Dark Eldar

That night, every Gludin soldier dragged his weary body back to camp. Irete was furious when he heard that all his soldiers had returned empty-handed.

"Brother, they've all earned DKP (points system). I heard it's a very fair and comprehensive reward and punishment system invented by humans. Since everyone does it this way, why do you want to cause trouble?" Eliza whispered, trying to persuade him.

"Everyone has been busy killing bugs for a whole day and night, but they haven't gotten anything. They can't even take white items. Who will want to fight with us in the future?" Brother Ire's words made sense.

"Commander! Calm down. We've fought the Zerg before, and back then, Old Lord Hawkville allowed us to pick up whatever we wanted. But this time, as Deputy Commander Eliza said, since everyone is treated equally, there's no need to argue." The speaker was the tenacious human mage, Markus.

"Alright! Since Marcus says so, everyone should just bear with it a bit longer and get a good night's sleep! I'll protest at tomorrow's meeting. Let's see what compensation Dak has to offer..." After the meeting, Gludin Castle fell silent. Occasionally, there were some loud noises; that was the Sixth Battalion (half-humans) patching holes and standing guard. Currently, the pit beneath the square leads to the outside...

At the collective meeting in Gludin City, Dak gave each battalion an additional 50 gold coins, telling everyone to keep them as they saw fit, and whether they distributed them or not was up to them. Seeing that Dak had given compensation, Ire didn't say anything more.

The Barbarian King received a reward of over 200 gold coins. He carefully stored them in his backpack. He was ready to do something. Although 200 gold wasn't much in this other world—not even enough to tip a tavern customer—he felt a pang of regret for his past self, realizing he had been a heartless killing machine. The Barbarian King wanted to save up a large sum of money to make a deal with a high-ranking goblin to install a mechanical leg. A limp was seriously affecting his combat ability and future prospects.

Secretly, the Barbarian King wanted to advance to the rank of Junior Warrior (quasi-hero), a position he was more than capable of meeting with his current combat prowess. However, before the exam (promotion match), he needed a mentor (recommender). The Barbarian King had decided that after completing all the main and side quests for Kevin Garnier, he would become the disciple of the Paladin, Old Demar, upon turning in the quests. Before setting off, the Barbarian King had spoken with Demar, who was feeding hay in the cowshed, and Demar had tacitly agreed. "I'll consider it after this trip to Dark!" Old Demar replied. The Barbarian King felt hopeful, but he considered his "limp" a constant burden. Ludar had already suggested to the Barbarian King that he either seek treatment from a high-ranking priest and have his horse's leg transplanted, but the laws of this world did not allow the arbitrary transplantation of human organs; it required "authorization" from the Order! 80% of the time, it wouldn't be approved (disapproved), as it would involve the sale of human organs.

Another plan involves using goblins. Their engineering skills can help the Barbarian King install a prosthetic limb, with the highest level rumored to be "mechanical simulation"? After enchanting with a ruby, it might even increase strength! The catch, however, is that it's extremely expensive! "Soul binding" costs around 1 gold! The Barbarian King's current total savings, including his Otherworldly storage and Kevin Garnier's backpack, are less than 3000 gold... (Otherworldly storage 2700 gold, backpack 220 gold)

At noon, Iret added 150 gold coins to the 50 he had received and generously distributed them among everyone. The 53 human soldiers, each receiving 4-5 gold coins, were overjoyed, as metal was an extremely scarce resource in Kevin Garnier; even copper and iron were rare, let alone gold!

The killer generously distributed his 50 gold coins, averaging 1G per person. As for the other camps, some were divided among the higher-ranking members, while others were kept by their camp commanders. Dark and Ludar didn't care about any of this. For them, 500 or 5 gold coins were just numbers, let alone the ownership of a mere 50 gold coins. What they wanted was an absolute boost in combat power! As for money? With the ability and time, they would eventually obtain or earn it. ("Ability and time" alludes to: scheming, plundering, and aggression, including even the most basic methods of making money, such as "grinding monsters" and "running dungeons.")

(Regarding the best way to acquire money? To put it simply, commerce and finance are universally recognized as the "kings of making money," belonging to the realm of strategy. After the parallel world auction system was synchronized, to achieve truly "fair trade," it has been managed and supervised by goblins for thousands of years. Note: The intelligent goblin race has maintained a state of neutrality from ancient times to the present!)

What were the rewards for the DK Legion in this battle? Dark didn't disclose them, and no one dared to ask. It's rumored that each soldier received 20G; Dark still seems to have a "selfish" interest in his own kind, the dark elementals...
