Many bandits had died in this battle. There were more than 20 bodies in the small castle alone, and more than 20 had died in the battle outside. Only a few bandits were still alive, and two of them were gangsters. As for the leader of the gangsters, Jerry, he was already dead.
Lin Tian had let them off the last time because he felt that they did not deserve to die. He was hoping that they would learn their lesson after their punishment. Who knew that not only did they not learn their lesson, they even dared to attract the bandits. Naturally, he would not let them off again!
These few people had also made Lin Tian realize one thing, and that was that he had to eradicate the roots of the problem.
Many of Lin Tian’s subordinates were also injured, but that was it. As there were more people on Lin Tian’s side, once they were injured, there would be new people replacing them. Hence, no one suffered life-threatening injuries.
“Lord, what should we do with them?” said the sheriff.
Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, “Execute them publicly. Burn their bodies to prevent a plague.”
“Yes, Lord!”
The battle with the bandits had completely established Lin Tian’s authority in the tribe. The people in the tribe saw how powerful Lin Tian was. They looked at him with respect, even more than before.
A large number of bandits’ corpses were dragged out of the castle. Before their corpses were dragged out, someone had already searched through all of their money and belongings. Of course, they would be handed over to Lin Tian.
In the end, they found 20 gold coins from the bandits, of which 10 gold coins were from the bandit leader alone. Including their horses, each of which was worth at least 10 silver coins. The spoils of this battle were very rich.
The livestream was very lively.

People who gave gifts came one after another. The screen was filled with the special effects of the gifts. Even if someone wanted to chat, they could not see what the comments were saying.
The traffic in Lin Tian’s livestream increased rapidly. In a short period of time, a large number of people flooded in. Even the newcomers were a little confused as to what was going on. Without waiting for the old viewers to explain, the livestream went dark.
Many viewers were very confused.
[Why did he stop the livestream right after I arrive?]
[This streamer is something else. He stopped the livestream just like that!]
[Wilful. This streamer is too willful!]
Although the livestream had turned dark, many of the viewers did not leave. Instead, they started chatting in the livestream room. Some of the viewers were watching the replay of the livestream just now.
In the town square, the sheriff picked up a document and read it out loud. The document in his hand was the execution document of the bandits.
Many people had already gathered around the square. After the sheriff finished reading, a few bandits who had their heads covered were pushed onto the gallows together with the two gangsters. They were publicly executed.
Returning to the castle, Lin Tian forced Mary to drink some very bitter Chinese medicine.
“Drink the medicine.”
Mary’s face scrunched up. “It’s so bitter!”
“Bitter is good. Good medicine tastes bitter,” Lin Tian said.
Mary pinched her nose and drank the medicine, then laid down again.
“Although you’re a magician, I will still protect you well. As for today, I have not fully recovered yet. Otherwise, I could’ve killed all of them.”
Mary was still upset about her performance today. As Lin Tian’s guard, how could she let Lin Tian take action?
Lin Tian said, “I believe you. You should rest well.”
Hearing his words, Mary felt warmth in her heart and slowly fell asleep.
After leaving Jenny to take care of Mary, Lin Tian left the castle and walked to the small town.
The few bandits had been publicly executed. Next, there was another important thing, which was to reward them based on their performance this time.
Dozens of people from the tribal army stood there with their backs straight. Lin Tian stood in front of them and swept his gaze across them. Their performance this time was pretty good.
“Daniel, step out!” Lin Tian said.
“Yes, Lord!” A man around the age of 30 heard this and immediately took a step forward, stepping out of the group.
This man was the man who had the best performance in this battle. During the battle, it was thanks to his leadership that Lin Tian’s subordinates, who had no combat experience were able to fight in an orderly manner.
“From today onward, you will be promoted to the rank of captain. Your monthly salary will be increased to 500 copper coins.”
Daniel’s face revealed a look of joy. “Thank you, Lord!”
The cheers of a few children and a woman could be heard from the crowd, where were his wife and children. The rest of the people were very envious.
Lin Tian continued, “In this battle, you killed two enemies by yourself and worked together with your teammates to kill one enemy. You have commanded well. This time, you’ll receive a total of 80 silver coins as a reward. As this is your first battle, I will directly reward you with one gold coin.”
Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Daniel was filled with gratitude. “Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!”
His wife and children were also filled with gratitude. As for the surrounding people, they were all extremely envious, especially the other members of the tribal army. They were all regretful. If only they had been able to perform a little more valiantly before.
In Lin Tian’s tribe, many people could not earn a single gold coin in ten years. However, after a battle, not only was Daniel’s status promoted, but he also received a gold coin. Naturally, he was envied.
Lin Tian also made it very clear that since this was their first battle, the rewards were very high. After that, there would be a more detailed reward plan.
After Daniel received the reward, Lin Tian called out another person.
Previously, during the battle, Lin Tian had promised that one bandit killed was equivalent to 20 silver coins, but the five-man patrol team in the castle only had five silver coins as they were just finishing the bandits off. However, such a reward was already a huge reward for the residents of the tribe.
Normally, Lin Tian would not have offered such a high reward. However, in that situation, he did not have a better choice because he was afraid that the residents would be scared off by the bandits. After all, there were too many of them.
If they did not take care of the bandits outside and all the bandits charged in, Lin Tian would not be able to do anything by himself. Even though he had twice the physical fitness, his stamina was still limited. Not to mention that he had run a long distance and consumed a lot of stamina. A handsome reward was the most suitable method.
In the end, more than a dozen people received a reward of 20 silver coins. A few others killed the enemy together with their teammates and received 10 silver coins. The few members of the patrol team also received quite an amount.
In the end, Lin Tian paid a total of about five gold coins. He received 20 gold coins from the bandits. After deducting five gold coins, there were 15 left.
This battle was profitable. Not only did he win some gold coins, but all the recruits had also gained some battle experience. The next time they encountered bandits, they would be at an advantage.
After the rewards came the punishments..
