Our family is in decline

Lance raised his hand to sacrifice the fat pig, and the spiritual feedback made his eyes light up.

What a guy, there's actually a pig-man slaughterer who can compete with four or five pigs.

The pig assassin who killed Amanda was sacrificed. Although he was short in stature, the spiritual feedback he received was stronger than that of the pigs he had encountered before. This may be due to his extraordinary power.

But when he looked at the pig assassin killed by Wangcai, his expression was a little helpless.

This is why Lance doesn't let Wangcai take action very often. It will directly swallow up the spirituality of the prey, which will cause the corpse to lose the value of sacrifice.

Lance can't even eat enough now, and his pockets are empty, so he can only make money through hardship.

But another advantage is that the corpse whose soul was devoured by Wangcai has no traces of physical damage and remains relatively intact.

It was perfect material for dissection, which was definitely good news for Paracelsus.

After simply clearing the battlefield, Lance raised the torch and continued deeper. After walking a few steps, he found the beginning and immediately captured him, then injured the pig drummer who had been killed by the enemy.

There was nothing special, the appearance was similar to what I had encountered before, except that Alhazred said something at this time.

"There is strong resentment accumulated on this human skin drum, and I seem to hear miserable wails. This is the product of evil witchcraft. It requires skinning people alive, and using secret rituals to seal the desperate souls in extreme pain... "

Alhazred is indeed a professional and even knows how to make it, but he was a little hesitant when he said it.

"But...how did this kind of cult ritual appear here? These pig people..."

According to what the scholar said, the pig drummer's ability to beat the desperate drumbeat that erodes sanity is not due to its own ability, but with the help of the human skin drum.

But there must be someone who made this kind of thing and taught them how to use it.

Lance knew that bringing him here would help him discover a lot of things that he couldn't discover on his own, but sometimes it wasn't good to be too curious.

However, Lance had no intention of stopping his curiosity. Anyway, the Ascension Sect took the blame in the end.

"Rest in peace~" Lance raised his hand and sacrificed the body and the spirit on the human skin drum, directly clearing away the remaining resentment on it.

Alhazred noticed this, and although his expression was calm, it still shocked him somewhat.

Because the evil aura on the human skin drum had completely disappeared, and it was so clean that it was even a little difficult for him to understand.

However, after gradually seeing the power of the lord, Alhazred understood that the strength of the man in front of him was unfathomable.

I hope that one day my soul can rest in peace in his hands...

"Let's go, let's make a big fuss and tell the pig..." Lance was a little excited because of the spirituality brought by the fat pig, and he couldn't help but grin, "I'm fucking coming!"

"Big Flying Pillar, just wait for me!" Boudica raised her ax gun and howled. It was obvious that she had recovered from the battle just now.

However, a bit of resentment could be heard in the words, and it was obvious that he was unhappy that he almost didn't win the fight just now.

Continue to set off, but because the pig assassin can sneak, we still adjusted the team structure.

Boudicca was in position one, Amanda was in position two, Alhazred was in position three, and Lance was directly at the end holding the torch.

In fact, because the passage was widened by the pigs, positions two and three are actually almost side by side, forming quite a diamond formation.

The terrain of the beast cave is very complex, and many passages are connected to each other. He cannot guarantee whether there will be pigmen coming around, because this kind of thing has happened several times before.

Not to mention that there is now an additional pig assassin who can sneak and become invisible!

Because there are no eyes on the back of the head, when you leave your back to the darkness, the pressure you have to endure is even greater, and you need to always be careful about what is behind you.

But Lance has always been indifferent.

Amanda is used to carrying out killing missions alone. Even if she joins forces with others in the organization, she does her own thing. It is rare to feel such a positive team atmosphere.

When Lance took the initiative to stand in the most dangerous place, he didn't even need to say anything to make Amanda feel a strong sense of security.

All she knew was that she had nothing to worry about behind her.

The team keeps moving forward and has now entered an area that has not been explored before, but it still needs to be marked and drawn.

Once you have figured out the situation in the den, you will bring the guards over to practice. What level can you tell by fighting with others? They must be gradually exposed to more Hamlet specialties.

This is the enemy [Heart of Steel] will need to face in the future!

…………

On the outskirts of Owendo, Water Manor.

The team returning from Hamlet had twenty more carriages than when they left, also loaded with various supplies.

When I went there, I collected various materials that Hamlet urgently needed, such as iron ingots, gunpowder, etc., and there were even weapons and equipment from the armory, such as armor, crossbows, and the like.

At the same time, grain and livestock will be purchased along the way, and everything that can be taken away will be brought back to Hamlet to provide resources for production and development.

There were no materials on the car coming back, and it was mainly bags of grain and agricultural and sideline products.

The main agricultural and sideline products are eggs, salted fish, and smoked pork. These were not very expensive in the past, and most people with stable jobs in the city could afford them.

But now there is a food shortage in the city, and even the price of food is no longer affordable for ordinary people, let alone these.

But there are still people in the city who can afford these. You can imagine who they are.

Moreover, there is also a truckload of refined salt in the convoy. These items are imported from Totnes and are exclusively for nobles. The price is more expensive than half of the convoy's goods.

Not to mention that refined salt does not have a bitter taste and greatly improves the taste of food.

But what is more important to the audience is face, and some people are willing to pay for it.

The motorcade gradually merged into the manor, and Vic also came directly to the room.

"Good news, the Lord has agreed to your plan and allows you to go ahead and do it boldly."

Vic put the registration form for this shipment on the table, then took out a letter from his body, covered it and pushed it over, "This is a reply from your family."

After doing this, Vic lay down casually on the chair next to him and took a long breath, feeling relaxed.

The exhaustion on his face was undisguised, because he had a special mission to go back this time.

