Rise In Calradia

<div;quot;read2">　　 "His Royal Highness, how do you feel tonight?"

Konis helped the drunk and somewhat unconscious Prince Harauwu, asked helplessly and dissatisfied.

"It's so happy, von Byron, that fellow, other people~hiccups~ are really nice. He saved my city, and I won't be embarrassed by the old man. Wait~ until I become the only one in Calradia Wang, I will reward him the Kujit grassland~hiccup~ for him to go home easily. Haha~hahaha..."

Prince Harau was drunk to the point of gibberish at this time, which made Konis very helpless. At the wine ordering board just now, His Royal Highness praised von Byron, who had been scolded many times by him, and set up a banquet to entertain him and his knights. He spent more than a dozen barrels of good Viru. I added wine and an unknown amount of beer and ate and drank all night. The prince was too drunk afterwards. If Konnis hadn't helped him away and rested in time, I don't know how ugly he would be.

"You are still too young. You are a few years younger than Von Byron. You shouldn't be too tempted. You have to be careful in many cases." Konis bitterly persuaded Harauwu to say: "You know Feng. After Byron entered the city, although he suppressed the mob for you, he detained those prisoners? You know that his vacancies in the city defense force have been filled by his soldiers when you banquet with him. The most important thing is, are you? Do not see the people of Veluga avoiding you, but would like to open the doors and windows to observe his army? His influence on the city is much more than you think. If you don’t keep an eye on him, Veluga will Half of it will fall into his hands again, and you won’t be able to rush it this time, because we really need his support to gain a foothold here."

Konnis hadn't finished speaking, but the snoring of His Royal Highness began. Konnis had no choice but to take the prince back to the bedroom and let the servants serve him well, then sighed and left.

Prince Harau’s business tonight ends here, but Byron’s work tonight has just started.

After drinking a lot of alcohol, his face flushed, but relying on the anti-alcoholic drugs and fresh fruits that James prepared for him allowed him to still maintain his normal consciousness and rationality. After the prince retired, he was still chatting with the knights under the prince and the Swadia nobles who had only come here from the north some time ago, and accepted their praise. However, he would often take a temporary stand for various reasons and chat with Fatis and others who were waiting outside, and then immediately returned to continue drinking.

The knights and nobles who had just been freed from the flames of war were all drunk and did not find what was wrong with Byron. They didn't even notice that there were a few wealthy local businessmen and farmers who were staying not far from the banquet hall, waiting for something anxiously.

After a while, Fattis walked over and relayed Byron's words.

"Master Byron agreed to your proposal. He will intercede for you in front of the prince. He will also release your family members who have been bewitched by the mob. But you must know that His Royal Highness has a very high vision. He was born with those rare things. It’s not easy to please a few gold coins or a few bottles of wine. It’s not easy to extinguish his anger. For your safety, Lord Byron suggests that you prepare the best gift. Also, don’t forget who is risking it. The risk saved you." Fattis hurried away after speaking, and the rich also left solemnly, discussing something along the way.

Not only Fatis alone, except for the officers and knights under Byron's banquet, they all ran around the city to perform the tasks he ordered.

A few hours ago, the city was still in riots, and the residents of the city had persuaded all possible supporters, including those rich and powerful, in order to support their compatriots. In the hour before Byron arrived, thousands of people in the city had participated in the uprising. They captured the armory, looted many weapons and armors, and once occupied most of the city except for the city gate and the castle. , Forcing Prince Harauwu to want to abandon the city and escape. Fortunately, Byron arrived in time and repelled the Rhodoc forces outside the city, leaving the people in the city isolated and helpless and forced to surrender under the offensive of the army.

Of course, Prince Harau was unwilling to let them go. He was first ecstatic because of the rescue, and then angry because of what happened to him. He did not accept the surrender of the rude mob in his eyes, and planned to hang all the leaders among them and punish everyone else to go to the north to perform hard labor.

Under these conditions, the Rhodoks would rather die in battle than accept, and weird people know this well. So he persuaded the prince to dispose of these mob captives himself, and promised to give him a satisfactory result. As he had just saved the city, Prince Harau agreed to him, but also made it clear that Byron himself must get enough benefits.

So Byron's plan was officially launched. He told the people that except for a few Rhodok spies who got into the city and started the incident, they would be executed, everyone else would have a chance to be forgiven. They can choose to pay a high ransom to please Prince Harau, or they can choose to work for Byron, so that his share of the money will be borne by Byron. The most important thing is that Byron told them in a helpless tone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that he was willing to let them go, but the prince was not happy. In addition, Prince Harau U had previously expressed in front of the people that he would refuse their surrender and execute them. Everyone believed in Byron's words. After all, Von Byron has always had a good reputation in Veluga, and Prince Harau is secretly greeted his mother by a large group of people every day.

So a large amount of money and property came into Byron's hands at once, and the rich in the city were willing to pay full pockets of silver coins and a handful of gems for the safety of their families. Five large boxes filled with the best velvet, top spices, fine wines and various overseas treasures were placed in front of Byron. Byron gave three-quarters to the prince, and the rest was either as a reward to the soldiers or was taken by Byron.

In addition to direct economic benefits, Byron also won the support of more than half of Viruga's people and dignitaries, and the rest did not intend to remain loyal to the prince of Swadia. Many of those who did not want to pay the ransom became part of Byron's army, or provided services to Byron in their own way to pay off debts. Byron's army also completely took the lead. The prince's army lost more than half, and the city's defense force was severely in short supply. The peony mercenaries accepted the "hiring" and assumed part of the duties of the city defense army, and Byron's sergeants also began to patrol the city with a small team, controlling several main defensive points of the city.

Prince Harau would never expect that in the next few days he was so drunk and confused, von Byron had quickly taken half of Veluga City and held the other half in his hand. inside.
