our family is gone

Chapter 43
Lance fell into thought when he heard this.

The empire's situation is not stable, whether it is the misty mountains that cut across the empire's territory, the snow-covered land in the north, or the endless desert in the east.There are many barbarians living in tribes. Their social structure is still in the tribal period, and most of them practice shamanism.

Some tribes often conflict with the empire, while others cooperate with the empire. Anyway, the relationship between the tribe and the empire is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

But the demand is real. The tribe needs various resources produced by the empire, which requires money.

Mercenary groups like the Claw of the White Wolf are actually those tribes that let their fighters come out to take on tasks to make money and subsidize the tribe.

I just don't know why I offended the nobles, and finally fled here.

After knowing the news, he directly connected all the clues, and the situation became clearer.

The people of Hamlet rioted under the prediction of the prophet, and the ancestor planned to spend money to hire people to kill a group of people to divert the conflict.

And at this time [White Wolf's Claw] fled to the vicinity, and then joined the attack on Hamlet in exchange for life.

It's just that the mercenary group was disabled by the army and was unable to break through the town, or it could be said that the mercenary group intended to preserve their strength and did not attack with all their strength.

Then the deserters came over, joined the looting team, and directly opened the way with cannons.

After those bandits plundered, the ancestor disappeared and didn't mean to pay the final payment, so they just entrenched on the old road.

"What do you think of the relationship between these bandits?"

Lance then asked a question.

"During the war, those bandits did not command to fight on their own, and they were even wary of each other. That's why the town was able to resist for so many days."

"I went in for a few days and there really wasn't much communication between the bandits."

The words of Barristan and Disma also confirmed Lance's judgment.

He knew that these people were able to unite to besiege Hamlet before because there was such a large piece of fat in front of them, and everyone would be fine if they had some to eat, but now the fat was gone.

It's a mess in the first place, everyone has their own interests, why should I listen to you?
Not to mention that in the first plunder, some people must get more and some people get less. The unbalanced distribution has already planted the seeds of suspicion.

You expect them to live in peace?It’s fine if you don’t eat black and eat black~
Under certain circumstances, the small town was able to avoid the second plunder because those people fought among themselves and wanted to preserve their strength, so they were unwilling to spend their own resources to attack the town and dragged each other into the quagmire.

After sorting out all the clues, he soon had an idea, turned his head up and grinned suddenly.

"I found a way to deal with them."

These words immediately caught the attention of the three of them. They were all curious about how the lord would deal with these bandits?

"Drive the tiger and swallow the wolf."

Several people still don't understand this word so well, and they all seem a little strange.

Lance explained slowly.

"Just let the bandits fight themselves."

"But how can we make them fight?" Several people understood Lance's meaning, but it was even more difficult to understand the details.

Why do other bandits listen to you?

Lance spoke with a confident smile on his face.

"The key to solving the problem of bandits lies in the artillery group and the wolf group, and it is unrealistic to rely on a few of us to solve these two bandit groups, so the most effective way is to use the grievances between the two groups.

You should also know the situation of those tribal barbarians in the empire, not to mention that the mercenary group was disabled by the army. There are conflicts among them. The stress will be greatly reduced. "

Because of various reasons, such as cultural differences, religious beliefs, and most directly resource conflicts, those barbarians and empires often go to war.

As a result, these barbarians living in the empire were often discriminated against because they were inferior to others. In addition, their mercenary regiments were disabled by the army. To some extent, they really had hatred, so it was impossible to have a good face towards these deserters.

And the "pride of the empire" is also in the hearts of these deserters.

Although I am a deserter, we imperial people are superior to you barbarians, and it is also impossible to give the barbarians a good face.

Several people were also thinking about what Lance said. They were all mercenaries wandering around in many places, so they naturally knew the discrimination against those barbarians.

Because they also discriminate against those barbarians. Although they have never been in contact with them, they have a preconceived feeling that they are all barbaric and rude, so let's not say anything good.

"The key now is how to provoke the struggle between the two sides."

"My lord, tell me exactly what to do."

Disma didn't have so many thoughts, he just knew that he would just do what the lord said, and he would lead himself to success again and again.

"The plan is very simple, you just need to go undercover and enter the artillery regiment."

"Clam!"

This made Disma a little bit embarrassed, this thing didn't join just by saying it.

"Don't worry, just listen to me."

Lance continued to add.

"Now there is no direct conflict between the two regiments, so let's create a conflict. First, let's kill some small bandit regiments. At this time, you disguise yourself as a surviving bandit and go to the artillery regiment, saying that the wolf regiment wants to kill other bandits. Then occupy the town of Hamlet.

If the artillery regiment does not accept you, we will continue to hunt and kill the lone bandits on the periphery, causing the area to panic, and then the artillery regiment will not be able to sit still.

If we succeed in undercover, we should cooperate from inside to outside. You take the artillery regiment to a stronghold, and we pretend to be the wolf regiment to attack, so that they will believe you.

You persuade the artillery group to attack the wolf group, as long as the fight starts, the wolf group will continue to die with the artillery group if one person is killed. "

Lance talked about his plan with a little excitement. His ideas were wild and unconstrained. Leonard and Barristan, who had military experience, couldn't keep up.

This is quite a bold decision. If a commander in the army issues such an order, they will wonder if there is something wrong with that person's mind.

But the few people here will not doubt Lance.

Because the lord has something to do, he will implement the decisions he makes.

What's more, the same style of using one's own strengths by weakening the enemy and then playing more with less has been verified several times.

There is nothing to worry about. After getting used to Lance's style, the few people are a bit normal.

Several people discussed the perfect plan, and then Lance directly confirmed it.

"Take a day off and execute it the day after tomorrow."

"Yes!" Everyone answered.

Lance wants to start immediately, but Disma needs to rest, Leonard and Barristan need to arrange training, and Lance himself has to make arrangements to prevent possible problems in the future.

However, after the dissolution, Lance did not leave directly, but took Disma to a very familiar place - a brothel.

Seeing the slightly repaired building in front of him, Disma couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.
