Our family is in decline

"Gather a squad, the battle isn't over yet."

Lance set his sights on the forest on the edge of the farm and briefly explained the mission, "They all have one man and two horses, but there is no such thing here, that is, they have already placed the other half of the horses before charging. We must Get these horses back first."

"yes!"

Soon a team of ten people was temporarily formed. They did not suffer any serious injuries in the battle just now and still retained their combat effectiveness.

"Set off!"

Lance didn't waste any time and directly rode on Alvin's... no, it should be his horse now and rushed out.

Leonard followed closely behind, and he could feel that the lord seemed to be very familiar with these invading enemies, and at the same time, the lord seemed to know the location of the horses.

In fact, his feeling was correct. Lance directly activated the skill [Blood Hunting] and could easily find where those guys were hiding. The smell of so many horses gathered together was unavoidable.

The next operation was too smooth. Lance led the team into it, knocked down the two knights responsible for guarding, and then brought back the horses carrying supplies.

Lance couldn't stop smiling all the way.

Leonard was also similar. This battle was fought by the cavalry. Although he knew there was moisture, the record was real.

With this in mind, other troops can no longer say that the cavalry has achieved nothing with so many resources.

Moreover, it is estimated that the cavalry team can also make some money from this batch of war horses, and strive to expand the number to one hundred, and truly form a brigade...

This battle was hard fought, but also rewarding.

Lance and Leonard went to recover the war horses, and Greendale also took over the aftermath with the soldiers stationed here.

Treating the wounded, cleaning up the battlefield, and arranging things properly didn't require Lance to bother at all. When he returned to the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was basically sorted out.

Four of these knights died, and there were still forty-five left. Most of them were slightly injured and their condition was stable.

(The fifty members of the Knights do not include Alvin and the Baron. Only three were killed by the cultists along the way, and the rest are all here.)

Because almost no one among the cavalry died due to Lance's method, even those who were seriously injured and on the verge of death were pulled back by him. This is the power of extraordinary power.

Fifty sets of standard knight armor were harvested, as well as various matching weapons and equipment. However, the bloody battle just now caused almost all equipment to suffer varying degrees of damage, and it is estimated that it will need to be repaired if it is to be used in the future.

But these can only be regarded as normal harvests. What really matters is the horses.

Including those recovered in the forest, they captured ninety-two horses in this battle. The remaining ones were either dead or disabled and lost their therapeutic value.

The battlefield was in chaos, and even Lance had no time to think about it. He had already tried his best to ensure the lives of those soldiers.

In his mind, his soldiers are more important than horses after all.

In addition to these ordinary objects, some very interesting things were harvested.

Two sets of high-quality armor and weapons, these are not standard items, as can be seen from the performance in the battle just now.

"The armor is good, and the sword is also a good sword, but it's a pity..."

After Lance's battle with Wolf Warrior, he was not unaware of the importance of armor, but when he picked up the equipment of the two and weighed it, it seemed that it was still Fan Tie.

After using [Spike Fang], he realized that he could not go back, because the armor carefully crafted by these craftsmen would be easily cut open by [Spike Fang].

To meet his needs, I'm afraid it would require extraordinary equipment.

After putting those things down casually, Lance picked up a few small items, but the aura revealed on them indicated that these were extraordinary equipment.

[Defense Mark] increases defense capability, but weakens the power of the burst.

[Knight Badge] Enhances vitality without side effects.

[Swordsman's Badge] increases physical strength, but at the cost of weakening recovery ability.

[Military Order] Enhance the explosive power of muscles and speed up recovery at the cost of lowering resistance to corrosion.

The first two were taken from Alvin's body. They were either for defense or health. There was no doubt that they were used by his family to save his life. They didn't have many side effects.

The two pieces of equipment with extraordinary power taken out by Baron Lawrence both have bonuses for melee combat, although they also suffered a lot of negative effects.

But in fact, the two fighting styles are opposite. Alvin is very aggressive, while Lawrence is more cautious and conservative.

If Leonard hadn't forced him into a corner, there wouldn't have been such a fierce battle just now.

Alvin and Baron Lawrence are both nobles, so it's not surprising that they have these things. Unfortunately, except for the interesting military order, the others are just gadgets, and Lance still doesn't like them.

Lance put his things down for the time being and took out the two people's close-fitting pockets to open the treasure chest.

Some messy things were found inside, but potions accounted for a large part of them.

The packaging of these things was also very familiar to Lance, and he couldn't help but focus on Grendel who was standing aside.

"These are potions made by the Deer Head Tribe. Bastia has always been the main target of transactions between the tribe and the empire." Greendale did not mean to hide it, and admitted it openly.

"Let's talk about these things later." Lance was just curious and had no intention of blaming her. Instead, he reminded her that some things were not suitable to be discussed here.

Greendale fell silent at the right time, followed the direction of Lance's gaze and also noticed Amanda walking over from the other side.

When she saw a black bird in her hand, she couldn't help but whisper something incomprehensible to Lance.

"People from the Eagle Group tame birds. I thought she killed them before, but now it seems that she left the birds with secret skills and let them go on purpose. That's why we can determine the location of these knights."

Why did Greendale suddenly say this?

Lance can probably guess it too.

Greendale's gentle personality does not mean that she is a fool. This is to remind herself that Amanda may have already reviewed the member of the eagle group, or even identified these knights in advance, and the posture she put on later was just acting. Just loyalty.

However, Lance just smiled at this and echoed her: "Don't try to guess people's hearts. We just need to see what she does."

Lance actually knew better than anyone else that Amanda catching someone in front of him was a kind of performance.

But he doesn't care what Amanda has in mind, he just needs to know that what she does is beneficial to him.

