Rise In Calradia

"Master Byron, what is your Royal Highness's request?"

Seeing Byron's serious expression when he read the letter, Fatis immediately stepped forward to inquire.

"The war is about to begin again, Fattis. The troops of Fort Etsko, Aaron, and Marasburg are gathering in Fort Kulmah. The number has exceeded five thousand and is still increasing. Your Highness The scouts were desperate to detect detailed information. Lord Konis suspected that the Rhodoks planned to launch an offensive in the autumn, or they would plunder the food in the Veluga area, or they would besiege Veluga again. No matter what, he would do it. Need our troops."

"Then please give your order, sir, as long as you say a word, Elaine and I will listen to your dispatch. If you need, we can notify Desaivi, Bandak, Rolf, and The trained recruits in Resalit, Serendil and the militias of the surrounding villages and towns, it is really impossible for Kenrad to bring the mercenaries over. By then, we will be able to gather between 1,800 and 2,000 fully armed soldiers, enough to defend. Veluga." Fatis knew the situation of the troops quite well, and before Byron asked, he had already counted the number of troops available to them.

"Indeed, but I think something is wrong." Byron's brows were not soothing at all. He held the letter in one hand and his chin in the other, obviously thinking about something.

"Wrong? Ah, yes, the Rhodoks have assembled so many troops. Obviously Aaron's militia joined them in large numbers. The pope should stop the lord of the city where he lives. Speaking of which, the leaders of the church should have stopped this. On the battlefield, he allowed the flames to burn. It is really disappointing. The bishops should give more consideration to him when choosing him." Fattis nodded and expressed some views on the current political situation, although this is similar to Byron. The thoughts in my mind are totally out of touch.

"No, Fatis, I'm not thinking about religion. As far as I know, Aaron's high-ranking priests have never played a role in promoting peace in the past few decades, but this is not what I am thinking about. Maybe this time we The investigative work in the mountainous area to the west is not very good, and we don’t know such critical things, but in the east, our intelligence personnel also sent some very interesting news..."

"East? You mean the assassins of Kress and Assassin? You really trust them." In Fatis's tone, there was a clear distrust of those Salanders.

"Yes, maybe no one likes them, but their skills are really good. Moreover, according to their sect's traditions, they are slaves to their employers during the employment period. They will be chased by the sect before they expire and betrayed by the sect. Will fall into the abyss. Kress has been following them and learned a lot. I sent them to the east to spy on the news, dressed as merchants and travelers, and bought some interesting information from the intelligence dealers, and then hired from Salander if conditions permit. Some light cavalry. But they changed their itinerary midway and found some military movements on the eastern border of Rhodok."

Byron opened a letter full of Saland text (written by the Assassin of Assassin, Kreis still only knows no more than fifty words), and whispered a few words in Saland. Then he raised his head slightly and told Fatis the content of the letter.

[Honorable host, I am sorry that we did not go to Salander as you requested, but what we found will definitely interest you. In the fortress called Amira Fort on the border of the mountain people (commonly known by the Salanders to the Rhodoks), many mountain soldiers appeared. We have been here many times. I am sure the soldiers here. More than ever. We stayed here for two days and found that they came from another castle-Fort Amici. We counted their number. Except for the 300 people who guarded this castle, 3,500 people were in the one they thought was very secretive. Stationed in the mountain barracks. These people have more than 800 horses suitable for riding and fighting, which is twice the number of horses that a normal mountain army should have. Either they have to go far away or they have to go to their destination quickly. We also found that there was a lot of food in this camp. The mountain people stored a lot of dry food, enough for the army to eat in winter.

Honorable masters, swear to the true gods, I'm sure they are definitely not going to the east. Their horse heads are facing west, their crossbow arrows are aimed at the west, and the scouts are heading west. They must go to the mountains to the west, which is where you are. We don’t look like mountain people and can’t get in. Know where they are going, but hope you will be prepared. 】

"...I understand what you mean now. This does... need to think. The purpose of the Rhodoks does not seem so simple." Fatis was silent for a while and understood Byron's meaning. "Do you think they want to attack Veluga on both sides?" Fatis guessed.

"It's possible, but you also know how lucky we were when we attacked Veluga. The trail was already under our surveillance, and the large-scale march was extremely inconvenient. And even if they did arrive at Veluga. Under the city, how much can the battle situation change? We and His Royal Highness have already had a lot of troops, and reinforcements will be sent from the north. The walls of Veluga have been repaired again. It is too slow even if 10,000 people are gathered, it is difficult to win before the support arrives. In this city, it's not worthwhile to run so hard to support it, to be honest."

"Hmm... You mentioned the north? Our support in the north?"

"Yeah~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As long as Veluga is surrounded, the reinforcements of Gruenward Fort will be dispatched, they will quickly go south and...wait! Fattis, should you mean? will be...."

"Yes, my lord, it seems that their purpose is there."

"That's right! That's right! Then everything makes sense, Fattis! That's why I have to talk to you alone. Although others are credible, they are not as reliable as you." Byron turned excitedly. Take out the map and make gestures with the silver spoon placed aside. Soon, he became convinced of his ideas, and even drew the route of the Rhodoks with a quill pen.

"We should report to the prince immediately. Now that we know their purpose, it is easy to defeat them. We can even stop this war without blood, my lord." Fattis solemnly suggested.

"No, Fatis, maybe we can... report to the prince, but I have a new idea." Byron's eyes rolled twice, just like those cunning merchants he had ever seen. "I started as a mercenary, and I know when to choose which method is best for me. This is an opportunity, Fatis, this is a perfect opportunity! Yes, to gather troops, we must be ready to act immediately, What I've been thinking about can finally be realized!"

After Byron finished speaking, regardless of Fatis' reaction, he lowered his head and studied the map again.
