"I'm sure you already know that on the day of the harvest festival, thousands of vicious pirates came to the Stormwind Territory to loot my territory, your food and property!"

"And the pirates are not only numerous, but also the pirate leader with ten knights!"

Gervais stood on the high platform, without a warm smile, only the majesty of the lord.

"There were thousands of them! It's horrible! Luckily, we went to the edge of the territory that day. ”

"And the Title Knight! That's someone as powerful as the lord! ”

"Shhhh How dare you compare the lord with the pirate leader! ”

After saying two sentences, Gervais deliberately paused, just ready to make these serfs sigh and communicate.

The serfs had only heard of pirates attacking the Stormlords, but most of them didn't know the number and strength of the pirates, and now they were surprised to hear Gervais's description.

"But the Storm Leader has brave guards, heroes who sacrifice fearlessly, no matter how strong the pirates are, the guards fought bloody battles with the pirates under my leadership, and we eliminated more than 900 pirates with more than 100 people, and captured more than 70 people!"

Gervais stopped talking again, and the serfs below heard this, and they also cooperated and began to chant below.

"Your Lord, mighty!"

"Your Lord, mighty!"

This is the tacit cooperation between the noble lord and the serfs, although Gervais doesn't know if these serfs are sincerely cheering, but he does enjoy this moment a little.

"However, while we have won a great victory against the most vicious pirates, wiping out all the pirates who dared to raid the Stormwind Lord, we also paid the lives of four brave soldiers."

"I am calling you here today to reward these brave soldiers in front of you."

"I want to tell them, and I want to tell you! They fought for me and died for me. I will not forget them, I will remember their loyalty and bravery, and I will erect a stone monument for them in the town square, on which their names will be inscribed. ”

"Moreover, their wives and children, parents and I will give them the best life, so that the sacrificed soldiers can return to the arms of the gods with peace of mind!"

"Thomas, please bring over the families of the fallen soldiers, and I will present the honor to them in front of everyone today!"

"Yes, sir!"

As Gervais's words fell, soon Thomas came to the front of the high platform with more than a dozen men, women and children.

And Gervais immediately stepped down from the high platform and came to them.

"Your Lord!"

"Your Lord!"

"I'm sorry I couldn't give Barney and Raj back! As their allegiance to the monarch, I am ashamed of this! ”

In the face of more than a dozen men, women and children, and the families of the two dead soldiers, Gervais also said sorry to them with a touch of sadness and sincerity.

Although there was an element of camouflage in Gervais's expression on the high platform, at this moment, in the face of these dead family members, Gervais was sincere.

Barney and Raj, the two guards Gervais have also met a few times, but in addition to their greetings to themselves, Gervais has not talked to them privately, but these two people died for themselves, they are also old and young, Gervais is not happy for a while, he can't be like other nobles, the serf is really regarded as a mustard.

"Lord Lord, it was you who gave him the opportunity to become a guard, bringing a prosperous life to our family, (Barney, Raj) can serve you, even if you die in battle, it is honorable!"

Although several family members are also grieving, in this world, death is common, starvation, freezing to death, and death from illness are available anytime and anywhere, so their grief is also more than resignation.

"Rest assured, even though Barney and Raj are sacrificed! But I will guarantee you for the rest of your life! ”

Gervais comforted a few people again, and then returned to the high platform!

"Storm Lord's Decree: All soldiers who die in battle will receive a pension of 30 silver coins! His family is exempt from taxes for three years! ”

After returning to the high platform, Gervais spoke out loudly in favor of the fallen soldiers.

Wow!

In an instant, everyone in the audience exploded, whether it was a serf or a guard on duty, their eyes were moved when they looked at Gervais, they didn't expect the lord to give such a high pension!

"30 silver coins! That's enough to sell a dozen boars! ”

"Yes! That's enough for our family for years! ”

"And you can avoid taxes for three years!"

The serfs were all talking to each other, and although they did not know how much the other nobles paid for the fallen soldiers, 30 silver coins was really a lot of money for them.

Compared with the serfs, the guards knew a lot, and many of the guards also went to the construction site outside the town to be on duty these days, curiously asking about the situation of those slaves in all aspects.

So they knew that an adult male slave was about 18 silver coins at most, which meant that the pension given by Gervais could buy two adult slaves.

Moreover, Gervais also gave a three-year tax exemption policy, at this moment, these guards were really moved, and they really felt Gervais's compassion for them.

Since becoming a guard, although the guards have also enjoyed a generous treatment, but they also don't put their heads on the waistband to live, family is their biggest worries, today, everything Gervais has done to really solve their worries, these guards can fight in the future can be truly fearless.

"Thank you, Lord Lord!"

"Thank you, Lord Lord!"

Under the high stage, the families of Barney and Raj were also stunned for a moment when they heard the amount of the bereavement paid by Gervais, and when they reacted, they all knelt on the ground to hide their faces and cry bitterly.

The family thought that after losing their family's biggest source of income, the family would fall back into embarrassment, but when they heard about the 30 silver coins and the three-year tax-free pension, their fears instantly vanished.

At this moment, they really felt that their son (husband) was worthy of dying for the lord, it was glorious!

"Hurry up!"

"Thomas, give them the silver coins of the pension, and tell all the guards that if anyone dares to attack their idea of the pension, hang them directly!"

"Yes, sir!"

Thomas had already stood aside with two manservants with trays, on which were neatly placed 30 silver coins, plus a tax-free note signed and stamped by Gervais himself.

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!"

When the family members got up, two male servants quickly stepped forward and handed the silver coin tray to them in front of everyone.

The serfs nearby couldn't stop envy and longing in their eyes when they saw the large pile of silver coins, but no one thought of anything else when they remembered Gervais's warning just now.

The pension of 30 silver coins is indeed very high in this world! Gervais had already learned from Gandalf that Gandalf's pension for ordinary soldiers was generally about 20 silver coins, although it was 10 silver coins worse than Gervais, but it was also kind and sympathetic to the lords of his subordinates, and some nobles who picked the door generally paid about 10 silver coins for the guards.

The family members were taken out of the square by Thomas, and the guards drove them home in a carriage.

Gervais then announced the rewards for the other soldiers.

Severely wounded soldiers were rewarded with 8 silver coins each, and if they were later disabled and unable to do heavy physical work or continue to be a guard, Gervais would add 7 silver coins, and priority would be given to the easy guys in the realm.

Soldiers who are lightly wounded and participate in head-on combat are rewarded with 3 credits.

Finally, the three soldiers who did not participate in the battle and stayed behind in the castle and Alec, Gervais was not stingy and rewarded them with 50 copper plates!

When Gervais finished announcing the reward, all the serfs once again showed envious eyes, and the guards were also overjoyed.

Gervais's reward this time, except for the slave soldiers, almost all of his subordinates were rewarded once, even those soldiers who were wounded in Rose Castle, after all, they were also injured in the battle, and Gervais simply took advantage of the fact that today they distributed the reward together.

Actually, Gervais has another person to focus on, that is, Bernard, but for the sake of secrecy, of course, Gervais can't reward Bernard explicitly, and Gervais is ready to wait for Thomas to send 1 gold coin and two catties of Warcraft to the past.

The reason why this battle was won was that there were so few casualties, and Bernard also played a big role!
