Olekin sat proudly in the small tent, and some oil lamps were placed beside him, and the beating flames shining brighter on his golden crown.
Outside the tent, the only remaining soldiers in black are still defending the safety of the past. They are already the last elites. Many of their partners have died in battle. They are willing to continue to follow the past battles, almost because their shriveled linen bags are full. They have no faith and only fight for money.
What Olegin's arrogance sitting in the tent concealed was his worry.
I'm afraid, I can only use money in exchange for the continued support of allies.
Soon, the dukes of various tribes rushed to get news. Olekin's son Karl, because he did not find a suitable woman among the captives, he had to return sadly.
The flames are getting stronger and stronger, but the flames must not reach the coalition camps near the shore. After the war of warriors of various tribes, their ecstatic spirits were quickly diminished by physical and mental exhaustion. After eating the captured food, many of them stayed asleep, curled up beside the fire.
They are just ordinary soldiers. In this battle, many people grabbed some spoils before the flames were uncontrollable, such as small pottery bowls, cloth, iron knives, fishing nets, and other miscellaneous things. They are just ordinary people, and they have also grabbed a lot of ordinary daily necessities. Not to mention, these appliances themselves are also needed by everyone.
The fighters believe that the leader who stands as the king will distribute the large trophies that each tribe deserves in accordance with the pre-war contract. By then, every fighter who lives to the end of the battle will get a considerable fortune.
Kalmar is the last battle! The coalition has won a big victory!
Many brothers died, that is their destiny!
The living people went to sleep one after another, because they felt that if they stayed here for two or three days at most, the army should go home with the spoils.
Ordinary fighters think this way, Olekin still can't notice, the morale of his assembled army has quietly turned into a frustrated ball.
Soon, the tent became crowded, and the dukes of various tribes exuded a strong smell of sweat. They were still in lock and armor, and their faces were full of joy after the harvest.
Olegin had a majestic face, and the atmosphere was very strange.
In fact, Otto and Lurik had cleared everything through the leaking messenger.
"My brothers, you are all here, and it looks like you have also grabbed a lot of loot."
The king spoke, but no one lined up to boast that he had gained a lot, because no one was a fool. Everyone knew that Olekin would inevitably grab most of the coins, and Mellaren was the biggest winner.
Everyone thought about this, Olekin simply stated this point: "My Mellaren soldier discovered the enemy's treasury, and our army has made a fortune. Such the most precious treasure, according to the contract, its distribution right is with me. In the hands of me. Therefore, all these silvers are the wealth of my Mellaren people."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room straightened up. Everyone thought it was unbelievable that Olekin would say such a thing.
"Why? Are you stunned? Still don't understand what I said? I tell you, because this was discovered by me from Mellaren, and it is naturally my trophy."
No one was stunned at this time, even if there were so many pierced ears, Olekin's announcement of "eat alone" also shocked everyone.
In an instant, everyone stood up suddenly, and they all pointed their fingers at Olegin, accusing them of absurdity.
Originally, Wenderson of Yelmalen felt that he had been put together by his allies, but now it seems that his speculation is true.
The old guy Wenderson, who has always been known for his calmness, stretched out his fingers and yelled: "Okay! Olekin, you let us Yelmalen go desperately, and the benefits are all taken by you?! Unfair! Say yes to us. What about a lot of gold and silver?"
"Yeah!" even the Granite Oke jumped out and shouted, "Even if we send out very few troops, we have to give me silver coins."
The Granite of the Chicken Thief has been fighting almost without loss until now. The key to this is not to rush to the front line rashly. You can grab some leftovers, and Oak really knows that he has too many names for looting, and the little people of his tribe fall apart in minutes.
Can Olekin not see who is brave and who is a chicken thief?
Even Carl who was reckless knew what virtue the Granians showed in this war.
Suddenly, the king became the target of thousands of people. Every one of the dukes present had a good face, and two of them were cursing viciously.
Olekin survived for a long time, and he expected it to be like this, and he also made a plan. He is not angry, because these are in his calculations.
Unexpectedly, Karl is a great variable.
