Our family is in decline

Since everyone can get the defense map, there will naturally be people inside the town to support them. In addition, the baron knew that if he lost the frontal battlefield, he would not be able to keep the town, so he sent out all his elite troops and did not leave too much force for defense.

It can be said that the gate opened by itself when he arrived here. Reynald led the cavalry and rushed in, driving straight all the way, and began to spread the news of Hamlet's victory, and also rushed here to control the baron.

Therefore, when the infantry entered the city without too much hindrance, they took over the town. In this process, most ordinary people were a little confused and did not even react.

No? You just sent people over in the morning, and you said you lost at noon?

…………

In the manor, the baron dismissed most of the servants and sat alone in the hall. Although he did not sleep all night last night, he was obviously very sleepy now, but he just couldn't sleep. The uneasiness and fear entangled him, filling his heart with anxiety.

He wanted to know the result of the battle very much, but he didn't want to know, because he was afraid of hearing something he didn't want to hear.

All this was like a rope around his neck, tightening little by little, making him breathless.

But in the real world, he had no choice. He soon heard the commotion outside, which woke him up. At this time, the confidant came in and he asked hurriedly.

"How is it? Did we win?"

The confidant looked at the baron with a strange expression and could only tell the truth.

"I don't know what happened to our army, but Hamlet's army broke in."

Hearing this, the baron was not afraid. He was not old and confused. The movement outside was obviously not cheering, not to mention that if it was good news, this person should not have such a reaction when he came in just now.

Obviously, he also knew that he could not defeat Hamlet, but was just looking forward to a miracle.

Now he was relieved, so he was relieved.

But it did not mean that he would give up and wait for death. On the contrary, he almost revealed a cruel meaning in an instant.

"While they have just come in and have not completely taken control, you go and arrange for someone to set fire and burn everything! You must not leave anything for those untouchables!"

"Ah! Me?" The man looked at the baron in panic and tried to persuade him, "Sir, if the fire burns the people in the city..."

"What are you afraid of? Come with me when the time comes. I have arranged people outside the city to meet you."

Doesn't the baron know that the autumn and winter seasons are dry, and the fire can't be stopped once it starts? Not to mention that most of the town is made of wood.

Setting fire everywhere will kill many people...

But the baron doesn't care. Just like he said, he would rather destroy all of it than give it to Hamlet.

Because in his eyes, all of this belongs to the property of his noble lord, and he has the mentality of "I will destroy what I can't get and I can't give it to you."

As for him, he doesn't want to be buried with the town, because this manor has a secret passage leading to the outside of the city when it was first built. This is the caution of the nobles.

At the same time, in addition to preparing for war, he also transferred his family property in the past few days, so his most trusted housekeeper and son were not around to take care of these things.

With the accumulation of the family, even if he escaped and lost his territory, he could still live freely.

As for this person, appease him first and deal with him when he is done.

Although he has arranged arsonists, they are all covered by a layer of white gloves, so he needs this person in front of him to trigger it.

In any case, he can't let people know that he arranged people to set the fire. After all, he still has a claim to this place, but he will come back in the future, and he can't let the family's reputation be damaged.

This is what he intends to put on Hamlet's head, spreading the news that they came in and massacred the city, burned, killed and looted, and weakened his reputation.

Then find other nobles to jointly attack Hamlet, and it is not a luxury to fight back at that time...

"Don't go yet!"

The baron seemed to have gotten rid of the failure, and put on a majestic look to urge, even a little bit of coercion.

If it were normal, the man would have been forced to do this, after all, the Baron was the absolute ruler here, and his orders were unquestionable.

But now everyone knew that Hamlet had broken in, and the Baron had lost the foundation of his power.

Instead of leaving, the man looked at the Baron with a slightly mocking smile, and even had a hint of pity in his eyes.

This attitude seemed to hurt the soul of the Baron, who had just faced failure.

Challenging his majesty was the most unacceptable thing for the ruler of the territory. He immediately yelled in anger and slapped him.

"Waste!"

"Pah!"

The Baron's move was very fast, and the man had no time to react and could only take the blow.

If he had been beaten before, he would have had to beg the Baron for forgiveness regardless of whether it was his fault or not, but this time the man was beaten and was stunned for a moment before he kicked the Baron, yelling and cursing, pouring out his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Now Hamlet's army has entered the city. Listen to what's going on outside. Do you really think you are still a baron?

You were beaten to the door for four days, and your means of resistance was to set fire. You only dared to get angry at me. Why don't you dare to go out and fight?

You are an absolute loser! A poor fool! A timid coward..."

The baron's physique was still good. He was not kicked down. He stabilized his body with just a stumble.

But the man's attacking words were like sharp knives piercing his heart. The baron, who was already tortured by pressure, did not accept the failure at all, but just hid it, and now he burst out.

The baron's consciousness is tested... violently!

"I am going to kill you!"

The baron was so angry that he turned around and pulled out the long sword that he had put aside to kill him. The man was not stupid and immediately turned around and ran away.

The baron chased after him with his sword, but at this moment the door was suddenly pushed open, and a fully armed knight walked in. The blood stains on the man's body showed that he was not someone to be trifled with.

At this moment, the baron was stunned. The style of the armor did not belong to him. Without the robe, he could not tell his specific identity.

But it is definitely not his own person.

The baron did not panic and call the guards because of the knight's intrusion. Being able to walk in already showed that the guards were gone when he and the man were arguing just now.

Only then did he suddenly realize what the man had just said, and he immediately pointed the sword at him.

"Traitor! You brought them in."

"So what if it's me, you're dead!" The man covered his face and turned to face him. He didn't show any panic. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, with a rather proud look on his face. "I also stole the defense map. The person on duty at the gate was also the one who arranged for me to open the door..."

