When Nalant got up and came to the vestibule, Quick and others were sorting the trophies from last night, which were all weapons and equipment obtained from the Quinte guards.
This time Quinte Camp plus the team that came to transport the ore, Quinte has sixty-one people.
However, during the battle, most of their weapons and equipment were scrapped, especially protective gear such as leather armor, which was the most severely damaged.
According to the final statistics, the weapons and equipment that can be slightly repaired include ten pieces of leather armor, five longbows, and more than twenty longswords.
These weapons and equipment can be regarded as valuable trophies, especially the standard leather armor. In Tulip City, one piece requires thirty silver coins, and ten pieces are equivalent to three gold coins.
The team purchased and returned from Tulip City, and most of the money was spent on this.
As for the standard long sword, it is not expensive. The cheaper one costs seven or eight silver coins, and the more sophisticated Dingtian costs only fifteen silver coins.
In addition to weapons and equipment, the thirty absentees were all imprisoned in the castle dungeon.
Although Nalant is not prepared to do anything to those miners, for the time being, they can only be kept inside until better arrangements are made before they can be released.
After briefly understanding the situation, Nalant went to the back garden and started practicing.
When I came to the back garden, I just thought about the Flame Crystal I was holding in my hand, and immediately a surge of Battle Qi was poured into my body.
If obtaining Battle Qi during meditation practice is like water dripping from a faucet, then practicing with Flame Crystal is like using a fire hydrant to fill water.
At noon, Nalant was awakened during practice, and the celebration lunch he ordered had been prepared.
When he came to the vestibule again, four or five wooden tables had been arranged neatly, and the guards were sitting quietly on the long tables waiting.
The original celebration process required gathering all the villagers to watch, and then commending the guards one by one, allowing them to accept the attention of the citizens and increase their sense of honor.
Unfortunately, this attack could not be carried out in public, so it could only be carried out inside the castle.
"Meet the adults!"
When Nalant arrived, all the guards looked at their master with glaring eyes.
"Yeah!" Nalant came to the front with a smile.
"The battle last night was very fierce, but it also allowed me to witness your bravery!"
"And I, today, will reward you for your bravery!"
After saying that, Thomas came to Nalant and handed over a note.
This note records the enemy killing record of each guard last night. This is the statistics made by Quick and Vivian before leaving the camp.
"Sherry!" Nalant did not call out the guards immediately, but called out the crucial but inconspicuous hero of this operation.
"Sir, I'm here!" Sherry didn't expect that he would be the first person called by his master. Although he had a lively and active personality in the past, he actually became a little nervous in front of everyone.
"In this operation, the bees sent by Sherry played the greatest role!"
"Here, I reward Sherry ten silver coins, two pieces of brown sugar and white bread, and two bottles of jasmine perfume!"
"Wow! Two bottles of perfume! Thank you Lord, Sherry swears to be loyal to you to the death!" Sherry heard this and immediately jumped up happily.
Now everyone knows the value of perfume, which represents two gold coins. No wonder Sherry is so happy. If it were not forbidden, Sherry would have the urge to offer a sweet kiss.
"The following is Vivian. Vivian fought very bravely last night. Her reward is ten silver coins, a piece of brown sugar and white bread, and a bottle of jasmine perfume!"
"Thank you, sir. I will loyally serve you to the death!" Vivian also had a look of excitement on his face, but her character was much more reserved than Lilia. She didn't jump around. She respectfully walked to Nalant and bowed, and happily returned to her original position with the gift.
"Here's...Quick!"
"My lord, my subordinates are here!"
"Your battle last night was very heroic. I would like to reward you with ten silver coins, and in addition, a Battle Qi basic training manual!"
"Wow! Battle Qi training manual!"
Now, the guards in the audience were even more surprised than before when they heard the reward of Sherry.
This is the Battle Qi cultivation method!
Only by possessing Battle Qi can one completely escape from the status of civilian serfs. This is also the life-long pursuit of the guards.
