Chapter 14 Establishing Authority
Next to the motorcade.
"I...we won?!"
The leader of one group was helped up from the ground by other guards, somewhat in disbelief.
so fast? So easy?
Um...it doesn't seem easy.
Thirty or forty people were lying there, and several were dead.
"We won!"
At this moment, Lin Ke, who was covered in blood, was already standing on the roof of the car and shouted loudly: "The glory of Azan, protect us!"
"The glory of Azan..."
The guards murmured to themselves and looked at each other, still in a daze.
"Azan's glory!" At this time, John ran out, waving his little fist and shouting.
All the guards looked at each other, and then they were so blessed that they immediately raised the swords in their hands and shouted:
"Glory to Azan!"
"Glory to Azan!"
"Glory to Azan!"
Some servants were also moved with emotion and shouted together.
While shouting, their eyes were also focused on Lin Ke.
Some of them vaguely remembered the previous rumors.
It is rumored that their young master announced in public yesterday that he is the "King of Azan".
Now, they looked at that little figure with reverence in their eyes.
The people in the motorcade looked at Lin Ke's blood-stained figure standing on the roof of the car. Under the reflection of the sun, they only felt that it was radiant.
…
At this moment, Lin Ke blinked.
[Mission successful]
[You have exuded the irreplaceable light of leadership and repelled the invading enemies with this]
[Task reward: to be collected]
Mission successful!
Lin Ke was not too happy, but breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He looked at the system not to see the rewards, but to see if the invading enemy had actually been repelled.
If it was truly repelled, the mission should show success.
Now that the mission is successful, it seems that the two dark blue tigers will not come again.
Lin Ke relaxed a little and clicked on the mission reward.
"Xiao Linke!"
At this moment, among the cheering crowd, Lin Ke's mother climbed onto the roof of the car using her hands and feet without caring about her grace. She hugged Lin Ke regardless of the blood stains.
I couldn't help but cry when I hugged her.
"Uuuuuuuuu, Xiaolin...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I cried for a long time without saying a complete sentence.
Lin Ke had no choice but to put the sword aside and gently patted his mother's back to comfort her.
My mother has always been a twenty-five-year-old little girl...
The guards and servants began to take care of the wounded. There were too many injured just now.
After a while, Lin Ke's mother cried herself to sleep.
Lin Ke estimated that his mother had never gone out to fight with that fucked-up father before, otherwise why would she have cried so much in such a small scene.
Asking the servant to take his mother down, he began to deal with post-war issues.
"Mighty Mr. Lin Ke, please allow me to follow you! Until the stars fall, the world collapses, and the rules are destroyed...even until death."
Suddenly, Nicks, the bunny man from before, knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Ke and said with respect.
Lin Ke grinned.
The system rewards are here, followers who never betray.
When the surrounding servants and guards saw this scene, they only felt a sense of solemnity and envy.
It was solemn because the words spoken by Bunny Nicks were the heaviest and heaviest oath, which was equivalent to giving his whole body to Lin Ke.
Envy is because these servants and guards don't even have a chance to follow.
Their level is too low, they are just civilians.
Unless there is something special or someone is appreciated, like this bunny man, he is not even qualified to follow the nobles.
"Get up, Knicks." Lin Ke helped up the furry Knicks, feeling very good in his hand.
"Yes, sir." Bunnyman Nix stood up obediently.
"Wait for me in the carriage first. I have something else to ask you. Now I'll deal with the battlefield first." Lin Ke said softly.
Nix nodded in agreement, then turned into a white shadow and rushed back, very fast.
Lin Ke also went down: "Those who died in the battle, take their bodies back and be cremated. The injured will lie down in the carriage to rest. The guards will continue to patrol!"
"yes!"
The guards shouted, much louder, with smiles on their faces.
After experiencing their first victory, their energy and spirit were completely different.
Although some people just held the hilt of the sword from behind and made sure not to stab the person in front.
But morale is often built up from less to more.
"Master, what should I do with Rosfort who just escaped?" At this time, the leader of the third group came forward and asked.
After all, it was killed by Lin Ke with one sword.
"That's a deserter! Do deserters know!"
Lin Ke sighed inwardly, tightening all his pity and trying to sound very angry: "His body is not allowed to be cremated! Throw it into the woods for the jackals to eat! "
He now had to create a feeling among all the guards that if they ran away they would die, but if they fought they could still survive and gain honor.
This way, when encountering a battle in the future, they won't break up in a rush.
"Master...are you not allowed to cremate the body?"
The leader of the third group was stunned, and asked again as if he couldn't believe it: "I mean, Roswell just ran away, I think..."
According to the custom here, the dead must be cremated, otherwise they will be found by some ancient and cruel necromancers after death, and then their souls will be imprisoned to endure endless pain.
It's just like in the previous life, if you can't be buried, you will be visited by ghosts.
At least here, necromancers really existed in history.
"Huh?" Lin Ke listened to the words of the leader of the third group, and his face was furious and serious.
Seeing Lin Ke's expression, the leader of the third group, although he was in his twenties, still lowered his head in panic: "No, no, no, he deserves to die, he deserves to die!"
Lin Ke snorted coldly, stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "Why do you think I want to kill Roosevelt? Do you think he shouldn't die!"
He realized that many of these people used to be old farmers, and they didn't know about morale, defeat, the sheep effect, the broken window effect, etc.
Not only did they not know, they would also question his decision!
In an era of underdeveloped information transmission, power cannot be concentrated in one place, which may mean being sidelined or breeding endless corruption.
He must establish his authority!
The authority of force is not available now, but the authority of knowledge and thinking must be established first!
He is that authority!
"Roosevelt is a deserter! Do you know what a deserter is!" Lin Ke said loudly in a stern voice:
"At that time, Roosevelt wanted to run away, and many others wanted to run away! If one person ran away, there would be a second person to run away! In the end? In the end, everyone ran away!"
"Those two ferocious tigers will kill everyone here first, and then catch up with you and kill you one by one! Do you think you can outrun those two tigers with enlightened bloodlines?"
The two tigers just now were very fast, and their sense of smell was sensitive, and they couldn't even get rid of the rabbit man Knicks who was so fast.
"Even if one or two people run away, where will you go? Back to Azann Castle? Do you think who will accept you as a deserter who has abandoned us? It's good enough if you are not killed."
"Or survive in the wild? Can you hunt? Can you make a fire? What if your clothes are torn? What if you get sick? Not to mention other bad situations..."
Lin Ke finished speaking in one breath, and asked a series of questions in a row, leaving the guards speechless.
Only then did they realize that the consequences of being a deserter were so serious!
Lin Ke saw that the guards began to use their poor brains to think one by one, and his expression eased a little. He spoke again: "Three team leaders, I will reward one group with ten gold coins, and two and three groups with six each! You must distribute them fairly!"
"This is to reward one group of guards for stabbing the giant tiger!"
