Rise In Calradia

　　 Bandak led this so-called caravan across the border, cautiously, approaching the Agron Fort like a smuggler, and let the soldiers inspect their cargo.

　　 Kress put on the cook’s clothes and carried the kitchen utensils on his back. On the other hand, Desaivi was disguised as a slave, always bowing his head, afraid to look at the guards and other people. Except for a few real caravan escorts, the other soldiers were all dressed up as caravan guys.

　　 After receiving a few silver coins Bandaksai gave him, the spearman who defended the city inspected the goods, gave a brief report, and let them pass.

　　 As Bandak expected, a small group of soldiers escorted Bandak and they had another group of merchants heading to the nearby town.

　　 But Bandak and their luck were not too good. These soldiers watched them closely along the way. When they reached a village, Kress found a chance to get out.

　　 It's a pity that Desaiwei's complexion is too obvious and it's easy to be spotted, so he couldn't get out.

　　 Kress also had another mercenary who knew the road. Together, the two detoured from the path and the forest until they sneaked into the village near the border.

　　 At this time, Kress also discovered an important piece of information, that is, several villages along the way are already full of Rhodok soldiers. And many soldiers are busy changing into civilian clothes, and the residents who previously lived here are also evacuating in batches.

　　 Kress doesn’t care about the confrontation between Swadia and Rodok, or the tactics against each other. But even so, she knew that if the villagers were replaced by soldiers, if Swadia's assault troops came here, there would be absolutely no good fruit.

　　 In addition, a large number of soldiers and workers also entered the forest on the border, began to build a large number of outposts, and built wooden walls. They also cut down some of the trees outside the forest, and used the cut wood to make a two-kilometer-long wooden Juma herd.

　　 If the Swadia cavalry wants to pass through here, these wooden stakes, which are inserted obliquely into the ground, are almost one and a half meters in length, can greatly hinder their attack. In the forest behind the refusal, well-arranged traps and walls can also cause great obstacles to the subsequent attack.

　　 Even if Kress has no culture and knows no strategy, he can guess that Roddock will make a big move.

　　 Kress took these all in his head, and waited to report it to Byron after he went back.

　　 But the way back was not smooth, because there were a lot of people in the forest, so Kress could only bypass the previously agreed trail and walk through the forest from a place where there was no human activity.

　　On the road, Kress also encountered two Rhodoc patrols. They questioned Kress’s identity and interrogated him.

　　 Fortunately, at a critical moment, the mercenary did not lose the chain, and gave a Rodok soldier a sword from behind, while Kress seized the opportunity to kill the other with a throwing knife.

　　 The two cleaned up the body, but it was still discovered by others. Kress took the mercenary to deal with each other in the forest for a day, risking losing his way, to convince the other party that they had left the forest, and then came back to meet Byron and the others.

　　 After knowing about Claes's experience, Byron immediately let them both mount their horses and ran all the way to a sentry in Swadia before stopping, and had time to talk with them.

　　 "This mission is really hard for you. I promise everyone will get the reward they deserve. You are all great soldiers. By the way, Kress, how about Bandak and them? What else happened along the way?"

　　 Next, Byron asked a few more questions, which could reassure the two of them and inquire about the information collected this time.

　　 The exhaustion on Kress’s face faded slightly, and he was touched by Byron’s concern. She thought for a few seconds, and then gave Byron the answer he wanted.

"Bandak should have no problem. I don’t think the soldiers who watch them will care about the two missing people in the team. If everything goes well, they will be able to return to our camp before next week. As for you. I remember all the things we collected, let me tell you..."

　　 From Kress’s mouth, Byron learned about the current situation of Agor Lombok and Gruen Ward. As Bandak said at the time, no loopholes were found in the defense, and the walls that were destroyed in the last war were basically repaired.

　　 and learned from the soldiers who escorted them that the city defense deployment of the two castles is often changed, and the city defense forces are organized into many teams. Except for some places where they can't move, the other teams don't even know if they will be transferred to another area of ​​the castle tomorrow.

　　 As for the castle, there are no loopholes to drill.

　　 As for the villages around Serendil, the people there also began to evacuate. A large number of troops and militias moved in, some of them dressed as civilians, hiding their identities.

Coupled with the strengthening of the defense of the large area between the two castles ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the increasing number of Rodok troops outside the border forest, Byron estimated that Rodok might take the initiative to attack this time outside the border forest. Start a field battle with Swadia instead of holding on to the city as usual.

　　 This strategy is a bit risky, but Byron is not clear about the specific situation of the Rodok army, so it is difficult to say the pros and cons of this move.

But if according to what Kress and the mercenary said, the area where the Swadia Kingdom used to exploit loopholes has established such a line of defense, then with the advantage of Rhodok's infantry, then they really The unfavorable Swadia’s offense. Even if you lose, you can retreat behind the line of defense.

　　 But regardless of the result, it is certain that Swadia's casualties will not be small. In that case, as long as it is not a big victory and not much loss, then the army gathered by Earl Greyward and the king's army will basically not be able to win the two fortresses.

　　Byron sorted out the information, added a little bit of his own thoughts, wrote these on paper, and returned to the military camp in the south of Uxhall.

　　 At this time, the scouts sent by the nobles had returned for two or three days, and even Earl Clays and Earl Greyward felt that Byron's speed was a little slow.

　　 Of course, when Byron reported the information they had collected, the performance of the adults did not disappoint Byron.

　　 The information submitted by the Peony Mercenary is more detailed than the noble army's investigation, and there is a lot of information about the Rhodok territory that the other party does not have.

　　 During the heated debate, several adults were also very relieved to hand in a new task to Byron, as well as a symbolic bonus of several hundred dinars.

　　While thanking the adults, Byron also cursed a bit of stingy in his heart.
