained the disease-resistant mushrooms, he had the capital to hold off, because these things would also eat flesh and blood, and for the ancestor, the less he could eat as the corruption spread.

"Sir, why don't we concentrate our forces to advance on the west side, while the east side uses the coastline waterways to transport materials to reduce logistical pressure and complete the division of the Corrupted Land.

At that time, a large amount of fields can be obtained with just a fire, and the harvest can be brought in by water, which is much more convenient than land transportation, freeing up a large number of labor forces. "

The other people were not idiots. On the contrary, they were able to see an undisturbed transportation route.

But when Lance heard this, he slowly shook his head. How could he not know that sea transportation is more convenient, but the problem is that there are not only fish in the water.

"The cult is not a fool. It's really that simple. I have led a group of people to skip the wilderness and sail to the old port. The water in the old city is full of monsters. Once we are discovered by them, we will survive. Can’t go down.”

If a person is based on land, once he falls into the ocean, no matter how strong he is, it will be useless.

This was the first time for several people to hear this. They didn't expect that there was such a threat hidden around Hamlet.

"This matter is going on steadily. That monster is not something that ordinary soldiers can deal with, and its appearance shows that those guys must be hatching some conspiracy. I will form a team to investigate this matter in depth."

My own strength is still too weak. If I rashly adopt radical tactics, I will probably lose my family fortune.

The ancestor's family was rich and he could lose countless times, but he could not afford to lose once.

damn it! These assets should have been mine... Ancestor, you deserve to die! ! !

"My lord, I want to join in this action."

Leonard and the others wanted to fight, but Lance had already made arrangements for this.

"This operation is mainly about tracking and exploration. There are not many enemies. Barristan is going to follow me into the wilderness. You two need to rotate the defense of the town and the wilderness camp."

They didn't have any objections to the lord's arrangements.

Lance called William and Boudica, explained the situation to them, and asked them to prepare for the mission.

After the recent severe crackdown, the town has become much calmer. The only function of the security team is to maintain law and order, so William is very free.

As for Boudica, this guy is always happy whenever there is a fight.

"Mission, clear the wilderness, find the monster, and kill it!"
