I have a Mount and Blade panel and I kill people in the Game of Thrones

Before leaving, what Leon didn't expect was that some Night's Watch ranger leaked the news. He heard that one could quickly become stronger by following Leon for one day, and that there would be a good salary every week while away.

Immediately, many Night's Watch recruits were moved and chose to join Lyon's team.

"I say, paying salaries to the new recruits, such a creative thing that even Old Bear has never done, how did you come up with the idea?" Jon had a helpless expression on his face. He had just come to see him off at the order of Old Bear, and he heard from many new recruits that Lyon would pay everyone a weekly salary.

This is not an unusual matter. It is the same for the residents living in the fiefdoms of the major lords in the North. If they fight on the lord's territory, the lords will not pay them wages. At most, they will provide a lunch. Once they go abroad to fight, they have to rely on salaries to unite the team.

But Lyon is not a lord and he is not fighting abroad, so what kind of salary is he getting?

But thinking that Lyon must have his reasons for doing things this way, Jon didn't try to persuade him. He just wished Lyon a safe journey and let him go.

To be honest, if possible, Lyon would also like to respect the tradition of the Night's Watch, but this is a system regulation, which is deeply engraved in the minds of every recruit. If Lyon does not pay their salary when it is due, even if they were still brothers with Lyon yesterday, Lyon will never see them again the next day.

This was a bit life-threatening. The four gold dragons in Lyon's pocket, which were not even warm yet, had already turned into enough food supplies for fifty people to survive in the wild for a week and weapons for these people to fight a few small battles.

He didn't even have enough gold royals in his pocket to pay for recruiting people in the village where the land was donated, not to mention the weekly salary that was due. However, Leon did not show it on the surface. He just acted like a nonchalant southern tycoon, and no one could tell that he was just pretending to be rich.

While Lyon appears to be calm and composed on the surface, he is secretly plotting something sinister: At worst, when the salary is about to be paid, he can find an excuse to have one-on-one sparring with the recruits, and teach them a lesson one by one, and then he will get the gold dragons, right?

Defeating one person earns one gold dragon, so their salary of 1 bronze stars equals one silver deer, which is nothing to worry about.

There is a saying that goes, the wool comes from the sheep.

But we must blame the evil Mount & Blade panel. They actually imposed such an evil system of weekly salary on Lyon.

After leaving the Black Iron Fort, the team marched on the road. The original rapid mobility of one man and two horses was no longer a concern. The recruits who could ride horses got on their horses, and the recruits who could not ride horses quickly followed the two carriages. On the one hand, they wanted to protect the supplies on the carriages, and on the other hand, they could easily take up weapons to fight if they encountered the enemy.

"Sam, how many gold royals do I need for my weekly expenses?"

In the team, Leon leaned against the carriage piled with supplies like a mountain, and asked Sam who was walking nearby in a casual tone.

This was also what Leon did deliberately. After yesterday's training, Sam had become a qualified Night's Watch ranger, but he was too bloated. He had to seize every opportunity to exercise. It didn't matter how much Sam lost, but at least he looked more comfortable.

Hearing Leon's question, Sam, who was out of breath and flushed, immediately started to rack his brains, trying his best to calculate every expense of the team.

To be honest, this kind of math problem is not difficult for high school student Leon, and he can probably solve it in a few minutes.

But Leon also had the mentality of adapting to local customs. Other great lords did not do math problems themselves, but their scholars did it for them. He wanted to train Sam to be the first university scholar under him.

"Reporting to the Lord, the weekly salary of the 19 rangers in the team is 380 copper stars, and the weekly salary of the 31 recruits is 310 copper stars. In the wild, each person consumes about one and a half kilograms of food, half a kilogram of meat, and half a kilogram of side dishes every day. Adding up, the weekly food cost is 500 copper stars. The cost of military horses and equipment also costs 500 copper stars, and there are some miscellaneous expenses. Adding up, the weekly expenses are about 18 gold royals."

After calculating for about half an hour, Sam gave a vague answer.

"Does that mean I have to earn at least 18 gold royals every week?" Leon said to himself.

Others might think this was an astronomical figure, but Sam, a nobleman from Horn Hill, thought it was a reasonable expense and not a large amount.

As the descendant of the famous general Randyll Tarly in the Riverlands, Sam had been exposed to some military knowledge since childhood even though he didn't like it.

Compared with the expenditure of an army of tens of thousands, the expenditure of Lyon's troops can be said to be pitifully small.

After all, Lyon's group is more like an armed tour than a troop.

Apart from that, Sam was not worried about Leon. After all, Leon looked calm and composed, just like a nobleman who had a generous treasury prepared by his family when he was away from home.

Leon was happy to use his personal treasury to subsidize the Night's Watch, and Sam wouldn't say anything.

But he would never have thought that Lyon had no intention of being taken advantage of for free. If he really dared to ask for salary, he would be beaten first.

"How long will it take to reach Grey Crow Village?" After Lyon learned about the troops' expenses, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, while casually asking about the destination.

"We will probably be there by this time tomorrow."

Sam seemed to have memorized the map of the area in his mind, and after a little thought he came up with an answer.

At this moment, Hod, who was on guard outside, rode back on horseback and shouted to Leon who was lying on the carriage, "There is a group of robbers ahead, ambushing us!"

"What? Most robbers would have run away long ago when they saw so many of us. How dare someone ambush us?"

Sam's eyes widened. Even though the area around him was crowded with new recruits of the Night's Watch, he looked terrified. He looked around subconsciously, and found everything suspicious.

Huo De couldn't help showing a sneer on his face, and said as a matter of course: "There are so many people in our team protecting two carriages. Even the dumbest robbers know that this is a tough guy. Since they dare to ambush us, they must be outnumbered and well prepared."
