"Are the fighters alright?"

Looking at Gretel and Cotton beside him, Yadimu asked.

Gretel and Cotton, these two are among the two small bosses under him.

There is already a clear division of labor within the current Shaman Gang.

Cello was in charge of the handover, as well as serving as Adimu's advisor, analyzing local intelligence for him to give advice and help manage the day-to-day affairs of the Shamans.

Gretel and Cotton, one from the security team and the other from an officer, are currently responsible for the training of soldiers in peacetime, as well as leading soldiers out on missions.

As for Artimus himself, as the supreme leader, he is responsible for managing internal affairs, as well as the management and disposal of many properties, and these powers are also in the hands of Artimus.

Underneath the three Gretels, there are many squad leaders.

These squad leaders usually lead their team members in training, and they are only responsible for Yadimu.

The overall structure is clear at a glance and quite concise.

Therefore, at this moment, Artimu deliberately left the two Gretel.

After a few days of inventory, the previous situation was almost cleared up.

"Six people died and thirteen were seriously wounded."

Gretel was the first to report: "Five of them did not return after the battle, and may have fled. ”

Oh, and there are deserters.

Neither Cotton nor Yadimu was surprised by this.

Being a deserter on the battlefield is a normal thing.

Moreover, in the previous battles, they had caught so many things, it was estimated that they would be able to fill their stomachs in one time.

According to the regulations, everything that was seized before had to be handed over before it could fall into their own hands.

Those who became deserters may have taken too many things in private, and they were reluctant to hand them in, so they ran away.

"I've already sent someone to deal with it, and I believe there will be a result soon."

Cotton added from the side.

There is a result, but only a result.

With the efficiency and means of this era, it is quite difficult to get everyone back.

After all, there is no monitoring and no communication, even if you want to find someone, it is not so simple.

It's pretty good to be able to get most of them back.

But Artimus didn't care about that.

"Nearly a tenth of the casualties."

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he listened to the numbers reported by the two of Gretel.

In a single raid, nearly a tenth of his hard-trained soldiers were lost.

In order to raid the Brotherhood, he mobilized a total of nearly 200 people this time, and put them in batches, and the result was that the number of dead and seriously injured in the battle was close to twenty, which is almost a tenth of the probability.

This still doesn't include minor injuries and deserters, otherwise the loss rate would be even higher.

It can only be said that there is still something in the fraternity.

After all, it's also a gang force, although most of them are rabble, but there are always some hard stubble.

Of course, such a large loss will also have something to do with the lack of time for soldiers to train.

After all, it has only been two or three months since these people trained.

It's good to have that level.

"Remember to train more later."

Yadimu looked at Gretel: "Those who died in battle, according to the previous agreement, will give the bounty directly, and directly hand over the bounty to their parents and children." ”

"Serious injuries depend on the situation, if you are disabled and cannot take care of yourself afterwards, the bounty will be calculated directly according to the degree of battle death, and the rest of the serious injuries will be halved."

"If you have minor injuries, you will be given five more silver coins per person."

"I made a note of it."

Glitter pondered for a moment, then quickly nodded, his face looking rather serious.

At the same time, in his heart, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bounties for the dead and wounded, this was agreed before departure.

Yadimu was afraid that others would not understand, so he specially sent Luo Ken and several people to report and pass the word one by one.

However, although the words were said in advance, Grett was really afraid that Artimus would not be willing to accept this reward and swallow the bounty that had been promised a long time ago.

That's so sad.

Thankfully, Artimu didn't do that after all.

After all, this is the money that others have worked hard for, if you even swallow this money, who will be willing to work for you in the future?

Gretel and the others are still standing here, what will they think when they see this scene?

These are all things to consider.

Not only did Yadimu not deduct the pensions of those people, but also greatly increased the original value.

After all, I made money this time.

The looting of the Brotherhood quarters alone is a lot of money.

Not to mention the materials found before, which can be equipped with weapons and armor for more than six hundred people.

With such a big gain, what's wrong with adding a little bit to the pension?

No problem at all.

"Oh yes."

Standing and standing, Artimu suddenly realized something again, so he continued to look at Gretel: "Those members who died in battle, give their children a place to join the Shaman Gang, regardless of gender, as long as they are adults, they can meet the requirements. ”

"After that, these people will be handed over to me, and I will arrange them uniformly."

That's what happens after the fall.

Again, it is an example for others who are still alive.

Look at how generous Yadimu is, after death, not only will he give a large amount of bereavement, but even the work of his children will be arranged.

Today's Shaman Gang is not what it used to be.

Because of the favorable conditions and relatively good economic situation, it is quite difficult to join the Shaman Gang now.

At least it's a lot harder than it used to be.

It's hard to find a job these days, because of the famine for many years, job opportunities near Lima City are quite scarce, and it is already quite good to have a job with no food and no shelter and a monthly salary.

If Artimus let this condition out, some people will be willing to come and do it.

This is also a benefit given by Artimu.

For him, there was really nothing to lose.

After all, with the expansion of the Shaman Gang's business, it was supposed to continue to recruit people from outside.

Instead of recruiting those who don't know the details outside, it is better to directly recruit the families of these fallen people.

It can also save a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, listening to Yadimu's words, Gretel and Cotton suddenly looked in admiration.

They were about to say something, but then they were stopped by Adimu's words.

"By the way, explain it to them."

Yadimu pondered for a moment, and then spoke again: "All the families of the fallen are all civilian after joining the Shaman Gang, and although they need to train in the future, they don't need to fight again. ”

And this benefit?

