Rise In Calradia

After the battle, Byron died 3 untrained Nord light infantry, 2 Swadia light infantry also lacking training and a real Swadia light infantry, 5 mercenary sentry, and horse battle. The three caravan escorts who died in the battle suffered considerable losses. However, compared to the opponent, the ratio of casualties to the enemy reached 4:1, which is already a very good victory.

　　 Bandak was slightly injured, but it shouldn't matter. Fatis was stabbed by a spear when he was charging, leaving a lot of blood, probably leaving a scar on his abdomen. But for Fatis, the scar is an honor, and you can't see it on the stomach anyway, don't worry too much.

　　Because all the supplies were burned and most of the silk was gone, Byron had to return to Shiva Chaze, repurchase the carriage, buy forage and dry food, and silk, ready to go back on the road.

　　 The guards in the city stated that the captives did not know who the businessman was, and had no intention of managing such commercial disputes and mercenary fights.

　　 So Byron did not be polite with the prisoners, except for the two who were handed over to the city guard, the rest was paid to the ransom agent for a few hundred dinars.

　　 The equipment that was seized by Byron was not wasted either. After talking with the armorers and merchants in the city, Jamila sold more than 60 sets of armor and weapons.

　　 There are also twenty sets of relatively intact armor and weapons that Byron left after repairing, with large and small numbers, which can be kept for his own soldiers.

　　 In this way, Byron's loss not only made up for, but also earned more than two hundred dinars, which could comfort his troops.

　　 Of course, this is not only the equipment income, but also the money for selling prisoners and the money that these mercenaries have in them.

　　 This time Byron does not plan to recruit soldiers here, so as not to get in with malicious guys.

　　 After purchasing a batch of silk again, and buying a few more horses that can fight, Byron went south again.

　　 There is a lot of safety on this circuit, and someone asked a child to give Byron a letter.

　　The content of the letter is very simple, meaning that the merchants in the city will not lend a hand to Byron. He suggested that the two sides reconcile, but Byron can no longer grab their business. There is no need to reply to this letter, because the other party will acquiesce that Byron agreed.

　　If Byron still dares to fight them, he doesn't mind having a real battle with Byron.

　　 And that night, a letter with the same content was also inserted on the table in the room where Byron slept.

　　Byron didn't encounter any danger when he went south this time. The robbers would not take such a big risk to rob Byron. And the so-called businessman also kept the promise in the previous letter, and did not trouble Byron again.

　　 In fact, Byron is very dissatisfied with the opponent's attitude, but he thinks that the opponent's strength should be stronger or not weaker than him. It is better to avoid conflicts with the opponent as much as possible. If he really wants to be disadvantageous to himself, it won't be too late to deal with him.

　　 And as long as they leave the Vikia transit, there will not be much intersection between them, there is no conflict of interest, and there is no need for hostility.

　　Byron believes that for these profit-seeking people, they are unwilling to bear the cost of fighting against themselves outside of their sphere of influence for such a thing.

　　 I just hope that they don't think about these dinars on their bodies. It is a wealth enough to make the nobles feel tempted. With this money, Byron will soon be on par with those low-level nobles.

　　 Returned to Dehrim from Riwa. It took Byron more than a month during which time he did a few trades, made some money, paid the troops, and recruited a cavalry team.

　　 2 hired riders and 15 caravan escorts. This is a big deal.

　　 Just to hire them, Byron paid a commission of 500 dinars, and these soldiers also declared their allegiance to Byron. Unlike an ordinary employment relationship, declaring allegiance means joining the Peony Mercenary Team. After that, unless Byron agrees, they can't leave!

It sounds very compulsory, but Byron knows that this kind of industry rules are still very fragile when life is in danger, so he does not have much hope for this allegiance, and more importantly, makes them like this army. Can get what they want from this team, so that it can really keep them.

　　 Of course, Byron will also use some disgraceful methods secretly. He makes his soldiers like the treatment that the rich can only enjoy, and makes them gradually addicted.

　　 There are some people who followed him for wealth at first, so once they have accumulated enough, they may leave. Someone had said this before, but in the end it was retained because of the salary. Then, Byron will make them even more eager, and instill in them a notion that it is right to follow him.

　　Occasionally, he would tell the soldiers the stories he saw in the books during the break, and these stories have a core, that is the betrayal and the corresponding price for betrayal!

　　 These soldiers have very little knowledge, and Byron is constantly instilling these concepts. Of course, he will also show them the things that can be obtained by following him, wealth, status, glory, and redemption.

　　Perhaps Byron can't brainwash them to think of himself as God, but at least, he can make them think of himself as a leader from the heart.

　　 It is said that a true leader will obey him just by contacting him~www.novelmt.com~trust him and give his life to him. Because theirs is very powerful in some ways, because their decisions are convincing.

　　 This is a unique charm, a charm that penetrates into the hearts of the people. Byron admits that he does not have this charm now, but at least for now, he still has time to learn gradually.

　　 After arriving at Dehrim, Byron sold the goods on the car, and the dinar again exceeded 10,000.

　　 Before Byron was away, there was a problem with his farm. Some officials in the city had some doubts about this. Some businessmen wanted to take this building down. Byron had to visit and explain. There are also some local ruffians. These people are everywhere. If you don't mix well in the city, you can go outside the city to get some extra money.

　　 Of course, when they came here again to collect the "protection fee", what awaited them was a team of heavily armed light infantry.

　　 Naturally, the protection fee could not be collected, and after inquiring about their situation, Byron also reached into the dark forces in the city through them.

　　 Byron pays a certain amount of compensation, and they collect useful information for Byron through their own channels, and they have the best of both worlds.

　　 Those good grooms and workers before, Byron fulfilled his promise, gave them weapons and armors, and made them his militia. With the addition of newly recruited farmers and refugees, Byron’s untrained Swadia militia reached 11, and they were trained together with other soldiers.

Moreover, with the financial support of Byron, the six previous mercenary sentries have also been upgraded. Four followed Bandak and learned to use crossbows and became mercenary crossbowmen. The other two were able to ride horses and became caravans. Escort.

　　 Within a few days, Byron bought another farm, and the peony mercenary in Dherim also gained a real reputation.
