Little did Nalant know that he just didn't have anything to give, so he randomly picked a fairly 'decent' gift, which made Taffy, an aristocratic lady, excited and full of speculations.
He and Boris traveled day and night, and Nalant returned to the Storm Territory in just two days.
"Ah! Look, the lord is back!"
"It's really Lord Lord!"
"I have seen the lord, the lord is mighty!"
"I have seen the lord, the lord is mighty!"
When he returned to the Storm Territory, the battlefield outside the castle had been cleared, and all the deep ditches and arrow towers had been demolished.
However, although the venue had been restored to its original state, when he arrived outside the castle, he was surrounded by a sea of people, at least thousands of people.
After seeing him, all the serfs knelt on the ground and offered greetings and cheers excitedly.
No wonder these serfs were so excited. They had not personally experienced the invasion of dark creatures a few days ago even though they were hiding on the grassland.
But after returning to the territory the next day, he learned about this incident and saw with his own eyes the pile of skeletons and corpses forming a hill outside the castle.
Especially the corpse of the three-headed hell dog placed outside the castle at this moment.
They could imagine that if the lord hadn't made arrangements in advance and killed these dark creatures, none of them would have survived until the next day.
Now, in the eyes of these serfs, their master is almost a god.
Not only does he have the kindness and kindness of the gods, but he can also protect their safety.
Especially the natives of the Storm Territory worship Nalant even more.
They were clearly in a hurry. This was the fourth time that the Lord had protected them from the invasion of dark creatures, and no one in the territory had lost their lives.
Such deeds may only be possible by gods.
However, it should be said that they did better than the gods, because in the past two years, they also prayed to the gods to protect them every day, but people in the territory continued to starve to death and freeze to death and were killed by dark creatures.
"Well, everyone, get up! Go back early after a while, the weather is so cold, don't get caught in the cold!"
Seeing the enthusiastic welcome from the serfs, Nalant also timely lowered the attitude of the lord to the lowest level.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness!"
When the serfs in the field heard such words, many of them's eyes turned red, and they were moved to tears by the lord's concern.
"The lord is truly the most benevolent nobleman. I hope that with the blessing of the gods, Lord Nalant can always be our lord!"
"Yes, I hope God will bless you so that Lord Nalant will always be our lord." Nalant led the guards slowly up the gentle slope, and then the serfs stood up one after another, and then there were constant whispers from the crowd. Make a wish.
With Nalant's ear, he also heard these words. Although he had deliberately tried to win over the people before, he still felt proud to receive such words.
At the very least, I believe that in this continent, other than myself, no matter how friendly other lords are to the people, they cannot be as sincere and considerate of the people as I am, so that the people can truly feel the goodness of the territory.
…
"Sir, welcome to your triumphant return!" As soon as he stepped into the vestibule of the castle, he was still greeted warmly by Butler Thomas.
"Well, Thomas, have you settled things with Lord Castle?" Nalant's castle gate completely collapsed that night, so the door openings are wide open at the moment.
"Sir, I have already trained the craftsmen, and they will re-forge and install the gate for the castle as quickly as possible!"
"very good!"
Nalant nodded and immediately ordered people to call the guard captains before entering the inner fort.
"Sir, after you left, Captain Raymond and I spent a day cleaning up the battlefield. In total, we picked up more than 1,800 long swords, axes and other weapons, as well as 300 pieces of tattered leather armor and a One hundred and twenty pairs of armor."
"There are thirty-five usable long swords and twenty-seven pieces of armor. These are the inscribed weapons and equipment you mentioned!"
In the hall, all the captains gathered. Natasha, who was staying in the castle this time, was the first to speak and reported to Nalant.
"Well, not bad, how's the effect?" Nalant's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Sir, although the thirty-five long swords have inscriptions, they are just sharper and stronger than ordinary long swords."
"And most of the armors are weight-reducing. Only one piece has the effect of reducing weight and being slightly harder!"
"Well, not bad!" Nalant was not disappointed when he heard this.
This is the first time that I have obtained so many inscribed equipment at once in this glorious continent.
Among these inscribed equipment, there is a piece of equipment with relatively complete functions. It is definitely even more rare. It not only reduces the weight, but also increases the defense power. This piece of equipment is definitely worth more than a hundred gold coins.
After all, this can already be regarded as a family heirloom. Even ordinary inscribed armor only costs ten gold coins each.
The total value of Nalant's inscribed weapons and armors is definitely five hundred gold coins, which is considered a big gain.
What's more important is that these inscribed equipment are priceless in the Glory Continent.
After all, in the past, the arrival of dark creatures was rare. Who could be like Nalant's Storm Territory, where more than two thousand came at one time, and the most important thing was that his grandmother was wiped out by Nalant.
After talking about the spoils, there was actually nothing else to report. As for the casualties, Nalant had calculated them before he left that night.
After all, the injured must be counted immediately.
The casualty statistics obtained after statistics are very gratifying. Thirty-five people were seriously injured, more than 80 people were slightly injured, and no one died.
The reason why it is so gratifying is that, in addition to Nalant's preparations, Winnie, the lucky girl, is very powerful.
Otherwise, according to normal circumstances, even if Nalant still formed a medical team, at least two-thirds of the seriously injured people would die.
"Okay, the statistics are done, now let's talk about the rewards!"
"This time, both you and the ordinary guards have proven your loyalty and courage to the Lord!"
