our family is gone

Chapter 84 Showdown
"This is Paul's home. Life is not very good, but the family of four is considered complete. Until the bandits broke in, the husband and two children were hacked to death by the bandits, and the wife was abused in front of the corpse, and then taken to the hospital. Walk.

On the other side, the house was hit by a shell and collapsed, and all the people were buried underneath, and when they were dug out, they could no longer be seen clearly.

Over there is..."

After a few days of recovery, the captain finally had the ability to walk on the ground.

It's just that now he has been out of shape after a few days of inner torture, his originally strong body has quickly lost weight, the wound on his head is still wrapped in gauze, and the beard on his face has also been shaved off, leaving him pale His face and mental state also looked extremely haggard.

Susan took the captain to walk on the land of Hamlet, pointing to the ruins and telling the situation.

She is responsible for caring for those survivors, and these are the real situations she has heard from those populations.

Others are what she saw when she participated in the construction of the town.

The captain leaned on the wooden stick and looked at those places, and the lingering scenes appeared in his mind, no matter what he couldn't get rid of.

Flames, howling, killing...

He tried to adapt, but he couldn't let it go, he couldn't forgive himself.

In other words, those townspeople who died tragically under the butcher's knife could not forgive him.

The soldiers he led to a dead end could not forgive him.

Susan looked at the captain's dazed expression, knowing that he was caught in that memory again.

In the past few days, he would be awakened by nightmares almost every night, and she could hear the screams from far away.

He still didn't come out, even if he told him about the hideous deeds of those bandits every day according to the lord's order, it didn't arouse his anger, but he became more and more depressed.

"The lord wants us to gather at the church. He has something to say."

"Okay, I know."

A passing townsman came over. After the captain noticed it, he instinctively avoided and wanted to stay away.

His reaction also made the townspeople look at him curiously, but they ran away to inform others without saying anything.

Seeing his reaction, Susan sighed, "Look up, life has to go on, do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

The captain was pulled out of his fantasy by these words and reluctantly raised his head. He didn't mean to defend himself when he heard Susan's questioning, but quickly lowered his head in silence.

Susan originally felt sorry for his experience, but seeing him so useless also gave birth to a hatred of iron and steel.

"Who hasn't been hurt by bandits here? You are such a big man that I am not as good as a woman!"

"I..." The captain was suffering so much that he couldn't speak out and was suffering. He had no face to face these townspeople, and was even more afraid of being recognized.

Susan also felt that she was a little too demanding, and her tone quickly calmed down.

"Let's go."

In the church hall at this time, all the original religious decorations were removed, leaving only the simple and rustic hall and the rows of benches.

In this era, even the churches in towns were built very spacious, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Everyone was sitting closely on the benches, and some were standing, discussing with each other, curious about what the lord called them to announce.

At this time, the soldiers with spears trotted all the way to the door of the church, and then the team split neatly into two teams. Lance appeared from between the teams and walked towards the church, followed by heavily armed soldiers. Leonard and Barristan.

At this time, Lance is no longer wearing the casual clothes, but a full set of armor, and the whole person looks very domineering.

"I want to announce something now." Lance didn't mean to waste time. He glanced at the crowd and said, "The bandits have regrouped and are heading towards Hamlet."

When the news was released, those people were blown away. The panic could be seen spreading among them, and various noisy voices appeared.

"Quiet!" The captain shouted, and then all the soldiers smashed their spears to the ground at the same time, making a dull sound.

It has to be said that he really frightened the townspeople by doing this, and calmed them down immediately.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will personally lead the army to resist the bandits. I won't let the tragedy happen again. As long as you stay here, you are safe. If they want to come here, they will not step on my dead body."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the soldiers and began to encourage them before the battle.

"Behind us are our relatives and friends. We have no way to retreat. Now take up your weapons and join me to make those bandits pay the price of their lives to pay off the blood debt they owe."

"eye for eye!"

Andrew was the first to raise the spear in his hand and shout loudly, and then the other soldiers also shouted loudly, converging into a huge wave of sound.

After seeing this scene, the originally panicked people felt inexplicably relieved, and the fear brought by the bandits was gradually dispelled by the lord.

No matter how good other people said, they wouldn't feel this way. They trusted Lance because the Lord Lord's promises had been fulfilled. Now they had money and bread to eat.

Of course, there are also those troops that look very energetic, as well as Leonard and Barristan, two powerful men who are extremely deterrent in their eyes.

It is because the facts are in front of them that they choose to believe in the lord, no matter how much they say without a realistic basis, they are just castles in the air~
Lance didn't like talking too much nonsense, because it would kill everyone's interest, so he directly arranged for Susan to take charge of the management here, and named a few people to cooperate with them in maintaining order.

In fact, all they need to do is lock the door, and those bandits without artillery can't threaten them at all.

Before leaving, Lance took a look at the captain, but led the team away without doing much.

If it is impossible for a person who pretends to be guilty to become so haggard in a short period of time, it is impossible to pretend.

After Lance left, the door of the church was blocked, and Susan ignored the captain, but began to organize everyone to settle down.

Although they believed in the lord, the pain caused to them by the bandit looting last time could not be easily subsided, and a heavy atmosphere spread in the hall.

Silence doesn't relieve stress, it just keeps those stresses to yourself.

Seeing everyone's lost emotions, Susan knew that she had to do something to strengthen everyone's confidence in the lord and let this difficult time pass quickly.

Recalling what the lord had said to him, he stood among the crowd and began to talk about the changes during this time.

Susan didn't know any words, she was just using the simplest words to tell that the appearance of the lord brought hope to herself who was in despair.
