Green Monster Epic
#865 - Divide the spoils
Makaro wouldn't know that, although their Church had great energy and could influence the layout and planning of the Dawn Empire's royal family and political circles, in the end, there were still great differences in the pursuit of interests between the Church and the royal family.
For example, regarding the expedition to the Rose Principality, the upper echelons of the Dawn Church had long put pressure on the Dawn Empire to take action as soon as possible, but they were delayed by the royal family and dignitaries with various reasons, almost causing dissatisfaction from the Church.
Fortunately, the Empire also made up for it. The scale of the army conscripted this time far exceeded the 300,000 previously promised, reaching a full 500,000 troops. By the time the army gathered, the supplies were in place, and they set off, the little dissatisfaction of the Church's upper echelons vanished.
The reason why the Empire's ruling class had been delaying was because they had greater plans and interests to pursue, but if this interest appeal was exposed to the Church, it would inevitably provoke opposition from the Church's upper echelons.
As the Human Alliance confirmed the expansion of its territory and launched an offensive against the Beastman Empire, the peace of countless years of human civilization was coming to an end. Although the most affluent Central Plains of the Hillen Continent were divided by the Dawn Empire, the Light Empire, and the Verolika Empire, which believed in the God of Justice, they were restricted to many kingdoms for countless years because they were located inland, and it was difficult to further expand their territory.
Seeing the territories of the Four Seasons Country and the Lionheart Kingdom in the east further expand with the war against the Beastman Empire, the rulers of the three major empires, Dawn, Light, and Verolika, felt a little depressed.
After all, the three major empires contributed the most in the war. Although the benefits distributed based on merit after the war were also the most, the benefits in terms of materials and slaves were ultimately not as valuable in the long run as the expansion of territory.
No powerful empire's rulers would ignore those potential challengers, and they would all maintain the privileges that had always belonged to them, and if they wanted to consolidate their power and status, the rulers naturally needed to do something.
Especially after countless years of stable regime change, the Empire's power hierarchy had basically solidified. Basically, all the large pieces of land that could be enfeoffed had already been enfeoffed. It was really difficult for newborn dignitaries to be promoted in such an ancient empire, which caused a huge crisis to brew within the seemingly powerful empire itself.
The current ruler of the Dawn Empire could be regarded as enlightened, wise, and visionary. They had vaguely noticed the problems within the Empire and had already begun to find ways to solve these crises in order to continue the rule of the current royal family and dignitaries.
The events in the Rose Principality happened to become an opportunity for the Dawn Empire to alleviate the Empire's crisis, an opportunity to expand the territory of the Dawn Empire.
Back then, the founding Grand Duke of the Rose Principality was just one of the dozens of marquises in the Dawn Empire. Later, he was promoted again for his merits. It happened that the north needed a major member to garrison and defend against the centaur cavalry of the Human-Horse Grassland, so he was allowed to independently establish the principality, but it still belonged to the Dawn Empire.
Over the years, with the support of the Dawn Empire, the territory of the principality had continued to expand, from the original two or three provinces to the current eight provinces, and it was not far from the territory and population of the kingdom.
The annexed Human-Horse Grassland territory provided sufficient land for the Rose Principality to attract talents and promote meritorious officials, but even so, there was still a large amount of uncultivated land, or simply occupied by refugees.
What the Rose Principality had in surplus was exactly what the Dawn Empire lacked. Now, it happened that the Wilderness Alliance suddenly invaded the Rose Principality. After a secret weighing and planning by the cold-blooded Dawn Empire's power holders, they had another plan.
In fact, with the training quality of the Dawn Empire's army, it would be difficult, but not impossible, for the supporting army to arrive in time before the Newnes royal city was breached.
Even if the timing of the reinforcements could not keep up with the speed of the city's fall, there would actually be an opportunity to save the Rose Principality's royal family, such as sending a large team of legendary powerhouses to Newnes City to cooperate with Makaro and the others.
However, these actions were not taken by Appledou, the commander of the Dawn Empire's reinforcements. Instead, he sent his female powerhouse to mix into the palace early, assassinating Johnson and his heir at the last moment. The Dawn Empire's purpose was already obvious.
