Chapter 27: Adults Need It Too Often

In the Pander Continent, such a thing as death compensation is a treatment that only a very small number of soldiers can receive.

Usually only knights and knights under the lord's command, or warriors of the lord who have sworn allegiance to him and serve with their own equipment - depending on whether the lord is a generous and kind person.

Klose and the dozen or so Metenheim were bought by Leon, who were originally considered slaves.

While the macho men's pledge of allegiance to Leon to their Iron God seems to be a formalized warrior allegiance process, they are still essentially just Leon's personal minions for now.

After all, none of them belonged to the citizens of the kingdom until Leon's realm was established. With the exception of Klose, an official officer appointed by Leon as the leader of the stormtroopers, the others can only be regarded as a 'property' at the moment.

- In this era, servants are private property, which is the same thing as Alice the Goldmaned Horse...... And most of them are not as valuable as Alice......

It's just that Leon didn't treat them as servants.

And the crossbowmen hired by Leon were just professional mercenaries who took money to do things, and they were not really loyal to him.

Mercenary warfare is a transaction, life and death on the battlefield, and all the consequences should be borne by both sides.

Therefore, whether it is a servant or a mercenary, Leon actually does not need to pay a pension.

Most nobles would not waste their money on these 'outsiders'.

However, as a lord with higher aspirations and a person from the Celestial Empire, Li Ang was naturally different from the Pande nobles.

This wasn't because Leon was so noble that he had detached himself from low tastes, or because he wasn't going to be a paladin with eight virtues.

It's just for morale and safety.

A warrior who has no worries can bring out all his abilities.

And for these mercenaries who are begging for a living on the battlefield, the biggest worry is how their families will live once they die in battle......

This is also the reason why mercenaries often only fight with the wind.

Besides, if Forschel can buy the militia captain in Earl Auden's domain, then others can naturally buy the people in Leon's team......

Leon didn't want to be stabbed in the back.

Although you are poor and deceived everywhere, you must not be stingy when you should spend money.

Besides, isn't it just about to make money......

I just don't know how much loot there is, and Leon has some expectations.

Soon, the loot was counted.

In addition to the captives, the trophies of the battle included a dozen sets of chain mail and burqas of various assortments, a dozen sets of leather armor, and a number of spears and infantry swords.

There are also five horses.

Leon wasn't sure how much the broken iron would sell for, but the five horses alone were worth no less than a thousand dinars.

It's a quick buck......

After half a year of match-fixing business in the arena, it can't cover the benefits of this trip.

Sure enough, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, this kind of 'banditry' business will have to do more in the future......

However, there is still business to be done here, and there is still one business to be done.

Auden's demand was to get rid of the 'bandits' - which was now done.

As for the patrol leader in Fletcher Village who had betrayed Oden, Leon didn't want to pay attention. Cleaning up portals and the like was someone else's chore, and he didn't want to meddle with it.

And who knows what will happen if you clash with the militia of the county...... The old village chief didn't look very bright.

Therefore, it would be more appropriate to take the news of this traitor to Auden for a deal.

But on Ralph's side, the commander of the garrison in Long River, there is still a business to be done.

Build a nomadic camp and wait for Ralph to destroy the Cato cavalry and help Ralph complete the planting, which is his deal with the bearded Ralph.

Although the profit margin of this deal seems to be slightly higher, it is better to do so on the premise that both parties are willing to do so......

Although Li Ang, a service provider, is not very close to the people in terms of price, it will definitely be completed after he promises.

After all, in Leon's view, no matter what era or place, credit should be the foundation of a man's life.

As for the process before negotiating the price......

Cough...... That's just a necessary marketing ploy.

Considering that he was already waiting for Ralph to arrive, Leon decided not to return to Long River Town first, and would stay in this camp for two days.

After all, there were wounded in the ranks, and most of those prisoners were also incapacitated.

He planned to send two uninjured Metenheim macho men back to Long River Town first, and bring some of the loot to the businesswoman Leslie for cash, and by the way, bring a letter to Ralph.

But after thinking about it, he called Sarah over.

"Sarah, you're probably the only one who can fool you but me...... Well, the only one who can guide Ralph properly. You take a few people back to Long River and do another business with Ralph......"

Leon rubbed his chin and carefully considered his words.

"My lord, just knocked ...... Gangjae ...... Ahem...... Just got a lot of building materials and so many carpenters, and you're going to do it to Ralph again? My lord, are your needs too frequent......"

Sarah covered her forehead and carefully considered her words.

She has always been sharp-toothed, but she stammered a little at this time.

Klose, who was next to him, passed by the two of them, probably heard the last sentence, looked at Sarah with a strange expression, and then looked at Leon, and then ran to the camp in a puff of smoke, making a picture of helping Anson deal with the wounded.

But the question is...... This guy doesn't know anything about medical care.

Moreover, from time to time, he secretly looked at Leon and Sarah, who looked quite sneaky.

Leon looked at Sarah with a black line, only to find that Sarah was also looking at him with an embarrassed expression.

The face is still a little red.

Well, this is not a good place to talk about such a secret topic......

So the two left the camp at the same time as they were very acquiescing, and rode around the neighborhood for a slow walk.

"Sarah, as you said before, I won't stay in this place for long, facing the Cato people directly. So, this camp, I'm going to sell it to Ralph. ”

Leon turned his head and pointed to the camp, and then couldn't help but grit his teeth and make a threatening gesture with his fist - Klose and Anson, including a few bandaged men, were hiding by the camp's stables and watching from afar.

But the small pillars of the stables could not hide their sheer size.

Seeing Li Ang swing his fist, these guys scattered in a hurry.

"Leave them alone...... Adult ......"

Sarah shook her head and persuaded that it was just a misunderstanding caused by the misuse of words for a while, and besides, she didn't care at all.

"But, my lord, why did Ralph buy this camp? If you want to convert it into a nomadic camp for the Gatu, as you said, then it should be your job...... After all, the last deal hasn't been completed yet......"

Outreach matters fall within Sarah's normal business as a foreign officer, so she seems to be serious.

"It's a matter of ignoring ...... Oh no, bootstrapping. It is likely that Ralph is a civilian in Long River. I didn't see his banner in the hall of his station—only the double lion shield of Count Auden. ”

Li Ang said firmly.

"Won't you...... My lord, didn't he call himself a knight chief? Such a claim is not just a casual ......"

Sarah disagrees with Leon's judgment.