"So my lord has decided that all barbarian guards will be rewarded with a new building!"
"Thank you for the gift!" Upon hearing Nalant's words, the two barbarian captains Raymond and Dashi immediately knelt down on the ground in excitement.
That is an extremely comfortable noble building.
Once upon a time, barbarians like them still lived in shabby tents and wore shabby animal skins on the grasslands. They had to worry about food and various dangers all year round.
However, they have only joined the Storm Territory for just six months. Not only do the clan members not have to worry about food and drink, some of them can now live in small buildings. This is definitely their luck.
"Well, get up, Raymond, you barbarian guards deserve this!"
After speaking, Nalant looked at the two newly joined guard captains.
"You will tell all the spear guards later that I will fulfill my promise to you, sir. I will send a caravan in the next few days to find a way to bring all your families over!"
"Yes, thank you for your kindness!"
Without any other unnecessary rewards, this one alone made the two captains burst into tears of gratitude.
Because the cost of bringing their family back from the Northern Principality is not low.
This involves two hostile countries. Not only do they have to find a way to find the person, but they also have to find a way to get the other party's nobles to let go and then take him back. This will definitely cost a lot of money.
In fact, with such a large amount of money, one can buy dead warrior slaves.
"Vivian, you will inform the distant attack team and the long archer team later. The original guards of the Storm Territory will also be rewarded with a brand-new building, and the guards from the Northern Principality will also be rewarded for them. Take the family!”
"Yes, sir!" Vivian immediately accepted the order.
"As for you and the Storm Riders!" Nalant looked at the lucky girls, plus Quick.
"Sir, we don't need rewards. Being able to follow you is already our greatest luck!" Seeing this situation, several lucky girls immediately refused to speak out.
The girls now live a worry-free life. They have their share of whatever delicious food and drink their adults have.
Even the family has no worries about food and drink, so they really have no other needs. Even Bessie, who has just joined, Narant will prepare a brand new small building for her grandfather, Old White.
Quik, on the other hand, did not speak. This was not because he was greedy, but because he could not refuse on behalf of other Storm Riders.
Similarly, after serving in the army for many years, he knows that not rewarding military exploits without rewards is definitely not a wise choice.
He, Quick, can guarantee that he will remain loyal to his master for the rest of his life even if there is no reward, but what about his subordinates? Will they have other ideas in the future?
Therefore, in order to avoid unforeseen problems, this reward is still needed.
And Quick also knows that even if he refuses, his master will definitely not be stingy and will not reward him, so it is better not to be pretentious.
Sure enough, I just heard my master say: "Vivian, Catherine, Shirley, Winnie, Bessie, I don't have anything else to reward you, so just use gold coins!"
"Each of you will be rewarded with ten gold coins. In the future, the number of caravans in the territory will gradually increase. Buy whatever you like!" Nalant thought for a moment and decided to simply reward him with gold coins.
"Don't refuse, this is an adult's decision. Even if you don't buy anything, you can still save it as private money!"
Seeing that the women were about to refuse, Nalant blocked them and blocked them.
Then he looked at Quik: "Quick, I have already decided on the reward for you Knights of the Storm. Each of you has a set of inscribed swords and armor, and each of you will receive an additional gold coin!"
"Inscribed armor, long sword, and gold coins!" Quick trembled when he heard it.
Even after they got the armor and sword, they still fought for the adults.
But things can't be calculated that way. Even if the adults don't give them equipment, they still have to fight.
But with this equipment, it is their own lives that are protected.
Therefore, the market price of this long sword with inscriptions is five gold coins, and the market price of this sword with inscription armor is ten gold coins, plus an additional reward of one gold coin.
This is actually more than twice as generous as the rewards given by Vivian, Shirley and others.
"Thank you for your generosity, sir. Quick and the knight team will definitely work hard to practice and clear out all enemies for you!" Quick immediately half-knelt on the ground.
"Okay, get up!" Nalant nodded, "Except for Da Shitou and a few girls, you all go down and inform your subordinates. Later in the evening, the adults will hold a celebration dinner in the tavern of Maiye Village! "
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, a group of men pushed out, leaving only the big rocks and a few lucky girls.
"Big Shitou, sir, there is a task for you to complete!"
"My lord, please give me your instructions. I will definitely try my best to complete the task!" Da Shitou immediately said respectfully.
"This mission is about the Fiery Grassland. Last time, a large number of grassland animals fled to the edge, indicating that there were changes and crises in the grassland animals!"
"So my lord is going to let you take this personal guard to the depths of the grassland to find out what happened!"
"However, this matter is very dangerous. Are you willing to do it, Big Stone?"
"Sir, this subordinate will swear allegiance to you to the death. Don't worry, I will find out what's going on on the grassland!" Da Shitou didn't hesitate at all. ,
No one is more suitable than barbarians like them to go to the grassland to investigate the situation. Moreover, they are still personal guards and have received a lot of training in this area. .
"Okay, Big Stone, then I'll leave this matter to the guards. Have a good celebration dinner tonight, and wait for you to set off again tomorrow. Then take the wolf king with you. In addition, you will also ask Xiao Huihui to You warned me!"
Nalant nodded, believing that with the assistance of Wolf King and Xiao Huihui, the safety of Da Shitou and others should not be too much of a threat.
"Yes, sir!" Da Shitou immediately accepted the order.
