our family is gone

Chapter 192 Hamlet Doesn't Need Trash

But how can they be punished if they are not killed?
He doesn't have the habit of not fighting back when he is bullied~
Can't kill, can't let go, looking at those humble refugees lying on the ground trembling, Lance made a decision.

"Move! If you can't get to Hamlet's execution before tonight, all those who survive will be reduced to slaves. You will have to atone for your decision today in your life."

Lance swung the knife, and the blood adhering to the knife flew out in a line, obviously not giving them the right to refuse.

These words naturally caused those people to panic. They didn't know where Hamlet was and how far away it was, let alone the matter of being reduced to a slave.

Facts aside, even if they were 99% wrong first, wouldn't those people be 1% wrong?
Knowing that everyone has nothing to eat and eating in front of their eyes, isn't this just seducing yourself?
Moved, some people on the edge wanted to rush into the wilderness on both sides of the road.

But something is faster than them.

"boom!"

There was a gunshot, and the smoke dissipated in an instant, and the man fell to the ground before taking two steps, his heart was blurred with blood.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Lance sat upright on his horse, holding a short gun.

Most of the refugees noticed this scene. Under the threat of death, fear became the dominant body, and they moved numbly under the urging.

It's hard to keep an eye on so many people if you really want to walk, but Lance has his own way.

"Whoever catches the escapee can be exempted from part of the crime, and the escapee will be executed."

This sentence is more effective than sending 100 people to guard them. They have already been divided by this sentence, and they are all wary of the people around them, so it is difficult to form strength.

Those who want to run away are afraid of being caught, and at the same time they want others to run away, as long as they catch themselves, they can atone for their sins.

Now whoever dares to take the lead, it can only be - fellow, let me borrow your head!
Lance didn't bother to care, and turned back to the convoy.

The group of people he cared about the most had no problem being protected in the middle, but they were quite frightened.

The team was short of cars, and the only carriage was arranged as a family car, with Leonard and Walter's family members on it.

Leonard's son has a strong personality, and he is a bit courageous and even a little stunned, but he is also unavoidably afraid in the face of this situation. Although he resists stubbornly, Lance can see through his disguise at a glance.

It's just that he didn't say anything, and turned to look at Walter's son.

A young man with glasses, his face pale with fright.

In fact, the age is estimated to be eleven or twelve years old, but the personality seems very soft, no wonder he failed to stand up when Walter disappeared before.

"Don't worry, the two ladies, the territory is not far ahead, and we will definitely be there before tonight."

Lance moved forward to appease the family members. The expressions of the two mothers were unconcealable horror. They obviously hadn't reacted from the crisis just now. Facing the sudden greeting, they could only show stiff smiles.

After confirming that there was no problem here, Lance inspected other places and noticed William, who looked a little lost while holding the dog.

"Are you okay?"

"There is no order here..." William was shocked by the crazy scene just now. Crazy is the only thing in this land, and he can't see where the hope lies.

"Don't be confused by the momentary scene, be firm in your heart." Lance chuckled and looked up, "Don't you see that they have returned to order now~"

William saw that the refugees were indeed moving forward obediently, although their faces were completely covered in numbness.

"It's because of the chaos that we need to bring order, right?" Lance patted him on the shoulder and added.

Without saying anything more, he turned his head and went deep into the convoy, commanding and handling various matters.

William looked at the revitalized team in his hands, which was different from the lifeless one before.

It was he who brought order...

Lance was patrolling the convoy. Most of these people knew him, not to mention the brave performance just now, and they were in awe of the lord.

At the same time, the panic and uneasiness were dispelled by the powerful power of the lord, replaced by a majestic figure.

After a lap, Lance probably knew the situation.

The good news is that it was time to take a rest. Although they did not set up camp, they still set up a car formation. If there was no support, they would have been breached long ago.

At the same time, the refugees were patronizing to rob the convoy, and they had no weapons, so the casualties were not serious, but there were still some.

But the bad news is that many things in the convoy were robbed, all kinds of things were scattered all over the place, and some carriages were even damaged and overturned.

What annoyed him the most was that two of the horses died.

Fucking troublemaker!Dare to kill my horse!
"Take it away, those who can move will move first."

I have no choice but to eat horse meat tonight.

The convoy started to move. If the horse died, it would be pulled by manpower. If the car broke down, it would be picked up by hand. With so many people, one person could take a little away.

