Gunnar stared down at the treasure, wondering if it was worth it. The deaths, the men beside him who fell, what would they say to see all of this? This mound of jewels and gold was not the goal. The goal was to oust the dictator of a king that held the villagers for ransom. The king preferred to call it taxes owed for maintaining a protective sphere around the villages. The people in those villages were starving, forced to become soldiers for the king in their child to teen years, and the women left to scrape by. Gunnar decided to let the villagers have the spoils and he divided it all between the villagers and his fallen men.
