  Chapter 44 Soldiers approaching the city

   With the word Li in the forefront, the robbery brigade, which was originally considered united, is also in crisis of disbanding at this moment.

  "Sending money" is always the biggest problem in the human world. If this problem is not solved, the robbery brigade united by interests will soon be in danger of falling apart.

  Looking at the list of supplies in his hand, Cheers Knight had a headache. Theoretically speaking, cash + materials are worth 110,000 to 20,000 gold coins, but the prerequisite is that they can be realized.

  If it’s just difficult to realize, then that’s fine. The key is that although the harvest is expensive, there are more people who can't stand the money.

   There are a total of 73 nobles in the fifth army, all of whom have to participate in the distribution of spoils, with an average of less than 2,000 gold coins per capita.

   For some poor ghost knights, it is naturally not a small sum, at least it is worth the fare.

  But for nobles with relatively good economic conditions, risking disobeying military orders and offending Earl Pierce for less than two thousand gold coins is purely worth the candle.

  Equal division is impossible. Brothers in the noble world settle accounts clearly, not to mention that everyone is just an ally.

  Theoretically speaking, distribution according to the size of the output is the most fair, and no one will suffer or take advantage.

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

   Faced with this complicated situation, Cheers Knight was powerless. Although he is the boss in name, but limited by the strength of the family, he simply cannot suppress the powerful faction in the alliance.

   The robbery was successful, and after experiencing a short period of joy, it fell into a noisy mode.

  If it weren't for Chelsea's personal strength, maybe someone would directly challenge him to a duel. In the course of the quarrel, three pairs of "combinations" have announced a fight.

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

   Of course, this is impossible. If they really played like that, the fragile robbery brigade would have to fall apart.

  The alliance cannot be disbanded, at least not until the rebellion is put down. Otherwise, the Governor's Mansion will pursue the responsibility, but no one can resist alone.

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

  He really regretted this wave. We should have known that war money is so hard to come by, and he would not bring a team out to rob no matter what.

  Deep in his heart, Cheers complained more than once that everyone had shallow eyelids, but he never left those boxes of gold coins from the corner of his eye.

  People are poor and short-sighted, and everyone fantasizes about making war fortunes. Why isn't Chelsea like this?

  If he hadn't been serving as the "robbery brigade captain" now, he had to show enough tolerance, and it is estimated that his reaction might not be much better.

   After all, it is worth more than 100,000 gold coins. It is true that evenly sharing cannot feed everyone, but for a single small noble, it is wealth that cannot be accumulated in a lifetime.

  It's a pity that no one can take it all alone. At this moment, everyone suddenly realizes that having too many teammates is not a good thing.

  After calming down, everyone slowly regained their rationality. Although they were still arguing constantly, they finally didn't meet again to go out for a duel.

   There is no surprise. Under the background that the contribution cannot be accurately measured, the distribution method that is very consistent with the rules of the world is adopted in the end-respect for strength.

  A large amount of materials cannot be realized, and the real value is difficult to estimate, so divide up the real goods directly.

  Including Hudson, who was hundreds of miles away, everyone also reserved a share. Although everyone chose the leftovers, but on the bright side, people couldn't pick the thorns.

  As the "Captain", Cheers Knight naturally got a large portion of the cake. Although it is not the most won, it can also be ranked in the top five.

  The rich harvest can be regarded as a little compensation for his wounded heart. Just looking at the alliance on the verge of splitting, Chelsea can't be happy.

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

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

  But there is no way, people’s desires are unlimited, even if the goods in this robbery are doubled, it will not be able to meet the interests of everyone.

   It was barely acceptable to everyone, and Chelsea exhausted his lips. In the final analysis, he was just a little knight who was forced to step up to the front stage by the situation. It was the first time he did this kind of "technical work", and he was really inexperienced.

   "Everyone, the agreed time is running out. We must rush back and meet up as soon as possible, otherwise we will be caught directly, and the governor will not be able to explain it."

  Many things can be done, but cannot be put directly on the table. For example, now, everyone is 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, it is useless. In order to maintain the rules of the game, severe punishment is necessary.

   Without the slightest hesitation, after distributing the loot, the robbery brigade immediately launched a long-range raid.

  …

   At noon, the coalition forces of the nobles, who were under the scorching sun, finally arrived at the city of Dadir after a series of twists and turns.

   It's just that it was delayed by a day and a half from the original planned time. If you calculate the marching speed, it is really embarrassing to see people.

  No way, the rebels really don't talk about martial arts, and they caused them a lot of trouble along the way.

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

  Although the lethality is average, it is still disgusting. The speed of the march was also forced to slow down, making Earl Pierce doubt whether the previous decision was correct.

   Fortunately, the two counties of White and Leighton are flat, and only the edge is mountainous, otherwise there will be more troubles.

  Looking at the closed city of Dardir, 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.

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

   From the indifferent voice, it can be heard that Earl Pierce is very upset at the moment. Not only because of the failure of the strategic plan, but also the anger of being rejected.

  As one of the twelve earls of the fiefs, looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, they are all high-ranking nobles, but they failed to win over an uncanonized knight.

   It's a small face, but it's also very hurt on the inside. No Hudson acted 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 in a group.

  The failure of the Liwei plan has the most direct impact on the distribution of benefits after the war. Pierce had already anticipated that after the war, a group of small and medium-sized nobles would gather together and bargain with him.
