Bab 93: Finally a bit of Wealth

Alexander began his speech, "We have not had any coin for the last two months. And so morale is running a bit low."

"But, as many of you know, by the grace of the gods we have managed to acquire some. So, I believe the soldiers deserve some." He lightly smiled.

"The commander is the best," Remus unable to hold his excitement loudly cheered and was joined by many others.

Alexander let the murmurs decrease and gave the exact numbers, "All eight hundred of will get our full pay, five thousand tustas, two thousand in coin, and three thousand in goods."

"Each ordinary soldier will also get an additional five thousand tustas as a gift from me," Alexander transformed the things he 'stole' from the Cantagenans into presents, turning him from a thief to a philanthropist.
