After the condolences, Roland left the field hospital accompanied by Lyudmila. When the www.biquge.info came, the pastors were in a hurry to work, and most of them ignored him, but when they went, they took the initiative to salute and say hello, and their eyes showed respect from the heart.

Lyudmila noticed this subtle change and couldn't help but smack him on the elbow, "You've already left the hospital, what are you pretending to be deep!" ”

Roland was slightly stunned, then smiled dumbly, his expression relaxed slightly, "I didn't pretend, I was just thinking about things." ”

"What do you think?"

"Think about how much grain we can seize after this battle."

"I just went to the quartermaster's place, and I have captured a lot of food, I estimate that it will be enough for us to last at least a month longer, and your poisonous plan to feed the war with war is quite clever." Lyudmila's mocking tone could not hide her admiration.

"Getting these supplies can be regarded as solving our urgent needs, and the future will be better." Roland suddenly changed his words, "By the way, are there diamonds in the loot?" ”

"Diamonds? What do you mean by diamond? "Lyudmila is a little out of his train of thought.

Roland smiled calmly and replied softly, "I like diamonds." ”

The giant girl frowned slightly, and admonished solemnly: "I don't like your frivolous attitude, luxury is the cause of corruption and depravity, you have to be vigilant." ”

Roland couldn't help but laugh: "The ranger's way of thinking is interesting, but you are too worried, I didn't mean that. ”

Lyudmila said: "We won the battle, but we also sacrificed many brothers, you can't wait to inquire about the loot and jewelry, what does it mean?" ”

"Look at your temper, it's no cure." Roland sighed and asked in a more serious tone, "Do you know what it costs to save a war dead?" ”

Lyudmila was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Please ask the priest to cast a spell, otherwise what else can you ......do?"

"Have you seen the dead rise with your own eyes?"

"I didn't ......" Lyudmila lowered her head and whispered in defense: "Only the high priest has the opportunity to come into contact with the resurrection technique, and there are only a handful of priests in our corps, including Mr. Boris, who can use this magic. ”

"That's all?"

"What's the price, you just say it, don't always hang people's appetites, you know I'm in a hurry and still like this, it's really bad!" The eldest girl was annoyed and angry, and gave him a strange look.

Roland scratched his hair and said with a wry smile: "The priest needs special spell materials to cast the resurrection magic spell. ”

"What material?"

"Diamonds, diamonds worth 5,000 gold coins, can only be more, not less."

Lyudmila was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time before she let out a groan: "Oh my God, I have never seen such an expensive diamond in my life. "In fact...... This poor country girl has never even seen what a diamond looks like!

"Diamonds, diamonds, not only have a beautiful luster, not just expensive decoration, it also symbolizes the life of the school of spells, the eternity of the school of protection, it is the emblem of confusion and necromancy, and it is also the sacrifice of the divine power to bring the dead back to life, this is the diamond." Roland's soothing tone seemed to be chanting a psalm, "Whether you are obsessed with arcane arts or believe in divine magic, when you use spells to create miracles, you will always need some materials, some materials are cheap and worthless, and some are very expensive, such as various gems, diamonds are precisely one of the most expensive spell materials, and resurrecting the dead is also one of the most expensive spells." ”

Lyudmila followed him and said abruptly, "So you want to inquire how much loot we have captured this time, because the resurrection of the dead in the war not only requires the priest to cast spells, but also many, many diamonds?" ”

Roland nodded slightly: "Even if the priest serves for free, it will take at least 5,000 gold coins to save a life, and this is the crux of the matter." ”

Can human life be measured in money? Roland thought he couldn't before he crossed over, because there was no magic to bring the dead back to life in that world, but now his mind had changed.

It is self-evident how much 5,000 gold is an expense, and there is no need to say how difficult the financial situation of the Koras Army is.

Roland didn't continue, Lyudmila wasn't stupid, she should know how to understand, so a heartbreaking gloom appeared in her eyes.

"Roland, is there no way? Can't think of a way? Her voice was choked, and Roland couldn't help but feel sour when he heard it in his ears.

He smiled and whispered, "There will be a way, we will always think of a way to make money, right?" ”

"How to make money? Our military budget is already very tight, and fighting a war itself is a very money-burning thing, and the most we can do is not starve to death by fighting to feed the war, where is the money left to buy diamonds...... "Lyudmila grew up in a hotel and helped her mother with her business, and she knew that every copper plate would not fall from the sky.

"Yes, we can't rob the people like the orcs, and we can't accumulate wealth by fighting war, so we should rob the richer."

