Of course, until the end, the court earl did not give out the reward of baron.
Because his clever butler found a few cheap dancers and got these clever soldiers drunk.
When the soldiers woke up, they found that they had been tied up and sent to a city gate.
An old man with an old face was watching them from a distance. The old man wore a heavy crown, a gorgeous sheepskin robe, and a long beard.
The old man was very angry. He was holding a scepter and kept shouting something to the people around him.
The two sides were far apart, almost twenty people apart.
At this time, the court earl, whom they were still familiar with, came over and conveyed the old man's will:
"Untouchables, tell the great King Harry III how you stole the divine power! Such power should only be inherited by the royal family!"
"This, this is what the messenger of God gave to us. It's the messenger of God. He came down from the sky, his whole body was glowing, and he tapped our heads with his scepter, and we have such power." Among the clever people.
, the smartest one, was the first to react.
"No, the God Envoy used a ball of green light to green us, and then we had this power." The second soldier corrected.
"Yes, what you said is right." The third soldier said to the second soldier.
The smartest soldier sighed, his teammates couldn't drag him away.
They all look smart, but there are also levels of smartness.
He said that just to highlight that he was remembered by the divine messenger, which would make the nobles have scruples.
And the words of these guys make it easy for people to think that they are just countless ordinary people who have received divine power, nothing surprising.
The king turned to look at a minister beside him and whispered a few words.
The minister called the court count and conveyed a few more words.
The count of the palace looked a little helpless, but he still walked back to the soldiers: "Send over your strength, and you can be pardoned from the death penalty and only be punished as slaves."
"Why? We are the warriors who defeated the devil!"
"We have meritorious service, we should be made a baron, no, a knight!"
"Why should you treat us like this?"
The soldiers were completely incomprehensible. They clearly came to surrender, but why were they treated like this by the king and ministers?
You don’t reward yourself by taking ten thousand steps back, but you shouldn’t punish yourself either, right?
Their minds, which had never played the noble game, naturally did not know that when they followed Lancelot on the road to march into the royal capital, they were labeled as "rebels".
This is the information gap. No matter how clever your brain is, without relevant information, there is no way to make inferences and avoid traps.
"Hit me!" The minister called the guards, picked up the whip and whipped several people.
A few people felt no pain, their hands and feet were just tied up, making it difficult for them to exert their strength.
"Is this divine power? It's really magical." When the king saw this scene, he immediately understood.
He is definitely no match for Lancelot.
The other side has 7,000 soldiers who are not afraid of pain, but he only has 10,000 elite soldiers.
If both sides kill each other's two thousand, his soldiers will collapse, and the other side will still charge.
As for defending the city and not leaving.
That is to tell all the nobles of the kingdom that the king is no longer able to protect them.
At this time, the nobles will wait and see, and then collude with the rebels.
What follows is a drama of marriage and betrayal.
The king was very familiar with this trick, because that's what he did.
After his father died unexpectedly, the eldest brother, who was the legitimate heir, suddenly besieged the castle. He ran to negotiate with the nobles and finally inherited the throne...
A person who has cut off contact with the outside world can be considered dead, as is the heir, and so is the king.
"Go find the envoy immediately! Tell him that I can give him the sacrifice and piety of all his people!" He immediately shouted to the ministers around him.
Soon the horse will leave.
It just takes time.
And Lancelot's reward army is right in front of the level.
It can be delayed for one day, two days, or three days, but the longer the delay, the greater the resentment of the soldiers.
"Seven thousand knights, I can grant them the status of honorary knights, but I can only give them twenty acres of land, ten acres of cultivated land, ten acres of wasteland, three slaves for outside farming, and two sheep, one for ten people.
Cow..." The king counted on his fingers.
More than half of his and the queen's property must be divided.
The power of the royal family will be reduced a lot, and it will no longer even be the opponent of several grand dukes.
This is too bad.
But if he can win those soldiers over, he can launch a campaign against other kingdoms and take back the land and slaves a hundredfold!
The king had a good idea in mind.
Then he gritted his teeth and issued the order to award the reward.
It can be said that Harry III is definitely a wise old king, not fatuous at all.
If it were anyone else, who would be willing to give more than half of the territory to a group of poor people?
Oh, a poor ghost with supernatural powers, isn’t that still a poor ghost?
Some people might only use empty honors to tease the soldiers, but that's not him.
He understood very well the peasants' desire for land, which was just like the nobles' desire for gold.
A piece of land of your own, land that does not require rent, is too precious.
There are also slaves, precious slaves, who can do a lot of hard work and make the whole family much easier.
This is why the soldiers are most active in the battle to plunder slaves, because as long as the slaves are obtained, they will not pay compensation.
However, King Harry III never expected that such a generous grant would be ridiculed after it was announced!
"Hahaha, look at our King Kang. We killed such a violent and powerful demon king, and he only gave us ten acres of land. By the way, there are still ten acres that we need to cultivate by ourselves!"
"A knight should at least have land that can support a war horse, three pack horses, armor, weapons, and a loyal attendant! That requires at least two villages!"
"But our King Kang only gave us ten acres of land and three slaves. This means that the noble knight has to work in the fields by himself!"
"Ask me, is there such a knight?"
Lancelot revealed the king's shabbiness without mercy.
This made the king furious.
"This damn bastard, this shameless person who once swore allegiance to twenty lords, has absolutely no bottom line!" he said angrily.
The king has the right to be furious.
Lancelot was talking about knights hundreds of years ago. As the population increased, there were more and more knights. Many knights had no land at all and had to sell their lives to the lords in exchange for money.
They swore allegiance to the lords and rallied during battle, and the lords would pay them salaries and departure fees.
Therefore, some knights took advantage of the lack of information and often swore to several lords at the same time. There was even a knight who pledged allegiance to two hostile lords at the same time. After going to the battlefield, he killed the other "self" and then carried a
The shameless thing of taking a commoner’s head to receive a reward...
The king is now willing to give out twenty acres of land, as well as cattle, sheep and slaves, which is already very important.
They are still not satisfied. Is there really endless land and wealth in the world?
