Chapter 724 Flag Sacrifice
After counting his remaining energy points and kiwifruit, Gervis lay down to rest, but not long after, there was a knock on his bedroom door.
"Your Majesty, Miss Vivian and Lord Nathan have returned with the rest of the people from the gathering place!"
The crisp voice of the maid Anna came in from outside the door.
"Are you back? Then get up!"
Now that the people in the gathering place have returned, the compensation and awards held publicly today can be carried out. Alice and others will immediately return to the elves after the compensation meeting.
As soon as Gervis gave an order, the maid Anna carefully opened the door and obediently began to help Gervis dress and wash.
After getting dressed and washing up, Gervis walked out of the stone house directly. At this time, the spacious open space outside the conference cabin was already full of people, all of whom were waiting for Gervis to arrive.
In addition to the soldiers who participated in the battle yesterday, there were also many people who had just returned.
"Grevith, everything has been arranged! We can start the compensation and reward process anytime!"
Gervais walked to the door of the meeting cabin. When Gandalf saw Gervais coming, he immediately reported to him.
"Okay, father, let's start now!"
In order not to delay Alice and others from returning to the elves, Gervis decided to start immediately.
After saying that, he walked directly to the wooden platform that had just been built on the open space.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
When Gervis, wearing brand new silver armor and a bright red cape, came to the platform, thousands of people in the field knelt down to greet him.
Although many of the people who were chosen to come to the Holy Continent had never seen Gervis in person, when they were chosen, they knew that they were pledging allegiance to this young king.
"Get up!"
Gervis stood on the podium, his usual gentle expression replaced by a serious and steady demeanor.
Although Gervis had only been a small lord before, he knew when a superior should be gentle and when to maintain his dignity.
Standing below at this moment were not only ordinary serfs and civilians, but also his own more than a thousand direct guards. These were the killing power that he would control in the future, so it was necessary to show them enough majesty.
After all, using both kindness and severity is the real way to control subordinates.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After getting Gervis's permission, the people in the field stood up to express their gratitude.
When everyone stood up, there was a group of people who attracted the most attention. They were the thousand direct guards trained by Ik and Gandalf.
Although the combat effectiveness of the direct guards was weak due to their realm limitations in the Holy Continent, Ik continued to use Gervis's original training methods to train these direct guards, and trained the military appearance of these direct guards to be impeccable.
Their movements were in unison and their responses were powerful and resonant. Regardless of their individual strength, this was definitely a well-trained army.
At this time, the direct guards were standing in two places. The Silver Knights who participated in the battle yesterday naturally stood in the field in front of the platform and accepted the rewards from Gervis together with the Rose Knights.
As for those weaker members of the 500 direct guards who were arranged to leave the camp yesterday, they were arranged in an orderly manner to watch from a distance.
"Very good, it seems you have been training hard during this period!"
A little approval finally showed on Gervis's dignified face. To be able to train to this level, both these soldiers and Ik must have worked hard.
After praising him, Gerviston paused, ready to start today's business, so his face became serious again, he glanced down and spoke in a deep voice.
"Today, I gathered you together to reward those who made contributions in the battle against the orcs yesterday!"
"Although you are not strong, through the battle yesterday, I saw your courage and your determination to defend our homeland!"
“Although there will be sacrifices in doing this, you have saved your homeland and won the victory!”
"And I! As your king, I will remember your deeds and reward you for your bravery!"
"Here, I declare that all those who participated in the battle yesterday will be rewarded with 20 gold coins each!"
"In addition, those with minor injuries will receive an additional five gold coins! Those with serious injuries will receive an additional twenty gold coins!"
"Fifty gold coins will be added for each casualty!"
After saying that, Gervis took out two large treasure chests from the space ring, and then opened them. The golden coins inside instantly caught the eyes of everyone present.
Wow! "So many gold coins!"
"I wish I could be your Majesty's personal guard!"
"20 gold coins! That's enough for me to eat white bread every day!"
When Gervis finished talking about the reward and placed the gold coins on the stage, the crowd on the open space instantly became agitated, and they were obviously shocked by the generous reward.
You have to know that they have never left the Sacred Forest, and their understanding of prices is still stuck in the Eurasian continent.
Seventy gold coins is a fortune that an ordinary family in Eurasia could not accumulate in a lifetime.
Now, the pension they receive for a battle has brought their families a wealthy life, which can be said to have truly solved their worries.
As for those soldiers who participated in this battle but did not die, they were even luckier. They were directly rewarded with twenty gold coins.
Of course, the discussions all came from the serfs watching from the outside and the ordinary soldiers responsible for maintaining order. The direct guards in the field did not say a word even after hearing about the rewards and pensions because of their strict training.
One could only tell from their eyes that they were equally excited.
Seeing the excited faces of the soldiers below, Gervis was quite satisfied with their reactions. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Although this relief in the Holy Continent cannot be compared with the top holy cities such as Sky City, it is no worse than those ordinary holy cities.
You have to know that the elite troops of Sky City are all Gold Knights and White Flag Knights, and the strongest here are only Silver Knights, so it is naturally impossible to achieve that level of pension for the time being.
However, it is obvious that the soldiers below are satisfied with this level of pension.
