Our family is in decline

Lance noticed their gazes and said calmly.

"I am the lord of Hamlet. That woman is just a trick of the cult. The purpose is to lure them to cause massacre."

With that said, Lance brought the topic back to the captain.

"I'm afraid that woman also told you that she would marry you and make you a noble, right~"

The captain was silent, but the look on his face said it all.

"Is it because of this that you have abandoned your conscience as a human being? Killing innocent people just to satisfy your own desires and obey a woman's words?"

Disma and others also reacted and looked at the captain with contempt.

They had no intention of doubting the lord, but were just a little curious about the woman's identity.

Because I have seen it with my own eyes and experienced it all the way here, there is no noble lord who is more qualified to inherit this place than your Excellency.

If someone dared to show up to snatch the inheritance, Disma would kill that guy without waiting for Lance to open his mouth.

Only the Lord can lead them to salvation!

To be honest, Lance himself was a little surprised when he heard the woman's identity. When his ancestor was young, he had sex parties every day. No one knew how many heirs he had, let alone how many letters he sent out.

Therefore, Lance was not sure about the true identity of the woman. To some extent, the direct line must be in a better position to inherit than his side line, which was so biased that he didn't even know where she was.

But he held his own and did not show any timidity.

The confidence is that the housekeeper is dead and the woman is also dead.

No matter what her identity is, a dead person cannot inherit it~

What's more, Hamlet's food and army have been firmly controlled by him, and everyone in the town knows him. He has the right to speak. If you say you are fake, it is fake. Even if you are the real successor, he is just him. Something that can be dealt with in just one sentence.

This is the territory he conquered, and no one can take it away from him, not to mention those Fela's unworthy heirs. Even if the old guy comes, he will have to take advantage of his cannon.

"It's you!" the captain suddenly exclaimed. With the dim light of the candle, he finally recognized that the person standing next to him was the person who had gone up the mountain to deliver the message.

Shouldn't he have died in the barbarian attack? Why are you still alive?

It was certainly not stupid for him to graduate from the military academy as a civilian and become an artillery captain. He was confused just now, and Disma didn't recognize him because of the different equipment on his body.

Now it only took him a moment to react and guess that all this was caused by Lance's plan to cause the artillery regiment to conflict with the wolf regiment.

"It was you who killed my brothers!"

As he spoke, the captain became excited and tried to get up despite the pain.

When Leonard saw this, he wanted to control him, but before he could do anything, the captain himself fell back on the bed.

He was too weak. He had already lost a lot of blood, and the injury was not healed yet. Just moving would involve the wound, and there was no room for resistance.

"Let me ask you something. As a lord, if my territory is robbed by bandits, should I suppress the bandits? Do you know how much harm you have caused to this town?

Could it be that your people are still human beings when they die, but my subjects are no longer human beings? "

The captain was silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, he remembered what he had done after he woke up, so naturally he didn't have the confidence to talk back to Lance.

For a moment, powerlessness and guilt occupied his heart again, and his already pale face visibly wilted.

Lance silenced the captain with just one word. Looking at his appearance, he snorted and directly pointed out the root of all this.

"Ha~ It was you who killed them. It was you who were seduced by women, money, and power, and led those soldiers who just wanted to go home toward the dead end of bandits.

Even if I don't take action, how long do you think you can keep running? Bandits are bandits, and they will either be annihilated by the regular army, or they will completely degenerate into cultists and then be annihilated by the regular army.

No matter what, this is a dead end. You killed them with your own hands, and now you still want to put this responsibility on me? Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're evading responsibility? "

Clam! tell me! "

Lance suddenly raised his voice at the end, and a strong aura erupted around him. Disma and the others were frightened by this question.

Not to mention that the already disgraced captain was completely torn apart by Lance and was now ashamed of himself.

"No...I...it was me...I killed them..."

Lance curled his lips when he saw him like this. He didn't care about the dead-hearted captain, but instead replayed the situation on his own.

To put it simply, the old guy caused trouble and caused a mob to appear in the town. Since there were still two major forces in the town, the church and the guild, the old guy didn't dare to go out personally, so he used cult gloves to recruit bandits, robbers and mercenary groups.

But those guys were stragglers, and the wolf regiment was also concerned about preserving its strength. With Barristan training the militia, the cult saw that they could not attack for a long time, so they immediately asked the cult priest Captain Charming to attract the artillery regiment.

The cannon opened the way and directly captured the town of Hamlet, and then the bandits had a carnival.

But why did the bandits retreat?

"By the way, why did you just retreat instead of occupying this place?"

The captain was suddenly stunned by Lance's question, but he still took the words.

"Because the church knights took action at that time. The twelve knights in total were not from the church, but from outside the town. Neither we nor the barbarian gunmen could hurt them, and they were quite flexible in the streets of the town. Artillery can't hit them at all.

At that time, that team of knights pierced through the bandit coalition with just one charge. Those barbarians were the first to run away, and the rest also dispersed. We had no choice but to leave with them. If they hadn't meant to pursue them, there wouldn't have been many of them. Bandits can survive. "

Lance didn't know this clearly and could only turn his head to look at Leonard.

Leonard thought about it according to his description, and then explained.

"The people they met should be members of the Knights of Holy Light, not ordinary Crusaders. These knights are wearing divinely blessed armor that even bullets cannot penetrate. However, they usually have important responsibilities and rarely appear. In a town like this.”

Lance fell into thinking after hearing this, and immediately understood something.

If so it all makes sense.

The prophet preached that the ancestor's excavation would lead to the destruction of the world, and even the people rioted, which would definitely alarm the churches. It is normal for them to send people over to investigate.

It is precisely because of this that the ancestor needs to fake his death to escape, and at the same time let the cult bring artillery regiments to attack the town to cover up the truth.
