our family is gone

Chapter 217 The only thing humans can rely on is themselves
When the sword fell, another abomination was driven from our land.

Lance looked up, and there was no monster anymore, only the scorched land and scattered body fragments showed how brutal the battle on this land was.

He himself can't remember how many monsters he killed. Even the machine is tired sometimes, but it's not the time to rest for Lance.

After dealing with the monsters here, I rushed back to the farm that was almost completely burned by the fire. A monster, not a soldier.

As for the soldiers who were assembled to the granary, it can be seen that many of them relaxed after experiencing the battle, except for a few instructors, they couldn't stand up at many stations, and their hands and feet were shaking.

I don't know if it was too intense just now that caused the muscle strain, or it was pure fear. At this time, I don't ask for more. It's good to be able to survive. Whether it's fear or exhaustion, all of them surged up.

Lance walked over and could see the tired and confused expressions on their faces, but when he saw himself, he revealed a kind of fanaticism.

That was a situation that Lance tried his best to avoid before. He didn't like this look, but now it seems that some things are out of his control. In this era, we must play according to the rules of this era.

"You don't need to get up, just sit down and rest well, thank you for your hard work."

Lance comforted them, and turned his attention to the other side, which was the sick and dead soldiers.

"how is the situation?"

"Twelve were killed in battle, and 56 were infected."

Hearing this, Lance was silent. These soldiers, together with the burned farms, and the polluted world, undoubtedly won the war, but at the same time, they paid a great price.

Several other people have similar attitudes, knowing that today's situation is definitely an unbearable price for the small town of Hamlet.

"The enemy took the initiative to attack and did not hesitate to expose themselves. It seems that they can't sit still, which also proves that we are doing the right thing."

Lance comforted everyone, then turned to Paracelsus and asked, "How is the infection?"

"After inhaling the spores, it manifested as coughing, throat inflammation and swelling, and some symptoms of blindness in both eyes. It is initially judged that this is still the beginning stage. If it continues to develop, the situation may worsen. In addition, our treatment conditions are not optimistic."

"I see." Lance frowned. He really couldn't do anything about it, but he had to find a way.

After all, these people can't be fired directly like in the game, they are bound to Hamlet, and Lance can't do that kind of thing.

We must find a way to treat it. It is very unrealistic to rely on Paracelsus alone, so we must find the root of the germs.

"Inform the town of the reason for this incident. It is a wild beast controlled by the wilderness witch who attacked and plundered the farm. We have killed and repulsed them now. Let them not be afraid. Inform the family of the deceased..."

Lance couldn't help but pause as he spoke, and then continued.

"Infected patients are isolated and treated separately. All soldiers who have experienced this battle must also be isolated and observed. If they are found to be infected, they must be treated. Those who take care of the patients must wear protective equipment..."

Regarding the aftermath, everything was unfolding in an orderly manner under Lance's arrangement. Similarly, Lance also learned about the cultists from Leonard and the others, and he was a little surprised to hear that they killed a monster.

"Thank you for your hard work, but don't spread the things about the cultists, and put it in this battle first."

When you say that witches are haunted, there may be movement in the church, but the intensity will not be too great. At most, one or two people or a small team will come.

But if it is said that there is a cult, you don't need to think about it and you know that something big will happen.

Because witches usually represent individuals, but cults represent groups, and they still subvert the foundation of church rule at the ideological level.

So you have to strike hard, otherwise why is the old thing a bandit and a witch, but he just refuses to do it himself?

But now his interests are the same as those of the old man. If the church or the empire really wants to intervene, then the surname here will not be Hamlet.

"My lord, those soldiers..."

Seeing the lord's silence, Leonard couldn't help reminding that there is still one thing that has not been resolved, and that is these soldiers who are still alive and participated in the battle, and have seen monsters and experienced miracles.

"They should know who the enemy is, but they should not suffer despair."

The meaning of his words is obvious. As guards and soldiers against the enemy, they must know about this sooner or later, but they should not know about the evil god, because ordinary people can't bear that kind of huge pressure.

After speaking, Lance couldn't help showing a helpless smile on his face. On the way back, he was still hesitating whether to use soldiers and how to mobilize them. Now it's all right, don't worry about it, just go one way to the end.

Walking in front of those soldiers, Lance spoke directly without much entanglement.

"The enemy today is very simple, a group of witches occupying the wilderness, because our reclamation makes them feel threatened, so they want to invade Hamlet and destroy everything we have.

It is undeniable that the enemy is very powerful, and they also know how to summon wild beasts and cast sorcerous curses. We paid a great price under their attack, more than ten people died and dozens of people were sick. "

Speaking of which, those soldiers couldn't help showing expressions of fear.

Indeed, when the passion subsides, there is only fear in retrospect, especially those who died once and were forcibly rescued when they were on the verge of death, they really felt the kiss of death.

In the end, they were just some recruits, and I'm afraid they wouldn't be willing to let them go through all that again.

"but!"

Lance's tone became heavy, which immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers and made them recover from the fear just now.

"We defeated those monsters, we killed the witches in the wilderness, we successfully defended Hamlet, we successfully protected our family, friends and companions, they will be proud of you, and I will be proud of your struggle!"

Lance almost yelled at the volume of a shout, and the pressure on the soldiers was greatly relieved, and the fear on their faces subsided, replaced by frenzied excitement.

Others don't have this effect, but he can, because of his Lord Hamlet, because he showed a miraculous ability to bring people back from the brink of death, because he killed countless monsters, because he killed witches ...

All the facts have piled up the ladder to the throne for him. In the eyes of these soldiers, he is everything, and his words are the truth.

"My lord, are you a god?"

A soldier struggled with this. Although they all knew that the lord did not like the church, they still asked this question.

