Lord Harland

Chapter 15
Although the title of Baron Harden is still relatively low, his strength is very strong. Although he has retired from the position of regiment commander, he is still a heavyweight officer in northern Xinjiang, responsible for commanding operations in one direction.

Nolan has influence in the capital, and the news channels are very extensive.

Baron Harden knew that some of Nolan's magicians had been using captured orc professionals for blood experiments.

Especially the royal magic laboratory requires a huge number of experimental subjects, so living orc professionals are more valuable than dead ones.

Ordinary orcs can also be used as experimental consumables and as slave labor.

"Let the priests accompanying the army not be afraid of consuming mental power, and try their best to heal the injured orcs. The snake-body professionals captured alive will be treated with healing techniques immediately, and sent to Fort Wright first, and will be escorted to Nolan after the battle to exchange for meritorious service."

"The military judges of each army seize the time to report their military achievements, and reward those who have made meritorious deeds as soon as possible to boost morale."

Baron Harden knew that the Eighth Squadron had suffered a lot of casualties, especially the Sixth Squadron, the main force in this battle, had more than half of its casualties, and had already lost its combat effectiveness without supplementation.

Now rewarding the meritorious service can stabilize the morale of the army very well.

Legion statistics are very complicated.

Each squadron has a military judge who is responsible for recording merit.

As for the Wild Lion Corps, after the war, the meritorious service of each soldier will be registered, and then made public in the squadron headquarters. The list of meritorious personnel will also be posted on the wall for everyone to monitor to see if there are any officers who have robbed the military exploits.

Soldiers record credits entirely on the basis of head count, with one small merit for a first-level professional, two small merits for a second-level professional, and three for a third-level professional.

Killing a Tier [-] professional rewards one medium skill, killing a Tier [-] professional rewards three medium merits, and killing a Tier [-] professional rewards one great merit.

Killing a seventh-level professional will reward three great achievements, and killing an eighth-level professional will reward five great achievements.

Kill a ninth-level professional, reward one miraculous achievement, and be granted the title of hereditary baron.

Kill a legendary professional and directly make hereditary earl.

At the level of the hereditary earl, it is already the top of the pyramid of the Grant Kingdom.In the entire Grant Kingdom, with a land of 200 million square kilometers, there are only seven dukes, four marquises, and eight earls.

Counting the royal family, there are only twenty hereditary families in the ruling class.

In the past hundred years, due to the failure to expand the territory and obtain a commendable victory, no low-level nobleman in the kingdom has been promoted to the hereditary earl.

In the thousands of years of recorded history in the Dawn Continent, no ordinary soldier has ever killed a legendary professional and been granted the title of hereditary earl.

Soldiers who can kill legends in war are basically either legends or high-level professionals.Such a person must be a high-level person in the army.

The northern orcs invade the south every three to five years. In the last hundred years in the Kingdom of Grant, no legendary professional has been killed in battle.

It is extremely difficult to kill a legendary professional in a war.Unless there is accurate information and an ambush is set in advance, it will be possible to succeed.

In addition to head counts, when the army wins battles, the superiors will also ask for credit for officers who have made outstanding contributions.

For example, this time in the defense of Castle No. [-], the brigade applied for medium merit for the three surviving professional officers.

According to the results of this battle, it is not difficult to approve it.

The military judges will also count the contribution of the military merits obtained by cooperating to kill the enemy, and the division ratio will be converted into a part of gold coins, and rewarded to those who have contributed less.

Kill a professional with a magic crossbow, and the soldier who manipulates the magic crossbow can share one-tenth of the military merit.

The special equipment of each squadron, the Burst Arrow, also needs to be exchanged for the collective military merit of the squadron.

There are wars in the northern region all the year round, and humans and orcs compete for the right to survive.

If humans are defeated, their parents, wives and children will become slaves, and even become food for orcs.

Many brutal orcs have the habit of cannibalism.

Under such an environment, it is necessary to require a strong army stationed in the northern Xinjiang area.

Years of wars have slowed down the rate of corruption of the various armies in the northern border.

Most of the hereditary nobles with fiefdoms in the north are strong and brave, with rich experience in war.

If a generation of heirs is not good enough, it will be difficult to inherit the title.