In Carl's opinion, his father can be regarded as an arrangement that made him extremely satisfied. He drew his sword abruptly and pointed his arrows at the aggressive dukes.
In an instant, the dukes also drew their swords, as if they were going to kill each other in the tent. This scene was so shocked that Liquela subconsciously got behind the old man with Carlotta, for fear that he would really splash his blood on his face .
"What do you want to do? Do you want Mingqiang? Go attack your king? Tell you, our Mellaren warriors took the money with their lives. Aren't you also catching captives, cattle and sheep by your ability? Have the people of Mellaren ever demanded from you? So why are you angry? All the silver coins belong to us, which is fair."
"Bah! This is fair? Olekin!" Wendson screamed, holding some curved iron swords. "Don't hide behind your son. Look at my sword. This is because I cut the enemy and became curved. We The Yilmalun people made a huge sacrifice, and they didn't expect to meet such a backer like you."
"Yes!" Unkrath's Ungriffe echoed loudly, "Take our money out. Don't think about pretending to be confused, everyone will see that you, Mellaren, have grabbed a large number of boxes, which are full of gold and silver. "
It was impossible to try to convince everyone, Olekin didn't want to talk nonsense. He stood up and complained that his son was too impulsive, so he pulled it away.
Olekin's cracked old face was stretched, facing the swords of his allies with a fearless appearance.
"Don't talk nonsense now. It's justified to grab things with your ability and use it for yourself. I promised. What I said was the distribution of wealth after the war. Do you think the battle is over?"
"It's over! It's all over! Kalmar has already shot down, we should evacuate." Wenderson said loudly.
"No! It's not over yet." Olekin had already received his sword, and he approached his allies, "I learned that there is still a silver fort in the east, which is already the territory of the Danes, and there is a mountain of silver coins in the area! Brother! Guys, don’t you just stick to your immediate benefits? Oh, is it the lake that limits your imagination? Follow me to the south and lay down the silver fort. The silver coins there are huge wealth that we can’t spend in a hundred years. All of you will become extremely prosperous! Think about it, the Danes are just as strong. We went south to kill the Danes and take the Silver Mountain."
Hearing, Wenderson's attitude was a little shaken: "You...you lie. You don't give me money now, how can you guarantee it in the future? I don't care, I want to withdraw, and I want you to take out the money, otherwise!"
"how?"
"If my soldiers are not rewarded, they will leave by themselves. Olekin, I understand, you want your brothers to continue to follow you south to fight the Danes! What about your sincerity? Just make a promise? We will have to. silver!"
Everyone's emotions became agitated again, and all they said was "we want cash."
But in the eyes of Otto and Liurik, the Mellaren people are going to turn back. "Well, what I was worried about actually happened. If this Olekin tears up the contract and doesn't give me wheat after the war, or delays. Damn, if that's the case, I really want to beat him up!" Rurik stared. A big event was contemplated in his eyes, and his mind was deducing the soldiers who led the Russian army into Lake Mälaren to beg for wheat.
Although the infighting Liurik didn't want it, some people don't want to be human anymore.
Originally, Olekin wanted to mark a new combat goal by himself, to attract everyone with "Silver Mountain", so that everyone could continue to follow him even if they couldn't get the silver coins.
But he ignored the fact that he knew the "Silver Fort", a Danish settlement in the south, from the servant army and the killed merchants. How did others know? How can you tell that there really is a silver mountain there? Taking a step back, who knows whether the Mellaren people who really got Silver Mountain Olegin eat alone.
Everyone was clamoring for silver coins. Everyone was threatening to get no silver coins. There was no end to the matter. All members went back to the house. As for whether to recognize Olegin’s family as king in the future, then...
This was a threat from Wenderson of Yelmalen, and Olekin was startled to sweat.
Prior to this, Olekin was not afraid of anything, but his proud private army, among them the most elite 500 people, now there are more than 70 people left after the war. The loss of the new force that maintains his power is too serious, and his greed this time is also due to his repeated weighing, hoping that the money will be used to train a group of capable men to fill his own private army.
