In the past month there was no disturbance of Zergs in the frontlines. So, the army was only doing surveillance and of course killing stray Zergs that wanted to cross the border.
After doing a lot of guiding for the past month he already received a lot of herbs he could use. Even if they were soldiers of Layton Lewis of course they were not exempted from paying. That's why almost every day he has received some rare herbs from the sentinels he has guided.
Of course, we were not directly receiving them because they need to be accounted for their value after that he could receive them.
It would be unfair for others if they just gave something of higher or lower value. So, Layton Lewis assigned someone to be responsible for it.
If it is less than the value, then they need to pay the remaining star coins. If it is greater than the value, then they would be paying for the exceeded value of it or they could reserve it to be added for their next payment.
