Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

#105 - The Knights' Excitement and Support

Originally, Su Li didn't have high expectations for gold coin gains. As far as he knew, the common currency of goblins and greenskins wasn't gold coins, but their teeth.

The more powerful an orc, the more teeth it possessed. Goblins, on the other hand, were more cunning, possessing more teeth because they would always sneakily steal the wealth of those not-so-smart orcs.

Some particularly clever and insidious ones would even flexibly use their status and skills to induce strong and powerful orcs to obey their orders.

In addition, they also liked to exploit the grotz, who were weaker than them in the tribe. These were the smallest members of greenskin society, with brains the size of peas (and intelligence to match), like a group of eternally energetic, fanatical, and uncontrollable little pets, parasitizing in greenskin settlements. They cleaned up garbage and feces, and stole everything small. They were the community's "scavengers," living off food scraps and bones, and always joyfully hiding their found "treasures" in their caves.

Orcs especially liked these little guys, treating them like naughty little pets. Some orcs even captured some grotz to make them perform shows, or trained them to complete some tasks. The smartest grotz could even act as servants, such as scratching the orc's back where they couldn't reach. But they wouldn't be assigned any truly meaningful work.

However, goblins despised and hated grotz, because they also had the habit of stealing things, but goblins found it difficult to steal when a group of grotz surrounded the orcs. More troublesome was that these little beasts had the habit of telling tales and tattling to the orcs, pointing out goblin thefts. They also revealed the location of buried stolen goods and performed pantomimes of witnessed murder scenes. Then, in order to escape the goblins' revenge, the grotz would run between the orc's legs to hide, and the latter would soon vent their anger on the goblins. And goblins would seize every opportunity to abuse these little beasts.

But no matter what, goblins were usually the richest in a tribe. They cheated and swindled those above them, stole from the orcs, and exploited and abused the grotz below them, and excavated their treasure caves.

If Su Li went to the forest in the future and found the goblin territory, he could make a fortune just by relying on the intelligence system to reveal the location of the treasure caves.

But Vandal's answer surprised him.

"Lord, in terms of gold coins, we didn't gain much, only about 200 gold crowns, most of which were decorations on the orcs and goblins, together with human skulls, knuckles, and other decorations. It seems that they were spoils of war obtained when they fought with forest bandits or caravan guards."

"But we found more than 150 dwarf oath golds! This tribe must have dug tunnels to reach a dwarf fortress somewhere and won."

150 dwarf oath golds!

Su Li's eyes were filled with surprise, the value of this dwarf oath gold was too high.

It could be exchanged for a large number of precious items from various dwarf guilds, and excellent, perfect, and even rare equipment could be directly bought with dwarf oath gold!

Even at the roughest exchange rate, this could be exchanged for 1500 Imperial gold crowns!

But of course Su Li wouldn't do such a waste of resources. This was the dwarf's oath gold. Dwarves valued oaths the most. If he had enough oath gold in his hand, he could even directly buy a dwarf territory in the Gray Mountains and make them his vassals and dependents.

Then he could have them forge whatever equipment he needed.

This was a legitimate annexation. The relationship between the dwarves and the Empire in this world was closer than in any other world. The Empire's state religion directly wrote aiding the dwarves into its core doctrine.

Militarily, the two sides often formed joint armies to fight against evil. In terms of internal affairs, the Empire's knights were not good at development, and a large number of dwarf engineers helped build water conservancy projects and develop cities in various territories.

So if he could build a good relationship with the dwarves, the value would not be comparable to 1500 gold crowns.

Vandal put all the gold crowns and oath golds into the big boxes on the carriage, and then continued to introduce to Su Li: "In addition to gold coins, our gains in weapons and equipment are also extremely large. These greenskins can use any readily available materials as weapons, and some of them are even made of valuable gold. After we return to the fire, we can obtain at least 6000 pounds of iron and 100 pounds of gold."

6000 pounds of iron, enough to make 50 sets of fine plate armor, this income is indeed very considerable.

It's just a pity that the territory doesn't have the right to mint coins, and the value of the minted gold coins is not high, probably only one-third of the gold crown. Otherwise, this 100 pounds of gold could bring him a lot of income.

Perhaps selling this gold to Maleburg is a good choice. If the territory discovers gold mines in the future, it can also be a good income.

While Su Li was thinking, Vandal continued: "There are many other things left, including valuable seeds, ores, and some special props. These goblins can always find some good things in the forest, but we need to sort them out slowly when we go back."

Su Li nodded, and then said to the military commander Knight Erstein on the side: "My commander, although victory is joyful, don't forget to enforce military discipline strictly. The wealth I give them is theirs. If I don't give it, they can't rob it. Anyone who hides spoils of war privately will be executed on the spot once discovered."

"As for rewards, I will generously reward everyone with 20% of the spoils of war after the Lord of the Seal sorts them out."

The lord's majesty cannot be challenged.

