Ganar was silent for a moment. It is true that he is a soldier, but he can achieve the height of a thousand people, and he is not a mediocre talent who knows nothing about the emperor's mental skills. With his strength and military exploits at this time, Kunwuer will not be able to tolerate him, and it will be light to degrade the herding horses! He can take life and death lightly, what should he do with this group of brothers who can cross the desert? Garner shook his head vigorously, but could not shake the terrible thought out of his head. Looking up and seeing that the viscount was still staring at him, he opened his mouth: "This...... This one...... I've thought about it too. But where can there be a way to do both things in a moment? What do you think I should do? ”

"If I were you, I would send a small team back to Usu to report the situation of this battle to Kunur in detail. As for the return of the whole army, I will say that I am not willing to send you back, and the troops also need to recuperate, and they need to raise enough food to be able to pull out! It will take at least two or three months to delay the return, and let time settle down the opinions and thoughts of Kunur about you and this army! ”

This sentence made Duck and Gakpu nervous at the same time: "For these people, two or three months of support is unbearable for all my Ruoqiang tribes!" ”

"You don't have to bear it. Let's see, the local people of Ruoqiang are tired and need to recuperate. As for my Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment, I need some tall and powerful laborers to build a copper mine - aren't these high-level Kalemak warriors just right? I can pay you three times as much to hire you!" ”

Tribal warriors, except for the Khan's personal guards, usually engage in farming and animal husbandry activities at home to earn a living, and will pick up scimitars and longbows to follow the Khan King in battle, where is there a 'military salary'? During the war, they looted everything they saw along the way, took it back to the clerk appointed by the Khan, kept it for accounting, stored it, or sent a transport team back to their hometown. These belongings will be divided with the Khan King according to a certain proportion after the war. As for military exploits, the Khan re-allocated and distributed them as rewards from his share of wealth. Ganar is the head of a thousand people, he has a salary or reward that is paid separately, and he also knows that his subordinates will not understand the term 'military salary', so he will tell everyone: "This thousand-mile expedition is a big battle with the undead natural disaster. Everyone has made great contributions to the tribe and even to all the people in these three mountains! It's a pity that the skeletons don't have much to lose. Compared with our comrades-in-arms who died in battle and became heroic souls, how lucky are we? After this battle, I don't want to rob any more money to compensate you - it will bring shame on our comrades who died in battle! But I really can't think of any way to make up for the fallen comrades—what should I give to their wives and children? Tell them that your husbands, sons, and fathers have become the heroes who protect this land? We don't have any seizures? I can't! Therefore, my inclination is to promise the baron that the labor of the living will be exchanged for the remuneration to comfort the orphans of his comrades! ”

These words are not routines. The war failed to loot the goods, and the soldiers did not think that the Khan might have come up with additional goods to reward the people who had been born to die. Think of the orphans of those who died in battle, no one has the courage to refuse Viscount Twilight's offer.

The soldier was silent, apparently acquiescing to the captain's proposal.

The viscount stood up: "This battle, of course, is for the thousands of people in this desert, but in the final analysis, everyone was tricked by me to participate in the battle!" The bereavement of the war dead will be borne by my Seven Swords Mercenary Group! Please also ask everyone to stay and help me build a copper mine for the people of Qijian and Ruoqiang, so that I can earn back this large amount of pension as soon as possible! The team that went back to report the news also received the same salary as the brothers who stayed! Seeing that the soldiers were still silent, the viscount was a little anxious: "A group of bastards! Is it more enjoyable to earn gold by sweat than to rob property? Don't you feel ashamed to think of the brothers who died in the battle for this land yesterday? ”

Garner also stood up and patted the viscount on the shoulder: "Don't worry. The brothers are silent, and it is just up to me to take the lead and commit to it. I agreed! ”

The surrounding soldiers were noisy, and Viscount Twilight couldn't hear them clearly, but he was sure that they had agreed to participate in the construction of the copper mine.

