Rise In Calradia

Chapter 254: : Preparing to return south

"Fatis and Jamila have gone south?"

In the office of the Peony Mercenary Corps, Byron and Manid were sitting at the table chatting about the current situation.

"Yes, they set off ten days ago. The king has been urging Eleon to accept your fief. They were worried that something might happen, so they took the mercenaries south to Pegunde."

"You have always believed that I am still alive, and you are still thinking about me at this time. As a friend, I thank you, and as a lord I will repay your loyalty." Hearing Manid's words, Byron was a little touched, Elaine Although his performance was expected, he was still a little disappointed, but Fatismanid and the others made him truly feel a touch of warmth. He has no family in this world, and loyal subordinates and sincere friends are for him. It is the greatest comfort.

"It's an honor for us, sir. You don't know how worried everyone was when you were away. Everything was in a mess. In this bleakness, only your light can save us."

Manid was also very touched. Byron's words came to his heart. This young man grew up faster than anyone could imagine, and he was so generous and trusting to the people around him. So that when Byron was away, they really felt what it was like to lose their backbone. The Peony Mercenary Corps almost disintegrated, and the business trade that was originally smooth was almost unable to proceed because of the lack of shelter. Even the territory they had defeated with their best efforts would be lost. Everyone lost their fighting spirit, and only Byron survived rumors. Support their fighting spirit.

"I already know what happened during this period. This is a disaster for us." Byron said in a deep voice:

"So all this chaos must be stopped before it can be undone!" Byron stood up, pressing his sword on the hilt with a serious expression.

"Manid, immediately summon all the remaining troops of the Peony Mercenary Corps. I will open the treasure chest, command the army, return to Rodok, crush all the conspiracies against me, and regain everything that belongs to me!"

At this moment, Byron is no longer the weak mercenary in the past, and there is no longer a look of confusion and fear on his face. After so many battles, various conspiracies, and the fear of death, he has become a qualified army commander and lord.

"I'm going to prepare now!"

Manid smiled with joy and almost left the room at a trot speed to perform the task that Byron had given him.

In just two days, Manid mobilized the remaining troops of the Peony Mercenary Corps in Dehrim, and even the newly recruited soldiers assembled. Together with the troops brought back by Byron from the north, a total of 650 combatable soldiers have been assembled. Byron opened the treasure chest hidden in Dehrim, which contained a part of the spoils he had obtained during the Rhodok War. They were all replaced by large silver and gold coins, amounting to about 100,000 dinars, which was just what he had obtained. Own part of wealth. In several other treasure places, there are several other treasures that he has prepared for expansion or comeback. Only he and a few people know the location of the treasures.

He took 80,000 dinars from the box, began to recruit a large number of manpower, purchase supplies, and returned the soldiers in the army to upgrade and pay bonuses. When the troops were ready to set off, the number was expanded again to 700. The troops included a large number of pirates, as well as the Vijaya troops, which had generally been upgraded to level three, most of which were guerrilla shooters. The remaining troops are all mixed mercenaries, including mercenary sentries to mercenary cavalry, with a complete range, including the female mercenary battalion organized by Jamila. Even Byron did not expect that this army, originally organized out of Jamila’s personal interest and compassion, has more than 50 people, all of which are above the three-level women in the camp, and there is even one in plate armor. The female warrior leader. She was once the wife of a knight. The war broke her family and suffered atrocities herself. After that, she picked up her husband's weapon and started fighting. She was also recruited by Jamila.

The size and strength of the infantry of this force has surpassed that of the troops before he went northward, but the number of cavalry was slightly smaller. Manid prepared enough supplies for this force to consume two months, if not enough, he would deliberately replenish them on the way.

In addition, Byron had a backup force, Kenrad and other soldiers who had surrendered. After the battle was over, Fatis and Manid contacted the ransom agent. Because the two sides of the war had lost their intent to fight, Nord was also willing to release people before the end of the war, as long as the price was right. After some bargaining, Manid used 7000 dinars and helped 100 Nord captives to return to the country to redeem Kenrad and the group of troops (the captives were helped by Count Kleis), and they quickly You can return to Deherim, but the weapons and armors have become the trophies of the Nords.

Before Byron returned, the Golden Hand family seized the opportunity to start a business war with Manid again. At this time, the Peony mercenaries were hit hard, Manid’s trading team also lost their money, and they were raising money to redeem the captives. , The Peony Mercenary Group’s industry was annexed by the Golden Hand Family in half, and its control and influence in the city have also declined drastically. Earl Kleis also turned a blind eye to the actions of the Golden Hand Family. The regiment is on the verge of bankruptcy.

And when Byron returned, the family, who was good at seeing the wind, immediately changed their attitude and sent important members of the family to show their favor to Byron. They returned part of the title to the house and also sent a box of silver coins, hoping that Byron would forgive him. What they did, UU reading www. uukanshu.com continues to maintain the alliance relationship between the two parties. If this were put in some plots, Byron would definitely wipe out the Golden Hand family, by the way, pretend to be a B.

But Byron would not do that. It would offend too many wealthy noble merchants of Dherim, and it would not benefit much. The earl would not look at their dominance and threaten his control of the city. So Byron accepted the other party's proposal, and after receiving the title deed and dinar, he took the initiative to abandon the rest of the embezzled assets. But he made a request. The Golden Hand family must send the direct descendants of the family to the south to serve as the attendants of the Byron knights, and bind the two sides tightly, otherwise the Golden Hand family will have to take over a lord after Byron regains the territory. And the revenge of his army.

Unsurprisingly, the Golden Hand family also agreed to this proposal, and they did not have a choice. They really did not want to bear Byron’s anger, and the Golden Hand family had been in business for generations, and they had been a noble with Dehrim for dozens of years. Marriage to ensure your own status. As a fast-rising military lord, Byron has great potential, and it can also help their family obtain a more cost-effective trade with Rhodok, and the trade caravan of the Golden Hand family can also allow the peony mercenaries to gain more in the trade. Great, after the two parties are united, they can rely on the influence in the city to obtain the support of the Earl of Kleis and the nobles of Dehrim (Previously, the Earl of Kleis agreed to help Manid redeem the troops with the Nord captive in his hand. This is the reason). Although it is a relationship of mutual use, most of the time the alliance is like this.
