Chapter 149 The battle for spoils!
Before Spiegel could speak, someone among the soldiers suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, General Meng has gone too far. We just took part of our own according to the usual practice. We have to risk our lives to go to the battlefield. Don't we even have the qualifications to get a little spoils of war? This has not been the case after previous battles. "

The burly man with a face full of flesh said confidently.

As soon as he said this, the other soldiers immediately echoed. Although Meng Kuo had a high reputation among the soldiers, there seemed to be quite a few supporters for this strong man.

Spiegel was a little stunned. Meng Kuo was the highest officer of the Griffin City's city defense force, and this strong man, no matter what his military position, could never be bigger than Meng Kuo, yet he dared to choke him like this in front of his face.

"you are?"

Spiegel wondered.

"I'm Li Ye, deputy general of the city guard."

The strong man is full of spirit.

Spiegel felt strange, he scanned the faces of these soldiers one by one, and almost everyone had an expression of approval for Li Ye.

"In the past, when the orcs came to attack the city, it would be nice if we could defend Griffin City. You didn't even have a chance to seize the spoils. If it weren't for His Majesty's war pet to turn things around this time, Griffin City would definitely be breached. We are already dead at this time. In the hands of the orcs, no matter what strength you have done, what qualifications do you have to take the spoils of war."

Meng Kuo said angrily.

"That's wrong, didn't we kill a lot of orcs?"

Li Ye refused to accept.

"That's just chasing and killing a few frightened orcs after His Majesty defeated the orcs. Are you willing to say it?"

Meng Kuo sneered.

"How good are you, Meng, don't be shameless."

Li Ye suddenly felt ashamed, swearing, and raised his sleeves as if to fight Meng Kuo, but was immediately stopped by the soldiers around him.

For a while, there was chaos here, and Spiegel frowned, and the army with only more than 200 people was divided into factions?

Behind Meng Kuo were the knights who attacked with him today, while Li Ye was surrounded by infantry.

It seems that Meng Kuo's faction is better equipped, while Li Ye's faction has more people.

"Meng Kuo, does the city defense army have military regulations?"

asked Spiegel.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes."

Meng Kuo said.

"Your Majesty, you come to judge, we are going through life and death for you."

Seeing that Spiegel ignored him, Li Ye refused to let him go.

"Presumptuous! Your Majesty has his own judgment, Li Ye, how dare you talk to Your Majesty like this!"

Meng Kuo shouted angrily.

"What? Can't you tell the truth? General Meng, your family has a great career, how do you know the hardships of our leading soldiers?"

Li Ye sneered back.

"Meng Kuo, is there a stipulation in the military regulations that it is not allowed to take spoils of war on the battlefield without permission?"

Spiegel still ignored Li Ye and asked Meng Kuo again.

"There is such a thing in the military regulations, but who will do things completely in accordance with the military regulations, so if we are rigid, do we still have something to eat?"

Before Meng Kuo could speak, Li Ye answered first.

Spiegel's eyes fell on him. How could this little lieutenant have the confidence to speak such nonsense in front of him.

"It turns out that there is this in the military regulations, so it's easy to handle. You haven't said what punishment will be imposed for violating this military regulation. Can you tell me?"

Spiegel said with a smile straight into Sight Ye's eyes.

Li Ye suddenly felt cold all over his body, and his back was like being pricked by needles. He didn't say anything for a while, but looked at the teenage boy in front of him in surprise.

He had a hunch that if he said it, he might really suffer.

"Forgot? That's okay, Meng Kuo, tell me."

Spiegel looked at Meng Kuo and smiled lightly.

"Article 18 of the military regulations, those who search for property on the battlefield without permission, beheaded!"

Meng Kuo spoke loudly.

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of many soldiers changed. The military affairs of Griffin City had been abandoned for a long time. Most of the soldiers did not know that there were military regulations, let alone what consequences their actions would have today.

"Your Majesty, do you want to punish us for this little fortune? We are your most loyal supporters. If you go to war because of such a trivial matter, it will chill the hearts of everyone in the city."

Li Ye called Qu Dao.

He felt that with so many soldiers together, Spiegel couldn't really do anything to them for this little spoil.

If people like Meng Kuo represent the aristocratic class of Griffin City, then they are the local snakes of Griffin City.

Everyone's family's relationship network is almost connected. There are blacksmiths, carpenters, pharmacists, tailors, etc., almost including all the professionals in all walks of life in Griffin City, and they have agreed to advance and retreat together. It's an alliance of the working class.

Even when Ye Yuandu took control of Griffin City, he didn't dare to attack them, and he still had to sell some benefits to buy them off.

That's why Li Ye dared to be so unscrupulous. If they moved them, Griffin City would immediately be paralyzed.

"Can this king understand that you are threatening?"

Spiegel's smiling expression disappeared, and he stared at Li Ye coldly and said.

"No, no, of course we dare not. Your battle pet is so powerful. There are so many orcs today that are not enough for them to kill. It goes without saying for us."

Li Ye changed the topic.

"But kill us, it's not easy for you to be a king in Griffin City. Now people from all walks of life in the city are from our family. You understand, sell me face, I promise I won't do it next time." Take the spoils again."

Li Ye was worried that Spiegel was too young and had just arrived, so he would really mess around if he didn't understand the forces behind these soldiers, so he made it very clear.

Spiegel really didn't know before that such a small army still had such a complicated background in Griffin City.

No wonder such a lieutenant general has such confidence. It is not worth it to be sure that Spiegel will not kill them in accordance with military regulations because of this loot. This account can be calculated by a normal person.

But Spiegel is not Nohara Poison, he is not calculating the immediate account, but the long-term interests of Griffin City.

The army is the most disciplined place, where bargaining is allowed in military regulations, it must be implemented to the end.

What's more, the families of these soldiers have monopolized various industries in Griffin City. Spiegel didn't know it before, but now he knows that they will be the next one to rectify.

"This king will give you a chance now, and it is also the last chance. I don't want to go into the details of what happened before, but from now on, the military regulations must be implemented to the end. You immediately hand over all the things you searched outside the city today. Wang promised not to blame the past, otherwise he would have to be dealt with according to military regulations."

Spiegel ignored Li Ye's self-righteous condition and turned to the soldiers.

The soldiers looked at each other, unable to make up their minds, it was only Meng Kuo just now, they still had the guts to resist orders.

But now His Majesty the King has spoken, and his prestige reached its peak when he dispatched his pets to defeat the orc army today. The soldiers dared not listen to his words, but they were unwilling to give up their possessions, and looked at Li Ye one after another.
