Although Baron Harden's title is still relatively low, his strength is very strong, although he retired from the position of corps commander, he is still a heavyweight officer in Northern Xinjiang, responsible for commanding operations in one direction.

It has influence in the capital city of Nolan, and the channels of news are wide.

Baron Harden knew that some of Nolan's magicians had been experimenting with bloodlines with captive orc professionals.

In particular, the Royal Magic Laboratory requires an extremely large number of test subjects, so a living orc professional is worth more than a dead one.

Ordinary orcs can also be used as experimental consumables, and can also be used as slave labor.

"Let the priests accompanying the army, not afraid of consuming mental power, do their best to treat the injured orcs. The Glexen professionals who were captured alive were immediately treated with healing techniques, and sent to Fort Leyte first, and then escorted to Nolan after the war in exchange for meritorious service. ”

"The military judges of all units should seize the time to report their military exploits and reward those who have made meritorious contributions as soon as possible to boost their morale."

Baron Harden knew that the casualties of the Eighth Brigade were already not small, especially the casualties of the main force of the Sixth Squadron in this battle, which had lost its combat effectiveness without reorganization.

Rewarding the merits now can be a good way to stabilize the morale of the army.

Clan statistics are complicated.

Each squadron has a military judge who is responsible for credit.

Specific to the Mad Lion Legion, after the war, the merits of each soldier will be registered, and then made public at the squadron headquarters, and the list of meritorious personnel will also be posted on the wall for everyone to supervise and see if there are any officers who have snatched the merits.

Soldiers are recorded according to the head of the person, one small merit for first-order occupations, two minor merits for second-order occupations, and three third-order occupations.

Kill a fourth-order professional and reward one medium merit, kill a fifth-order professional and reward three intermediate skills, and kill a sixth-order professional and reward one great merit.

Killing a seventh-order professional will reward three great merits, and killing an eighth-order professional will reward five great merits.

Kill a ninth-order professional, reward a miracle once, and be awarded a hereditary baron.

Kill the Legendary Profession and become a hereditary count.

When it comes to the hereditary earl class, it is already at the top of the pyramid of the Grant Kingdom. The entire Grant Kingdom, with a land area of two million square kilometers, adds up to seven dukes, four marquises, and eight counts.

Counting the royal family, the ruling class has only twenty hereditary families.

In the past hundred years, due to the lack of territory expansion and commendable victories, no low-ranking nobleman in the kingdom has been promoted to hereditary earl.

In the thousands of years that the Dawn Continent has recorded history, no ordinary soldier has killed a legendary professional and been awarded the title of hereditary earl.

Soldiers who can kill legends in war are basically either legends or high-level professionals. Such a person must be a high-ranking person in the army.

The northern orcs invade the south every three or five years, and in the last hundred years in the Grant Kingdom, no legendary professional has been killed in battle.

Trying to kill a legendary professional in the middle of a war is extremely difficult. Unless there is accurate information and an ambush can be set up in advance, it is possible to succeed.

In addition to the merit of the head, when the army wins a battle, the superiors will also ask for merit for the officers who have made outstanding contributions.

For example, this time in the defensive operation of Castle No. 3, the brigade applied for medium merit for the three professional officers who survived.

According to the results of this battle, it is not difficult to approve it.

The military judge will also count the amount of military merit obtained by cooperating to kill the enemy, divide the proportion into a part of the gold coin, and reward the person who contributed less.

Use the magic crossbow to kill the professional, and the soldier who wields the magic crossbow can share one-tenth of the military merit.

The special equipment of each squadron, the Burst Arrow, also needs to be exchanged for the squadron's collective military merits.

There are perennial wars in the northern region, and humans and orcs compete for the right to live.

If humans are defeated, their parents, wives and children will become slaves, and even become food for orcs.

Many brutal orcs have the habit of cannibalism.

In such an environment, it is necessary to have a strong corps stationed in the northern Xinjiang region.

Years of fighting have slowed down the corruption of the armies in the north.

Most of the hereditary nobles whose fiefs were in the north were strong and brave, and they had a lot of experience in warfare.

If one generation of heirs is not good, it is difficult to inherit the title.

