our family is gone

Chapter 302 Return of the Fleet
"Let's go, I guess Tamara can't wait to see you."

Lance made a joke and turned to leave, and Amanda could only keep up.

Tamara was very sensible outside, she didn't follow in, but waited outside.

Seeing Lance come out now, he wanted to say something to inquire about the situation, but the expression on his face instantly collapsed when he saw the people behind him.

"Okay, now under my witness, the matter between you two is over, I know you are not happy, but have you ever thought that the conflict between you is groundless, even inexplicable .

Just because of the struggle of the previous generation, they have been hostile for many years, and they have become a tool for them to fight for power, and they even want to kill each other when they fight. It is really sad and ridiculous. "

Lance's words undisguisedly exposed the real contradiction between the two, and it didn't lie with them at all.

None of them were idiots, and after hearing this, they all fell silent, and the strong hostility between the two gradually covered up.

In any case, it has been so many years, it is impossible for them to give up their hostility in a short time, and it is already very good to restrain themselves in front of him.

"Okay, now guess what the Omen Seekers will do to us?"

Lance threw out a common enemy, which immediately diverted the hostility between them.

"Killers, people like her will disrupt the situation and try to kill us in the chaos."

Tamara said it without hesitation, and her words also hinted that Lance should not trust Amanda.

Hearing this, Amanda's eyes were a little strange, but she didn't say anything but chose to remain silent.

To be honest, she knew that the teacher had already begun to plan for Hamlet, but it was not enough to let her speak out.

Lance didn't care, and waved his hand, "Okay, you two have been making trouble for so many days, take a good rest."

As a chess player, he has enough patience to plan, and the two are destined to fall into his own grand plan.

Lance leaves, leaving the two behind.

After losing the suppression, the two didn't hide their dislike for each other any more. The cold snorts sounded almost at the same time, accompanied by almost the same turning movements. The tacit understanding between the two was really top-notch.

…………

"Is it unreasonable to choose to protect the two at this time? This will draw us into the struggle of the Roma."

"I originally wanted to seek cooperation and use the strength of the Roma to fight against the cult, but now the situation has completely gotten out of control.

Moreover, there is a lot of war outside, no matter whether the Roma take action or not, the situation in Hamlet is destined to become more and more complicated, and this is the problem we need to face in the future, and now I can trust very few people. "

Lance unreservedly told Grindale about the confrontation between himself and the Roma during this period, and took out the [messenger] while talking.

"It's a good thing I got from them."

Grindel took over the strangely shaped eyeballs and soon learned how to use them under Lance's guidance.

"Amazing stuff."

She finished speaking, and a repeated voice came from Lance's side in the next second.

"It's amazing..."

Hearing this, Grindel's gentle face couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

But the deeper attitude this piece of equipment gave her was trust, and she could feel the unreserved trust from Lance.

For a while, she also felt guilty about her previous suspicion.

Lance is actually quite helpless, because this thing needs spirituality to drive, and there are not many superhumans in the town.

Among these people, only Grindel, who has no background, can be given.

"I understand." Grindel put away half of the [Messenger], and made her promise in the face of Lance's trust.

Lance didn't mind leaving a little more time to communicate with her slowly, but soon a message spread around the town.

The caravan is back.

When he returned from Totnes, he asked Walter to lead a team to form a caravan, in order to monopolize the food supply of Owendo City, to open up the business routes of the entire Hamlet territory, and to collect information on those human gathering places.

For this reason, twenty soldiers were specially sent there to be responsible for the safety of the caravan and the monitoring of Walt.

It has been almost a month now, and the caravan that went out finally came back.

Lance hurried over and finally saw the caravan that had been out for a long time. Compared with when he left, the long caravan was full of goods, and the axles made creaking noises under the pressure. The poor horse pulling the cart is struggling forward, and the driver will whip his whip before he can get lazy.

Good guy, after a rough look at Lance, the size of this team is at least twice as large as before, and Walt's ability is really strong.

"Thanks for your hard work, welcome back!" Lance walked forward, and Navot quickly got off the carriage.

"My lord." Walter was also quite emotional when he saw Lance greet him. Looking at him, he knew that this trip would not be easy.

And Lance also noticed a tall and strong man following Walter.

"Lord, this is Tardif, a very famous bounty hunter, an old friend, because he offended some people and was thrown into prison, I'll get him out."

Walter raised his hand to introduce, but his words caused the man's dissatisfaction.

"Fuck you." Tardiff slapped Walter's backhand, "I didn't do anything for you?"

"Help, help." As a businessman with a smooth personality, Walter followed his words and praised, "That's right, I don't know how much trouble I will suffer if I don't have Tardiff's help this trip."

Lance looked at the man in front of him with interest. He wore a Viking-style blindfold helmet. The dark cloth at the hem of the helmet extended to cover the entire head and even the shoulders, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

With thick scale armor on his body, an ax and hook lock on his waist, as well as some large and small packages and strange props, he looks like a very professional mercenary.

Whether it was the scratches on the nails or the strong bloody smell on his body that was hard to wash off, they all indicated that he had just experienced a battle not long ago.

While Lance was watching people, Tardiff was also looking at his employer's boss.

"I don't recognize money but people. Give me money, and I'll help you do things." Tardiff approached and patted Lance with the back of his hand. "But remember, I won't let you go without a copper coin."

Another aristocratic lord might not be able to accept Tardiff's actions, but Lance didn't care about his somewhat quack style of communication at all, and instead smiled to comfort him.

"Don't worry, the money will not be short of you."

He turned to Walter and asked, "Isn't this a peaceful trip?"

After a little hesitation, Walter could only bite the bullet and say, "We encountered a lot of trouble this time. Two soldiers were killed and a few were injured."

