For those veterans, there is no reward better than the lord's recognition.
If it weren't for some injuries holding them back, they would want to return to the battlefield now and declare their loyalty through the death of their enemies.
Lance's prestige was built on the corpses of enemies through battles, but what truly united everyone was the lord's acceptance.
Only he was willing to stoop down to listen to the feelings of these ordinary people.
More importantly, the lord knew how to respect them, even if they were just insignificant ordinary people.
This scene also stirred some fighting spirit among the new recruits, their slight fear overshadowed by fervor, for they too desired the lord's recognition.
For this reason, the brutal battle seemed less terrifying.
At that moment, Lance seemed to sense something, he couldn't help but look outside.
But then he turned back, smiled, and told them to rest early and heal, before striding out.
