Our family is in decline

Refugees want to live and have a place to stay. Although there are some people who give up for the sake of relics, most of them can no longer withstand the hardship.

In addition to refugees, there are many people who come to Hamlet, with their own ideas in mind, and plunge into the new world.

"You...stop first."

The soldiers at the checkpoint stopped a very suspicious guy. Most of his body was wrapped in rags like a sheet, even his head was included, and only his eyes were exposed.

Although refugees like to wrap themselves in rags, what really attracts attention is the movement that comes from his body when he moves around.

That was the sound of chains colliding, and they were familiar with it. They immediately aroused suspicion and raised their hands to signal.

"You come over here first, don't be nervous, we are just doing a simple hearing."

The words did not irritate the man, but the soldiers were already on guard and would control him if he caused trouble.

The man seemed to realize that he was surrounded, but he did not put up any fierce resistance. Instead, he sighed and walked aside.

"Do you have any weapons on you?"

"No." The man took the initiative to open up the rag that was wrapped around him and turned it into a cloak, revealing the naked upper body in the front, with a pair of dark tattered shorts underneath and bare feet.

It can be seen at a glance that there are no weapons in this costume, but what is strange about this man is that there are chains wrapped around his body, several unique locks are hung in them, and there are shackles on his wrists. I don’t know what the situation is.

An exaggerated scar can be seen on his head that occupies half of his head, leaving only half of his hair hanging down. It is not clear what caused it, but a vague pattern can be seen.

You want to say that some ferocious criminal escaped... But looking at the bearded face, the cheeks are sunken and the mouth is a little chapped. Both the evasive eyes and the rickety body have a sense of cowardice and decadence.

He is really a weirdo... but they have met a lot during this period. Although they were a little surprised at the beginning, they soon realized it.

"Why are you doing this? Where do you come from? What are you doing in Hamlet?"

As soon as one of them opened his mouth, he just asked a question and his attention was suddenly attracted by some restlessness coming from the old road ahead.

Even the man couldn't help but look back and found a team of ten people walking on the old road.

The members all wore a full set of ancient empire armor, metal masks, and cloaks to cover them, and the leading captain's helmet had a red mane.

These people were fully armed, with a large black shield in each hand, and a special-shaped sword at their waist.

These people are different from the Empire in terms of the style of their equipment or other aspects, making it even more difficult to believe that this team seems to have come through.

Anyone who has worn full-body armor knows that it is not suitable for long periods of time. Coupled with the shield in the hand, this kind of armor is usually transported on a pack horse or in a convoy, or placed in a warehouse, and is worn only in war.

Who can wear armor and march for so long?

This cannot be a normal person.

But these people didn't seem to pay attention to other people at all, and walked alone.

The team formed a 3×3 square formation, with a captain walking in front. They walked in uniform steps. They were obviously just a few people, but they were like a legion.

Hamlet's soldiers have also received military training. How can you not see that these people cooperate as a whole and are not easy to mess with at first glance.

Wherever the legions went, no one wanted to stop them. The crowds of people gathered automatically separated, making them even more prominent.

But those soldiers did not dare to let go, but firmly stopped in front of the checkpoint to stop them.

"Stop! Here is Hamlet, tell me why you are here."

"Ha!" The legion shouted loudly when it stopped, raised its shield towards the soldiers, and drew out the short-edged sword from its waist.

At one time, more than a dozen rifles were aimed at the surroundings, and the black muzzles were pointed at the legion. At the same time, someone turned around and ran back to call someone.

If this is weak, then the soldiers will not even think about guarding this place. This is Hamlet, and they must be stronger!

The two sides fell into a confrontation for a while, which directly made the atmosphere of the entire environment become heavy, as if a war was about to break out.

Those who are queuing up to enter the city should also stay away from here, otherwise they will be unlucky if they get accidentally injured.

Some of them looked over with interest and began to discuss who was more powerful.

