our family is gone

Chapter 55
But in fact, Lance knew that this matter was somewhat of a blessing from the goddess of luck.

As he said, this battle was not originally planned. Lance knew something was wrong when he saw Disma being escorted out. After observing for a while, he decisively launched an attack.

To be honest, he really didn't intend to escape those who escaped. He was alone, and the reload speed of the flintlock gun couldn't be fast enough. To be able to kill most of them was already at the limit with the blessing of equipment.

He was also a little afraid that he would mess up the plan like this, but in order to save Disma, he had to do this. He couldn't give up an excellent and obedient thug.

At least not enough for this matter~
I was already ready to give up the mission and go back to make another plan.

It's just that after listening to Disma's report, he was not in a hurry.

These guys put it well!

Without this person, the plan cannot continue.

Disma didn't know what Lance was thinking, he only knew that the lord was right.

"Bring that guy here." Lance gestured, and Leonard escorted him to the front.

The third child, who was a little crazy before, is completely honest now, but he is still very curious about the identity of Lance and his group.

"You are their leader? What do you have to do with those savages? They attacked us, do you know who provoked them?"

"Guess?" Lance said as he took off his helmet, revealing a slightly immature face compared to the others.

Now the third child finally saw his face clearly, but the curiosity didn't recede but intensified.

How could an ordinary young man obey three experienced fighters?

The only explanation is the difference in status. Is this person a nobleman or an imperial official?
But how could it be possible for a nobleman or an official to experience the battlefield in person like this, and this outfit doesn't look like it.

I have to say that the third child struggled for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only bow his head and answer in the end.

"I don't know~"

Lance was also trying to figure out what the other party was thinking, and he understood something when he saw the third child's reaction, and explained to him.

"The bounty for us to track down the whereabouts of the [White Wolf's Claws] mercenary group is only [-] gold coins under the order of the master, and if we get that extraordinary item and return it to the master, we can get a reward of [-] gold coins."

As soon as the third child said this, he understood something. It would be reasonable if they were all raised by nobles.

It's just that Leonard and the others didn't understand, and looked at each other for a while.

But they knew that the lord would not talk nonsense, so there must be his intentions, so they were all silent.

"Then why are you attacking us? We are not those savages."

The third child said something, carefully observing the reaction of the young man in front of him.

"Hahaha~ You know exactly what we are going to do. We are all smart people, so don't waste time."

When Lance said this, the third child fell silent. He knew that his temptation had been seen through.

In fact, the third child had already guessed the plan of this group of people. If they were really just an advance team of three people, they only needed to find the traces of the mercenary group and report to them. Naturally, someone would come to kill those barbarians and get the things.

But it is clear that these people are very greedy, not satisfied with the reward for reporting the situation, and intend to get things themselves.

It's just that a few of them obviously don't have this ability, so they faked the scene, and then let one person induce the people on their side to do it, and then steal the fruit after they are both defeated.

The idea is good, but what is even more frightening is that the third child knows that reality develops like this.

Counted...

A sense of powerlessness lingered in his heart.

"Being a bandit is bad, right? You can't eat well, you can't sleep well, and you have to worry about enemies that may appear at any time~"

Lance's voice came with a smile, drawing the third child's attention back.

"what do you want to say?"

"My meaning is very simple, join us." Lance smiled and began to introduce.

"Join us, and when you get the things, you will receive a reward point for you. That's [-] gold coins. Think about it, why don't you live better than being a bandit now when you get the money?"

I have to say that the third child is moved, there is indeed no way out for being a bandit, not to mention that life during this period is indeed suffering.

"How much can I take?"

"Six hundred." Lance made a gesture.

"two thousand."

"Eight hundred."

"Those are my brothers in the battlefield, so I need to pay more."

"One thousand and two, more is not negotiable." Lance didn't bother to talk any more, and insisted directly, "We have been preparing for so long, it is very difficult for you to divide so many at once."

The third child also knew that he was only asking for two thousand for a counter-offer, and one thousand and two was already in line with his mind.

"Okay, deal."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Wait, wait until they lose both sides. If you win, we will kill the boss and the second and help you to the top. If the barbarian wins, you will come forward to gather the remaining bandits and continue fighting."

"Help me up, aren't you afraid that I will kill you after I take over?" The third child was surprised by Lance's arrangement and couldn't help but test it out.

"Huh~" Lance snorted coldly, "There are three other teams who took over the mission, but we found it first, and they are stronger than us, so they don't need to cooperate with the bandits at all. It's just the next barbarian, waiting to be hunted down."

The third child understood right away, but quickly reacted, and hurriedly asked.

"Then what do you do if you kill me after you get the things?"

"Idiot, I need you to bring those people to join a stronger team to compete with other teams. Are you afraid you won't have money to help the master? You have no knowledge at all."

Lance looked disgusted, and his tone revealed disdain, but the third child didn't seem to be humiliated. On the contrary, he was quite happy. It must be better to be a nobleman than a leader or a bandit.

"Brother, I was wrong. I will never ask such stupid things in the future."

Seeing the third child's reaction, Disma and the others couldn't help admiring the lord, who opened his mouth to say anything.

And the bandit leader was really persuaded by a few words from him.

"Now tell us about your situation, how did you end up here?"

"Don't talk about it, we were originally an artillery company stationed in the city, and we received an order..."

Listening to what he said, Lance probably understood that there was a severe drought in the central provinces of the empire, and food harvest failures led to famine, and this situation gradually spread within the empire.

Where do refugees go in this situation?

Of course, it is heading towards the rich and rich East.

The refugees fleeing famine along the way has developed into mobs attacking several towns, but the empire just didn't respond, forcing the eastern provinces to use the army to keep the refugees out, and they were sent to the front line by a single order.
