"Well, that display was quiet impressive Wu Kong." I heard as we turned to see the Guildmaster on horse back approach us before departing from his horse before approaching us with a slight smile on his lips.
"Guildmaster, I take it we have passed your test?" I ask to which he nods while stroking his chin.
"Yes, even though the only one to actually fight in this battle was you alone Wu Kong, my informants told me of how you originally planned to play out from your strategies and strength alone I would have expected few losses, so congratulations, you have all passed the test and have officially become Mercenary Generals, you now have the full right to lead armies of Mercenary's under your command and serve whatever lord you see fit, and with what you done Wu Kong I won't be surprised to see requests from across the land from many lords after they here the words of your strength, same goes for the rest of you, now it is for you to decide what path you take and where you shall go from here on out, but as for the rewards for a job well done." He said before he turned as a cart came to us and a familiar face was seen which made me smile.
"Zhao Yun!" I was surprised to see him here, this man was my older Cousins right hand man, but he let him go and Join Liu Bei as he was in awe of him and how he treated the people of China and left My Cousins services with his blessing.

"Yo- *Ehem* Yes it is I Zhao Yun, I came along with your Guild Master to make sure the battle was won or lost before reporting back to my lord, but not only did you succeed but almost nobody died in this battle, lord Liu Bei won't punish these misguided peasants and I shall oversee this area for the time being until everything is put back into order along with Xiapi building some military infrastructure to have soldiers roaming these lands to keep the peace and stop the Bandits of Pengcheng from being able to raid the lands around here, and as such I have come to give your army the rewards its owed." He explained to us as hit patted on the rather magnificent cart that he came on.
'I think he stopped himself from calling me Young Master just then didn't he?' I think to myself as he was one of the people who helped teach me in how to use weapons when I was younger, especially my proficiency in the spear.
You went in back to check and there were plenty of chests along with plenty of other things that could become ancillary's for our personal use along with New more well made Weapons to choose from.
Seeing Ancillary's I was more focused on them than the silver, gold and Jade as well as the Weapons as I required neither of those besides what I will be given for this quest which I will be getting paid for with a bit extra to it over all.
Ancillary's are specifically from Total War Three Kingdoms and they have varying effects for the one carrying them at the time as they can buff the user specifically or buff them and the army they are leading, there were several that I could use but I can only select one for now so I looked until I saw it.
Book of Mountains and Seas: Allows the user to know hidden pathways across China that speeds up travel along with the speed of the users horse and Calvary in the users army, +10% to daily Travel Distance for you and your Army, +5% Increased Movement Speed for all Units in the army you are apart of, +6pts to Authority.
Seeing it I decided to take this specfically as my extra reward for myself as I put it away into my robes and becoming part of my inventory.
Authority: 65(85)/200 -> 71(91)/100
"Have you already gotten what you have wanted?" Zhao Yun asked me to which I just nodded and revealed the book I had chosen.
"This should make it easier for me to travel around the country." I said before putting it away once again.
"Of course, and here, this is your portion of the reward money and a bit extra for such an excellent job." Zhao Yun said as he tossed me a rather large bag filled with coins to which I was surprised to see it was gold instead of silver, and I counted 200 gold coins at that.
"Zhao Yun, this is to much! I can't just-" I begin to say but he just holds up his hand and waves it off.
"No, you and your allies went above and beyond to get this job done, it's the least I can do for you and the others, though don't mention this to the rest of your army or else they'd get jealous, but then again you are the Legendary Dragon Mercenary now, soon enough your prestige will be known to all when the word begins to spread of what you did here." He said to me which made me scratch the back of my head.
"Legendary Dragon Mercenary? I think that's a bit much." But with that display and more than 700 people who will begin to travel across the country, as well as the freed peasants who will definitely spread the word to Xiapi of what happened this day.
"I don't think so, but no matter as now the four of you must decide what you shall do now and where you wish to go." Zhao Yun said as we all gathered together as the guild master tossed all of us our papers signifying our official ranks along with our badges with the word 'General' printed on them.
"But for now it's best we make the journey back to Langye and after that you are free to do as you please, work with each other some more or don't it's entirely up to you who you work with and who you will serve." The Guildmaster says to us which we all nod in agreement.
After this battle my name would spread far and wide and many of the lords of the land would come to request my aid in particular.
And of course Chinas Greatest Warrior, Lu Bu, would hear of my exploits as well.
