By noon, all five groups of fifteen teams had completed a round trip.

A total of twenty-one civilians died under the attack of the Siena garrison, and twenty-eight died under Ladislaus's harsh military law.

All casualties were concentrated in the first three rounds.

The first reason for the decrease in civilian casualties is that the revolving crossbow is actually designed to deal with siege infantry wearing leather armor. It is a huge loss to shoot civilians. After only three rounds of shooting, Commander Petrucci no longer made this loss.

's bought and sold.

The two groups of six civilians in the back were only shot by bows, arrows and magic missiles.

Secondly, Ladislaus publicly rewarded Kelal for his heroic behavior that "exceeded the requirements", that is, he carried back his old cousin.

Although his behavior of relieving the pain of his teammates also satisfied Ladislaus, it can even be said that Ladislaus valued his ferocity more, but the public relations promotion was not suitable, and the team spirit was more in line with Archbishop Ladislaus of Liguria.

Lord Dislaus's public appearance.

In the subsequent reverse runs, the injured were able to get help from their teammates. Although everyone except Kelal only got one silver taler, this still made these farmers very excited.

Ladislaus even had lunch with ten of the best-performing peasants.

Of course, this is also a propaganda statement. In fact, after Sirica cut a piece of meat from a roasted whole lamb to Ladislaus, the other meat was distributed to the advanced workers of filling the river.

Of course, Keilar is one of them. This is not the first time Keilar has eaten mutton. Although he can’t remember the last time he ate it, Keilar is quite sure that after his aunt’s old goat died of illness, he distributed it to

Their family had a leg of lamb, which was why Keilal desperately tried to save his aunt's son.

But this is undoubtedly the first time in Kelar's life that he has eaten food with enough salt. Although the Republic of Siena is also a coastal country, the Tyrrhenian Sea is relatively deep and has low salt content, so it is not conducive to

To make salt, you need to import salt from the Church of Rome.

There are brine lakes near the city of Rome that have produced salt since the ancient Roman Empire. In the ancient Roman era, the output of these brine lakes could not supply the city of Rome with a population of one million at its peak. The Roman consuls finally built a road leading to the east.

The salt road of the Adriatic Sea also supplies table salt. At this time, because the Adriatic Sea is relatively shallow and the water contains high salt content, it is conducive to refining table salt.

But now the population of Rome is only 40,000. The salt production of those brine lakes not only supplies Rome, but can also be exported to surrounding countries. These brine lakes are controlled by the Colonna and Orsini families respectively.

These two local snakes are the foundation of their lives.

For farmers in the Republic of Siena, due to the low amount of salt produced in the country, and the fact that the aristocrats of the Republic of Siena are no different from those elsewhere, they impose heavy taxes on salt, and even the richer farmers have to produce large amounts of it.

In exchange for salt, farmers like Kelar rarely have to rent part of their land to have enough food, and they are reluctant to buy half a pack of salt all year round.

Nobles like Anna could eat more than a dozen spices in one meal without thinking about it, but for these farmers, just having salty food was a dream come true.

Ladislaus, who felt painful about all this, felt that in his previous life as Li Di, he seemed to occasionally make some homemade soy sauce as a petty bourgeois entertainment. However, like the memories of other lives, all the details were very strange.

Fuzzy, he could only shake his head and stop worrying. After all, his current strength is still so weak, and he is not qualified to think about "being great and benefiting the world". By the way, what's the point of being poor?

I can't remember either.

Because he was thinking, the mutton in Ladislaus' hands tasted nothing at all.

Most of the people smelled the aroma of roasted mutton and drank vegetable soup.

Moreover, the food of the Roman soldiers was not much better than theirs. It was just a mutton skeleton with the meat cut off and thrown into the pot where the Roman soldiers drank soup, which gave the soldiers a sense of superiority in front of the civilian husbands.

However, the morale of the people is also a little better than in the morning. They are no longer just afraid of the round trip in the afternoon, but have a little hope. It is a good trend to open low and go high.

Among all the civilians, the one with the highest morale is Keilard. Just now when Ladislaus praised him for "bravely rescuing his comrades," he admitted with great trepidation that he only had such courage because he was a relative of his.

But the kind-hearted Archbishop not only did not take back the gold coin, but also praised his honesty again.

"Honesty to the lord and to the superior is one of the noblest virtues. This is loyalty. Keilal, you are a loyal person, Silica, please cut another piece of meat for Keilal."

Boss Sirica picked up a handful of salt and sprinkled it on the roasted lamb again with a generous attitude that made all farmers sad. Then he cut off the best piece of meat near the bone with a dagger and handed it to Kelal.

But after Keilal took it tremblingly, he did not eat the piece of meat.

Ladislaus, who found that his memory was fuzzy and decided not to think about it anymore, looked at the farmer in front of him and thought: "Kelar, are your family members also in the back camp? Do you want to bring meat to them?

"

"Master, the Archbishop, my wife, two children, and my mother have never eaten such delicious meat. I want them all to eat something so delicious." I was scared at first, but

After talking about his family, Keilal seemed to have found the rhythm of his speech, and no longer even mixed it with the village dialect.

"Very good, you are very good." Ladislaus, who had never been too close to his family in his two lives, was filled with anger at his cruelty for a moment. Why, why is this?

But this kind of emotion can only exist for a moment. "All things compete and make decisions in the dark. I am just a small dust in history. Keilal, try not to die. You eat this piece of meat. In the afternoon

You are so strong, old John, go find Kelal a leather armor and a leather helmet, and give his family a bag of wheat and a bag of salt."

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the first sentence of the archbishop in front of him, even the illiterate Kelal could understand the reward that followed.

Keilal was so excited that he could not speak for such a generous gift. He just knelt down and kowtowed continuously.

"You have all seen that I will never be lenient with cowardice, and I will never be stingy with bravery. Not only food and armor, but those who perform well can also join His Majesty the Pope's army, and even be allocated land, rivers

The land around you that can be irrigated by canals, the land that can feed your family and still have a surplus, the glory and wealth are all under your own feet!" Ladislaus no longer allowed those weak feelings to entangle in his heart, but took advantage of them.

He showed his courage and continued to intimidate and incite.