In order to achieve a stable rule, the nobles naturally attach great importance to the Battle Qi cultivation method. Under normal circumstances, it is not a particularly important feat. How can the guards have the opportunity to obtain the cultivation method.
"This... Sir, my subordinates don't have enough meritorious service..." Although Quick's dream after becoming a guard is to one day be able to use military merit to obtain Battle Qi's training techniques.
But he knew that just relying on his record of killing seven people last night was not enough to get such a reward.
"No, Quick! In addition to sufficient merit, your loyalty to me is also extremely important!"
"Over this period of time, I have seen your loyalty and your bravery! Therefore, I will reward you with this Basic Battle Qi Manual in advance. I hope that you can make greater contributions to me when you have greater abilities!"
Nalant interrupted Quick's words. He passed Battle Qi's cultivation method to Quick after careful consideration.
First of all, his men lacked military force. Other barons had one or two Title Knight as vassals, but he did not.
But his Storm Territory is more dangerous than other territories. In the future, when he earns a lot of gold coins from various valuable goods, the danger will increase exponentially.
By then, not only Dark Creature, but also some greedy lords will set their sights on Storm Territory, so he needs to cultivate enough high-end combat power as soon as possible.
A Title Knight is not created overnight. Now handing over Basic Battle Qi Manual to Quick can be regarded as a plan for the future. Anyway, there is no doubt about Quick's loyalty.
In addition, he also wants to put on a show of buying bones for thousands of dollars. Although this is a bit shameless, as a person in power, it is also necessary.
Today, he was able to give Battle Qi's secret skills to Quick, which also gave the guards hope, unlike other nobles who would always be in the mirror.
"Yes, sir! Quick swears to be loyal to you to the death!" After listening to Nalant's words, Quick came to Nalant respectfully without any further hesitation, knelt down on one knee and received his reward with great excitement.
"Well, there are you! Although only Quick has obtained the Battle Qi cultivation technique this time! But I can tell you that Quick is by no means the last person to obtain Battle Qi's secret technique. Every one of you has a chance!" After Quick sat back down, Nalant spoke to the guards below.
"Yes, sir! I will serve you to the death!" The eyes of the guards were filled with hope. This was real hope.
"Very good, here is Lucky Mud! In this battle, you killed three enemies and fought very bravely. I will reward you with nine silver coins and three pieces of black and brown sugar bread!"
"Yes, thank you for the reward, sir. I will swear allegiance to you to the death!"
"Hani Shitou, you killed two enemies in this battle. You fought very heroically. I will reward you with six silver coins and two pieces of Brown Sugar Black Bread..."
"..."
The rewards for ordinary guards, Nalant, are calculated based on three silver coins per head and a piece of brown sugar bread.
Don't think Nalant is stingy. For other noble lords, even if the guard is killed in battle, the pension is only more than 20 silver coins. In many cases, it is not as valuable as a set of leather armor.
After all, the most indispensable thing in this world is civilians, and the nobles have become accustomed to being stingy.
As for the two seriously injured guards, because they did not wake up, Nalant has not given them any rewards for the time being. Everything still needs to be decided by their subsequent situation.
If they are lucky enough to survive, Nalant will give them a few more silver coins as compensation for their injuries.
If two people are killed in battle, Nalant will also give them a pension as compensation!
"Okay, now that the rewards are over, it's time to start the celebration carnival!"
"Today, there is still enough broth, and I also prepared beer for you!"
After the rewards were distributed, Nalant waved his hand towards Thomas.
The servant immediately began to bring the cooked food. In addition, Thomas carefully rolled a barrel of beer.
This beer was stolen from Anthony. However, Nalant is not interested in this world's beer. Because of this world's backward technology, most beers have a bitter taste.
Therefore, Nalant would rather drink scented tea or honey water than touch this beer.
"It turned out to be beer. Thank you Lord for your generosity!"
"Thank you for your generosity!"
However, just because Nalant didn't like it, it didn't mean that the guards didn't like it. When they heard that there was beer, they all cheered.
With cheers and cheers, the castle was completely plunged into carnival.
