Chapter 531: Reward Concluded, Weier's Achievements

"As for the reward for the Mao Maos who took the guard post at the south gate of the village, I have already given it to them before, so I won't say much more here."

Following this, Jier flipped a page of the paper in his hand and entered the next section.

"The battle on the north side, well, how should I put it, it's different from the south side. Each of you has decent combat ability, but the problem is mainly a lack of coordination; you cannot combine into an offensive and defensive combat squad during battle. Therefore, when fighting, you often face the enemy individually, relying on personal courage and technique to cope."

Jier stroked his chin: "This isn't impossible, but it can only handle a small number of enemies within your capabilities. Once you encounter a truly strong enemy, what will you do? I think you will only be defeated by the opponent one by one, right?"

"Everyone is thinking about defeating the enemy, and no one is thinking about assisting their companions; this way of doing things won't last long. Next time, I will also pay attention to this point and try not to let you walk together, but instead disperse you into other warrior combinations."

Hearing Jier's words, Aoni and the others looked at each other and shrugged.

"Next is everyone's favorite money-distributing session." Jier smiled and pointed his finger at the paper: "First is the first enemy. Weier, you killed the opponent alone, so the entire Gold Coin belongs to you."

Everyone exclaimed, while Weier calmly took the initiative to walk forward, reached out to receive a Gold Coin from Xueya Site, and generously displayed it for everyone to see.

Quite a few warriors began to whisper. Some still couldn't get used to Weier, this guy who used to hang out with bandits, and muttered in low voices. Others felt that Weier was indeed different; regardless of his character, at least his skills were high, and his martial strength was worth their trust.

Jier had just said that he would disperse these warriors with decent skills, so no one could be sure whether they would be fighting in coordination with Weier later. If they were assigned to Weier, that would actually be a good thing.

"Next is the second enemy."

Jier looked at the Mao Maos: "This one is a bit troublesome. This enemy was first wounded by the Mao Maos, then Weier stepped forward to wound the opponent, then knocked them off the wall, and finally, the Mao Maos stepped forward to kill them. And the bounty for this enemy has already been settled because the enemy's corpse was provided by the Mao Maos earlier, and I have already given them a whole Gold Coin."

"But when I asked about the battle process in detail later, I only then obtained the detailed killing method of this enemy from the Mao Maos and Weier."

Jier was a bit troubled. He waved his hand at the Mao Maos and summoned Yongqi Maomao: "So, the bounty for this enemy needs to be split between you and Weier. Since you completed the final kill and the initial wounding, you can take six Silver Coins, and Weier made the key action of knocking them off the wall, so he should get four Silver Coins. How about it? Can you split the four Silver Coins with Weier? After all, you cooperated with him to kill the enemy; it wouldn't be appropriate for you to take the entire bounty."

After hearing this, Yongqi Maomao pondered. The other Mao Maos could understand human speech but could not speak, and at this moment, they began to meow one after another; clearly, an internal argument had broken out.

In the end, it was Yongqi Maomao who had a better sense of the big picture, knowing that if they were reluctant to part with these few Silver Coins now, the human warriors would not be willing to cooperate with them in future battles, and they might end up losing even more—money not earned is a loss. Therefore, Yongqi Maomao nodded and called out twice to the two non-warrior Mao Maos responsible for looking after their logistics supplies. One of them reluctantly ran back to their carriage, and when it returned, it was carrying four Silver Coins of the Saint Hors Kingdom, which it handed to Weier.

Weier accepted them without hesitation and once again displayed them for the surrounding warriors to see.

He was showing off his own ability, letting others know that he was highly skilled, and that following him not only guaranteed safety during battle but also allowed them to earn more money.

"Ahem, let's continue. Let me see, the third enemy."

Jier's finger moved across the paper: "This enemy was killed by the three of you in cooperation. The one who made the final kill can get one extra Silver Coin, and Aoni used a Shield to perform an important defensive assist during the battle. Here, I want to praise Aoni; you did a good job."

Aoni laughed out loud: "I am a Warrior Captain; protecting everyone's life is what I should do."

"Final calculation: Sipulu, who uses the Changdao, you take five Silver Coins; Aoni, you take two Silver Coins; and the Axe Warrior Bawei, who killed the enemy, you take three Silver Coins. How about it? Any objections?"

Duyi-Bawi, that is the warrior who uses an axe and dreams of owning a Spirit weapon, actually wanted to speak up. After all, he was the one who finally completed the kill on the enemy; how could he only get a reward of three Silver Coins?

But seeing that the other two had no objections—especially Aoni, who only took two Silver Coins and didn't say anything despite getting less than him—he didn't dare to say anything either.

Xueya Site took out ten Silver Coins, showed them to everyone, and then handed five to the Changdao-wielding warrior Balinba-Supulu, and gave two Silver Coins to Aoni. Aoni didn't care much about this; what he actually wanted most was the new type of Armor that Knight Jier had promised to make for him before the battle. With Armor reinforced by the enemy's Metal Armor Plate, he would be slaughtering enemies in future battles, and bounties would naturally be easy to earn.

