Chapter 31: Organs of Higher Organisms
"Edmund has become a die-hard fan!"
Li Ang smiled slightly; the speed was even faster than he had expected.
Sure enough, rewards are always the fastest "catalyst" for increasing loyalty!
After rewarding Edmund, Leon's gaze fell upon Nidec.
At this moment, Nidik was filled with mixed feelings, including "overwhelmed with gratitude" and "anxious and fearful".
Just moments before, he had been so enraged by the way Sahudin was dealt with that he had publicly questioned the King's decision in a manner that was almost defiant, using rather harsh language.
Nidik didn't know if His Majesty would blame him for this, or even revoke any possible reward.
Li Ang deliberately raised his voice: "Nidec, the [First Criminal Convict Regiment of the Royal Capital] you led was extremely brave in this battle, achieving remarkable results! The evil organization in Flower Town was destroyed, and you deserve immense credit!"
After a pause, Li Ang directly announced the reward for Nidik: "Order that Nidik be promoted to Baron of the Kingdom and Commander of the First Criminal Convict Regiment of the Capital!"
"All soldiers of the First Criminal Inmate Regiment of the Royal Capital will have their military merits calculated double for this battle! Each fallen soldier will receive a 100-gold coin compensation! Wounded soldiers will receive a monthly disability allowance from the Logistics Department, ranging from 30 copper coins to 10 silver coins per month, depending on their condition!"
While rewarding Nidik, Li Ang also took the opportunity to encourage the soldiers of the First Criminal Inmate Regiment of the Royal Capital.
Military merits are doubled, which is enough to allow some soldiers to be promoted quickly!
The 100 gold coin pension was even more generous; many impoverished gentlemen couldn't afford 100 gold coins from their entire fortune.
As for the monthly disability allowance, it warmed the hearts of these criminal inmate soldiers.
In the past, the army of the entire kingdom would only provide basic first aid to wounded soldiers, and the soldiers would have to pay for doctors themselves for any further treatment.
The cruelest part is that, due to the diseases and disabilities they suffer from during the war, these soldiers, once discharged from the army, have no hope of receiving any additional compensation, and their future livelihoods are in jeopardy.
Even the tough guy Nidik couldn't help but shed two lines of tears after hearing about Li Ang's reward.
"Your Majesty, you are truly too merciful!"
"You are incredibly wise!"
"You have bestowed upon us not only titles and military merits, but also a promise and dignity that gives all soldiers a place to live and a place to die! The spirits of the fallen soldiers will surely protect the kingdom, and the living soldiers will offer you their unwavering loyalty until death!"
Nidik prostrated himself completely on the ground, praising Leon from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Nedik's loyalty also skyrocketed!
In no time, it reached 100 points!
Now, Nedik has also become a die-hard fan of Leon!
Becoming a die-hard loyalist means never betraying Li Ang, always maintaining the highest level of loyalty to Li Ang, and the loyalty level will never fluctuate, never go up or down, it will always be a single value: 100 points!
In other words, even if Li Ang were to take their lives with a knife one day, the loyalists would not resist in the slightest. Instead, they would willingly offer their necks to be killed, regarding it as their final sacrifice and destiny.
After Nidec finished bestowing his rewards, only Steward Mike remained.
This Grand Eunuch had always been Li Ang's capable assistant, handling various tedious affairs.
After all the ministers and generals had left.
Li Ang summoned Chief Eunuch Mike privately: "Mike, effective immediately, I will establish a brand new palace armed force called the [Imperial Guard]! The [Imperial Guard] will be directly under my command, guarding the entire palace!"
"The existing court warriors and court magicians are still too weak! The [Royal Guard] will henceforth bear the mission of guarding the palace, and even the capital!"
"And Mike, you will be the first commander of the Royal Guard!"
Leon immediately issued an order requiring Steward Mike to search throughout the kingdom for exceptionally talented young children and orphans, and to provide them with individual training and development.
In the future, every guard in the Imperial Guard will have a cultivation level of at least a peak Grand Warrior!
Upon hearing Li Ang's grand plan, Steward Mike was also deeply impressed.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard plan is truly ambitious!"
Li Ang nodded, then earnestly instructed, "Yes, the threats from future heretics and various alien creatures are increasing! Defending the capital and the court requires an absolutely elite force! Mike, the responsibility on your shoulders is very heavy!"
Chief Steward Mike clenched his fist: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely assemble the Imperial Guard!"
"Mike, I will soon order Andrew to convene a cabinet meeting to amend some laws. From now on, the privileges of the Grand Steward will be equal to those of the cabinet ministers, and may even supersede them in certain situations!"
Li Ang smiled and said.
This marks the first time that the power of the Grand Eunuch has been elevated from the perspective of royal law!
In the past, everyone knew that the chief eunuch was the king's confidant, very powerful, and had great real power.
However, in terms of rank, the Palace Steward was equivalent to the head of a department such as the Grain and Weapons Bureau or the Armory Bureau.
The ultimate sign of a high-ranking official is becoming a cabinet minister and then prime minister!
Now, Li Ang has essentially granted Steward Mike an "extremely high position" from a "legislative" level!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great favor!"
"Manager Mike said excitedly."
The position of Grand Steward was not high-ranking, and it had always been a "stone" weighing on Mike's mind. Now, the Grand Steward was directly on par with the Cabinet Ministers, and could finally be considered to have real power over the court!
After the reward, Mike's loyalty skyrocketed!
A moment later, Steward Mike's loyalty level reached 100 points!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained your third loyal follower!"
Today's gains were enormous. Taking advantage of the elimination of the evildoers, I encouraged and rewarded my subordinates, and all three of them became loyal.
From today onwards, Li Ang can completely trust these three people.
After finishing his official duties, Li Ang stretched and felt extremely tired, preparing to rest for a while.
A palace attendant reported that Hall, the vice president of the Ratmen Merchant Guild, had urgent business to attend to and had rushed to the palace.
Li Ang exclaimed, "Holy crap, they really don't have a moment to rest! Even the donkeys in the production team aren't like this! They're dreaming of being king and lying down for a while!"
Despite the complaints, given Vice President Hall's special status, Li Ang still summoned Hall to the main hall.
Vice President Hall beamed, "Your Majesty, the first batch of advanced biological organs has been delivered to the Chamber of Commerce's ice cellar! You may send officials to receive them!"
"The first batch of organs from higher organisms has finally arrived?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ang's spirits lifted instantly, and his previous fatigue vanished in an instant.
With the advanced biological organs, we can begin to modify the prospective knights of the Ash Knights, granting them the profession of Legendary Knight!
Now, eight alien races have declared war, their momentum is fierce, and war clouds are gathering. Li Ang urgently needs powerful warriors!
