Working Prophet

Chapter 772 Prosperity and Frustration

"...The lords gathered in the green field are starting to regret it now. Although Ilea still insists that the divine punishment will be brought down 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, and some people even suspect that he has escaped... The morale of the rebel army is very low now, and people secretly leave every day.

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

The person who is speaking now is a little noble nicknamed "The Wise Man". He also joined the rebel army led by Ilea, but he ran away early when he saw the situation was not good.

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.

And after he finished speaking, Clovis added, "What he said should be true. He is not the first person to sneak away. Many nobles from Ilea's side have come to me 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 a decisive battle," said the Patriarch of the Penrose family. "The army has rested for two days. It's time to set out to flatten the green fields and end this war."

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

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

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

"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, these 70,000 will not be among them, and will be exclusively enjoyed by the dwarves.

And that's not the end, the split seems fair, but you have to know that there are less than 20,000 dwarves this time, and the rest are noble lords and their fighters recruited by Solomon from all over the place.

How could so many people only take half.

Therefore, Tristan rejected the dwarf general's proposal without hesitation, "Let's divide it according to the head, 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 plan on his face. After the war, they would definitely put all their energy on 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 additional spoils, but the final result may not be as he wished.

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 have hardly encountered any decent resistance, and there are rumors that the rebel army is on the verge of collapse, and the final decisive 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 Shuangshu 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 to ask Ona to leave, but the latter refused.

The old man was very calm, saying that she was approaching her end, and she would have a good life in a few years. If Clovis and those Yi people wanted to kill her, then they would 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 Yiwang was also arrested for no reason and locked up in Yanxue City, waiting for Solomon to decide his fate.

Although because of their past friendship, Clovis did not make it difficult for Yvonne 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 the trial is not good, and with the political wisdom of the former intelligence chief, he can guess that he is in danger this time.

Solomon is a wise man, and he should be able to see at a glance that he was wronged, but Solomon also needs to answer to Zebulun.

If killing him would make Zebulun happier, Solomon would not have any hesitation. Thinking of this, Ewan couldn't help but sighed again.

At this moment, he saw two Yi tribesmen walking in from outside the dungeon.

The ex-intelligence chief thought it was Solomon who had arrived, and subconsciously shrank his neck, and the two Yi clansmen, led by the jailer, came towards him.

One of them said, "Follow me."

"Where to go?" Ivan asked warily.

"Lvye." The Yi clansman waved his hand impatiently, "You don't know our languages, come out and act as an interpreter for us."