That's right, the Dawn Empire had already planned to reincorporate the Rose Principality into its own territory, or at least support a puppet royal family to act as its white glove, making advance plans for the subsequent invasion of the wilderness.
Aaron, Au Cong and others in the Wilderness Allied Forces naturally did not know the plans of the human reinforcement commander and the empire behind him. At this time, they were somewhat fortunate to have occupied the most affluent and important capital of the Rose Principality before the human reinforcements arrived.
According to the previous promise, after all the remaining resistance forces inside and outside the capital were cleared, the allied soldiers began a wanton carnival, acting recklessly and lawlessly in this once prosperous capital.
Even the legendary powerhouses who accompanied the army could not restrain their tempers, flying over the huge city, searching for valuable areas to plunder various resources.
As a demigod, Allen could not avoid it either. The first thing he thought of was the libraries and research institutes of several large academies in the capital. Therefore, after he and Kerong defeated the lightning giant and determined that there was no place for him, he went to these areas and searched a lot.
The harvest was naturally a lot. Not many people like Allen first thought of plundering the academies. In addition, most of the headquarters of such institutions were in the inner city area, so when Allen went to plunder, this place had basically not been visited by wilderness powerhouses or teams.
The various books and materials alone filled Allen's three dimensional bags. Allen even found hundreds of inheritance crystals of various professions in a secret dark room, as well as several sets of books on spells and secret techniques.
When the powerhouses gathered in the palace, Shilan and the kobold powerhouse handed over the spoils taken from King Johnson, and Aaron and the others put the underwear and materials that Johnson had no time to move away together. The various magic equipment, inheritance crystals, and magic materials that piled up more than one meter thick on the ground of the entire palace dazzled people.
Not to mention ordinary powerhouses like Nigel and Yog, even demigod existences like Allen and Jehr had various greedy thoughts rising in their minds in the face of such huge wealth.
"How to distribute the specific spoils? Everyone is here now, so we can discuss a charter. What do you think, Your Excellency?"
Aaron turned his head with difficulty, his eyes red, and asked Allen.
"Okay."
Allen nodded. Kerong's incarnation did not participate in the meeting to distribute the spoils. To him, things in the material world were basically not attractive. At the same time, there were generals from the three major royal courts on the centaur side. If he was present, how would they distribute the spoils? Would they all contribute to him?
Therefore, for the sake of the interests of his bloodline race, Kerong simply gave up this wealth, which was very rich in the eyes of outsiders, and let Achmad and his descendants gain some benefits, which could be regarded as giving them a little reward in advance for the upcoming major events.
Therefore, Allen, as the one in the team with power and status second only to Keron, was elected to preside over this 'division of spoils' meeting. No one had any objections to his current position, after all, Allen had contributed the most in this war.
“I won’t participate in the distribution of equipment and items below the legendary level. I’ll convert my quota into knowledge-based items such as inheritance crystals, combat manuals, and professional books.”
“Any objections?”
“No!”
“Great, great!”
The crowd was overjoyed to hear Allen say this. After all, among the many powerhouses present, only Nicol was a tribal leader like Allen. Although the other powerhouses also had their own families and descendants to cultivate, these families had already collected a lot of such items over the years. Compared to these things, equipment, weapons, and magic items that could immediately improve their strength were more attractive to these powerhouses.
Not all powerhouses, like Allen, would consider the development and growth of their tribe and bloodline as their responsibility, nor would they selflessly dedicate themselves to it. When faced with huge benefits, many powerhouses consider their own individual interests more.
A few powerhouses who shared Allen's thoughts knew that even if Allen contributed the most, he couldn't possibly take all of these crystals. They would still have the opportunity to share some inheritance and knowledge, so there was no need to offend Allen, whose power and strength were so great that everyone had to look up to him.
“. According to a rough estimate, we have seized a total of 1305 intermediate magic equipment, 297 advanced magic equipment, 44 legendary equipment, 5 demigod artifacts, and one artifact-level seal from the royal treasury and national treasury.”
“. In addition, there are a total of 1209 ordinary inheritance crystals, involving 11 combat professions, and another 108 legendary inheritance crystals, 23 sets of spell books, alchemy books, and forging books.”
