our family is gone

Chapter 2 Attack on the Old Road
Looking up at the two of them again, his memory as Lance could clearly remember that they were the carriage guards hired by his teacher, and their task was to escort him to the territory.

And it happened to fit the two subordinates of the lord at the beginning of the game. The outrageous coincidence made Lance feel as if there were two big hands pushing all this behind his back.

The crusader Leonard in knight armor and the bandit Disma in the overcoat.

In the background of the game, the experiences of the two are somewhat vague. The only thing that can be confirmed is that they are both ruthless people who have killed countless people, but for some reason, they have both embarked on the road of self-salvation, from killing people to protecting people.

It's just that the reality is not like a game where you can be loyal forever with just a click of the mouse. Whether you can keep the two of you will be the key to opening the situation. You must know that the territory is not peaceful at all, and now they are the only cards in your hand. .

Just as Lance was thinking, a cracking sound came from nowhere and interrupted his thoughts.

"It's gunshots!" Disma, who had closed his eyes and dozed off, suddenly opened them with sharp eyes.

On the other side, Leonard also held the long sword. Although he was still sitting, he gave people a feeling that he was about to charge.

"Bandits!" The steward in front yelled and whipped his whip fiercely, trying to urge the horses to speed up so as to distance themselves from the bandits.

The stimulated horse galloped wildly, and the speed of the car was quickly accelerated amidst its fierce neighing. The bumps had reached an unbearable stage for ordinary people, and Lance felt as if his brains were about to be shaken.

It's just that too much speed on this worn-out road is not a good thing.

Before he could react, it was as if he had bumped into something, which actually made the whole car feel like it was suspended in the air. The strong turbulence stopped instantly at this moment, but in the next second, it slammed down hard and made a loud noise. Then lean and roll to one side.

The two people sitting across from each other instantly grabbed the seat to stabilize their figure without being greatly affected.

But Lance slammed into the carriage uncontrollably as if he was not wearing a seat belt. He didn't wake up from the dizziness until the two dragged him out of the carriage.

"Are you OK?"

Leonard's voice came from the helmet. It was a man's deep voice, and it was even more dull under the effect of the helmet.

"fine."

Regardless of other things, Lance quickly got up and looked at the situation in front of him.

What he was worried about still happened. If the speed of the car was too fast, only a small stone or a pothole could fly into the sky. The items of the original owner are just some clothes and books.

As for the steward and the horse pulling the cart, they have long since disappeared. It should be the steward who rode the horse and ran away.

The old road was overturned, and Lance felt that the memory of the dead was attacking him.

"The bandits will come over soon, we have to get out of here quickly." Disma had already drawn out his flintlock gun and started reloading, looking at the surrounding environment vigilantly, beware of possible bandits.

"It seems that there is still a long way to reach the town." Leonard looked into the distance, and the ancient road was obscured by gloomy trees.

"If you want to live, you can't escape."

Lance interrupted the two who were discussing escape, but his words were somewhat unreasonable.

"What do you mean?" Disma looked at him strangely, his distrust was undisguised.

Although Leonard didn't say anything, the eyes hidden under the helmet also showed a kind of doubt.

The attitudes of the two have obviously changed, but if there is no reasonable explanation, no one will go crazy with him.

It's just that Lance didn't pay much attention to it. If it wasn't an accident, he already knew what would happen next.

"Now we don't have a carriage and are not familiar with the environment. Are you sure you can avoid the bandits when you escape on foot? Once we are caught up, our physical and mental energy will definitely be exhausted, and the battle will only be more difficult.

So fighting is inevitable, and if we want to survive, we must hold the initiative in our own hands. "

"You mean you want to take the initiative to attack the bandits? There are only three of us."

Disma's words are actually quite polite. In fact, everyone understands that there are only two real combat forces, and they have to protect Lance, a weak employer.

"No~" Lance shook his head slowly, "It's impossible for a real large army to loot with only one gunshot. I guess a small group of four or five people is at most like this kind of looting along the road. As long as our tactics are reasonable, this is not a problem." Difficult."

Speaking of which, Lance turned to look at Disma.

"How's your marksmanship?"

"I never miss." Disma blurted out without hesitation, obviously very confident in his marksmanship.

"I believe you." Lance nodded with a smile, and then began to raise his fingers to make arrangements for the surrounding environment.

"The tactics are simple, the woods on both sides are our natural camouflage, we lie in wait for the bandits to appear, and these goods attract them to stop.

At that time, I need you to shoot and kill the musketeers of the bandits first, and then continue to reload and kill the ones you think are the most threatening, so as to maximize the advantages brought by our sneak attack and not easily expose the position. "

He said and looked at Leonard to assign tasks.

"As soon as the gunshot rang out, I would make noise on the other side to attract the enemy's attention, not only to buy him time to reload the second bullet, but also to lure the bandits into the trap.

You are too obviously inconvenient to move around in armor, so I need you to ambush in the grass, and when they are attracted by me, kill them and cause as many casualties as possible. "

Disma originally thought that Lance's tactic was to let himself lure the enemy away, while the knight stayed behind to protect him, just like those employers he had encountered before.

But he never thought that this person would take the initiative to take on the responsibility of being a bait. This is tantamount to putting himself in an extremely dangerous situation and entrusting his safety to the two of them.

That long-lost trust made him feel strange, it was a feeling of blood pumping, and he had already forgotten when it appeared last time.

Lance didn't pay much attention to Disma's strangeness, but waited for Leonard's answer.

"No problem, the Holy Light guides me." Leonard raised his long sword, his actions have already shown his attitude, and he is willing to carry out this dangerous task.

Hearing this, Lance breathed a sigh of relief. If the bandits had no gunners, they had to cross Leonard if they wanted to attack him. Therefore, the only one who really needs to face the bandits in this tactic is Leonard, and he seems to be dangerous, but in fact, there is not much risk .

Less than 2 minutes after the car overturned, Lance took control of the situation, and then the three of them lay in ambush in the dense forest on both sides of the road, waiting for the bandits to arrive.
