Richard looked at the patrol soldiers who were burning green-skinned corpses, and his eyes looked back and forth on the heads of the soldiers wearing iron armor.

After this battle, Richard roughly figured out the gap between his third-level soldiers and the patrol soldiers. According to the performance of the amateur mercenaries of the patrol team, the combat effectiveness is almost the same as that of the second-level Ming soldiers under Richard.

However, the second-level Ming soldiers under Richard's command were not as good as veterans among the amateur mercenaries of the patrol team. If they lined up, the gap would be greatly narrowed. The more people the number of people, the greater the advantage of Richard's system soldiers.

If it were a third-level Ming army soldier, whether it was a formation or a one-on-one fight, he could easily crush those amateur mercenaries of the patrol team.

The reason why the patrol team in Dashi Town hired mercenaries is mainly because the Dashi Town patrol team's big head soldiers were very fast. Except for a few who were destined to be confidants before the military heads were recruited, most ordinary soldiers were later added with young and strong men.

Most of the young and strong people who dare to join the patrol have two factors - poverty and courage!

Therefore, even though most of these patrol soldiers have seen blood, they still cannot hide the fact that they are still ordinary people. In addition, the patrol team has always been disbanded in military discipline and lacks training. It is no exaggeration to say that they are amateur mercenaries...

Mercenaries refer to the nature of their war for money, and amateurism is the evaluation of their combat effectiveness!

Although the patrol team now has 2,000 people, Richard is confident that he will defeat them with these more than 300 system soldiers!

However, those military leaders did not come to fight from beginning to end, and Richard couldn't figure out their foundation. According to the patrol tradition, the military leaders who could be recruited either had martial arts or had many bandits under their command. In other words, Richard was completely suppressed in the competition at the warrior level...

Of course, on the battlefield, the army still relies on the strength of the group. Not to mention a single warrior, even a group of warriors will be killed or injured if they rush to the military formation!

However, Richard was not afraid of the spear on the battlefield, but was worried about his personal safety. His Taoist identity and Taoist soldiers had already spread throughout Dashi Town. As long as the people in Dashi Town are not fools, they all knew that the best way to destroy him was not to be on the battlefield, but to capture the thief first!

This is also the reason why Richard has always paid attention to staying in the protection circle of soldiers under his command.

However, Richard felt that it was not safe enough. He took out the bulletless revolver, gritted his teeth and resisted the temptation of using the lucky coins to exchange for the Ming army's heavy crossbowman, and began to draw.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for extracting the p18c fully automatic pistol, using standard 9mm pistol bullets, with a magazine capacity of 17 rounds, full magazine loading, no external accessories, and the shooting mode can be adjusted to single-shot or automatic.]

After seeing 17 bullets, Richard was secretly happy. This was a pistol that could switch to automatic shooting mode. The pistol in automatic shooting mode is not much different from that of a submachine gun!

With this gun, Richard suddenly felt more secure.

He already has the capital to confront Dashi Town, and now he has modern firearms for self-defense. As long as he does not commit suicide, he should not be in danger of his life in the short term.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the sky had dimmed and the patrol team began to set up camps on the spot. Richard's people were all in one place on the edge of the camp.

Because Richard was too strong, under Zhang Rui's intentional guidance, the military leaders of the patrol began to spontaneously reject Richard.

These military leaders did not have the idea of ​​resisting the Tang Dynasty court. Now Richard is hostile to Zhang Rui. Behind Zhang Rui represents the Dashi Town government, which means that the Dashi Town government has a bad impression of Richard. Even if the military leaders are stupid, they know that being close to Richard may be pulled into the camp of confrontation with the Tang Dynasty government!

If these outlaws who were recruited had the courage to fight against the government, they would not stay in the patrol!

Therefore, in order to express their political stance, the military leaders of the patrol avoided Richard's team like avoiding the plague god, let alone meeting Richard himself.

However, Richard was quite satisfied with this situation. He, an ordinary person, dared not have close contact with those extraordinary military leaders...

After fighting against Green Skin, Richard's team became clear from the heads of the patrol team!

Zhang Rui made an indelible contribution to this!

The next morning, the patrol team began to return to Dashi Town. The green skin had already been solved, so naturally they had to return to Dashi Town to pay attention to their merits.

Such large-scale battles often do not count as green-skinned heads for a single person, but rather rank the level of military merit rewards based on who is rushing on the battlefield.

Basically, as long as you go to the battlefield, everyone can get a reward.

The life of a green-skinned goblin can be cashed in 1 Tang coins, and the life of a green-skinned orc can be cashed in 10 Tang coins. The green-skinned strand that the patrol team will be rewarded and then handed over to Zhang Rui's team to distribute in public to show justice.

The mercenaries and military leaders of the patrol team were nothing more than rewards. No one dared to be greedy for this money!

Of course, if the reward is paid, the military leaders will naturally take the big one. In this battle, they can get more than 1,200 Tang coins, and the military leaders can get at least 60%. If the soldiers are lucky, they can get the remaining 40%...

It can be said that an ordinary amateur mercenary can only get less than a quarter of the value of the Tang coins in this battle.

However, the families and relatives of the soldiers who died in battle can receive an additional pension of Tang coins.

If there are unregistered family members and relatives, the government will use pensions to buy a coffin for the dead to bury them.

This practice is still humane in this era when human life is like grass.

However, such a low reward is very attractive to the military leaders, but it is not very good for the soldiers at the bottom. Most young and strong actually join the patrol team for a meal.

After returning to the patrol camp, Zhang Rui thought about the secret order from the guard who had been sent back by his confidant last night, and turned his head from time to time to look at the Richard Daoist soldiers hanging at the back of the team.

As usual, these military leaders, including Richard, would stay in the patrol camp for a period of time, waiting for the reward to be distributed.

However, this time, the government of Dashi Town was very generous. After noon arrived, they distributed a lot of food and wine to each military leader to reward the army!

Richard didn't think anything at first. The patrol team won the victory and the government rewarded the army seemed very normal. After all, Taoist soldiers also needed to eat.

However, when Richard discovered that the food and wine for the reward army were distributed to various troops by the government officials in person to the camp, rather than to the patrol team, he realized something was wrong.

While the other military leaders were bringing soldiers to eat and drink, Richard frowned at the food and wine distributed separately in his camp.
