Chapter 530: Post-Battle Analysis of the Combat, Distributing Money!

Jier obtained a handful of salt grains; this stuff had just been smashed out on the spot by Xueya Site using the counterweight metal at the end of a Dagger.

The salt generally used comes in larger, coarser, solidified blocks, which the Cooks must hammer down on the spot when needed. Whether a Cook's food tastes good often depends on whether they can correctly gauge the dosage of salt needed at the right time.

This is an important and serious matter.

If people do not eat salt, they have no strength; whether marching or fighting, it consumes a great deal of physical energy from the Warriors and Soldiers, and sweating carries away the salt within the human body. At such times, the Cooks must accurately control the salt used in the food according to the day's activity level of the group.

If there is too little, the food tastes bland and flavorless, and it will also affect the physical strength of the Warriors and Soldiers the next day. If there is too much, it will seriously affect the appetite of the Warriors and Soldiers; everyone cannot eat overly salty food, which will affect their physical strength even more.

Jier secretly found a small Wooden box, sprinkled a layer of salt grains inside first, then placed the thumb of the Defeated Soldier he had picked up that morning inside, and poured the remaining salt grains over it, covering it entirely.

Closing the small box, Jier held it in his hand and looked at it, wondering what he was thinking, then used his Dagger to carve a few words onto the Wooden box—【Make Animals Speak】.

He actually quite wanted to feed this thing to his warhorse, but he did not know if this thing had any serious consequences, such as being poisoned after eating it and dying quickly?

Those silly birds and sparrows naturally do not fear that, or rather, they cannot recognize the potential harm of this thing. They were just attracted by instinct, scrambling to eat the flesh and blood of that person. It seems they could speak on the spot, but who knows if there are other side effects?

Carefully putting this thing away, Jier watched the sun gradually setting, along with the campfires being lit and rising one by one, and once again annoyedly picked up the messy papers.

"Everyone gather around, let's discuss today's battle, everyone. Everyone gather around!"

Jier said loudly.

The Warriors walked over one after another and sat on the ground; some Warriors who had been injured today also forcibly moved their bodies, trying their best to get closer.

The Drivers also participated in the battle this time for the most part, and since it was the work of blocking the outskirts of Changmai Cunzi that Knight Jier specifically stated was very important, they also gathered together and leaned in.

The rescued female Villagers looked over curiously and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what this Warrior of the Agricultural God had to say. They had just learned from the words of the surrounding Warriors that this young man who possessed the identity of a Warrior of the Agricultural God was actually a young Knight from a distant region!

What a youthful face!

But the confidence and volume in his voice, as well as the obedience of everyone around him in following his orders, made it impossible for anyone to treat him as an overly naive, ordinary young man.

After seeing everyone gathered around, and even Bata'er Jiaoshi stopped his Prayer for the bones of the deceased Villagers, Jier spoke up.

"Let me first talk about the general situation of today's battle."

Jier pointed to the portion of Warriors who attacked the south wall of the village: "Your performance today was not very good; even with the support of Bata'er Jiaoshi, you still committed several major problems."

These Warriors, knowing they had been pointed out, scratched their heads one after another, smiling awkwardly at the people around them.

"I listened to your accounts of the battle separately, and I discovered that in this battle, you did not effectively follow the command of Bata'er Jiaoshi. The Warriors who got onto the wall only cared about excitedly engaging the enemy and chasing the enemy, while ignoring the others under the wall, leading to a disconnection between the front and back, and the top and bottom of the battle team."

"This is very serious. Originally, our side had more archers, and with their support, it should have been easy to suppress one or two enemies on the wall. But because of the disconnection, the front-line Warriors charged too fast and engaged the enemy, and the archers didn't even catch up."

"At the same time, the coordination of the Warriors' team was also a big problem. Clearly, there were Shield bearers, melee Warriors, and the support of the archers below, and even the presence of a Priest who could directly end the battle, yet you still fought in a mess."

Jier shook his head: "Afterwards, while maintaining everyone's basic combat training, I will teach everyone how Warriors using different weapons should coordinate during battle, and how to deal with different enemies."

"This is what you need to learn most."

The Warriors nodded one after another; many of them had actually vaguely realized these shortcomings, but without Jier's eloquence, they could not express these things in systematic language.

Many Warriors were mutes; letting them do this or that was fine, but if you let them say anything other than bragging and showing off, they couldn't say anything.

The literacy problem of the Warriors was also not small.

