Chapter 47: Erection of Authority
"There's about 2,000 dinars in this box."
Byron stood in a circle between the soldiers, and the silver coins flowed down between his fingers, and landed on the other coins in the chest, causing a pleasant sound of silver coins to strike.
There was nothing else in the chest of this pirate leader, it was a little rusty silver, and it was a bright dinar. According to Byron's preliminary statistics, the total value was more than 2,000 dinars.
The soldiers listened very attentively to Byron's words, keeping their eyes fixed on the silver coins.
"You've questioned my decision, and the mercenaries have laughed at us, but it's proven to be stupid."
"I promised you 300 dinars, but now I've changed my mind, I'm going to give you more, so that you can be rich!"
The cheers remembered, and Byron also called out the names of the soldiers.
"Fatis, Aren, your abilities are in everyone's eyes, you fought bravely in this battle, I want to give each of you a bonus of 100 dinars, please don't refuse."
"Thank you for your kindness, dear sir."
Fatis was initially inclined to refuse, but Byron had better give him the money.
"A new outfit, thank you, Captain."
Alleyne nodded, gladly accepting the reward.
"Bendak, you're the best crossbowman I've ever seen, and many times you've been able to send those annoying guys to hell, I'm going to reward you with 50 dinars, and a pack horse, you're so good."
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
With a hint of redness on his face, Bandak took the silver coin and fiddled with it in his hand.
"And you, good brother, you and Fatis killed the pirate leader, the bastard whose head is worth 500 dinars. Although they took the head as agreed, I will reward you as compensation for joining the team. Of the 200 dinars, you will have 100 each. ”
"You are generous, sir!"
Byron commended them one by one, and gave 30 dinars to each of those who performed well, and 15 dinars to those who performed mediocrely.
Everyone had a smile on their faces, with the exception of two people, two Swadiaans.
Byron stopped in front of them, his expression becoming serious.
"Both, today I think we need to make something clear."
The expected performance of the two of them disappeared in an instant, and they seemed a little overwhelmed.
"You two joined us in Dehrim, when you two almost went to jail for stealing. I've taken you two in, given weapons to your town militia, and paid you a higher salary than they do, which is enough to make many village artisans envious. ”
"But you two have never trained seriously, used your paychecks to gamble, and owed a lot of debts, and Bandak made up for you."
Speaking of this, Bandak smiled sheepishly.
"Of course, what to do with the money is your business, but you almost ruined our reputation by saying the names of our team. I don't care if you've drunk too much or not, but your behavior is enough in some teams to be blindfolded and beaten and thrown out. ”
The two men looked at each other, and they both saw panic in each other's eyes. They squeezed their palms, and there was already a lot of sweat there.
"Also, the last time we were coars, I have to admit that many brothers left us, and I'm ashamed of that. But I'm outraged that you've been so disrespectful of those who died, and you've been trying to escape from our ranks. And after entering the city, you sold eighty copper in the tavern with the information of our team, and I really didn't know that this team was worth this amount of money to you. ”
''And you say that I... What do you mean by me? Incompetent and greedy, right, saying that I only have the strength of a sparrow, but I want to be an eagle, saying that I am beyond my strength, and sooner or later I will die in a ravine. You want to find another job and persuade other soldiers to steal my horses and goods and leave, right? ”
The two of them were really scared this time, their bodies began to tremble, cold sweat left on their foreheads, and their mouths were wide open, but they didn't know what to say.
"So, you two, how do you think I should reward you two?"
Byron bowed slightly to them, and the two of them were so frightened that they turned their heads and tried to run away, but the two Vecchia riders who had just taken Byron's benefits had already stopped them, and the expressions on their faces were very fierce, and the smiles on the corners of their mouths were sarcastic.
They easily unloaded their weapons and forced them to look at Byron.
Although they are illegitimate children, this does not mean that they will really kill civilians without background, they will not feel pressure.
"Forgive us, my lord, we will not dare again."
When one knelt down, the other knelt down, and they looked at Byron tremblingly, and their words began to stutter.
Byron made a look, the axe of the rider of Vicchia was also half raised, the soldiers around him held their breath, Fatis was a little anxious, and was about to stop Byron, but Alleyn on the side stopped him, and shook his head at him, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two soldiers fell to their knees, watching as the teeth of the rising axes struck louder and louder, and the middle of one of their pants became a little wet.
But Byron eventually waved his hand, and the two Vecchian riders put away their weapons as well.
The two soldiers were completely spread on the ground, their muscles relaxed, and they felt like they were the last to survive.
"For the sake of your performance this time, although you did not kill the enemy, you did not get rid of us to retreat, and in order to fulfill my promise, I will give you 5 dinars each. But remember, if you still want to do something bad for us... It won't be me who dies in the ravine! ”
Then, without looking back, Byron walked over to Fatis and them, and a Vecchian veteran next to him threw a shovel at the two of them, pointing to the corpses of pirates all over the ground.
"Remember, my brothers, we are the Peony Mercenary Regiment, and we will not lose to any other mercenary team on this continent! Follow me, and I will give you wealth beyond the reach of ordinary people, and I will gladly share it with you. And if I achieve something and gain status, I will let you share in the glory with me. But remember that those who betray us will regret what they have done, even in their birth! I do what I say! ”
"Finally, let's take these coins and return to Wocheze for a banquet to celebrate this victory!"
"Byron, we are always with you!"
John immediately took the lead in shouting, and the other soldiers followed suit.
"For Byron! For Byron! ”
