Chapter 44: Soldiers Approaching the City
The robbery brigade, which was originally united, has also fallen into the crisis of dispersing at this moment.
"Centrifying" will always be the biggest problem in the human world. If this problem is not solved well, the robbery brigade, which is united by interests, is in danger of falling apart immediately.
Looking at the list of supplies in his hand, the knight of Chels had a headache. Theoretically speaking, cash + materials are worth 1120,000 gold coins, but the premise is that they can be realized.
If it's just hard to monetize, that's it. The key is that although the harvest is expensive, there are more people who can't stand the money.
The seventy-three nobles of the Fifth Army, all of whom had to participate in the distribution of the spoils, were less than two thousand gold coins per person.
For some poor ghost knights, it is naturally not a small amount, at least it can be worth the ticket price.
But for the nobles who were in relatively good economic condition, at the risk of disobeying military orders and offending Count Pierce, for the sake of less than two thousand gold coins, it was purely worth the loss.
It is impossible to divide equally, the aristocratic world is a matter of brothers, not to mention that everyone is just allies.
Theoretically speaking, it is most fair to distribute according to the size of the output, and no one will suffer or take advantage.
The size of the output is precisely the most difficult to define. With the exception of Hudson, who was absent, everyone in the room boasted about their big contribution.
Faced with such a complicated situation, the Chels knights could not do anything either. Although he is the nominal boss, he is limited by the strength of the family, and he can't suppress the powerful faction in the alliance at all.
The robbery succeeded, and after a brief period of joy, it fell into noisy mode.
If it weren't for Chels's good personal strength, there might have been someone who would have dueled him directly. In the course of the quarrel, three pairs of "combinations" have already announced a fight.
If Chels did not participate, according to the aristocracy's habit of dealing with unsolvable affairs, a few more duels could also complete the distribution of benefits.
Of course, this is impossible. If it's really fun, the fragile robbery brigade will have to fall apart.
The alliance cannot be dissolved, at least not until the rebellion is put down. Otherwise, the Governor's Mansion would hold them accountable, but no one would be able to resist alone.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Chels, who was furious, couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Please pay attention to your words, don't do anything that damages the glory of the nobility!" ”
He really regretted this wave. If you knew that war money was so difficult to make, he wouldn't bring a team out to rob anything.
In the depths of his heart, Chels complained more than once that everyone was shallow-eyed, but he never left those boxes of gold coins.
People are poor and short-sighted, and everyone fantasizes about making war money, but why not Chels?
If he weren't serving as the "Captain of the Robbery Brigade" now, he would have to show enough bearing, and it is estimated that his reaction may not be much better.
After all, it is a treasure worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and it is true that it cannot feed everyone evenly, but for a single small nobleman, it is a wealth that cannot be accumulated in a lifetime.
It's a pity that no one can swallow it alone, and it's not a good thing for everyone to suddenly find out that there are too many teammates at this moment.
After calming down, everyone slowly regained their senses, and although they still quarreled, they finally didn't meet again to go out to duel.
There is no surprise, in the context of not being able to accurately measure the size of the contribution, in the end, a distribution method that is very in line with the rules of the world - strength is respected.
A large number of materials cannot be realized, and the real value is incalculable, so directly divide the physical goods.
Including Hudson, who was hundreds of miles away, everyone also left a copy in advance. Although everyone picks the rest, it is impossible to find a thorn on the surface.
As the "captain", the knight of Chels naturally received a large portion of the cake. Although it is not the most received, it can also be ranked in the top five.
The rich harvest can be regarded as a small compensation for his wounded heart. Just looking at the alliance on the verge of splitting, Chels could not be happy.
From the gloomy faces of everyone, it can be seen that everyone is not very satisfied with the distribution of benefits this time.
I have to admit that Chels, the boss, has failed. The distribution that he thinks is fair has made everyone dissatisfied.
But there is no way, people's desires are unlimited, even if the goods robbed this time are doubled, it will not be able to satisfy the interests of everyone.
To be able to reluctantly accept everyone, Chels has struggled to speak his tongue. In the final analysis, he is just a little knight who was coerced by the situation and came to the forefront, and it was the first time to do this kind of "technical work", which was really inexperienced.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the appointed time is running out. We must rush back and join us as soon as possible, otherwise we will be caught directly, and it will be difficult for the governor to explain. ”
There are many things that can be done, but they can't be put on the table. For example, now, everyone is ready to be discovered, but they can't afford to be caught.
Once the matter is put on the table, it is useless for whoever pleads. In order to uphold the rules of the game, severe punishment is a must.
Without the slightest hesitation, after distributing the loot, the robbery brigade immediately started a long-range run.
……
At noon, the aristocratic coalition army under the scorching sun finally arrived at the foot of Dadir after a series of twists and turns.
It's just that it was still forced to delay by a day and a half from the original planned time. If you calculate the speed of the march, it is really embarrassing.
There is no way, the rebels really don't talk about martial virtues, and they don't cause them a lot of trouble along the way.
Either the bridge here is broken, or the road there is gone, and occasionally there is a sneak attack or something.
Although the lethality is very average, it still makes people sick. The march was slowed down, and the Earl of Pierce was a little skeptical of the correct decision.
Fortunately, the counties of White and Leiden are flat, and only the edges are mountainous, otherwise there would be more trouble.
Looking at the closed city of Dadir, Earl Pierce knew that the plan for a quick victory had completely failed, and the rebels had no intention of coming out to fight them in a decisive battle.
"Pass the order, set up camp, and attack the city tomorrow!"
It could be heard from the indifferent voice that Count Pierce was in a very unhappy mood at the moment. Not only because the strategic plan was frustrated, but also because of the annoyance of being rejected.
As one of the twelve fiefdom counts, looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, it is a great nobleman who can be ranked, and it has failed to win over an uncanonized knight.
It's small to get over the face, and it's also hurt on the inside. The absence of Hudson as a traitor meant that his plan to take advantage of the nobles of the Fifth Army was also ruined.
There is no reasonable excuse, even if you are a governor, you can't help the nobles who are in a group.
The most direct impact of the failure of the Liwei plan was the distribution of benefits after the war. Pierce had already anticipated the scene of a group of small and medium-sized nobles haggling with him after the war.
