Our family is in decline

"It's hard to say. We currently have too few information channels. To the outside world, it is equivalent to darkness. We are like blind people, let alone judge some of the information they give."

Lance put down the letter in his hand. It contained a brief explanation of the situation and the information exchanged between the two parties.

The Roma people were not crazy. The information they exchanged with Walter was not as exciting as the information in the car.

Rather, it is limited to the situation in a few cities near Ovendo, what has been captured, what is still holding on, where there may be danger, and where what supplies are needed.

If these are true, they are indeed very useful, but the problem is that they are not sure.

The reason is simple. Lance doesn't think the Roma people still need Hamlet's information. Even if they didn't have it before, Amanda reported it later. Why did they do this?

There is only one car. Isn't it the habit of omen seekers?

Is their goal to deal with the two traitors, or is it themselves?

"You go back first, I will take care of the rest."

Lance simply didn't think about it, because he thought so much that he might as well lead the cavalry to charge again.

This is the gap caused by strength. He doesn't need to be as cautious as he was at the beginning. He wants to calculate everything to the limit, because he has no foundation and cannot accept any surprises.

But it doesn't matter now. If you don't provoke him, you won't care. Anyone who blocks him will be killed.

Lance can be so relaxed, but Vic can't. He knows that the reason why he can't figure out the opponent's purpose is because his own information channels are weak, and he can't even screen the opponent's information.

Hamlet is a giant, but a deformed giant.

Now he understands why the lord worked so hard to prepare for this operation. He must do a good job and not betray his trust.

"I will definitely complete your arrangements and achieve results as soon as possible." Vic solemnly swore. This attitude made Lance a little confused.

After all, he didn't know what Vic, a young man, was thinking, suddenly so serious.

"Relax. You must be cautious when engaging in intelligence. Don't rush for quick success." Lance reassured with a smile. "You have to remember that we are still young, we are full of energy, and the future is ours after all."

"yes!"

Vic needs to go back, and Lance also needs to go back to Hamlet. Although he is not afraid, he still feels at ease when he is in charge.

The path forward for the caravan was certain, and Vic soon caught up with the slow-moving convoy.

The convoy was very large, with all kinds of chaos stretching for almost a kilometer from beginning to end. There were hundreds of people in it, and no one cared about the disappearance or appearance of a person.

Of course, Vic came back to Walter to report the situation as soon as possible.

"Everything goes well. I have already told the Lord about the situation. He told us not to worry about this matter and just do our things according to the original plan."

Even though he said this, Vic still looked worried and troubled.

"If you have any ideas, please tell me and see if I can help." Walter is also quite optimistic about this young man.

"This is an opportunity. I'm thinking about how to verify the correctness of these messages, but it's obvious that we don't have the ability yet." Vic urgently needs to make some achievements, but the task given to him by the lord is to Owendo set up the organizational framework for the starting point.

Everything has just started now, so it is impossible, let alone the ability to send outside personnel to verify these things.

"Actually, you thought wrong about one thing, and that is that verifying this information does not necessarily require us to come in person." Walter said with a smile, which naturally aroused Vic's confused eyes.

"Actually, I just thought about this issue, how can we use this information to gain benefits."

As he spoke, Walter took out the simple map and pointed at it to explain his thoughts to Vic.

"In the intelligence, the governor of this city controlled the army to block the refugees and stabilized the situation, but it was only temporary because the food prices here have soared and their own food cannot support them for long, so they seek food from outside at high prices."

"Do you want to do his business?"

"No, no, no~" Walter denied with a smile, "What we have to do is spread the news and let other grain merchants in Owendo City know about it. In the face of huge interests, they will naturally help us. Investigate this matter clearly, and we will be able to judge whether the information is true just by looking at their shipments."

"But news is valuable because only a few people know it. Once they are sure, it will be too late for us to take action. They have already occupied the market."

“But what if our market wasn’t one of those places in the first place?”

Vic looked at Walter's smiling face and fell into thinking, where is our market?

In just a moment, he seemed to understand something, raised his head, met Walter's eyes and uttered a word.

“We want Ovendo’s market.”

"That's right!" Walter nodded with satisfaction. This child is still smart and can understand everything at once.

"The channels they have are fixed for a short time, and there is only so much food. If they choose to supply elsewhere, the local market in Owendo is destined to be eliminated. This is our opportunity.

You only see several times the profits, but you don’t see the risks. Although it is not a war zone, there are constant frictions and conflicts. The investment to eat these profits is very exaggerated and consumes too many resources. Just the guards are It can’t be less, and we do business right at the door. Although we don’t make much money, it’s safe enough, with little risk and little pressure.

There are only two ways to deal with this situation now, either you have enough strength to break out, or you can just grab it casually, just like picking up money.

Or just be honest and reduce the risk. You don't need to persist for a long time, you just need to be able to persist longer than them before you can eat their corpses. "

Walter said this nakedly. As he spoke, he was already waiting to eat the corpse of his colleague, or he was already eating it now.

Because this is a bright card, if my identity has not changed, I am afraid I will fall into it, just like when I was trapped in Hamlet, it was all caused by greed.

There is actually another reason for him to do this, and that is to control or even monopolize the food in Owendo City in accordance with the requirements of the lord.

The last time he returned to Ovendo City, he had a mission, but unfortunately the situation was more troublesome than he imagined. He had been absent for too long, and his strength had seriously shrunk.

Although the biggest rival Jean died inexplicably, the main body of the business group was not missing. It only needed to be replaced by Jean's son and it could still run. There were others who took up positions during this period.

He had no choice but to acquire those small business groups because he couldn't get into Owendo's market.

And this time is an opportunity for me to make a good comeback and tell them that Walter is back!

