Our family is in decline

Chapter 26 Ambush

A carriage drove into the town. It was pulled by a horse. The carriage was just a few pieces of wood spliced ​​together. There were no exaggerated decorations or signs. What stood out was its practicality and simplicity.

This is a group of guards who came from the farm to change their defense. At this time, the guards who were stuffed in the carriage with bags of replenishment grain couldn't help but stretched their heads and looked outside through the window.

"What are they doing?"

Some guards noticed the lively crowd in the square and were shouting excitedly.

The high-pressure training and patrols in the farm made these lazy guards very uncomfortable. These three days were more like taking a break for them.

The guards who returned had heard about the life here, and tobacco, alcohol, gambling, and women were waiting for them.

"sit down!"

A scolding came from the carriage, which immediately made the originally careless guard subconsciously stop and look at the elite man wearing a breastplate.

Although they were unhappy, they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to sit down angrily, and the atmosphere that had not yet aroused was replaced by dullness.

Soon the carriage stopped at the entrance of the grain store. Under the leadership of the elite, a few people came down. They actually had a sense of queue, a bit like a regular army.

"These guys haven't gotten up yet!" Jingli said dissatisfied, raising his hand to point to a guard, "Go knock on the door."

Xiaobing followed the order and knocked on the door, and soon heard random shouting from behind the door.

"I'm coming!"

A man wearing a breastplate came out of the door and it was the team leader. When he saw those people, he smiled and said: "We just had half a barrel of ale left last night, so you are given an advantage."

As soon as he said this, the originally serious team immediately collapsed. Looking at the longing eyes staring into the room, you could tell what they were thinking.

"How can you drink while on duty!"

When the elite saw this, he criticized him, but the team leader didn't give in at all.

"Who are you? Brothers, do you have any problem with having a drink after working so hard here?"

Without waiting for the elite to continue speaking, he waved the other guards in.

"If you don't want to drink, you won't drink. Why are you stopping my brother~"

The guards were already so thirsty from the training that they couldn't care less when someone came forward. They walked in immediately, and some didn't forget to ask the team leader about the woman.

"It's easy to say, women are everywhere~" The team leader put his arms around his shoulders and led those people into the house. Although the elite was angry, there was nothing they could do.

To be honest, he also wanted to drink and play with women, but he couldn't let go, so he had to hold in his anger and follow in, thinking that he would report to Captain David when the shift changed.

But the moment he stepped into the house, he felt something was wrong. Before the elite could react further, the door behind him was suddenly closed, and at the same time, two armored enemies rushed out from both sides.

"careful!"

The training still allowed them to retain a certain degree of defense. After he shouted this, the guards also reacted and hurriedly tried to draw their weapons.

But the team leader standing among them took action and directly interrupted the two crossbowmen from loading. At this time, Leonard and the veteran also rushed to the front.

Both are skills honed in the flames of war. They are much better than these bastards who have been trained in a hurry for a few days. No guard can take the next move.

The elite could not even see their movements clearly, they could only hear the muffled sounds and the wails of the fallen team members one by one.

He instinctively wanted to draw out his dagger, but at some point someone came closer and something cold touched the back of his head.

Jingli paused for a moment, and at this moment, the squad leader stepped forward and snatched his weapon away.

"Are you crazy? You betrayed the farm!" Jingli couldn't help but cursed. It was obvious that he didn't expect him to betray.

"Then who did the farm betray?" Lance walked out slowly.

"Sir, please look, everyone is here." The squad leader bowed and presented the dagger in his hand with both hands, his attitude was self-evident.

Lance took the dagger and came to the elite, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what happened on the farm in the past three days."

Jingli didn't recognize the young man in front of him, but he turned his head very forcefully.

"Hmph! Just kill me. Boss David will avenge us sooner or later."

"Okay~ kill him." Lance agreed to his request without any hesitation, waving towards Disma, "Drag him behind and deal with it. I don't like to see blood."

Jing Rui was also stunned. Although he was ready to be beaten, logically he shouldn't be beaten for three questions and three answers. In the end, he admired his courage and loyalty and let him go?

This Nima Knight novel is a lie!

To be honest, Lance's words did not allow others to react.

Looking at the surprised looks of the others, Lance shrugged and said speechlessly: "Why are you looking at me? This is what he asked for."

Of course, Disma would not question Lance's decision and immediately dragged the elite back.

"Wait a minute! I said...I said..."

Elite immediately betrayed the farm without hesitation and directly told the situation about the farm, fearing that he would be killed if he spoke too late.

He was not a member of the original guard, but a man who was promoted by David after the townspeople went bankrupt and sold their fields to become serfs.

In other words, the original squad leader has been demoted and turned into an ordinary guard. David has taken control of four of the five squad captains.

The situation on the farm is similar, production is running normally, and the situation inside the manor is the same.

But it is worth noting that David used muskets during the training and required the guards to know how to use them.

This news made Lance alert. The only good news was that the farm only had a long-barreled flintlock gun that David brought over, and there was no ammunition reserve. Their training was just to show off and pose.

Lance digested all the information in an instant and turned to look at the team leader.

"I'm not wrong. If you go back like this, you will definitely be deprived of your captain's rights and become an ordinary guard or even a serf."

The squad leader also felt a strong desire to survive after hearing that another acquaintance was replaced by a serf.

If he had bowed to the lord just for money and survival, now he was fighting for himself.

"Don't worry, sir, I know how to do it."

Lance looked at him without saying anything, and motioned to several people to tie up all the guards and hang them on the beams, then get in the car and set off...

The town is located on the coast, with the sea to the east and the old road to the outside world to the southwest, which was the direction in which the bandits invaded at that time.

The farm is located in the northwest of the town. If the bandits want to rob the farm, they must pass through the town and have to go some distance to see it. This is how they can avoid the most serious bandit robberies.
