Rise In Calradia

Chapter 85: : The Baron's Civil War

   In the sultry summer, a light rain always makes people tired and tired.

   But after a short walk in the rain, people are eager to go back home and have a good night's sleep in bed.

  Even the beggars on the street would hide themselves on the corner of the street in a tattered coat and squint for a while.

   A well-dressed young man in a coat, some hurried across the street. As he passed by the beggar, his steps slowed down and paused for a while, took out a few copper plates from his pocket that had been given earlier, gently placed it in front of the beggar, and then walked away quickly.

   After he walked away, the beggar woke up, saw the copper plates in front of him, looked around for a while, then immediately put it in his arms, turned around and continued to sleep with the copper plates in his arms.

   The young man walked for a while, avoiding several pairs of unkind eyes hiding in the shadows, and stopped in front of the house marked with peony on the door, and opened the door.

   "Mr. Byron, you should tell me."

  As soon as he walked into the room, Byron saw Fatis's somewhat serious face.

   "You also know that you have offended many people, and many people are waiting for what to do to a mercenary captain when there is no one on the street."

   "An Xin, Fatis, I'm just going to visit Baron Sith and take a look at the shops. And Jinshou has just finished talking with us about cooperation, so I won't start on me now."

   Byron saw that the responsible cavalry captain and temporary bodyguard was so worried about his safety, a warm current rose in his heart, explained to the other party, and hung his coat on the nail on the wall.

   "Then you can't relax your guard, we have killed too many robbers recently, and some people have long wanted to kill us. When I went to the church yesterday, the patrolman caught a gangster who got into the city."

  Fatis listened to Byron's words, still sternly teaching Byron, and Byron also felt a little embarrassed and had to divert the topic.

"Let’s talk about business, Fatis. Now we have to make a choice to support the two barons of the Earl of Sweden, Lord Fros and Lord Ekmerk in a real matchup. They They all sent out employment invitations to us."

   Byron sat down, and Fattis poured hot water on him according to his habit.

"I heard that the only son of Lord Ekmerk was killed when he was competing with Lord Fros. It was still under the condition that Lord Ekmerk was already barren. The two sides are now dying. I thought Harao. King Sri Lanka came forward to mediate."

  Fatis nodded when he heard Byron's words, and sat down himself, looking a little confused.

  Byron shrugged and told Fatis what he knew completely:

"Yes, he intervened, and this is the result of the intervention! This is a trial he personally made. The two sides took their troops and set up a battle until one side died. In fact, I don't understand it very well. This can be a one-on-one decision. Why must so many people be killed? What does the king think?"

   Byron expressed his doubts, but after hearing his words, Fatis clapped his hands instead, nodded, and understood the meaning of King Harous.

"Obviously, this is the king's attack on the Earl of Tsweden. In the past few years, he has doubled the army in his territory, but when the king needed him to go to the battlefield of Rodok, he only sent two hundred infantry to follow. If he brings all his troops over, perhaps the kingdom has already invaded Veluga."

  Fatis, as a child of Swadia’s nobles, naturally understands the grievances between these nobles in the country.

  Byron then realized the intention of King Harous. The earl of Swadia governed one territory and governed multiple barons. At the time of the battle, more than half of their military power came from the barons under their own hands. If the King of Harous let the two barons of the Earl of Sweden lead an army to fight, the strength of the Earl of Sweden will be reduced in disguise.

   This move was both detrimental and poisonous, but Baron Aikmok, who was already a little confused, accepted the king's decision. In addition, King Harous also forbids the Count of Tsweden to intervene, which is very unrepresentative. In the game, it is known that Haraus of Swadia is a vengeful and greedy king, but I did not expect that this feature is more distinctive in reality than in the game.

"The fief of the Count of Sweden is in Kielred Castle. He has no interest in the southern lands. When King Harras attacked Gruenwald, he had always advocated attacking the Nord Kingdom in the north. The Count of Sweden The contradiction with King Harrods arose a long time ago, but I still think the king has done too much this time."

  Fatis sighed and put a cross on his chest. Even in Swadia, this is a sign of religion.

"This will kill a lot of people, but it also allows us to earn a large sum of dinars and enough prestige, which is exactly what we need. But now both sides have sent us invitations, we have to choose one Join, this is a key issue."

  Byron knows that things in the nobility circle are often very complicated, accompanied by conspiracy and rights disputes, so he didn't ask these questions too much. Since the identity is now a mercenary, let's think from the perspective of a mercenary, at least not so much brainstorming.

  Fatis thought for a while, and briefly introduced to Byron what he knew about the two barons~www.novelmt.com~ as a reference for selection.

   To put it simply, the Fros family has gone through seven generations and belongs to the old Swadia noble family. As the country lord, the Earl of Sweden takes care of the fief and enjoys part of the tax. Although Baron Aikmerk is very old, he is a noble family promoted by common people, and there are only two generations. However, he was responsible for training the standing troops for the earl and purchasing military horses, so he was not small in power, but also rich.

   As for the army, Baron Frost can also draw hundreds of militiamen from his territory and family manor in addition to his cavalry escort. And Baron Ekmok has many retired veterans who are willing to fight with him, as well as mercenary troops hired by him to serve him.

  If there is a fight, the scene should be similar to the last time Lord Clays attacked the Rodok bandit gang. And the Earl of Sweden will also lose hundreds of soldiers who can follow him in battle.

  Byron must measure which side can win. After all, this is a very offensive job. If you lose, you will be suppressed by hostile noble forces.

   Byron and Fatis discussed it for a long time, but there was no good result.

   And at this time, Eleon also came in with his jacket covered with rain, and after hearing about this mission, he also gave a simple and unreliable solution.

   "We are mercenaries. We will help whoever pays the highest price, so that the two barons will not say anything before and after the war."

   "It's not rough to be rough."

   Byron patted his thigh, and used poor grammar to say a word from another world that both Eleon and Fatis had difficulty understanding.

   Eleon twisted his clothes and looked at Byron suspiciously. He hadn't heard a similar sentence before, and he didn't know what the captain meant, or what he thought of his suggestion.