In order to carry out the plan just mentioned, they need to obtain the lord's consent before they can continue, and Ovendo also needs to get a reply, so they must rush back as soon as possible on the road.

But as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but speak.

"You don't know how much Hamlet has changed. It's only been half a month since I saw a lot of new and interesting things in the town. The newly built bathhouse..."

Vic's interest was not bad at all, and he spoke with a bit of pride when talking about Hamlet.

Walter also picked up the envelope and checked it. The situation at home was very good. He could feel from the words that his children had found things they liked, but his wife was worried about his safety.

But it was this that made Walter feel at ease, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"...You don't know that the town's pub has newly launched cold beer. A bottle of it on a hot day will make your whole body fly."

Walter carefully put away the letter, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard what he said.

"It's nice for you to have a vacation, but it's hard for me because I'm so busy here."

When it came to business, Vic couldn't help but restrain himself, and asked instead: "By the way, how was the situation in the city these days when I left?"

"Not good." The smile on Walter's face quickly faded, "Many people have starved to death in the city, and there have been several riots. Although they were all suppressed in the end, the blood on the streets has not been washed away yet.

What's even more troublesome is that no one knows where those corpses have gone. Logically speaking, with so many corpses, there must be traces if you want to dispose of them, but I didn't find them.

Moreover, more and more people are missing in the city. I can’t say what the situation is. I can only ask our people to be careful. "

When Vic heard these words, the expression on his face became more serious, and his paralyzed body couldn't help but sit up straight.

The situation in the city was not like this before he left. He had only been away for a few days, so how could it become like this?

Especially since he had just returned from Hamlet, such a comparison was like pulling him from heaven to hell in an instant, and he couldn't help but ask questions.

"The order has been so broken even before the war started. What do the bureaucrats in the city do for a living?"

After hearing this, Walter laughed abnormally and made a sarcastic remark.

"Hahaha! Aren't they always busy eating?"

The two have been partners for a while, and Vic is not the ignorant person before, so he naturally understands what Walter means.

In fact, this level of chaos is not important to those people at all. On the contrary, it is a great opportunity to harvest all the savings of ordinary people for half their lives.

How can you stop now when your mouth is full of oil?

Vic also seems to understand how bad those guys are, because he has been one of the victims.

But this only brings out the greatness of the lord and the beauty of Hamlet.

"What are those business groups doing? They won't stop."

"Well, I was about to tell you about this." Walter nodded in agreement, and then talked about another thing.

"It is basically impossible to supply the front line with Owendo's food. Now the grain stocks of these farms around Owendo have been emptied, and the food in the fields is still one month away from the autumn harvest, but those guys Instead, more and more food is needed.

In order to find more food, Jean is going to take the lead in reopening other trade routes and supply the front with food from the entire Hamlet area. To this end, he is poaching our people and inquiring about the situation of the caravan. "

Due to previous wars, many robbers and bandits entered the territory of Hamlet. These guys burned, killed and looted, which greatly increased the pressure on the survival of large and small caravans.

Those small caravans couldn't resist and killed a lot of them. It was Walter who took over and also got the channels and trade routes they operated.

As for the large caravans, they were no longer willing to withstand the endless attacks, and chose to give up going deep into other villages and towns in Hamlet, and instead chose some nearby town farms for supply in Owendo.

Even so, Walter and Vic also initiated many actions, pretending to be bandits and robbed those caravans, so that they could always maintain the idea that "robbers and bandits are rampant outside".

It can be said that they are the only ones in the entire Owendo City who have the ability to enter and leave the Hamlet area. Even Walter did not forget to let out the news that his caravan was often attacked and suffered heavy losses, and then took the opportunity to raise the price.

At the same time, they used this as an excuse to recruit more people, but every time they came back there were always far fewer people, concealing the fact that they were transporting to Hamlet, and deepening the impression of other caravans.

It can only be said that Walter is still very cunning and has plundered so many resources and people, and still no one can find out.

But now the surrounding food supply has been hollowed out, causing prices to be pushed up again.

Business behavior is all about profit, and there is nothing they dare not do in the face of huge interests.

This is what Gene has in mind now, and it's obvious that they also know where the food in Walter's hands comes from.

"Hmph! Such a big ambition, isn't he afraid of something unexpected happening?"

Vic had a cold face, this Hamlet was not a place where he could come and leave whenever he wanted.

Behind the fact that Walter's caravan was able to enter and exit freely was the Hamlet cavalry who dispatched several times to clear out the bandit dens of the large bandit group.

There are also the channels and routes accumulated before, and finally the escort team formed by Hamlet's retired soldiers for the skeleton.

Even so, we often encounter some problems. From the blood stained on Vic's clothes now, we know that this road is not easy to follow.

What does Jean have?

"One thing you may not know is that Jean did make a right bet. The front line persisted without being breached by the rebels. And although his efforts to transport food to the front line were for money, he was also valued by a certain big shot. Become a knight.

Although Jean has no fiefdom and no real power, he is only an honorary knight in name. Even everyone knows that he paid for it, but it does not prevent him from really getting on board, so he naturally has to work harder. "

Walt was quite emotional when he said this. Sometimes it's not how good you are, but the situation that makes the hero.

If the society was stable, Jean, a stinky businessman who wanted to climb the aristocracy, would probably be kicked away. But now he seized the opportunity and not only made a lot of money, but also got the title of an honorary noble.

The Jean family will also benefit from this opportunity, and it may not be impossible to get out of the small place of Owendo.

"So we're going to find a way to fuck him up?" Vic looked at Walter and nodded, without any hesitation on his face.

As mentioned before, the horse bandit played by Vic has robbed a lot of goods from those caravans, and people have also become the dead souls of his sword.

He only serves Hamlet's interests and no one else is in his consideration.

This is how the world is...
