Rise In Calradia

The Journey of the Mercenaries Rising from Calradia Chapter 224: Leaving the King’s Negotiations aside "We almost lost this battle."

After the battle, Fatis didn't mean to be happy at all, and commented somewhat pessimistically.

This time, no one opposed him, even Eleon nodded slightly without saying a word.

Byron saw that the morale of his troops had dropped a lot, and there was a noticeable drop in numbers. Hundreds of soldiers threw their corpses into the wilderness, but because the enemy was not far away, neither side dared to collect the corpses.

As a last resort, he sent someone to Suno’s commander and talked to him about the current situation. He also said that the army at Fort Kulmar was completely unexpected, and it is difficult to win the attack if it continues. It is better to give up the attack. Agron Fort, instead attacked the barns in the surrounding area of ​​the castle, plundering the surrounding villages. He assured the other party that the food stored in Fort Agron was not enough for a large number of troops to consume. In addition, since Veruga was occupied by Byron, supplies from the south could not be delivered, the garrison of the castle simply could not survive this winter.

"What you said is very reasonable, Lord Byron. There is no chance of victory in a storm, and it will only humiliate the reputation of Earl Craggs. Although plundering is an atrocity, it will allow us to win, and it will also make the opponent regress. Back to our captured soldiers and knights."

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, Byron withdrew 5 calories, and then sent an envoy to negotiate with each other.

The messenger returned soon, although he was almost killed, but Earl Matthias saved his life somehow, and reached an agreement on clearing the battlefield and recovering the remains. The two sides sent a team to carry back the dead bodies of their respective troops without weapons.

This was not a good job. After a few hours, the battlefield was full of blood, and the crows also gathered, and Byron didn't even want to look at it. So he acquiesced to the phenomenon that the soldiers who were sent to recover the remains were stealing things from the dead, anyway they didn't need it, and their families couldn't hold them accountable.

After this battle, the troops on both sides suffered heavy losses, especially the wounded, which caused Byron a headache. During the battle, these wounded people could at least use their courage to fight, and once the battle was over, they couldn't do it. This is another reason that Byron is eager to end this war, that is, he doesn't want to see the veterans who have finally been tempered die because of infection in large numbers, so that he has no soldiers available.

The knights on Suno's side were unwilling to continue the war. This war was not good for them, and they were happy to end the war and return home. With their support, Byron does not have to face King Harous's dissatisfaction alone.

He wrote a very long letter, in which he described the battle situation in detail, but it was more oily and jealous than the real situation. He hoped that the king would forgive him for not being able to continue to attack Agron Fort and allow him to end the battle and return to his fief. Of course, he hadn't forgotten to ask Suno to write a similar letter to Earl Craggs, exaggerating the opponent's number and difficulty of the war, indicating that it would be very unfavorable to start a war at this time.

In private, Byron also asked Fatis as his representative to negotiate with the commander of the Count Matt Asth and the army of Fort Kurmar. By the way, before the negotiation, he asked his mercenaries to fight the autumn wind nearby and bring them close to the castle. The material reserve department that the area can take away. Then they returned to the nearest village under their control, repaired there, and set up temporary camps to house the wounded, where James was very busy.

Regrettably, Yatiman’s gravity dumper did not come in handy, but Byron still placed a larger order and asked Yatiman to build more gravity dumpers.

Interestingly, this negotiation is very interesting, because it is a negotiation between the lords of the two countries, and the specific content has not been instructed by the kings on both sides.

On the Rhodok side, it was because the king's authority was not enough, and the lord's autonomy was too great, and King Griffith had always turned a blind eye to them. On Swadia's side, it was because of internal divisions and the opposition between the lords of the East and the West that put the kingdom on the brink of civil war. Even a baron with sufficient strength like Byron dared to disobey the king's orders.

Therefore, after setting aside the king and the kingdom, the content of the negotiations between the two parties is very simple.

Both sides held captives from the other side. Among them, Rodok captured 6 knights and 21 noble children from Uxhal and Suno, as well as more than 100 soldiers from the three parties. Byron’s side captured more than 500 people, including 7 sergeants. But even so, Earl Matt Ass still asked Byron and them to return all the prisoners, and even asked for a compensation. As for the reason, it is naturally that the worth of those noble lords is too high and requires a large ransom to be released. In fact, if Byron doesn't pay the money, their family will do it sooner or later, but he might as well simply sell his favors here, and by the way reject the 10,000 dinars promised to Uxhal's troops.

But to be honest, he didn’t want to return these prisoners, because his main purpose was to weaken the opponent’s combat effectiveness. Returning these 500 people to the opponent increased the opponent’s combat effectiveness in a disguised form. He would rather pay more than pay. These soldiers who have been on the battlefield and have certain combat experience handed over to the opponent.

Count Matthias also understood this, of course, it was just an old trick of asking for money on the floor and making concessions very quickly. Rhodok released the prisoners of the Ministry, and the same was true for Byron. However, Matt Aspor finally took a step back and promised to exchange the weapons and armor of the prisoners.

This is what Byron got in exchange for his own advantage in the battle.

In addition, the two parties also reached a new deal during the negotiation, concerning the town of Serendil, which once belonged to Byron.

The position there is now very embarrassing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The occupying party can easily be cut off by the other side, and the grain reserves in Serendil have long been empty. Most of this year’s harvest has also been expropriated, so occupying there will It suffers a lot, the troops are likely to go hungry, and it is difficult to keep there.

Coupled with Byron's looting of the surrounding area of ​​Agron Fort, Earl Mattas had to abandon a part of the area and concentrate the materials in the castle.

So he sold Serendil and the land far from the castle to Byron, and Byron would settle the local mess. And Byron must stop his current behavior, use the captive ransom as an excuse for not paying 5,000 dinars, Earl Matt Ass, and ensure that he will not harass the castle and surrounding areas within 3 months.

It was not a good deal at all, but Byron agreed. Because I saw another road, Swadia was in chaos now, and Rodok was uncomfortable on his side, and falling to the other side was not the best way.

Maybe in the future he can use the power of the Rodok nobles to do something...
