Chapter Ninety-Five: Reward
Most barbarians don't have the idea of paying a ransom.
Just like attacking a city in ancient times and robbing it, the creeps at the bottom don't think about things in the long run.
The little soldiers are precarious, their heads are pinned to their belts, and they naturally like to do that kind of cool thing, and more people are willing to take risks.
Not only risk robbery, but also risk against superiors and even assassination!
It's not the first time that Fryce and the others have robbed and have worked with Lawrence before.
Beoff and other young people also knew Lawrence's rules.
Because of these people, Earl Steel's men did not want to lose both, and if they returned, they would definitely have to pass through Lawrence's territory, so they maintained restraint.
The Marquess of York's family survived safely because they were lucky enough to meet Lawrence's men.
The rest of the barbarians in this era would not be so merciful to their captives, and the so-called nobility outside was worthless to the barbarians.
Even if it is a king, after being captured, it is necessary to kill.
Chests of gold, silver, pearls, coral, beautiful gems, armor and weapons were placed on the sand.
Lawrence looked at the objects calmly, and Sarriel wanted to walk over to look at the jewels, but was quickly stopped by Sophia.
Fifteen square meters of sand are piled up with all kinds of glittering treasures.
These are the foundations of the aristocracy!
Lawrence looked at the Marquis of York who was standing aside, and the Marquis of York quickly said, "I am willing to give you all this in exchange for my freedom!" ”
Lawrence said seriously: "These are no longer your things, but the treasures that our warriors have bravely taken back, and your things are only in the places you can control, not in my hands." ”
The Marquis of York was confronted not only by the young-looking Lawrence, but also by the vicious barbarians around him.
Under the powerful momentum of the surrounding barbarians, the Marquis of York could only honestly remain silent.
Lawrence looked at the treasures and asked the crowd, "This time, who broke through the defenses first, and who defeated the most enemies?" ”
Beoff said, "It's Duland. ”
Durand held his head high, his face full of confidence and joy.
Lawrence looked at the rest of the group, and everyone was very unanimous on this kind of thing.
Barbarians respect the strong, especially the fierce ones who really dare to fight and dare to rush on the battlefield.
Lawrence said, "Very well, then you can pick the loot you want, this is the honor you deserve, and it will not affect the Earl of Steer's share." ”
Hearing Lawrence's words, Durand quickly took out a bag of gold coins, a knight's helmet, and a wine glass encrusted with gems from the mountain of treasure.
"Prophet, I want these rewards." Durand placed the chosen reward on the ground and got down on one knee in front of Lawrence.
Lawrence stood up, "Yes, I hereby declare that these are your private property, the reward that God has given you, and no one should take them away unless you exchange them for other wealth." ”
"Stand aside with your pay, it's time for the next Warrior."
"Yes, Prophet." Baron Durand only felt relaxed in his mix, and he had never been so comfortable.
Lawrence was quick to reward Fryce, who was the second person to be recognized by all.
It's not that his strength is inferior to Duland, but the main thing is to obey Lawrence's orders, which causes him to be unable to let go at times and can't fight casually.
"Fryce, you're doing a great job." After Fryce had chosen his treasure, Lawrence said, "I recently killed a Terra Tempest bear, and I will reward you with a bearskin coat made of fur by the time of winter." ”
Fryce looked in shock at the weak-looking young man in front of him.
"Earth Storm? Is it a juvenile? ”
"No, it's a full-grown Earth Storm." Lawrence said calmly: "You and Beoff will both get one, Beoff's father has always been loyal to me, this time Beoff did not become famous because of his young relationship, but I think he deserves these rewards." ”
"Beoff, I will give you food and clothing to serve and clothes that represent honor, and you will not take the reward this time."
Beoff quickly bowed his head, "Yes!" Prophet! ”
Lawrence has his own judgment, and the current Beoff has not yet grown up, nor has he shown great strength and destructive power.
