Although the leaders of the major families generally agreed with Marek's proposal, the key question was who stayed and who left.

Although the king has a great merit in rescuing the king, everyone knows that the king has been using a strategy of suppression against the major families over the years, even if he goes back to save the royal capital, I am afraid that he will not get much benefit, at most it is to increase the first-level title, which is not of much significance to the major families who support the army and respect themselves.

And staying and continuing to attack Sado has more practical benefits, abundant booty, and a large population, which are what the major families want. So everyone opened their mouths one after another, talking about the necessity of staying for themselves, in short, they wanted to stay in every possible way.

The controversy lasted for a long time, although Marquis Marek was the commander-in-chief of the whole army, but the leaders of these big families did not listen to his command at all, and everyone could maintain a superficial harmony when their interests were aligned, but once they encountered differences, everyone only thought of their own interests, and no one cared about Malek's attitude at all.

Marek also has nothing to do about it, because the armies of these big families are all subordinate soldiers, and no one can command them except for the orders of their own masters. Malek listened patiently to these people for a long time, but he could not come up with a final plan, so he had to announce the temporary adjournment of the meeting and wait for the next day to continue the discussion.

This was not the first time that the Marquis of Marquet had experienced such a thing, and after the meeting he began to talk to people in private, which was a typical political maneuver, and the agreement that could not be reached at the meeting could only be compromised in private. Marek talked to the leaders of several large families and made a private agreement with them that the El Hira family and the king's direct army would return to their aid, while the armies of the other families would stay behind and continue the attack on Sado.

On the one hand, the reason why Marek made such a decision was that he knew that the major families were quite jealous of Elshira, because the Elshira family's combat power was too strong, and everyone didn't want the Elshira family to compete with him. On the other hand, the king hinted in the letter that he was not at ease with the Elshira family, because Herbert's previous report showed that Alshira had private contact with the Holy Army, so the king hoped that Marek would keep an eye on the Elshira family's army.

After a night of mediation, most of the people finally agreed to let the army of the Al Hira family rescue the royal capital, but Curt of the El Hira family did not know that others had made an agreement privately. The next day the meeting was held as usual, and the question was still the same, and the group discussed it in a pretended manner, and then it was suggested that the army of El Hira should be sent back to the royal capital.

As soon as Curt heard this, he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "Seeing your ghosts, why should we go back to Elsira's house, we are here to establish military exploits, what is the matter when we go back?"

Everyone knows that Curt has a fiery temper, but I am afraid that they are the only ones who blatantly say that they are unwilling to save the driver. Everyone already had a tacit understanding, so they said one after another: "Lord Curt, don't be angry, everyone knows that the reason for letting the Elshira army come back is because of your strong combat strength, if we let us go back, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Holy Cult army, which is also the king's praise for you." ”

"That's right, that's right, El Hira's combat effectiveness is obvious to all, we all admire it very much, and we can only rest assured if we let you go back......"

"Lord Curt, the war in Pesanis will take a long time, and even if you go back, can you come again, and such a big Pesanis can still have your share? ”

"If the Elshira Army returns, maybe they won't have to do anything to scare the Holy Army away, and Lord Curt should regard this as the highest honor, as the saying goes, there is no better attack than the Savior. ”

Everyone praised Al Sheila for everything, but in fact, it was to keep Curt from stepping down, so that he could honestly accept this decision. Although Curt is upright, he is not a fool, and when he sees that everyone wants to roast him on the fire, where will he honestly be at the mercy of others.

Curt sneered and said, "Since you keep saying that you have the greatest credit for returning help, then I will give you this great credit." You say that El Shera is very powerful, but I admit that, so I think that attacking Pesanes will only have us El Hira enough, and everyone else can go back to rescue the royal capital. ”

Everyone saw that Curt refused to buy it, but they didn't dare if it was hard, so they stopped talking and looked at Marek.

Marek didn't expect Curt to be so tough, in the end, it was still a profit, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Lord Curt, do you think this will work? Regardless of whether the Elsira family participates in Pesanis's next war or not, I promise to leave a share of the spoils for you when the war is over." ”

Marek's decision is actually beyond his authority, the distribution of the spoils of war is the power of the king, of course, the major families in the process of the war inevitably have to hide a part, but the big head is still in the hands of the king, only the king has the right to distribute, this is also one of the king's ways to deal with the major families. Now Marek has made such a promise, so it can be said that his future is also on the line.

Curt listened to Malek's words and suddenly fell into deep thought, and his face was full of hesitation. Marek saw that Curt did not immediately object, indicating that the matter was negotiable. However, the leaders of the other families were a little dissatisfied when they heard Malek's words, and they were about to make a rebuttal with gloomy faces.

However, Marek hurriedly signaled to everyone with his eyes, meaning that they should not object now, and everything could be discussed in private, so everyone had to suppress the dissatisfaction in their hearts and swallow the words back into their stomachs.

"Okay, I can agree to the plan, but I'll have to write it down, and you'll all have to put your seals. Curt was silent for a long time before he spoke.

Malek listened to Curt's agreement, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the biggest trouble was finally solved, as for writing it down, it was nothing, anyway, there was no one to supervise on the battlefield, and when the major families had made enough money in private, it was really hard to say how much would be left at that time. Malek nodded and said, "There is no problem with this, I will have people write it down now, and all the adults present will stamp it." ”

The boss in everyone's hearts is not happy, and the Elshira family is really arrogant, and they still want everyone to stamp, aren't their families afraid of the king's anger?

Soon the document was written, and Marek first signed it, then stamped the commander-in-chief's seal, and the others also stamped it with anger. Curt put the documents away with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Okay, in that case, then let's prepare to leave immediately, after all, His Majesty is still waiting for us, haha......"

"Damn Elshira, I want to see how long your family can be arrogant?" Many people couldn't help but curse in their hearts when they looked at Curt's smug appearance.

Two days later, Marek led the king's immediate army, and Curt led the army of El Shira on the road back to Solandaniel. At the same time, the other troops also made a retreat, pulling their troops hundreds of miles away and hiding.

The King's army and the army of Elshira, numbering about 40,000 men combined, swaggered all the way back, as if they had won a victory. In fact, Marek's heart is very anxious, His Majesty the King has a letter every day, which is like a talisman. But Curt was not in a hurry, and he even threatened his men that he wished the king would be uncomfortable for a few more days.

After four days of walking, the army gradually approached the border between the two countries, and soon returned to Correa. On this day, Marek was talking to his staff officers, when he suddenly received a report from a patrol that the road ahead was blocked by an army, and the flag should be the Holy Cult Army.

Malek's face sank immediately after hearing the report, he didn't expect the Holy Cult Army to intercept him in this place, how did they know their marching route. It is not surprising that there is an enemy to intercept it, since the king can recall the troops on the front line, then the Holy Cult Army will naturally find a way to intercept it, but I didn't expect the other party's intelligence to be so accurate.
