Lord of Lowland

Chapter 394 Actions after the war

After listening to the report, Cecil hurriedly looked at the way the Blood Eagle Knights pursued before he was relieved. It seems that Bartley is not a completely indiscriminate person, and he still knows the priorities and knows when to do it. What.At the meeting last night, they had to withdraw from all battle positions because of the casualties of the Blood Eagle Knights, but now they saw that the swamp tribe on the opposite side had withdrawn their troops, they changed their mind in an instant and launched a pursuit!The way of attacking did not cause too much trouble for himself. The blood eagle knights were ambushed, which was not a problem, because this kind of pursuit would not be worth the loss if there was an unnecessary misunderstanding with the swamp tribe. Bartley's pursuit method Although it was full of bureaucratic meanings, Cecil's thoughts were integrated at the moment. Cecil thought that this Bartley knight was not a simple person, and it seemed that he had to be careful in dealing with him in the future.

It was already daylight, and Cecil hurried out of the city lord's mansion and came to the front line. Now that the retreat of the swamp tribe has spread throughout the army, everyone's energy and physical strength have reached their limit after a month of fierce resistance. Cecil's previous wars in the city-state were almost all arranged by Cecil alone. In this war, the troops of the entire Samara province stubbornly resisted the attack of tens of thousands of swamp tribes and tens of thousands of people on the front line. If it weren't for the fact that the swamp tribes were not good at attacking and their willingness to attack was not strong, and the Cyclops tribe who launched the attack wanted to use the servant army to attack, I am afraid that all their troops would be buried here.

Cecil immediately said: "All the personnel who participated in the battle will be rewarded with 1000 gold coins each, and the sacrificed personnel will be given 5000 gold coins each, and all the personnel will have 7 days off to repair and reorganize the troops. The moment this statement was made, there were thunderous cheers 1000 gold coins is not a small amount. Cecil earned only 500 gold coins a year as a knight lord, which is equivalent to two years of knight lord's income. It can be said that a soldier's income for ten years is more than ten years. The pension he received was enough to go to other parts of the kingdom to buy a large manor and become the owner of the manor. When Cecil said this, there was joy on the battlefield, but Reker and Corian looked a little hesitant. Grand Knight Bartley was not very happy either. Cecil wondered why he rewarded the soldiers so much that they were not happy. Could it be that they felt that they were too generous with the rewards they received? Cecil suddenly thought I couldn't stop laughing. I got a lot of money from the swamp tribe last time. After several months of trade, I have accumulated hundreds of millions of gold coins. It just happened to be distributed this time. Their share is naturally indispensable. These people are too Feeling disgusted, Cecil shook his head incomprehensibly at their unhappy expressions.

Cecil kept Corian and Rekel, and wanted to talk to them about this issue, but when there were only three left, Corian said bluntly: "The rewards given to soldiers by adults are really too much." . "

Cecil laughed and said: "Last time we attacked the Hydra's lair and got a lot of money. The money is nothing to us. We still have a lot of magic crystals that have not been sold. Those are all Cabrada's hot item. Money is not a problem, and you can rest assured that the rewards I give you are definitely far higher than these ordinary soldiers."

Keruien shook his head and said: "It's not a question of whether the money is enough, but as an ordinary soldier, he won a big reward that he couldn't get in 10 years at once, so he wouldn't put that little salary in his daily life. In their eyes, Sir Earl, your treasury is not unlimited, and their expectations of you will also increase. If your reward next time is not as high as this time, they will even resent you for it. This is the so-called great kindness like hatred , if the reward is not good enough, it will also become a drag and burden.

Cecil suddenly realized that he was too careless. Indeed, as the two people said, giving such a high reward to the army at one time will not only make them lose their basic enthusiasm for their usual work. If the reward is too much this time, They will naturally have higher expectations for the next reward. No matter how many gold coins they have stored, they will be eaten up sooner or later. Once the next reward drops, it will be a blow to morale. Cecil didn't think of it before, it seems that managing a team is a science, and blindly giving generous rewards is undoubtedly not a good way to manage a team.For the continuous management and stable development of the team, I am afraid that I have to pay more attention to the knowledge of various lords.

Thinking of this, Cecil said sincerely to Rekel and Corian: "Thank you for your reminders, I am a young man and I have no experience as a lord, so it is difficult to guarantee that I will make mistakes. Me, but since I have said what I said today, I can’t go back on my word, it will hit the morale of the entire team even more, so why don’t we set an example?”

Seeing Cecil's remonstrance, Corin and Rekel obeyed him. It is true that sometimes even if it is a wrong decision, the lord can only implement it once it is said, and it is very possible to change it by force. It will lead to more adverse consequences, which is also the helplessness of reality.

In the next few days, the entire city of Raeira was decorated with lights and the whole city was very excited, and Cecil reissued the conscription notice because he treated the army very well, not only in the Samara province, but also in the province of Samara. The other provinces of the Soloran Kingdom, and even the Eluk Empire in the west, are constantly bringing young men to seek refuge, and even some wild regiments even lead people to join them.

With so many soldiers, Cecil was elated. He selected 3000 soldiers from among the best, and 1000 soldiers were added to the Blood Eagle Knights. The troops directly under the king must be supplemented by themselves if they lose in battle.Another 2000 people were added to his direct troops, and Keruien and Rekel were responsible for the drills.In this way, Cecil's own troops have also increased to 3000, but these 3000 troops have just been selected from all over the world, and more training is needed to integrate them into a group to form a strong combat effectiveness.

Cecil personally handed over the Kratos battle formation he obtained to Corian and Recker, and trained these newly recruited soldiers according to the authentic Kratos battle formation. Cecil believed that as long as after three After a month of training, the 3000 soldiers in my hands will become the elite of the elite, and their combat effectiveness is only stronger than that of the Blood Eagle Knights.
