Lord Highlander

   Chapter 1428 1415. Rewards

  For the merchants in the free market in the forest farm camp, this night seemed extraordinarily long.

  The open-air tavern did not close that night. The owner of the tavern was sleeping soundly on the bar counter. The only waiter in the store was watching the wine barrels piled up on the wall behind the bar counter all night, and occasionally delivered wine to the guests at the tables.

  These guests are businessmen in the free market. They gather around several square tables, basically talking about their own things without disturbing each other.

  After listening all night, the waiter could also hear a general idea. These merchants knew that the amount of spoils sold by the forest farm and camp this time was very large, and they were worried that they would not have enough funds to compete with other merchants.

  That's why these businessmen gathered here in the tavern. They found some like-minded friends who usually have a good relationship.

Everyone pooled their money together and took shares according to how much money they paid. If you only talked about this, of course you don’t need to stay up all night. Then the merchants began to discuss the market of the Black Devilskin in the imperial market. Each merchant has his own Trade channels, everyone hopes to sell the goods in their hands at a high price.

  Every day before dawn, the ghost warriors in the forest will howl for a while, and the people here have long been used to it.

However, in the past few days, the evil spirits in the mountains and forests have disappeared, and those hysterical howls have disappeared. This group of people who live on the free market feel a little unaccustomed to it. I didn’t expect that being too quiet would make people unable to sleep .

  Morning mist drifts between the mountains and fields, and the green grass on the hillside is covered with dew.

  Large herds of cattle and sheep graze silently on the slopes.

At this time, the herdsmen began to drive the cattle out of the forest camp to graze in places with more abundant grass. These herdsmen were provided free of charge to the West Route Army by the surrounding ranchers. They will have been grazing here until the light.

  The grass in the northern area of ​​the Great Meadow is plentiful, and a lot of evil spirits appeared a while ago, scaring the other ranchers so much that they kept their cattle away from the northern area overnight.

   Now the area along the Ganda Er Mountains is someone else's territory, but the large herd of cattle and sheep bought by Suldak can graze freely on this grassland.

  In the past half a month or so, there have been a lot of adventure group tents around the free market opposite the forest farm camp.

   They just moved here.

The adventure group hunting in the northern part of the Great Meadow has not been having a good time recently. A large group of ghost hunters suddenly appeared, causing the members of these adventure groups to be frequently injured. Fortunately, they heard that the Lord's army in the forest camp has healing Teachers, as long as they are willing to pay, the therapists in these lords' army will also heal the injuries of the members of the adventure group.

  Many adventure groups went to the forest camp to recuperate because someone in the team was injured.

  Then these adventure groups discovered that the free market in the forest farm camp is actually a very good supply camp. Almost all the supplies they are in short supply can be bought here, and some goods that are inconvenient to carry around can be disposed of in time.

Just when many adventure groups were fortunate to find a very good supply camp, they never imagined that a Lord Bena army who had just arrived in the Warsaw plane wiped out a group of evil spirits in Ganda Er Mountain hunting group...

   Until now, these adventure groups are still a little confused. Thousands of evil spirits were besieged and killed by this lord army in Ganda Er Mountain. Thinking about it, it feels a bit unreal.

   It is said that the group of ghost-striped soldier ants hiding on the mountain behind the forest camp made great achievements. Now some headless corpses of evil spirits are being brought back one after another to become the rations of those ghost-striped soldier ants.

  The barracks has reported that a large number of black devil skins are being sold. It seems that the news is very likely to be true.

   Of course, it is impossible for these adventure groups to know that in the battle of Yangchang Canyon, the number of soldier ants killed in the battle reached 4,000, and nearly 40 ghost pattern soldier ants advanced to become giant soldier ants.

Originally, Suldak brought these ghost-striped soldier ants here, intending to send them to the battlefield as cannon fodder, but now that the group of ghost-striped soldier ants showed greater value, Suldak had to wait for some changes. Battle plan.

   Before the morning fog cleared, a group of businessmen got together and ran to the gate of the forest farm camp to wait anxiously.

  …

Suldak had all the black devil skins moved outside the camp, and the 4,000 black devil skins were divided into ten grades, from perfect black devil skins to broken black devil skins, each type has its own unique characteristics. Detailed explanation.

  The merchants found that the black devil skins sold in the forest camp this time actually had a very standardized price, and the selling price was basically a normal purchase price.

