our family is gone

Chapter 207 Take the initiative
"These people don't look like refugees at all. I just..." Disma explained the situation just now in detail.
Leonard was not too surprised by the identities of those people, he felt something was wrong at the time.

First, the old road is the only way to get in and out of Hamlet. I have just walked back and forth on this road. If there are refugees walking among them, the cavalry cannot fail to see them, unless they fly over or come out of the wilderness.

Second, their camouflage is too fake, the clothes are so broken that it can be seen that they are deliberately torn, and the traces of forgery are too obvious, and if they are real refugees, they will definitely not have such a strong body and full spirit.

Third, and most obviously, the refugees would never have so much money on them, nor would they dare to clash with the soldiers, and no one begged for mercy when they threatened them.

Without knowing the origin, they can only stabilize them temporarily, and then let Disma try it out.

And Barristan and Barton also pondered over this matter, aware of the crisis.

"This is all tolerable, and it further shows that they have some kind of purpose for Hamlet."

"I don't know what it is, what is their purpose?"

"It can't be people from the church. They don't need to pretend to be latent." Leonard thought for a while and denied an identity.

"Whatever, dispatch troops to surround them, with two hundred muskets pointed at their heads, I won't believe that they won't explain." Disma doesn't care so much, with a gun in his hand, the enemy can't fly away from him palm.

"But what if I act rashly and provoke some enemies for my lord?" Barton had to be more cautious. That failure made him fall to the bottom and smoothed the edges and corners of his body. Now he has completely lost the arrogance he used to be a genius. On the contrary, he became low-key and introverted, and his thinking logic was more cautious.

Everyone also understood this truth. After returning from this trip, the lord sorted out the basic knowledge related to the world's extraordinary and gave them to them. The more you know, the more you will be in awe of the world. Only the more ignorant people will be more arrogant.

"Have you forgotten why the lord went deep into the wilderness?"

Ginger was still old and hot, and Barristan let them understand the identities of these people with one word.

Yes!Didn't the lord enter the wilderness to investigate because of the discovery of corruption?

"Those people want to come in and spread the plague~"

Although Disma's words were not in a positive tone, they also expressed what everyone thought.

"It is very likely that it is a conspiracy of the cult. Otherwise, they would come here as soon as the lord leaves. How could there be so many coincidences?"

"No matter what, it is our duty to protect Hamlet. If they dare to violate, no matter who they are, they will have to pay the price." Speaking of the cult, Barton couldn't help but feel a little touched, and there was vague anger in his expression. He was cautious, not afraid.

"That's right, no matter what their identities are, we have to deal with them for Hamlet's safety, but we can't let too many people know about it.

In the name of an exercise, the people in the town were notified to block the entrances and exits, and the remaining soldiers of the training camp were dispatched to surround the camp and wipe out those guys. No one would be allowed to escape. "

Leonard set the basic style. When Lance left, he was responsible for coordinating the army. Fighting opportunities were fleeting and must be seized decisively.

"If it's really a cult, I'm afraid their strength is not bad. Without the lord, we have to deal with it..." Barton was still a little worried. He had never faced a cultist himself, but that was also from the mouths of several elder brothers. I have learned a little bit about that mind-robbing sorcery and that deformed and distorted monster, which are not something ordinary people can deal with.

"It's impossible for us to rely solely on the lord, then we would have no meaning of existence." Leonard had a steady smile on his face, raised his hand and patted Barton's shoulder, "Turn the artillery over and let those cultists feel Take your anger out."

When Lance wrote the army lesson plan, he naturally had to invite several people to discuss tactics. Under the influence of the lord, they knew the potential of guns in future wars, and naturally they would not reject or even waste this kind of killer.

"Okay!" Barton's entanglement was untied, and when the cannon was in hand, he was confident that he could hit it even if the monster changed.

"I can't wait any longer, so as not to cause trouble, tell them that the big one is coming!"

Several people took their positions and urgently summoned the soldiers.

