Chapter 16 Shift Work
In the evening, the setting sun was slanting in the sky, and the warm sun lay lazily on the blue city wall.

When Master Shire came back today, Old Mark brought the people in the fortress to greet him early, except for the servants of the Noxus family, and most of the residents of Winter Fortress.

The good news of victory was sent back to Winter Fortress early on, and a large group of people spontaneously came to welcome the victor without the need for old Mark to organize.

The defeat of the orcs means that there will be no risk of orcs invading south in the next few years, and the people of Winter Fortress can go hunting in farther places. This is a good thing related to the interests of everyone in Winter Fortress.

Finally, the shadow of human beings appeared on the distant horizon. It went from far to near, and arrived in front of the cold winter fortress in a short while.

Compared with before the expedition, this army is more calm and ruthless. They just need to stand there, without any unnecessary actions, or take out their sharp spears, and you can know that this is an elite army .

At that time, there were only more than 1000 people when the troops were sent out, but now when they came back, the number had increased by nearly five times, and there were more than 4000 orcs.The hands of these orcs were trapped together, and finally connected with a thick linen rope.

A few soldiers from the Noxus family can take care of dozens of tauren.

These tauren lost the aggressiveness they used to have as invaders, and their eyes were dull, as if the whole cow had lost its vigor.

Behind the army was a group of white seas, and everyone saw the flock of sheep following the army. The soldiers of the Noxus family carried long whips, and with just a slight wave, the cattle and sheep followed. Forward.

People have more confidence in Winter Fortress and the Noxus family. With so many cattle and sheep, it is impossible for Winter Fortress to have a major food crisis.

All of this seems to be silently telling what a glorious victory this is.

"victory!"

I don't know who started it, and other people in Winter Fortress also shouted: "Victory!"

"The great Noxian family lives forever!"

"Immortality!"

The overwhelming sound waves came one after another, and the sound was louder than the other.

The enslaved tauren slaves bowed their heads in humiliation. As the defeated, they did not have the slightest courage to resist. No, those tauren who dared to resist have been killed.

Sherlock, who was trapped in the cage, lost his composure at this moment, and leaned against the cage in a daze, wondering if Lord Viscount could come to rescue him.

Jesse looked at this scene thoughtfully, and his heart was filled with shock. In Viscount Kate O'Hara's territory, there had never been such a powerful army, nor such a cohesive moment.

Even Billel, the patriarch of the centaur tribe who was kidnapped by Shire Kengmeng, didn't dare to look directly at this scene.

A brilliant victory is often the fastest way to wash away humiliation and unite the hearts of the people.

Charles led the soldiers of the Noxus family into Winter Fortress amidst praise and cheers.

The soldiers involuntarily puffed up their chests as they approached the gates of the fort to the wildest cheers.

Charles led the soldiers of the Noxus family to enjoy the carnival to the fullest, allowing them to accept the flattery and praise of the civilians, and let them feel what honor is.

Although it is impossible for soldiers to live on all kinds of honors, if soldiers are only given money, they only value money. If other families offer more favorable treatment, they have a great chance of rebellion.

Therefore, both honor and military salary cannot be missed.

After enjoying this carnival of honor to the fullest, Charles began to arrange them.When they returned to Cold Winter Fortress, the soldiers definitely wanted to go home, but it was impossible to go home together. Thousands of tauren slaves had to be taken care of, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep also needed someone to take care of them.

The tauren don't know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are. They only believe in the law of the jungle where the weak prey on the strong. If the soldiers guarding them go home, they will show you a rebellion every minute.

There have been many aristocratic lords returning to the castle fortress with orc slaves before, but because these things were not handled well, the soldiers were in a hurry to go home, and the orcs were left unguarded, and finally the castle was breached from the inside.

At these times, very few noble lords returned to the fortress with orc slaves, let alone returned to the fortress with several times as many orc slaves as Shire.

So now there is a very real question before Shire, who will go home and who will guard it.

The aristocrats here must not even think about it. Of course, the knights will go home first, and the serf soldiers will suffer.

But Shire has another way. Isn't the shift work system in the previous life a ready-made example?This is the advantage of Charles being a time traveler. He is well-informed. He does not need to use his brain to think about some things. His predecessors have already summed up successful experiences for him.

Shire asked Abdekad to start shifts from top to bottom according to military merits. Soldiers with outstanding military exploits were given priority to go home to rest, and those with insignificant military exploits had to endure later.

In addition to solving the dissatisfied mentality of soldiers, it can also promote the atmosphere in the army that rewards and punishments are clearly defined and military merit is paramount.

As for whether those who want to go home without military merit will be dissatisfied, that is not within the scope of Shire's consideration, as long as the majority of people are satisfied.

……

The deep night shrouded Winter Fortress, Old George pushed open the door drunkenly, and walked into the dark room, as if swallowed by darkness.

Old George glanced at the surrounding houses, and he could see the fire in the fireplace from the window. It should be that the soldier who had just returned home was bragging about his experience on the battlefield to his wife and children.

But it has nothing to do with him.

Old George is a veteran of the Noxus family with outstanding military exploits. In this war against the tauren, he successfully killed five tauren, which can be exchanged for the excellent breathing method of the Noxus family.

But this has nothing to do with him, his entire right arm is gone, and he obviously can't keep his left arm in the army.

As the first batch of veterans to go home, George was not happy at all. In the army, he had a partner, Pao Ze, to brag about, but when he returned home, he was the only one left, so what's the point.

George thought he should die, a cripple, unable to draw the longbow, unable to hold the spear tightly, and he was a waste in Winter Fortress.

How can trash survive in Winter Fortress? George plans to exchange the money he has spent as a soldier in the past few years for wine, and after drinking it...

I don't know if a wounded soldier like him can be exchanged for military merit, but the breathing method is useless to him. If he exchanges a few sheep, he can still eat a few meals of meat before leaving.

To be honest, George regretted it a little. He shouldn't have worked so hard at the beginning. If he hadn't been injured, he could still be a soldier in the army now, instead of ending up in such a tragic end.

"such a pity!"

"Cuckoo!"

George raised his glass and drank it down. Unfortunately, he has no chance to do it again.
