Our family is in decline

"Hahaha~ Only kids like you will believe those guys. Who still believes in him?" The man swept the knife in a circle and pointed it at the people around him while laughing wildly. His face that kept twitching looked extremely weird.

The surrounding townspeople fell silent when they heard this. They wanted to believe that after all, they could only survive the plunder of the bandits by relying on the protection of the lord.

but……

The majority were silent, and some showed obvious distrust.

But at this moment a man stood up.

"I believe in him." The captain limped out with a wooden stick. "I believe that the lord will drive away those bandits."

Susan suddenly reacted when she saw the captain coming out.

It's the person who was rescued from the bandits by the adults!

By the way, others didn't know that the lord had always made arrangements for the bandits before, and the women who were rescued still received them personally.

Based on this alone, the lord will not give up on them easily, and how can he doubt the lord?

Thinking of this, Susan reacted and tried to comfort everyone.

"I can reveal here that your Excellency has always made arrangements for the bandits, and he will not give up on us."

Susan's status is quite special. She has always been the housekeeper responsible for delivering the Lord's arrangements, so in this situation her words are highly persuasive.

She said that if there is, then there is. These townspeople still want to believe in the lord. After all, they can only rely on this, and the bandits will only rob and kill.

"Shut up, you still want to lie to us!" The man became excited, and the knife directly pressed a bloody mark on Susan's neck, "Tell them to get out of the way."

But at this time, Susan had already strengthened her trust in the Lord. She was not afraid of the threat of death, and instead gave orders loudly.

"Don't worry about me, as long as you catch him, the lord will not blame you."

Those people immediately focused their attention on the man.

Now the man couldn't hold himself any longer. These people actually believed in the noble.

"You guys, don't come over here!" The man waved the knife in his hand.

And how could the ordinary townspeople have the courage to face this guy? Only the captain walked towards him alone.

He didn't know, but he wanted to do something for these people to make up for his strong guilt.

Five steps...three steps...

The captain suddenly stopped and spoke to the man.

"You are already dead……"

"What!" The man suddenly realized something and wanted to take back the knife in his hand and point it at Susan to threaten her.

But the captain moved faster than him, and the wooden stick in his hand cut through the air and made a "wuwu" sound.

"Ah!" The man screamed in the next second, and the knife fell to the ground.

When everyone reacted, they saw that the hand he had held the knife in had been smashed to pieces, and he was wailing while covering his arm.

Looking at the captain again, he had another understanding.

To be honest, no one thought that the decadent man in front of him who could not even walk steadily would have such strength.

Susan broke away from the man's control, picked up the knife on the ground, and turned around to give instructions.

"Get this guy!"

Today's men are no threat without weapons and can be easily controlled.

But after the pain passed, he struggled and screamed.

"Hundreds of experienced mercenaries failed to stop those bandits before, so you really believe in those new recruits who have only been trained for more than ten days?

If you don’t believe my words today, you will all be buried with me when the bandits blow open the door!

Bury with me! "

Everyone was very anxious because they had no way to control their own destiny and could only rely on others.

On the contrary, the captain seemed very calm.

What this man said was just to scare ordinary people. How could he not know the real situation?

This man boasted about hundreds of bandits and artillery and guns, and every word he said slapped him in the face.

The lord just used a little strategy to make himself and those barbarians fight, and both sides would lose.

Among so many bandits, they were the only two organized teams with muskets, armor, and artillery. He didn't know the rest of them, they didn't even have better weapons or armor. It's no use gathering a hundred people.

Moreover, the lord had seized so many guns, ammunition, weapons and armor, and with thirty of his men, he was sure to stop the bandits.

Not to mention that the lord has several elites who are not weaker than him, each of them is a warrior who can play a great role in special circumstances.

If they hold on to the stone bridge until nighttime and then send out small groups of troops to harass them, it only takes a few shots to demoralize the bandits and defeat them without a fight.

The captain had heard about that lord's deeds from many people. These ordinary people couldn't see it. Could it be that he, a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy, didn't understand?

Being able to stabilize the town and eradicate threats in a short period of time is very powerful with both civil and military means. Bandits are not a problem at all.

Susan was about to speak out to appease everyone, but she didn't expect that suddenly there was a heavy knock on the church door, followed by shouts.

"Open the door!"

This movement instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the guy laughed wantonly.

"Hahaha! It's coming, it's coming, none of you can run away..."

Others didn't have much contact with the Lord, let alone a few people around him, but Susan recognized that it was Disma's voice and immediately reassured everyone.

"Don't worry, they are under the command of the lord."

As she spoke, Susan approached and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Disma, open the door quickly."

After confirming that it was him, Susan quickly directed everyone to put aside the debris and open the door.

The waiting was excruciating. When the door opened, there was only Disma outside, which made everyone anxious.

"Where is the lord? How is the situation? Are you holding on? Have the bandits left?" Susan asked urgently. She was in the same mood as everyone else and wanted to know the situation on the front line as soon as possible.

"What are you guarding? None of the bandits left, they all stayed." Disma looked a little strange when he heard this, as if he didn't understand why they would ask such a question.

Everyone turned pale when they heard what he said, and they didn't dare to leave the church when they heard that the bandits hadn't left.

On the contrary, the person who was caught screamed loudly.

"Hahaha! I said before, how could those guys be the opponents of the bandits? You fools actually believe in that lord."

Disma noticed this person and frowned, but the unfinished words just blurted out.

"Under the leadership of the Lord, we wiped out all the bandits. No bandit could leave Hamlet alive."