The soldiers were also a little undecided whether to take action or not.

At this time, several people came from behind and shouted to stop the imminent battle.

"Don't fight! Don't fight!"

The person making the call was the person in charge of entrance and exit management. He had no authority to command the soldiers, but he could inform them of policy changes from above.

After they leaned over and whispered for a while, the team leader asked the soldiers to withdraw and replaced them with them.

"There are no goods and no muskets, so we passed." The person in charge came up and took a brief look before waving to let go of the legion.

The leader of the legion didn't say a word, he just raised his hand and continued to move forward. The teammates behind him also put away their offensive posture and continued to march silently.

The person in charge shouted loudly, emphasizing the rules to attract everyone's attention again and cover up the commotion just now.

"Don't worry, everyone! Our Hamlet follows the rules. As long as you don't bring any contraband, you can enter..."

"It's all gone."

"Get in line, get in line, and don't block those behind you if you don't want to go in."

Other staff members also stepped forward and shouted to distract everyone, while the person in charge turned around and ran back to report something.

The farce was put down, causing some people who wanted to watch the fun to complain in a low voice, but they didn't dare to really provoke anything.

"You go over there."

The soldier put down his musket and returned here. He looked at the chained man again without saying any more nonsense, but let him go directly.

If it were before, they wouldn't be able to control so much. Such suspicious people would definitely need to be investigated in more detail, or they might be banned from entering.

But now the higher-ups have issued instructions not to irritate some special guys when they meet them. As long as they don't violate the rules, don't worry about them, so they don't embarrass him.

The other person also seemed to understand something and didn't say much more, but he still emphasized one sentence.

"Remember that Hamlet is different from other places. Don't make trouble, otherwise no one can save you."

The weirdo was a little surprised to hear that he passed so easily. He was ready to be expelled. After all, he couldn't even enter a city like Totnes, which is famous for its openness.

Although it was also because of my special status, I was afraid of being exposed and hunted down by the church when I went to those places.

"Thank you." The man put on the rag again without much hesitation, and walked towards the prosperous Hamlet step by step, dragging his body covered in chains.

The appearance of Legion was an unceremonious display of its strength, which aroused the attention of Hamlet's senior management, and even caused concerns about the management of extraordinary beings. They appeared in the office to discuss.

"What's going on with those guys? I don't feel like they're human."

"Their outfits look like ancient empires."

"The ancient empire has been gone for hundreds of years, and now only a small country is left with its name."

"That is, if the people of Romulus want to come over by boat, who will come over wearing armor?"

"The most important thing is that those guys are very strong..."

It is true that Baldwin is a legendary strongman, but he has been a king in another place since he was a child. After the accident, he began to wander and had no contact with the supernatural world, so he did not understand the extraordinary people on this continent.

William was even more worried about whether there would be any problems if he let it in. At least he had to understand its origin and purpose before he could arrange a plan.

Before the discussion here came to a conclusion, Greendale came in with someone else.

"Katherine may know something about the situation, so don't worry about it yet."

Greendale didn't think why Lance paid so much attention to the news about the supernatural world before. He only found a few consultants. After Tamara ran away, he turned around and found Amanda.

She thought he was good at this, but when the extraordinary people poured into Hamlet, she understood the importance of extraordinary intelligence. The lord's arrangements were forward-looking and it seemed that he had always intended to collect relevant information.

If Amanda were here I'm afraid she could say something, but it's a pity that people are on the front lines now.

So she could only find Catherine who was going to work as an antique expert in New Town.

As an apprentice of a bald wizard, even if I don't know much about it, I have heard about it.

After hearing about those situations, he talked about what he knew.

"The Legion of the Ancient Empire is a rumor that has been circulating for hundreds of years. People can only tell that it is related to the Ancient Empire from the equipment on their bodies.

But there is no doubt that their existence is even longer than that of the ancient empire. Even though the ancient empire has long since disappeared, they are still active on the continent.

