"This …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Carey instinctively frowned, "All of them?"
"That's right, all of them."
Chen Heng calmly nodded and did not hide his thoughts, "Carey, I know what you're thinking.
The families' military power is their last line of defense.
However, given the current situation, I cannot allow anything unexpected to happen. "
He sat on his horse and looked at Carey as he said calmly, "Otherwise, what happened today might happen again."
Hearing this, Carey came to a realization.
Facts had proven that it was extremely dangerous for the families to maintain a certain level of power in the current situation.
Today, Carey had betrayed Mader and helped Chen Heng open the Kutu Royal City's gates. In the future, others might do the same.
After all, even though Chen Heng had many friends in the Kutu Royal City, the southern rebel army also had many people who sympathized with him.
If he did not control this, what had happened today might happen again in the future.
"I can promise you this."
Chen Heng looked at Carey and said seriously, "After this is over and the southern rebel army is taken care of, the Kerma territory will be yours.
"The other clans have also been conferred titles."
"Are you telling the truth?"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Carey's expression changed and he felt greatly moved.
The Kerma territory was a very famous place in the Kutu Principality. It was a wealthy place with a large population, and it was one of the core territories of the royal family.
Chen Heng being willing to give away this territory was incredibly generous.
To Carey and the families behind him, if they could obtain this territory, they would have to pay a great price.
However, there was also a big problem.
"The Kerma territory seems to be the royal family's territory …"
Looking at Chen Heng, Carey looked a bit hesitant.
If it was the southern rebel army's territory, it would be fine. After all, if they won, Chen Heng would be able to do whatever he wanted with their territory.
The victor would be able to control everything; this was a rule from ancient times.
However, the Kerma territory belonged to the royal family.
If he wanted to give this territory to someone else, there would be a big problem.
"I'm sure it's reasonable for us to send people to help the royal family quell the rebellion and receive some rewards."
Looking at Carey's expression, Chen Heng smiled and said calmly, "Don't you think so?"
"I understand."
Carey immediately understood what Chen Heng meant.
After this battle, no matter what the outcome was, the Kutu Royal family would most likely be controlled by someone else.
At that time, the distribution of the Royal Family's territory would be decided by the victor.
Most likely, Chen Heng wanted to tie him to the carriage.
Although Kuma was the territory of the royal family, once it became his territory, it would not be easy for him to give it up.
This created a conflict with the royal family, causing him to completely break off relations with the royal family. He had to stand on Chen Heng's side.
This was an open and aboveboard scheme.
Kairi wasn't against it either.
If they could obtain great rewards, so what if they betrayed the royal family and stood on Chen Heng's side?
He believed that it was not just him. If it were anyone else, they would have made the same choice.
Looking at Carey's reaction, Chen Heng smiled and said, "It's not just you; those who are willing to help will all be rewarded."
He listed a few people and a few territories in a row, and casually told them where they belonged.
However, just like Carey, all of these territories belonged to the royal family.
He did not feel any heartache about selling other people's things.
Chen Heng was like this.
Most of the royal family's territories were the most prosperous and prosperous in the Kutu Principality, and they were lands that countless nobles yearned for.
However, Chen Heng generously gave out these lands to others; this was something that the royal family could not do.
After all, if he really did this, the royal family's territory would quickly shrink, and when that time came, they would not be able to maintain the royal family's dignity.
However, this was the effect that Chen Heng wanted.
It could be imagined that after this battle, even if Olivia recovered, she would not be able to find many people who would listen to her.
Her territory would be divided and devoured by Chen Heng.
And these people would not obediently give up the territory that they had obtained.
When that time came, whether she was willing or not, she would be a mere figurehead and become a commander without an army.
Of course, giving the royal family's territory to many nobles would lead to some problems, such as creating many nobles, which would reduce the territory that Chen Heng could obtain.
After all, in theory, as long as he could win this battle, it would not be a problem for him to devour all of the royal family's territory.
His generosity now would definitely bring some problems in the future.
However, Chen Heng was quite open-minded about this.
He had not even started, but he was already worrying about the future. This was not his style.
To him, the most important thing right now was to win this battle.
As long as he could win this battle, no matter what problems there were, they could be left for later.
If he could not win this battle, no matter how many worries there were, they would have nothing to do with him.
As such, in order to achieve his goal, Chen Heng had to increase the strength of his subordinates and unite those who could stand on his side to face the upcoming test.
As such, Chen Heng continued to get busy.
With the help of Carey and the others, Chen Heng's process of entering the Kutu Royal City went quite smoothly.
With the pressure from the army, as well as Carey and the others' persuasion, Chen Heng did not have to spend much effort to get Mader's 3,000 subordinates to join him.
Following this, Chen Heng went to meet with the large families in the city and gave them promises of territory and wealth.
And the price was the army under their control.
If it was the Mader from before, these people might have been able to get away with it. However, facing the current Chen Heng, they did not have the right to bargain.
After a series of threats and promises, they obediently took out their forces.
The forces that these people had made Chen Heng feel quite shocked.
Including Carey's family, the dozen or so families had brought out close to four thousand warriors. Adding on the three thousand they had taken from Mader, they now had a total of seven thousand.
This was even more than Chen Heng's own forces.
Evidently, this was not all of them.
Even facing Chen Heng's pressure, those families could not bring out their full strength, and they would always try to hide it.
At this moment, he had only brought out more than half of his strength, and that was the amount.
