Our family is in decline

"Yeah, it's getting dark."

Lance followed Baldwin's words and looked outside. Darkness enveloped the earth, and he didn't know how long it took him this time.

It was nothing at first, until he walked out and got the relevant information from the soldiers stationed there.

Looking up at the black curtain again, Lance suddenly realized that he was also affected by the dungeon, otherwise how could he not feel the evil that enveloped Hamlet?

But there was no time to worry about this now. Lance quickly gathered the team and asked them to retreat to the small dock on the cliff.

There is no need to guard the old house in this situation now. If there is any problem, it cannot be tolerated. Lance is very worried that the soldiers will be corrupted by the leaked power, and then there will be trouble.

The range here on the cliff is reduced. You only need to set up a few fire pots to illuminate the defense line. Moreover, it is backed by the sea. If there is any problem, you only need to defend one side, because you are also under the sea cliff.

Their mission is to protect the elevator at the pier. Even if there is a problem elsewhere, Lance will have to kill him at worst.

After hurriedly arranging these, Lance took the people by boat and rushed back to Hamlet.

This time, he did not act as secretively as before. Instead, he deliberately rode a tall horse and walked through Hamlet Street. He did not even take care of his slightly messy appearance, but showed a high-spirited attitude.

While on the ship, he had already contacted Grendel via messenger and understood what was happening outside after he unlocked the saint's ritual and activated the Iron Crown.

There is no doubt that this is the power left over from the great disaster that year, but because there are no millions of people as sacrifices, it does not cause exaggerated casualties. This is the only good news.

Although it subsided, the existence of the shady world cut off not only the sun, but also the hope of the people.

And what Lance wants to do is to give them hope.

Tell them that the lord did not leave. On the contrary, the lord was fighting on the front line, keeping the more terrifying enemies at bay.

Sure enough, the impetuous people's hearts were calmed down, and the people wholeheartedly welcomed him, and he walked around in a circle before returning to the lord's mansion.

A group of senior officials had gathered in the hall, and they had all been summoned back in advance.

"Many of you don't know what happened. Let me just say that after breaking through the old house occupied by the cult, we found a secret passage hidden by them.

I discovered the ritual they had built to awaken the evil god. This time I took people down and directly destroyed part of it, causing the power of the ritual to leak out, which led to the current situation. "

Lance didn't mean to hide it at all. There were some things they knew and could handle better. Of course he knew what they were worried about, so he comforted them.

"Don't worry, I destroyed part of the ritual, and the evil god's power was also limited. You just need to give me a little more time to completely break the ritual, and Hamlet's situation will be solved."

Those who can enter here today are absolutely loyal. After receiving Lance's explanation, that's it. They have been preparing to confront the evil god, so they didn't react much.

What they need more is the lord's guidance on what to do next.

“Have an expanded meeting and let others come.”

Lance made arrangements with everyone, and then called more people, such as Amanda, Boudica and Tardif, who were not involved in military or government affairs.

I said what I just said again, explaining the reason for the shady situation, but it was more of a brushstroke, and it gave a characterization.

"Our war with the cult has reached the final and most critical stage. These desperate counterattacks cannot scare me."

Everyone fell into silence regarding these words. Only those who have entered the dungeon understand that things are far from that simple.

People's hearts were shaken, but Lance was not in a hurry. Instead, he spoke to signal.

"I know what everyone is worried about. The door of Hamlet is open, and you can get out as soon as you come in. Everyone has difficulties, and being able to get here is enough."

This is undoubtedly telling them that if they want to leave, there is no need to stop them. Now is no longer the time when there were only a few people at the beginning. A few more or less will not change his plan.

And they don't involve others. Their departure will have little impact if the real core remains unchanged.

Everyone here knows more or less about Hamlet's past, but they don't have much idea about the evil god, so they never thought anything of it.

Until the dark curtain shrouded the entire Hamlet, to be honest, it was so powerful that they couldn't even muster the determination to resist.

