Our family is in decline

Everyone seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but focus on the lord who was sitting upright.

The face is resolute, the eyes are sharp, not angry but powerful.

The majesty emanating from them caused their breathing rhythm to slow down subconsciously, for fear of disturbing the lord.

Some time ago, he was just a scholar. Now, after many battles, his hands were stained with countless blood, and his whole body has developed a power. It is an aura that ordinary people cannot have. He is indeed a man who has experienced divine revelation!

But Lance soon seemed to realize something.

I am obviously a scholar, why did I suddenly become so warlike and murderous?

It seems that his excessive inspiration allows him to see many scenes that ordinary people cannot see, and he is also more susceptible to the influence of the indescribable things.

Only killing can make the old guy complete the ritual. Sure enough, the corruption in this land has never stopped~

Oh no! I have [Asylum] and corruption cannot affect me.

It turns out that I am really belligerent, so that’s okay.

Keep killing.

"What do you think we should do next?"

"Drill new recruits." Barristan thought of the military discipline issue that Lance had just mentioned.

"Be prepared to defend against the bandits." Disma thought of the bandits who were about to arrive.

"The Light will guide us."

Lance smacked his lips and thought for a moment before expressing his understanding.

"The new recruits are not being trained for a while. As for the bandits, it takes two to three days to assemble. Our target in these two days is the boss of the boat. This guy also reaped the dividends of banditry. He took the opportunity to raise the price of fish and recruit the fishermen at low prices. He did not cooperate. Just suppress and rob, otherwise, where do you think so many unemployed fishermen in the town come from?"

Everyone was a little confused.

Why did you take action now instead of not moving before?

"At that time, the number one threat to the town was order and food, so the mayor and farmers had to die. When these problems are resolved, the biggest threat we face is bandits. If we want to suppress the bandits, we must ensure that there will be no problems later.

The tavern is related to the guild, and the casino is related to pirates. These two cannot be acted upon rashly. The boss of the ship occupies the dock and monopolizes the fishing boats in the town. It is difficult for the few of us to completely control him. Once they go to sea, we can only watch them. .

You can think about it, if I directly went to war with them at that time, even if I took down the boss of the ship, what would be the reaction of the remaining two after moving one? Can the town still be as peaceful as it is now?

But now that the bandits are gone, we still have new recruits available, so it would be nice to let them see blood. "

Several people fell into thinking after hearing this, and understood what Lance meant.

When there are external and internal troubles, we must first stabilize the internal situation. Only after the external threats are resolved can we be free to deal with internal conflicts. Otherwise, being dragged into the quagmire of civil strife will mean a slow death.

Now that most of the foreign troubles have been eliminated, the remaining ones are not enough to deal with the fishermen recruits under the boat bosses. They can also train their troops before the bandits arrive.

"When will we do it?" Disma didn't care about that, he just needed to know his mission.

"No hurry, everyone has been tired for two days. Let's take a rest first and have a good sleep tonight." Lance smiled and signaled for them to disperse.

But just as a few people were leaving, Susan came over.

"Sir, the man you brought back is awake."

Lance looked at each other, then nodded and walked over.

Disma and the others did not leave, but followed them.

Lance didn't tell anyone else the captain's identity, so Susan just regarded him as a rescued person.

Because those women knew his identity, the captain was not arranged to the nursing home, but was arranged in a room here.

Several people entered it and saw the captain who was still very weak and could not even move.

All his armor and weapons were put away, and his body was simply bandaged. It was a wound intentionally left by Lance.

"You're awake."

Lance moved forward and lifted him up to sit on the head of the bed.

"Who are you? Where are you?"

The captain seemed very lost. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the corpses of those soldiers. He could hear them wailing in his ears, asking himself why he didn't take them home instead of taking such a road~

The ghosts of those soldiers who died tragically were demanding their lives from him, and that feeling began to torment him ever since he regained consciousness.

"I am the lord of Hamlet Town, and you are now on Hamlet's land."

Lance's simple words made the captain wake up from his crazy state.

When he heard the name Hamlet, he was stunned, and then his face was full of disbelief.

The person who rescued him turned out to be the lord of the town that he robbed.

"I...I am..."

But now, he doesn't even dare to admit his identity, because he clearly remembers the tragic situation when he led troops to massacre a small town, and all this suffering was caused by himself.

He did not dare to face the soldiers who died in battle, nor the townspeople who were killed by him. The strong guilt and self-blame almost swallowed him up. Such a grown man could not bear the strong pressure and entered into a psychological state. A breakdown situation.

"Why? Why did you save me? I should die..."

Several people were a little surprised to see this situation.

Disma had seen his greed in the face of otherworldly objects.

Leonard had seen the cruelty with which he treated his own soldiers.

Barristan had seen the madness with which he fought.

But at this time, he looked like this, like a useless person who had lost all his energy. After such a comparison, everyone was quite moved.

But Lance didn't accept it, and said coldly:

"Can you make up for the mistakes you made by going crazy here? I didn't rescue you just to hear these words from you."

It must be said that Lance's words were very direct. The captain was stunned for a moment, and nodded numbly without any intention of arguing.

"I accept... you can be killed or chopped into pieces as you wish."

"No~" Lance chased after him: "I want to know about that woman and why you came."

When the captain heard "woman", he was surprised at first and then became complicated.

But instead of running away from Lance's question, he spoke up.

"We were running away in the wilderness, trying to avoid the big city and return to our hometown, until we rescued the woman from a group of robbers.

She claimed to be a descendant of a noble family and went to a small town called Hamlet to inherit the huge family territory. However, she was kidnapped by bandits on the way and wanted us to escort her back. At that time, she would pardon our status as deserters and let us stay. "

When Disma and others heard this, they all had strange expressions on their faces, and subconsciously looked at the lord.

Thanks to Silent Owl for the tip.
