But in fact, Lance knew that this affair had a touch of the Goddess of Fortune's favor.
As he had said, this battle was not originally in the plan. When Lance saw Dismas being taken out, he knew something was amiss and, after observing for a while, decisively launched an attack.
Truthfully, he hadn't intended for those people to escape. He was alone, and the loading speed of his flintlock gun wasn't fast. Killing most of them was already the limit of his performance, even boosted by his equipment.
He had also been somewhat afraid of disrupting the plan, but to rescue Dismas, he had no choice. He simply couldn't give up such an excellent and obedient fighter. This particular disruption wasn't a strong enough reason to make him reconsider.
He had already prepared himself to abandon the mission and make other plans upon returning. But after listening to Dismas's report, he was in no hurry. These people have played right into my hands! Without this man, the plan could not continue.
