Chapter 8: I'm Coming! Yuki Collar!
Raphael gave the deceased a pension of thirty gold soles, they were excellent warriors, worthy of their pension! Alva and Justin wept and accepted the pension and expressed their gratitude to Raphael on behalf of their family. There is no mandatory requirement for such a thing as a pension, which may depend on a person's character.
In most cases, it is the mercenary who asks the employer, and the employer will reluctantly take out a small pension, which is the first time that everyone has seen such a generous employer as Raphael. Usually a mercenary's pension is between five and ten gold soles. It's cheap, but it's mercenaries, and they're not recognized by the state, even though they're probably the nobles standing behind them! However, the nobles just treat them as pawns, so naturally they don't care about their life and death!
An ordinary mercenary who can live for ten years usually chooses to retire and return to his hometown to become an instructor or something. If you're unlucky, you're lucky to have a missing arm and a leg. If you have a little savings, you may be able to buy a small estate and all kinds of land. If you are unlucky, you will naturally die. There is also good and bad luck in this bad luck. If you are lucky, the ashes will return home, and if you are unlucky, you will throw your corpse into the wilderness and be eaten by the creatures of the wilderness.
"Ding!"
"The mission field battle is completed, and you can get one Gnoll Leader Soul and five Gnoll Elite Souls."
"Ding, after a bloody battle, your abilities have been improved.
+2 for Command, +1 for Evasion
"Ding, get some information about battle casting......"
"Ding, get 12,342 general experience points!"
Raphael and Dalena each put a blanket on top of the carriage and slowly fell asleep, while Jarvis sat outside the carriage with a beast fur on his body and closed his eyes. Tonight's battle was very thrilling for everyone, everyone's nerves were tense, and everyone was a little tired when they relaxed, except for the Orion in Reese Village who still held their posts, and the mercenaries also slept by the campfire.
The thick blood and the smell of blood that is so strong that it can't be dissolved, although it will attract some creatures, but it will also shock them, the head of the leader of the jackals and the head of the elite gnolls are placed around the convoy, which will let those creatures who have a mind weigh whether they have this power first!
In the second half of the night, only a few creatures came to eat the corpses of the gnolls and lizardmen, and there were no incidents of other creatures attacking. Everyone is kept at a level of peace, those creatures do not cross the line, and the hunters will not care about them. The creatures carefully dragged their food away and ate it slowly.
Even on a dangerous night, there will be a morning of hope!
Raphael took a deep breath of the morning air with the smell of blood, and Raphael was used to this situation, moving his body. A very simple meal, except for the very picky aristocracy, the most common food for wild adventures is dry food. Most of them are air-dried meat. Adventurers will put these dry foods on their chests, using their body heat so that they will no longer be able to stiffen their mouths when they want to eat them.
Take a sip of the broth, then soak the bread in your hand and take a bite. It doesn't taste great, but it can replenish the energy you need!
The mercenaries were more carefully scattered around the convoy, and the heads of the gnoll leaders and the gnolls were suspended from the wagons. It's not a bad taste, but it can be a deterrent. However, these heads can also be hung up to show their strength after some treatment, and this is the tune that the nobles like the most!
One of the most famous is the 'Dragon Slayer City - Liccock City', where the dragon's head is placed in the center of the city! Individual dragons gritted their teeth at this act, but the combat effectiveness of the previous city lords of this city was very good, and their family name was directly based on Dragon Slaying! However, most of the white dragons they killed were the weakest of the pure-blood dragon species, and they were brutal by nature, and their brains were not very good. The other pure-blooded dragons looked down on the white dragons, so they turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior!
Raphael doesn't like it either, but he doesn't dislike it, and sometimes you need to use it to boost your prestige and strength. You can't see people and say how strong you are, then something on the bright side can show you for you. This was not only for the nobles, but also for the commoners. Orions hang the most powerful beasts they have ever hunted in their homes, and mercenaries hang the heads of the beasts they have killed.
With the head of the leader of the gnolls opening the way, their rest of the journey was much calmer, and they were all small groups blocking the way, and they saw the menacing crowd scattering in all directions.
Five days later, they finally stepped into the territory of Yuki Ling, which was not large, almost fifty kilometers radiating from the center, and had a total population of only 80,000 people. Not much, compared to Bartholomew's city with a population of more than 200,000 people, Raphael's territory was no different from the backcountry, although in fact it seemed to be.
But Raphael knew that this land would be unusually rich if it was developed! Don't ask Raphael how he knows, there is Lady Mist's overcoming thorns and thorns in the past, and naturally there is Raphael's Jigu Zhenjin!
They only stepped into the periphery of the Yuki Territory, but the nobles were not very strict in planning their territories, because of the competition between territories, wars were common. Nobles often use stratagems or battles to seize other people's territories, so today your territory may be as big as a sesame seed, and tomorrow it may not even be as big as a sesame seed!
It's okay to say in the poor countryside, after all, everyone is poor, and it doesn't make sense for you to rob me and I rob yours. On the contrary, it may allow other nobles to enjoy the benefits of fishermen. This usually happens in wealthy territories. Or the alternating moment of the rise and fall of an aristocratic family. As long as these things between the nobles are not particularly excessive, or do not affect other people, everyone will laugh and use them as talking points.
Raphael looked at this familiar but unfamiliar place and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He had been to this place countless times, but it was already at the time of its prosperity, which was completely different from the dense jungle in front of him, but Raphael knew that tall buildings were rising from the ground. I will also build Yuki Collar into a base that no force dares to touch!
"I'm coming! Yuki Collar! ”