Lance hung at the end and cleaned up the corpse, but it was still difficult to stop the seeping blood.

I don't know what kind of monsters will be nourished by this blood...

But there was not much time for him to feel emotional, so he got up on his horse again, catching up with the large army, and Leonard whose armor was almost poured with blood.

"What happened on the road?"

Lance asked why it was so slow without opening his mouth. There are some things that need to be understood first. He believes that Leonard must not be procrastinating on purpose.

"Alas~" Leonard took off the blood-stained helmet and let out a long breath.

The previous cleanup along the way did play a role. They didn't encounter any robbers or bandits, and even if they encountered some refugees with malicious intentions, they didn't dare to have any plans for the convoy.

And along the way, they kept encountering refugees who fled, and they couldn't help but gather together when they saw such a huge convoy. It was instinct to gather together to survive in this wilderness.

Leonard knew their danger, he didn't ask for income, he just maintained the team, but he couldn't control them following behind.

The reason is simple. It is very difficult to manage a huge team of thousands of people with this number of people, not to mention that these are undisciplined refugees.

These refugees were not really interested in the knight Leonard, especially when they found out that he was not that cruel, so they procrastinated and procrastinated.

As a result, more and more refugees were hanging behind. After the number increased, they became more courageous. Finally, when the convoy was cooking a big pot of rice, those refugees hanging behind were attracted by the smell of food.

The refugees attacked the convoy under the instigation of several malicious guys. They wanted to eat, so they did not hesitate to use other people's flesh and blood to fill their endless hunger and thirst.

To put it simply, the goal is too big and the time is too long, which has attracted too many refugees.

Lance has nothing to say about this, he can only say that he overestimated the efficiency of these people's actions, or this is the time limit.

Let Leonard, the leader of the army, be forced to be the captain of the logistics transportation team, which is indeed a bit embarrassing for him.

"It's not your fault, don't put too much pressure on it."

The situation was not so serious that it got out of control. Although some people were killed or injured, the main body of the convoy was still there, and the risk was still within the acceptable range.

The main reason why Leonard can't manage the team well is that he still retains a large part of his integrity, or his family is among them. Who wants to be too harsh in front of their relatives?
This is not a multiple-choice question, so it was manipulated by these slippery refugees.

They didn't know where Hamlet was, and they didn't know what they were about to encounter. Anyway, they had something to eat, and they didn't feel so tired if they walked slowly.

Leonard is not stupid, and he also realizes the mistakes he made.

Sometimes kindness is a sin.

But Lance didn't have such scruples, he drove away desperately, threatening to kick anyone who walked slowly.

Play tricks with him?

See if your life is tough, if you can survive in this wilderness.

Hamlet needs no waste!
…………

"Master Walter, the lord is back, and I want you to get ready to go to town."

"Okay, I see." Walter didn't show any expression, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

It's been almost a month, and I didn't even think about letting him come back. I don't know if he went to Totnes?

I didn't care so much, I quickly packed up my things, took the ledger and went to town.

As soon as he entered the town, he slowed down the carriage, observed the reactions of pedestrians on the road, and listened to their discussions.

He needs to judge whether the result of the lord's trip is good or bad, and he is prepared to wait for the report, so as not to touch any sore spots.

"The lord is really powerful, and he can bring so many people back."

"What is this? I heard that the goods are directly piled up on the dock."

"Your ones are useless, but I saw with my own eyes a group of pirates being crushed into a nursing home."

"Who doesn't know, I also know that one of the three ships is a pirate ship stolen by adults."

"What robbery! If you can't speak, don't say it. That's called seizure."

"Yes, yes, it was seized from pirates."

"..."

Listening to their excited words and the smiles on their faces, Walter knew that the lord had returned with a big victory.

And I didn't find it strange at all.

Returning from the sea, it means that you have indeed been to Totnes.

But where is Totnes?Cannibalism does not spit out bones, he can go empty-handed, come back with two full cargo ships, and captured a pirate ship, the ability of this lord is really terrifying.

Although it was a big victory, it made him even more uneasy, and his confidence was lacking.

It wasn't that there was something wrong with the farm, nor was it that he was greedy. On the contrary, his ability to manage a farm was not difficult, and everything was well managed.

It's just that he was thinking about how to ask the lord to resign, how to let him let him go, and how to go back to Owendo at the same time.

