Our family is in decline

Leonard did not end this simple award ceremony like this, but instead extended the situation he faced.

“Today we are victorious, but those cultists are still growing like weeds around Hamlet, and they are always trying to kill us and sacrifice us to the evil god.

They want to eat our flesh and drink our blood, and those they hang up will be our relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms.

What should we do as soldiers of Hamlet? "

Leonard had been in the church's army, and he had his own understanding of brainwashing through speeches. Just a simple sentence made the soldiers excited, especially the ones on the stage who shouted the loudest.

"I will kill all the cultists without leaving a single one behind!"

"Swear to protect Hamlet to the death and never let them take a step forward!"

"Unless you step on my body..."

Leonard knew that this small victory was nothing at all. If these soldiers were satisfied with this victory and became slack and underestimated the cultists, then he would be sorry to the lord.

This was exposed when he caught pigs before, and he had to remind these young people.

"Remember to put away your little thoughts. Those guys are waiting for us to reveal our flaws all the time. They are like poisonous snakes, lurking in the grass, just waiting to suddenly come out and bite you."

Leonard's warning did make the soldiers stop thinking, but he did not continue to emphasize harshly on the soldiers, but raised his hand and waved.

"Disband and enjoy your victory."

The moment the disbandment was announced, the entire camp immediately became lively, and everyone's joyful laughter echoed around.

But not everyone could laugh. A person preparing for the banquet on the other side looked indescribably disappointed when he saw this scene.

He used to be one of the soldiers. He had good training results and performed well in several battles. He originally had the opportunity to stand on that stage, but he was dismissed due to family issues and now he can only be here. Chopping vegetables and doing chores...

Seeing that all his former teammates were living so well, this huge gap was not only psychological, but also in life. Only after losing the preferential treatment did he realize how good the lord was to them.

Even after he left the army, no one took him to move bricks. Hamlet was too young. Everyone knew that. There were so many workers, why did they use the son of a criminal?

He was once respected by everyone in the town, but now he has become a shunned joke.

But now it's too late to regret. The greed of his family caused him to lose everything and also killed his glory.

He was not the only one in this situation. Many people affected by his family members fell into difficulties, and their lives fell to the bottom in an instant.

The lord knows that they are also victims in this matter, but the rules are like this, public officials cannot have any stain.

All the property in the town belongs to the lord. If the lord really wants to kill them, it is just a matter of words. But fortunately, the lord is still so kind and does not watch them die. Instead, he makes arrangements for them in times of difficulty. Work.

Although it is difficult to return to the comfortable life before, at least he can stay in Hamlet.

But now he felt very uncomfortable watching his former comrades reveling in the banquet.

He couldn't tell, but it wasn't jealousy, but depression. His chest felt like it was being suppressed and it was difficult to breathe out.

Happiness belongs to them, I have nothing...

News of the army's victory soon spread throughout this small town.

Tonight, the business of the tavern was inexplicably better, and many people were willing to spend some money to have a couple of drinks to celebrate.

"Have you heard that the Lord has won the battle?"

"Who doesn't know that the seized materials are piled up in several warehouses, and the huge fleet of vehicles fills up the surrounding open spaces."

"Then do you know who the enemy is?"

"No matter who he is, he is definitely not a good person anyway. He is probably one of those horse bandits and road bullies."

"That's right, I heard people say there's chaos outside right now..."

Due to the confidentiality of military operations, not much news has been released even if the operation is over now, and the public actually does not know the specific situation.

But they were also sincerely happy for the lord's victory, although they didn't even know who or what the enemy was.

Anyway, the lord is definitely right, the lord's enemies are their enemies.

Brainlessness can only be called simplicity if it is under the right leadership, otherwise it will just be ignorance.

The man was listening to the news of victory in the tavern. Even though he was just an ordinary worker, he still couldn't help but feel proud when he heard the news.

He is different from those who do not have family pressure. The family has to save tuition fees for their sons to prepare for school.

But after hearing about the army's victory, he was still willing to spend one copper coin and buy two large glasses of beer to join in the festive atmosphere.

He drank the last bit of beer in one gulp, and then reluctantly handed back the oak wine glass in his hand.

After leaving the tavern, he hurried towards his home. In Hamlet, there was no danger even at night. This kind of safety was unavailable in other places.

The reason why the man is like this is that he can't wait to go home and share the good news with his wife.

He was actually the victim who suffered injustice, was knocked unconscious by the foreman, and finally exploded the incident.

However, he did not have any dissatisfaction with Hamlet because of what happened at that time. On the contrary, he loved Hamlet even more.

Because the investigation initiated by the security team gave him a fair verdict, the bad guys were punished.

Sometimes what they need is as simple as that, but this kind of thing is extremely rare in the empire, even the entire continent, and the entire world.

For ordinary people like them who have been oppressed by empires, nobles, gangs, and rogue bullies since childhood, the strong oppressing the weak is the real truth to them.

But the rules in Hamlet subverted their imagination. It turns out that there are really just rules, and it turns out that they really punish bad people and protect good people.

Although he was beaten up, the bad guys were even worse. They lost the trust of the lord, lost their jobs, and were sent to labor farms to do hard labor.

Even the construction sites in the town were redeployed because of a large number of workers. The shortage of workers made him find a formal job instead of the daily casual labor before. Stability was what they longed for most.

Now there is only one truth for them, and that is the Lord.

I quickly returned home and saw that the door was not closed, and a figure was leaning on the edge, holding a simple oil lamp in his hand.

"Have you heard any news?" The woman half-opened the door. The huge firelight couldn't even illuminate the woman's face that was obscured by the night, but she could still hear her anxiety from her voice.

