Rise In Calradia

After the Peony Mercenary was attacked by the Brotherhood of the Green Forest, Byron offered a reward of 5,000 dinars to the Brotherhood of the Green Forest. At the same time, to ensure that his reputation was not damaged, he paid out of his own pocket and took out 5,000 dinars as a reward. The deposit before the recovery of the stolen goods was paid to the royal housekeeper.

　　 All the robbers from Dehrim to Palavin were unlucky for a while. If they can provide the news that Byron wants, then Byron will let them go and even give them a little money. But if you can’t provide it, Byron will clean them all!

　　 When Byron arrived at Suno, he once showed the left ears of more than one hundred and thirty people, all of which belonged to the bandits killed by them. And more than forty bandit captives were also handed over to the ransom broker. For a time, all the bandits in Swadia East were in danger, leaving the camps and hideouts they had operated for a long time, and fled to other places.

　　 Byron mobilized all the available manpower, and spent money to temporarily recruit a lot of mercenaries, the size of the army has surpassed the ordinary baron.

　　 Under the sweep of this force, there was no bandit force in the entire Swadia territory except the so-called Brotherhood that could resist.

　　 Byron and Eleon, Fatis and Bandak, the soldiers were divided into two groups, each with dozens of elite cavalry and a large number of infantry entered the forest to search for this group of bandits.

And a local baron also sent a knight and dozens of soldiers to help in the name of protecting the security of the territory, but Byron felt that they should have been eyeing the property hidden by the robbers, because they were out during the battle. Working hard, he moved fast and scary when he finished searching for loot.

　　 But more manpower is always a good thing. Even if the troops are divided into two teams, Byron still has almost a hundred soldiers under his team, they are all well equipped, and 30 of them are cavalry. Just for supplies, there are five carriages loaded.

　　 Byron’s efforts came to fruition. With the confirmation of nearby villagers and hunters, they finally found the approximate location of the brotherhood.

　　 "The farmers in the village, as well as hunters and charcoal-burners all said that they are in the forest in front, shall we go in now?"

　　 Eleon stood beside Byron, pointing his finger at the dense forest in front of him. Behind them, the soldiers were feeding the horses a meal, and by the way, they had a good rest and prepared for the previous battle.

　　 "Don't worry, Fattis and the others haven't arrived yet, it's too risky for us to pass this way."

　　Byron took a small stool from the carriage, sat down, and ate dried bread and jerky.

When Byron and the others were cleaning up robbers in other areas, many people fled to the Brotherhood. Even if it is conservatively estimated, the number of the other party will not be less than two hundred and fifty. Even if the equipment is poor, they cannot relax. alert.

　　Fatis had more soldiers than his, and the baron’s soldiers were with them. Only when Fatis arrived, the battle would be safe.

　　 "Kreis will go back and investigate, you'd better eat something along with it."

　　 "No, sir, I am eager for revenge now."

　　 Eleon fiddled with the glove in his hand, keeping his eyes on the woodland in the distance.

　　 After waiting like this for a while, finally there was movement in the forest.

But to everyone’s surprise, the robbers came out of the forest on their own initiative. About two hundred people lined up in a random arrangement on the clearing in front of the forest. Half of them had homemade bows and arrows in their hands. , The accuracy of that kind of bow is very bad, and the power is not enough. Only about one-third of them were wearing armor, and the rest were not much different from the peasants, and the weapons in their hands were also varied and unspeakable.

　　 "What do they want to do? Are you going to die?"

　　 Even Eleon, who was eager for revenge, was a little confused at this time. The opponent gave up the forest at home and played a decisive battle with them on flat ground? Even if their manpower is doubled, they are no match for Byron's troops.

　　 "Are there any scouts coming back from Kress?"

　　Byron became nervous and asked with a serious expression.

"No news."

　　 "Something bad."

　　 Byron thought for a moment, then gave the order.

　　 "Everyone, get ready to fight!"

　　 For a while, the food was dropped or put away, the horses put on blindfolds, and all the soldiers took up their weapons and lined up. The soldiers patrolling in the distance also returned immediately. The light cavalry was hovering nearby, and the heavy cavalry lined up on the flanks to initiate a charge at any time.

　　The green forest robbers did not attack immediately after they came out of the forest, but they still did not rectify their formation. Instead, they knocked on the crock pot from a distance, and even peeed at Byron and the others to humiliate them.

　　 Byron's mercenaries soon couldn't stand it, and they all asked for orders to fight.

　　 However, Byron is a bit suspicious. The commander of the other side dared to do this. There are only two possibilities, or he has no brains, but from the previous sneak attacks, it can be determined that this is not true. The second is that the other side set a trap to wait for them. Byron was very suspicious of this.

　　 Eleon didn't put this gangster in his eyes, but after the incident happened last time, he also admitted that he needed to be more cautious. So he suggested to move forward steadily, don't get too close to the forest, and attack them within the shooting range of the bow and arrow.

　　Byron agreed, and the team moved forward slowly for almost fifty meters. The crossbowmen also stood in the front row~www.novelmt.com~ raised the crossbow and started firing.

　　 But as soon as Byron and the others raised the crossbow, the robbers immediately began to retreat, out of range.

　　 "They are tempting us into the forest. We can't be fooled."

　　 As soon as Byron finished saying this, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in the gap between the firing of the crossbow arrows. In fact, it was not just him, the rest of the soldiers also turned their heads and looked behind him.

　　 They saw a group of cavalry rushing towards them with spears. They were large in number and equipped with miscellaneous equipment, followed by many farmers like people, holding pitchforks and wooden sticks in their hands.

　　 Because of the appearance of the robbers, Byron recalled the cavalry who had been guarding the rear, giving these guys a chance. The previous provocations of the robbers attracted their attention, causing these cavalry and mobs to rush so close to them.

　　 After the cavalry shouting and killing came, the green forest bandits who had hidden in the forest also suddenly shouted and launched a charge, trying to form a pincer attack on Byron and them.

　　 "Alain, you take half of the people to block the robbers, I will clean up the miscellaneous soldiers!"

　　Byron felt a deep sense of crisis. It was calculated by the other party, including the villagers who provided the information, as well as hunters and workers. All TM had colluded with these robbers, and waited for this moment to form a pincer. Fattis and the others haven't come yet, and they are probably in trouble.

　　Byron was annoyed that he was too careless, but there was nothing left to do it. The situation surrounded by the opponent had already formed, and only a battle could break through the block.

　　 "Leave it to me, sir!"

　　 Elaine replied loudly, and Byron also turned his horse's head, and led the cavalry unit toward the people behind.

　　 "Offensive, for the peony mercenary!"