The man blew himself up and told how incompetent the baron was. He was obviously dissatisfied with the baron for a long time, so when Hamlet's people found him, they immediately got on the line. With him lurking around the baron, it's no wonder he was able to obtain so much information. .

Leonard didn't care about the love and hatred between them at all. He had only one mission now, which was to capture the Baron, and he never stopped walking towards it.

Compared to the threat posed by a knight, although the Baron was angry and anxious, he had to focus on Leonard and keep making promises.

"I will give you a fiefdom. That Lord Hamlet will never be as generous as me."

"I'll give you money...woman..."

The Baron tried his best to save himself, but unfortunately, the promises he made could not shake Leonard's pace at all, and no reaction could be seen under the shield of the helmet. The look was really oppressive.

"Damn! What did that guy give you? I'll give you double."

"You don't understand what Hamlet is. Loyalty is the best reward." Leonard responded, but he also took action, and his speed increased instantly.

The Baron was also forced to panic. Although he was not wearing armor, he was still a swordsman and was determined to fight for his life at this time.

It's just that his struggle means nothing to Leonard.

"have you had enough!"

Leonard easily deflected the baron's sword towards him, got closer and pointed the end of the sword hilt towards his head.

Stun shot!

The baron swings his sword, the baron falls...the battle is over.

"You go and cooperate with them in arresting those arsonists and bureaucrats." Leonard slowly put away his sword and reminded him when he saw that the man was still standing.

"Yes, yes! Please don't worry, sir."

The man agreed quickly. Judging from his subconscious actions, it really didn't look like he was born as Hamlet and was just a spy developing here.

How to develop spies is not his responsibility, nor can Leonard. He is more concerned about not letting the baron light the fire, and not letting those people escape.

The Baron had indeed arranged for people to prepare to finally destroy the entire town, but those people had already been targeted.

But instead of getting rid of them in advance, they took the stolen goods and others when they did it. At the same time, when the man came out and pointed out that it was the baron who wanted to burn everyone to death, it meant that the baron's rule here disappeared.

And Hamlet's army rescued them, found a few people to spread the word, and stood firm here.

After all, the baron planned to burn himself to death, and Hamlet's troops did nothing wrong after they came in.

But these are nothing but trivial matters. The main purpose of the army coming in is to hunt down those war criminals.

With the intelligence support of lurking companions, many bureaucrats, gangsters, and gangsters lurking in the towns were all wiped out.

It's not like they didn't try to resist, but unfortunately it was pointless in the face of absolute power.

Those who once oppressed the people and could be said to be full of evil were now paraded in a string with ropes.

The fate waiting for them is probably to finish the trial and then spend the next life in a labor camp.

And Hamlet will step on their heads to complete a complete reshuffle and truly bring this area into domination.

…………

"I recommend the death penalty...the damage caused is too great...have the things been found..."

"Hey, why is he moving?"

"It seems that he is awake. Go and inform the lord."

Uh...where am I?

The outside movement woke up the baron. When he opened his eyes, he still had the sequelae of dizziness, and everything in front of him was blurry.

But there was a dull pain from the wound on his head, reminding him of what had happened before, causing him to wake up quickly, and the scene in front of him became clear.

That familiar ceiling, this is in the manor hall, is still alive...have you been saved?

"Stop pretending, get up when you wake up."

The voice from the side came, and the baron struggled to get up, only to see several strangers sitting in rows on the round table.

But the position that originally belonged to him was occupied by an ordinary-looking young man. The large amount of paper on the desktop seemed to be used as an office place.

From the attitude of the soldiers coming in and out, as long as the baron is not a fool, he can guess who is sitting there.

"Are you the lord of Hamlet?"

"What? You seem a little dissatisfied?" Lance's expression became impatient. Obviously, he didn't have much patience for this guy, and he humiliated him directly.

"Damn it! You have occupied so much land in Hamlet and it has become like this. It's polite to say that you are a waste. No wonder we beat you here in four days."

Lance has not appeared on the front line these days. He is mainly sorting out those territories in the back.

It's okay that those no-man's land has developed slowly. After all, there is no unified planning from the upper level and no support.

But the lands you annexed are still like this. You only set aside a piece of land to enfeoff those knights, and continue to use pioneering knights to erode Hamlet.

But how many of those so-called knights have the brains to grow crops? Just build a small village and a small farm to support them.

This makes Lance very unhappy. I gave you so much time and you made it like this? Large tracts of barren land, with only scattered knights left.

In fact, Lance had wronged the baron. Could he not know that those places were fertile?

But the uncertainty of those lands was too great, and he did not dare to develop them casually. After all, the fight with other nobles was not over.

But it didn't matter. Although the baron wanted to refute Lance's words, he knew his current situation and could only bear it silently.

Forbearance!

Seeing the baron's performance, Lance had to look up to him, but he didn't mean to let him go.

"You ordered the knights to burn everything before retreating?"

The baron knew that something was wrong, and this matter fell on his head, but he would definitely not admit it.

"These are all their own actions. I just asked them to give up those places and retreat. I wanted to return them to Hamlet, sir, how could you do such a thing?"

Instead of exposing him, Lance smiled and nodded.

"That's good. I plan to sentence all the knights who set fire to the territory to death. Do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection!"

The baron answered almost without hesitation. At this time, he had to survive first and not anger that guy.

"Bring them in."

Lance waved his hand and quickly dragged out a few people from outside. They looked injured, with bandage marks on their bodies and pale and ugly faces.

Yes, these were the knights who had stripped off their armor. At this time, they didn't care about anything else at all, and their eyes were fixed on the baron...