"Richer people? If you think clearly, this is the Far East, not the inland, there are only collective farms and hard-working peasants, and there are not many local tyrants to kidnap, and even if there are, they are closely related to the big men of the Fort of Atonement, how can you be allowed to come here. Lyudmila warned solemnly.

Roland shook his head and smiled; "Of course I won't fight the calculations of the poor, and it is not yet the time to loot the local tyrants and landlords, in fact, there are also rich guys in the Far East, such as giant dragons."

"What a joke! How can we have the strength to slay dragons! Lyudmila was amused by him, "Whimsical fool, are you not dreaming!" ”

"Can't you have dreams without strength?" Roland looked up at the fiery red morning light in the distance, his eyes burning and determined: "If one day I go on a treasure hunt somewhere, Mira, would you like to go on an adventure with me?" ”

"Of course!" The girl's promise is unequivocal.

"Are you going to slay the dragon too?"

"I'll go if you go!"

"Good, now there are two whimsical fools here." Roland shrugged self-deprecatingly.

Lyudmila gave him a blank look and said softly: "You are just a rookie who has just joined the army, you can't worry about these things, beware of overthinking and long wrinkles." ”

Roland smiled gratefully at the comfort of her words, pulled his right hand out of the bloodstained iron glove, and grasped the giant girl's warm and soft jade hand.

"Do you have any good suggestions for me to relax?"

Lyudmila bit her lip and thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked him excitedly: "Have you ever calculated how many merits you have earned in total after fighting this battle?" ”

Roland smiled slightly, guessing what her idea was.

From the first day of its establishment, the Kolas Army established strict military discipline, the most important of which was the system of accumulating meritorious service.

After each battle, Rudolph would always arrange for the gendarmes to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield and counting the merits.

The promotion of military ranks, the distribution of trophies, is almost entirely determined by merit points.

Specifically, in this attack on the orcs, the merit was calculated according to the number of orcs killed by each person's own hands, and the merit obtained from teamwork was evenly divided.

Different levels of orcs have different scores.

Ordinary orcs count 1 merit, squad leader level counts 5 merit, squadron leader rank counts 10 merit, group leader level counts 30 merit, and warband leader and priest count 100 merit each.

Roland and Lyudmila teamed up to kill the orc shaman, which was their biggest merit income, followed by Roland's 30 merit points for killing the orc captain with one shot.

The military judge came down with the gendarmerie to count the merits of each person, and it was strict to the point of being strict.

After killing an orc, the warriors of the Korath Army used to cut off an ear as evidence of their exploits, but this was not enough, as the military judge would carefully examine each orc's corpse and ask the slayer to recall the battle and confirm that it was correct, so as not to claim the merits.

This procedure cannot be too strict, after all, merit is directly linked to the soldier's bonus, and a little merit can be exchanged for a shiny Imperial gold coin at the quartermaster office at any time.

One gold coin can be exchanged for 10 silver coins or 100 copper coins. According to the current prices in the Far East, the purchasing power of a copper coin is equivalent to a pound of wheat, a silver coin can buy a pound of iron, and a gold coin can be exchanged for a goat.

Most of the Far Eastern militia came from exile families and lived in poverty, for whom a gold coin was a great fortune.

After the merit distribution was completed, it was almost dusk.

While waiting for dinner, Rudolph and Boris walked to the center of the camp, followed by four mighty guards who pushed two flatbed carts full of booty.

Rudolph announced the official opening of the celebration, and the camp burst into cheers.

First of all, the old rule, Rudolph set aside a part of the cash and distributed the pension according to the list of sacrifices. Then he led everyone to pay a silent tribute to the fallen comrades, and the camp fell silent......

Roland also bowed his head solemnly and paid silent tribute, but he couldn't help but have some vulgar thoughts in his mind......

After the silence ended, Roland turned back to Lyudmila and snapped his fingers, "Get me a copy of the Treatment Manual." ”

A few minutes later, Roland got the document he wanted, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly as he flipped through it.

As he predicted, there is a clear set of rules for "resurrection priority", with rank and class level being the two most important parameters. This may not be fair enough for recruits, but ignoring the above factors will only cause greater injustice, as long as the resurrection magic is still a scarce resource, it is impossible to truly treat everyone equally, and Roland can't think of a better system suggestion on this issue for the time being, after all, productivity determines production relations, and it is easy to get caught if you take too big a step.

The silence is just an interlude, and the celebration is the theme of the night. When the sun sets, campfires are lit on the riverside, not only wine, meat, singing and dancing, but also Lyudmila's most anticipated event, the Position Auction.

Elaborate armor and weapons, fascinating gems, magnificent works of art, and even magical equipment captured in battle will be auctioned off here.