When the bell rang, everyone in the training camp, no matter what they were doing, put down what they were doing and rushed to the playground to gather, and then each team counted the number of people, and the soldiers in neat military uniforms were all lined up neatly from the stage.

This is different from the current popular clothing. The military uniform designed by the lord is mainly neat, convenient, comfortable, and handsome!
After a period of training, they finally looked like soldiers, at least their complexion improved a lot, and the formation was orderly.

After eating hardships, their endurance becomes very exaggerated, and sometimes they stay desperately just to be able to eat, because they have been hungry.

Most of the people survived the harsh training and gradually adapted, which shows the tenacity of human beings.

In the past, exercises and the like did not require any speeches to boost morale. They have always been full of enthusiasm, and they dare not slack off in training and exercises, because those who are lazy have already been kicked out.

Now those guys regret and have no chance, even such bad behavior will affect the family.

But this is the first time they have carried out a real mission, and the target is still a dangerous cultist. After learning the lesson of Barton's failure, some things must be made clear.

And Leonard didn't hide it from them, and directly explained to them the enemy he needed to face later.

"This time it's not a drill, but a real mission. A group of cultists disguised as refugees want to sneak into Hamlet and destroy the town. Now they are at the camp outside the town."

The soldiers couldn't help but look a little nervous when they heard this.

Although they train intensively every day and engage in various assault drills, the propaganda is full of the fact that they will face a powerful enemy.

But until now, the enemies they have encountered are bandits and refugees, some of whom have never even encountered them, and now they hear that there are cultists.

Under the church's spare no effort to propagandize them, they also know the dangers of cults, and they are somewhat afraid in their hearts.

Leonard noticed their reaction, and immediately changed his tone and continued.

"They are eyeing our quiet and peaceful town, they want to kill our family to sacrifice to evil gods, they want to take away our hard-won stable life, and let us go back to the panic and helplessness.

And as a member of Hamlet, can you watch them destroy our towns, kill our families and friends, and take everything we hold dear? "

"cannot!"

The soldiers in the audience were filled with righteous indignation, and they would not allow anyone to take it away.

As the lord said, when he puts on this military uniform and enjoys the best treatment, he naturally has to shoulder the responsibility.

"Defend your home, defend Hamlet!"

"For Hamlet!"

"Dedicate your loyalty to the lord!"

"..."

"Level [-] response, all get the equipment, let's go!" Leonard pulled out the [Champion's Certificate] and waved forward to point out of the town.

The soldiers started to act. The arrangement of the army did not come randomly, so all actions were planned. Under the leadership of the squad leader, they went to collect the equipment, then inspected it, and put it on...

After the 200 people were eliminated in the previous period, there are only about [-] people left. Among them, there can be more than [-] pikemen at most, [-] selected musketeers, [-] cavalry, and [-] artillerymen.

But this is only data on paper. In fact, there are too few horses in the town, and there are only a dozen or so cavalry, and the rest can only serve as guest troops.

And the artillery has the same problem, just three cannons, just make do with it.

Several instructors quickly completed the integration, then assigned tasks and started to set off.

It is said to be a camp, but in fact it is a grass cover propped up by a few wooden stakes, with rags stretched on all sides, which can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain, with no defense at all.

Moreover, because of the reclamation and expansion of the land, the nearby trees and weeds have been cleared away, and there is no shelter around it, so it stands alone in it.

It seems that when Leonard asked them to come here, he thought of attacking here.

Similarly, when a large group of soldiers surrounded them, those people immediately noticed something.

"Damn it! We were discovered~"

"My lord, what should we do now?"

"Don't worry about it, get ready to rush out and run separately!"

These cultists may be willing to sacrifice their lives for their gods, but apparently they have convinced themselves, at least not the senseless death they are doing now.

Even One-Eyed wanted to run away at the first moment, and they had no advantage in fighting the army in such an open space.

If he was in good condition, he wouldn't be afraid to meet these ordinary troops. As long as he could create a corpse to devour the flesh and blood, he would be confident enough to use the power of the seeds to break out of the encirclement.