Amanda's perception is also very high. She also noticed the gazes and whispers between the two people, but when she got closer, she couldn't hear anything, so she could only open her mouth to test.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Dele and I are studying this thing, and I bet her that Amanda, you might know the origin."

Lance raised the bird whistle he just found from the pocket. This was also a piece of equipment with extraordinary power.

Amanda looked at the thing and saw something just at a glance, with a confident smile on her face.

"This thing is the whistle of the eagles, which can call the birds. People who heard that the eagles also know how to use this thing to communicate and tame the birds."

"It seems I won~" Lance looked at Greendale with a smile.

Greendale was not a fool, so she naturally understood what Lance meant by "she is still useful to me", so she stopped worrying about those things.

Amanda could feel that there seemed to be something against her between them...

In fact, Greendale guessed correctly, but not completely.

Amanda made the decision to side with Lance not after the interrogation, but when Lance was fighting the Wolf Warriors.

Her battle with Laura didn't actually last long, who isn't a genius? A child was controlled by her in just a few moves, so she basically finished watching that battle.

Faced with a monster of that kind of strength, she would probably be killed with a single claw before she could even resist. She even understood that there was no one in the entire organization who could fight against it.

Even if the elders are given a lot of preparation time and several people are present at the same time to use those powerful extraordinary equipment, there is no way they can be an opponent of this kind of monster.

And it was such a powerful monster that was killed by that man alone.

(In Amanda's eyes, Greendale is also a serious scratcher and can basically be ignored.)

When Lance killed the Wolf Warrior, Amanda was completely conquered.

In this desperate world, no one can resist the yearning for power.

Amanda knew the eagles represented Bastia, but so what?

That man is too strong!

No wonder Tamara, that guy with eyes higher than his head and a bad personality, was easily manipulated by him. Now she can understand.

Tamara took away the organization, so she would take away this man.

Question her, understand her, be her.

Amanda desperately needs to show off her abilities to attract his attention.

As for Greendale's wrong guess because of the falcon, it was actually a coincidence.

Amanda originally guessed that the target was other members of the eagle group, so she manipulated the falcon and released it. However, she did not expect that it would be a knight group, and the two people leading the group were both people with special status.

It can be said that Amanda’s tangled reaction after hearing Laura’s words was not fake.

But she understood that if she retreated, she would have no chance at all. Even though she knew that Bastia was far more powerful than Hamlet, she was still willing to believe in that man.

Instead of retreating to protect himself, he stood up to prove his ability.

It's obvious that her actions have changed Lance's mind, because before, he didn't even bother to deal with it, and he wouldn't let her participate in these things.

Amanda did not participate in the battle just now, but from the perspective of a bystander, she saw how terrifying the soldiers under that man's leadership were, and actually allowed him to defeat the Knights of Bastia.

This strengthened Amanda's choice, so after the battle she followed Greendale.

The eagle named Laura did not follow the main force, so she didn't know much about what the knights went through.

What she needed to do was pry open the mouths of those knights to get more information about the knights, and it was obvious that she did it.

Amanda is very self-aware and doesn't want to continue asking questions, so she just takes the initiative to change the topic and reveals her own findings.

"I probably asked what happened after they entered Hamlet..."

Listening to Amanda's narration, Lance was a little dumbfounded. These guys would actually recognize the cultists as their own.

But he soon stopped laughing. He finally understood why the ancestor had the power to descend from the gods. It turned out that so much killing broke out in Hamlet's land.

If dozens or hundreds of people die at once, how powerful evil will breed!

Lance actually knew that the town and other places must have been attacked, but he chose to believe everyone and chose to deal with the knights first.

But they had just finished dealing with the Knights, and before they even sat down to take a rest, these things happened again.

Lance couldn't sit still anymore and raised his hand to interrupt Amanda's narration.

"We'll talk about anything if I come back." He turned to look at Greendale, "I'll leave these things to you."

Lance asked Leonard to summon the cavalry and start cleaning up the cultists around Hamlet, while he rushed out alone.

It is necessary to snatch back those corpses as soon as possible, not only to replenish the consumption of this battle, but also to ensure that the ancestors are not full.

Lance ran away before Amanda could react. For a moment, she was worried about whether her performance had impressed him...

Greendale was used to Lance's resolute behavior, and she had a hunch that after this battle, a new chapter of Hamlet would usher in.

But now we need to deal with the problem in front of us first, so we don’t say anything more and continue to finish the work.

The other knights also had some packages and a lot of things to clear out, and the supplies on the horses also needed to be counted and registered in the warehouse.

There is no concept of private ownership in Hamlet's army. All seizures belong to the public. You will naturally be rewarded for your contribution, whether it is military industry or material rewards, but don't put your mind on other places.

If you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of an army, you must not only have clear rewards and punishments, but also must have strict military discipline.

Once military discipline is corrupted, they will be no different from the armies of other feudal nobles.

Lance directly activated [Blood Hunting] without carefully searching for traces. The route of the Knights appeared in front of him. I can only say that Wolf Warrior's skills are really useful.

The rich blood flowed into his nose before he entered the battlefield. When he got closer, Lance looked at the scene in front of him with unabashed disgust.

The broken limbs, opened flesh, exposed internal organs, and of course the ferocious and twisted face, with dry and black blood stains all over it, made this scene even more desperate.

The blood dyed the earth red, and even contained too much blood that could not penetrate in a short time and gathered in the low-lying areas to form blood pits. I wonder what monsters will be born under its nourishment after today.

As he said, he doesn't like seeing blood or killing. I'm afraid many of these people are not actually believers of the Ascension Sect, but are just ignorant people who have been encouraged.

But Lance didn't have time to sigh slowly here, so he quickly sacrificed the corpses and then hurried to the next place.

Lance didn't dare to stay, because every minute he delayed, his ancestor's power would grow stronger...