  The amount of black devil skins purchased will also allow merchants to enjoy different discounts. It is said that a single transaction of 500 black devil skins can enjoy a discount of up to 5%.

  Businessmen gathered outside the camp, surrounded by a sheet of transaction details posted on the bulletin board, and carefully studied the contents above.

  Suldak ordered people to set up ten long rows of dining tables at the gate of the camp, and the black devil skins were stacked neatly behind the long tables.

  Selena checked the number of these black devil skins with the account booklet, while the merchants thought about their actual needs and formed a long line in front of the long table.

The infantry soldiers in the forest camp were maintaining order at the scene. As the four thousand black devil skins were all brought out by the infantry soldiers, it started to boil now. The merchants who were going to buy the black devil skins were shocked by the huge number, although There was news, but when the merchants saw so many black devil skins in front of them, they were still shocked by these black devil skins.

The adventurous group standing at the outermost edge to watch the fun also opened their mouths. It's not that they haven't seen the black devil's skin. After all, after hunting the evil spirits, apart from the most valuable unidentified black magic crystal, the black devil's skin is the most valuable , it’s just that so many black devil skins are put out at the same time, it will remind these adventurers who are professional hunters of evil spirits, what a big battle it is to get so many black devil skins...

   What is even more incredible is that there are military lords among the merchants queuing up to purchase.

  Businessmen on the scene have a doubt, since someone inside wants to purchase, shouldn't the same price be directly sold domestically?

  No one explained, and the merchants were curious, but no one would rush to ask.

   ‘Dang Dang Dang…’

  An infantry soldier on the scene actually rang a small copper bell with a copper hammer. The sound of this bell was clear and melodious...

  After the bell rang, a row of warriors walked up to the wooden table. According to Selina's instructions, they took a piece of dark devil skin from behind and spread it on the wooden table.

  Afterwards, the soldier introduced to the merchants who had been waiting across the table for a long time: "If you want to buy black magic leather, you must first be optimistic about the quality of these leathers. What is placed in front of you now is..."

Ten grades of leather correspond to different prices. When the merchants waited here, they had already made plans and quickly reported the quantity of magic skins they wanted to buy. The soldiers took out stacks of black magic skins from behind. Merchants paid for it one after another.

The lord of Dana chose to buy the fourth-level black magic leather with the largest quantity. This kind of leather is basically intact, with three obvious scratches on it, and the price is two gold coins a piece. The lord of Dana bought five gold coins One hundred sheets, it can be regarded as one of several large orders in this transaction.

  As Suldak expected, the better the quality of the black devil leather, the more attention it would receive, and the merchants didn't seem to care much about the high price.

  Among the 4,000 black devil skins, there were only 119 black devil skins without any damage, and the price of each was set at ten gold coins.

  What he didn't expect was that these black devil skins sold the fastest, and the merchant who ranked third only bought the last nine first-level magic skins.

The lively sales scene only lasted for less than two hours, and all the black devil skins that were on display were snapped up by the merchants, and the merchants in the back row regretted that they should not have hesitated just now, they just hesitated for a while , to nothing in the end.

  After these black devil skins were emptied by the merchants, what remained were four full boxes of gold coins.

   This kind of wooden box is very strong, and it is a small treasure box specially used to hold gold coins.

  If stacked neatly, each box can hold two thousand gold coins.

  The total sales recorded in the account book, after repeated confirmation by Selina, finally concluded that the Black Devil skin sold this time received a total of 8,709 gold coins.

Just as Suldak expected, no one cared about the black iron weapons seized from the evil spirits. Occasionally, merchants asked for cheap ones, but when they asked about the price, they were immediately sold at a high price. The prices have been persuaded to retreat.

  The money was distributed by Selina to the infantry soldiers in the camp that afternoon, and the logistics department did not withhold even a single copper coin.

Because these spoils of war have been privately owned by the soldiers after they collected them, they are only obliged to hand in the black magic crystals they seized. Merit points worth half of the crystal value.

  …

  For the infantry soldiers of the West Route Army, this part of the reward can be said to be simply too generous.

  Fenghou arrived at the West Route Army, and the other soldiers of the foreign lord army also had red eyes at this time.

  In the battle of the Yangchang Canyon, these lord army soldiers did not participate in the battle. They just dealt with a group of evil ghost warriors in the mountains and forests near the forest farm camp, and gained very little.

  The most important thing is that their lords are not satisfied with the merit list set by Suldak, and there is no merit when performing such tasks.