Especially the hereditary nobles facing the orc attack in the first-line area are almost all the first-generation military nobles, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong.

With military achievements, the influence of the northern nobility has become very large, and many branches of the northern nobility are also developing to other regions. The voice of the northern nobility is also the loudest in the nobility council, and almost everyone echoes it.

To build a strong army, the most important thing is fair rewards and punishments.The three main armies in the northern border can maintain roughly fairness when rewarding meritorious service.

In this battle, the Sixth Squadron suffered a lot of casualties, which can be called outstanding military exploits.The Sixth Squadron suffered more than half of the casualties in the battle of defending the city without breaking up.The castle was held firmly, laying the foundation for the victory of the battle.

If the sixth squadron breaks up, let the orcs occupy the castle.The Baron's Cavalry lost its opportunity to attack, and Platos's first line of defense lost its support.

In this battle, the Sixth Squadron was the first to win.

Besides, the Sixth Squadron has killed over a hundred orcs, six professionals, and the exchange ratio is also very good.This kind of real credit is generally approved by the Legion Department.

Sure enough, it took only a few days for the letter of meritorious service to be delivered before the army headquarters approved it.

Diarra, Richard won the medium merit once, and Judge Owen won the minor merit three times.In addition, the Sixth Squadron won the collective medium merit once, and the collective merit can be exchanged for enchanted weapons at the Legion Department.

After discussing with Diarra, Richard decided to use it to supplement the three explosive arrows.

There are only three sharp archers in the squadron, and the basic archery of this kind of sharp archers has reached the fourth level, which is enough to be compared with Richard.Fortunately, this kind of sharp archer was protected by everyone and did not die, otherwise it would be very difficult to replenish the sharp archer.

Basic archery has reached the fourth level, which is already considered a talent, and it is very troublesome to transfer people from any squadron.

Supplementing a Burst Arrow consumes a small effort.After discussing the remaining seven small skills in the squadron, Li Cha and Diarra planned to exchange for a few low-level enchanted armors for the low-level officers who are valued to wear.

In this battle, the squad leader suffered too many casualties.More than half of the wounded were killed in battle, and it can be said that there is no one available.

Even Li Cha's elder brother, Ron, was slightly injured, with a bruise on his chest and two broken ribs.

The third brother Hayden was very lucky to be unscathed in the battle.

In addition to commanding meritorious service, Li Cha also has meritorious service in killing enemies.During the battle, Li Cha killed a first-order kobold with one arrow, and cooperated with more than ten comrades to kill a third-order snake-body man. In addition, he shot and killed several orc soldiers.

Miscellaneous soldiers are not counted as meritorious service, killing a first-order kobold is a small merit, and killing a third-order snake-body man is three small merits.

In the battle to kill the Snake Man, the military judge Owen confirmed that Richard contributed the most.

The leader of the second team, Moses, contributed second. Unfortunately, Moses had already died on the top of the city.The remaining dozen or so soldiers played an auxiliary role, and did not effectively kill the snake-body man. They only participated in the battle to kill the snake-body man, which was a bit of a trivial effort.

In the end, Owen discussed with the soldiers and decided to let Li Cha get the military exploits, and then rewarded a dozen soldiers with three gold coins each.In addition, he also needs to take out [-] gold coins to issue pensions to the families of Moses who died.

Count the [-] gold coins pension issued by the legion.Sixty gold coins, if you don't spend too much, are enough to live for Moses and his family for many years.

After this battle, Li Cha got one medium skill and four minor skills, including the three minor skills he had accumulated.He already has one medium meritorious service and seven minor meritorious deeds under his name.

Although Ron and Hayden participated in the battle, they failed to accomplish anything.

If the two are lucky enough to survive this war, they should be able to get a Platos Defense Commemorative Medal.Obtaining a medal is to accumulate qualifications, and when you are promoted in the future, the merit of the medal is the biggest capital.

Ron's student-level breathing method has been completed, and he can start practicing professional-level breathing method.It's a pity that he doesn't have any military exploits on him, and the legion stipulates that personal military exploits cannot be traded.In order to redeem the Legion Breathing Method, Ron must kill the orc professional and make a battle.

Ron has been slightly injured, and it will be difficult to make meritorious service in the next battle.This matter still needs Li Cha to find a way.