Especially in the first-line area, the hereditary nobles who are facing the attack of the orcs are almost all the first generation of military nobles, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong.

With military merits, the influence of the northern nobles has become very great, and many branches of the northern nobles are also developing to other regions, and the voices of the northern nobles in the noble council are also the largest, almost echoing.

The most important thing to build a strong army is to reward and punish fairly. The three main armies in the north can maintain a rough fairness when rewarding merits.

The casualties of the 6th Squadron in this battle were not small, and it can be called an outstanding battle. In the defense of the city, the 6th Squadron suffered more than half of the casualties and did not break up. The castle was held and the foundation was laid for the victory of the battle.

If the 6th Squadron breaks down, let the Orcs occupy the castle. The Baron's cavalry regiment lost its sorties, and the first line of defense of Platos lost its support point.

The 6th Squadron was the first to be called the first in this battle.

Moreover, the sixth squadron killed and injured more than 100 orcs and six professionals, and the exchange ratio between friend and foe was also very good. This kind of real credit is generally approved by the Legion Department.

Sure enough, only a few days after the merit report was sent, the corps headquarters approved it.

Diarra, Richard received one Medium Merit, and Judge Owen received three Minor Merit. In addition, the 6th Squadron won a collective merit, and the collective merit can be exchanged for enchanted weapons at the Legion Headquarters.

After consulting with Diarra, Richard decided to use them to replenish the three Burst Arrows.

There are only three sharpshooters in the squadron, and this kind of archer basic archery skills are already fourth-order, which is enough to be compared to Richard. Fortunately, this kind of sharpshooter was protected by everyone and did not die, otherwise it would have been very difficult to replenish the sharpshooter.

When the basic archery has reached the fourth level, it can already be called a talent, and it is very troublesome to transfer people from any squadron.

Replenishing a Burst Arrow costs a small amount of work. The remaining seven small skills of the squadron, after Richard and Diarra discussed, were ready to exchange for a few low-level enchanted armors for the valued junior officers to wear.

In this battle, the casualties of the squad leader were inevitably too great. More than half of the wounded were killed, and it can be said that there is no one available.

Even Richard's eldest brother, Ron, suffered minor injuries, with bruises on his chest and two broken ribs.

The third brother, Hayden, was very lucky and survived the battle unscathed.

In addition to his commanding exploits, Richard also had exploits in killing the enemy. During the battle, Richard shot a first-order kobold with an arrow, cooperated with more than a dozen comrades to kill a third-order snake, and also shot several orc miscellaneous soldiers.

Miscellaneous soldiers are not considered meritorious, killing a first-order kobold is a small merit, and killing a third-order snake body is three small merits.

In the battle to kill the Serpents, Judge Owen confirmed that Richard had contributed the most.

Moses, the leader of the second squad, contributed second, but unfortunately Moses had already died at the head of the city. The remaining dozen or so soldiers played an auxiliary role, and did not effectively kill the snakes, but only participated in the battle to kill the snakes, which was a bit of a trivial achievement.

In the end, Owen consulted with the soldiers and decided to let Richard get the battle merits, and then give each of the dozen soldiers three gold coins. In addition, he needed to give thirty gold coins to the family of the deceased Moses.

Counting the thirty gold coins pension issued by the legion. Sixty gold coins, if not squandered, would have been enough for Moses' family to live for many years.

After this battle, Richard got one medium skill and four minor skills, counting the three small skills he had accumulated. He already has one medium merit and seven minor merits under his name.

Although Ron and Hayden participated in the battle, they did not achieve anything.

If the two of them are lucky enough to survive this war, they should be able to get a commemorative medal for the defense of Pratos. Obtaining a medal is the accumulation of qualifications, and when you are promoted in the future, the medal merit is the greatest capital.

Ron's student-level breathing method has been completed, and he can start cultivating the profession-level breathing method. It's a pity that he has no military merits, and the legion stipulates that personal combat merits cannot be traded. In order to exchange for the Legion's breathing method, it is necessary to have Ron kill the orc profession and make a meritorious record.

Ron had already suffered minor injuries and would have struggled to make a mark in the ensuing battle. This matter still needs to be done by Richard.
