King

Chapter 44 The troops are approaching the city

With the word of profit at the forefront, the robbery brigade, which was originally relatively united, is now in crisis of breaking up.

"Spending money" 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.

Looking at the list of supplies in his hand, the Chelsea knight got a headache. Theoretically speaking, cash + materials are worth 112,000 gold coins, but the prerequisite is that they can be cashed out.

If it's just difficult to cash out, then that's it. The key is that although the harvest is huge, there are more people who can’t afford to spend any money.

There were a total of seventy-three nobles in the Fifth Army, all of whom had to participate in dividing the spoils, and the average amount per person was less than two thousand gold coins.

For some poor knights, it is certainly not a small sum, at least it is worth the price of admission.

But for nobles with relatively good economic conditions, risking disobeying military orders and offending Earl Pierce for less than two thousand gold coins is simply not worth the gain.

An equal division is impossible. In the aristocratic world, brothers are settling accounts, not to mention that we are just allies.

Theoretically speaking, it is most fair to distribute according to the amount of effort, so that no one will suffer or take advantage.

However, the size of the output is precisely the most difficult to define. Except for Hudson, who was absent, everyone present was bragging about their contributions.

Faced with this complicated situation, the Chelsea Knights were powerless. Although he is the nominal boss, due to the family's strength, he cannot suppress the powerful factions in the alliance.

The robbery was successful, and after a brief moment of joy, he fell into noisy mode.

If Chelsea's personal strength wasn't good, someone might have challenged him to a duel directly. During the quarrel, three "combinations" had already announced a fight.

If Chelsea does not participate, according to the nobles' habit of dealing with unsolvable matters, a few more duels can still complete the distribution of benefits.

Of course, this is impossible. If they really play like that, the fragile robbery team will have to fall apart.

The alliance cannot be broken up, at least not until the rebellion is suppressed. Otherwise, if the Governor-General's Mansion investigates the responsibility, no one can resist alone.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Chelsea, who was furious, couldn't help but angrily yelled: "Please be careful with your words and don't do anything that damages the honor of the nobility!"

This time he really regretted it. If he had known that it was so difficult to make money from war, he would not have led a team to rob someone no matter what.

Deep down in his heart, Chelsea complained about everyone's short-sightedness more than once, but his peripheral vision never left those boxes of gold coins.

People are poor and have short ambitions, and everyone dreams of making war fortune. Why is this not the case with Chelsea?

If he hadn't been serving as the "Captain of the Robbery Brigade" and had to show enough magnanimity, I guess his reaction might not have been much better.

After all, it is a property worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. It is true that even distribution cannot feed everyone, but for a single small noble family, it is wealth that cannot be accumulated in a lifetime.

Unfortunately, no one can take it all to themselves. At this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that having too many teammates is not a good thing.

After calming down, everyone slowly regained their rationality. Although they continued to quarrel, they finally did not meet up for a duel again.

There are no surprises. In the context of being unable to accurately measure the size of the contribution, a distribution method that is very consistent with the rules of the world was finally adopted-strength is respected.

A large amount of materials cannot be liquidated, and the true value is difficult to estimate, so just divide the physical goods directly.

Everyone, including Hudson, who was a hundred miles away, also reserved a share. Although everyone picked out the rest, on the surface it was difficult to find fault with.

As the "captain", the Chelsea Knights naturally get a big share of the cake. Although it is not the one with the most, it can still be ranked in the top five.

The rich harvest can be regarded as a small compensation for his injured soul. Just looking at the alliance on the verge of splitting, Chelsea couldn't be happy.

From the gloomy faces of everyone, it can be seen that everyone is not very satisfied with this distribution of benefits.

I have to admit that Chelsea, the boss, failed. What we thought was a fair distribution actually made everyone dissatisfied.

But there is no way, people's desires are unlimited, even if the wealth stolen this time is doubled, it will not be able to satisfy everyone's interest needs.

Chelsea tried his best to make everyone accept it. In the final analysis, he was just a little knight who was forced to step onto the stage by the situation. It was his first time doing this kind of "technical work" and he really lacked experience.

"Everyone, the agreed time is running out. We must rush back and rendezvous 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 cannot be put directly on the table. For example, right now, everyone is mentally prepared to be discovered, but they cannot bear the consequences of being caught.

Once the matter is put on the table, no matter who pleads for mercy, it will be useless. In order to maintain the rules of the game, severe punishment is necessary.

Without any hesitation, after distributing the loot, the robbery team immediately started a long-distance attack.

At noon, the noble coalition, facing the scorching sun, finally arrived at Dadir City after a series of twists and turns.

However, it was still forced to be delayed by one and a half days from the original planned time. If you calculate the marching speed, it is really embarrassing to see people.

There was no way, the rebels really didn't have martial ethics, and they caused a lot of trouble for them along the way.

Either the bridge is broken here, or the road is dead there, and occasionally there is a sneak attack or something.

Although the lethality is average, it is still extremely disgusting. The marching speed was also forced to slow down, which made Count Pierce doubt whether his previous decision was correct.

Fortunately, the terrain of White and Leyton counties is flat, and only the edges are mountainous. Otherwise, there would be more trouble.

Looking at the closed Dadir City, Count Pierce knew that the plan for a quick victory had completely failed, and the rebels had no intention of coming out to fight them.

"Go down with the order, set up camp, and attack the city tomorrow!"

It could be heard from the cold voice that Earl Pierce was in a very unhappy mood at the moment. Not only because the strategic plan failed, but also because of the irritation of being rejected.

As one of the twelve major fiefdom counts, he was considered a high-ranking noble in the entire Alpha Kingdom, but he failed to win over an uncanonized knight.

It's a shame that I can't live with it in terms of face, but I'm also very hurt on the inside. There was no Hudson to act as a traitor, which meant that his plan to take advantage of the nobles of the Fifth Army also went bankrupt.

Without a reasonable excuse, even if you are the governor, you can't do anything to the nobles who are united.

The failure of the Prestige Plan had the most direct impact on the distribution of post-war benefits. Pierce had already envisioned the scene where a group of small and medium-sized nobles would gather together to bargain with him after the war.
