Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

Except for the heavy casualties suffered by the private soldiers, everything else was fine.

The levied cavalry assigned to Li Wei by the Marquis of Six Hundred Yashan was much better, with only more than fifty people lost, and the organization was quite intact.

In addition, Harland is still seriously injured and is probably unable to enter the Evernight Forest with Levi. However, he can just return to Snow Dragon Fortress with Angel, who stayed at Luke Fortress last time.

Finally, some extraordinary props and extraordinary equipment were damaged, which Li Wei felt less distressed about.

Levi swallowed the last piece of steak, rinsed his mouth with a mouthful of black tea, and asked, "By the way, what do you call me?"

"Blondie, Lord Baron, just call me Blondie."

"Okay, so Burundi, is there any news about the troops on the front line?"

"Lord Baron, we have not received news from the frontline troops yet, but we have sent messengers and scouts to check the situation. We should have a reply within four days at the latest."

Levi frowned. He hoped to join the second battalion of the Ice Knights originally stationed at Luke's Fortress as soon as possible, and then get a squadron of Ice Knights and rush to the Evernight Forest as soon as possible.

After all, Levi and his party only stayed in the Evernight Forest for a few days under the leadership of Yaqis last time, and they had not visited most of the area.

This time, Levi had to make a good visit to the Eternal Night Forest. After all, he would also have to conduct guerrilla attacks against the orcs in the Eternal Night Forest in the future, so familiarity with the terrain was a basic requirement.

"Burundi, please come back at two o'clock in the afternoon and take me to the military depot."

"Okay, Lord Baron."

After the meal, Levi came to the military camp.

With the sound of the assembly whistle, all the soldiers and officers, except for a small number of soldiers on duty, came to the wounded soldiers camp to assemble.

When everyone gathered together, Li Wei, who was standing on Fat Zi's head, threw down a huge centaur head.

"Fellow warriors! Yesterday, we fought a bloody battle and defeated centaurs ten times our size. A Sun-level centaur even died under our hunting.

Thousands of the royal family of the Orc Empire - lion men and more tauren were frightened by us and fled in panic. The friendly troops at the top of Luke Fortress cheered for us!

You are real warriors, warriors, and heroes! ! ! "

The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause. In the Kingdom of Fontaine, which was founded on military merit, it has always been a tradition to boast of martial arts. Li Wei's words aroused the sense of honor of all the soldiers.

If an army wins many battles and confronts the strong with weakness many times, it will naturally develop the belief in victory and the determination to defend glory. Even if they encounter setbacks, they will rise to the challenge and never defeat the enemy until they defeat it. give up!

This is how the mentality of a victorious teacher is slowly cultivated.

"Since he is a true hero, he should have a reward worthy of a true hero! I will never lose the benefits of those who follow me, Levi, into battle!

I declare that the Monterey Fort private army is brave and fearless, and will not back down in the face of the centaurs in the sun. The second-level auxiliary soldiers will be rewarded with five gold coins each, and the third-level regular soldiers will be rewarded with fifteen gold coins each! "

"Long live the lord!"

More than a hundred remaining Monterey private soldiers burst into loud cheers. As soon as Levi made a move, he received a bonus equivalent to half a year's basic military pay, which naturally made them cheer.

The conscripted cavalrymen on the side were slightly agitated, with expressions of anticipation and uneasiness intertwined on their faces.

Generally speaking, for an army like this that is affiliated to the kingdom, its military pay, combat subsidies, rewards, and military merit settlements are all directly issued by the kingdom. It is impossible for the commander to feed the public army out of his own pocket.

But the current commander, Mr. Li Wei, is very different from other noble men. Not only did he promise one-third of the combat subsidy according to his private army standard before the war, but Li Wei was also more generous than other nobles when rewarding his private army. .

"As for the knights recruiting the legion~"

More than five hundred pairs of eyes focused on Levi at the same time.

"Although the kingdom is responsible for your military pay, bounty, etc., since you are under my command, you can also be regarded as my soldiers, Li Wei.

You performed very well when attacking the centaurs and successfully defeated the centaur cluster. Therefore, I decided to award one gold and twenty silver coins to each second-level auxiliary soldier, five gold coins to each third-level regular soldier, and five gold coins to each fourth-level soldier. The officer is rewarded with 30 gold coins.

As for Villefort, your arrow was really outstanding. If you hadn't appeared at the critical moment, the Sun Realm centaur would have run away. I will truthfully write your performance into the battle report.

Villefort, if you are willing to be loyal to me, I will reward you with three villages as fiefs. If you are not willing, I can also reward you with five hundred gold coins. "

"I am willing to serve the Baron!"

Villefort came to Fat Zi without hesitation and knelt down on one knee.

"I, Wilford McCoy, swear that I will be loyal to Baron Levi Monterey from this time on, and I will remain unswervingly and unswervingly. If I betray him, I will fall into hell and be in flames forever!"

Levi quickly jumped off the back of the fish, took the long sword handed over by Bellam, and touched Villefort's shoulder three times.

"Villefort McCoy, I accept your allegiance, we are of one heart and one mind, and we will never betray you!"

Witnessed by hundreds of people, a simple and hasty allegiance ceremony was completed, and Li Wei successfully recruited a powerful fifth-level master under his command.

"Everyone, in yesterday's war, the brothers who died and were seriously injured made significant contributions, so they all share in the above rewards!

Not only that, I will also pay death and disability pensions in accordance with the standards announced during the defense of Fort Monterey.

However, since the brothers who recruited the legion are from other places, only blood-related comrades can help collect this payment. The pension standard is one-third of that of my private army! "

For a moment, the military camp became agitated again, and everyone was cheering for the baron's generosity and kindness, especially the private soldiers of the Monterey family. They were able to continue fighting even with a death rate of nearly 30% because Levi was willing to spend a lot of money. Raise troops!

"Soldiers of the levy legion, I, Levi, have always been generous with money for those who are loyal to me. After this war, if you want to leave the levy legion and become a member of my private army, you can have a private chat with Bellam or Villefort.

Moreover, our Monterey family will have a large territory after this war. If you suffer from high taxes and heavy corvee in the hinterland counties, those who trust me, Levi Monterey, can apply for border immigration!

When you come to our new territory, not only will each family be given land and housing, but they will also not be taxed for the first three years. For the first ten years, they will be taxed at half the border county standard, which is 20% of the hinterland county standard! "

I don't know how long it will be before the end of the war, but Master Li Wei has come up with the idea of ​​poaching the kingdom.