…………

Although Lance received the news that the Roma were coming, he led the cavalry troops and the captures, which somewhat slowed down the speed. Sometimes this is a sweet trouble.

There was only one carriage from the Omen Seeker, and it ran without stopping. It arrived before Lance, the town that "haunted them" - Hamlet.

Just when they arrived, one thing shocked them greatly: refugees, hundreds of people lined up in a long queue, and those refugees were even lined up hundreds of meters away.

In fact, it was mentioned in Walter's intelligence that Hamlet was accepting refugees, but they didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was just this light sentence, but now it seems that it has brought a great shock to them.

After all, how could a small town accept so many refugees?

The influx of refugees will disrupt the lives of the indigenous people and cause all kinds of conflicts, and chaos will sweep over the place.

Otherwise, why do most of the consuls hate these refugees? They will not help or let them in at all, and some will just drive them away.

Could that man really be the savior? Otherwise, the rescue of refugees would not be so inefficient.

"Let's get out of the car and ask."

The habit of engaging in intelligence makes them eager to know more, and they want to use this to pry into Hamlet and even the man's thoughts.

The carriage was out of place here, and it actually attracted the attention of many refugees when it appeared.

"Why did you come here?"

"They were all dead. They were all dead. I was the only one who escaped. They told me there was food here."

Very poor words, but you can hear how terrible the situation he faced was.

After chatting with the surrounding refugees for a while, the woman discovered that most of them were migrating without purpose and just wanted to live as far away from the war zone as possible.

Until they met an army, who told them that they would find safety and food here.

At this time, there was some commotion in the queue, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Why did you do it! Why did you pull me? Why did you pull me!"

A woman's face turned red, her strange face was distorted, and she screamed weirdly at the man behind her. She made various strange and incomprehensible movements with her hands, trying to hide the panic behind the madness.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" The white-haired old ghost on the side was guarding the woman. He was so anxious that he jumped up and down without forgetting to raise his hand to point at the young man. His face was like an evil ghost that chooses people to devour.

But the man she accused looked helpless and defended something in his mouth, "It was obviously you who jumped in line, I'm just reminding you."

His words seemed to stimulate the woman, and the silence of those around her gave her inexplicable confidence. She screamed loudly for a while, and her expression became more and more crazy.

"You think I'm afraid of you because you're a man! Let me tell you, I'm not the kind of person who's easy to mess with. What I hate most is your bullying and fear of the strong!"

But the problem is that this is not a tourist attraction, this is Hamlet!

The riot directly attracted a group of heavily armed soldiers, who quickly suppressed the surrounding riots.

"what's going on?"

The team leader glanced at several people, his serious face undisguised.

There must be no problems with accepting refugees. Anyone who dares to disrupt is the enemy.

"The two of them jumped in line, but they scolded me when I reminded them." The young man did not want to cause trouble. He was worried that it would affect his ability to pass the registration inspection, so he explained the situation honestly.

What does it mean to bully the weak and fear the strong? Just now, the two of them were arrogant and domineering in the face of the weak young man, but when faced with the soldiers holding weapons, they suddenly became mute. When faced with the young man's accusations, they could only hesitantly defend themselves.

"Putting aside the facts, it's wrong for him to pull people away. Moreover, we are moving horizontally, so how can we count as cutting in line..."

The soldier collected the testimonies of the people around him and understood what was going on. He immediately raised his musket and made a demonstration.

"Get out of here now. You are no longer qualified to join. We at Hamlet do not welcome people who do not follow the rules."

Now the two of them were completely panicked. Their city had been invaded by refugees. They had narrowly escaped death when they came here after escaping. Where could they go if they left here?

"We are teachers. We were teachers when we were in the city. You said you would give preferential treatment to those who are literate."

"Do you want me to leave the students in the hands of people like you?" The soldier did not hide the disgust on his face, "Huh! Move them two out of here."

Why do women dare to jump in line? It's because she feels that she is not the same type of person as these refugees. She is a city citizen and literate, so she should enjoy privileges. She is just jumping in the queue. What does it mean?

But the soldier's words completely wiped out the hope of the two men, and they were immediately expelled from the team. What awaited them was nothing but ridicule from the surroundings.

"You've done a great job. We need people like you who dare to stand up. You can explain this when you register later, and we will give you priority."

When the young man heard this, he just nodded, his heart filled with ecstasy.

He also didn't expect that his unintentional actions would be appreciated. This place is different from other places, and even cities don't have this kind of custom.

The soldiers on the other side used this matter to emphasize it again among the crowd.

"No matter who you are, when you come to Hamlet, you must abide by Hamlet's rules, or leave here."

No matter how much they said, it would be better to see the fact happening in front of their eyes. Some people with inexplicable thoughts all became honest.

Whatever their status, they are now refugees.

"I know those two women. They are both school teachers. They escaped from the city together before. They have always been like this. They have an inexplicable sense of superiority. They really deserve it."

Some of the refugees seemed to know the two of them, and they all felt a little gloating after seeing this situation.

In fact, after more than half a year, the composition of the refugees has changed from farmers in the central provinces to the urban population affected by the war.

It was obvious that many of the people in the team were from the city, so they could identify the two women who were causing trouble.

The omen seeker on the other side also had a new understanding of Hamlet after seeing what had just happened.

Everyone knows that a literate person is very precious in this era, let alone a professional teacher.

These valuable talents for a place that longs for development are now being expelled just for a trivial matter like cutting in line.

Amanda's information was correct. This was a place where rules were emphasized and enforced at all costs.

This also means that the person who makes the rules is strong and has the ability to enforce them.

Thanks to [Sekoni High Iron Duck] for the 100 reward.
