Rise In Calradia

"a friend."

Matilde feels a little nervous, which is rare. Indeed, Byron's physical appearance is far from the traditional Nords, let alone northerners. Compared to her compatriots, Byron is more like a mixture of Kujites and other ethnic groups.

"Yes?"

The pirate leader frowned, and instead of listening to Matilde to continue to explain, he called the prisoner.

"They are not in the same team. We attacked them separately, but we didn't win. Their shield wall was very strong and their equestrian skills were very good."

After listening to the captives, the pirates all understood that Matilde was not the only leader of this force. The man in front of him and his troops also caused considerable casualties to their soldiers.

"Southerner, I have to kill you to avenge the war dead! For her face, I don't need to take out your skull."

The pirate leader's eyes were cold, and the many pirates behind him immediately pulled out their weapons and surrounded him. Seeing this scene, Egilsson made a "shield wall", and the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward to wrap Byron with shields. The pirate leader drew a fighting axe and strode forward to attack the shield wall, but Matilde stood up and stopped him at this time.

"You just promised not to be against us." As soon as she turned her head, the northern warrior behind her straightened up his shield and walked to the front.

"I haven't made a formal vow. Besides, he is a southern warrior and killed our brother. This is the best prey. I will use his blood to sacrifice to the gods!" The pirate leader tried to push his horse away. Tilde, it was not so much hatred in his eyes that the hunter found the desire for good prey. In his eyes, it is easy and profitable to hunt weak merchants and farmers like rabbits and elk, but if there is a chance to kill tigers and bears safely, it is naturally more attractive.

"Matilde, you don't have to fight us for these people. In the name of the Lord God, I assure you that as long as you don't get involved, we will never attack you and will give you enough compensation." At this time, that. The old man also spoke.

Matilde frowned and assessed the situation. She and Byron were not too familiar, and it was nothing to give up him. But the other party trusted her in such a short time, and his disaster was also due to his own ideas. It seemed a bit wrong to sit back and watch, which would really be a shame. For a while, she was a little undecided, so she could only use a shield against the opponent to prevent him from moving forward.

At this critical juncture, Byron considered the current situation, took a deep breath, and went out of the shield wall to face the pirate leader, regardless of Egilsson and Polza's prevention. Although he was still a little worried at this time, he was no longer what he had when he just crossed that year. Even in this case, he could still control his aura.

"I have a reason why you can't kill me." Monet tried his best to maintain a calm expression.

"Then you can say it before I run out of patience." The leader of the pirates was also a little curious when he heard Byron's words, and stopped the charge, and the pirates behind him also stopped.

Byron looked around, raised his chest, and said solemnly, hiding the side that had been hidden in front of his chest:

"Because I am the baron lord of Swadia and the leader of the Peony Mercenary Corps Feng Byron, the ransom I can pay is higher than that of Nordjaar, and I can bring you more when I live than when I die. !"

For a moment, everyone was stunned. They had never seen such a formal person who could say that they were captured for ransom. What's more interesting is that such dumbfounding logic really works at this time. As Byron said, his life is too valuable, and no one here will have trouble with the dinar.

Ekielson, Polza, and Matilde also looked at Byron in surprise. They didn’t expect this young man to be a Swadia mercenary who became famous for half of the continent in two years. Lord Von Byron. The three of them are thinking about each other, and they are considering their next actions from their respective positions. At this point, Byron himself took a big risk. His current subordinates are basically Nords, and Swadia and Nord are still at war. Exposing their identities is likely to cause them. Betrayal, or get their support, it all depends on his next performance.

Although the pirate leader said that he would kill Byron to avenge his subordinates, Byron knew that honor was important to these northern bandits, but it was not irreplaceable by money. As long as the price was right, there was almost no contradiction that could not be resolved. of.

"I’ve been in Calradia for a short time. I’ve heard your name. They all say you are rich and the people who follow you are rich. If you are really Von Byron, now you lay down your weapons. , I can leave you at a suitable price." The leader of the pirate gave in very naturally. If Byron's words were true, he certainly wouldn't mind making a fortune. As for the victims, they were voluntary anyway. Not many of them were his direct troops. Many of them belonged to other pirate troops, which didn't mean much to him.

"I am willing to pay the ransom for my life, but you have to prove that you have the ability to take my life." Byron still looks very calm at this time, but sweat is already oozing out of his palm, and he doesn't know himself. Whether the plan I just thought of can be successful, but at this time I can only take a gamble.

"What do you mean, do you want to tease me?" These words aroused the dissatisfaction of the leader of the pirates. He looked very angry, and pointed the axe at Byron's cheek, but did not kill him.

"It can be seen that you are a true northern warrior. I have fought against Nord's forces on the battlefield many times. You are no worse than any warrior I have ever seen. And you just recognized my strength, which makes me I feel honored too."

The pirate leader's expression eased a lot, Byron's disguised flattery really worked, he seemed to be waiting for Byron's next words.

"Jegvilk??mpemoddig.! (I want to fight you!

As soon as he said this, the audience was shocked, and everyone's eyes gathered on this young lord with firm eyes.

"If I lose, you can't kill my life. I admit that I am your prisoner and pay you a ransom of 100,000 dinars! If you lose, I will not kill your life. You have to accept me." The hire sent me back to my fief and fought for me for a year." Byron said solemnly, pressing a mace on his waist.

The crowd plunged into chaos. Some people were surprised by Byron's courage, some laughed at the southerner's innocence and ignorance, and some quietly discussed whether the leader would accept his challenge. The amount of ransom promised by Byron is huge. On top of all the proceeds of their ten journeys south, even a king would not be indifferent. What's more important is that Byron's words have already promoted their leader to the height of a brave. If he refuses, he will be ridiculed in the future~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The northerners can cause a long family relationship because of a humiliation. Years of confrontation and constant war, not to mention the challenge initiated in the name of a soldier.

"Interesting, Byron, can you prove your identity and wealth?" After hearing Byron's challenge, the pirate leader not only showed no anger but smiled, and asked Byron to prove his identity. He didn't want to be alone. The liar fooled him and found the prisoner running away one night after letting him make a living. This situation is rare, but it's not uncommon.

"Of course." Byron pulled off the burqa and cotton armor on his body, revealing the set of custom plate armor that was enough to ruin a little nobleman, and then asked: "If you accept the terms, you dare to treat your gods Swear?"

"No problem!" The pirate leader laughed and said, "You can wear that set of steel gadgets to avoid losing your life. In front of you is Virgil the Blood Drinker, the son of Virgil! I promised in the name of the Lord God. If your previous conditions are violated, I will never enter Valhalla forever!" Virgil was very confident, as if Byron was just an unknown person who knew nothing about life and death, and directly agreed to his conditions.

Most of the other pirates thought that the leader's decision was too hasty, but they still stepped back one after another, leaving room for the two to fight.