Finally, Xueya Site handed three Silver Coins to the axe-wielding warrior Bawei, and only then did he retreat to the side of the money bag.

"Let's continue."

"In the battle inside the north gate guard post, the kill of the first enemy was completed by Aoni, but the Changdao-wielding warrior Sipulu assisted in wounding the opponent, so you are splitting it six-four. Aoni, you take six Silver Coins; Sipulu, you take four Silver Coins."

Xueya Site handed the ten coins to them respectively, and Jier continued: "The kill of the second enemy inside the guard post was mostly completed by Sipulu, while Weier had been entangled with the enemy, so the bounty is split eight-two. Sipulu, you take eight Silver Coins; Weier, you take two Silver Coins."

The warriors whispered among themselves. Many did not expect that Sipulu, who usually kept a low profile, was actually so powerful in battle; he had participated in several battles.

Weier also took an extra look at this quiet and reticent comrade-in-arms, feeling a faint sense of urgency in his heart. He could see that the other person had few traces of martial arts training before, but he did not expect that this person had good talent, transforming from a young farmer into an Armed Civilian of a Refugee Team, then to a member of an Armed Squad, and finally to a warrior under Jier. He had stepped forward step by step and gradually revealed his combat talent, pulling a clear distance away from other warriors of the same period.

Aoni relied on the Armor on his body to fight, and that Axe Warrior relied on his daring spirit in battle; only this Sipulu was constantly becoming stronger by relying on combat talent.

He had to work harder himself, otherwise, he estimated he would soon be surpassed by the other person.

Perhaps not, after all, although the other person had talent, he had not undergone systematic training and learning, so there might be a ceiling to his strength.

But as for the specifics, Weier would still have to wait and see before making a judgment.

Weier did not know that Jier actually thought highly of this warrior; as long as he was cultivated, he would be an excellent warrior capable of facing ten men.

"Alright, next is the last enemy in the guard post. Ha, Bawei, you killed the opponent alone, and it was a jumping slash at that; quite excellent. But remember, if it's not necessary during battle, don't jump up to attack."

Jier gave a reminder, and then, amidst the surprise of the warriors, Xueya Site handed a Gold Coin to the Axe Warrior Bawei.

Bawei stood up and proudly held the Gold Coin high, showing it to everyone, then excitedly kissed the Regent on the coin and laughed loudly: "Now it seems that our King is also very kind."

Jier smiled and corrected the other's statement: "Not the King; the one on the coin is the Regent. The King of the Saint Hors Kingdom does not manage the country, but rather his son inherits and rules the country on his behalf."

Many people present did not know this, and after hearing it for the first time, they began to discuss it. It was also the first time Weier had heard of it; after all, the Bandit team he had stayed with before wouldn't discuss such things, right?

He curiously asked Priest Bata'er what was going on. The Priest, who had a good relationship with Weier, explained the origin of the Saint Hors Kingdom, as well as the King's professional status, personality, and so on, which finally explained Weier's doubts.

"So that's how it is, but I didn't expect that this Regent has been ruling this country for nearly a hundred years! In our Southern Lianmeng Wangguo, most rulers of families will not cling to power positions for long, because if a family wants to ensure vitality, it must constantly rotate the holder of supreme power. Most families have the actual power-holders of the family, selected through internal discussion, sit in the power position, and then wait until they are old to select other family members who are not direct descendants."

"This can ensure that one or two families do not control power within the family, and it can also ensure the competitiveness of the entire family."

After Weier said this, the Priest also felt that the power structure of the Southern Lianmeng Wangguo was better, but the Saint Hors Kingdom was a country established by the appointment of the gods; the establishment of the country was designated by the gods, and such power reform was obviously not something they, as mortals, could decide.

However, it was fortunate that the Regent currently managing the country was doing a decent job, and because of his father's factors, he had a long lifespan. It was estimated that by the time Bata'er himself died of old age, this Regent would still be in power ruling the country.

"Next are the results of the drivers who blocked the outskirts of the north side of the village. Hmm, the situation here is more complicated, but let's count it as you collectively completing the kill of one enemy. In this way, each of you will be rewarded with one Silver Coin. The drivers who drove the carts also get one, and besides, Xueya Site, you also have one yourself."

Jier said with a smile.

As for the enemy with the complicated situation that Jier mentioned, it naturally referred to that Defeated Soldier who inexplicably blew himself up. This matter was inexplicably strange, but being able to stop the opponent and make them blow themselves up for whatever reason, the drivers' obstruction clearly contributed to the effort.

Xueya Site smiled and counted out the Silver Coins according to the number of people who went into battle, handed them to those drivers, and finally took out one Silver Coin himself, showed it to everyone, and put it into the inner pocket of his clothes.

Xueya Site actually didn't care about this bit of income; after all, his participation in Jier's operation this time was mainly to repay the favor of Jier saving his life. How could a favor be calculated in money?

But at this moment, Jier was conducting post-battle rewards in front of everyone for the first time, which was a very important process of team organization and construction. At this time, he could not cause trouble for Jier. Since Jier asked him to take the money, he would take it boldly and with peace of mind.