The only ones in the town capable of escorting him to Owendor were soldiers under the lord's command, but he had come into contact with that veteran, and it was like a rock that could not be shaken at all.

It's been almost two months, and I don't know what's going on at home, what's going on with the business group?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and Walter wanted to fly back to see his family immediately.

No, no matter what, I have to go...

The door of the room was open, and he didn't want to say anything more, he took his things and walked in.

It's just that what he saw when he went in was someone he never expected.

There was a person sitting in the hall who was fiddling with some documents, and Walter froze in place the moment he saw it.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him.

who is this?Why does she look similar to her own daughter?

But my daughter has long hair, so she doesn't wear this men's clothing either.

Not to mention that at this moment she should be in Ovindor instead of here...

Even though Walter strongly denied it, some weird thoughts could not be restrained in his heart.

No way... no way...

Not knowing what to think of, Walter's body couldn't help trembling.

"Father!"

Tiffany opened her mouth to break the embarrassing atmosphere, and at the same time completely broke Walter's fantasy, so he had to admit it.

"Daughter!" Walter stepped forward to help his daughter's shoulders and shook subconsciously, "How did you become like this? How did you come here? How is the situation at home..."

During this time Walter was stuck here cut off from the outside world, he had too many problems.

But Tiffany also blurted out countless questions.

"What happened in the first place? Why did you stay here? Why didn't you go home! Woooooo..."

At this moment, Tiffany finally let go of her pretended strength, and the pressure accumulated for a long time poured out with tears, directly turning into tears.

Walter also had to painstakingly comfort his crying daughter, and at the same time explain the cause and effect of his being trapped, as well as his current situation.

"How did you come here? How did you become like this? Is that guy Lance?" Walter was also angry, because he heard the name from his daughter just now.

If his daughter really wants to do something, he has to fight hard, not to fight for steamed buns!
It took a while for Tiffany to recover, and then she opened her mouth to briefly summarize the situation, but now it was Walter's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Ha! What? How did it happen?"

Walter almost couldn't bear his anger when he heard that his family business was almost ruined. When he heard that those people were in trouble, anger usurped his mind.

"I've been so kind to them, how dare you betray me? I'll kill them when I get back!" Walter gritted his teeth and put on a show of power. His means really had the confidence to say such words.

Facing her furious father, Tiffany seemed a little timid. She had no choice but to subconsciously move out of Lance to rely on who made her almost ruin the family business.

"They've been caught by Mr. Lance."

"What's the matter with him?"

"Didn't father ask him to come and help us?" Tiffany couldn't help asking when she saw her father like this.

"Why would I let him find you? Those people are wolves, and he is a hungry tiger." Walter's heart was chilled by this, and he murmured: "It's over... this is to eat up our family. Not left~"

Walter's heart is cold, but fortunately he still has a little family business in Totnes, and he has the capital to turn around.

It's just that when he heard that all the original channels of the business group were cut off, Walter knew that his last hole card was also ruined, and he couldn't help but have a trace of unspeakable emotion in his eyes when he looked at his daughter.

That's the channel where I worked hard for half my life to finally squeeze into Totnes!

"Oh~ maybe this is fate..."

anger?Aggrieved?Powerless... All kinds of emotions turned into a sigh in the end, and the whole person seemed to grow old in an instant.

"Father~" Seeing her father like this, Tiffany realized that she seemed to have done something wrong, and she seemed very panicked.

Instead, Walter comforted his daughter.

"He's not an ordinary person. It's normal that you can't play with him. No matter what you say, he saved our family. If the money is gone, you can earn it again, as long as he is fine."

Walter is very open-minded. If something happens to the business group, his family will be in danger. Those distributors in Totnes will definitely peel themselves off, so there is no problem with this.

It's just that this also caused another sentence from Tiffany.

"Haven't mother and brother come back yet?"

"What! Aren't they in Owendo City?" Walter was stunned, and quickly asked for details.

When he heard that his wife and children came back with the convoy, it was a team of thousands of refugees, how dare he?
problem occurs!
Walter realized that the situation was wrong. He often walked this road, so why not take ten days?

"No, where is Lance?" Walter's top priority now is to determine the situation of his family.

"I don't know, he went out." Tiffany was a little flustered. She thought her mother and younger brother had returned long ago. She had seen the chaos of refugees and heard some things along the way.

"I'll go to Barristan and ask him to send troops to save people." Although Walter was a little flustered at this time, he was not overwhelmed by emotions. He was very clear that the only way to save people was to send troops.