After giving the crowd below enough time to discuss and get excited, Gervis continued to speak! "In addition to these pensions, I have something else to announce!"
"Then I have decided to award the brave soldiers who died or were seriously injured in this battle with medals of bravery!"
"Medal of Valor? What is this?"
"Really? I've never heard of this thing! But since His Majesty the King mentioned it, it must be very precious!"
When Gervis mentioned the Medal of Bravery, the crowd below was a little confused. They didn't know what the Medal of Bravery was and what it was used for.
"You haven't heard of this medal of bravery? But it doesn't matter. I will tell you now what the medal I made specially for warriors is used for!"
"The Medal of Valor can only be obtained after making great contributions to Stormwind City. It can prove your bravery and your loyalty to me. The medal is my recognition of your courage and loyalty!"
"Since you have proven your bravery and loyalty, anyone who obtains this badge or their family will be able to receive better treatment in Stormwind City in the future."
"For example, after Stormwind City is built, any warrior who has won the Medal of Bravery will be allowed to bring your family to the Holy Continent and settle down permanently!"
"In addition, if you are in Eurasia, you and your family can directly reduce or exempt five levels of tax!"
"And if there are any benefits to the territory in the future, the warriors who receive the medals and their families will be the first to enjoy these benefits!"
"Now do you all know the purpose of this medal of bravery?"
Seeing everyone's confusion, Gervis explained to everyone in a sonorous and powerful manner what this heroic badge was all about and what benefits it could bring.
There is no such thing as medals in this world. The nobles simply reward ordinary brave soldiers with more gold coins and materials. As for conferring titles of nobility, they are extremely rare and ordinary civilians can rarely obtain them.
There are only so many nobles in the world, and it is impossible for everyone to become a noble.
In this case, Gervis came up with other ideas to increase the spiritual rewards for the soldiers, which could greatly increase the soldiers' sense of honor and make them more brave and loyal.
By treating the holders of the Badge of Valor with generous rewards, Gervis wants to make this medal of bravery a dream that soldiers can reach.
Although the medals have not been manufactured yet, and the rewards are only a few.
However, in the future, Gervis will gradually develop more benefits to make this medal of bravery an honor that all soldiers truly dream of.
"What? We can bring our families over!"
"And it can also reduce taxes in Eurasia?"
Sure enough, Gervis' explanation reached the ears of everyone present, and this time even the direct guards had slight movements.
When they came here, they were given resettlement allowances, and their families were all in Eurasia, although their families had already moved to Storm Territory.
But if you want to go back and see your family, you can only return via the teleportation array during the half-month vacation every year.
If you win the Medal of Bravery now, you will be able to reunite with your family in the future and enjoy the new world together in this sacred continent. No one would not be excited.
After all, they, the titled knights, are the most familiar with the richness of the spiritual energy in this sacred continent.
As long as family members come, even if they do not practice, they can extend their lifespan by several years in such an environment.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the yield of crops grown on this sacred continent is more than twice that of Eurasia. Such welfare can benefit future generations.
"Now that we have finished talking about rewards and pensions, let's do the last thing for today before distributing the rewards and pensions!"
Seeing the reaction below, Gervis was very satisfied. After waiting for a moment, he waved his hand, and the crowd below immediately quieted down.
After everyone quieted down, Gervis looked at his cheap father.
Gandalf immediately understood what he meant, and quickly ran to the side to greet Gust and others. Then Gust and Hayden walked out of the wooden house with a person and came to the platform.
The one who was brought to the platform was none other than the Orc Prince Dosalon, who had both his arms chopped off and was tightly trapped with mithril ropes.
"It was this orc prince who ordered his subordinates to attack us yesterday!"
"We will never show mercy to our enemies. Even if they are the princes of the orcs, if they dare to invade my territory, they will be met with my most advantageous counterattack!"
When Gervis saw Dosalon being brought up, he immediately pointed at him and introduced him to the people below the stage.
"God of Killing, you'd better let me go! Otherwise the Beast King will not let you go"
Although Salon was dying at this time, after hearing what Gervis said, he still did not threaten the Beast King in order to save his life.
Unfortunately, since Gervis had chosen to bring him to the platform, his final fate was to be sacrificed! Clang! Gervis ignored Dorsalon's words, and what responded to him was the clang of Gervis's Crimson Moon being unsheathed.
"Now, I declare that today I will use the blood of this orc prince to comfort the warriors who died heroically for me!"
"Don't kill me! I am willing to redeem myself with gold coins! I am willing to redeem myself with gold coins... just like in the City of Hope!"
Seeing that Gervis was serious, especially after seeing the blood-red blade, Dosalon was really scared. He immediately changed his threatening words and wanted to buy his life with gold coins.
“Too late!”
Hearing Dosalon's plea for mercy, Gervis turned to look at him, shook his head expressionlessly and said something in a low voice.
After saying that, he raised the blood-red sword in his hand and shouted to the people below the stage.
"die!"
Poof! Under Dorsalon's complex gaze of fear and resentment, Gervis swung his blood-red long sword.
The huge head of the orc prince Dosalon was chopped off directly. He paid the price of his life for his insistence on coming to avenge Gervis and others.
