Chapter 407 What I Saw and Heard in the City (Part 1)

Evie paused for a moment, then hummed, "Ratchet."

Upon hearing the name, Todd was silent for a moment, then said, "She must have her reasons for choosing this method..."

Ivy didn't speak, but instead plunged her sword heavily into the ground.

From breaching the city gates to defeating the enemy, to issuing early warnings of enemy activity, and finally to the number of enemies killed, all the achievements of the Battle of Ozd were quantified and presented in the form of scores, making them clear at a glance.

“Before the battle, my sisters rode griffins to scout the target and informed the shamanic assembly of the relevant information.” Ivy said, looking at the center of the square. “After learning about the enemy situation, the shamans and commanders determined the items and points for merit based on this intelligence at the pre-battle meeting.”

"Of course, this score is not fixed. Some castles have higher walls and more arrow towers, so the score for breaching the gate will be higher; some enemy legions are stronger, so the score for eliminating them will also increase."

"Before the war, the scores for all battle merits are determined. Then, the commanders of the battle groups choose the appropriate direction of attack and tactical targets based on their own strength. Some large battle groups, with many soldiers and complete weapons and armor, will choose several battle merits with higher scores; while some small battle groups, with weaker strength, may unite four or five to deal with a relatively simple battle merit target."

"After the war ends, the shamans will determine whether each major battle group has completed the war merit targets selected before the war, based on the inspection reports from the supervisory teams and the griffon riders. If they have been completed, they will be awarded corresponding points; if they have not been completed, points will be deducted from their total score."

Intrigued, Todd asked, "What if a battle group fails to achieve its objectives, resulting in a negative total score?"

Ivy shrugged: "Then they're in real trouble. Depending on their performance on the battlefield and the consequences of defeat, the lightest punishment for a defeated battle group is to disband on the spot, while the heaviest punishment could be that all members are enslaved and the commander is imprisoned to await the judgment of the Son of God. Fortunately, since Froststone City began its war against foreign powers, there has never been such a serious defeat."

Todd nodded thoughtfully.

During the time the two were talking, the battle achievements of the Battle of Ozd were tallied.

The Red Branches, led by Kasper and Ackerman, won by two points over the Windhammers, a group of refugees from St. Victory, and achieved the greatest victory in the Battle of Ozd.

As pre-arranged, firstly, they could prioritize selecting prisoners to replenish the warband's ranks; secondly, after the shamans took a small portion of the spoils as offerings to the sons of the gods, they could prioritize selecting a certain amount of items from the remaining spoils; finally, the warband would have the right to prioritize selecting targets for merit in their next battle.

Watching Ackerman and his men swaggeringly take away the most valuable treasures and then impatiently picking out the most beautiful female slaves, Todd said to Evie with some concern, "Won't this kind of distribution incite hatred between the warbands?"

Evie looked at Todd in surprise: "Hatred? Why would you hate someone? The commander set the operational objectives beforehand, and through his own abilities and bravery, he earned rewards commensurate with his efforts. Others will only respect and admire him, so how could he harbor such hatred?!"

Todd was speechless for a moment.

Ivy then pointed to the shamans on the high platform and said, "Besides, if the commander is dissatisfied with the allocation, he can go to the shaman gathering to appeal... In Froststone City, what warriors value most is honor and faith. No one wants to be dragged into hell by evil spirits when facing Asgard's 'Scales of Fate' after death because of their momentary greed."

Upon hearing this, Todd nodded unconsciously.

The reason he introduced the "Anubis Scales" from ancient Egyptian mythology in his previous life, based on the legends of the gods, in the soul space was to admonish believers to think carefully about good and evil before speaking and acting.

However, the religious atmosphere that this action caused in Froststone City was something the instigator never expected.
