Sean nodded towards the mercenaries:

"Anduin and I have seen each of your contributions just now, so you don't have to fight over them.

This afternoon I will distribute rewards to you according to your respective contributions! And I will also summon the entire town to distribute rewards to you in front of everyone in the town!"

When they heard that Sean would fulfill his promise and issue rewards in the afternoon, the mercenaries immediately became excited and bowed to Sean one after another, cheering Sean's name incessantly:

"Your Highness Sean, you are the most generous lord I have ever seen!"

"I will go and convince our group leader tomorrow that I will stay at the Hetan Town branch and will not return to Yoen City!"

"What an honor it is to hand out rewards in front of the whole town! But in fact, we don't have that big a contribution..."

"I really envy you! I didn't get any credit this time. I may not be rewarded this time..."

...

The mercenaries were jubilant and excitedly discussing the prize distribution. Sean's men were no exception, each and every one of them smiled.

Sean heard what the last mercenary said and continued:

"Don't be discouraged if you didn't kill the man in black just now. Many buildings in the town have collapsed, and many townspeople are still buried under the rubble. You can go to the disaster relief now. Each person who participates in the disaster relief will be rewarded with 5 silver coins.

Add 1 silver coin for every town citizen rescued!"

"Really? Why don't you act quickly?!"

As soon as Sean finished speaking, the mercenaries quickly threw the trophies they had just gathered in front of the south gate of the town, and then rushed back to the town one by one, working with the town's self-defense forces to rescue the civilians trapped under the rubble.

Although the price standard for rescuing people is silver coins, 5 silver coins is equivalent to more than 2 days of their wages.

And unlike killing the man in black, the risk of killing the man in black is very high, while saving others is almost zero risk.

Who wouldn’t pick up silver coins for nothing?

So the mercenaries ran faster than the other.

...

…

As the mercenaries and Sean's subordinates returned to the city, the whole thing was not completely over yet, but it was finally over for the time being.

Sean sent people to block the south gate and did not allow anyone to enter or exit.

At the same time, Sean left the disaster relief work to Anduin.

Anduin organized the army, the city's guards, Sean's escorts and mercenaries together and deployed them uniformly, and began the work of rescuing the wounded after the disaster.

In order to prevent panic from spreading among the townspeople, Anduin also asked all personnel to publicize the news of their victory and return while providing disaster relief.

If a town citizen asks about what happened just now, the disaster relief personnel must also respond with the same message. They only need to answer "A group of bandits robbed the town and have now been completely eliminated."

...

...

Post-war disaster relief work is in full swing.

Sean did not participate in the disaster relief, nor did he return to the castle.

At this time, Sean had been staying on the slope behind the south gate, using a telescope to look at the magic circle still emitting thick smoke in the distance.

Although there were no signs of anyone surviving outside the town, Sean had a vague feeling that the matter was far from over.

...

Not long after, Windsor and Olga returned to Sean together.

"Your Highness Sean! We have imprisoned the female assassin! And I asked my deputy to take care of it personally. There will be no problems!" Olga said to Sean.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Sean jumped down from the slope and handed the telescope in his hand to Zude who was standing next to him.

Seeing that Sean didn't look good, Windsor said with concern:

"Sir, how is the situation over there at the magic circle?"

Sean sighed:

"It's not good. The sky-level powerhouse in the magic circle may have died. In any case, the death of a sky-level powerhouse in our territory is a big trouble!"

In the Principality of Lane, there are only 5 sky-level powerhouses on the surface. Even if the Violet family hides some strength, the total number is only about 8. The death of every sky-level powerhouse is explosive news in the principality!

Moreover, this sky-level powerhouse is probably a magician, and I don’t know if he is a magician from the Elf Kingdom or the Anjou Kingdom.

Thinking of having to deal with these foreign forces, Sean couldn't help but feel even more headache.

...

Windsor understood Sean's concerns and comforted him:

"It's okay, sir. We didn't plan this matter. If there are really strong people who come to investigate, wouldn't it be enough if we hand over the two gold-level corpses to them and explain to them the cause and effect?"

Sean shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But our fists are too small. What if they look for trouble and deliberately knock us off?"

"This..." Windsor was speechless.

"Okay, okay." Sean cheered up: "The boat will naturally sink when it reaches the bridge. Let's talk about the rest later!"

Sean glanced at the trophies on the ground:

"Wendsor, look at these trophies on the ground and see which ones you can use?"

"Okay, let me take a look."

Windsor squatted next to the pile of trophies and began to rummage carefully with his left arm.

...

Although Sean paid a high bonus this time, the value of the loot he harvested was much higher than imagined!

First, there are two gold-level warriors. These two gold-level warriors are both male warriors. One is wearing a leather armor, and the other is wearing a light armor.

They were located in the center of the explosion, and all their ordinary silver-level equipment was turned into powder in the explosion, and their weapons fell to no where.

But they left two pieces of equipment, the warrior wearing light armor left a helmet, and the warrior wearing leather armor left behind a pair of wrist guards.

After Sean's test, these two pieces of equipment are gold-level equipment!

Gold-level weapons and breastplates all start at 1,000 gold coins. Wristbands and helmets are not as valuable as weapons and breastplates, but the two pieces of equipment combined are worth at least 1,000 gold coins!

Next are two Silver-level masters. The Silver-level ranger left behind quite a lot of loot. Not only did he leave behind two Silver-level long knives, he also left behind a complete Silver-level breastplate (leather armor) and a Silver-level

Boots, and the rest are all parts of the Bronze Order.

The only Silver-level equipment worn by Silver-level assassins is daggers and boots, and the rest are in spare parts.

In addition to some expensive potions and other small things, their entire belongings are probably worth about 1,000 gold coins.

As for the remaining 18 bronze-level men in black, their equipment is almost a mix of bronze-level and black iron-level equipment.

The black iron level equipment is not valuable, and the cheap bronze level equipment only costs a dozen gold coins each. Sean made a rough estimate, and the total cost for 18 people is only about 700 gold coins.

All the gains added up to a total of 2,700 gold coins. Not only did Sean not lose money, he even made a small profit!

Moreover, most of the bonus was taken away by his own people, and Sean didn't care.
