Cross's remarks actually made Gawain cry.

Just the day before, Gawain had admonished Cross, telling him to be a selfish person and not to be a fool who sacrificed his own interests for the sake of others.

But just last night, Gawain became what he called a fool.

However, Gawain himself knew very well that he did think about joining the ranks of traitors yesterday in order to save his life, but fortunately, he did not do so in the end. With the commendation and encouragement from Clos, he felt that everything last night was worth it.

Gawain clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that from now on, he would lead by example and be a true baron.

In addition to Gawain, Roman also secretly vowed to contribute to Cross forever.

Last night's Roman not only did not act heroically, but he was also a guide to the enemy, and it was good that Roman was not punished, but Cross gave her the knighthood.

Cross did this with two main reasons.

First, the profession of healer is quite rare, but it is very useful in times of war, and Cross is now short of talent, not only will he not execute Roman, but he will protect Roman.

To downplay Roman's crime last night and make up that her heroic act is her protection.

Second, Cross understands Roman's psychology. Roman received a reward without actual merit, which was a great gift for Roman.

According to Roman's character, she will be completely loyal to Cross and will continue to contribute to repay Cross's gifts. That's what Cross wants to see.

Of course, the most important purpose of Cross's words is to let everyone in Copper Mountain Town know one thing, that is, within the territory of Cross, merit will be rewarded, and crime will be punished.

Cross believes that such a move will stimulate the desires of the people, which will have positive implications for both the people themselves and Cross.

Therefore, in addition to being happy for Gao Wen and the others, everyone present had a kind of excitement one by one.

They all hope to one day contribute to Cross and then get a knighthood.

In fact, in the eyes of these pure civilians, Gawain has gained not only power and status, but also glory today.

For these ordinary civilians, what they want may be nothing more than vanity, they just want to be respected and loved, and Cross's reward and punishment system can meet their requirements in this regard.

However, the current Cross is not able to understand the need for vanity among these people.

Close's proposed system this time also had a big impact on Wendy's concept.

Wendy has lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and although she is not proficient in the system of the Kersman Empire, she has the most basic understanding, and what Cross has just formulated does have a great conflict with the system of the empire.

The first is gender.

In the Empire, only men can be knighted. But Cross has brought women to the stage, which reflects Close's extraordinary strength and ambition.

Secondly, there is race.

In the Quesman Empire, it was impossible for a race other than humans to obtain a knighthood, and Cross broke this iron rule.

And then there's the profession.

The people who can get the title in the Quesman Empire are all people with military merits, but Cross ignores the limitations of the profession, and any profession that can contribute will have the opportunity to be rewarded. This can obviously also boost the enthusiasm of everyone.

Finally, there is the past.

What Cross said is easy to understand in the past. In other words, whether you were a slave or an enemy in the past, as long as you are a vassal of Cross now, as long as you have made a contribution, you are also eligible for a reward.

This is also obviously where it conflicts with the imperial system. In the Empire, a slave could never be knighted.

The system promulgated by Cross breaks with tradition, and Wendy also spies on Close's huge ambitions from this system. She even believes that Cross's ultimate goal is not just the Klein Domain, but the entire Kersman Empire, and perhaps ......

Although Wendy didn't dare to speculate, she always felt that as long as Cross was willing, this continent, and even the whole world, would be Cross's.

Of course, in addition to Wendy, Britney from Sunset City and Charlie from the Kingdom of Seajarta were shocked by Cross's reward and punishment system.

However, the two of them have completely different opinions.

Britney and Wendy thought about it, but in her eyes, it was indeed beyond her imagination that the descendants of the dragon king Antara had such courage.

As for Charlie, he also has a lot of insight and experience, and in his opinion, a system like Close is just a naïve child's idea, and he is sure that Cross will eventually pay a terrible price for such a system.

When almost everyone was cheering for the system that Cross had promulgated, Cross spoke again.

"What happened last night, we have to remember every one of us. Next, I will improve the reward and punishment system, but until then, I will also announce the rules that must be followed to become my lord.

First, no one is allowed to get drunk.

I'm sure that after last night's incident, no one will dare to get drunk again. Although the reason why we get drunk is because we fall for the tricks of Shande, from now on, whether we are celebrating ourselves or accepting invitations from others, we must make sure that we do not get drunk.

Violations of the rules are subject to penalties.

In front of the rules, everyone is the same, including me.

If I violate the rules in the regulations, I will also be penalized.

The regulations and their corresponding penalties will be gradually improved. We will also inform you when the time comes. ”

Breaking the traditional system of rewards and punishments is followed by rules and regulations, and Cross hopes to take this opportunity to put Copperhill on the right track.

Cross's mentor had told him that a well-developed military discipline would make the army more disciplined and make it easier for the commander to manage and command.

Cross believed that there were similarities between managing armies and managing their subjects, so he promulgated the rules and regulations along with the system of rewards and punishments.

As for this rule of law, everyone did not object in the slightest, and they all knew very well that if it had not been for the celebration banquet yesterday, if there were not so many people drunk, then the enemy would not have had a chance to cause trouble at all.

Cross's several layers of purpose were all achieved, and the results were very good.

Finally, he told everyone that the rewards for the first battle in Blackwater would also be given to the relevant personnel within a week.

He then dispersed the crowd, working for what should be done, recuperating for the wounded, and asked Lancelot, Watson, and Reiner to bring the traitors to a fork in the road. Only Wendy, Nia, Tina, Charlie, and Randall were left.