At least Jier understood that these Warriors under his command had to be literate, right? Otherwise, if there were more people in the future and his orders were conveyed through text, what would happen if these Warriors couldn't read them?

"Besides these, there is also your lack of ability to attack fortified positions, and your lack of adaptability. Facing the sentry post at the south wall gate, you couldn't take it down. Clearly, the enemy only had a few people, and they could hardly handle a strong attack from several directions around them. For example, at this time, you could have fully utilized the height of the enemy sentry post, moved close to the building after approaching, moved from the bottom of the building to the four surrounding directions, and then climbed and attacked simultaneously to take that place."

The Warriors showed a difficult expression at this time; the method given by Knight Jier was truly difficult for them, who were Armed Civilians not long ago.

"Or, at this time, you could have brought Bata'er Jiaoshi to the wall and let him use the powerful Divine Power Impact to directly dismantle the small gate of the enemy's Jiedian. I saw it; even if it was blocked with things inside, once hit from the outside by the Divine Power Impact, the entire wooden gate along with the supplies blocking it inside would have been blown away. You should have tried more flexible methods at the time, instead of facing the enemy's stubborn resistance and being unable to advance."

Jier shrugged: "The result was that I had to remind you from afar, letting the Mao Maos, whom you kept ignoring, enter the field, and relying on them to take that enemy Jiedian."

Bata'er Jiaoshi and the Warriors who were responsible for the south side at the time scratched their heads in embarrassment, while the Mao Maos proudly propped themselves up with their tails, swaying back and forth in mid-air.

In this battle, they obtained weapons and equipment from several enemy Soldiers, as well as various Human supplies from the Jiedian they had attacked.

They could be considered to have had a fruitful harvest.

"In this, there is also the issue of your coordination with the Mao Maos. Everyone still doesn't quite trust these furry Warriors; they are actually quite reliable. Because of their body size, they can actually participate in your battle smoothly. Even if everyone hasn't undergone much training in combat coordination, it doesn't matter; these Mao Maos are themselves experienced, veteran Warriors, and they will coordinate with you."

"Therefore, in future battles, if everyone is fighting together with the Mao Maos, you can fully trust these furry aliens more."

The Warriors looked at each other and nodded reluctantly.

After finishing these shortcomings, Jier naturally saw that the atmosphere of the Warriors was not high, so he directly changed the topic and talked about battle rewards.

This was an exciting topic; upon hearing this, the Warriors changed their expressions, each looking at Jier with burning eyes.

Because at this time, Jier had already waved his hand, letting Xueya Site carry two bags of coins up.

"First is Bata'er Jiaoshi; you had kills. According to the bounty rules with the Mao Maos, for this time, every single kill, one enemy is one Gold Coin!"

Upon hearing this, everyone could not sit still and started discussing excitedly in low voices. Before, when Jier handed several Gold Coins to Yongqi Maomao, many people had actually seen it, but the Mao Maos were, after all, hired aliens, and their skills were indeed not small; they had made many contributions in today's battle, so taking that money was also deserved.

But they didn't expect that Knight Jier would actually give them and the Mao Maos a reward standard.

They were not hired by Knight Jier with money; although they also had wages, this hadn't been settled yet. After all, how to calculate money when there is a battle, and how to calculate it when there is no battle?

"Bata'er Jiaoshi's kill had the assistance of the archers, so he counts for eighty percent, and the archers count for twenty percent. Calculated, the Priest gets eight Silver Coins, and the three archers split two Silver Coins."

The Priest shook his head: "This is for my village, Warrior Jier; you don't need to calculate money for me."

But Jier also had something to say: "You should still take this money; after all, there will be many places where you need money later!" The Priest thought it was true; although compared to the villagers who might be rescued from Changmai Cunzi and the hundreds of Refugees in Xiwang Town, this bit of money had no effect, but a little more was still a little more, so he nodded.

And the three archers gathered together, discussing in low voices how the three of them should split two Silver Coins?

They counted with their fingers hard; no matter how they calculated, someone among the three would have to suffer a loss, and someone would get more.

Xueya Site took out ten Silver Coins from the Silver Coin bag, showed them to everyone, and then walked over to hand eight of them to the Priest and two to the three archers.

Bata'er Jiaoshi called over a sturdy female Villager about thirty years old and handed the money to her, whispering some words. This female Villager was not polite and took it directly.