Because in their worldview, only God has this ability.

"No, I'm not a god, I'm just a human being like you, because gods never care about human beings, only human beings care about the survival and development of human beings.

Take a look, today's victory belongs to Hamlet, and even more to you. It is you who fought against the monsters and defended this land from the enemy. "

This sentence made them fall into deep thought...

In fact, it is not difficult to understand.

The original residents of Hamlet were attacked by bandits, and the church ran away.

And these refugees were also driven away along the way, and the churches that have been worshiping for generations have not seen to stand up to help them.

It can be said that their belief in the church has long been shattered.

And it is the lord who cares about them and is willing to save them. Now they are fighting for Hamlet, fighting for the lord!

"Don't wait for the so-called gods to save you. Human beings can only rely on themselves. The future is created in our hands."

Lance's words resonated with everyone, but in fact there is a big loophole in this statement, that is, without him in this war, the result of these people is definitely not the opponent of the monster, and the result is nothing more than being besieged and dying.

It is also a "monster" who defeats a monster.

But Lance considered it again and again, and in the end he still didn't plan to adopt the method of religious rule, which would indeed make everyone in Hamlet enter into fanatical worship.

But the problem is that doing so will also fall into a religious trap, and the people's thoughts will be trapped in a prison of thought, which will create a very large inertia, and it will become difficult for him to promote some things in the future.

At the same time, no matter how it develops at that time, it will definitely fight religious wars with other churches. This is meaningless internal friction. Human enemies have always been only strange demons.

Lance is unwilling to reverse the car and return to ignorance. If he wants to find a way out for mankind, he must broaden his wisdom.

Only development is the last word.

damn it!If there is a tank group today, will it be Mushroom Man's turn to be arrogant?Straight away.

It's too early to talk about this, but Lance has a dream...

The catastrophe hit Hamlet hard, because people did die, and they died here, not to mention the sick soldiers and the burned farm.

Although the food was saved, all this made Hamlet panic.

Fortunately, Lance's influence is strong enough, and the soldiers support the lord, which did not cause too much fluctuation, but the lack of security is a true portrayal of them now, and the active reclamation has become negligent, for fear that the wilderness will be destroyed. What monsters will run out of it.

Faced with this situation, Lance summoned Leonard and the others after a short break.

"Whether it's to find a way to treat those soldiers, or completely eradicate the threat of the wilderness, the only way now is to go deep into the wilderness, find the witch hiding inside and destroy it."

Lance said the theme of this trip, and it was obvious what it meant.

"William, you need to stay and be responsible for maintaining the law and order of the town; Paracelsus, you should stay and be responsible for finding ways to treat those soldiers; Patton, you should stay and be responsible for managing the army, and be responsible for the safety of the town and several surrounding farms."

All the people present were assigned tasks, so those who were not assigned naturally went to the wilderness with him.

"Reynard, Disma, Barristan, do you have any questions?"

"My lord's order is my goal."

"It's time for those guys to taste what it's like to be attacked."

"I'm not too old to move."

The three expressed their opinions positively, and Lance immediately decided on the mission - [Kill the Witch]!
Lance gave them time to prepare, but left Paracelsus alone.

"Let me tell you, I support your research on diseases and the human body. There are too many heinous sinners in this world, and I don't mind letting them be used as experimental subjects.

But don't do anything to my soldiers, and don't do anything to your own people. They are not your experimental subjects. I will only say this once. This is my bottom line, and it should also be your bottom line. "

"I know." Paracelsus is not so stupid, and now he can provide himself with such good conditions.

Not to mention seeing so many strange and interesting research objects in just a few days.

Arranging things simply, Lance set off overnight without even taking a rest for the night.

Victory at this time means that the enemy is greatly weakened. If you don't race against time to take the opportunity to go up, is it necessary to give the enemy time to react and develop?
"Wangcai." Lance yelled, and this guy ran out of the room, turning back and forth excitedly, his legs jumping eagerly.

You must know that when you came back just now, you were like a dead dog and didn't want to move, but you just recovered so quickly. Looking at the energetic appearance, it seems that you will never be tired.

Seeing Wangcai's lively appearance, Lance raised his hand and "ravaged" him fiercely, and the pressure in his heart could not help but ease.

Touching the wolf's head, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "Dogs are easier than me. I'm here to be an exploiter. How come it's my turn to be exploited? You are really a heinous sin!"

Speaking of which, Lance turned his head to look at Wangcai, "When you see an old thing, you must bite him hard, you know?"

Wangcai was smart, but he still couldn't understand what he meant, so he just leaned over and stuck out his tongue to lick it.

Never mind so much, just lick it!
"Stupid dog." Lance pushed its face away with a look of disgust...

Disma and Barristan are both bachelors, and they can set off as soon as they pack up, but Leonard has a wife and children.

"Are you leaving again?" The woman looked worried. She was also frightened today. Fortunately, her husband returned safely in the end.

But before he sat still, he hurried home and told him that he had to perform another task. How could this not make the woman feel entangled.

Leonard froze when he heard this, and couldn't help comforting him: "This time the lord is leading the team, I will be fine, you are safe at home."

"I know, don't worry about things at home, just be careful yourself."

The woman didn't say much, she just helped put on the armor and chose to silently support her husband.

His wife's attitude made Leonard take a long breath, as if the fatigue on his body had been eliminated, and at the same time he became more determined in his goal.

Whether it's for himself or for thousands of such families, he wants to destroy the demons and keep all enemies out!

The carriage was waiting outside the door. Leonard was wearing a new set of armor and walked out of the house with a long sword in his hand. His state was obviously blessed.

Is this the power of family?
"Let's go." Lance didn't talk nonsense, and came to the edge amidst the rolling wheels, and then led the team directly into the wilderness.