Gretel and the others were stunned for a moment.

What Adimu means by this is that in the future, as long as they die for the Shaman Gang, their children will no longer need to fight like their parents after joining the Shaman Gang, and they can directly be transferred to civilian jobs.

In other words, you don't have to work hard with people, as long as you work honestly, you can get money?

That's another good thing.

"Yes."

Gretel smiled, "I'm going to take the news out." ”

"Go ahead."

Artimus nodded, motioning for him to leave.

"Go down too."

He then looked at Cotton to the side, looked at him and motioned, "You have a lot of things to do, right?" ”

"Yes."

Cotton nodded hurriedly: "I'll leave now." ”

"Okay."

Artimu nodded, and then, as if remembering something, suddenly said, "Don't forget to take your share of the bounty." ”

Cotton was stunned, and then his face suddenly showed emotion.

Slaves are not worthy of personal property.

What Artimus meant by this was to recognize Cotton's status as an independent man and directly abolish his slave status.

This is obviously their performance during this time, and they have succeeded in satisfying Yadimu in exchange for the reward.

From then on, Cotton and his veterans were no longer slaves, but free men.

Sure enough, after Cotton left, he received the contract he had received when Artimus bought them.

In their presence, Artimus burned the contracts.

Since then, at least legally, Cotton and others have ceased to be his slaves.

"Your kindness, sir, is impressive."

Cotton and the others were moved: "From now on, we will definitely work hard for you to repay your gift." ”

And the high salary.

Facing the grateful eyes of Cotton and the others, Yadimu silently complained in his heart.

In order to keep the Cottons, he not only burned their contracts, but also gave them a pretty good salary.

Including Cotton, the treatment of these veterans is on par with the squad leader, which is quite good in Lima City.

The main purpose of this salary is to satisfy them and at the same time allow them to live well in the local area.

Otherwise, if they are not satisfied, God knows if they will sneak away after that.

Don't say anything impossible.

This is quite possibly something that will happen.

Slaves are things that are likely to run away.

After all, slaves have hands and feet.

In order to meet the requirements of their masters, many slaves even need to work outside the home for a long time.

In this environment, it was easy for these slaves to escape.

If they are not treated as normal people, then it is only a matter of time before they escape.

After all, no one wants to be a normal person and have to be a slave to abuse themselves.

As long as he is a normal person, it is normal to run away.

It was because he knew this that he took the initiative to release them and make them normal people.

In this way, the original master-servant relationship has become an employment relationship.

It's also a lot easier to handle.

If you use it, you can naturally rest assured.

After taking care of Cotton and the others, Artimu then stepped aside.

At the moment, he has something new to do.

Fast forward to a few days later.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove down the roads of the city of Lima until it reached an estate.

In the manor, a middle-aged man was standing there, smiling and stepping forward to greet him.

"Welcome, Mr. Artimu."

Looking at Yadimu who stepped out of the carriage, a warm smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

The man was none other than the lord of the city of Lima.

As the lord of Lima City, he looked quite young, probably in his early thirties.

At this age, it is quite young for the lord of a city.

"Hello, honorable Mr. Klai."

Yadimu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a polite smile on his face.

In his sight, the lord of Lima City looked young and polite.

Unlike the traditional magnates, the lord of Lima City did not look very imposing.

On the contrary, he seems to be quite approachable, giving the impression of a gentle and polite scholar.

And coincidentally, Artimu also looks like this kind of person on the surface.

The two stand together, giving people a lot of the same kind of people.

They are also quite gentle, with etiquette in their every move.

"You're younger than I ever imagined."

Looking at Yadimu in front of him, Kelai sighed and said with some amazement: "Before I met you, I didn't expect that the leader of the Shaman Gang would be a young man like you. ”

"I should be surprised."

Yadimu kept a smile on his face: "If before today, someone told me that the lord of Lima City was a charming person like you, sir, then I would not believe it. ”

"Haha, is this a deliberate compliment?"

Kelai said with a smile.

"The compliment may be true, but it's not deliberate."

Yadimu smiled and said, "On the contrary, it is completely what I really think in my heart. ”

"It's interesting."

The compliment to Adimu seemed to be quite useful.

So he smiled, then stepped aside and made an inviting gesture to Artimus: "Please come with me." ”

"I have prepared a sumptuous feast for the feast of your honored guest."

"I hope I can be satisfied."

He held out his hand and motioned for Artimus to follow him.

The two of them marched together and soon came to the hall.

Overall, the residence of the lord of the city was not very luxurious, and the place looked very ordinary, with nothing too special.

This also seems to reflect the situation of the city lord of Kelai, who can only act as a mascot and is ignored by all parties.

At the feast, Krai and Atim sat opposite each other, and there they drank from each other.

"Does this wine sound familiar?"

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Kelai smiled and looked at the Adim in front of him: "This is the wine from your winery. ”

"The taste of this wine is a little different from that of ordinary wines."

He looked at Artimu and tentatively asked, "Can I ask why?" ”

"There's a special process in it."

Yadimu smiled: "This is someone else's trade secret, and I also got it from someone else, please forgive me for inconvenience in divulging it." ”

"If it's inconvenient, forget it."

The expression on Kelai's face remained unchanged, but he put down the wine glass with some regret and continued to look at Yadimu in front of him: "I heard that Mr. Yadimu is from a noble family, I don't know if this is true?" ”

The main topic is coming!

Yadimu suddenly came to his senses.
