Rise In Calradia

Chapter 296: : Defending the city after siege

In the middle of the night, Byron suddenly woke up from his dream. He had a nightmare. He dreamed that a Rhodok stabbed himself from underneath while he was going to the bathroom, which scared him up directly, soaking his back with sweat. NS. When he heard his scream, the soldiers outside the door immediately rushed in, only to find that their lord was only sweating, and there was no danger.

"Start a thorough investigation of the entire castle tomorrow morning, and don't let any corners go." Byron finished his order and lay down again.

The soldiers shrugged, glanced at each other, and left. They felt that Lord Byron had made a fuss and that a nightmare could not make such a fuss. They didn't know that when Byron was frightened awake, he suddenly realized a very crucial problem.

You know, when Byron took down a stronghold in the past, when ending a battle, the system would "closely" add a yellow arrow in Byron's field of vision, guiding him to find the dinar hidden by the opponent. Although it will only show the one with the highest value, the effect is quite practical. Byron has always benefited from this before, so he can quickly accumulate wealth and clean up the money hidden by the other party. But this time, the arrow never appeared.

Byron knew that there were only two possibilities. The other party had no money at all, but that was impossible. Otherwise, what did he find out yesterday? Then there is only one possibility, that is, the system's deceptive judgment. As long as an enemy is still resisting at a negative rate, the system will determine that the battle is not over, and the yellow arrow that will only appear after the battle is over will naturally not appear. So Byron was awakened in the middle of the night before he ordered a search of the entire castle, because there were still several Rhodoks who were still fighting.

So the next morning several hundred peony group mercenaries and Rodok levies began to search the entire fortress. As expected, in the vertical passage of the castle's sewage, there was a Rodok veteran who endured the stench, filth and narrowness. Hidden in the space, he stepped on a depression, appeared every once in a while, relying on his own good behind to kill the single enemy, he even really considered going to assassinate Byron. However, his luck was not so good. He was picked out after only killing one person, and then hanged in front of the whole fortress. This kind of stubborn person, although worthy of admiration, is Byron as an intruder. I don't want him to live.

Unfortunately, after Byron searched carefully, the system did not give any hints. It seems that all the hidden belongings were found by Byron.

After sleeping in the earl’s bedroom for a night, Byron finally had a chance to take a good look at the castle. He walked in the castle like the owner of the castle, carefully figured out the structure of the castle, and remembered those things in his mind. May need to be improved.

Of course, before he could live in the castle with peace of mind and send a messenger to ask the king for credit, Byron knew very well that even if they blocked the news as much as possible, people in this area would find that after the fortress was besieged at most three days. When this news spreads, Tazias will know that his fortress is surrounded by Byron in less than a week. He knows that his fortress's defensive force is difficult to defend against Byron's army. In order to keep his basic set, the earl will definitely return to defense. Gruen Wardburg is indeed attractive, but the earl brothers who occupy the eastern land will not abandon the foundation of their rule.

Byron summoned the army and took out a part of the gold and silver that was found in the castle for distribution. Although the number of trophies was much less than Byron expected, he still behaved very generously. Each mercenary received a reward equivalent to one month’s salary. Rhodok’s conscripts would only be paid a small amount during the war, so each received 10 dinars. In addition, Byron, the first soldier to climb to the top of the city, gave him an extra 100 dinars, and each soldier who died in battle was given a 30 dinars pension, and their bodies would be buried on the spot. , Their relics will be given to their families together with the pension. As for the personnel responsible for logistics and the ordnance of siege equipment, rewards are given according to the situation, but the amount is much larger than that of the armies of other lords.

This is Byron’s greatest advantage. The salaries of his soldiers are the highest in Skadia, and the distribution of trophies is considerable. As long as the soldiers who follow Byron survive, they have accumulated a lot of savings. Byron also relies on it. This guarantees the source and morale of his troops, and Resalit's rigorous training can be tolerated by the soldiers. This time, Byron still maintained this high bonus, so that these soldiers could unswervingly prepare with him to deal with the army of the Earl of Leyland.

Byron sent more than a dozen teams of light cavalry to investigate, and he would never make the mistakes made by the enemy again. Yatiman and his engineering team just completed the siege equipment a few days ago, and are now engaged in repairing the city walls and improving the city’s defenses. Byron also intends to disassemble the counterweight stone thrower and put it in the fortress as a means of Long-term use of city defense weapons. Outside the city, the wood that can be processed into siege equipment was chopped down one by one, making the enemy spend more time and energy to find wood for processing siege equipment when they needed to siege.

The villages and towns in the surrounding area were also forcibly controlled by the troops sent by Byron. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com confiscated all weapons and armors and forced those experienced militiamen to work around the fortress, so as not to prevent the earl’s army from coming directly. Pull militias locally to replenish military strength. They also took away an unknown number of winter food reserves from these villages. The remaining villagers tried to resist, but apparently without weapons and experienced soldiers, they were not opponents of Byron's soldiers. Of course, Byron promised to return their food in the future, but these villagers would naturally not believe it. Even if they believed they did not think that Byron would return the amount they took away. Of course, Byron's mercenaries would not consider their ideas.

Byron spent a few days figuring out the solutions to the loopholes they found during the siege. He ordered the gravel and sawdust to be removed, and he dug out the weapons and armor in the half-destroyed armory. Although many of them are deformed and damaged, there are still many that can be used to supplement the ordnance damaged in previous battles. He sent a messenger to the north to report a letter, asking the Swadia lords in the north whether they would send troops to support him. Finally, he did not forget to send a letter to Veluga, telling His Royal Highness that his plan has been successful, and this raid on Veluga's siege and Fort Gruenward would soon end in failure.

Finally, Byron sent an elite cavalry squad to investigate in the direction of Gamizi and make some small actions.

After finishing all this, Byron found Kreis and planned to talk to her alone. He sneaked into the fortress alone and cooperated with the army to attack the city and made great achievements. Byron had to reward her well.