In this disaster, all the families in the village suffered heavy losses. In the afternoon, some of them returned to their houses that were still standing, and looking at the empty, messy rooms inside, they were all desperate. Even more desperate were the Villagers whose homes were located in the northwest direction of the village; their homes were gone, burned into ruins by the Defeated Soldiers.

Except for the fields outside the village, they had nothing left.

Then Jier continued: "The first enemy killed on the south side was completed by the cooperation of the archers and a Shield bearer. The archers count for forty percent, and the Shield bearer counts for sixty percent. Therefore, the three archers each get four Silver Coins, and the Shield bearer gets six Silver Coins."

While Jier was saying these words that excited the Warriors, he himself remembered the time he was busy alone in Kendall County last year. At that time, he would often risk his life for a few Gold Coins and kill many enemies, but today he could easily give out a bounty of one Gold Coin for one enemy.

The main reason was the harvest of today's battle; there were more than thirty enemies, and at most, it would only cost a total bounty of thirty-some Gold Coins. And many of them were enemies he killed himself, so he didn't need to calculate money for himself, and the weapons, equipment, property, and wealth harvested from the enemies exceeded this bounty by an unknown amount.

Not to mention anything else, just the Soldier Sword that each of the thirty-some enemies had was made of steel; one could be sold for at least one Gold Coin in Kendall City, and many of the enemies were equipped with Soldier Bows; these high-quality bows and arrows were also not cheap, more expensive than Long Swords.

And most importantly, the metal armor plates and Soldier Armor on the enemies; this set is worth at least several Gold Coins, and adding the boots the enemies wore and the Metal Helmet they donned, the entire set comes to over ten Gold Coins just in weapons and equipment.

And that is the value of just one enemy soldier's equipment!

Counting up over thirty people, aside from letting the Warriors seize and use some of the weapons and equipment themselves, Jier counted all the remaining surplus as his own gains from this battle.

Whether he sells them in the future or keeps them for new Warriors to use, it is a significant sum of money and an investment.

All in all, Jier is the one who made a huge profit today.

The various obvious, not-so-obvious, cash, and sellable gains from today alone exceed everything he has obtained since coming to this other world, even including the items from the Elf Ruins.

Of course, the things in the Elf Ruins cannot be counted; otherwise, just that pile of Silver Plate measured by the ton, he might be wealthier than His Majesty the Regent of the Saint Hors Kingdom!

Furthermore, those Elf Gem pieces he dismantled, those gems capable of automatically restoring power, what kind of value would they have?

Jier hadn't thought much about this before; he had no opportunity to sell those Silver Plate, and there weren't many places to use the Elf Gem, which could only be used to power the stone elf sculpture greatswords. Now that he thinks about it, the value of these things might be even more astonishing than he imagined.

Thinking of this, Jier became less interested in these petty gains at the moment. After having greater harvests, he offered the Warriors a bounty at the same rate as the hired Mao Mao.

He hopes that after receiving these bounties, they will train harder and fight more valiantly in the future.

Jier does not know to what extent his super-standard bounty has ignited the passion of these Warriors for battle.

Xueya Site took ten Silver Coins out of the coin bag, displayed them in front of everyone, and then gave six of them to the Shield bearer who killed the enemy, and four to the three archers.

Now the three archers had six Silver Coins in their hands; they all breathed a sigh of relief, as two each made things much better.

As for the Shield bearer who received six Silver Coins alone, he shouted excitedly, boasting about how he was the first person to rush onto the south wall. But he didn't stop to think, if it weren't for the other Shield bearers under the wall acting as a human ladder, how could he have gone up so easily?

"The third enemy killed was completed by the joint efforts of several Warriors. Therefore, the enemy's bounty is split equally. Among them, the Warrior using an axe who directly killed the enemy, you get three Silver Coins, and the Shield bearer who provided key support, who was even injured because of it, you get three Silver Coins. At the same time, because you were injured in the battle, I will give you an extra reward of one Silver Coin to encourage your heroic act. The other three people, one Shield bearer and two sword-wielding Warriors, you three share four Silver Coins."

With three people sharing four Silver Coins, they had to start counting on their fingers again to figure out how much money everyone would get if they wanted to split it equally.

But they learned to be smart this time; because everyone still had their own merits later on, they decided not to calculate how the three would split the four Silver Coins for now, and would calculate it together after all the other money was settled.

It's just that I don't know if these Warriors, who only know simple addition and subtraction and a little multiplication and division, can handle these math and personnel problems that even stumped Jier.