Before that, the black curtain shrouded me and I didn't react immediately. The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

But no one wanted to leave at all, not even the bounty hunter Tardif.

After all, there are not many places like Hamlet in the world, and it is even more impossible to find a nobleman who can treat them like Lance.

Whether seeking redemption, escaping the past, or pursuing fame and fortune, these people will rally around him.

This accident caused Lance's plan to go awry, forcing him to continue investing resources to advance the dungeon, and the sooner the better.

But he still had confidence and smiled and reassured everyone.

"The dark curtain is just a sign of dawn, so don't worry."

After hearing these words, the emotions of several people calmed down, and most of the pressure was eliminated. It can only be said that as long as the lord stands there, even if he does nothing, he can make people confident.

"Then let's stop talking nonsense and talk about the situation and how to solve it."

Now that the united front has been completed, let’s get straight to the topic.

Everyone is familiar with the style of the lord. He started to sort these out and put forward several main points as early as after the incident.

"Since the emergence of the black curtain, Hamlet has been greatly affected in the past few days, mainly in several aspects.

Not many of these people know about the great disaster that happened in Hamlet that year, but they could not resist the spread of the news by those with ulterior motives, which led to panic and a lot of people leaving..."

First of all, some people spread fear and caused some people to run away. In addition, the difficulty of management in the dim scene has risen sharply, and many not-so-good cases have occurred.

Then the arrival of the extreme darkness has affected production and life, reducing efficiency and consuming more resources.

The only advantage is that the autumn harvest has already ended, otherwise the long darkness may affect the grain, but it is hard to say about the medicinal fields.

There are also dozens of police casualties, and those ordinary people have also been injured and killed, exposing the equipment problems of the police...

Anyway, various problems are put forward. Hamlet is now severely affected by the arrival of the extreme darkness. That is, Lance, the squirrel party, likes to hide goods, and resources are still easy to say.

Especially food, several warehouses are full, and the food supply can be stabilized no matter how chaotic it is.

Lance nodded, and began to arrange tasks and adjust the original strategy according to the issues just discussed.

First of all, it is about the new town and the ruins. This is a bomb. If you don't play it well, it will fall on your hands.

"You made a good decision in the new town. You used the legend of the legion to attract those adventurers. Now we mainly stabilize the basic situation.

The work of all Hamlet should be maintained as much as possible, and even more short-term workers should be released. Even if it costs some money, most ordinary people should have something to do, otherwise they will have wild thoughts."

The source of these problems is the black curtain above the head. It is also simple to solve, but it takes time, so stability is the most important.

And what can make those adventurers and those "rats" shrink back to the sewer? Of course it is strength.

"We must show our strength to those adventurers. They can only understand fists. This is a good opportunity to train the troops and try the legion combat to lay the foundation for the future."

The army fought small-scale battles in the middle and late stages of fighting with the cultists in the wilderness. At the same time, there was a lack of coordination between cavalry, artillery and infantry, as well as tactics.

Lance is not good at fighting, but Patton is a top student of Totnes Gunnery College, Reynard has also commanded the army, and Barristan has been exposed to many infantry tactics...

Anyway, take this opportunity to integrate the army and accumulate experience in legionary combat. After all, the enemies they will face in the future are not cultists, and Lance is used to being prepared.

Patton made eye contact with several commanders. Their so-called attack on the ruins was just a show, but they did not really want to go to war with the skeletons. The lord is now going to do it for real.

"My lord, a lot of supplies, especially gunpowder, were consumed in order to support the soldiers trapped in the ruins. I think it’s better to postpone it. Anyway, the red fog blocks those people from seeing it."

The cavalry can go in and out without too many casualties because several carts of bombs have been blown up, which emptied the reserves on the front line and has not been replenished yet.

The power that can blow up the skeletons, you don’t have to think about it to know that grenades are actually only a part of these bombs, and more are used as shells for mortars.