Even now that it is stable, there is still a lot of old-fashioned ideas around the people around them, and there is already a market for power and violence.
Fryce and the others are all real soldiers in their prime, the head of the family, and the leader.
Beoff was too young, much younger than Lawrence, with no strength or intelligence, plus his father had just left.
In fact, his father is much more powerful than him, and now Beoff can't keep so much private property.
For example, the fertile land outside the town of Bhumixiu, everyone knows that it is Lawrence's land, and even if it is full of crisp vegetable turnips, no one dares to dig it secretly.
If it's Beauf or Durella land, then they can't hold it.
Lawrence has no interest in the dazzling things in front of him, but he is the initiator of the operation and the biggest boss after all.
Ninety percent of everything here belongs to Lawrence.
Lawrence only kept half of it, and the rest was given to the warriors this time, in addition to the ones on Steel's side.
"These are the honors you deserve." Lawrence looked at the men who had disembarked from the ship, "I deserve these slaves, and the ships you brought back belong to me." ”
The crowd unanimously said, "Yes!" Prophet! ”
Although the ships were stolen from the Marquis of York, the Earl of Steadhl's men had their share of the reward and the treasure they had brought back to the Earl, so they had no idea about the ships.
Earl Steel's domain was not close to the sea, and there was no port, and the ships could not be brought back if they wanted them.
The biggest gain this time is the population, the population here in the north is sparsely populated, and now there are more than 300 people at a time, as long as they can smoothly integrate here, they can bring a huge boost to the territory.
However, these nobles of the Hokuriku Kingdom are still a bit troublesome, and if they are here, it will be difficult for the newcomers to the Water City to integrate into the city.
Lawrence divided the men and released ten young men and knight guards on the spot, and told them to return to the Hokkiku Kingdom with food and water to report the news.
The remaining Marquess of York and some of the weaker nobles were taken to the town of Bometheus.
When the warriors of the fleet returned to the Colossus, many women with small children came to meet their men.
Fleis's wife and children came over to look at him and hugged him happily.
Beoff's mother also brought Beoff's younger siblings to greet her, and the family laughed and cried with joy.
Durand and Rodney's families also came from the territory and waited for days.
Lawrence smiled, "It's the perfect time to have a celebration, you can stay for the night and then leave." ”
"Yes." Neither Durand nor Rodney have an opinion and don't want to leave today!
The Marquis of York and the others were soon driven to live in a longhouse, and more than thirty people lived in a longhouse.
After quieting down, the Marquise asked, "Were Talal really let go?" ”
The Marquis of York said, "It must be so, as long as they go back quickly, they can save us with the ransom!" ”
"These damn savages, and this filthy place!"
The Marquis of York was frightened and exasperated, cowering in the presence of the savages, and soon became frantic in the presence of his men.
"Those! Lowly serfs, who took my city with barbarians! I'm going to kill them! ”
This time the main force of the attack was the barbarians, especially Lawrence's mercenaries.
But the Marquis of York hated the people of the City of Water.
The men led the barbarians to his manor, told them where he was, and pointed out him who was hiding in the crowd.
"When I go back, I must kill all those untouchables!"
These Western nobles were starved all night, and the barbarians were too busy celebrating to care about them, so they just tied the door and went out to drink wine and eat meat.
Despite the loose and chaotic interior, these weak Western aristocrats were honestly huddled in the room like lambs, just like the people of the Water City who had been captured.
After all, barbarians really kill.
Lawrence starved the men for one night and sent them some pancakes to eat the next morning.
It's a bit far to talk about food promotion in this era, and Lawrence just thinks it's funny, thinking that in this way, they will remember this pancake for the rest of their lives.
In fact, it worked!
I can really remember it for a lifetime!
After being frightened for more than ten days, cold and hungry for many days, eating bread in clear water and eating it coldly and hungry, I was able to eat warm and soft pancakes, and the kind of happiness that came spontaneously was far better than bread a hundred times. (End of chapter)
