On December 8th, it was more than half a month before the monster army retreated.
Cadro Province Defense Force Luoyun Slope gathered together two months ago, and what follows is the reward based on merit that everyone is looking forward to.
Compared with the thousand people who prepared to go to support the three provinces of Lunza-East-Dani two months ago, only less than three thousand people returned here. Almost all the people led by the nobles were wiped out. The losses were not small, but it was worth it to these nobles.
Wandering around the camp, Velin discovered many young nobles with faces like this. After inquiring, he learned that the heirs of the noble noble Direct Lineage who died on the front line came to participate in the merit-based rewards, which would be their family's share of glory.
"Velin, here."
Looking towards the distance, I found that it was Moira who was waving to me.
"Sister Moira, long time no see." Velin passed by with a smile on her face and greeted Moira enthusiastically.
"It has been two months, and you have grown a lot. I have heard from Flora about your deeds. You are worthy of being the heir of His Excellency Angus. You are equally outstanding."
After not seeing each other for two months, Moira has gone through a lot of changes, but he still maintains his active personality.
"It depends on what you say, Moira." Flora pressed Moira's head from behind and said through gritted teeth.
"It hurts, it hurts, let me go quickly, Flora."
Breaking free from Flora's hands, Moira hid aside, arranging his hair, and kept complaining.
"Auntie, it's morning." Velin greeted warmly.
"Come with me, I will take you to see my brother and the leader."
"Wait, me too."
Moira looked at the two people far away and hurriedly followed him.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the three of them arrived at a remote camp.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the camp, they heard voices coming from inside.
"Kadeqi, when will you marry my daughter?"
"Wait, wait, wait, I'm only in my early forties, I'm not ready yet for Tuan, Tuan... Yue, father-in-law."
"Hmph, just wait, you almost died this time in Two-Headed Ogre's hands. If you wait, I'm afraid Moira will be left a widow."
Velin listened to this exciting content, turned his head slightly, and looked at me from the side. He saw Moira looking at him with a half-smile, slightly opening his mouth and saying, "The days of calling me sister are not long anymore!"
Then, the three people entered the tent.
At a glance, one could see the two of them sitting on the floor, drinking and talking happily, without any appearance at all.
"You are here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." A young man with a face as clear as a sculpture and angular features greeted enthusiastically.
Flora pulled Velin to sit down on the carpet, and Moira came to sit next to Kadeqi·Exes.
This is the big man sitting next to him. 16th Knight Order, the leader of Maidmonchi, is not as domineering as before. Instead, he is like the uncle next door, making people feel harmonious.
"Captain, this is Velin."
Velin looked at Maidmonchi with some restraint. Just when he was about to say hello cautiously, he saw the other party taking the lead and said, "Velin, your father Angus, the commander of the regiment, please come back!"
Hearing this, Velin replied somewhat confusedly, "Huan Tu, when I left, my father was in very bad health."
Flora saw Velin's confusion, and whispered in his ear, "The leader's current achievements have a lot to do with your father."
"Hahaha, tell me something about your father next time I see you. Thirty years ago, flag guard captain Maidmonchi·Colombo asked him."
"Captain, I will definitely bring you."
Velin stood up and bent down to salute.
"Sit down, sit down, you don't have to stand up, you're such a nice guy."
After drinking and talking, Velin got to know two powerful people in Sixteenth Knight Order a lot.
"By the way, is your territory near here?" Maidmonchi put down his wine glass and asked suddenly.
"Yes, leader, Yellow Stone Area is not far from Luoyunpo." Velin answered naturally, without the previous restraint.
"Is your territory short of people now?"
"It's lacking, it's very lacking." Velin said without hesitation upon hearing this.
"I have gathered a group of people here, about 30,000 people, all abandoned by Pioneer Knight. It is difficult to deal with them now. How many can you accept?"
As for the population, of course, the more the better, but Velin knew the impact of Famine Sacrifice in advance and directly accepted these 30,000 people. Lake of Star Prayer might not have died suddenly on the spot.
As for the buying and selling of people, within the scope affected by this famine, not all serfs and slaves are being sold.
After some consideration, Velin raised his head and said to Maidmonchi, "Captain, my territory is small and can only accept a maximum of 10,000 people."
"Ten thousand is fine. I will arrange for someone to send it to you later."
"Thank you, captain."
Some other exchanges followed, and the meeting came to an end.
In the next few days, the Battle Merit reviewers sent by Royal Capital began to verify the Battle Merit quantity, record Battle Merit for the nobles, and file.
In this military operation, Velin used Knight Order as a logistical escort and won 0.2 Battle Merit; participated in Defense Force's annihilation of the Monster Clan and won 0.5 Battle Merit; defended Deer Gate South Mountain Earthen Fort destroyed the intention of a small group of monsters to go north, and won 1.3 Battle Merit, a total of two Battle Merit. There are still 28 Battle Merit away from promotion to Viscount, and there is still a long way to go.
However, he is still Pioneer Knight now, and there will be more than two years before the Baron promotion review will start. There is still a long time. As for promotion to Viscount, the road is still long, and there is no rush at all.
You should know that many Barons have worked hard for decades and participated in many military operations organized by the kingdom. The Battle Merits in their hands are not as many as the Battle Merits in the hands of Velins.
"Battle Merit is really hard to get!"
Velin held Command Token in his hand and sighed to Kyle on the side.
This time I almost lost my life to gain such a little bit.
"Lord, I believe that within ten years, you will be able to promotion to Viscount."
"I'll lend you some good words."
Velin said with a smile, promotion to Viscount is unlikely to be possible in ten years, but it may be possible in another ten years.
"Lord Velin, my master invites you to come and have a small gathering."
"Adrian, tell cousin Brian that I will be there soon."
"Yes."
Afterwards, Velin simply packed up and went to the meeting.
In Brian's camp, Olcott and Edgar sat down early, and they were talking happily.
"This time there is still a Battle Merit gap between promotion to Viscount, but it's not much different. If there is another war, I should be able to save enough." Edgar was like spring breeze and explained to Olcott very excitedly.
"Brother, I envy you!" Olcott said melancholy, "I'm still far behind. I still need to participate in at least three games."
"Hahaha, I'm just lucky. Whichever direction I'm responsible for has more Monster Clan. I win by quantity. I got 0.5 Battle Merit more in vain."
