"I'm so looking forward to it. There's going to be a war. We can go to the battlefield soon."
"Yeah, I'm about to go to the battlefield and risk my life with others."
"As long as you cut off the head of an ordinary soldier, you can exchange it for a hectare of field. I don't want more. I am satisfied as long as I cut off the heads of two enemies."
A military camp in Guy's country was filled with a strange atmosphere. The soldiers' faces were flushed, their expressions were excited, and their eyes were full of expectation. Not only the recruits, but also the veterans of hundreds of battles.
The root cause of everything is the military merit conferment decree promulgated after the new king came to power. Those who capture the enemy's leader can be knighted and given land. In other words, whether they are new soldiers or veterans, as long as they dare to fight on the battlefield, they can gain enough
The more enemy heads you have, the more you can change your own destiny.
But even the most excited soldiers still have a trace of doubt in their hearts, that is, whether their king will fulfill the promise he made to them.
Looking at all countries, no country has ever promised ordinary soldiers in its army to obtain titles and lands for killing enemies.
"Someone has been knighted!"
In the midst of this restless military camp, an urgent cry rang out, and suddenly, the entire military camp exploded like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil.
Just as the soldiers were agitated by the news, the officers' scoldings sounded in various camps, conveying the commander's orders.
The officers arranged the soldiers to line up and prepare to watch the knighting ceremony of their colleagues.
Group after group of soldiers, led by their officers, came to a large venue, and surrounded twelve slightly embarrassed and blood-stained cavalry on three floors inside and three outside.
Soon, someone recognized the identity of these twelve cavalrymen. They were scouts, the first and easiest unit to come into contact with the enemy.
Obviously, they were the protagonists of this knighthood ceremony. The bleeding heads hanging from the waists of these cavalrymen were enough for them to obtain knighthoods.
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, the general commanding this large army arrived. He did not say much or do anything more. He just encouraged the twelve scouts with a few words, and then directly conferred the title of No. 1 on them.
The title of 1st Class and 20th Class Peerage.
That's right, Muria directly transferred the military merit title system of the 20th grade. This military merit title system with clear levels and relying on the enemy's head for promotion can best stimulate the warlike emotions of soldiers.
After the general conferred the title and read out the benefits of obtaining the first-level title, he left directly without stopping too much. If it weren't for the extraordinary significance of the first canonization, he would not have appeared here at all.
.
But his departure did not affect the soldiers' emotions at all, and they became even more excited, because what he wanted to do had been completed. At this time, every soldier blushed and looked at the faces of the twelve standing in the central field.
Excited scouts.
The appearance of these twelve blood-stained low-level soldiers has not changed much. They just changed their hairstyle. Their hair was tied up with a hairpin by the general himself, and this is what they are as first-class knights.
, the symbol of the public servant.
As time goes by, the title of Duke will become widespread in Guy's country. After reaching a certain level, it is very likely that everyone will have one.
But at this moment, there are only twelve of them in the Kingdom of Guy. Human happiness is actually very simple. If we don't have anything, we will be happy for a whole day.
So at this time, the twelve scouts were grinning and grinning. None of the surrounding soldiers laughed at them. They all looked at the twelve scouts with envy and jealousy, and their eyes gradually turned red.
The reason why the soldiers were jealous of the scouts was not because of the ridiculously simple hairstyles on their heads, nor because of their first-class knighthood, but because of the substantial benefits they gained after becoming first-class knights.
One acre of land, one house and one servant, these are the benefits of becoming a public servant. Once you become a public servant, even a poor family can instantly become a middle-class family, and you will not have to worry about food and clothing.
What makes the soldiers even more excited is that these are only the benefits obtained by the first-class knights. There are also second-class and third-class knights behind them. The necessary knighthood can obtain more and greater benefits, and if you want to obtain the knighthood, you only need to
Just go to the battlefield and kill people.
Isn't this their duty as soldiers? They go to the battlefield just to kill people.
After this investiture ceremony, the soldiers' desire to fight was completely aroused, and their morale was incredibly high.
Then this army clashed with the army that invaded Guy's country, and the war broke out...
War is not a child's play. After the scale of the two warring parties reaches a certain level, the war will be prolonged, and the generals of both sides will continue to conduct tests.
Testing the strength of the opponent's troops, the eliteness of the soldiers, the number of strong men they have, and whether the logistics and food preparations are sufficient are the keys to determining the direction of a war.