I heard that the Suldak lord's army can get a certain amount of merit even on patrol and night duty. Looking at the various precious items listed on the merit list, the infantry soldiers of the West Route Army became more and more restless in private. It's getting worse.

As for the little lords in the West Route Army, they knew that the heavy-armored infantry regiment they brought over this time would not be able to rush to the Yangchang Canyon for a long distance without the support of ghost-patterned soldiers and ants to participate in this battle. Annihilation battle.

  In addition, they did not expect Commander Suldak to be so decisive, almost bringing his own direct troops out.

  Warsaw has not fought a few decent battles in the past few years, and the battle situation in Bena Province is almost all the news that the Lord Busman's army has been frustrated one after another and has continuously given up the territory.

  The Bena Legion is also very low-key, almost holding its troops in Handanar County, and every year because of the rotation of soldiers who have expired in military service, the military has been racking their brains to send more troops to the Warsaw plane.

  Who would have thought that these cunning ghost warriors were besieged and killed by the lord army of Suldak just after they made some moves in the Ganda Er Mountain area...

   When they returned to the forest camp with a lot of spoils, the war ended quickly.

  These little lords didn't even get a bite of shit, only that Lord Dana actually licked his face and stood with the merchants in the free market to buy the spoils that belonged to the infantry soldiers.

   What a joke!

  If their own lord army captures these trophies, why buy them and give some rewards directly, isn’t these trophies their own?

In fact, some savvy little lords have begun to realize that the reason why the Lord Suldak's army has shined in the plane wars in the province of Bena in recent years has a lot to do with his generous reward system for the soldiers. .

Just look at those infantry soldiers wearing full-covered heavy armor, holding magic weapons in their hands, and not going to the river to fetch water when marching, but directly using the water-gathering magic rune board, you know this group of soldiers How rich is it.

  Now they can only watch as a group of infantry soldiers use a carriage to pull the corpse of the ghost soldier to the mountain behind the camp, and feed it to the group of monsters in the valley.

And what makes these lords even more incomprehensible is that Suldak also made a money-losing business, that is, he bought all the black iron weapons that could not be sold at a premium, and the merchants in the free market did not make much money because of these weapons. , Reluctant to buy, I didn't expect Suldak to come forward to buy at a premium in the end.

   It means that the camp sold the loot publicly this time. Not only did Suldak not get a penny, but he also lost a lot of money...

  Such a small move made the soldiers in the barracks even more arguing, and then these little lords began to realize that it was difficult to lead the team.

  …

   On the merit list at the entrance of the cafeteria

  Although some magic weapons were exchanged, even a magic pattern structure was exchanged.

  But the soldiers in the camp also carefully discovered that the tenth place on the merit list was no longer those magical weapons of excellent quality, but was replaced by a tower shield called 'Bone Shield'.

  As for the nine-faced bone shield, there is almost no detailed introduction, and the only line of text is also a bit confusing-"The special shield of the Lord Suldak, it will be hated by all evil spirits on the battlefield."

  Although the last half of the sentence cannot be fully understood, it is full of gold for the special use of the great lord of Suldak.

So those infantry soldiers in the camp who were not familiar with Suldak all began to pay attention to the bone shield on Suldak's back. There was clearly a terrifying grimace on the shield's skin, which made people almost uneasy. Dare to stare at the shield...

  The merit value required for this bone shield is also very high, and ordinary soldiers don't have to think about it at all.

   It is estimated that the war on the Warsaw plane is over, and they may not be able to make so many achievements.

  However, some constructed knights, this time they fought almost like desperately in the Yangchang Canyon, and some people have already collected enough merit points.

  There was a very curious construction knight who actually went to the logistics office to exchange for this evil ghost shield. Unexpectedly, he was asked by the quartermaster in charge of the exchange:

"Your merit points are enough, but if you want to exchange for the bone shield, there is an unwritten hidden condition!" The quartermaster rolled his eyes, glanced at the constructed knight, and then said in a proud tone Question: "So...did you comprehend the martial skill 'shield wall' when you were promoted to rank one fighter?"

  The constructed warrior shook his head.

   "Is there any danger?"

  The constructed warrior shook his head again.

The quartermaster stared at the construction knight with helpless eyes of "I knew it was so", and said indifferently: "If you really want to exchange items, then exchange for something else! You can't reach this bone shield yet. Exchange conditions..."
