Chapter 772 Prosperity and Frustration


Chapter 772 Prosperity and Frustration

"...The lords gathered in Green Field are now beginning to regret it. Although Ilea still insists that divine punishment will be imposed on Saturday, more and more people are beginning to realize that she is just pretending to be calm, and we are destined to lose. Lose this battle.

"Oh, by the way, Merlin hasn't shown up for many days. Some people even suspect that he has escaped... The morale of the resistance is very low now, and people leave secretly every day.

"...As soon as the army arrives, more people will surrender."

The person who is speaking now is a young nobleman nicknamed "The Wise One". He also joined the resistance army led by Ilea, but when he saw that the situation was not going well, he ran away early.

I heard that Solomon's army was in Yanxue City, and they rushed over to surrender without stopping.

Clovis brought him to Tristan and Balin, who told him about the current situation in the green fields.

After he finished speaking, Clovis added, "What he said should be true. He is not the first person to escape. Many nobles from Ilea have come to my place before. , please ask me to help them intercede with Lord Solomon.

Tristan and Balin looked at each other, both with joy in their eyes.

"The time is ripe for launching a decisive battle," the head of the Penlos family said. "The army has also rested for two days. It is time to go out to level the green fields and end this war."

Bahrain also grinned and said, "I heard that the woman named Ilea has made a lot of money over the years. In order to redeem Prince Olli, His Majesty was blackmailed by her for a total of 70,000 gold lions.

"I have come here with a heavy responsibility to get back this money that originally belonged to the dwarves.

"In addition, I also heard that Shuangxiujiao makes a lot of money by selling cheap fabrics, a special kind of white paper, and some kind of magic medicine that can make men rejuvenate.

"Before the expedition, Lord Solomon promised us that we could take half of the spoils. If this is the case, then we will divide the half of the spoils equally."

When Tristan heard this, he couldn't help but cursed the dwarves' greed in his heart. Balin immediately insisted that the 70,000 gold lions paid by the dwarf king Here to Ilea was blackmail.

Therefore, when the spoils are divided later, the 70,000 will not be among them, and will be exclusively enjoyed by the dwarves.

And this is not over yet, the equal division seems fair, but you must know that there are less than 20,000 dwarves this time, and the rest are noble lords and their warriors recruited from various places by Solomon.

How could so many people only take half.

Therefore, Tristan rejected the dwarf general's proposal without hesitation, "Let's divide it according to head count, or military merit. Whoever contributes more will get more."

Balin frowned. Although the dwarves had sophisticated weapons, they were really few in number, so they would not take advantage of them in terms of head count or military merit.

However, he couldn't find a good reason to refute Tristan, especially according to the distribution method of military merit. If Solomon were here, he would definitely agree.

So Balin rolled his little eyes, and an idea struck him, and he came up with a new idea.

"Then let's divide it according to military merit. Our main goal this time is to kill the female lord named Ilea and the prophet Merlin of the Shuangxiu Cult.

"If someone can bring back the head of one of them, they can get 10% more of the loot, and the remaining people will share the remaining 30%."

Tristan sneered in his heart. The dwarf general had almost written his plans on his face. After the war started, they would definitely put all their efforts into killing Ilea and Merlin.

But this time Tristan didn't refuse. He didn't want to continue arguing with this careless and greedy dwarf.

The Penlos family is not short of money, and he doesn't really care about Shuangxiujiao's wealth. He just needs to give an explanation to other noble lords.

Today's distribution method is much more reasonable than the previous one at least on the surface, and Bahrain is so confident that he can get extra loot, but the final result may not be as he wishes.

Maybe it's not as much as the head points.

"Then let's do it." Tristan said calmly, and ordered the attendant to tell the other lords, and the army would set off after lunch.

The soldiers of the coalition forces were also quite excited after hearing that they were going to besiege Green Field.

Many of them, like the dwarves, also covet the wealth of Shuangxiujiao and the Arias family, and want to make a fortune there.

And along the way, they encountered almost no decent resistance. They fought and won consecutively, and there were rumors that the resistance army was on the verge of collapse. The final battle should be easy.

While some people are proud, others will naturally be disappointed.

When Solomon launched an attack on the Western Territory, Clovis also cooperated in arresting the Shuanghui monks and Saturday believers in the city.

Many people, including Ilea's great-grandmother Ona, were arrested and thrown into the dungeon. The female lord once wrote a letter asking Ona to leave, but the latter refused.

The old man acted very calmly, saying that her end was approaching and she had only a few years to live. If Clovis and the Wing Tribe people wanted to kill her, they should just kill her.

It just so happens that the other nobles in the Western Region can see how the Figuerola family treats their vassals.

In addition to Ona and other Shuangxiu sect believers, there is also a very special prisoner locked in the dungeon.

——Ivan, the former intelligence chief of the empire, was sent to the West by Solomon as a special envoy not long ago. But with Lanita being captured and the dragon lost, there must be someone unlucky to carry this. Blame the mouth.

So Ivan was also arrested for no apparent reason and was imprisoned in Yanxue City, waiting for Solomon to decide his fate.

Although because of their past friendship, Clovis did not make things difficult for Ivan and arranged for him the cleanest cell. Daily meals were also provided separately, as well as wine and meat.

But the feeling of waiting for trial was not pleasant, and with the political wisdom of the former intelligence chief, he could guess that he was in danger this time.

Solomon was a smart man and should have been able to see at a glance that he was wronged, but Solomon also needed to answer to Zebulun.

If killing him would make Zebulun happy, Solomon would not hesitate at all. Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help but sigh again.

Just then he saw two Wing Clan members walking in from outside the dungeon.

The former intelligence chief thought Solomon had arrived, so he subconsciously shrank his neck, and the two Wing Clan members, led by the jailer, also walked towards him.

One of them said, "Follow me."

"Where to go?" Ivan asked warily.

"Luye." The Wing tribesman waved his hand impatiently, "Why don't you come out to be our translator because you know our language?" (End of Chapter)
