Rise In Calradia

Chapter 39: : The joining of the illegitimate child

   "Good iron! Undoubtedly, this is made by Kurao."

   Captain Volgaski looked at the steel in front of him, tapped a few times with a hammer, then smiled with satisfaction, and the beard at the corners of his mouth rose.

   Then he went to the blacksmith to check the steel, and he was also very satisfied.

   "Let's make a price, I want these iron and the two pieces of steel."

   "Thank you, my lord."

  Byron bowed and winked at Elaine.

   This castle is not far from the Zhiva car, and this key position of the castle lord and his officials are very willing to pay high prices for military supplies such as steel.

  Besides, Byron also wrapped it a little bit, polished every piece of iron, and wrapped it in cloth. And he also asked Fatis and Eleon to show weapons made of the same material. The 1.2-meter long sword was shining in the sun, and the visual sense was very good.

   "6000 dinars, my lord, these goods are absolutely worth the price."

   "Don't fool me, black-hearted businessman. If these are well-built weapons, I would be happy to have more, but they are not worth the price now."

Captain    curled his mouth and stretched out 5 fingers.

   "5000 dinars, this is a fair price. It is enough to make you a fortune without paying taxes."

   "5500 dinars, my lord. As you said, they are not processed. Your blacksmith can process them into the shape you want."

   Byron said.

   "This is not a reason for the increase, boy. But for the sake of Elaine's face, I agree with the price."

   Captain Volgaski finally agreed to Byron’s offer. He is an old friend of Elaine’s father, and he also believes in Elaine’s innocence.

   Unlike the Kingdom of Swadia, the low-ranking nobles of Vickia are called captains. They are named because their territory can provide 100 soldiers during the war, which is similar to the number of commanders of Captain Vickia's officers in the past.

   These captains belonged to the Vijaboyes, and the Boyers were loyal to the king. When the king announced the beginning of the war, all the captains had to lead or send soldiers to participate in the war.

  In this castle, there are five captains who have different responsibilities, and the one in front of them is responsible for the procurement of munitions.

  Because of selling steel here, Byron did save a tax. Steel taxes are high, and Byron had already paid 130 dinars for the steel before entering the castle.

   But Byron’s purpose is more than that. He got a small amount of gold coins and a lot of silver coins from the captain, who was the treasurer, and filled a bag full.

   But Byron was not in a hurry to leave here, because Fatis wanted to dig a corner for Byron here.

   The existence of illegitimate children cannot be avoided in any kingdom. In some places, illegitimate children were scorned by the nobles, and in other places, they could get a little asset from their parents.

   On the issue of dealing with illegitimate children, the Nords are similar to the Vekias, and the Nord nobles sent the illegitimate children to the army for glory. The Vikya nobles are used to let illegitimate children learn a skill, and the best and most common way is to send the illegitimate children to the army.

   And these illegitimate children of nobles who have suffered discrimination since childhood are also eager to win glory and status in the army.

   Their resources are often not worse than those of ordinary noble children, so they are well trained. And they are willing and eager to go out for adventure, these people are a very good source of troops for Byron.

   These trained noble children can ride horses, use swords and axes. Many of them are above the level of Vikia's senior light infantry. They can effectively improve the level of Byron's troops and save a lot of training time.

   And if there are illegitimate children of nobles in the team, then in the future, they can also reach a better relationship with some nobles of Wichia.

   As a noble son of Vickia, Eleon is also a leader among young nobles. His influence on these illegitimate children is much higher than that of mercenary leaders like Byron.

  Fatis can also serve as a representative of following Byron to achieve good results, allowing those illegitimate children to make their own decisions.

   In addition, Byron sold the captured robber weapons and sellable leather armor from the blacksmith in the castle, and handed over the robber captives in front of many soldiers without payment.

   This has brought a better influence to Byron, and it also makes the soldiers in the city give a higher evaluation of Byron.

   The following day, Eleon found several illegitimate children of the nobles, one of whom was even arranged by a captain in the city.

   After an irresponsible flicker, two illegitimate cavalry chose to join Byron's team. They don't need to swear allegiance to Byron, they can choose to leave at any time. They get 6 dinars a week, and they have to take their share of the spoils after the battle.

   After adjustments, Byron set a salary of 10 dinars for the four heroes in his team, so as not to cause dissatisfaction with other heroes because of the salary gap. Maybe not now, but always prevent it.

   The two illegitimate children came to Byron and saluted Byron. Both of them are very strong, with a little beard on their faces, and both have equipment provided by an adult.

   The equipment is similar to Eleon's. The weapons include swords and axes, and a lance. The only regret is that they don't have the money to buy a horse armor for their horse~www.novelmt.com~ so the horse has only a layer of linen robe.

   And there is another thing that makes Byron very happy, and that is the joining of a few veterans.

   They lived near the castle, some were driven out of the army because of mistakes, and some were dissatisfied with the treatment.

   And Byron naturally accepted them all and gave them a salary of 4 dinars per week.

   These veterans are all at the level of senior light infantry, but their weapons are not complete. Only one of the four can get the necessary equipment, and although they can ride horses, they have no horses that can fight.

  Byron spent 200 dinars to equip these veterans with appropriate equipment, and they were equipped with Vikia's scale armor, battle axe and helmet.

   There are also horses. Theoretically, the army would not sell horses, but Byron was willing to buy the old travel horses out of the dinar. The sergeant who managed the horses naturally contacted a captain to take them out.

   may not be suitable for combat, but it is still a good choice to transport these old horses. Although they can't run, their endurance is still very good.

   Regarding Byron's recruitment of soldiers inside and outside the castle, the captains turned a blind eye to it.

  The illegitimate child is a topic everywhere. If Byron is willing to take them away and guarantee their treatment, those fathers will also agree.

When    was leaving, a captain also deliberately found Byron and reminded him to take care of his soldiers.

   After all, they didn't swear an oath to Byron. If they die casually, even if it is Shengze, they will slap some families in the face.

   Of course, if they develop well here and Byron's influence can continue to grow stronger, then more people with similar backgrounds will choose Byron to play for him.