A young soldier stood up: "Lord Viscount, I don't quite understand the salary you said just now. Do all soldiers deserve this reward? ”

"It's not a reward, it's a reward!" This is a profession-related cognition - a flash of thought flashed through the viscount's mind: "Like a farmer and a shepherd, a soldier is a profession, and whether he fights or not, he should be paid enough to support his family!" Instead of robbing other people's food and gold by force, as robbers do. Take my Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment as an example, some are miners, some are blacksmiths, some are doctors, leathermen, and some are specialized in combat. Everyone is paid on time so that they can be content with their duties and use their professional abilities to benefit the guild. The duty of the warrior is to ensure that these people who cannot fight can graze, farm, make saddles, and scabbards with peace of mind, and perform their duties as a collective. In this way, everyone's talents can be fully utilized. ”

The soldier asked, "But in that case, if all the people of other tribes can take up swords and spears to attack our tribe, and our tribe only has people who are good at fighting to fight them, will our forces not be enough?" ”

The Q&A is gradually getting on track. The viscount said: "Yourself, just say that you are going to fight with other tribes now, do you think you can deal with a few soldiers who usually only herd horses and sheep?" ”

The soldier's level had reached level fifty-five, and he looked at the mocking eyes of the soldiers around him, blushed and said loudly, "I can now defeat at least five ordinary soldiers of level forty-five!" It doesn't matter if he's a cavalryman or an infantryman! ”

"Then let those four people feed you, a high-ranking soldier! Whether they fight or not, they can concentrate on grazing and farming, and you, as long as you maintain your current combat effectiveness at all times, can get enough pay - isn't that good? In my eyes, a soldier is also a profession! It's a profession that can support a family with dignity! ”

"But aren't you still a blacksmith?"

"Hehe, capable people can naturally learn more skills and get more rewards! I'm also a fire mage and a farmer! But when it comes to fighting, I'm a powerful person who is not even afraid of your thousand-man commanders! ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

A veteran stood up and patted the soldier who had just asked the soldier on the shoulder: "Sir, I understand what you mean." You think that a soldier should be full-time! But how many full-time soldiers can a tribe support? In the event of a real war, will we not have enough troops? ”

"It's the same as yours. Since you can fight five against five or even ten on the battlefield, can others not risk fighting? They can make you better weapons and armor, raise more fast horses, and further improve your combat effectiveness! The result is still good for everyone! And, I haven't said the most important thing yet: women and children, as well as the elderly, can avoid war to the greatest extent. When both sides of the war are professional soldiers, we have a reason to demand that neither side harm the other's civilians – so that even if we lose, our women and children are still safe! ”

Wars on the steppes have always been about the victors getting the losers' property and women. To prevent retaliation, the victor will also kill all the men above the wheels. This is the most painful and despicable place for nomads to fight against agricultural peoples.

The veteran muttered for a while: "As a soldier, I hope to fight like this - even if I die in battle, I can have no worries." But in such a war, if one side does not follow the rules, it will create a very unfair situation for the other side! ”

The Viscount replied, "Rules need to be cultivated by all of us. To put it simply, as long as everyone present swears to Tianshan, the other party will believe everyone's words! Because everyone believes that the mountain god will bear witness to the oath of both sides fairly. ”

Stein's level has been restored to level sixty. The old man listened to these discussions and remembered his hometown: "In my homeland, all battles take place between soldiers. It's not about women, it's not about children! If anyone dares to harm the defenseless children and women of the enemy country, they will be executed on the spot by their own officers! Hehe, I'm not saying that everyone is too barbaric to fight, it has taken us hundreds of years to develop the rules of this kind of warfare! In the past, when we fought wars, we killed all the disobedient men and women, young and old—and then, when our ancestors found this behavior useless, began to change—and now, we believe that man is the most precious asset! ”

A young Kalmak soldier shouted, "Then why do you want us to go to the mines, Viscount? ”

The viscount smiled: "I'm a miner myself!" If I don't need to fight, or I don't want to fight anymore, I can trade my mining skills for a high-paying job. Is there anything wrong with that? Besides, are you sure you can beat a level 60 miner? There are a lot of jobs that are not combat jobs, but it is helpful to improve the ability of combat professions! ”

Garner raised his palm and pressed it down, and all the soldiers closed their mouths: "I decided, just follow the viscount's method." In this way, when we return to Usu, if we are too strong to be treated by the Khan, we can set up a miners' guild to keep our organization and prevent the Khan's oppression. We can also use our production skills to earn an income for our families. Believe me, this is good for all the people of Calmaq. ”