One can be the size of three grenades, with more gunpowder loaded, and the power is naturally greater.

But now the bombing is over, and not counting other consumables, the supplies on the front line can hardly support a war.

Patton said this to tactfully remind the lord that the front line cannot really fight now, if it is exposed, it will be troublesome.

It is also a step for Lance to step down. Following this reason, the decision can be postponed. The fault is that they knocked on the plan at the beginning, and the lord is not to blame.

It can only be said that Patton was very emotionally intelligent to be able to get up at the beginning.

But Lance did not agree with this kind of rhetoric. Don't follow Patton's logic. If so, wouldn't it be equivalent to denying the support action?

Who dares to take risks in the future? "Friendly troops are in trouble and remain unmoved" cannot appear in Hamlet.

And the few people here were rescued. Isn't it a bit hurtful for you to say this in front of them?

Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity.

Lance immediately criticized.

"Are my soldiers not worth those supplies?"

"My lord, that's not what I mean..."

Lance did not keep a straight face, but slowed down his tone to appease.

"I know you are worried that the risky action was not approved, but you did a good job and tried your best to save your companions. This is our Hamlet.

Besides, the situation on the front line does not allow too much time to hesitate. I will not blame you. Just make up a report."

After saying that, he took the initiative to skip the unimportant preaching and issued an order.

"No need to say more. Please report how much supplies you need and I will prepare them for you. All you need is to prepare a battle plan. Now the front line cannot do without you. Go."

Patton could also hear the lord's words to protect him. He turned the key topic to the fact that the process was not followed, which was also an explanation for him.

What else can Patton say about this? Loyalty!

"Yes!"

Patton took the order and left. The performance of the police in this disaster was as problematic as the army.

Give the police better equipment, and equip the special police with bayonets, spears, bombs, Molotov cocktails, zombie spores and other props.

Mental attacks on physical armor are useless, because most of the deaths here are caused by heart failure due to the violent spiritual impact.

On the contrary, some police officers resisted. It can only be said that the power of will is still very strong.

But it was undeniable that there were escaping police officers. This was not surprising under the circumstances, and Lance didn't hesitate much.

"It is indeed terrifying for ordinary people to face the corrupted Fallen. I don't blame them, but they abandoned their teammates. This is not allowed. Fire them. Let them resign in consideration of their past contributions."

Lance didn't hesitate too much here. After all, rules are rules. If you enjoy better treatment than ordinary people and gain a better social status, you must bear corresponding responsibilities.

When you evade responsibility, you have already given up. Lance can't give them any forgiveness. That would be unfair to others who insist.

The most I can do is to let them retire on their own despite the hard work and give them some dignity.

That is to say, they did not run away on a large scale, otherwise it would cause more serious problems, and Lance would definitely catch the example.

"Get ready. I'm going to visit the police and the families of the dead and injured. I'll offer my condolences and compensation... They are all heroes."

Now that the situation is critical, Lance must act appropriately.

William also followed the order and left. He had also been running around these days, and he knew many of the police officers who died.

There are young people who have just joined the police force. Those who can pass the examination are all smart and diligent children. Not everyone can have the perseverance to write down so many rules and regulations.

There are also some who have been veteran policemen for a while, but they are still in their teens and 20s and are full of energy. They are either the mainstay of the family or the treasure of the family.

But now they're all gone...

But I was glad that they were in Hamlet and that the lord had not forgotten them.

Things were told one by one, and Lance also learned more about what happened when he left.

Those people raised questions and also thought about solutions to these problems. They communicated quickly and quickly understood how to deal with it under the guidance of Lance.

Lance is like a processor that gets a reasonable answer no matter what question is input.

That kind of calm decision also gave everyone a glimmer of light in their hearts that were shrouded in darkness and confused.

Thanks [I don’t want my account to be stolen again] for the 10,000 reward!
