Chapter 62 Compromise under the Game
Dardir City, the coalition headquarters.

For the distribution of benefits after the war, the two earls are now fighting with each other red-faced, and they have not seen the gentleness of the past.

People are in the circle of interests and cannot help themselves.

As the leader of the nobles in the southeastern province, Earl Pierce not only wants to fight for the interests of the Dalton family, but also fights for the interests of the nobles in the province, at least on the surface.

The land of Leighton and White Counties has long been regarded as the possession of local snakes, so they are naturally unwilling to have foreign forces share the cake.

It's easy to ask God to send God away, the situation in the southeast province is already complicated enough, it's okay if small and medium nobles come in, but now all the big forces in the kingdom want to intervene.

Once these guys are allowed to set nails in the land of the two counties, the dominance of the Dalton family is bound to be impacted.

If we don't take advantage of the current profit distribution and unite with the younger brothers to block these powerful dragons outside, it will be difficult to expel them later.

Although the Dalton family is powerful, looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, there are still more than a dozen big forces that can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Perhaps among the big powers, the Dalton family's fief area is not the largest, but the degree of wealth of the territory is one of the best. It is not a day or two that everyone is greedy for the fertile soil of the southeastern province.

From the standpoint of the king, it is most beneficial to allow these major forces to check and balance each other and maintain the balance of domestic political power.

The original political structure of the southeastern province was broken. If there was no external force to intervene, most of the territory of Leighton and White counties would fall into the hands of the Dalton family sooner or later.

Even now that Earl Pierce has generously expressed his willingness to distribute most of the spoils to small and medium nobles, the annexation of territories has never been a one-time thing.

If you extend the time, you will find that many small and medium nobles will lose their fiefdoms in the next few decades due to various reasons.

Only after overcoming the initial period of weakness and accumulating the background of several generations can we really gain a firm foothold.

In contrast, the great nobles are different.The meat eaten can be digested directly.It seems that every time you eat is not too much, but after a long period of time, it is a big number.

Even if you pay attention to eating and don't deliberately seek territorial annexation, under the effect of the strong being strong, the territory controlled by the big nobles will continue to grow.

Seeing that the major forces in the country wanted to go to the southeast province to get a share of the pie, out of the need for checks and balances, they naturally chose to go along with the flow.

As the specific executor, Earl Frodo at this moment represents not only the king, but also the major forces in the kingdom who want to get involved.

Rubbing his forehead, Earl Pierce said righteously: "The honor of nobles cannot be desecrated. Fairness is the foundation of a kingdom. We must give priority to protecting the interests of those who have quelled this rebellion!"

They were all forced out, and Earl Pierce would rather leave it to his younger brother than to distribute the territory to these powerful dragons across the river.

Although the nobles in the southeastern province are not very peaceful, they are still much cuter than these greedy predators.

The lesser of two evils.

No matter how ambitious the little brothers are, they can't stand up to their own strength. The territory is only temporarily stored in their hands, and sooner or later they will return to the Dalton family.

These river-crossing dragons are different. They are all top predators, and they seldom spit them out after eating them.Once it is put in, there will be a bunch of competitors grabbing food.

"Of course the interests of heroes must be protected, but we also have to consider the goodwill released by all parties.

Your Excellency, the Alpha Kingdom is a whole.We cannot limit our vision to the southeast province, we must consider the problem from a global perspective. "

Count Frodo hinted directly.

It's a pity that Earl Pierce has no interest in this kind of olive branch, and even rejects it.

Originally, the major forces in the Alpha Kingdom were all playing their own games, and there were very few behaviors that crossed the border.But with the succession of Caesar III, the situation changed.

The king deliberately allowed the major forces to reach out. At the beginning, everyone was able to resist the temptation and abide by the rules of the game. They just played on their own one-acre three-point land. Soon, some people couldn't control their greed and took the first step.

Some people took the lead in eating meat, and the latecomers soon emerged in endlessly.It's just that the expected big mergers and big developments didn't happen. Instead, because of reaching out to each other, interests were intertwined and dragged each other down.

Relying on the political means of borrowing strength, the several big nobles who showed signs of being too big were all beaten up one by one by Caesar III, and their arrogance no longer existed.

A new political balance system was established, and the declining royal power was miraculously reborn in the hands of Caesar III.

If it weren't for the great loss of royal power and the loss of a large amount of territory in the last continental war, Caesar III would have a high probability of becoming a hero of the generation.

When meeting such a boss, Earl Pierce knew he couldn't play well, so he always behaved peacefully.No matter how big the bait was, he remained restrained.

It is a pity that he restrained, but his colleagues did not.After all, as a wealthy and wealthy landlord in the southeast province, he couldn't go out and snatch some worthless land.

But other big nobles can't do it, especially those guys in the north, whose land is barren, and they are harassed by orcs every now and then, which greatly affects their production.

In order to resist the invasion of the orcs, all of them resorted to militarism, and the financial deficit was severe, all supported by the kingdom's subsidies.

In recent years, although there have been no major wars in the northern border, there has never been a small battle.If you want to accumulate military merits, it is a good choice.

It's just that the military exploits in northern Xinjiang are easy to obtain, but the fiefdom is not easy to defend!Fortunately, after working hard for a year, the orcs came when the harvest season came.

All the major nobles have their sons gilded in northern Xinjiang, and many of them are enshrined with military exploits, but everyone in the fiefdoms of northern Xinjiang pushes it as soon as they can, and waits for other places to get out of the hole.

Knowing that he couldn't evade it, Earl Pierce said cruelly: "The southeastern province is part of the kingdom, and it is indeed necessary to consider the overall situation, but the demands of the local nobles cannot be ignored.

Considering that the kingdom lacks too many heroes and fiefs, we can give up some territories, but out of the need to appease everyone's emotions, this entrustment should be limited to the baronies.

As the governor of the southeast province, I am willing to lead by example, carry forward the noble spirit of humility, and give up the reward for this battle. "

Hearing "lead by example", Frodo cursed shamelessly.Those who didn't know thought that he had made great military exploits. In fact, as the governor of the southeastern province, it was his duty to put down the rebellion under his rule.

If the responsibility for the fall of the two counties was not pursued, it would be a shame.It was originally a crime and meritorious deed, and it was ridiculous to talk about giving up military merits at this time.

It seems that Earl Pierce gave up the reward, but in fact the Dalton family has gained a lot.The children who were gilded outside did not announce that they would give up the opportunity to obtain the fief this time.

As local snakes, the Dalton family had no losses, but the powerful dragons who wanted to intervene in the southeastern province were forced into an embarrassing situation.

For the small and medium nobles, the barony is indeed quite a temptation, but for the big nobles, it is purely tasteless.

Nails can be inserted, but the potential is limited if they cannot stand.No matter how good the development is, the upper limit is still there.

Unless the family increases their investment and merges regardless of food, it will lose their reputation if they are not careful, and cause everyone's resistance.

At first he wanted to refute, but seeing Earl Pierce's unquestionable expression, knowing that this was the bottom line of the Dalton family, Earl Frodo, who didn't want to offend anyone to death, nodded.

"Your Excellency Governor's suggestion, I will truthfully report it to the capital, and the final result will wait for His Majesty's ruling!"