And every trial is a small war, and the general who commanded the army and invaded Guy Country was a little confused to find that, regardless of the strong men of Guy Country, the soldiers of Guy Country's army had no contact with him before.
It's completely different.
The previous soldiers of the Guy Kingdom were not much different from the soldiers under his command. They would naturally collapse after the battle damage reached a certain level, but the current soldiers of the Guy Kingdom were simply like a group of hungry, bloodthirsty tigers and wolves.
What the commander-in-chief of the invading Guyian army did not know was that the reason why Guyian soldiers behaved like this was because after every conflict, anyone who could return to the military camp with the heads of enemy soldiers would be rewarded.
.
It is these rewards that inspire soldiers to fight bravely regardless of their lives, and do not take their own lives seriously at all, because under the military merit conferment system, everything obtained on the battlefield can be directly inherited by their relatives.
…
A group of ragged teenagers squatted at the entrance of their village, watching a cavalryman holding a scroll rush into the village, with envy in their eyes.
"Another person from our village has received a reward on the battlefield!"
"This is the first cavalryman who has come to deliver good news this month?"
"Can't remember clearly."
"It seems like thirteen."
"My dear, so there are thirteen public servants in our village?"
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, a drum sound suddenly came from the village. The teenagers looked at each other and rushed towards the place where the drum sound came from.
Soon, they saw the village chief with a stooped figure and white hair and beard in front of the dilapidated ancestral sacrificial hall. Standing next to the village chief, they had just seen the cavalry who came to deliver the good news. At this time, the cavalry with his forehand
Holding a scroll, he looked at the villagers who were summoned by the village chief and arrived in twos and threes.
After the villagers basically arrived, the cavalryman immediately began to read out the reward order in his hand.
Nothing else, this is a conferment order to confer a second-class knighthood, and the person conferred is a simple and honest young man in the village who is very unremarkable in the eyes of the common people.
"Consecrated the ten-captain Simba as the supreme leader, and granted him two houses, three big-horned oxen, and two slaves."
As soon as the reward was announced, all the villagers were in an uproar. Everyone's eyes showed envy and jealousy. The young people who heard the reward looked at each other and their breathing became heavy.
This group of teenagers left the discussing villagers and gathered in a corner.
"I want to join the army."
"I want it too."
"If I can become a civil servant, my mother, my brothers and sisters will no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold."
"But my mother said that rewards in the army are not so easy to obtain. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Only when you are alive can you enjoy everything, and when you die, you will have nothing."
A young man wearing neater clothes could not help but speak out after seeing that his companions all expressed their desire to join the army and go to the battlefield to gain military honors.
"Enjoy? Look at what kind of houses we live in, and we people have troubles from one meal to the next. What do we have? We have nothing but a miserable life.
Forget it if we didn’t have a chance before, now there is an opportunity that allows us to change our own destiny and the destiny of our family before us, and you want us to give up?"
"There's nothing to fear about death. It's better to be killed with a sword on the battlefield than to starve to death here."
"Getting military merit is not as difficult as imagined. Look at Simba, how is he different from us? He is just a few years older than us and stronger than us. That's all.
He is already in the upper realm now. Remember what his family lived in before? Let’s take a look at what he lives in now. He has fields, cattle, and several servants to serve him. Don’t you want to get these?
?”
"I think." The young man, who had been completely seduced by the rich reward for his military exploits, responded with a blushing face.
"Then why are you hesitating?"
"Let's make an appointment to join the army together and go to the battlefield to gain wealth."
…
Facing the invasion of the three surrounding neighboring countries, the Kingdom of Guy resisted fiercely and the war continued. However, while the soldiers fought bravely on the front line, the corresponding titles and rewards for their military exploits were gradually delivered to their families.
As a result, the entire Guy Kingdom was enveloped in an extremely excited mood because of the continuous rewards. Countless men of the right age left their homes and resolutely embarked on the battlefield, hoping to gain military glory and change their destiny.
As long as there is enough temptation, even the most cowardly person will transform into a bloodthirsty tiger and wolf. At this time, Guy's country is gradually transforming into a bloodthirsty and warlike tiger and wolf country, stimulated by the military award system.
The steady stream of rewards has also stimulated some strong people hidden at the bottom.