"After the team merged, I took down the guard post at the east gate of the village myself, and warriors, you, the enemies you killed later were the two enemies guarding the Grain Warehouse gate. This was killed by everyone together. Weier prevented them from setting a fire, so he received an extra two Silver Coins, while the other warriors who participated in the battle received rewards ranging from one Silver Coin to fifty Copper Coins."

There were too many people participating in the killing of these two people, and everyone swarmed up and drowned them, so the battle reward could only be split among everyone.

The warriors Jier named were all given a Silver Coin by Xueya Site, while the other warriors who were grouped together were given a handful of Copper Coins.

It took quite a while for everyone to be given fifty Copper Coins, and then there was the battle against the enemy reinforcements outside the Grain Warehouse.

"There is nothing to say about this battle; the enemy's weapons and equipment were better, and we had more people, so it was normal for the battle to be intense. Especially since the enemy's combat martial arts were stronger than the soldiers on guard on the wall, which brought difficulties to the battle. Everyone will have the enemy's new equipment later, but you also need to work hard to train your martial arts and improve yourselves. Strength, stamina, combat flexibility, moves against the enemy, defense, etc., all need to be further strengthened."

"As for the rewards, Priest Bata'er killed the first enemy alone, so he is rewarded with one Gold Coin."

Xueya Site hurriedly walked up to hand the Gold Coin to the Priest, and the Priest still let the Villager hold the money.

"And although the archers on the roof failed to kill the enemy, they played a role in delaying and entangling the enemy, so you also have merit; the three of you get one Silver Coin each."

The archers breathed a sigh of relief; with one silver coin each, they finally didn't have to calculate who got more money and who got less.

"As for the enemies I killed myself, and the enemies my warhorse killed, I won't count the bounty for those here. Let me see, ah, we did capture one enemy at the time."

Jier pointed to a corpse not far away; after the battle ended, Jier had killed this person. This Defeated Soldier had a stubborn mouth and a hard heart, and after Jier had the Priest release the control of the Hupo Changzhang, seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the other party, he directly killed the enemy.

"Although I couldn't ask anything out of him later, he was a captive after all, so Bata'er Jiaoshi is rewarded with one Gold Coin and five Silver Coins!"

Capturing an enemy is worth 1.5 times the reward for killing an enemy; this is the conclusion Jier reached after consideration. It cannot be too much, so that the Warriors won't slow down the battle rhythm specifically to capture enemies, but it also cannot be too little; if there isn't a single captive in future battles and the enemies are all killed by the Warriors, that won't do either.

Therefore, Jier set a reward ratio of 1.5 times.

When possible, Warriors can choose to capture enemies, but if the number of enemies is large, the extra energy spent capturing enemies is far less practical than killing two more enemies.

Such an arrangement can improve combat efficiency, which can be considered the result of Jier's careful deliberation.

As for not setting the reward for captives higher, it is because Jier does not like to sell people after catching them, or let them redeem themselves; it is too troublesome. He is not a Bandit who robs the road, and he doesn't rely on this to make money.

Xueya Site displayed the money and handed it to the Priest, and Bata'er Jiaoshi immediately handed the money to the Villagers.

"Next is the enemy Jiedian on the north side, where Bata'er Jiaoshi killed an enemy Soldier, rewarded with one Gold Coin." Just as Jier finished speaking, the Priest interrupted: "Warrior Jier, that enemy was tied to a table by their companions, anyone could have killed him, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to take this reward, right?"

Jier smiled, thinking of that guy's appearance; it was all thanks to him, and he felt even more joyful in his heart.

"The enemy tied up their own people, but the one tied up is still an enemy. This has nothing to do with the enemy's condition, but rather the enemy's identity and who killed him. Take this Gold Coin."

After speaking, Jier waved his hand, Xueya Site stepped forward to hand the Gold Coin to the Priest, and the Priest accepted it helplessly.

"Next, in the Jiedian, Weier killed a Defeated Soldier who was preparing to attack the Villagers, rewarded with one Gold Coin!"

Weier took the initiative to step forward to receive the Gold Coin and showed it to the others.

"Next is the battle in the Nongshen Church. Many people participated in this battle, but Weier was able to flexibly think of using the enemy's Heavy Crossbow, which is worth encouraging; he killed an enemy, so he is rewarded with one Gold Coin!"

Weier didn't even leave, accepting another Gold Coin on the spot, which caused the crowd to discuss it heatedly.

Only then did Weier smile, holding several Gold Coins between his fingers, showing them to the people around him, and returned to where he had been staying.

As soon as he sat down, a Warrior curiously leaned over and whispered to ask Weier how he was so capable.

This kind of treatment was something Weier had never had before; he took a deep breath, knowing his performance had yielded results, and happily told the Warrior who spoke to him about his thoughts during the battle.

"The last Gold Coin, ha, because it was an enemy hacked to death by everyone, the Warriors who participated in the attack on the Church can all share a few dozen copper coins. Don't complain that it's too little; it's because the enemy was strong that I set the reward for killing the enemy so high this time. In the future, if we deal with ordinary Bandits or something, we won't give such a high reward."

"At most one Silver Coin per Bandit?"

Jier made a joke, finally ending the post-battle kill reward session.
