Chapter 472: Charlemagne Arrives
"What? Is he King Norweed? Charlemagne looked at the embarrassed bearded man in front of him and said, "Holy Father! In other words, the biggest gain of this war was obtained by me! ”
Charlemagne said, patting the shoulders of several of his friends beside him.
"Roland! Homan! Cdrik! Now we're going to be famous all over the world! ”
The other three also nodded happily, even if they only took one side, then their names would be spread along with Charlemagne, who captured King Norweed.
Charlemagne suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to the soldiers below: "Watch them well, but they must be let run!" ”
"Oh no, I'm in charge of guarding it myself!" Charlemagne changed his mind for a moment, and then said, "Now, it's time for us to join up with Father!" ”
Charlemagne said happily that the Holy War had come to an end, and he should have joined William, but now that he had captured King Lagunar, he was even more fearless, and he was now in his mind to make up for his father's praise for him after he captured King Lagunar.
At this time, in the royal palace, a number of high-ranking members of the Holy War Army also entered it, and William said with some annoyance: "I'm sorry, everyone, the leader of the enemy, King Lagunar, seems to have fled here, and we have searched the entire palace and found no trace of him!" ”
After hearing this, the nobles couldn't help but change their faces slightly, and if they didn't capture the leader of the enemy, it meant that the victory in this war was imperfect.
Looking at the nobles who were all a little discolored, King Leonac began to persuade: "What kind of expression is this?" Even if the enemy's coward king escapes, it won't change the fact that we're victorious, will it? ”
King Leonac's words succeeded in turning the mood of the nobles, and although there were still some regrets, they were still immersed in the joy of victory.
In the afternoon, all the high-ranking nobles of the Holy War gathered in the hall of the Norweed Palace.
This place, which had once gathered the nobles of the Norweeds, was now the council chamber of their enemies, the nobles of the Lordes.
At this time, every nobleman in the hall had a joy on their faces that could not be concealed, even the Marquis of Apollon, who had previously clashed with William.
There was only one person present who did not have that joy on his face, and that was King Lerna of the White Rose Kingdom, whose grandson and sole direct heir had died in the Holy War.
Now, he is facing the crisis of extinction, he only has a daughter such as Queen Dalin, which means that King Hechard is his only direct descendant besides Queen Dalin, but now, even such a last direct heir is dead.
If nothing else, his throne will be inherited by those side branches of the royal family, his older brothers, cousins, or nephews.
Although they are all members of the same family, those people are not as close as his grandson, so he really wants to cry at this time.
Although the nobles had lost a great deal of their forces in the glacial lake, the treasures found in the palace and the treasures found in the castles were quite large, and because the Norweed territory produced gold and several gold mines, they had a lot of gold tools.
If this is obtained to the hinterland of the Holy Sect World, it will definitely be a priceless treasure, don't look at these things as worthless here, but when you get to the Holy Sect World, you will definitely be able to bring a lot of wealth to these nobles.
It's worth losing those soldiers.
At this time, although the nobles were ostensibly deliberating, they were still deciding how to divide the spoils.
King Leonac consulted at the top with the other two men at the helm of the Holy Army.
Then the nobles below also began to form alliances with each other, this one supported this, and that one supported that, all hoping to obtain greater benefits.
After several hours of arguments and compromises, the preliminary principles of distribution were determined.
Countries bordering the Norvidians will receive Norwedish territory, while countries that have come from afar to participate in this holy war will receive preferential treatment in spoils.
This arrangement made everyone present quite satisfied, after all, this arrangement is more reasonable, even if the countries that are too far away give them a piece of land, it is useless, gathering thousands of kilometers, there is no way to effectively rule and govern.
This is different from which fiefs are mostly scattered noble territories, and if such a large piece of land is wasted, anyone will feel that it is a pity.
What's more, although the territories of the nobles are scattered, most of them are developed places, and even if they don't govern, they basically have income, if this Norweed territory can't be governed and can't immigrate here, then how can it talk about income and benefits, it's useless at all, it's better to choose a huge amount of gold.
In this way, a penny of gold was distributed, and then the pieces of territory were divided into the names of neighboring countries.
William was very meritorious, so he was allocated a lot of gold, if all of them were melted into gold coins, at least about 200,000 pieces, but the value of these gold objects is not only in the casting, the artistic value of which is also very high, if sold, it is estimated that it can reach 25 to 300,000 gold coins, that is, 2.5 million silver coins or 3 million silver coins.
This is more than his income in a year, and it is several times the wealth of other nobles, and many nobles are also quite enthusiastic when they look at the gold obtained by William, but thinking of William's strong strength, they have helplessly dispelled the unrealistic thoughts in their hearts.
In addition, in the hands of the Jihadists, there were more than 300,000 Norvids, among whom there were not many young and able, most of them were women, old people and children, and these people were also distributed to various nobles as trophies.
William, on the other hand, was very interested in these people, and he bought them for about 30,000 gold coins.
And those nobles themselves feel that these Norweed people are stubborn and difficult to control, and now that some people are willing to pay money to buy them, they are naturally happy to sell, and they also bought a favor for William, why not?
William also got what he wanted, he didn't pay so much attention to wealth, and if he had to choose between wealth and population, he would definitely choose population decisively.
Of these 300,000 people, about 80,000 or 90,000 are women who are still able to give birth, and with the addition of so many women, the birth rate of young children will also increase, and in addition to women, there are hundreds of thousands of young children, children, and half-grown teenagers, these are all hopes for the future.
Of course, he would not give up such a big profit for a little gold.
And while the nobles were still dividing up these interests, Charlemagne finally reached the outside of the walls of the Norwedes after a day's march.