It was only when he found Barristan that he found out that Lance set out to meet him as soon as he came back. Although he was a little surprised, he still couldn't help feeling worried.

"What can he do alone? Let the soldiers go!"

"My lord has no such order. My duty is to guard Hamlet."

"If anything happens to my family, I will never forgive you!" Walter is Hamlet's former financial backer and the boss of a business group. The problem can still be tough.

It's just that it doesn't work~
What about Barristan?How could he be bluffed by him, not to mention that he knew the lord's methods, so he didn't react much when he heard this, but just reminded him.

"You shouldn't question your lord's decision."

Walter clenched his fists, anger made his body tense, and his muscles seemed to be shaking.

Can't bear it!I'll blow the lord with my fist, I'll blow Hamlet with my fist, I'll blow me with my fist...

"Report! The convoy was found outside the town, and the lord is back!"

At this moment, a soldier ran over to report, which directly broke the chaotic atmosphere.

The training camp was originally outside the town near the old road, but when I went out, I saw dense crowds of people on the other side of the river.

Walter noticed that all of them were refugees, so he didn't care about so much for a while, so he hurried over.

I made up my mind to find that guy to settle the score...

Lance followed behind with a knife like a whip, and his efficiency improved immediately.

Sometimes people don't know how much potential they have if they don't force it. The speed of the team's progress exceeds his expectations, and the team has already arrived here before the evening.

Those slaves were moved to tears when they saw the town, but unfortunately their tears had long since dried up.

As for the people in the team, they all had infinite longing for this place they had never seen before. They didn't think Hamlet was dilapidated. On the contrary, it would be good to have a place to live in.

"Everyone is waiting at the bridge, according to the procedure, get clothes, take a bath, undergo a detailed medical examination, and register..."

Of course, some special people are not restricted by this rule and entered Hamlet in advance.

"Go ahead, take your family to pick a room near the square and settle down first, take a good bath, have a meal with your family, and take a rest."

Lance signaled Leonard to bring his wife and children into the town, but at this time a person suddenly broke into the topic.

"Lance! You bastard..." Walter walked up angrily, and even called his name directly when he opened his mouth.

Lance turned around and looked back, but Walter was stunned at this moment, and the clamoring words in his mouth got stuck in his throat before he finished speaking.

He was also a person who dared to lead the guards to fight the bandits, but he was shocked at this moment, and his eyes were full of danger, not to mention the blood stains on his body had not been cleaned.

Tiffany, who was following him, didn't understand what happened and hurried forward.

"Father?"

This greeting woke Walter up, his eyes shifted unconsciously, but he also felt the heat rising from his back, as if he had escaped from death.

"What's the matter?" With a slight smile on Lance's face, he looked at the two father and daughter with somewhat intriguing meaning in his eyes~
"Where is my family?"

The man is flexible, and Walter has calmed down. The most important thing now is the safety of his family.

"Don't worry, it's just that there are too many people and people walk slowly, and there is nothing wrong with the road." Lance raised his finger to check the location, and said a word of reassurance.

It's just that his words are not convincing when coupled with the blood stains on him and Leonard.

Walter didn't know what happened on the road, but he saw his wife and children to make sure it was all right.

Tiffany glanced at Lance, with an indescribable feeling, but she didn't speak, and just turned to go to the family reunion.

It doesn't matter to Lance, it's hard to leave after entering Hamlet~
Regardless of Walter's side, he directly ordered some people to be transferred from the pier. They are familiar with the process and have managed a camp of 2000 people. It is just a trivial matter to deal with this place.

Let the soldiers switch defenses, and Lance will directly give them bonuses and a three-day holiday. The ten people who have suffered all the hardships along the way can finally rest well.

Now the staff is ready, and those who should come back will come back. It only takes a few days to digest the four thousand refugees and integrate them into Hamlet.

Time to raise an army...

Lance had already started to imagine, but reality gave him another slap in the face.

The premise is that so many people can be settled well, and they must be arranged to work as soon as possible. At the same time, some previous policies should also be adjusted.

Originally managing a small town with less than 1000 people gave him a headache, but now it has nearly 5000 people, even he can't help but feel the pressure.

Lance found that he didn't have any administrative talents on hand. If Zhuge Liang gave him, tomorrow he would be able to get rid of these troubles and go directly to the ancestors.

Unfortunately not~