For the time being, he knew that his power within the Mellaren tribe had an unprecedented crisis. Without an overwhelming military advantage, the wealthy businessmen of the tribe might jump out and nominate a new leader.
The war against Kalmar was a complete victory, and the weird thing is that Olegin almost loses its power.
Continuing to guard the money in desperation is undoubtedly to intensify the contradiction.
At the time of the expedition, the Mellaren Army had an overwhelming strength advantage, and this advantage has been weakened too much today.
The Yilmalun, Ankras, and Uppsala were all five hundred troops. They were actually the backbone of the allies, which stabilized them and naturally stabilized everyone. Taking a step back, those small tribes are like Granites. They simply make up the existence of the scene. It is unrealistic to expect these people to go to war like crazy. These guys can't fight hard fights. Only a tailwind fight can be motivated. With a few tricks, you don't want to lose money when you grab the spoils.
"Ten thousand silver coins, each of you three will have ten thousand silver coins, and I will give it to you now. As long as you continue to follow me to attack the silver coins, there will be more money by then."
Ten thousand silver coins were really not a small amount, and the three dukes stared straight at once.
But is this money also considered a huge sum of money? Rurik leaned out half of his body from behind his father, and could only feel that a small lake did limit the horizons of many people.
Wenderson remained angry on the surface, but his heart had softened.
Of course, it is only Wenderson who is softened.
Then the duke of the small tribe stood up and asked, "Where are we? Ten thousand silver coins too?"
After getting a negative answer, all the little dukes were furious.
"Is it because we don’t send any trophies? Why should I fight for you? Don’t you think we are slaves? Let’s not do it! Go away!" The Granite Oak took the sword and quickly made it. An unhappy gesture of leaving.
Wenderson hurriedly grabbed the brother, and said to Olegin: "At least you have to give the brothers money based on the number of troops sent, and at a reward higher than the market price of the mercenary! In my opinion, each soldier is given fifty silver coins. , We Yilmalun sent five hundred soldiers, you should give me 25,000 silver coins."
"Hey! I support this!" Oak suddenly changed his face.
Olekin furrowed his brows: "It's too expensive. It's not the money to recruit mercenaries. Or do you think that you are actually a kind of mercenary?"
"We are not mercenaries!" With anger, Wenderson gave out his own reasons: "Everyone understands that our standing in Kalmar is still the beginning, but are you confident about attacking Silver Castle? At least our brothers are all I'm very worried. Brothers are too tired. If we continue to fight, we will only be wiped out. Brothers need to be repaired for a period of time. If you really give us so much money, at least I am willing to continue with you. Everyone will continue to fight. Exactly."
Obviously, if you really follow Wenderson's request to give each ally soldier fifty silver coins, you will have to give them all the money you have earned.
After all, recruiting a group of desperadoes for a month ~ www.novelhall.com ~ only ten silver coins to support their salary. Actually? With Olegin’s own experience, two or three silver coins promised rewards, a group of peasants brought their own weapons to serve as mercenaries.
If Wenderson thinks that he can continue to go south and fight again after he has enough money, Unkrath's Ungriffe is deliberately making things difficult.
"You must give us 50,000 silver coins, and I also want to withdraw. Continue south to die, even here is full of danger."
Carl, who had been suppressed, was furious again: "Old man of Unkras, are you crazy? Fifty thousand silver coins. Have you ever seen how high a box of five hundred pound silver coins stacks up in your life? !"
Ungriffe shrugged: "I don't care. Give me fifty thousand silver coins. I must give my people an explanation."
He just estimated that Olekin was reluctant to come up with such a huge sum of money, and it would have to go through the situation of the Unklas Army, and he was naturally very clear that Ungriffe was the Duke. Everyone was very emotional, because they robbed a large number of cattle, sheep, and female prisoners, and they wanted to quickly transport them back to their hometowns. The soldiers are desperate when they have nothing. Now, they urgently need to take the captive women back to be their wives, and continue to bring the cattle and sheep back to meticulous breeding. When they had bottles and cans, they began to worry about a lot of things...
