Rise In Calradia

Chapter 45: : This time it's our turn to take the skull!

   Byron immediately summoned soldiers, stepped up sales of trophies, and repaired weapons and armor.

   And in order to motivate them, Byron promised to reward them with 300 dinars after the fight, which is allocated according to their battlefield performance.

   And Byron also took them to meet the officer in charge of this mission. The opponent was a standard Nord veteran, with a big beard, a sturdy body and a little overweight, and speaking with Byron was also very bold.

Byron invited him to drink a glass of wine, and he happily took Byron to watch the Nord warriors under him. They all wore thick chain armor and chain armor, and there was also a piece of iron scale armor on the outside. , Looks very mighty after putting on the Nord helmet.

   Many of Byron’s soldiers have expressions of envy on their faces, which is good for improving their fighting spirit and their desire to fight.

   This is the 4th-level unit of the Nord Kingdom. Nord Warriors, one-on-one and the current Fatis singles do not fall short. As for their officer, he is also a senior Nord soldier, sergeant-level existence, and he can stand alone against Eleon.

   And the captain also told Byron that they still had a hundred mercenaries preparing to set off. He said that even if they faced two hundred pirates head-on, they would all be able to win.

   After listening to the captain's words, the Swadia soldiers in Byron finally regained their confidence and ignited fighting spirit.

   And Byron was also satisfied with one other thing. Byron's grooms and workers also began to aspire to become a full member of Byron's army. In the previous battle, they also got a little spoils, and also got Byron's reward.

   Even a groom used the little money he saved to buy himself a leather armor for the village militia, sharpened his saber, and hoped to pick up a leak in the battle. If they were really hired by Byron as soldiers, their salary and treatment would be twice as good as they are now.

   Byron also regained his self-confidence. After returning, he gave a victory speech to the soldiers, and then asked them to go back and prepare.

There were more than ten pieces of chain mail seized after the last battle. Byron picked out 6 pieces that were not severely damaged and gave them to his militia. Now Byron’s Swadia soldiers are all untrained Swadia lighters. Infantry.

   In addition to one piece of soft armor and chain mail, each one is equipped with an iron helmet of a pirate, two spears, a Germanic sword, and the shield has also been replaced with a reinforced zheng-shaped shield. These things are not cheap, especially the shields. Most of the Nords' shields are round shields, and the zheng-shaped shields are hard to find. And Swadia's infantry didn't use the kite-shaped shield much, but it was still quite suitable for Byron and the others.

   Byron’s previous losses were great, but there were also many trophies. Even if part of it covers the cost of equipment repairs and purchases, there is still a lot of money left.

The day before departure, Byron asked his soldiers and the captains of several other mercenary teams, as well as the soldiers in the city who participated in the mission, to have a big meal. Although there is not much alcohol, all kinds of food are very good. It took Byron more than 30 dinars to buy almost two cows, which shows its prosperity.

   Early the next morning, more than one hundred soldiers set off. They were rushing to the hiding place of the pirate in the nobles' intelligence.

  On the road, Byron rode on the horse and saw the whole picture of the army. Counting his own troops, their number is close to two hundred.

   Approaching fifty cavalry patrolling nearby on horseback, or guarding both sides of the team. The troops in the middle are lined up with two or three people, walking on the road like an army marching, and they still look quite imposing.

   Byron now has less than 50 people in his hands, but he believes that it won’t be long before he will have such a team with hundreds of people. At that time, many people will take the initiative to contact him to work for him.

When    was about to reach the location of the pirate camp, the cavalry dispersed and slowly surrounded the area, while Byron and the others also dismounted and walked to avoid being spotted by the opponent's sentry.

   The other party’s camp is located near a sandy beach near the coast, where there is a natural cave where you can shelter, and there is also a natural pier suitable for boats.

   Byron and a few commanders quietly came to the back of a small hill above the beach. From here, they saw several speedboats parked in the pier, as well as the pirates who gathered together to eat and distribute the spoils. The number of pirates that Byron can see alone is no less than fifty. And there were people moving on those speedboats, and there were fires in the caves, and the number of people is estimated to be quite large.

   I can see that they are very careful. There are many sentries and archers nearby. And even when they were resting, most of the pirates were wearing armor, and weapons were kept by their side.

   "There is no good way, their sentries are arranged so well, no matter how we will be discovered by them."

  Byron carefully looked at the terrain and the other party's personnel arrangement for a while. He was a little discouraged. He originally wanted to kill the sentries one by one and then engage in high-altitude surrounding and attacking them, but now it doesn't seem to work.

"Let our crossbowmen shoot at their archers, and there will be a trail there, probably left by the pirates when they entered and exited by themselves. Although it is a bit narrow, we can pass as long as we are fast enough. Waiting for our soldiers When fighting with them, they don’t have time to care about the beach on the other side. When our cavalry rushes in from the other side, as long as there are no traps, we can destroy them all."

After    Commander Nord carefully observed the surrounding situation, he made a combat plan.

   Byron and several other captains also agreed to his arrangement and expressed confidence to hand over the troops to him.

   In fact, Byron didn't really trust him, but he really couldn't think of a better way.

After returning to his team, Elaine and Bandak had no objection. Bandak led the light infantry to take out the crossbow and squatted to a place near the edge of the high slope, and other mercenaries. The team's crossbowmen and archers stayed together, and each aimed at the target.

   And Commander Nord also took the Nord warriors under him to stand at the forefront, and Elaine was also standing in the team. Then came the equipped mercenary infantry, and then the light infantry. Byron and several other mercenary captains stood in front of the light infantry and mercenaries, leading them to charge. In the end, in order to prevent a sneak attack, some Nord commanders also arranged two Nord Warriors behind.

   They waited for a while, and the pirates also began to change their guards. Those pirates who stood on guard and those who replaced them were not wary at this time. When they were about to chat with each other casually, Commander Nord issued an order to launch more than 20 crossbows and bows together. More than a dozen pirates who were standing guard and changing of guard were shot. The archers that the pirates had arranged before were basically fallen under this shooting. Maybe they will stand up again, but at least they won't cause trouble now.

   Bandak’s heavy crossbow directly shot through the helmet of a pirate captain, and the guy lay on the ground before making a sound.

   "Attack!"

   Commander Nord roared, and rushed towards the pirate below.

   And the other soldiers lined up with two of them, lined up and rushed towards the pirates, raised their weapons, and shouted "Fight! Kill!"

   The pirates were killed by sudden casualties and shouts, but they were gangsters with plenty of experience after all. In a burst of verbal abuse and roar, they quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed towards Byron and the others, even forming an unobvious square while running.

   Just as Byron and the others had guessed before, when Byron and the others rushed to the beach, the pirates on the boat and in the cave also picked up the guys and joined the fight. In this way, the number of pirates exceeded a hundred.

   But Byron was not afraid. When they quickly formed a formation on the beach to start a charge, he even shouted:

   "I want to use your skulls to make bowls too!"

   As for whether the other party can understand it, Byron doesn't know.