Lance seemed a little silent when he heard this, but he didn't get angry or anything. He just looked at the soldiers accompanying the team and sighed.

"Don't be afraid, you are home..."

Tardiff looked a little strange looking at Lance like this, didn't he just die two people, in the guard business, death is like eating.

Why is the boss like this?

Naturally, someone related to the convoy is responsible for receiving the inventory, while Lance and Walter conducted in-depth exchanges on the situation of this trip.

The war in the empire has become more and more exaggerated, even spreading to the northern border, and the war will definitely lead to more troublesome problems, that is, food shortage.

Refugees from famine in the past are refugees from war now.

I have to say that Lance's previous bet on food was completely correct, and it was also because of the pre-emptive layout that made it easier for Walt to collect more food later, and this time the convoy's cargo Large quantities are grain.

When asked about the rapid expansion of the team, Walter explained.

"It's getting more and more chaotic outside now, and many small caravans can't survive in this situation, so I took over their convoy and some people.

Although they couldn't bear the loss and lowered the price by themselves, I still raised the price a little bit. In addition to the relatively large scale, it cost a lot of money, but because I didn't have time to discuss it with the adults outside. "

Walter was actually a little worried about Lance's opinion on this matter. After all, not everyone could understand his decision, so he had to explain it.

"It's not just the business group's fleet that is bought with extra money, but their experience and route.

Every, even the most humble small team has its own channel. "

"Don't be nervous, you did a good job on this matter." Lance raised his hand with a smile to comfort him: "You can't ask me for everything outside, just follow your ideas when you encounter things, I believe you .”

Naturally, Lance's vision will not be entangled in short-term money gains and losses. At this time, it is wise for Walter to be willing to take over the caravan at the original price.

This not only saved the jobs of many people, but also had the effect of buying horse bones with a lot of money. If there is a business group in the back who can't support it, it will definitely find Walter immediately.

It is easiest to buy people's hearts with money. After all, money can be earned again, but people's hearts are not.

The biggest fear of going out is the suspicion of the boss. Walter has been in the society for so many years, and he has worked hard to build these businesses from scratch. He naturally understands how difficult this kind of trust is.

"My lord, this is the business route I collected, which basically includes many routes..."

Walter took out a piece of parchment, and on it was the route he took over the caravans, which marked the various human gathering places in Hamlet, as well as its local specialties.

There are also some dangerous places marked on it. This is the road that the caravan has explored with their lives, and the time limit is still the most recent.

"Okay, okay!" Lance held the map like a treasure, and the smile on his face was uncontrollable.

This map alone is worth that much money, let alone taking over the team.

It can only be said that the money is well spent, it is worth it!

"Tell me, what do you want." Lance put down the map and looked at Walter. He has never been stingy with his own people, as long as he can do things, feel free to ask for anything.

"There are too many robbers and bandits on the road, and there are even some robbers composed of deserters. If the convoy wants to operate normally, these must be eradicated. If it wasn't for Tardif this trip, we might not be able to come back so easily."

Lance was a little surprised that he didn't mention his own request, but talked about the current problems facing the business group.

Lance also saw the enemies marked on the map. The place he had cleared before was also occupied by robbers who appeared from nowhere, and some small villages were marked on the map. Slaughtered and lost forever.

He agreed without much hesitation. The large-scale development needs more serfs, and I believe that labor will make them change their minds.

"I will send troops to suppress the bandits. With the map, it is very easy for us to find them, but all the soldiers in the convoy will return to the army system.

But don't worry, when the time comes, I will give you a group of trained people to form guards. "

It was completely helpless to send soldiers to protect the caravan before. The army should not be involved in commercial activities. They only have one task, and that is to obey his orders.

And the guards Lance left for him were the soldiers who quit because their families were implicated, and some of them were in administrative positions.

Lance didn't forget these people, but observed them, and then reactivated them.

Now is the time.

"What happened to that bounty hunter named Tardiff?"

"Tardiff is well-known in Owendo. He was originally a gangster who grew up on the street. He paid attention to his loyalty, but he was betrayed by the gang boss and caught as a scapegoat. From then on, he only recognized money, not people.

I knew something was wrong with the situation, and I definitely needed some stronger guards, so I found a relationship to redeem him.

But Tardif took money to do things, and he did it beautifully. Thanks to his protection team along the way, he came back safely. "

"You just need to keep this kind of person. You also need a guard by your side. It's too chaotic outside." Lance also understood the origin of this Tardiff, but he didn't care too much.

A simple thug means little to him, but Walt needs it very much.

It's just that Walter shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and explained something.

"As soon as he came out that night, he slaughtered the gangster, and the gang leader was killed by him. You must know that there are people behind these guys. In addition, the tense situation is now in Tardif, and Tardif is now wanted by the whole city. If I hadn't covered it up for him, he would have even left. If you don’t come out, you can’t go back to Owendo.”

"This guy is interesting."

Grans likes this kind of sex very much, and he never revenges overnight, because he reported it on the spot.

"However, you still have to pay attention to your security. If you encounter problems, those goods will be lost if they are lost. My army will get them back, but you must not have an accident, otherwise I will not explain to Tiffany."

"Yes, my lord."

When Walter mentioned his daughter, he couldn't restrain his longing for home. After explaining the situation in a few words, he hurriedly left here.

Before he could go out, he saw Tiffany waiting outside.

"Father!"

"How is this time? The lord didn't embarrass you, did he?"

"No, you're the only one looking for that guy, it's impossible for him to look for you, and every time he looks for it, it's a job." Tiffany took her father's hand and began to complain, looking somewhat dissatisfied.