We can't tell whether it's the same person underneath those armors, or whether different people put on those armors and fight.

However, their goals are very clear. All situations related to the Necromancer will cause them to appear, and they seem to be constantly looking for something.

So some people speculated whether this team was still performing some of the last missions of the ancient empire and keeping some secrets.

Some people also think that they have never believed in the destruction of the empire, so they want to find a necromancer to resurrect the ancient empire army to cause a natural disaster of the undead..."

Catherine's understanding of this aspect is only very basic, and she doesn't know much information. It's more like integrating some legends she has heard.

So at the end, Catherine added one sentence to avoid misjudgment due to her own words.

"These are all legends. I didn't expect the Legion to really exist. There may be some mistakes."

However, this information also gave them a reference. It is very likely that this legion came for the undead in the ruins.

"Just guide them to the ruins."

"Find someone to inform Alhazred to explain the situation. Maybe he knows something different."

"Now let's stabilize the situation first, and we'll do the rest after the lord comes back."

A few people discussed it and decided not to provoke the Legion, but to help them find the ruins directly.

None of you here are fools. Anyone who uses their brains knows that the church cannot allow the Legion to exist, but it has appeared now and has existed for so many years.

The reason, of course, cannot be that the church feels that the undead killed by the legion are all doing great work. On the contrary, this kind of thing is a slap in the face of the church.

It can only be that the legions are too strong and the church cannot kill them, so they can be allowed to roam the continent.

However, the power of the church is relatively strong within the empire, and other countries and regions on the mainland may not care about this.

Anyway, no one is stupid enough to provoke a legion that has been fighting since the ancient empire.

Hamlet's efficiency was still fast. When the legion entered the city, they had already arranged for a smart person to lead the way.

Baldwin and the others cannot show up and must hide behind the scenes. If something goes wrong, they will take action again, otherwise the situation will only become more and more chaotic.

Fortunately, although the legion was silent, they did not mean to hurt anyone. Instead, they followed the guidance and bypassed the bustling central square and continued marching towards the ruins.

"Cultists have special physiques but they can also be exhausted, and they seem to be tireless." William noticed that those people were holding square shields instead of carrying them on their backs, let alone placing them on the ground.

"The pace and movement are like a whole, and I'm not sure I can beat them." Baldwin was also quite confident in his own strength, but he also sighed watching this scene.

"Hamlet does not fight alone." Greendale reminded calmly.

To be honest, she didn't like what Baldwin said. The lord didn't relax in handing Hamlet to us just for this reason.

If you can't win alone, won't you call someone else? If guns don't work, then use cannons. If anyone dares to cause trouble, Greendale will directly use them as flower fertilizer.

Compared to the legion that received secret attention, more extraordinary people were hiding among ordinary people and observing this unique place.

Their first impression was that everything belonging to the church had been eliminated here. There were no luxurious churches and no noble and domineering clergy. The people here only cared about the rules set by the lord.

For most of their retail investors, although the rules are cumbersome, at least they no longer have to worry about church judges coming to BBQ.

There will be some discomfort at first, but you will soon get used to it. As long as you don't want to cause trouble, it's basically the same as normal life, or even easier.

Outside the door of the tavern, there was a clown in strange clothes playing, his fingertips beating on the strings, and even his body seemed to be moving along with it.

The brisk rhythm seemed to be magical, making those onlookers reluctant to leave, with a faint smile on their faces.

It wasn't until the song ended and the clown bowed with the lute that the crowd applauded and cheered, and then scattered copper coins were thrown into the piano bag on the ground.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the clown packed up the bag of rewards. It seemed to be only about ten copper coins, but it was even higher than the income in big cities.

Suddenly he felt something and raised his head. A figure wrapped in rags walked by. Their eyes passed by each other, but the other party did not respond. He just tightened the rags that were slightly thin in the autumn wind.

But both sides have already felt something. There is no doubt that more and more extraordinary people are coming here...