But now his body has been affected by the curse and his strength has declined. He relies on the power of the seed to suppress the curse. Once he uses it, he doesn't know what will happen to him, but it is definitely not a good thing.

So far, they can only run separately to see if they can escape.

Thinking of this, Cyclops couldn't help but be filled with gloom, how could his actions be exposed?
You must know that this time he acted against the above-mentioned intentions. If too many people die and affect the plan, it is unknown whether he can survive, not to mention whether he can use his credit in exchange for the adults to take the initiative to lift the curse.

These damned guys, I will definitely destroy this town in the future!Be sure to kill that monster!

But let's run away now.

It's a pity that their actions were already expected by Leonard. The formation of soldiers was surrounded. When the cultists found themselves exposed, the formation had already been set up, and the small temporary camp was directly blocked.

Seeing those people rushing out, Disma took out his pistol and pointed it at a cultist without hesitation, and gave instructions at the same time.

"shooting!"

Disma's voice sounded, and gunshots were fired at the same time, accompanied by thick gunpowder smoke rising in the queue.

Their ability to be selected to become musketeers showed that they were at least top-notch among the five hundred soldiers, but they were limited by equipment problems, and the accuracy of the flintlock guns was inherently poor.

Not to mention that the enemy has spread out and is moving. It shows that only part of the lead bullets hit the enemy, and the rest fly to nowhere.

Even if they were shot a few times, these cultists had held flesh and blood rituals to obtain the blessings of their ancestors, and they were physically stronger than ordinary people. Even if they were shot, as long as they didn't hurt their vitals, they could resist and continue to escape.

Only Disma is confident that one shot in the head of an unlucky ghost will instantly kill him.

More than a dozen cultists, one round of shooting actually killed only one and injured five or six. This kind of record is not glorious at all, and before the next reload is completed, he is in a dangerous vacuum period.

Seeing this scene, Disma felt tremendous pressure. It wasn't that he was afraid of those cultists, but that the numerous mistakes made by these soldiers made him speechless.

Before, he thought that Barton would not be able to win if he had guns and cannons and so many people, but now he understood.

too poor!He decided that when he went back, he had to put more strength on this group of boys. If the lord saw this situation, it would be slapping him, the instructor, in the face.

Disma is like this, not to mention those soldiers, even soldiers who can achieve three shots per minute during training are overwhelmed by the huge pressure at this time.

Seeing the approaching enemies, their hands trembled, their brains went blank, and some even became at a loss, and even instinctively wanted to escape.

"The musket retreats, the spear advances!"

Fortunately, the military order was issued at this time, and the soldiers kept their training in mind. The pikemen walked out of the formation, while the musketeers temporarily retreated to the back to load ammunition.

The protection of their companions greatly relieved the pressure in their hearts, and it was only at this time that Disma's scolding sound appeared.

"Cheer up, remember that you are never alone, your companions are by your side!"

"Reload the ammunition immediately, retreat to defend the position, and be careful to cross fire!"

The musketeer immediately started loading ammunition after hearing the order. The harsh training did play a role, even if the brain hadn't slowed down, his hands moved by themselves.

The pikemen held the spears tightly in their hands and pushed them out. When the distance between the two continued to shrink, the soldiers could see the ferocious faces of the cultists, and they couldn't help but tighten their grips.

And in those pikemen, Barristan tapped his shield and made a sound, and there was that vicissitudes of roaring along with it.

"You are the soldiers chosen by the lord himself. You are Hamlet's soldiers. Now hold your spears and prove to me that you are not cowards!"

"We are not cowards!" one soldier shouted, and the rest shouted as hard as they could, seeing that they were in much better condition.

The operation of a long gun does not need to be as troublesome as a musket, as long as you know how to insert it and pull it out, and the long gun has a safe distance to deal with the enemy's impact.

Not to mention that some of these pikemen are mixed with veterans who have seen blood. They seem more calm and calm, and they don't feel pressured by the approach of the enemy. On the contrary, their eyes fall on the enemy, as if they are ready to insert somewhere~