They can only take anything in this territory if Su Li opens his mouth.

If the rules are followed, wealth will naturally never be treated badly.

Even Knight Erstein was moved by this huge reward, and he said excitedly: "Praise Lord for your generosity, your virtues will be praised by the goddess."

20% of the spoils of war will be distributed to everyone!

This 20% does not include slaves or armed attendants, it only refers to the dozens of knights in the territory.

Slaves are not qualified to receive spoils of war and rewards. Being exempted from slave status is already the lord's kindness and generosity.

The rewards for the armed attendants are distributed by their lords. The knights will take one or two tenths of the rewards to reward them.

This means that on average, each knight may receive more than a dozen gold coins in this battle, which is equivalent to one or two months' salary for elite knights, and one or two years of struggle for trainee knights!

After all, the income of this battle will not be less than 5000 gold crowns no matter what!

When Knight Erstein announced this news, the entire position instantly boiled.

According to the tradition of the nineteenth tax, knights can get 10% of the spoils of war, which is not bad. Now the lord doubles their rewards, and they immediately enthusiastically support the lord's orders.

If any ignorant armed attendant dares to steal or hide anything, the knights will immediately let them know the consequences!

After all, for every gold coin the armed attendants steal, the knights will lose two silver coins in income.

And the stronger the knight, the more the loss.

Because although it is said that each knight can get more than a dozen gold crowns on average, the rewards cannot really be completely evenly distributed.

If a serf and the lord are averaged, there are still 2500 gold coins of property.

The distribution of spoils of war must be related to the strength and merits of the war. In this regard, the Lord of the Seal, Ron, will record in detail and complete the distribution plan.

Like those powerful knights, such as Military Commander Erstein, who arranged tactics and completed extremely effective decapitation tactics, made great contributions, and the rewarded wealth is naturally more, at least equivalent to six or seven months of his salary.

According to his contribution and strength, with the territory's current booming vitality and extremely high efficiency, it is obviously very reasonable to pay him 16 or 18 months' salary. If a qualified monarch doesn't even have the courage to generously reward this, he will commit suicide in Jiangdong like Xiang Yu sooner or later. Still want to ascend to the throne like Liu Bang?

In this way, he alone can take away nearly a hundred gold coins.

Other elite knights can also get tens of gold coins each.

A large number of knights had smiles on their faces, and they gathered together to talk enthusiastically. Today is really a good day. The Lord was right, today is a good day, a sacred day! Those who survive today and return home safely will be in awe every time they mention today in the future.

The knights are not responsible for cleaning the filthy battlefield. It is the armed attendants and slaves who do these hard and tiring things.

Looking at the tall knights with their arms folded in front of their chests, talking proudly, and looking around the battlefield, the yearning in the hearts of every armed attendant reached its peak!

Knight! That is the privilege and honor of this empire.

Everyone is eagerly eager to squeeze into this class.

While some knights were smiling and talking, some people had intense sadness on their faces and were kneeling on the battlefield praying for their dead comrades.

Hilde walked up to Su Li with a solemn face and a low voice: "Lord, the casualty statistics are out."

"We lost 145 people in this battle, including 84 slaves, 17 knights directly under your command, including one elite knight, 3 official knights, and 13 trainee knights."

"Also... there is sad news, your first attendant, Leif, has died in battle."

The smile on Su Li's face disappeared instantly. He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

17 knights! These are all brave knights loyal to him.

Their charge shines on the sun and the moon, and their momentum is magnificent. It is they who trampled on the greenskin's phalanx time and time again, compressing the enemy's formation, so that our side can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

But on this glorious and victorious battlefield, 17 knights and their broken longswords fell together on this blood-stained battlefield.

And Leif, that cute little girl with a bun face.

Su Li remembers very clearly that she was the first attendant he obtained. Although she had a very broad mind, and every step was accompanied by violent aftershocks, she was a very cautious girl in her heart. Even when betting with Su Li, she carefully placed bets, calculated everything, and ensured that she might not make a big profit, but she would never lose.

But such a cautious girl was wearing fine plate armor and fighting fearlessly, charging again and again into the monster's huge phalanx, and finally fell honorably on the road of charge.

She has been promoted to an intermediate trainee knight. If she does not die, she may become a great elite knight in the future, with her own resounding title.

Su Li wanted to blame her, why not be more cautious, why not stay behind.

But he also knew that his idea was wrong.

It is precisely because there are a large number of knights like her who bravely charge for themselves and fight desperately that the territory can have this hard-won victory.

If every knight shrinks back from the war, how can the territory's shock knights be fearless, charge again and again, and break through the enemy's solid phalanx?

So Su Li sighed and said to Hilde: "Let the soldiers take care of the knights' remains. I will personally preside over their funeral, award them the Purple Bauhinia Victory Medal, and bury them in the Heroic Cemetery behind the castle, and send someone to guard their tombs."
