Chapter 370 Privately Dividing the Spoils

Seeming to see that Liszt was hesitant, Captain Layden approached and reminded in a low voice: "Master, the Grand Duke's order is not to accept prisoners."

The Grand Duke's dragon is not dead, he is still the sole authority of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.

Of course, Liszt will not have a "conscience" and let these people go. From the moment they are determined to resist, it is the result of life and death. Turn back and be right.

His gaze swept over a group of people kneeling on one knee.

He said slowly: "Captain Raiden, give each of them a chance to write a suicide note, hand over the elves, and then let them kill themselves. Copper, Nash, take over the castle, clean up the threat, and we will rest in the castle for a day. Ma Kus, you lead the knight team and follow me to patrol outside."

Don't ask how these surrendered knights will end themselves.

Liszt went straight to the barley field on the other side of the castle. The mouse revealed that the barley field was giving birth to an elf worm. He was going to secretly contract this elf worm as his own personal trophy. This elf worm was unknown to others, so he swallowed it It works without issue.

The barley field is easy to find. I used my magic eye to look around, and soon found the protected barley caterpillar fungus.

Among the huge ears of wheat, the magic power is shining brightly. The barley worm has not been born yet, but it should be soon, maybe within a day or two.

Finding the elf worm, but not being able to take it away immediately, made Liszt a little upset.

He was still in a hurry to go to Ox Hair City to join the Earl, and together they would sweep up Earl Sneijder's Knights, robbing the battle exploits, and had no time to stop here.

But since you don't plan to leave today, you can still wait.

He thought: "If the barley worm is bred before tomorrow morning, I will contract it immediately; if the barley worm is not bred before tomorrow morning, then...let Marcus stay here temporarily to take care of the wounded, and wait for the barley worm to be bred , Dig out the caterpillar fungus and bring it with you."

Digging out the Cordyceps is very troublesome, and it may harm the Cordyceps itself. The best way is to reward the subordinates with a contract, and then let the elves move the Cordyceps by themselves.

Spirit worms can be used as reward items to reward followers.

But usually no lord is willing to do this.

Because the spirit worm only has two contract times,

The lord has already contracted once. After the cancellation, the elf worm can only contract again, and the value will be greatly depreciated.

The elf worms sold in the market are all wild elf worms without contracts.

The barley worm in front of him obviously met the conditions for a reward, but Liszt was not willing to reward his subordinates. He would rather give his subordinates a large sum of gold coins to buy elf worms than give up the elf worms he encountered.

"Philip, you lead two followers and squat here to keep an eye on the birth of barley worms."

"Yes, my lord."

After inspecting the barley caterpillar fungus, Liszt quickly led the knight team back to the castle. At this time, the castle had been replaced with a black tulip flag.

Captain Layden greeted him: "Master, all the knights of Mane City have committed suicide. We rushed a group of civilians from Mane City and dragged the corpses away for burial. Now we have begun to count the inventory in the castle, and there is enough food and water, but none for the elf worms."

"do not have it?"

"Yes, these knights have all received news that they transferred the elf worms to their wives and children early. We didn't ask about their wives and children, after all, elf worms cannot contract for the third time."

Liszt nodded.

These knights had obviously been prepared long ago, and they didn't know how many benefits the Marquis of the Bull had promised them, so that they dared to take the risk of going against the Grand Duke Sapphire and defend Ironshoe Island to the death. Under normal circumstances, except for the loyal followers of the Marquis of the Bull, the other nobles should have surrendered early and welcomed Master Wang.

After all, the Grand Duke has dragons.

Perhaps it was just like the news that the mouse brought. For a great lord like Sneijder, their heirs are all by the side of the Bull Marquis, and their wealth has probably been transferred to Ironshoe City. They can only choose to be loyal and dare not betray the Bull Marquis. nothing.

It can only be entrusted to the glory after the "thing is done".

Liszt didn't know how these knights thought, and didn't want to know. He came here to make meritorious service, and a lord like Sneijder resisted to the death, which happened to be convenient for him to fight for glory.

He has already arranged for two earth knights to rush to Ox Hair City to report to Earl William Lee the news he has heard. The magician and Sneijder communicated secretly in private, mentioned a big event, and threatened that after the event, promises Ned is promoted to Marquis.

As for what this big event is, it is not clear.

Let the Count worry about it.

Following Captain Layden into the unnamed castle, a stench of excrement and urine came to his nostrils, making him want to vomit. There should be too many people living here, causing the castle to smell bad.

It's like a castle-style toilet.

"Get someone to clean up the third floor where I live!"

...

The third floor was continuously scoured with water to clean the aisles and rooms of filth.

Although there was still a faint stench that could not be dispelled, it was still barely able to live. Liszt sat behind a desk that belonged to an unknown nobleman.

Listen to Captain Raiden and others report on the spoils.

As a small city, Mane City didn't have too much loot, especially since the elves had been transferred away long ago. Finally, he thought for a moment and gave an order: "The gold coins are divided equally. Remember, let all the knights keep their mouths shut and hide their gold coins."

This is a private distribution of spoils, against the Grand Duke's order.

However, Earl William Lee said before that the situation of looting trophies should be "reduced", but this kind of thing is not strictly prohibited or cannot be prohibited. In a war without oil and water, why should the knights contribute their efforts. After all, the equipment and logistics are all prepared by the lords and knights, including their own lives.

No one would believe that after handing over the spoils to the grand duke, they would be able to share the share they deserved. The grand duke must be biased towards the blue blood alliance.

Captain Layden replied with a smile: "My lord, all the knights understand that if you get the benefits, you must keep your mouth shut."

Liszt nodded: "The lost weapons are replenished from Mane City, and the consumed food is replenished from here... By the way, call Marcus for me."

Marcus came quickly.

Liszt motioned for him to close the door first, and then said: "Mr. Marcus, I have a task for you to search for artisans in Mane City. Ordinary artisans are fine, but artisans of artisan level and above must be required, especially those that are not available in Flower Town." Artisans, paper makers, salt makers, etc."

Marcus asked: "My lord, can we take these craftsmen away?"

"You tell them that after the fall of Ironshoe Island, everyone will bear the wrath of the Grand Duke, because they are all evil traitors, and Flower Town can provide them with better shelter... As for taking them away, the sea is so wide, Always get them aboard."

It is very difficult to take a large amount of supplies from the island without going through the port.

But it is not too difficult to take away a few craftsmen including their families.

Marcus took the order: "As you wish!"
