In Pendor Continent, death benefit is a treatment that only a very small number of warriors can receive.

Usually only the knights and knights' retinues under the lord, or the warriors of the territory who have sworn allegiance to him and brought their own equipment to serve can get it - it depends on whether the lord is a generous and kind person.

Klose and the dozen or so people from Mettenheim were bought by Li Ang. They were originally slaves.

Although the macho men swore allegiance to Li Ang to their 'Iron God', which seemed to be a very formal warrior loyalty process, they were still essentially just Li Ang's personal servants.

After all, before Li Ang's territory was established, none of them were citizens of the kingdom. Except for Klose, a formal officer who was appointed by Li Ang as the charge captain, everyone else could only be regarded as a kind of 'property' at present.

——In this era, servants are private property, the same thing as Alice, the golden-maned horse...and most likely not as valuable as Alice...

It's just that Li Ang didn't treat them as servants.

The crossbowmen hired by Li Ang were just professional mercenaries who were paid to do things, and were not truly loyal to him.

Mercenary combat is a transaction, life and death on the battlefield are determined by fate, and all consequences should be borne by both parties themselves.

Therefore, whether he is a servant or a mercenary, Li Ang actually does not need to pay pensions.

Most nobles would not waste their money on these 'outsiders'.

However, as a lord with higher pursuits and a member of the Celestial Dynasty, Li Ang is naturally different from the Pende nobles.

This is not because Li Ang is so noble that he has transcended vulgar tastes, nor is it to make himself appear so generous and kind - he does not intend to become a paladin who combines the eight virtues.

This is just for morale and safety.

Only warriors who have no worries can unleash their full capabilities.

For these mercenaries who are struggling to make a living on the battlefield, the biggest worry is how their families will live once they die in battle...

This is also the reason why mercenaries can often only fight with favorable conditions.

Besides, if Faucher can bribe the militia captain in the Earl of Oden's territory, then others can naturally bribe the people in Li Ang's team...

Li Ang didn't want to be stabbed in the back.

Although you are so poor that you can be tricked and deceived everywhere, you must not be stingy when it comes to spending money.

Besides, isn't it about to make money right now...

He just didn't know how much loot there would be, but Li Ang was somewhat looking forward to it.

Soon, the loot was counted.

In addition to the prisoners, the spoils of this battle include more than a dozen sets of various chain armors and robes, more than a dozen sets of leather armor, as well as some spears and infantry swords.

There are also five horses.

Li Ang was not sure how much the scrap metal could be sold for, but the value of the five horses alone would never be less than a thousand dinars.

The money comes in pretty quickly...

The half-year match-fixing business in the arena was not worth the income from this trip.

Sure enough, I have a gold belt for murder and arson. I will do more of this kind of 'bandit suppression' business in the future...

However, the things here are not finished yet, there is still one unfinished business.

Auden's request was to eliminate the 'bandits' - which has now been done.

As for the patrol captain in Fletcher Village who betrayed Oden, Liang didn't want to care about it. Cleaning the house and other tasks were other people's housework, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Moreover, if there is a conflict with the militia of the count, who knows what will happen... The old village chief doesn't seem to have a very bright mind.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to go to Oden to do business with the information about this traitor.

But Ralph, the commander of the garrison in Longhe Town, still has a piece of business to complete.

Build a nomadic camp and wait for Ralph to destroy the Jatu cavalry and help Ralph complete the frame-up. This is the deal he made with Bearded Ralph.

Although the profit of this transaction seems to be a little higher, it is based on the premise of voluntary consent of both parties...

Although the service provider Li Ang is not very friendly in terms of price, he will definitely get the job done if he promises.

After all, in Li Ang's view, no matter what time or place, credit should be the foundation of a man's life.

As for the process before negotiating the price...

Ahem...that's just a necessary marketing tool.

Considering that he would be waiting for Ralph's arrival here, Li Ang decided not to return to Changhe Town yet and would stay in this camp temporarily for two days.

After all, there were wounded in the team, and most of the prisoners had lost their ability to move.

He planned to send two uninjured strong men from Mettenheim back to Longhe Town, bring part of the loot to businesswoman Leslie and cash it in, and bring a message to Ralph along the way.

But after thinking about it carefully, he called Sarah over.

"Sarah, you are probably the only one besides me who can deceive...well, the only one who can guide Ralph correctly. You take a few people back to Longhe Town and do another business with Ralph..."

Li Ang rubbed his chin and carefully considered his words.

"Sir, you just knocked... you just slaughtered... ahem... you just got a large amount of building materials and so many carpenters, and you want to attack Ralph again? Sir, are your demands too frequent..."

Sarah covered her forehead and carefully considered her words.

She, who had always been sharp-tongued, actually stuttered a bit at this moment.

Klose, who was next to him, passed by the two of them and probably heard the last sentence. He looked at Sarah and then at Leon with a strange expression, and then quickly ran into the camp and made a picture of helping Anson deal with the wounded.

Look.

But the problem is...this guy knows nothing about medical treatment.

Moreover, he looked very sneaky at Li Ang and Sarah from time to time.

Li Ang looked at Sarah with a dark look, only to find that Sarah was also looking at him with an embarrassed look on her face.

The face is still a little red.

Well, this is not the place to talk about such secretive topics...

So the two of them left the camp at the same time with a tacit understanding, and rode horses for a slow walk nearby.

"Sarah, as you said before, I will not stay in this place directly facing the Jatu people for a long time. Therefore, I want to sell this camp to Ralph."

Li Ang turned back and pointed at the camp, and then couldn't help gritting his teeth and shaking his fist in a threatening gesture - Klose, Anson, and several bandaged men were hiding by the stables of the camp and watching from a distance.

But the small stable pillars could not hide their huge size.

Seeing Li Ang pumping his fist, these guys dispersed in a hurry.

"Leave them alone...Sir..."

Sarah shook her head and tried to persuade her. It was just a misunderstanding caused by the wrong choice of words. Besides, she didn't care at all.

"But, sir, why did Ralph buy this camp? If it is to be transformed into a nomadic camp for the Jatu people, as you said, that should also be your job... After all, the last transaction has not been completed yet.

…”

External relations affairs fall within the serious business scope of Sarah, a foreign affairs officer, so she seems to be very serious.

"This depends on Hu... oh no, guidance. Ralph is probably a commoner in Longhe Town. I didn't see his flag in his garrison hall - only the double lion shield of Earl Oden was hung there."

Li Ang said firmly.

"No way... Sir, doesn't he call himself Knight Commander? Such a claim is not something he would say casually..."
