Rise In Calradia

　　 King Harous and several earls chatted for a while, and then took his childish son and his relatives into the camp.

　　 Regarding the barons, King Harous greeted them one by one and asked his son to see them.

　　 As for Byron and the knights around him, as well as the officers and cavalry with good background, there are one or two hundred people together, so King Haroush just shook hands with the people in the first row and verbally praised them.

After 　　, the king and the earls went to the camp together, and the knight officers around Byron also found the knights in the king's army, chatted with them, and took them to find a place for them to station.

　　 But Byron and Fatis Eleon were left in place like a background board.

　　Byron was a bit embarrassed. Even if he didn't have a chance to play, he could meet the king in front of him at any rate and leave a familiar impression.

　　 And this is the so-called "reward" for fighting bravery. Although this can increase Byron's worth a little bit, it is too bad, and it is better to pay a few thousand dinars.

　　Fatis and Eleon felt nothing. They hadn’t experienced similar occasions before. In front of the ruler, Byron’s current status would be good. Although he already has 600 mercenaries under him, his troops are enough to occupy a village. But after all, he was just a civilian, and he could not prove that he had noble blood. In front of the nobles, even if it is a ruined noble, he lowered his head.

　　 For several earls, including Kleis, the fact that Byron can be such a civilian mercenary captain is already in the face of being the captain of the largest mercenary team currently in Swadia.

　　 They even let Byron stand with the knights and gave him knight-like treatment. In their opinion, for such a small team to see such a scene, Byron only needs to be silently grateful in his heart.

　　Of course, they didn't know that although the large-scale cold weapon army cluster was indeed very strong in terms of visual impact, Byron had seen a stronger and larger number of modern troops on TV before crossing. The population of his home country is even more amazing, with thousands of people in the military training at the university. This kind of scene is really not enough to stimulate Byron.

　　Byron returned in disappointment, but when he returned to his camp, he still smiled forcefully, described the scene when the king came, and told them that His Majesty the King praised their bravery.

He repeated the words of King Haraus before the knights, deleted some of the titles and modifications for the rules, and did not tell them that this was what the king said to all the knight officers, and gave them a kind of peony mercenary. The illusion of attention.

　　 Because the three people on the road combined, Eleon and Fatis didn't say much.

　　Fatis said that this was a lie, but he also admitted that telling the truth too hurt Byron's authority and the morale of the newly reorganized Peony Mercenary.

　　Although he was a bit lost, Byron also knew that he was really nothing in front of the king. Harous's guards could kill these mercenaries twice.

　　 So Byron was only depressed and entangled for two days and one night, and then he was relieved.

　　 The wounded are almost well, and the king has arrived. Byron expects that the Marshal will order the siege soon. So he ordered his soldiers to prepare for the battle, and specially asked Bandak to explain some of the main points of the siege and how to save his life when attacking Rhodok Castle.

Soon, Earl Greyward’s messenger arrived, but it was very different from Byron’s imagination. Byron’s mission was to attack the town of Serendil and surrounding villages where a large number of Rhodok soldiers were already stationed. Empty that area.

　　Byron didn't know what the Earl and the others thought. After all, it was mentioned in the previous intelligence that most of the civilians in Serendil had been evacuated, and now they were stationed there with disguised Rhodok soldiers.

　　 Under this situation, what is the picture?

　　Byron didn't know the purpose of the earls, or if they were targeting themselves, trying to weaken the power of the peony mercenaries and prevent Byron from growing bigger.

　　 No matter what, this task cannot be pushed away, because the last signature is the name of King Harous. Even the Count Lord could hardly refuse the task entrusted by the king.

　　 And if Serendil is really taken, the Marshal's troops can arrive in time, and if the area is completely taken down, then Byron can get a lot of spoils in addition to food.

　　 There are more and more soldiers under him, and Byron is also eager for money more and more. Only a sufficient number of dinars can feed so many mercenaries and guarantee their combat effectiveness.

　　 In the large camp on the other side, Marshal Grayward was also nervously doing tactical deployment.

　　 King Harous brought ten thousand soldiers, which suddenly exceeded the thirty thousand mark.

　　 The number of siege equipment also exceeded that used in the war last year.

　　 But on the Rodok side, he also began to build a line of defense, trying to intercept Swadia's army outside the two fortresses. They attempted to use the forest and the Juma cluster, as well as the town of Serendil, located between the two castles on the Rhodok border, to consume Swadia’s military power~www.readwn.com~ Serendil has now become A nail that hinders Swadia’s southward offensive, if you don’t remove it, the Swadia army’s transport troops will be looted on the road continuously when it is attacking the city. The Rhodok army in the castle that was not surrounded could also attack the Swadia army from the side by relying on the cover of the forest.

　　Earl Greyward needs a fast and powerful force to clear Serendil, and then send an army to garrison, and then cut off the connection and support between Agron Fort and Gruen Ward Fort.

　　 However, the earl had a hard time choosing troops.

　　 This job is not easy. According to the information provided by the mercenaries before, Serendilli has stationed a large number of Rhodok soldiers in disguise, as well as many newly built walls and guard towers. If there are too many people, you will be found out, but if there are few people, you will not be able to take it down.

　　 And the loss is estimated to be large, so no earl is willing to send his soldiers over. He couldn't adjust the king's army, and he didn't want to use his own army. So he signed a name to the king, handed over the task to the Peony Mercenary, and promised that the Peony Mercenary could not only get support after taking the town, but also get most of the spoils. With the greedy character of mercenaries and the coercive power of the king, they will definitely pass.

　　 If you win, the plan will be completed, and the Peony Mercenary will lose a lot and become easy to control. If you lose, if it doesn't work, you will take the army to fight against Rodok in the field.

　　 Anyway, they are mercenaries hired with money, so don’t use them for nothing. And Earl Claes, who has always supported this mercenary team, also stood with him at this time. If he wants to subdue the peony mercenaries, he needs to weaken the power of the mercenaries and then show them the benefits. For this kind of trick, Earl Greyward is naturally no stranger.
