Our family is in decline

Lance was playing with the incense burner seized from the woman.

His eyes were placed on some pills placed in different boxes on the table.

These are the things found after the woman was sacrificed. They should be pills used with the incense burner. As long as they are lit and put into the incense burner, the rising smoke will release the medicinal effect.

It was after realizing the situation that day that he did a little research and found that the pills in different boxes had various effects after being lit.

It took him a few days to figure out the effects, including sluggishness, excitement, aphrodisiac... These all rely on the power of the medicine to act on the body and are not mental attacks, so there was no reaction from [Asylum] that day.

But as for the formula, he didn't know anything about it, because he didn't know anything about herbal medicine, and he didn't even have a way to get started.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Disma, who had gone out for reconnaissance, came back and reported to Lance the movements of the bandits.

"Sir, those guys are out and they will be here in two hours."

"A bunch of losers, I waited for four days for them to gather together." Lance complained with a look of disgust.

Originally, he thought that he should be able to complete the assembly in two days, and then come over on the third day.

Who knew that he had to be delayed for another day? Do those bandits know how precious a day is to him?

"They actually gathered together a long time ago, but there was an internal fight during the period. I don't know the details of the situation, but a few people died, and the remaining ones joined forces. Someone must have taken the opportunity to annex them."

"If you rush to share the cake before you even get it, these people are destined not to achieve great things~"

Lance shook his head, but did not relax, and then called Leonard and the others to start arranging tactics.

"They didn't know what was going on in the town. They found a few recruits to put on mercenary equipment and pretend to flee. They led them into the square. The three teams hid here respectively. After they entered, they formed a formation to seal the three exits and blocked them. Forced this way.”

Lance pointed his finger heavily at a street on the map, "This is the execution ground I selected for them. I will wipe out all of them, leaving no one behind."

"yes!"

Everyone understands Lance's determination. These bandits are not like those gangsters. They can't stand those losers who want to rely on farm guards, and they may disrupt the order of the farm.

What's more, everyone in the town has a blood feud with the bandits, and their blood must be used to cleanse them.

This is also the time for him, as a lord, to establish his authority for his troops.

Lance had already planned them thoroughly, leaving nothing to waste.

only……

"Sir, do you really want to use these thirty recruits to fight? Many of them have never even seen blood. The situation of beating a few fishermen a few days ago is of no reference value."

Barristan expressed his concerns. It was difficult to say that the quality of these recruits was not bad, but definitely not good.

Even the last time we dealt with several fishermen, there were problems one after another. If we faced the vicious bandits, they would probably be defeated before the fight even started.

"Of course I won't just let those new recruits fight against hundreds of bandits. Just wait and see the show unfold~" A smile appeared on Lance's face, revealing a sense of confidence.

Several people also know the Lord's style, and they know that he will not do anything that is not sure.

"Sir, do you want to notify those people to evacuate?"

"No~ That will alarm everyone and cause chaos." Lance looked at the map on the table and shook his head slowly, "Leonard, please go and inform us that we will all gather at the church in an hour and say that I have something to announce."

The church was transformed into an auditorium, but now there are no entertainment activities and it is vacant. However, the space is large and can accommodate so many people. At the same time, the solid masonry structure can provide good protection to ordinary people. Using this excuse to gather them is moving. the smallest.

Lance arranged things in an orderly manner, then patted Disma on the shoulder, and activated [Blessing] to eliminate the fatigue on his body.

"Have a good rest. I'll watch your performance later."

"Leave it to me, sir!" Disma looked very excited, picked up the things and left in a hurry.

Only then did Lance turn to call Barristan. "Come on, let's go see the new recruits' training."

…………

"kill!"

The two teams are undergoing intense training on the training ground.

Ever since Lance discovered their situation that night, he had started targeted training. The content was no longer the previous kind of poking at the target, but more confrontational training.

Divided into two teams, one side held up a spear without a spearhead, the other put on a mask, and then charged forward with a sword and shield.

As long as you can break through the gun formation within a limited time, you will add an egg to your dinner. If you cannot break through, you will have to defend the other side and add it to the other side, and you will have to deduct the egg.

In addition to normal physical fitness and strength training, five confrontation trainings are added a day, and offense and defense are rotated with each other.

This kind of formation is more in line with actual combat needs. After two days of training, it now seems that their formation is stronger and it is difficult for short-term soldiers to penetrate it.

Because the attacker has no armor and no range, and the same goes for the bandits.

Lance took a look around and was quite satisfied.

As long as this crisis is overcome and the bandits are completely wiped out, he will start to convert these recruits into musketeers.

At that time, you only need to maintain basic physical training, and then learn to shoot and reload.

The use of spears will also be extended to the bayonets of long-barreled flintlock guns.

The problem now is gunpowder, which will greatly increase the consumption of firearms. These things are not produced in small towns, and the flintlock in his hand cannot yet be equipped with a bayonet, which is why he delayed.

At the same time the bandits are marching towards Hamlet.

A team of hundreds of people appeared on the old road like this, without any intention of avoiding it, as if they were the masters here, not bandits hiding in the mountains and forests.

The equipment of these people is chaotic. Whether it is clothing or equipment, they are all different. Even if they belong to the same team, there is basically no one who is slightly similar.

Coupled with the chaotic management of the team, it is common to fall behind during the march, not to mention that everyone is talking, and the noisy voices can be heard from a distance.

"I've been so damn hungry for days, I must eat meat this time."

"Don't mention it. The last time the girl was captured, she was killed within two days. This time I will capture two more."

"Hahaha! As long as I make another fortune, I will go home and buy two acres of land and marry a wife."

"..."

The bandits have high morale and are eager for money, women, and food. They all show a strong desire to attack and are very proactive in moving forward.

After all, they had a great time attacking Hamlet last time.

Burning, killing, looting, and slashing at anyone who dared to resist, not to mention how exciting it was.

Just thinking about the scenes of the townspeople begging for mercy in front of them made them impatient, with ferocious smiles on their faces~