“. As well as 521 legendary magic materials and 1339 advanced magic materials.”
It took more than a dozen professionals a whole day to count all kinds of resources and equipment. The largest number was naturally gold coins, a full 30 million, accounting for most of the resources they had scavenged. The number of other valuable items was also amazing, at least opening the eyes of the legendary powerhouses in the field, realizing how amazing the wealth of a human country was.
Next was the wealth distribution that everyone was most concerned about. In the past, a group of powerhouses who would never嫌 gold coins were too much, but now, seeing the gold coins and gold products covering the ground, they rarely showed a look of disgust.
There was no way, this gold took up too much space and was very heavy. A group of powerhouses came out to fight and fight, but no one would be extravagant enough to carry a dozen dimensional equipment like the previous King Johnson.
Compared to these gold, everyone preferred various magic equipment and materials, but unfortunately, most of the gems in the Rose Principality's treasury were consumed to maintain the magic lock. Otherwise, with the Rose Principality's wealth, the number of gems consumed would probably be an amazing number.
The originally intense distribution meeting maintained a relatively peaceful atmosphere because of Allen's chairmanship. Occasional disputes were quickly quelled under Allen's relatively fair judgment.
The appraisers from the royal capital identified the characteristics of each legendary equipment, which eliminated the worries of many powerhouses when choosing equipment, and they could often make choices based on their needs.
Allen had originally taken a fancy to several legendary equipment, such as the legendary armor called Dawn Battle Armor, because the addition of giant bones gave the armor the power of giants, comparable to the dragon power effect of Allen's own armor.
In addition, the armor itself used a lot of precious metals, providing better defense, which could just replace the old dragon scale armor on Allen's body. And with Allen's contribution in the battle, as long as he wanted it, these equipment would basically fall into his hands without controversy.
But in the end, Allen gave up these equipment that could likely improve his combat power, and instead chose another piece of equipment—the artifact called Rose Kiss.
The artifact's own characteristics were not very attractive to individuals, because it was not a tool designed for combat, but a magic hub for a huge urban system.
Accompanying this Rose Kiss artifact was a whole set of magic lock magic tool forging manuals, city construction planning manuals, etc. Allen once sighed that the amazing and protective Newins Royal City was built entirely based on this Rose Kiss artifact and the accompanying architectural books.
The artifact Rose Kiss, in large cities built based on its accompanying books, would unfold a knight-like field of power, allowing various attacks suffered by city defense buildings to be transmitted to the entire city through the foundation and magic tools.
After listening to Aaron's description of the characteristics of this seal, most of the powerhouses lost interest. They were not tribal leaders, nor did they have the resources and interest to build a so-called powerful city.
But when Allen heard these contents and saw the dozens of thick books placed together with the Rose Kiss artifact, she immediately had a greedy thought, wishing she could immediately take it for herself.
After the Green Field Plain opened the passage connecting the abundant rainwater of the Endless Sea through the Western Mountains, its environment had already changed from barren and desolate to vibrant. Perhaps hundreds of years later, it would become a fertile land most suitable for survival, no less than the wealthy land where Mansha City is located.
But the Green Field Plain also has its own shortcomings, that is, there is no dangerous natural barrier that can become the protection of Green Lake Town, an important city of the Green Field Tribe. The existence of the Tagan Desert in the north physically cut off the communication between the Green Field Plain and the outside world for countless years, but this is not a completely insurmountable obstacle. The invasion of the elven partial division proved this.
Therefore, compared to the Muir Fortress, Allen was actually quite worried about the defense of Green Lake Town, especially in this era of turbulent continent, no matter how cautious he was about the protection of his old nest, it was not too much.
But this world is a world where magic and powerful forces exist. Ordinary city defense buildings are almost like paper paste for powerful legendary, dragons, war ancient trees and other means.
Even the two fortresses in the Cato Mountains, which have been operating for thousands of years, have only barely usable city defenses. If faced with targeted destruction like Allen and Keron's avatars, I am afraid they will not last long.
Until Allen saw the protective ability of Newins Royal City, and this complete architectural system of artifacts and books, a Green Field headquarters core that was no less than Mansha City seemed to have appeared before his eyes.
