Dadir City, Coalition Command.

For the distribution of interests after the war, the two earls are fighting for each other at the moment, and they do not see the gentleness of the past.

People are in the circle of interests, and they can't help themselves.

As the leader of the nobles of the southeastern provinces, Earl Pierce not only has to fight for the interests of the Dalton family, but also for the nobles of the province, at least on the surface.

The lands of Leiden and White have long been regarded as the things in the pocket by the local snakes, and they naturally do not want to have foreign forces share the cake.

It's easy to invite God, it's hard to send God, the situation in the southeastern province is complicated enough, and it doesn't hurt if the small and medium-sized nobles come in, but now the people who want to intervene are the big forces of the kingdom.

Once these guys are allowed to plant a nail in the land of the two counties, the supremacy of the Dalton family is bound to be affected.

If you don't take advantage of the current time for the distribution of benefits, unite with the younger brothers to block these strong dragons outside, and it will be difficult to expel them later.

Although the Dalton family is powerful, looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, there are more than a dozen big forces that can compete with them.

Perhaps among the great forces, the fief area of the Dalton family is not the largest, but the richness of the territory is one of the best, and everyone is not coveted for a day or two for the fertile soil of the southeastern provinces.

From the king's standpoint, it is most advantageous to let these great powers check and balance each other and maintain the balance of domestic political power.

The original political structure of the southeastern province was broken, and if there was no external intervention, most of the territory of Leiden and White counties would sooner or later fall into the hands of the Dalton family.

Even if Earl Pierce now generously expressed his willingness to give most of the spoils to the small and medium-sized nobles, the annexation of territories has never been an overnight thing.

If you extend the time, you will find that after many small and medium-sized nobles obtain fiefs, they will be lost in the following decades for various reasons.

As long as you carry through the initial period of weakness and go through the accumulation of several generations, you can really stand firm.

In contrast, the great aristocracy is different. The meat you eat can be digested directly. It doesn't seem like a lot to eat every time, but it's a big number over time.

Even if you pay attention to eating and don't deliberately seek territorial annexation, under the effect of the strong and strong, the territory controlled by the great nobles will continue to grow.

Seeing that the major domestic forces wanted to go to the southeastern provinces to get a piece of the pie, out of the need for checks and balances, they naturally chose to push the boat along the river.

As the specific executor, Count Vlado represents not only the king at the moment, but also the major forces of the kingdom who want to intervene.

Rubbing his forehead, Count Pierce said righteously: "The glory of the nobility cannot be desecrated, fairness is the foundation of the kingdom, and we must give priority to protecting the interests of the heroes who put down this rebellion!" ”

They were all forced out, and instead of giving the territory to these strong dragons who crossed the river, Earl Pierce would rather keep it to his own younger brother.

Although the nobles of the southeastern provinces are not very peaceful, they are still much cuter than these greedy predators.

The lesser of two evils.

No matter how big the ambitions of the younger brothers are, they can't stand their own lack of strength, and the territory is only temporarily stored in their hands, and sooner or later they will return to the Dalton family.

These strong dragons crossing the river are different, they are all top predators, and they rarely spit out when they eat them. Once it's let in, it's one more group of contenders to grab food.

"Of course, the interests of the heroes must be protected, but we also have to consider the goodwill released by all parties.

Your Excellency the Governor, the Alpha Kingdom is one. We must not limit our vision to the southeastern provinces, but must consider the overall situation. ”

Count Vlado hinted directly.

It is a pity that Count Pierce is not at all interested in this olive branch, and even rejects it.

Originally, the major forces of the Alpha Kingdom were all playing their own games, and there were few behaviors that crossed the line. But with the succession of Caesar III, the situation changed.

The king deliberately indulged the major forces to reach out, and at first everyone was able to resist temptation and abide by the rules of the game, but they just played on their own one-third of an acre, and soon some people could not control their greed and took the first step.

Some people took the lead in eating the meat, and the latecomers soon emerged in an endless stream. It's just that the expected great merger and development did not happen, but because they reached out to each other, their interests were intertwined and they pulled each other back.

Relying on the political means of using strength, several big nobles who showed signs of not losing their tails were beaten one by one by Caesar III, and their arrogance ceased to exist.

A new system of political equilibrium was established, and the declining royal power was miraculously reborn in the hands of Caesar III.

If it weren't for the great loss of royal power in the last continental war and the loss of a lot of territory, Caesar III would probably be able to become a generation of heroes.

When encountering such a boss, Earl Pierce knew that he couldn't have fun, so he always behaved very peacefully. No matter how big the bait was, he maintained restraint.

It is a pity that he refrained, and his colleagues did not. After all, the first-class wealth of the southeastern provinces, as a happy big landowner, can't go out and grab some rotten land that has little value.

But other big nobles can't, especially the guys in the north, the land itself is barren, and they are harassed by orcs from time to time, and their production is greatly affected.

In order to resist the invasion of the orcs, they all fought with all their troops, and their finances were severely deficient, all supported by subsidies from the kingdom.

In recent years, although there has been no war in the northern frontier, the small war has definitely not been broken. If you want to accumulate military merits, it is the best choice.

It's just that the military exploits in the north are easy to obtain, but the fiefdom is not easy to defend! Fortunately, after a year of hard work, the orcs came at harvest time.

The major nobles have children gilded in northern Xinjiang, and many people are knighted for their military merits, but everyone can push the fiefdoms in northern Xinjiang, just waiting for other places to come out of the pit.

Knowing that he couldn't shirk it, Earl Pierce said ruthlessly: "The southeastern province is a part of the kingdom, and it is indeed necessary to consider the overall situation, but the demands of the local nobles cannot be ignored.

Considering that the kingdom lacks fiefs and has too many heroes, we can cede some of our territories, but for the sake of appeasing everyone's emotions, this division should be limited to baronies.

As the governor of the southeastern provinces, I am willing to lead by example, carry forward the spirit of aristocratic humility, and give up the reward for this meritorious service. ”

Hearing "lead by example", Vlado secretly scolded shamelessness. Those who don't know think that he has great military achievements, but in fact, as the governor of the southeastern province, it is his duty to quell the rebellion under his rule.

If the responsibility for the fall of the previous two counties is not investigated, then it will give face. Originally, it belonged to the meritorious service of wearing the crime, and it is simply funny to talk about giving up military merit at this time.

It seems that Earl Pierce gave up the reward, but in fact, the Dalton family will not lose any less. The children who gilded on the outside did not announce that they had given up this opportunity to obtain a fief.

The Dalton family, as the head snake of the land, did not lose, but a group of strong dragons who wanted to meddle in the southeastern province were forced into an embarrassing situation.

For small and medium-sized nobles, the barony is indeed a big temptation, but for the big nobles, it is purely chicken.

Nails can be inserted, but they have limited potential. No matter how well it develops, the ceiling is still there.

Unless the family increases its investment and merges regardless of the appearance of the game, but if it is not careful, it will lose its prestige and cause everyone's resistance.

Originally, I wanted to refute, but seeing Count Pierce's unquestioning expression, knowing that this was the bottom line of the Dalton family, Count Vlado, who didn't want to offend people to death, nodded.

"Your Excellency the Governor's suggestion, I will truthfully report to the royal capital, and the final result will wait for His Majesty's ruling!"