There was too much noise in the motorcade this evening, so after her husband got off work, she went to the tavern to inquire about the news. Normally, she would never allow him to fool around.

"Victory...big victory!" The man said as he entered the house. His whole aura changed. He clenched his fists and waved like a general on the battlefield. At the same time, his tone of voice suddenly increased a few notches. He could finally speak more forcefully at home.

"Keep your voice down, my son is asleep."

The woman subconsciously scolded, letting the man get rid of the anger he had just raised. She shrunk her head and turned to look at the black figure on the bed. She was relieved when she saw that she didn't wake up.

But then he turned around and told his wife excitedly about the news he heard in the tavern.

When she heard that those convoys were captured supplies and that the army had won the victory, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

"It's a pity that I wasn't chosen, otherwise I would have joined the army."

In the past, the armies of noble lords were all composed of young men. They cost money and lives, so no one wanted to go.

In order to get rid of military service, even bribe those big shots, or run away directly, they would rather become a gangster than a soldier.

But in Hamlet, it's the other way around. Many people want to go but can't get in at all.

Because the selection conditions are strict and the military discipline is very strict, but the corresponding treatment is so good that it is unbelievable that everyone is willing to become a soldier of Hamlet.

"When my son grows up, I want him to join the army."

A man quickly decides something, and if he can't do it himself, then he will pin his hopes on his son. This is a general rule. No parent does not want his son to succeed.

But the woman glanced at her husband with a slight dissatisfaction, "It's too dangerous. We just have one son and our family can live a stable life. There is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person. The lord will make the decision for us."

"Then we won't be afraid if we give him a younger brother." The heat of the night and the exciting news made the man feel strange, and they gathered together under the dim oil lamp.

"Ouch, what are you doing~ Wait until my son wakes up."

"He's asleep and not afraid."

…………

Hamlet, sanatorium.

Amanda seemed to notice something. She raised her head and glanced at the iron door. Sure enough, within two or three seconds, the sound of the door lock opening was heard.

But when the cell door opened, the person who let her out was not Lord Lance, but a woman.

It was not the strange man named Paracelsus that he had seen before, but a woman with a strong barbarian style.

She was as good looking as she was and even better, but there was one thing about her that she couldn't compare to.

"Where's Lord Lance?" Although Amanda looked at Greendale, her expression looked a little strange.

The commotion outside last night was very lively, and even she knew that she was definitely coming home with a great victory.

But if that was the case, why was it not the lord who opened the door, but this woman?

Was his divination result really correct? What was wrong with him?

Amanda's broad mind not only attracted the men's attention, but even Greendale couldn't help but stay on it for a few seconds. She didn't come back to her senses until she heard her words.

"It's time, come out."

Greendale obviously had no intention of explaining, so she turned and left without saying a word.

Lance leaves this matter to her before leaving, because now she is the only one in Hamlet who has the ability to stop the fight between the two.

Now facing Amanda's temptation, she naturally couldn't waste her breath.

A person with a flexible mind like Amanda could naturally sense that this barbarian woman was wary of her, but she didn't say anything, but simply packed up and walked out.

Being detained for seven days was very difficult for her to accept, but it could only be done under strong force.

But what made her feel strange was that these seven days were really just a simple imprisonment, and there were no problems at all that she had imagined. The rules that the man said turned out to be true, and he did what he said.

When she walked out of the nursing home and saw the sunshine again, Amanda couldn't help but smile.

The breath of freedom is so wonderful~

But the gaze from behind made the smile on her face change. When she looked back, it was Tamara, but she was still wearing the simple prison uniform and she was holding her set of clothes in her hands.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met. Unlike Amanda's relaxed and casual attitude, Tamara's gnashing of teeth made her lose.

"I don't care what grudges you have. Hamlet prohibits fighting, let alone hurting others. Unless you want to stay in there again, otherwise be honest, or go out and resolve it yourself."

Greendale was not very polite to either of them, she just picked up her staff and left without saying a word.

"Why isn't it Lance? Do you know who that barbarian girl is?" Amanda asked, looking at Greendale's retreating back.

Now there are only two people here, so it’s obvious who to ask.

Tamara looked a little strange when she heard Amanda call the lord.

Lance? Are you familiar with him? When did you become so affectionate?

Sensing Tamara's strange look, Amanda smiled and asked, "Didn't Lance go find you? He came to my room several times and returned the things to me in advance."

As she spoke, Amanda raised her hand across her body, and finally placed it on her face, fidgeting with the dangling earrings with her fingertips. The smile on her face was more provocative.

Pooh! Dog men and women!

Tamara's eyes were full of resentment after looking at Amanda's appearance, and she wanted to go up and kill this bitch with one knife.

It's a pity that my current condition is not good, and I haven't even recovered from the sequelae. I don't dare to provoke a fight, so I can only grit my teeth and leave here to find my carriage.

Amanda watched Tamara leave angrily, and the expression on her face immediately calmed down, instead revealing a trace of worry.

She just wanted to anger Tamara and make her take action first.

But it's obvious that this guy hasn't completely lost his mind yet.

But her reaction just now also made Amanda understand that Tamara probably really has nothing to do with that lord.

Because she knew very well who Tamara was, and if there really was some kind of deeper relationship, her reaction just now could never have been like this, it would have been even more intense.

To be honest, although Amanda also hates Tamara, she doesn't dare to take action in Hamlet now. After all, that man is too strong, and no one is willing to offend such a person before they understand the situation.

But that man was very confident. If he came back, he who opened the door just now would definitely show himself that the divination result was wrong.

If not, then something unexpected must have happened, so what exactly will happen? She felt like she would be very confused if she didn't figure this out.

This was the first time that Amanda cared so much about a man, or in other words, it was the first time that a man had made it difficult for her to sleep or eat well.
